Cui Jiangjing really disliked her attitude toward Rong Yan, furrowing his brows and speaking with displeasure, âIâve already said, this matter has nothing to do with Rong Yan. When I say itâs unrelated, itâs unrelated. Why do you keep picking on Rong Yan? Whatâs it for?â
âIââ Shen Siyuan was caught in the act, her lips quivering as her gaze darted away, âIâm just talking about the facts!â
Cui Jiangjing was sharp, and her little schemes were practically written all over her face, how could he not see it. With an icy face and an expressionless tone, he said, âI hope you are just speaking about the facts, because Iâm afraid youâre looking at this with prejudice. No matter what you think, I need to remind you, Rong Yan is the girlfriend recognized by Shengxiao. Since he has acknowledged Rong Yan, no matter what kind of person she is, we should at least show her the basic respect. This is something I hope you understand clearly!â
Shen Siyuan flushed with shame at his words, then protested, âI just disapprove of the things she has done. If she has done something wrong, am I not even allowed to speak up?â
Cui Jiangjingâs eyes were filled with disappointment, seeing that she didnât understand, he had to put it more bluntly, âIf she does something wrong and Shengxiao is willing to indulge her, itâs not your place to manage, nor is it your turn to do so!â
A wave of embarrassment reddened Shen Siyuanâs face, her lips tightly pressed together, showing her defiance.
Cui Jiangjing didnât want to continue arguing about right and wrong late at night. He took off his white coat and said to Fu Yi, âSince Shengxiao has left, Iâll go too. Iâve performed surgeries all day, and my head is pounding; I need to go back and get some sleep.â
âAlright.â
âBye!â He carelessly briefed the medical staff in the ward, waved to Fu Yi, and left promptly.
His departure was swift, not clouding the skies, leaving only Fu Yi to face Shen Siyuan, whose eyes were red with anger, and he sighed helplessly, patting her shoulder, âSiyuan, itâs okay now, itâs nothing.â
Shen Siyuan only felt a bit wronged at first, but his comfort seemed to make her emotions burst forth. Her eyes reddened more than before, she stood stubbornly, clenching her fists and speaking with incomprehension, âI just donât understand, what did I do wrong for him to be so displeased with me. I know, I know I was wrong that time. But I also feel terrible, Iâve liked Brother Shengxiao for so long⦠Itâs perfectly normal for me not to accept him suddenly being with a woman like that, isnât it?â
âIf, if Brother Shengxiao were with someone exceptional who could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with him, I wouldnât be saying these things. But that womanâ¦â Siyuan paused, âXiao, youâve seen it too. Today Brother Shengxiao was bleeding from his stomach, yet she kept clinging to him, not even giving him time for an IV. I just canât stand her!â
Fu Yi seemed somewhat helpless, pressing down on her shoulder, urging her not to get so worked up, and spoke in a calmer voice, âI know what youâre thinking, and I donât think that girl is suitable for Shengxiao either.â
Shen Siyuanâs eyes lit up, she looked up at him, as if she had finally found an ally who understood her.
Unfortunately, the next second, she was disappointed.
âBut Siyuan, just as Jiangjing said earlier, no matter who the person is, she is the one Shengxiao has chosen. We should at least give Miss Rong the basic respect. Thatâs also respecting Shengxiao.â He wasnât as blunt as Cui Jiangjing, his voice was gentle, but his intention was the same, âYou had already made up your mind that Miss Rong was wrong without clarifying the facts, and that itself is a prejudice. As for why you hold such prejudice, you know very well in your heart.â
