Chapter 176: 145 Entrusted by others, loyal to others’ affairs (1 more update)_1 Chapter 176: 145 Entrusted by others, loyal to others’ affairs (1 more update)_1 This response made Tang Su tense for a moment.

She initially thought that Sun Qing might have had another dispute with Lei Wei; during such a special time, she feared for Lei Wei getting hurt even more for the girl suffering a loss.

But she felt it was unlikely because, headstrong as Sun Qing was, she still had her wits about her and knew where to draw the line; otherwise, she wouldn’t have sent Lei Wei to the hospital immediately after the emergency happened.

Some less astute people might have seen Lei Wei’s condition at the time and thought she was faking illness to gain sympathy.

No matter what, the fact that Lei Wei’s child was safe from Sun Qing’s hands was a great relief to Tang Su.

It was also quick thinking on Sun Qing’s part.

“Some colleagues from the company came over to visit the hospital today.”

“She’s pregnant and lets you guys come over.”

“…She said it was uterine fibroids, didn’t mention pregnancy.” Sun Qing paused for a second, then sent the text message.

“Oh.”

Tang Su wasn’t curious about why Lei Wei would tell such a lie.

But if Sun Qing said she was the mistress of a married man and now she was pregnant out of wedlock, then bringing the child into this situation would be improper.

“What are you up to?” Sun Qing changed the subject.

“Washing my hair. Mom is getting her hair done, thinking of changing her style and getting a perm.” Tang Su snapped a photo of Zhao Xinlan’s current state and showed it to Sun Qing.

“Mhm, mhm, not bad; a brand-new phase, starting from the top, mom is indeed a heroic woman.” Sun Qing gave a thumbs up.

Tang Su chuckled and said, “Alright, cut it out. You’re exaggerating.”

“Miss Tang, there’s a spot available now for you to get your hair blown out.”

“Okay, thank you.”

“No more chatting; it’s my turn to get my hair done. If you have the time, can you check if our Dr. Lu had a proper lunch?” Tang Su jokingly said.

“Sure, I’ll go take a look for you.”

Committed to fulfilling the task entrusted to her, Sun Qing said to her colleagues and with a coffee in hand, she entered the hospital through the back door to check if Dr. Lu took proper care of himself at lunchtime.

Sun Qing thought Tang Su was fussing over nothing.

In all the years they didn’t see each other, Lu Han hadn’t let himself waste away from hunger.

Sun Qing knew where Lu Han’s office was, heading straight to the second floor.

When the duty nurse saw Sun Qing heading straight for Dr. Lu’s clinic, she quickly stepped forward to stop her, “Hey, hey, what’s going on? Who are you looking for? It’s not working hours yet; wait until it’s time, take a number then come.”

“Nurse, I’m not here to seek treatment, I’m looking for someone.”

“Looking for Dr. Lu? How come there’s another one?”

The nurse stared at Sun Qing, muttering under her breath.

Sun Qing’s hearing was good, plus, they were the only two people in the hallway at the time, with a few patients and their families who had arrived early dozing off in the waiting area.

The quiet environment made the nurse’s murmurs clearly audible to Sun Qing.

However, Sun Qing was very curious about what she meant by “another one.”

Another what?

“Nurse, look, Lu Han is my cousin. He came to Hua City for a trip with friends, and my aunt is worried about him being alone, so she asked me to check on him and see if he’s been eating well.”

“You see, Nurse, could you help me out?”

“You’re also Dr. Lu’s sister?” Earlier, there were rumors that Dr. Lu’s sister came to the hospital with a fever for IV treatment, and naturally, they also knew that even though Dr. Lu was aloof, he definitely wasn’t hatched from a rock.

Having family members, having a sister was normal.

“Yes, yes.” Sun Qing nodded like a pecking chicken, even though she didn’t understand why the other person used “also,” she was now Lu Han’s cousin.

Sun Qing leveraged her impressive social skills and soon coaxed out what she wanted to know.

She found out their hospital had an employee canteen, and with company subsidies, one could eat very decent meals for very little money.

So, the nurse reassured Sun Qing and her nonexistent aunt not to worry too much about Dr. Lu not eating well.

Sun Qing nodded, then started to inquire whether a suitor had come looking for Lu Han today.

After all, being a woman herself and with Lu Han being so outstanding, combined with the disdainful look and tone the nurse had just expressed, Sun Qing felt she could guess with near certainty.

Sure enough, after hearing her words, the nurse sister was even more convinced that she was Doctor Lu’s cousin.

Then, she began to recount to her the troublesome admirers Doctor Lu had encountered since he had started working at their hospital.

There were female patients who had fallen in love with Doctor Lu after being cured, bringing flowers to the hospital under the guise of gratitude, seizing the opportunity to confess their feelings, only to be rejected.

There were also family members of patients, whether daughters, sisters, or elder sisters; in essence, anyone who had laid eyes on Doctor Lu’s good looks had fallen for him and bravely tried all sorts of ways to sneak into the outpatient room to confess to Doctor Lu.

Some pretended to be patients during working hours, registering to face Doctor Lu and confess their love for him. Although this method allowed them to tell Doctor Lu to his face about their affections, it was also the method that led to Doctor Lu’s most severe scolding for wasting resources.

Wasting a lot of people’s time, extremely excessive.

Listened to these enthralling tales of Lu Han brushing off unwanted admirers, Sun Qing was full of admiration and deeply moved; such a great man, and it was her Tang Bao who had struck gold.

Yes, yes, not bad at all.

In the eyes of her best friend, Doctor Lu’s already impressive score went up by two points, from ninety to ninety-two now.

Once it surpasses ninety-five, her Tang Bao can completely consider marrying him.

After all, a man who scores a hundred is something you can hope for but never find.

The most important point is, there probably isn’t a perfect one-hundred-point man on Earth. Everyone has at least one tiny flaw, right?

Being able to score ninety-five would be quite perfect already.

As Sun Qing was listening to the stories about Doctor Lu, unaware that Bai Dingxian had also come over, both of them holding coffee from the same shop.

“Sun Qing, what are you doing here? Looking for Lu Han?” Bai Dingxian squinted his eyes and asked, thinking this woman had left long ago.

Hearing that Bai Dingxian knew the other party, the young nurse felt reassured.

Doctor Bai and Doctor Lu are very good friends. Since Doctor Bai recognizes this young woman, then she certainly didn’t lie to her. She must truly be Doctor Lu’s cousin.

“Lu Han hasn’t come back from ordering afternoon tea?” Without waiting for Sun Qing to answer, Bai Dingxian asked the nurse guiding the way nearby.

“Yes.”

“If Lu Han isn’t here, what are you squatting around for? It’s break time now, and nurses are human too. They should be able to nap on their desks at this time. Why are you bothering them?” Bai Dingxian couldn’t help but reprimand Sun Qing.

Before Sun Qing could explain, the young nurse quickly waved her hands, “No, no, Doctor Bai, don’t say that about Doctor Lu’s cousin. She is also here on a mission to care for Doctor Lu.”

“Doctor Lu’s cousin? Is that what she told you?” Bai Dingxian snorted coldly, turned his head, and looked at the nurse who had been deceived by Sun Qing, his heart filled with sympathy.

What Bai Dingxian found even more incomprehensible was just what was going on with Sun Qing. It was bad enough that she liked to deceive men, but now she was also casually telling lies to deceive women?

Is lying really that amusing?

Or is it that she’s a habitual liar?

Sensing her lie was about to be exposed and certain that Bai Dingxian would most definitely not help her cover it up, Sun Qing took the opportunity to slip away while he was talking to the nurse.

To avoid the embarrassment.

Mainly, she simply could not face the nurse with a peaceful conscience when she discovered the deception and the wounded, innocent expression that would follow.

Telling this little lie for her was nothing more than an attempt to pry into the gossip regarding Lu Han’s romantic pursuits for Tang Bao, without any ulterior motives.

It really was a harmless act.

But to the person being deceived, it might not be the same story.

By the time Bai Dingxian turned back to look for the woman, Sun Qing was already sprinting towards the elevator.

With such a guilty conscience, what more was there for the young nurse not to understand?

The young nurse quickly assured Bai Dingxian, “I’m sorry, Doctor Bai, I will definitely be on guard in the future, not letting anyone deceive me again.”

“It’s not that serious, you’re tired from your shift anyway. When there’s no one around, you should continue to nap so you can be energized when you go back to work in the afternoon,” he said.

“At first, she asked if Doctor Lu had eaten well, and I said our hospital’s staff canteen was pretty good. Then she talked about all those female suitors of Doctor Lu,” the nurse explained.

“Well, although she did deceive you, she was indeed asking on behalf of someone else. No harm done, go back to napping for a bit, you’ll need the energy for work this afternoon.”

After comforting the young nurse, Bai Dingxian left without going after Sun Qing.
