To My Dear Mr. Huo

Chapter 529: Don’t Get Angry so Easily

Director Chen and Director Huang quickly stepped up to block the cameras with their bodies.

“Stop filming. Stop filming!” Director Chen grew a little anxious, raising both arms to block the cameras.

That didn’t work, however. At that point, the other doctors and nurses on the scene had all realized what was happening, and they all began to stop the patients and their families from filming the scene.

However, the harder they tried to stop those people, the more excited those people became. More and more people gathered outside the ward.

Su Qingsang stood there, speechless. She took a minute to calm herself down.

She took a deep breath and cooled herself down, telling herself not to get angry easily and not to talk without thinking. She turned to Li Hong, staring straight at Li Hong’s tear-streaked face with a pair of sharp eyes.

“Li Hong, please be honest.” She couldn’t help but feel wrathful. She couldn’t have imagined that Li Hong would do that to her. “Was I here to insult you? Who stitched your wounds back after your suture ruptured? Who did that?”

Her voice wasn’t loud, but the look in her eyes was very fierce.

Li Hong shuddered slightly, seeming like she was scared.

“I was telling the truth! Threatening me won’t change the fact. You were here insulting me!”

“And how exactly did I insult you?” Su Qingsang couldn’t help but step forward and said, “Can you make it clear? You know what happened. Why are you lying now?”

“No, I’m not lying! You are lying! You are!”

Li Hong’s voice was hoarse, and her face was covered in her tears. She looked exactly like a poor, vulnerable woman. “Doctor Su, I’m sorry, I know that I was wrong. Please don’t insult me again. I’ve paid for what I’ve done! I won’t try to fake an accident again, I promise!”

“Li Hong.” Su Qingsang raised her voice slightly and glared at Li Hong with rage.

“Look at her. The doctor is threatening us!”

Lin Gang sprung up, holding Li Hong with both of his hands. While speaking, he raised an arm, pointed at Su Qingsang, and said menacingly, “Look, guys! Look at this person!”

“Look at her... Look at her! She’s a doctor! A doctor is threatening us like this! Have you ever seen anything like this? Have you?”

Su Qingsang clenched her fists. She merely stood there, and although she didn’t rush to say or do anything, she pressed her lips together and tried her best to calm down.

She recalled a Weibo post that she had read before. It said that being a doctor was becoming more and more difficult.

The relationship between doctors and their patients had already been tense, and people often blame their doctors mistakenly.

That was happening to her right now. She was wronged.

On the outside, whispers among the crowd grew louder and louder. Su Qingsang couldn’t stay calm. If the situation continued to worsen, the people, who were incognizant to what truly happened, would probably spread ridiculous stories.

“Li Hong...” Overcome by her frustration, Su Qingsang took another step forward and asked, “Can you please stop talking nonsense? Do you know that...”

“Doctor Su.” Zhou Shaonan glanced at Su Qingsang. The hospital leaders weren’t expecting things to become like that at all.

None of them could have thought that the situation would twist like that.

Within a short time, Zhou Shaonan called security. Together with a few nurses from the gynecology and obstetrics department, the security team managed to make the irrelevant people leave.

It was night time already. Most of the people had left as the problem didn’t seem to be solved. A few curious ones lingered around, looking at the ward from a distance.

At last, Director Chen, Director Huang, Zhou Shaonan, and Sun Huiya returned to the ward together.

They looked at Li Hong and Lin Gang with stern faces.

“Ms. Li, no one else is here now. We just want to know what exactly had happened earlier today. Please calm down and tell us what happened.”

“I’ve told you what happened pretty clearly.” Li Hong’s voice was feeble. “I don’t need to say it again.”

Zhou Shaonan knitted his brows. Li Hong’s reaction made him feel helpless.

“But I think you weren’t being honest.”

“I was honest. She came here to insult me, then my husband went against her to protect me. I didn’t want to displease my doctor, so I tried to stop my husband. That’s how I popped my stitches.”

Li Hong refused to change her words no matter what.

“Ms. Li...” said Director Chen.

“Stop asking me questions!” Li Hong interrupted him and said, “What you people should do now is to punish this doctor, who is not qualified to be one.”

“Mr. Li.” Director Huang couldn’t bear listening to that. The story was obviously not true. The doctors would try everything to save the life of even a murderer, not to mention someone who tried to fake a car accident.

The patient’s private life had nothing to do with the doctors. The job of the doctors was merely saving their lives.

“You said your suture ruptured because of Doctor Su. Can you prove that?”

“Isn’t my wound the best evidence?” Li Hong glared at the group of people and said, “If she didn’t insult me, and if she didn’t conflict against my husband, how would my suture ever rupture?”

“Li Hong, you know that it was because your husband attempted to attack me.”

Su Qingsang couldn’t help but defend herself.

Li Hong looked at her with confusion and asked, “Why would my husband attack you?”

“Because of the surgery that I gave you. I removed your uterus, but your husband and his family wanted you to have a son.”

“Who said that?” Lin Gang glared at Su Qingsang and said, “I love my baby girl so much! You see, I don’t even want the nurses to look after her. I brought her here to look after her myself.”

Su Qingsang wanted to say something else, but Sun Huiya held her arm and stopped her.

Lin Gang noticed Sun Huiya’s movement, which made him think that he had gained the upper hand. A smile crept upon his face.

“I’m telling you, I’m going to the Sanitary Bureau to complain about you people!”

Lin Gang sounded very confident at the moment. He pointed at Su Qingsang and continued, “Especially you! I swear I’ll get you suspended!”

“Mr. Lin, please mind your behavior. This is the hospital, not somewhere for you to make a scene.”

Sun Huiya knitted her brows. The shameless and unreasonable man had given her a headache.

“Am I making a scene? I’m simply stating the truth.”

Lin Gang was brimming with confidence at the moment. He looked straight at Su Qingsang in a provoking manner.

“A quack like you should die.”

Su Qingsang couldn’t bear listening to that. However, before she could do anything, Sui Huiya dragged her outside.

“Director Sun, let me go, I...”

Sun Huiya was strong. She pulled Su Qingsang back to her office.

“Alright.” she pressed Su Qingsang down on her chair, then said to her with a firm voice, “Stay here, and leave the rest to us.”

“Director Sun...”

“Haven’t you realized that the longer you stay, the worse it’ll become? I believe you’ve noticed that. They are targeting you on purpose.”

Su Qingsang fell completely silent. What happened today was indeed her fault. She underestimated how shameless people could be.

She thought Li Hong was honestly thankful to her. After all, she said all those grateful words to her earlier that day and even protected her.

She didn’t think of the fact that Li Hong and Lin Gang were a couple after all. They were a family.

She didn’t care why Li Hong chose to become her enemy. All she wanted at the moment was to solve the problem correctly.

She had a feeling that this would be much more difficult than what happened in Lin City.

“I didn’t lie, Director Sun.”

Su Qingsang wasn’t expecting the other people to believe her, but she wished that her colleagues from her department could believe what she said.

“Director Sun, please believe me. I...”

“Alright.” Sun Huiya patted her shoulder and calmly replied, “You don’t need to explain. We all believe you.”

Su Qingsang had only worked in the hospital for a short time, but Sun Huiya believed in her morality.

“You’re just unlucky this time. Go home and take some rest. Let’s see how the hospital will solve this.”

That was the only thing she could do now, no matter how worried she was.

She took off her white coat. Before leaving, she spent some time reading the comments on Weibo.

Earlier, the article was reposted thousands of times with about ten-thousand comments, but at that moment, it had already been reposted tens of thousands of times with hundreds of thousands of comments beneath the post.

It was exactly like what happened last time. It happened last time in Lin City, and now it’s happening again in Rong City.

Su Qingsang rubbed her temples, reading those comments which were verbally attacking her.

Why did something like that always happen to her? What did she do wrong? All she wanted was to be a doctor, a good doctor.

She got choked up slightly, but she quickly adjusted herself and made that feeling go away.

She refused to believe that she would always be so hapless.

...

Huo Jinyao didn’t know what happened until he got off work.

The problem caused by Qiao Hong hadn’t been solved completely yet, but Huo Yifan was already getting impatient.

He acted as if he was going to become the new president for sure.

Huo Jinyao had started to become curious about how Huo Mingguang, who had been pretending not to know what was happening, would deal with the current situation.

He told Yang Wenchang what to do, and then listed the suspicious facts about Qiao Hong again.

Even Su Qingsang could think of some of those things. He, of course, wouldn’t miss any of them. Something was wrong with Qiao Hong, and that ‘something’ was a serious matter.

After finishing all his work, he prepared to leave. Ding Qing came in at that time.

“President Huo.”

“Miss Ding, what’s the matter?”

Huo Jinyao believed Ding Qing’s explanation, so he was no longer as cold to her as he was yesterday.

“President Huo, I think Mrs. Huo is probably in trouble.”

“What?”

“President Huo, look.”

Ding Qing handed her phone to Huo Jinyao while speaking, “It popped out on my phone just now. I read it and found Mrs. Huo’s pictures in it.”

Huo Jinyao remained silent. He read the two posts which had already been reposted tens of thousands of times and recalled what happened in Lin City.

That time, Su Qingsang was in that kind of trouble because of Su Peizhen. More importantly, Li Qianxue was helping Su Peizhen.

However, Su Peizhen wasn’t in Rong City, and Li Qianxue no longer hated Su Qingsang.

“President Huo?” Yang Wenchang had read the posts too. He didn’t look happy either.

“Tell the PR to pull this out of the hot search list, by any means.”

“Also, delete the posts.”

“President Huo, deleting the posts won’t help now. This has become big news...”

“Yeah, it has become such big news. Is it real?”

“Both you and I know it’s not real. Since it’s not real, why can’t we make it disappear? Eh?”

Yang Wenchang nodded, immediately figuring out what Huo Jinyao meant. “I get it, President Huo,” he said, “I’ll deal with it as soon as I can.”

“Solve this problem, as soon as possible.”

“I understand.”

Yang Wenchang nodded. However, something else crossed his mind. “President Huo,” he said, “We can delete the Weibo posts and resolve the issue, but the patient and her family...”

“Go and talk to them, and find out what happened.”

Huo Jinyao was curious about who did that to Su Qingsang.

He figured that Su Qingsang must be in a bad mood at the moment, given that something like that had happened. Thinking about that, he couldn’t sit still in the office for one more minute.

He left very quickly. Before leaving, he said to Yang Wenchang, “If anything else happens, let me know as soon as you can. I have to go now.”

Yang Wenchang knew that he was in a rush to go home and comfort Su Qingsang. After Huo Jinyao left, he started doing what the former had asked him to do.

Only Ding Qing was left in the office. He was holding the phone, which showed the Weibo posts. A new post popped up within a short time.

Under the two original posts, one of their patients’ family made a new post, saying that Su Qingsang had gone to the ward to insult her patient.

“It’s such great news.”

Sadly, she couldn’t see Su Qingsang’s face at the moment. She could imagine how fascinating the look on her face could be at the moment. Ding Qing almost wanted to give the two posts a thumbs-up.

At last, she took a screenshot of the posts and sent the picture to someone, along with the line: ‘Huo Jinyao is deleting the Weibo posts and suppressing the public opinion.”

After sending out that picture, she conveniently tidied up Huo Jinyao’s office.

There was a framed picture on Huo Jinyao’s desk. In the picture, Huo Jinyao and Su Qingsang were leaning on each other. They weren’t smiling, but the picture looked very nice.

Ding Qing knocked on the picture gently with her fingers. At that moment, her phone rang. She picked it up and read the new message, which caused her to grin widely

She couldn’t wait to see what would happen next.

She landed her eyes on the picture of Huo Jinyao and Su Qingsang, murmuring with an eerie smile, “President Huo, I’m really curious about what you’re gonna do next.”

...

Huo Jinyao went home and found that Su Qingsang wasn’t in the living room.

He went to the bedroom, but she wasn’t there either. He knitted his brows and decided to call Su Qingsang, but the call wasn’t answered.

Ms. Yu had dinner prepared. She greeted Huo Jinyao as the latter came home, “Hey, Mr. Huo, good to have you back. The dinner is almost ready.”

“Ms. Yu, do you know where Qingsang is?”

“Mrs. Huo? Is she not at home yet?”

Huo Jinyao began to worry about Su Qingsang. What did that mean? Was she still in the hospital?

Fortunately, he had Sun Huiya’s number. He called Sun Huiya and asked her if Su Qingsang was still at the hospital.

“Mr. Huo?” Sun Huiya had met Huo Jinyao twice and had a very good impression of him. “I told her to go home. Is she not at home yet? I think she left not long ago. She’s probably driving, so she didn’t answer your call. Maybe you should wait a little longer.”

“Alright, I get it.” Huo Jinyao could only hope she was fine, but he suddenly had another thing crossing his mind. “Director Sun, can I ask you a question?”

“Sure.”

“How will Qingsang be punished? Can you tell me about it now?”

“Don’t say that. The hospital hasn’t made the decision yet. We have to find out what exactly happened first, right?”

“Alright, I understand. Thank you, Director Sun.”

Huo Jinyao ended the call. Su Qingsang might not arrive home so soon, so all he could do was to wait.

One hour later, Su Qingsang still didn’t come home.

Two hours later, still no sign of her.

...

It wasn’t because Su Qingsang didn’t want to go home. She just didn’t want to go home with all her negative emotions.

She didn’t understand what was wrong, and why something like that always happened to her.

Was it because of her bad luck? Was it because the patient and her family were awful?

She wanted to tell Huo Jinyao what happened, but what could she do after that?

She knew that Huo Jinyao had been working around the clock recently.

Why would she bother him with such a small thing? Besides, would people believe her even after Huo Jinyao did something to make Li Hong change her words?

Li Hong changed her words, completely switching within such a short time. She might do that again. She might tell people that she was threatened to change her words.

Su Qingsang unwittingly drove to the house that Li Qianxue bought her. She didn’t know how she drove there.

It was pitch-black in the house. It had been cleaned regularly, but as no one lived there, no warmth could be felt.

She didn’t go into the house, but she put down the back of the car seat and laid there.

She didn’t know how long she spent lying there. When she wanted to leave, she picked up her phone to look at the time and found over ten missed calls.

Most of them were from Huo Jinyao. She spent a few seconds looking at the picture of Huo Jinyao on her phone. At last, she called him back.

“Darling, are you still not at home?”

“No.”

Su Qingsang didn’t want to lie, especially not to Huo Jinyao.

“Where are you? Are you lost? Do you need me to come to pick you up?”

“No, I’ll be home in a minute.” Su Qingsang finally realized that she had spent about two hours lying in the car.

“Come home then. Ms. Yu has prepared dinner.”

Huo Jinyao didn’t ask any questions on the phone. Su Qingsang smiled and said, “I’ll be home soon. Eat without me if you’re hungry.”

“I’ll wait for you.”

“Alright.”

Su Qingsang ended the call and then checked the other missed calls. Those were from Sun Huiya.

She pondered for a moment and then called her back.

Sun Huiya told her that no matter what Zhou Shaonan and Director Chen said, Li Hong insisted that Su Qingsang had insulted her.

Things had come to a deadlock. The hospital leaders were surely willing to believe in Su Qingsang’s morals, but as the situation had come to that...

“So, I’m getting suspended for inspection, right?”
