Chapter 174: Chapter 175: Love Rivals Meet (1)
Hearing that Doctor Ni had arrived, everyone quickly made room in the middle of the path.
Nianyang instinctively looked up and saw a woman in a big white coat, with neat short hair, estimated to be about 1.7 meters tall, exuding a heroic demeanor, hurriedly approaching with several medical staff.
"So sheâs the famous Doctor Ni, she looks pretty good!"
"I heard Doctor Ni graduated from the First Medical University; her medical skills are excellent!"
"Thatâs right, itâs said that her family owns a hospital that caters to the docks, and all the Sea Merchant bosses treat her with great respect!"
Some gossiping men around murmured, their words of admiration for Doctor Ni making Ni Jia herself feel a sense of pride.
"Sheng Feng, didnât you say Tingyan was injured? Where is he?!"
Ni Jia lifted her exquisite oval face, her slender phoenix eyes slightly raised, arrogantly ordering Sheng Feng beside her.
Nianyang noticed the infatuation that flashed in Ni Jiaâs eyes when she mentioned Tingyanâs name, this woman definitely liked her man!
"Doctor Ni, the boss is upstairs in the emergency room, Iâll take you there right away."
Sheng Feng nodded and bowed to Ni Jia, not because he was flattering her, but because Ni Jia had saved his life before, and he secretly pledged to be completely obedient to her.
Ni Jia nodded and was about to move forward when, out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Nianyangâs stunning face, and a cold vigilance shot up in her eyes.
Sometimes a womanâs sixth sense is terrifyingly accurate; the moment she saw Nianyang, Ni Jiaâs intuition told her this womanâs aura didnât match hers.
"Who is this woman?" Ni Jia pointed disdainfully at Nianyang, feeling an urge to destroy because the other was too beautiful, speaking harshly,
"Are the guards here blind? This is the docks, not a place where just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can sneak in!"
Ni Jiaâs words were so offensive that those around who originally had a good impression of her suddenly felt like they had swallowed a fly, Xiao Wu coldly and solemnly spoke,
"Doctor Ni, please watch your own manners. Firstly, everyone is very responsible and shouldnât be demeaned by anyone. Secondly, she is Mr. Liâs wife, not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry as you put it!"
"What did you say? Sheâs Tingyanâs wife? Thatâs impossible!"
Ni Jia, greatly shocked, took a step backward. Since she started working at the docks, she had liked Li Tingyan, pursuing him for so long and had not even heard of him having a wife, let alone a female friend, for that matter!
"Doctor Ni, right? I think itâs better to follow protocol and call him General Manager Li."
Listening to another woman call her man so intimately made Nianyang extremely nauseous.
Ni Jia was taken aback.
Nianyang ignored her and was about to enter the medical building.
"Wait, this is a medical area; what is an outsider like you going in for?" Ni Jia reacted upon seeing Nianyang going upstairs and hurriedly blocked her impolitely.
"Iâm also a doctor, I can handle Ah Yanâs injury, thereâs no need for you to trouble yourself, Doctor Ni."
Ni Jia felt extremely uncomfortable hearing her call Li Tingyan "Ah Yan", and directly put on a cold face, "You say you are a doctor, so youâre a doctor? Do you have a license to prove it? Can you measure up to a professional doctor like me who graduated from the First Medical University? Youâre not just a half-baked rogue pretending here, are you? Hurry up and get out of the way, you canât afford to delay Tingyanâs condition!"
