Chapter 396: Let Her Do What She Wants

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

This was Sang Qianqian’s principle and her bottom line.

She couldn’t possibly do what Xu Meixi wanted and keep what happened a secret.

However, she kept her word. When she reported the matter to Director Miao and the Hospital Director that day, she pleaded for Xu Meixi.

Even though her report was tactful, she did not directly point the suspicion toward the girl.

However, Director Miao and the Hospital Director could roughly guess the whole story when they saw Cui Yi’s test data and the cause of death report.

The outcome of this matter was even harsher than Sang Qianqian had expected.

Director Miao wanted Xu Meixi to change her job in the logistics department and not stay on the frontline anymore.

He still wanted to give her a chance, but the Hospital Director was determined not to let Xu Meixi stay.

“Old Miao, haven’t you thought about it? Qianqian’s professional ability is much better than Xu Meixi’s, but the hospital wanted to fire her because she hypnotized Xie Shi’an without permission. Now that Xu Meixi had done something on a much worse level, how could the hospital be biased?”

When the Hospital Director used Sang Qianqian as an example, Director Miao was rendered speechless.

No matter what Sang Qianqian said, it was useless. She insisted again and again, and finally, the Hospital Director promised not to publicly announce the dismissal decision in the industry. Instead, Xu Meixi was given a chance to resign voluntarily. At least, this way, she would not have to bear too much pressure.

In the department office.

Xu Meixi’s face turned pale when she heard the result. She sat there in a daze, not angry at all.

Overnight, her life had changed drastically. This change was almost subversive.

“Is this the favor you promised me?”

Xu Meixi raised her head and looked at Sang Qianqian, her eyes full of resentment. “What’s the difference between this and being expelled?”

“I’m sorry,” Sang Qianqian said softly.

This was indeed not the result she wanted to see, but she could not change the Hospital Director’s decision.

“Meixi, Qianqian has already done her best.”

Yin Shuhui couldn’t help but explain, “You don’t know the Hospital Director’s temper. There’s no way to convince him…”

Xu Meixi’s lips twitched. “Is that so?” she said sarcastically. “Then I’ll really have to thank her. It’s all thanks to her that I’m where I am now.”

Yin Shuhui was stunned for a moment before she realized who Xu Meixi was referring to. She was speechless. “Meixi, how can you say that?”

“Am I wrong? Didn’t she already know that 1 would end up like this when she insisted on going to the director?”

Xu Meixi’s eyes were filled with resentment. “She was the one who brought Cui Yi to the hospital, and she was the one who asked me to take care of him. If that wasn’t the case, those people wouldn’t have targeted my cousin, and they wouldn’t have kidnapped my aunt and uncle to threaten me.”

She stared at Sang Qianqian and said coldly, “You didn’t save Cui Lie just to cure him. He was a dead man, but you insisted that he could be saved. Now that he is dead, you refuse to believe me and give me any chances. You insist on sending me into eternal d.a.m.nation. Are you trying to show your justice, or are you trying to take revenge on me because you didn’t get what you wanted from Cui Yi?”

“You’re saying Qianqian is taking revenge on you?”

Yin Shuhui was stunned. She felt that Xu Meixi was unreasonable. “Xu Meixi, listen to what you’re saying. You really don’t know what’s good for you!”

Sang Qianqian felt that Xu Meixi was a stranger at this moment. She was completely different from the obedient and hardworking girl she used to be.

“I did have things to ask of Cui Yi. I do have regrets about his death, but it didn’t make me want to take some sort of revenge on you. If 1 really wanted to, it wouldn’t have turned out this way.”

Sang Qianqian paused for a moment before she said calmly, “Ask yourself and think back whether I have a clear conscience about you or not.”

Whether it was in the past or now, she had given Xu Meixi the greatest kindness and help. Even if she was the biggest suspect in Cui Yi’s death, she still tried her best to leave her some leeway.

However, if the other party insisted on thinking of the worst, then she couldn’t do anything.

Xu Meixi bit her lip and left without saying a word.

She didn’t even return to the office. After completing the resignation procedures that day, she disappeared and never appeared again.

“So what about the things on her table?”

When it was time to get off work, Yin Shuhui pointed at Xu Meixi’s desk and asked Sang Qianqian, “Do we just throw it away?”

Xu Meixi’s table was filled with many girls’ toys, such as cups, photo frames, and small dolls. There were also some thick medical books.

Yin Shuhui originally had some sympathy for Xu Meixi, but the words she said before she left made her sympathy and good feelings disappear. Therefore, she felt annoyed when she saw the girl’s things.

Sang Qianqian thought for a moment and found a box under her desk. “Let’s just put it away. Who knows, she might come back to get it one day.”

When she came out of the hospital, it was already late at night.

From afar, she saw Shen Hanyu leaning against the car and waiting for her. His eyes were slightly lowered as if he was thinking about something. His body seemed to be stained with the darkness of the night.

Sang Qianqian stopped in her tracks and looked at him silently for a while. Suddenly, she didn’t want to go home.

She walked toward Shen Hanyu. “Hanyu.”

Shen Hanyu looked up. His heavy emotions had already faded away, and there was only gentleness between his brows. “Are you done?”

Sang Qianqian nodded. “1 heard from Shuhui that there’s a food street nearby. It’s very lively at night. Shall we go and take a look?”

“Hungry?”

Shen Hanyu opened the car door for her. “Get in the car, then. We’ll be right there.”

“I don’t want to.”

Sang Qianqian said coquettishly, “I don’t want to take a car today. Let’s just walk around after we eat. When we’re tired, we can take a taxi home.”

Shen Hanyu was slightly stunned.

The food street was in a nearby residential area. It was very lively and the smell of fireworks was very strong.

It was already so late, but there were still many low tables by the roadside, filled with diners. Small stalls and food stalls were scattered among them, and the aroma of all kinds of delicacies was alluring.

Sang Qianqian pulled Shen Hanyu along and ate the food sold from the street stalls. Not only did she eat the food herself, but she also insisted on feeding it to Shen Hanyu.

Shen Hanyu helplessly and dotingly allowed her to do whatever she wanted.

Even though the food she fed him tasted weird, he still swallowed it with a calm expression. In the end, he even praised her mischievously, “The taste isn’t so bad.”

In the end, Sang Qianqian couldn’t eat anymore and left.

The long street was quiet and the evening wind was cool. The two of them held hands and strolled.

She suddenly recalled what happened two years ago.

At that time, she was still studying at Ming City University. She thought that she would never have anything to do with Shen Hanyu after she cured his insomnia.

However, in just a few months, she had fallen for him. Not only did she become his girlfriend, but she also agreed to his proposal.

At that time, he would pick her up almost every night. The two of them would walk around the campus, chat, eat at the food street next to the school, and then go home hand-in-hand.

Now that she thought about it, Sang Qianqian was the happiest and most carefree during those days.

Not long after that, all kinds of changes occurred.

Her and Shen Hanyu’s life was like a calm lake, but it suddenly became turbulent.

And now, although everything seemed to be calm and peaceful, she felt an indescribable sense of unease in her heart. It was the kind of uneasiness that came before a storm..
