Chapter 297: Considered Friends
Su Qingsang noticed Shi Mengwan’s gaze. She also noticed Chen Feifei’s, who kept looking at Zhan Haoze nervously.
After giving it some thought, she took a step forward and stood before Zhan Haoze, conveniently blocking off half of Shi Mengwan’s line of sight.
“Mr. Zhan, thank you so much for today.”
“You’re being too formal, Mrs. Huo. I am considered to be a friend of Director Huo.” Zhan Haoze’s expression remained neutral, yet Su Qingsang made out a different meaning to his words.
Considered to be friends? Is there such a thing as not being considered friends?
“No matter what, I’d still like to thank you. I’ll also inform Huo Jinyao about this.”
Zhan Haoze nodded, knowing that Su Qingsang appreciated his help. He was satisfied. “Alright. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first.”
“Good day, Mr. Zhan.”
Su Qingsang sent Zhan Haoze off. When she turned around, she realized that Shi Mengwan’s was still looking at that direction.
A few nurses and doctors had come up to ask about Su Qingsang’s injury. Su Qingsang waved them off, reassuring them that she was fine already.
After everybody had gone away, she stood before Shi Mengwan and waved her hand before her friend’s face.
“Mengwan?”
“Qingsang.” Shi Mengwan finally retracted her gaze from the direction in which Zhan Haoze had left.
She averted her eyes in discomfort when she met with Su Qingsang’s knowing gaze, which plainly hinted that she had figured it all out, then quickly picked up the bag she dropped earlier.
“Didn’t you go to a competition? Back already?”
“Mmhmm. Why don’t you take a guess at the competition outcome?” There was a gleeful look in Shi Mengwan’s eyes when she spoke.
Su Qingsang pouted and pondered. “The outcome? Let me guess. You’re the last?”
“You’re terrible.” Shi Mengwan gave her a shove.
“Be gentle, be gentle. I’m an injured patient now.” Su Qingsang pressed against her belly with an agonized look.
“Are you alright? Let me help you back to the office for a rest.”
“Alright. Thank you, Great Designer Shi.”
“Yeah. You should always call me that in the future. I got two prizes this time.”
“Really?”
“Of course. The most creative entry award, plus second place in the finals.”
“That’s not bad.” This was a nation-wide competition, a very respectable one.
Shi Mengwan was still very young. Although she did not get first place, it was already a very impressive feat for her to obtain the second.
“Not bad, right? To celebrate it, I got you a gift.”
“Thanks.” Su Qingsang followed Shi Mengwan back to the office.
Zuo Hongchen, who just finished a surgery, came over in a rush when he heard that Su Qingsang was beaten up.
He had no opportunity to speak more than he should have when he saw that Shi Mengwan was also there. In the end, he just left the two friends with some medications and creams.
“You’re not bad yourself.” Shi Mengwan watched as Zuo Hongchen left with a disappointed look on his face. “You’re already a married woman. How is your market value still so good?”
Shi Mengwan didn’t forget to close the door as she spoke. She motioned for Su Qingsang to open her blouse so that she could help her apply the medicinal cream.
“Pfft, this married woman is also a beautiful married woman,” Su Qingsang spoke mischievously as she semi-reclined on the examination table.
However, when Shi Mengwan touched her belly with her hand, she couldn’t help but yelp. “Aah!”
“Hmm. Dear beautiful married woman, your belly is green. Tsk, tsk. I had no idea that being a doctor was such a high-risk occupation.”
“Well, you know it now,” Su Qingsang watched helplessly as Shi Mengwan helped her rub the medicine in.
She then told her about the incident involving Liu Xiangyu. Shi Mengwan was on the verge of erupting from rage.
“Why would you even bother reasoning with a scumbag like that? You should totally ring up the cops and lock him up.”
“Don’t worry. He’s locked up for at least fifteen days this time.”
Shi Mengwan stopped speaking. She continued to help Su Qingsang with the cream application, then spoke again, acting as if it was done subconsciously.
“Hey, that guy just now — do you know him?”
