Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 663: Chapter 663: Trouble Stirred Up by Arrogance and Insolence

Director Qiao made this trip not only for their Workers’ Hospital’s reputation, but also because he valued talent and didn’t want the fuss caused by Lian Shuzhen to ruin Xiaochu’s reputation.

Though Xiaochu’s medical skills are well-recognized, there are always those with petty minds, and they mustn’t be allowed to exploit this opportunity.

Of course, Deputy County Mayor Gao’s influence is also at play here; only when the matter is thoroughly investigated can they not target Xiaochu, given the couple’s standing. It’s well-known that Deputy County Mayor Gao and his wife treat their niece very well.

Once the situation was clarified, Director Qiao had no intention of staying any longer: ”Since the patient didn’t follow medical advice and that’s why the condition worsened, it’s not Doctor Chu’s fault. That puts my mind at ease—there are still matters at the hospital I need to attend to, I’ll be leaving now.”

Deputy County Mayor Gao didn’t want to remain here and be embarrassed: ”I’ll leave with you all.”

Upon finishing, he turned to his wife: ”Yutong, stay here temporarily to handle the situation. I’ll have someone come to pick you up later.”

Bai Yutong didn’t know what to say; since her husband and her niece contracted the same illness, she’d unofficially distanced herself from her niece. Although she didn’t want to deal with this matter, she couldn’t avoid it: ”Alright.”

Deputy County Mayor Gao saw his wife’s lackluster expression and assumed she was also annoyed with their niece, so he didn’t dwell on it.

With a glance at the ranting Lian Shuzhen, he left together with Director Qiao and the others.

Bai Yutong watched the tractor leave and addressed the quickly arriving village cadre: ”Hurry up and pull them apart.”

The village cadre recognized Bai Yutong, as Lian Shuzhen often bragged about her ties.

Initially, Bai Yutong visited frequently to deliver goods at the request of her sister and brother-in-law to support Lian Shuzhen when she newly arrived at the countryside. The purpose was naturally to give her niece face, so people wouldn’t dare to underestimate her.

If not for considering the Deputy County Mayor’s wife’s position, the village would not permit Lian Shuzhen to take frequent leaves.

Upon hearing the directive, the village cadre promptly organized people to step forward.

Lian Shuzhen, now seeing red, felt furious when the stick was taken from her: ”Give the stick back to me.”

The village women’s committee director, under the signals from other village officials, had no choice but to approach: ”Lian Zhiqing, let’s talk about this properly. If you keep hitting, someone might really get hurt. Then, even if you had reason, you’ll lose it and things will become troublesome.”

Her words weren’t wrong; if she really crippled a few educated youth, even the Deputy County Mayor’s wife wouldn’t be able to protect her. After all, there’s a girl among them with a complex background, though she usually remains low-key.

If something really happened, how could their families not intervene?

When Director Qiao returned to the Workers’ Hospital, he went to see Yunyi first: ”Xiaochu, it’s confirmed that it’s that girl’s usual arrogant demeanor that caused the trouble, so others went through the motions.”

Yunyi’s lips curved: ”Alright, as long as it’s not our responsibility. However, I dare not take on such patients anymore. When they don’t follow medical advice, then turn around to blame us, where could we even plead our case?”

Director Qiao, being experienced, naturally understood what Yunyi meant by that: ”Anyway, the Deputy County Mayor and his wife are aware of the process, I believe they can understand.”

The implication being: Do what makes you happy.

Yunyi nodded, knowingly.

Since she was the one who initiated trouble, let her stew in it—that way she won’t bother flaunting in front of me.
