Chapter 857: Chapter 850: Too Beautiful
Just after Ming Kai and Qiu Zi left, Mrs. Ming, Ming Kaiās mother, stomped over to the nursesā station in her high heels, "Xiao Hong, where is Ming Kai?"
Xiao Hong, the head nurse on duty today, immediately put on a smile when she saw Mrs. Ming, "Youāre here! Director Ming just left with Dr. Qiu."
"Dr. Qiu?" Mrs. Ming thought for a moment and recalled a sweet-looking young girl, "Is it that new young female doctor?"
"Yes, thatās her!"
"Why did he leave with her?" Mrs. Ming frowned. She didnāt have a good impression of Qiu Zi. To her, it seemed unlikely for a normal girl to work as a doctor in a male urology hospital, dealing with menās genitalia and prostates every day!
Besides, Qiu Zi was quite pretty, and ever since what happened between Bai Yiran and Ming Kai during the matchmaking, Mrs. Ming didnāt like overly attractive women.
Seeing that Mrs. Ming seemed not to be fond of Qiu Zi, Xiao Hong continued, "This isnāt the first time. Itās been like this lately, and Director Ming always asks Dr. Qiu to work overtime. I think thereās something unusual about their relationship!"
Hearing what Xiao Hong said, Mrs. Mingās face immediately darkened as she coldly murmured, "Unusual, is it?"
With a grim face, Mrs. Ming took out her phone and called Ming Kai directly. After two rings, the call was answered, "Son, where are you now?"
"Oh, Mom! Iām taking a colleague to the hospital." Ming Kai replied while keeping an eye on the vehicles ahead.
"Which colleague? A male or female colleague?" Hearing his motherās question, Ming Kai couldnāt help but frown. He was using the carās speakerphone, meaning Qiu Zi could hear everything. He glanced at Qiu Zi, and sure enough, she looked somewhat uncomfortable.
"Alright, Mom, Iām driving, Iāll hang up now!" said Ming Kai as he ended the call.
Seeing that her son actually dared to hang up on her, Mrs. Ming was furious and called back again, holding back her anger.
Ming Kai looked at the caller ID and intended to reject it, but he hesitated since it was his mother. He pulled over to the side of the road, picked up his phone, and answered, "Mom, what do you want?"
"I just asked if it was a male or female colleague. Is there something you canāt say? Or is there some secret between you?"
Ming Kai thought his motherās questions were becoming increasingly absurd and was relieved not to be on speakerphone; otherwise, Qiu Zi would hear everything.
He sighed, "Mom, what do you want from me?"
Seeing her son not say anything, Mrs. Ming was still angry but had no choice and said, "Itās about your fatherās plan to expand the hospital. We arranged lunch tomorrow, followed by an inspection in the afternoon. I spent the whole day running around for this, and I happened to finish and passed by the hospital to find you, but you left! And I heard it was with a female doctor!"

There was a hint of jealousy in Mrs. Mingās words about Qiu Zi.
Ming Kai felt a bit helpless, noticing the urgency on Qiu Ziās face and casually said, "Iām heading home soon. Weāll talk about the investors when I get home. Iām hanging up now!"
This time, Ming Kai turned off his phone and restarted the car before Qiu Zi could open her mouth to get out.
"Am I troubling you? I can actually get off here. Itās not far from the subway station," Qiu Zi said.
"No, itās not a bother. My mom just called to tell me thereās an investor coming to inspect the hospital tomorrow afternoon."
"Oh, I see," Qiu Zi nodded and fell silent.
"I have to have lunch with the investor tomorrow. You should join us," Ming Kai directly invited Qiu Zi.
