To My Dear Mr. Huo - Chapter 159

Chapter 159: You Think Too Much.

Generally, when she finished her work every night she was so tired that she wanted to lie in bed right away. Even during the video chat with Huo Jinyao, she said only a few words hurriedly and ended it quickly.

She had just finished examining a patient when she received a phone call from Shi Mengwan.

“What’s the matter?”

It was already afternoon, and less people came to see the doctors in the afternoon. Su Qingsang told the doctor next to her she was taking a break and answered the phone outside.

“Qingsang.” Shi Mengwan told Su Qingsang what had happened that day.

“What, exactly, do you think your eldest sister wants to do?”

Su Peizhen ordered a wedding dress from Shi Mengwan? Why did it sound so fantastical to Su Qingsang?

“I don’t know.” Su Qingsang didn’t really know much about Su Peizhen. “I think you might have thought too much about it. Maybe she simply likes your design.”

“How could that be? You did not see her face when she came in the door. She looked so arrogant, like I owed her money. I really wanted to ask her to leave and say that I would not take this order.”

“Why not?” Su Qingsang laughed. “Why not take the order? Take it and do it well. You will make a lot of money from her. That is your style.”

“Well, yes.” Shi Mengwan nodded. “I thought it was unusual for Su Peizhen to come to me. I kept wondering what she could want from me?”

“You think too much, don’t you? How could she even use you against me? That is not something that Su Pheizen would do.

“Right.” Shi Mengwan smiled and felt that she had been too sensitive. “Well, you are still in the countryside, so I’ll stop here for now. Take care of yourself and don’t get too tired.”

“I know. You too.”

Shi Mengwan said a few more words, hung up the phone, and turned around, only to find that Qiu Yanbo was actually standing behind her.

She was so taken aback that she almost dropped her phone. “You—”

“Sorry.” Qiu Yanbo smiled calmly and said, “I dropped something in here.” As he spoke, he picked up a wallet from the seat where he had been sitting. Shi Mengwan had not noticed him until just now.

“Oh, you said Qingsang had gone to the countryside?”

“Yes, to Qingyuan—” Shi Mengwan stopped halfway and suddenly looked at Qiu Yanbo, defensively. “Mr. Qiu, why do you care?”

“Nothing. Just asking.” Qiu Yanbo looked indifferent. “I have cooperated with Huo Jinyao recently, so I asked. You don’t need to be so nervous.”

Shi Mengwan heard his words. Although she felt strange about them, she did not think too much. She sent him away with a smile but didn’t see the strange flash of light in his eyes.

…

Su Qingsang hung up the phone, found it was raining outside. The number of patients was lessening.

That day was her ninth day in the countryside. She had gone to four towns and, tomorrow, they were going to the fifth. Everybody packed up and planned to leave for another town tomorrow morning.

In the middle of the night, it rained harder and harder. The next morning, when the medical team was about to leave, it was still raining. Everyone was looked at Director Li and waited for his instructions. Director Li took out his mobile phone to look at the time and checked the weather forecast.

“It will be probably raining all morning. It’s only a two-hour drive to Gaoye Town. Let’s start off at once.”

Since Director Li had said so, everyone put their things in the car and got in.

Su Qingsang sat in the car and watched the rain, feeling a bit uneasy.
