Chapter 363: Chapter 364: Slap in the Face
Calculating from the time of rebirth, it has only been half a year. In just this short time, Nianyang has already become someone elseâs wife?
Then what should he do? Nianyang is married, and to the Cold Yama no less, which means he doesnât have the right to pursue her. Whatâs the point of his rebirth then?
Li Tingyanâs keen observation made him notice the impure gaze Lu Chi had towards Nianyang. He narrowed his sharp eyes and spoke in a deep voice,
"What, does Dr. Lu have some opinions about my wife?"
Nianyang also found Lu Chiâs reaction strange, as if he knew her very well.
"No, nothing..." Lu Chi pressed his lips together secretly, hiding the jealousy in his eyes, and shook his head disheartened,
"I was just a bit surprised, Nian... Dr. Gu, so young and already married..."
Li Tingyan slightly tightened his arms, his dark pupils deep.
Actually, to be precise, Nianyang hasnât married him yet, but he didnât want to explain this to Lu Chi; he let Lu Chi continue thinking so.
Maybe then he wonât have any designs on his wife. But if Lu Chi dares to do anything stupid, he wonât be polite about it!
At this moment, a commotion came from the entrance, and Xu Zhiyi and her husband, Liang Baoguo, hurriedly walked in.
"President!"
Everyone inside quickly greeted the newcomers.
Bai Xueli walked beside them, her eyes gleaming with excitement, and pointed at Nianyang in Li Tingyanâs arms,
"President, look, itâs her, this little Saozi. She insisted on performing the surgery last night despite Dr. Luâs advice, as if she doesnât care about her own life. Sheâs basically trying to kill our sailor!"
Earlier in the morning, Bai Xueli came to see the situation. She heard Nianyang had been in surgery all night without coming out, believing that the surgery had failed and Nianyang was afraid to face reality. So, she quickly went to Liang Baoguo to complain.
Bai Xueli didnât particularly hate Nianyang, but she couldnât stand others living better than her. Especially after Nianyang refused her request to invest in Nianyangâs family business, she was even more displeased with her.
Xu Zhiyi frowned, "Bai Xueli, watch what you say. You canât make such claims about killing people."
Yesterday, Nianyang performed surgery on Zhou Jiangzhi. There were too many people here, and she couldnât help, so she went straight back.
Who knew that first thing in the morning, Bai Xueli would come and complain to Liang Baoguo, saying that Nianyang was still in the operating room with Zhou Jiangzhi?
Bai Xueliâs exaggerated tone made it seem like something major had happened, so she came over with Liang Baoguo to take a look.
Upon hearing the word "President," Nianyang quickly had Li Tingyan let her down. She mustered up some strength and, along with Li Tingyan, greeted Liang Baoguo.
"Youâre Li Tingyanâs wife." Liang Baoguoâs face was stern, "Is what Yang Saozi just said true?"
Li Tingyan, eager to protect his wife, wanted to step up and defend Nianyang, but Nianyang silently held his hand tightly. She lifted her face, her gaze firm as she looked at Liang Baoguo and said,
"I only performed the surgery because I was confident. I wasnât disregarding a sailorâs life."
"Youâre talking nonsense!" Bai Xueli placed her hands on her hips. At the corner of her eye, she saw Zhou Jiangzhi lying on the surgical gurney and her eyes lit up excitedly,
"President, look, heâs unconscious! Nianyang must have botched the surgery and killed him. Oh, this is truly sinful, you need to discipline her!"
Except for a few who werenât in the know, others looked at Bai Xueli as if she were an idiot. Where did this crazy woman come from, adding drama to herself like this?
"Bai Xueli, what nonsense are you spouting? My husband is perfectly fine; he isnât dead!" Lin Xia snapped back angrily.
"Lin Xia, are you out of your mind? Your husbandâs been killed, and youâre still defending Nianyang. I think you..."
Bai Xueli was about to say more when a weak voice interrupted,
"Iâm not dead yet..."
"Ah, a ghost!"
