Chapter 127: Chapter 127: Even if you’re seventy or eighty years old, you still have to stand aside

The voice of Qian Niannian’s scream was not small, it made a striking sound against the stillness of the night. In an era where there were not many forms of entertainment, everyone would not miss the chance to watch a scene. As soon as Qian Niannian let out a scream, the lights that were extinguished instantly lit up again. Not long after, the third-floor corridor was filled with onlookers.

Everyone gathered around Tong Yao and Qian Niannian, whispering among themselves, curious about what had happened. Why would Tong Yao not sleep and run to the third floor instead?

However, one thing they were very certain about was that there would be a good show to watch tonight.

"What’s going on?" Chen Yanmei squeezed out from the crowd and when she saw Qian Niannian, she exclaimed, "Oh! Niannian, what happened to you, why are you all wet?"

Even though she seemed to be caring about Qian Niannian, Chen Yanmei was ecstatic in her heart. She wished the situation could escalate even more, and let everyone witness Tong Yao’s bullying.

The incident where she had a fight had only happened about half a month ago.

Now she even splashes water on people in the middle of the night, so arrogant. The Dean will be alarmed by this commotion. Let’s see how Tong Yao could continue to live in the dormitory.

"Sister Yanmei, you be the judge for me. I was sleeping peacefully in my room when she suddenly rushed in carrying a basin of cold water and doused me entirely. She bullied me like this even when I didn’t provoke her!" Seeing that the crowd had increased, Qian Niannian was emboldened. She pulled Chen Yanmei over and started sobbing, looking very wronged and compared to Tong Yao’s fierce expression, she really did look like a victim of huge injustice.

Looking at it this way, it seemed as if Tong Yao really was in the wrong. After all, this is a girls’ dormitory on the third floor, even if there were some minor disputes between the two, it was indeed too outrageous for Tong Yao to splash water on Qian Niannian.

"Is Dr. Si’s wife out of her mind, coming to splash people with water in the middle of the night?"

"Keep your voice down, Dr. Si is also here."

"Could it be that there is something going on between Dr. Si and Qian Niannian and Dr.Si’s wife found out about it! I saw Qian Niannian being sweet to Dr.Si before."

"Who knows, just wait and see!"

Everyone whispered amongst themselves, discussing what had actually happened.

"What are you doing?" At this point, Chen Yanmei adopted the manner of an officials’ wife and played the role of mediator. She began criticizing Tong Yao, "Even if there were minor disputes between you, you didn’t have to splash water on her and the bed. You have turned her bed like this, how is she going to sleep at night?"

Good thing she didn’t let her husband come up just now, which gave her the chance to be the mediator.

Tong Yao glared at Chen Yanmei, "None of your business, shut up."

She despised people like Chen Yanmei who acted bossy. In the hospital, Chen Yanmei’s husband was a deputy director, everyone gave her some face considering her husband’s position, and Chen Yanmei was complicating things.

"Hey, what’s with your tone?" Chen Yanmei was shouted at by Tong Yao in the presence of everyone, it was hard for her to maintain face, her expression fell instantly, "Even though I am ten years older than you, I still count as your elder. I am here to mediate out of goodwill, why are you making a snap like a rabid dog?"

With so many early minds, Chen Yanmei did not fear quarrelling with Tong Yao, after all, she was in the right. The bigger the fuss, the better. Better still, alarm the Dean and directly drive Tong Yao out of the dormitory.

"Dr. Si’s wife must be out of her mind! How could she dare to mess with Chen Yanmei,

is she not afraid that Chen Yanmei’s husband will make things difficult for Dr. Si?"

"She offended the Dean at the last banquet, what’s the big deal in offending a deputy director’s wife now?"

"Watch! This is not a small matter, Dr. Si might not stay in the hospital for long. With such a trouble-making wife like this, Dr. Si might not have a few peaceful years."

There were a few who didn’t like Si Chen, everyone had an ill-intentioned expression, standing by and waiting to laugh at him.

Although Li City Hospital was not big, it was currently the best hospital in Li City. When Si Chen was initially invited by the Dean, many people were unhappy. How could a young and just graduated doctor get a salary of a hundred yuan?

Everyone had an opinion but didn’t speak out, they were all waiting for Si Chen to make a mistake in his treatment and ruin himself. But to everyone’s surprise, Si Chen not only made no mistake in more than a year of his service, but had also successfully performed more than a dozen major surgeries. From initially assisting the attending physician to now doing the surgeries himself, even some patients specifically selected Si Chen to operate on them through referrals from friends.

No one could deny that Si Chen was indeed talented, but being too outstanding at such a young age might not be a good thing. Previously the Dean favored Si Chen and Shiya was also fond of him, so others would show him a little respect, not daring to deliberately trouble him.

But now that Si Chen and the Dean had a fallout, naturally some people looked forward to seeing him become a laughingstock, especially when someone from Kyoto is coming over. There were only a few capable and young doctors, Si Chen was one of the best among them. Who wouldn’t want to knock him down a peg and eliminate one competitor?

Even though everyone looked cordial, they were all like smiling tigers, each with their own calculations in mind.

"Right now, this is between me and Qian Niannian. Did I ask you to judge? You haven’t even educated your own son well and you are interfering in other people’s affairs. Save it!" Under everyone’s gaze, Tong Yao sneered and did not give any respect to Chen Yanmei. "Only when I respect you, you are my elder. If I don’t respect you, no matter if you are seventy or eighty, you will have to stand on the side."

In a society governed by law, everyone is equal. Even if Chen Yanmei is a deputy director’s wife, she’s not superior over anyone else and shouldn’t look down at her.

Whoever wants to curry favor with Chen Yanmei should do so. She won’t.

If they see her as an easy target, then she’ll show these people whether an easy target is really easy to pinch.

When the onlookers heard Tong Yao’s words, they couldn’t help but feel nervous for her, thinking that she indeed had the audacity of a newborn calf who is not afraid of a tiger. How could she disrespect Chen Yanmei like this? There really was a good show to watch now.

Everyone thought that given Chen Yanmei’s character, the conflict would certainly escalate. This time not only would there be a conflict between Qian Niannian and Tong Yao but also Chen Yanmei’s.

However, to everyone’s surprise, Chen Yanmei did not lose her temper this time, and instead took a step back, "Alright, alright, I won’t meddle. You guys sort this out yourselves. I want to see how you are going to resolve this."

Does she think I’m a fool?

This has nothing to do with me, why should I put in such great effort?

A little demon who’s just arrived and really regards herself as an onion. She would like to see how Tong Yao is going to resolve this issue now.

Anyway, the fire has been ignited and it won’t be extinguished for a while. Even if she doesn’t add fuel to the fire, Chen Yanmei had learned to be smarter. She stepped aside and prepared to watch the show.
