Chapter 295
Chenyang could see that Lin Xiaoyue seemed to be hiding something, but he couldn’t just tell Liu Qian to stop in front of everyone. He shot her a look, hoping she would drop it.
But Liu Qian didn’t catch the meaning in his glance.
Her mind was completely focused on helping Chenyang solve his problem, so she didn’t even bother asking him. Instead, she turned directly to Mr. Lin and blurted out Chenyang’s entire predicament.
Chenyang tried to interrupt her several times. The first few times, Liu Qian either pushed him away or flat-out ignored him, continuing to speak. The next few times he tried, it was Mr. Lin who stopped him, giving Liu Qian the chance to finish what she was saying.
After she finished, Mr. Lin frowned and looked at Lin Xiaoyue. "Lin Jiji is the boyfriend you’ve been seeing, right?"
"He is."
"Did you know about all this that Director Liu just mentioned?"
Lin Xiaoyue sighed. "I knew."
"If you knew, then as one of the people involved, why didn’t you step forward to help Doctor Chen clear his name?"
"I only just found out on my way to buy the wine. Besides, it’s not what you think."
"How is it not what I think? Lin Jiji resents Doctor Chen for saving you first, and now he’s using the influence you so-called ’superstars’ have to slander him.
In this situation, as his girlfriend, you should be stopping him. As someone who was there, you should be clarifying the facts. More importantly, Doctor Chen is the man who saved both our lives. You, of all people, should have taken action sooner."
Lin Xiaoyue’s brow furrowed. "Uncle, I’ll do what needs to be done, but this really isn’t as simple as you think."
Mr. Lin asked, "What’s not simple about it?"
"Well..." Lin Xiaoyue shot a strange glance at Chenyang and Liu Qian, then said, "I’ll explain it to you later."
Hearing this, Chenyang instantly understood what Lin Xiaoyue was thinking. He glanced at his phone, then stood up. "Sorry, the ER just paged me for a consult. You guys go on without me."
"We’ve only just started. Why are you leaving already?"
"I don’t want to, but it’s an emergency. Saving lives comes first. I’ll treat you next time."
With that, Chenyang gestured to Liu Qian with his eyes, wanting her to leave with him.
Finally catching on, Liu Qian also began to sense what Lin Xiaoyue was thinking, but she wasn’t ready to give up on the best way to solve the problem.
"You go on ahead. Since you’ve already treated Mr. Lin, I need to update his medical orders. I’ll come find you when I’m done."
"Alright."
After Chenyang had left, Liu Qian’s voice grew serious. "Miss Lin, may I ask why you’re so hesitant to talk about what happened?"
"I’m sorry, but this involves a lot of people and complicated matters. I can’t tell you right now."
"Isn’t it just what Director Liu said? What else could there be that you can’t talk about?"
Mr. Lin was already displeased. He hadn’t blown up in front of Chenyang, not wanting to make things awkward for everyone. But now that Chenyang was gone and Lin Xiaoyue was still evading the subject, his anger flared up.
"Yuanyuan, if you still consider me your uncle, you’ll tell me exactly what’s going on!"
"Uncle, can I tell you privately later?"
"No! You have to tell me now!"
"Telling you now... it might affect you."
"Affect me?"
As Mr. Lin looked on in surprise, Liu Qian smiled. "You’re worried that if you say something bad about Chenyang, I’ll hold it against Mr. Lin during his treatment because I’m Chenyang’s colleague, right?"
Lin Xiaoyue pressed her lips together without a word, her silence a clear affirmation.
’Liu Qian is my uncle’s attending physician and Chenyang’s boss. If I say something bad about her subordinate right to her face, she’ll surely let her personal feelings affect my uncle’s treatment.’
Liu Qian smiled. "You’re overthinking things. First of all, Chenyang has already healed your uncle for the most part. Even without further treatment, he’ll slowly recover to full health.
Second, Chenyang isn’t a cardiologist. He reports to Liu Yun in the Emergency Department. The only reason he’s here at all is because the hospital confined him here after Lin Jiji framed him.
Finally, and most importantly, we doctors aren’t as unprofessional as you seem to think. We don’t take things out on our patients just because a family member said or did something we don’t like. We do have some professional integrity.
Besides, if Chenyang had any ulterior motives, he could have just not saved your uncle in the first place. The fact that he did save him means he certainly wouldn’t do anything to harm him now."
Mr. Lin nodded. "Yuanyuan, just tell us what’s going on. I trust Director Liu and Doctor Chen."
Lin Xiaoyue hesitated for a moment before speaking. "After the car crash, I was only vaguely conscious, and my memories are just fragments. I don’t really know what happened at the time.
Everything I know about the incident, Lin Jiji told me. And his version of the story is very different from what Director Liu just said."
