Chapter 311 Sima Zhao's intentions are obvious to everyone!
In Beijing, a thousand miles away, just a few days after the Spring Festival, the streets and alleys still held a festive atmosphere with couplets and paper-cuts pasted on gates and windows, and firecracker debris scattered on the ground. Zhou Xiaobai arrived at the hospital on time as usual. Now a colonel, she was considered a junior leader.
Once in my office—after working at the hospital for so many years, I finally had my own—I poured myself a glass of hot water, sat down at my desk, and picked up some inpatient medical records that were lying to the side. I started flipping through them one by one, my expression downcast. In fact, that's how I'd felt all Spring Festival. The reason was simple: Yuemin hadn't come home, and I hadn't written to her for over a month. I'd called her a couple of days ago, and she said he was out on field training and didn't know when he'd be back.
She felt somewhat resentful. She thought about him all the time, but he just ignored her completely. He was so carefree to leave such a beautiful fiancée like her in the capital. Wasn't he afraid she would run off with another man?
snort!
Just then, there was a knock on the door. "Come in!"
Luo Yun, dressed in a white work uniform, entered from outside and went to the desk.
"Director Zhou, you're so dedicated! You arrive half an hour early every day. How are the ordinary staff supposed to keep up? It puts a lot of pressure on them."
Zhou Xiaobai said:
"I'm not the director, I'm the deputy director, this is just my personal habit, I don't expect others to do the same. But you, Deputy Director Luo, have been acting very strangely lately. You come to the hospital early every morning and don't go home after get off work. You keep coming to our department. Your intentions are too obvious. Everyone knows what you're up to!"
Luo Yun sat to one side,
"What's my intention? Tell me."
Zhou Xiaobai put the medical record aside and looked at Luo Yun. A few years ago, Luo Yun's marriage had suffered a major upheaval. Her father-in-law and husband were both executed for embezzlement and bribery of enormous sums. She had become pregnant, then divorced and had an abortion. It was expected she would be depressed for a while; after all, such a tragedy would be hard for anyone to accept immediately.
However, she underestimated the 'resilience' of her childhood best friend, who acted as if nothing had happened. Less than six months later, she heard that her friend was being arranged to go on blind dates. It seemed that Yuemin was right; her best friend was probably also involved in her husband's and father-in-law's corruption case. The reason she wasn't implicated was because her unborn child saved her life; she wanted to have an heir, and perhaps the two had made some kind of agreement in private.
The results of it?
One shot, and they immediately aborted the child. This ruthlessness and cold-bloodedness chilled her to the bone. This person, besides her parents, was arguably her closest confidant. But what did it matter? Anything detrimental to her future development, or any obstacle, would be eliminated without hesitation, even her own flesh and blood.
She now has no doubt that if she were to get in someone's way one day, they would definitely eliminate her without hesitation. Of course, she's not the naive young girl she used to be. Since they work in the same hospital and see each other all the time, there's no need to be cold. She smiles and chats as usual, remaining 'close and intimate,' but deliberately maintains some distance, which the other person is surely aware of.
It's all just playing along, a tacit understanding between us!

“Li Yuanchao is staying in my ward, and you go into his ward four or five times a day. What are you trying to do? Even a fool can see it.”
