89: The Upper Hand

The Upper Hand

Su Qingsang just wanted to tell him to take less cold showers. She accidentally used too much force when she was pulling him, however, so he ended up sleeping on top of her body when he flipped over.1

Good thing that he always placed his hands in front of her chest.

"Wife, you…" What did she mean by this? He wondered.

Su Qingsang made eye contact with his critical gaze and was at a loss for words.

She tried to push him and said, "Get up, I didn't do this on purpose."

"Wife…" Huo Jinyao's face was furious.

"Don't, don't fool around."

Su Qingsang tried to get up from the bed quickly, but she got up too fast and crashed into Huo Jinyao again.

The moments after were disastrous, and Su Qingsang didn't wish to think about them ever again.

She only felt the furious look on Huo Jinyao's face that made her smile disappear. He used that expression to look at her all the way to the hospital.

Now, she met the curious gaze in Shen Pinglan's eyes and chuckled.

"The woman in bed eighteen left the hospital. She recovered, and she even thanked me when she bumped into me downstairs just now."

"That's because Dr. Su is always very nice to the patients. They think you're very good."

"Being polite to patients is a must." Su Qingsang nodded and stopped thinking about Huo Jinyao. She put on her white coat and went to check on Bai Zhihan.

Bai Zhihan was recovering pretty well and was more alert than before. She was by herself when Su Qingsang went to see her.

"Um, where's Su Yuxin?"

"He went back to class." Bai Zhihan spoke very softly. She had just gotten an abortion and was still very weak.

Su Qingsang just remembered that Su Yuxin was still only a high school student. She sighed and left after telling her things to watch out for.

Before it was time for her to get off work that night, Shi Mengwan came to look for her again.

"Qingsang." Shi Mengwan checked her up and down and coughed. "Not bad. It seems that getting married had had a big influence on you. Look at your blushing complexion…"

"What are you saying? My complexion has always been like this, alright?"

Su Qingsang was pretty healthy. She was a doctor, so she understood the importance of being healthy more than others.

Shi Mengwan chuckled and replied, "Are you sure? You are a totally different person now. Don't you deny it."

"Alright. You haven't even told me what's up."

She really didn't want the topic of how she had gotten married to come up.

"Looking to eat with you. National Day is almost here, and I'm afraid that I won't have time to come look for you when more people get married."

"Isn't that good? You can earn more money."

"Of course." Shi Mengwan seemed to have suddenly thought of something. She proclaimed, "That's right, I just remembered."

"What?"

"I saw your younger brother just now." Shi Mengwan bumped her shoulder and asked, "Why was he here? Doesn't he have class? Did he come here to find you? He didn't come to mess with you, did he?"

"What are you thinking?"

Although neither Su Peizhen nor Su Yuxin liked her, they wouldn't lower themselves to messing with her.

Shi Mengwan wasn't an outsider, and she was good at keeping her lips sealed. Su Qingsang briefly informed her of Su Yuxin's situation. "That's how it is. I didn't even think he would come today."

Who would've thought that he would come by again? I wonder if the families know yet. She thought to herself.

"Qingsang, think about it. This gives you the upper hand."

Shi Mengwan thought about how much Su Qingsang had suffered because of her family. "You should notify the Su family of this situation. It will let them know that their legitimate children aren't actually that much better than you."
