So You're Such A Doctor Song - Chapter 264

Chapter 264: Going To Switzerland

Song Chuyi closed his eyes quietly.

Director Yu watched him for a while. “Alright, it’s decided then…”

“I’m not going.” Song Chuyi stood up. “Let someone else have this opportunity. I have a lot of things to do in the department, so I’ll get going.”

Director Yu’s expression changed slightly. He stood up anxiously. “Chuyi, think it through. If you miss this opportunity, you might not get it again.”

Song Chuyi’s footsteps paused at the door. However, he still left without looking back.

Not long after returning to the department, Song Huaisheng called.

Song Chuyi didn’t pick up.

After the morning’s work, it was lunchtime. Song Huaisheng’s car pulled over by the side of the road. When he saw Song Chuyi walking out of the building, Song Huaisheng walked over to him.

“Chuyi, we’re going to go for lunch first.” Upon seeing this situation, his colleagues left after greeting him.

“Why aren’t you going to Switzerland?” Song Huaisheng walked over to him with a long face. “Do you know how many connections and money I expended to get this opportunity?”

Song Chuyi curled his lips. As expected. The hospital had never had such a good opportunity. He knew it was fabricated by his family.

“Get ready to hand over your work here and head over there in the middle of this month,” Song Huaisheng commanded.

“Are you trying to make me keep some distance from the Yan Family by forcing me to go over there?” Song Chuyi asked coldly. “If this was the past or some time in the future, I could go over any time, but not now. I already know what you and my brother are planning. I can’t stop what you want to do, but I won’t leave now because of my conscience.”

“I didn’t make you divorce Yan Changqing,” Song Huaisheng said furiously. “I think that it would do you good to get out for a period of time to calm down. Besides, this is an opportunity. The Song family might not be able to help you get one like this next time. We’re going to acquire the Yan Corporation, and isn’t the price we offered enough for the Yan Family to lead good lives in the future?”

“If it weren’t for my brother’s schemes then, I believe the acquisition of the Yan Corporation could net an even higher price. The Yan Corporation had no choice but to make this decision because they were pushed into a corner by you and the entire family has no clue about it, even thinking that we’re the ones helping them.” Song Chuyi couldn’t bear it anymore. He said as his temples pulsed, “As a father, you even agreed with my brother’s actions. Have you ever considered the feelings of me, as a son, who’s caught in the middle? If the Yan Family found out about this matter, could my marriage still continue? You can treat your marriage as child’s play, but I don’t want to be like you.”

“What are you saying?” Song Huaisheng was so angry his voice was trembling. “Have you been holding a grudge against me and hating me for getting a divorce with your mother? It wasn’t just my fault alone. You don’t even clearly understand what kind of person your mom is.”

“I don’t, but I know it was you who had an extramarital affair first.” Song Chuyi’s eyes reddened. “You married Dai Ai only a few months after your divorce with my mom. I didn’t say anything; I didn’t hate her or make things difficult for her not because I could pretend that nothing had happened but because I didn’t want to see fighting and quarreling in this family again. Now that there’s some improvement in my marriage, you’re going to step in again. Do you think it wouldn’t matter even if your son got a divorce?”

Song Huaisheng’s face was pale from anger. “Fine, fine, fine. I wasn’t a good role model for you as a father. I won’t intervene in your marriage, but you have to go to Switzerland. Talk to Changqing about it—it’s only for half a year. She can also go over frequently to visit you and I will fork out the money for the plane tickets. Won’t that do?”

Song Chuyi only felt frustration after hearing that. “Stop trying to persuade me. Do you think I wouldn’t be able to afford the plane tickets if she wanted to come over to visit me? Would I still need the Song Family to pay for them? I feel like a sinner right now. How would I be in the mood to study? Stop bothering me.”

He wanted to suppress his emotions as much as he could; however, after days of suppressing certain emotions, he finally exploded.

Song Huaisheng’s expression was terrible. “Song Chuyi, you’re too much.”

Song Chuyi couldn’t listen to him anymore. He turned and walked away.

It was around six in the evening. When Changqing returned from the station, she saw Changxin lying on the couch at home, eating and drinking.

“Why are you here again?” Seeing how her sister behaved without any care for her image, Changqing rolled her eyes. She wondered what about her sister attracted Lin Yiqin back then, making him like her so much.

“What do you mean ‘again’?” Changxin sat up. She brushed away her hair on both sides. “I haven’t been back for so long and this is only the second day I’m back, yet you’re already despising me.”

“Who’s despising you?” Changqing grinned as she said, “Aren’t I just thinking about how you and brother-in-law are finally back together again after such a long separation? Don’t you need to make a baby at home? I really want to become an auntie.”

“Marriage really changed you. You’re no longer embarrassed when you talk about this kind of thing.” Changxin made eyes at her and popped a grape into her mouth as she spoke with her mouth filled: “I’ve been married to your brother-in-law for years; we’re already sick of doing it.”

Changqing’s face reddened from her sister’s liberal words. “No way… you’ve only been married for three years and you’re… sick of it?”

Would she also feel sick of it after three years with Song Chuchu?

Changxin raised her brows and inched closer to her with a grin. “Sounds like you two aren’t sick of it yet? You look like you kind of like it eh?”

“I… I don’t.” Changqing’s pretty face was as red as an apple. She couldn’t carry on with the conversation. “Let’s not talk about this. You’re too obscene.”

Changxin found her funny. Changqing was obviously just like her, yet Changqing still had the cheek to say that she was obscene. “Alright, let’s not talk about this. Actually, I heard something when I reported to work at the hospital today. I heard from a colleague that the Hospital Director wanted to send Song Chuyi to a hospital in Switzerland to further his studies.”

“Seriously?” Changqing’s little heart jumped.

“I think it’s true.” Changxin looked at Changqing worriedly. “However, ever since the hospital opened, we’ve never had a person go to Switzerland. Song Chuyi is really lucky. Medical technology in Switzerland is really advanced; it’s the dream destination of almost every medical practitioner. Aye. Have you heard about it from him?”

Changqing shook her head, looking lost.

It meant that very soon, she would have to be separated from Song Chuyi and it wasn’t a typical kind of separation—they would be oceans apart. Even the plane ride would take more than 10 hours.

“Aiya, don’t be like this.” Changxin pulled her arm. “Isn’t it just half a year? It’ll pass in the blink of an eye. Look—didn’t I go to Beijing for three months too? Your brother-in-law is fine.”

“You were in Beijing—it’s just a plane ride of fewer than two hours.” Changqing sighed depressingly. “This time, it’s Switzerland.”

“I think you’d better support him if he wants to go,” Chang Xin said earnestly. “I also study Medicine, and I can really understand that this is a particularly important opportunity. Everyone should work hard for his dream. As his wife, you should support him silently. Moreover, after he returns from Switzerland, his status would leap forward compared to right now. When the time comes, his salary would be different and even his status would be that of a top doctor. As his wife, you would have more money to spend and you could buy whatever you want. How nice would that be?”

Changqing’s heart wavered a little after hearing that.

That means that when the time comes, all I have to do is be a happy little wife?

As his wife, she would be proud to have a capable husband.

However, the moment she thought about the long separation, Changqing was still a little unwilling. Besides, over there in Europe, the women had a way of seducing men. What would happen if Chuchu were to be seduced?

Just as she was thinking about that, Yan Lei had also returned. “Aiyo, both my daughters are at home.”

“Dad, you’re in quite a good mood today,” Changqing said with a smile.

“I had lunch with Chuyi’s dad and brother this afternoon to talk about the acquisition. It’s almost settled.” Yan Lei let out a long sigh. “Although I really cannot bear to let go of the company that I’ve run so painstakingly, perhaps this is the best way out.”

“When are you signing the contract?” Changxin asked.

“Maybe tomorrow. We’ll sign the contract tomorrow.”

The father and daughters chatted for a while and when it was almost seven, Song Chuyi finally returned from work. He greeted everyone listlessly and went upstairs to take a shower.

Changqing thought of the news she heard about from Changxin and she followed him to the bedroom with a heavy heart. “Chuchu, I heard from my sis that your hospital is sending you to Switzerland to further your studies?”

Song Chuyi was walking to the bathroom with his clothes when he heard her say that. He paused and started lightly, “It’s true but I rejected it.”

“Why did you reject it?” Changqing was stunned and asked softly, “Is it… because of me?”

“No, it’s because I’m not skilled enough. If I go over now, I’m afraid I won’t be able to catch up with their medical team. Let’s talk about it in the future.” Song Chuyi closed the bathroom door after finishing his piece.

Changqing stood there, staring blankly at the dark silhouette at the glass door for a while before going downstairs.

She couldn’t really tell whether she was feeling at ease or something else. She somehow felt that the explanation Song Chuchu gave just now was very forced.

Her sister said this would be a dream opportunity for every doctor, yet he actually rejected it?

He likes medicine so much. That shouldn’t be the case.

When she was downstairs, she looked up and realized there was another person in the living room. Fu Yu was dressed in a shirt and sitting on the couch, looking at her with a gentle smile. “Changqing.”

“Brother Fu Yu, what brings you here?” Changqing was very surprised.

“Your Brother Fu Yu had something to say, but when I asked him about it, he said he’ll talk about it later.” Yan Lei smiled.

Changqing watched Fu Yu’s dark pupils and felt an inexplicable sense of unease. She didn’t know what he was going to say.

Because a guest came at the last minute, Auntie Zhang cooked another dish.

It was around 7:10 pm. When Song Chuyi came downstairs with a refreshing scent after his shower, Auntie Zhang was almost done with all the dishes.

When he sat down in the dining room, Fu Yu, who was at the side, had a smirk hanging on his lips as he glanced coldly at Song Chuyi. “Dr. Song, you’re settling in quite well in the Yan Household.”

These words with an underlying meaning shocked everyone. There wasn’t much change on Song Chuyi’s clean face.

Yan Lei smiled. “Fu Yu, do you want a drink?”

Fu Yu waved his hand. “Uncle Yan, actually, I came here today to tell you something. Something that would make one’s hair stand on end.”
