Chapter 751 Lose His Job

Hearing her name, Mu Chenyan turned her head, and then she paused. She didn't expect to see people when she was just minding her own business. Although she had no bad blood with these people, if she could, she'd still like to not see them ever again.

"It's really you," said the woman who called her. The woman was none other than, Mrs. Gu whom Xiang Wai and Xiang Weimin met at the Song family banquet. But right now, she looked excited and a little uncomfortable at seeing Mu Chenyan.

Mu Chenyan looked at Mrs. Gu whose name was Gong Quibai. Once upon a time, she used to call her Xiao Bai very intimately. But today, Mu Chenyan greeted her, "Hello, Mrs. Gu! Didn't expect to see you here." Seeing the white coat that Gong Quibai wore, Mu Chenyan changed her words, "Or, I should call you, Dr. Gu?"

It wasn't surprising that Gong Quibai was working as a doctor. After all, they all went to the same medical college back then. Just because Mu Chenyan was the oddball who didn't continue her studies, didn't mean others won't work hard to achieve their dreams. But Mu Chenyan didn't expect her luck to be so bad that Gong Quibai was actually working at this hospital.

Gong Quibai couldn't seem to find words for a moment when she heard how distant Mu Chenyan sounded right now. It reminded her of what Song Xin'ai told her at the banquet that Mu Chenyan knew everything. So, even if Gong Quibai pretended to be innocent, she couldn't do so in front of Mu Chenyan.

"What are you doing here?" asked Gong Quibai trying to suppress her unease.

"Visiting a patient," replied Mu Chenyan plainly. She had no reason to hide it at all.

"Oh," responded Gong Quibai. "Why don't you tell me which room the patient is in? I'll talk to the attending doctor and..." She went on and on but Mu Chenyan mostly didn't pay attention. Why did she need anyone else's help?

She could see that Gong Quibai sincerely wanted to do something for her right now. Probably, her guilty conscience had been bothering her for years. So, she thought doing something for Mu Chenyan might help her.

But Mu Chenyan didn't care. Although Mu Chenyan wasn't a doctor, she believed she still had more say in this hospital than Gong Quibai. After all, the hospital belonged to the Gou family which was Mu Chenyan's mother's family. In other words, it was also Mu Chenyan's family no matter how she ran from them.

"You don't have to," replied Mu Chenyan calmly. "Don't worry. I don't need help."

She really wanted to leave but Gong Quibai didn't seem to get the hint. Or maybe she did, she just didn't care.

"Are you still upset?" asked Gong Quibai. "I... I can explain."

Mu Chenyan gave her signature smirk that Gong Quibai was very familiar with. After all, when they met at the freshmen party, Mu Chenyan was wearing the same playful smirk and looked more like a hooligan than a medical student. But even so, she was still the center of attention.

Gong Quibai was actually startled as Mu Chenyan's image today overlapped in her mind with the time they met for the first time. The most startling thing was that Mu Chenyan looked exactly like she did back then. Yes, her features were more mature now and she gave off a noble air but the rest was the same. For a moment, it was hard for her to believe that decades had gone by since then.

"I don't know what you're talking about," said Mu Chenyan. "But I can assure you, I'm not upset. Not at all."

Gong Quibai licked her lips and suggested, "Then how about we find a place to sit down and catch up."

"I don't think you and I have anything to catch up on," replied Mu Chenyan.

"Quibai!"

They both heard a voice and looked over. The man came over, panting. "I'm sorry. The surgery took a while. Now, I'm free. Let's have lunch." Noticing there was someone else standing beside his wife, the man shifted his eyes and was stunned, "Chenyan."

"Hello, Gu Ye! We meet again," said Mu Chenyan with a big smile on her face.

"What a surprise!" said Gu Ye once he came back to himself. "What are you doing here?"

"Visiting a patient," Mu Chenyan's reply to him was exactly the same.

"Oh, is it your family? Is everything okay? Can I help?" asked Gu Ye immediately following in the same track as his wife did earlier.

Mu Chenyan almost laughed out loud at that, "You both are really a good match. Even your thinking is exactly the same. But as I told your wife, I don't need help. I think I can manage."

"I know you're a capable person," said Gu Ye seriously. "But there is no harm in asking for help. Especially between friends."

"Friends..." repeated Mu Chenyan with a meaningful tone. Shaking her head, she said, "If it came to the point I need your help, I'll definitely ask."

She felt her phone vibrating and took it out to see the text message from her Uncle.

[Uncle Dongdong: Do you have time to see your poor uncle?]

Mu Chenyan rolled her eyes before replying, [Poor? Uncle, don't try to sell this pitiful act. It won't work on me.]

[Uncle Dongdong: Right, our Chenyan was never a compassionate person. Anyway, come to see me.]

Mu Chenyan sighed, [Not coming. Very busy.]

Someone suddenly grabbed her shoulder from behind and then she heard that same aged voice of her uncle, "I say, you kiddo, what are you busy with? Standing in the same hospital, you aren't coming to see me? Can you stop being so unruly?"

Mu Chenyan rubbed her nose, "If I stopped being unruly, your physician will lose his job."

"Huh?" Professor Gou frowned in confusion when he heard that.

"I mean if I won't make your blood pressure shoot, your physician is bound to lose his job, no?"
