Chapter 105

"I meddled in other people's business once; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

"Yes, we'll send your hospital a banner later as a small token of our appreciation," her husband said gratefully.

Gu Yinxing quickly waved her hand and said, "No need, you're too kind. This is just our duty, and we should thank you for not holding it against us."

"We're not confused. There are bound to be some charlatans in any place, but there are far more good people, like your hospital leaders and you."

He Xiaowen said with a smile.

Director Yuan exchanged a few pleasantries with them, and his gaze toward Gu Yinxing grew increasingly appreciative.

With such a major incident occurring at the hospital, the leaders certainly cannot sit idly by.

When Gu Yinxing got home, she couldn't help but mutter, "I'll have to work overtime to tutor again this time."

He Chunlian set some vegetables for her and asked, "Working overtime again?"

"Yes, there's no other way." Gu Yinxing shook her head and said, "We can't be separated at the hospital. If someone knows it, they don't need to go to class. We're all together. I'll just treat it as a review."

"Our Yin Xing is really responsible." Liang Ying smiled as she poured rice for Gu Yinxing. "We really owe you a lot today. Otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble would have happened. She finally got pregnant, how could you be so blind as to diagnose it as a tumor? It's good that you're suspended. If you continued to be a doctor, the next time you misread a prescription, without your help, it could have been a matter of life and death."

Gu Yinxing blushed, somewhat embarrassed. "I'm not that great, it's just that Sun Youpeng is such a troublemaker. You all don't know, when we were studying, he was flirting with that nurse and the new female doctor. I always thought that if he didn't pay attention in class, something bad would definitely happen, and I was right. But this time, since he and Song Mei were suspended, some rumors have started circulating in our hospital that aren't very nice."

"What did you say?" Gu Yousi asked curiously, looking up at the table.

Gu Yinxing tapped her head, "Children shouldn't listen to that; it's not good advice."

Gu Yousi was speechless. "Auntie, I could guess even if you didn't say it. You're just saying their relationship is ambiguous, aren't you?"

Gu Yinxing was stunned, staring wide-eyed at Gu Yousi, "How do you, a little girl, know these things?"

Gu Yousi shook her head. "Auntie, what era are we living in? There's everything in books and on TV. It's all the same stuff between men and women. Ugh, so boring. You guys eat, I'm going to do my homework."

She picked up her rice bowl, went straight into the kitchen, put the bowl and chopsticks in the sink, and then turned and left.

Gu Yinxing stared in disbelief, biting her chopsticks as she said, "Mom, sister-in-law, kids these days are amazing! They know so much at such a young age."

"She's much smarter than you," He Chunlian said smugly. "But hurry up and get to the point. Let's get back to what happened earlier while the child isn't here."

Gu Yinxing rolled her eyes. "Niuniu, let's not talk about it anymore. It's about that matter. Sun Youpeng usually likes to flirt with his female colleagues at the hospital, and a lot of people don't like him. But he's single, so there's not much we can say about him. But Song Mei is married. A lot of people in our hospital know her husband. We can't let this get back to her in-laws, or we'll really have something to see."

Liang Ying whispered, glancing behind her as she spoke, afraid her daughter might suddenly appear, "Does Song Mei really have an affair with that Doctor Sun?"

Gu Yinxing thought for a moment, then shook her head. "I think it's probably just holding hands. There's no certainty if anything happens, but nobody else thinks that way right now."

Gu Yinxing knew that Zhao Donglai was no good, and she felt some sympathy for Song Mei, but sometimes she really couldn't understand what Song Mei was doing.

If she really can't accept Zhao Donglai, then she could adopt a child and live a peaceful life together. The Zhao Family is really well-off, and she could live a better life than most people. But if she can't accept him, then she should just break up the relationship. She's still young and has a stable job, so finding someone with decent conditions wouldn't be difficult.

In recent years, there have been many divorces in Beijing. In the past, people might have thought you were crazy if they heard you were divorced, but now it's not unusual for anyone to get divorced.

But she refused this and that, yet she was arguing and pulling at a single man...

The more Gu Yinxing thought about it, the more confused she felt, so she simply stopped thinking about it.

After she finished eating and was about to go back, Liang Ying gave her two jars of meat sauce. "This is the meat sauce you asked for earlier. Auntie Guan made a few jars, and I got two for you. Put them in the freezer when you get back. It's going to be cold outside these next few days, and they might freeze if you leave them outside."

"Sister-in-law is so kind!" Gu Yinxing happily accepted the meat sauce, waved, and said, "Mom, sister-in-law, I'm leaving now. I won't be coming over tomorrow."

"What, is something wrong tomorrow?" He Chunlian asked as she cleared away the dishes.

Gu Yinxing smiled and said, "I'm going to Grandpa Yan Ren's house. I heard they have relatives coming tomorrow, and the two elders want me to meet them."

"You have to go, remember to be sweet-talking when you go."

He Chunlian nodded.

Gu Yinxing made a face, turned around and ran out.

He Chunlian was speechless and said to Liang Ying, "At this age, she's still not as mature as our Niuniu."

Liang Ying smiled and said, "Mom, that's how Yin Xing treats you. No matter how old you are, you're still a child in your mother's eyes."

He Chunlian couldn't help but laugh. She thought for a moment and said, "Oh dear, I really can't imagine what she'd be like as a mother. Oh well, Yan Ren Yan Ren her anyway."

Yan Ren Gu Yinxing was no ordinary indulgence.

Gu Yinxing is a picky eater and doesn't like eating the same thing all the time, so she has to change up the dishes every few days.

This morning's breakfast was spaghetti with tomato and meat sauce. After finishing the meal, Gu Yinxing woke Gu Yinxing Yan Ren. The two ate breakfast, packed some fruit and snacks, and then went to see the two elders.

Gu Yinxing didn't bring any meat sauce. Grandpa was diagnosed with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar a few days ago. The doctor advised him to eat a light diet, but the Old Master had been used to eating rich and oily foods all his life, so he was extremely unwilling to suddenly eat a light diet.

To accommodate him, we haven't even bought lean meat for the past few days.

When they arrived at the place, before Gu Yinxing even entered the house, she could hear Liu Yulan's silvery laughter coming from inside the courtyard.

Gu Yinxing immediately exchanged a glance with Yan Ren, their eyes conveying the same message: Had this family come again?

The thing Gu Yinxing hated most about visiting Yan Ren 'Grandpa was constantly running into Liu Yulan and the others.

However, she is indeed the legitimate daughter-in-law of the two elders in name, and Yan Chengzhi and his wife are also the grandson and granddaughter-in-law of the two elders.

They lived close to the elderly couple, so Gu Yinxing and Yan Ren couldn't very well refuse to let them come.

Yan Ren held Gu Yinxing's hand and said in a low voice, "If you don't want to see them, let's go for a walk first, and then come back later."

"What if they don't leave?" Gu Yinxing countered, then laughed, "We don't have anything to hide from others, why should we hide? Come on, let's join in the fun."

On the other side.

Liang Ying had just arrived at the Liang Residence when Guan Daya came over. "Sister Liang, we're almost out of fabric. The fabric cutting department said we need to replenish it quickly."

Liang Ying said, "Alright, I'll go to the factory to place an order today. You keep an eye on things here for now."

Guan Daya was promoted to a small team leader to manage the people from the original garment factory. Although she made some oversights, with her mother-in-law's help, she didn't make any mistakes.

"Okay, you can go ahead."

Guan Daya said, "I checked the goods this morning, and we're still short over four thousand pieces. We'll need to replenish at least a hundred bolts of cloth."

"So many?" Liang Ying was somewhat surprised.

She misjudged the situation; she had previously thought she had enough fabric, but now it seemed like a drop in the ocean.

Fortunately, the Textile Factory wasn't far away, so Liang Ying wasn't too worried. She went to the bank to get the money and then headed straight for the Textile Factory.

To place an order with the Textile Factory, you need to contact the Sales Department.

Liang Ying hadn't had much contact with the Sales Department before, but they had worked in the same factory for so many years, so there was some friendship between them.

Last time she came, she was immediately asked to take the goods away, but this time when Liang Ying came, she was stopped outside the reception room.

A colleague from the Sales Department poured her a cup of tea. "Liang Ying, please wait a moment. Our manager is busy."

Liang Ying agreed and sat down with her teacup.

She took a sip of tea, her eyes sweeping across the office window. She saw a figure flash by inside; from behind, it looked like a female colleague in a factory uniform.

The figure seemed somewhat familiar. Liang Ying frowned slightly, but before she could take a closer look, the window inside was slammed shut.

The female colleague sitting by the window turned her head shyly and smiled at her, then quickly lowered her head again.

A look of doubt flashed across Liang Ying's eyes.

"Grandpa and Grandma, we're here."

As soon as Gu Yinxing entered the entryway, before she had even changed her shoes, she greeted everyone loudly.

Liu Yulan, who was chatting and laughing in the living room, suddenly froze. Grandma Yan chuckled and said to He Xiaowen was sitting on the opposite sofa, "It must be my granddaughter-in-law. That child is so lively."

"Grandma, if you praise her any more, she'll get completely carried away."

Yan Ren came in carrying a fruit basket and greeted He Xiaowen and the others sitting opposite him, "Cousin, cousin-in-law."

Gu Yinxing walked over with a smile, but when she glanced at He Xiaowen and her husband, she paused, surprised, and said, "You two..."

"Yin Xing, this is my cousin Yan Wang and his wife He Xiaowen."

Yan Ren explained.

He Xiaowen laughed and said, "We know Yin Xing. I never expected we were so destined to be relatives."

"Oh dear, what's going on? Have you met before?"

Grandma Yan looked around curiously and asked.

He Xiaowen then recounted what happened at the hospital, and then smiled as she patted her belly, saying, "Thanks to Yin Xing for being responsible and taking care of us, otherwise that quack doctor would have really killed us."

"Yes, I never imagined you were Yan Ren's wife. Well done, Yan Ren, you've found a good wife," Yan Wang praised.

Upon hearing about this story, Grandpa Grandma Yan were both surprised and proud of Gu Yinxing.

"Yin Xing did a great job! Doctors are here to treat and save lives, so they should be careful and meticulous in their work," Grandpa Yan praised.

Gu Yinxing blushed slightly at the praise, "Please stop praising me, or I'll really get carried away, just like Yan Ren said."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Liu Yulan and her family, listening nearby, couldn't help but grit their teeth in anger.

Liu Yulan, in particular, was filled with hatred. She had long heard that Yan Wang's wife came from a very powerful family. Now that the two of them had been promoted to Beijing and were in lucrative positions, she thought she should come here early to establish a connection with them so that she could ask them for help with her son and daughter-in-law's jobs in the future.

But to everyone's surprise, Gu Yinxing and her group stole the spotlight when they arrived.

Liu Yulan quickly changed the subject, saying, "This doctor is so irresponsible, Xiaowen. You've only been two months, you need to rest properly. We have some top-quality bird's nest where we live; I'll send it to you later."

He Xiaowen smiled and politely declined, saying, "Auntie, there's really no need to be so polite. We've already asked the doctor, and they said not to overdo it with tonics in the first few months, and that I should just eat and drink normally. Besides, we live at our workplace, and we don't have anywhere to cook this right now."

"Oh, what's so difficult about that? Our two families are relatives, and since you're pregnant, as your aunt, I'll definitely take good care of you. How about this, I'll stew some bird's nest and send it to you every few days."

Liu Yulan said very solicitously.

She didn't even notice that Grandpa Yan had glanced at her several times, his expression somewhat displeased.

Li Yun chimed in, "Yes, my mom is an expert at stewing bird's nest, sister-in-law, please don't be shy."

Seeing He Xiaowen's predicament, Gu Yinxing smiled and said, "Auntie, you're so kind. However, it's really not good to supplement your diet in the first few months, let alone bird's nest. Pregnant women shouldn't eat too much of it at this time. Sister-in-law, I see this is your first pregnancy, right? How about I go and talk to you about what you should pay attention to during pregnancy?"

"Okay, okay."

He Xiaowen felt like she had escaped to a safe haven. She said to Yan Wang, "You guys talk over here, I'll have Yin Xing teach me a lesson."

Gu Yinxing couldn't help but chuckle, "Sister-in-law, I'll have to charge for these lessons, so you'll have to give me a little something in return."
