So You're Such A Doctor Song - Chapter 58

Chapter 58: Can I Look For You?

Changqing hesitated for a while, uncertain if she should visit Guan Ying.

News of Guan Ying came through her phone first instead: “Changqing, I have some business and I have to leave first. I’ll get in touch with you later.”

In other words, she was implying that Changqing need not look for her at the moment.

Changqing had mixed feelings. Could it be that Guan Ying was afraid she would disturb her time with Song Chuyi?

However, with her in this state, what should Brother Fu Yu do? What should she do?

She returned to her ward listlessly. Changqing washed the strawberries clean and placed them in front of Shen Lu, asking, “Auntie, why did Guan Ying leave just like that?”

Shen Lu chose a red strawberry before replying earnestly, “Changqing, actually, Auntie doesn’t like this Guan Ying.”

Changqing was startled and felt uneasy.

Shen Lu smiled gently. “Auntie knows your character. You’re attached to your friends and you’ll definitely be unhappy if I said this about your friend. However, Changqing, not every friend is as generous as you in their treatment of others. Guan Ying is different from you—she’s goal-oriented and ambitious. Such people can become very scary in order to reach their goals. I shouldn’t be telling you all this. After all, you wouldn’t be pleased, but Auntie is doing this for your own good and also because I really love you dearly like my own daughter, so I just want to remind you that you should be aware who you’re devoting yourself to.”

Changqing frowned, pondering for a while before answering, “Auntie, I know all these things you’re telling me. Guan Ying is indeed different from me, but every person has their own goals. As for friends, as long as she’s true to me and has never harmed me, that’s enough.”

She admitted she wasn’t fond of some of Guan Ying’s actions, but this couldn’t erase their years of friendship.

“Auntie, everyone has a good side and a bad side, just like Brother Fu Yu. He cannot possibly be pure and innocent in business, but he treats you well and is your kin. Isn’t that enough to satisfy you?”

Shen Lu was speechless for a moment, letting out a helpless, bitter laugh.

Shen Lu wanted to say this child was pure, but she was actually fully aware. Shen Lu was only worried Guan Ying might bring harm to her.

After leaving the hospital, Changqing drove alone along the road, not wanting to go back.

Although she spoke to Shen Lu with her head held high, it was still inevitable for her to feel down.

She phoned Ruan Yang after thinking for a bit. “Are you busy?”

“I’m at home.” Exhaustion was hidden in Ruan Yang’s voice.

“Really?” Changqing lit up. “Can I go to see you?”

“Sure, go ahead. Oh right, bring me some hot and spicy soup—I’m craving it.” Ruan Yang sounded as if she was about to drool.

“Sure, sure.”

Changqing bought Ruan Yang’s favourite hot and spicy soup and went to her apartment. Ruan Yang just showered and she invited Changqing in with her hair dishevelled and sloppy appearance.

Changqing pouted. “Heaven is unfair—you’re still so pretty despite looking so terrible.”

“It’s hard when you’re naturally beautiful. I can’t help it.” Ruan Yang raised two orchid fingers coquettishly and proudly.

“Scram.” Changqing shot her a sharp glance.

“Haha, silly.” Ruan Yang was taller than her. She put her arm over Changqing’s shoulders, continuing: “Aren’t you pretty too?”

“So what if I’m pretty? No one likes me.” Changqing threw herself dejectedly on the couch.
