Chapter 710 Shen Yuechuan, You Can’t Be That Selfish (2)

She had never experienced being ridiculed and despised in two or three places she consecutively visited in a single day, like it happened this day.

She seemed to understand what it meant to be wronged.

However, she couldn’t cry. She couldn’t admit defeat to Lin Zhixia!

After she got in the car, Dr. Xu called to ask how things were going.

“I ignored the fact that I needed to wait,” Xiao Yunyun said, “only when the police come forward can I see the bank’s surveillance video. But there are still many cases ahead of me. It’ll take at least one day for the police to deal with my request.”

Dr. Xu said, “Come back to the hospital first.”

After returning to the hospital, Xiao Yunyun realized that things were getting worse.

This day, Mr. Lin went through another episode, and his situation was not very optimistic. Dr. Xu had informed his family that Mr. Lin was in a critical condition.

Ms. Lin kept on shouting, insisting that she had spent too much money to cure Mr. Lin’s disease to no avail, so he had to be a quack!

“I don’t want my 8,000 yuan back anymore!” Ms. Lin made a mess in the president’s office and shouted, “Fire the intern! Now!”

Xiao Yunyun heard those words said against her as soon as she arrived at the president’s office.

She walked into the office and said, “Ms. Lin.”

“How shameless of you to stand before me!” The woman rushed to Xiao Yunyun with a grim face. “It’s all your fault. It’s you who led to my father’s current situation!”

Xiao Yunyun flexibly avoided the woman who pounced her way. She frowned and asked, “Why?”

Ms. Lin roared angrily, as if she was treating Xiao Yunyun as a punching bag, “I just asked you to hand a red packet to the doctor, but you couldn’t even handle such a small thing. You’re just a good-for-nothing!”

Xiao Yunyun felt that all her claims were ridiculous, and countered all of Ms. Lin’s accusations one by one.

“I’m a doctor. I’m only responsible for treating Mr. Lin’s illness, not for running errands for you. So, I’m not obliged to help you hand the red packet to others. Finally, I’m clearly telling you that I would have given the money to Dr. Xu on your behalf, if I had known there was cash in the file bag.”

In the end, she firmly and forcefully articulated each word and a strong aura was condensed in the bottom of her eyes. For a moment, Ms. Lin was frightened by her momentum.

After a while, Ms. Lin came to her senses and said with a chuckle, “You didn’t know there was cash in the file bag?”

Xiao Yunyun said coldly and lightly, “You clearly told me that there was information in the bag.”

“Ha... How funny,” Ms. Lin looked at Xiao Yunyun sarcastically and said, “Stop pretending. I don’t believe you didn’t know there was cash inside.”

Xiao Yunyun was about to argue, but Ms. Lin had already turned to the president.

“I’ve spent so much money, but my father is still in a coma. And your intern dared to pocket my money!” Ms. Lin was so angry that her face was almost deformed. “I won’t order you to cure my father immediately, but you must fire this intern right now!”

“Dr. Xiao...” the president looked at Xiao Yunyun and said, “the time we agreed upon has come. You said that you could prove your innocence. Can you show me the evidence now?”

“President, I still need two more days...”

This was Xiao Yunyun’s last hope. She was about to ask the president to give her more time, but the latter interrupted her coldly, “Well, don’t struggle in vain. I’ll notify the medical department to release your punishment. Go back to the office and pack up your things. Just go.”

Xiao Yunyun shook her head and said, “President, you can’t do this.”

“I can only do this,” said the president in a loud voice with a stern look. “Now the clamor against you on the Internet is too loud. And the patient’s family member has the most strident opposition towards you. This matter can’t be settled if I don’t fire you!”

“...” Xiao Yunyun suddenly calmed down and looked at the president. “You can fire me without finding out the truth, just to settle the matter, right?”

“...”

The president didn’t reply, but his silence clearly led to sacrificing Xiao Yunyun.

Xiao Yunyun wanted to laugh, but she felt so sad that she couldn’t. The only thing left to do was to return to the office.

It was probably the feeling of being bitterly disappointed.

In order to reduce the impact received by the hospital and appease the family members, the hospital was willing to sacrifice her reputation and future.

Even if the president didn’t fire her, she would not stay in such a hospital any longer.

Back in the office, one of her colleagues told her, “The medical department has released the news on the Internet that you have been fired.”

Another colleague said indignantly, “The staff of the medical department are always slow in dealing with affairs, but they release the news on the Internet rather quickly. Yunyun, are you really going to leave?”

Xiao Yunyun nodded and said, “Yeah.”

Several colleagues were very surprised. Xiao Yunyun was still fully confident the day prior, insisting that she wanted to prove her innocence.

“I’m indeed leaving, but I won’t simply admit it,” Xiao Yunyun replied to put her colleagues at ease. “I will investigate the matter and prove that I never took the money.”

The colleagues who knew Xiao Yunyun a little understood her plan and asked with regret, “Yunyun, don’t you want to work as an intern here anymore?”

If Xiao Yunyun still wanted to stay there, she wouldn’t be that ready to leave.

She pursed her lips and said, “I will miss you.”

She didn’t have many things in the hospital. A small cardboard box was big enough. She found a large group of media reporters gathering in front of the building when she went downstairs.

The reporters rushed up as soon as they saw her.

“Miss Xiao, you are said to be the cousin of the Cheng An Group’s president. Can you explain why you did this?”

Xiao Yunyun had planned to ignore the reporters, but she suddenly stopped when she heard this question. She stared at the reporter and replied, “No.”

“Why?” the journalist asked excitedly, “Can you tell me the reason?”

“Because I didn’t take that sum of money at all,” Xiao Yunyun said, “I didn’t have the need for it either.”

“Since you’re innocent, why would the hospital expel you?”

The reporters were reluctant to give up, but Xiao Yunyun didn’t want to respond anymore. She kept saying, “Excuse me,” then she went to the parking lot and drove away from the hospital.

It was rumored on the Internet that Xiao Yunyun was driving a Porsche Panamera. The reporters saw that she was driving such a car, so they pointed their cameras at the car and took a lot of photos.

Xiao Yunyun sped up after getting rid of the reporters. She was about to arrive at the apartment when she suddenly received a message from Lin Zhixia—

“I’m at a cafe on Anhua Road. Could we meet?”

Xiao Yunyun didn’t reply. She turned the car and drove straight to Anhua Road.

There was only one cafe on the whole road and it was decorated elegantly. Xiao Yunyun walked in and saw Lin Zhixia.

Xiao Yunyun was worked up, while Lin Zhixia still looked gentle and harmless. She smiled and waved hello from a sofa.

Xiao Yunyun walked over. As soon as she stopped in front of her, she heard Lin Zhixia announcing, “I won.”

Lin Zhixia kept smiling, and she said it in a particularly gentle voice, as if she weren’t announcing her victory, but simply greeting Yunyun.

Xiao Yunyun felt it was incredible.

How excellent her acting skills were, to be able to perfectly wear a fake smile?

“What’s wrong?” Lin Zhixia looked at Xiao Yunyun with great concern and asked, “Aren’t you happy that you’ve lost your favorite job?”

Speaking of job, Xiao Yunyun unconsciously clenched her fists and said, “Lin Zhixia, you haven’t won as long as I don’t give up. Don’t be happy too early.”

“I don’t think so.” Lin Zhixia arrogantly looked at Xiao Yunyun as a winner. “Let me put it this way... Even if you can prove your innocence, you still lose, because—Yuechuan won’t like you.”

The implication was that Xiao Yunyun had lost on the matter of fighting for Shen Yuechuan, which meant that she would be the winner in the end.

“It’s simply because Shen Yuechuan didn’t see your true colors clearly.” Xiao Yunyun bent down and stared at Lin Zhixia. “And what you really are happens to be the kind of person he hates the most. Lin Zhixia, you’d better keep up your act perfectly and never expose yourself. Shen Yuechuan can hold you up in the sky with his own hands, and he can also let you fall into hell. You should pray for yourself when there’s no one around you.”

“Ha—” Lin Zhixia chuckled with a touch of malice and chill in her eyes. “You’d better worry about yourself. Xiao Yunyun. What’s the difference between you and someone with a ruined reputation now?”

“The truth will be revealed sooner or later, and you won’t be happy for long,” Xiao Yunyun countered fearlessly. “Lin Zhixia, I promise that you’ll be in a worse situation than I am now.”

After that, she left the cafe and drove straight to Shen Yuechuan’s apartment.

To her surprise, Shen Yuechuan had already gotten off work and returned to his apartment.

She went straight to pack up her things without greeting Shen Yuechuan.

She was going to leave that place. But before she proved her innocence, she didn’t want to see Shen Yuechuan again.

Shen Yuechuan, who was sitting on the sofa, said suddenly, “What’s your plan?”

“I’ll keep on investigating. The whole thing is full of loopholes; I don’t believe that I can’t find out the truth.” After a pause, Xiao Yunyun lightly added, “If Lin Zhixia can really hide the truth from the masses, so that I have no way to prove my innocence; at worst, I’ll just die with her.”

Shen Yuechuan’s temples throbbed, and he suddenly stood up. “Why did you tell Xiaoxi that I was investigating this matter for you? Why didn’t you ask Yicheng for help?”

“Because you’re a bastard. You actually believed that I would frame Lin Zhixia!” Xiao Yunyun was extremely angry. She then said, “Shen Yuechuan, I will personally take off Lin Zhixia’s mask to prove that she’s not worthy of your love, at all.”

After a few tough words, she turned around and was about to leave.

Shen Yuechuan strode over quickly and grabbed Xiao Yunyun.

He had a vague feeling that Xiao Yunyun’s reason had been exhausted. Maybe she didn’t know what she would do next.

Shen Yuechuan was suddenly afraid. He was afraid that if she left this day, he would lose her forever.

“Xiao Yunyun,” Shen Yuechuan said with an indifferent and merciless look as a warning, “you’d better not be impulsive.”

“Don’t worry,” Xiao Yunyun smiled and said word for word, “I will definitely not let Lin Zhixia go.”

Shen Yuechuan made up his mind and warned her in a gloomy voice, “I won’t allow you to hurt Zhixia.”

“...”

As she looked at his eager and protective look, Xiao Yunyun wanted to lose her temper, to roar, and to rush and bite him.

But finally, all her impulses turned into sneers.

She looked into Shen Yuechuan’s eyes. “Are you afraid? Are you afraid that I’ll hurt Lin Zhixia, or are you afraid that I’ll ruin her perfect image?”

Before Shen Yuechuan could say anything, she violently shook off his hand and shouted with red eyes, “Shen Yuechuan, it’s okay if you don’t believe me. It’s also okay that you think that I want to frame Lin Zhixia, but you can’t stop me from proving my innocence. You like Lin Zhixia, and you think she is perfect, but you can’t let her smear me so as to protect her perfect image. You can’t be this selfish!”
