Chapter 687 — Ruining a Good Thing
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"You — there's just no talking to you. With that temperament of yours, you'll suffer for it sooner or later. By the time someone's sleeping with Wei Zhao, you probably won't even know it!" Liu Xinlan was helpless with her, frustrated that she would not fight for what she wanted.
"If he likes sleeping around, what am I supposed to do about it?" Tang Zhi seemed to be asking Liu Xinlan, and yet also asking herself. But once the question was out, she shook her head again. Never mind. These things were too vexing!
While the two of them chatted, Kang Xiaofeng could get a word in edgewise, and could only sit to one side pretending not to hear.
This was the great The Blossom Guardian Tang! Kang Xiaofeng had never imagined that even the great The Blossom Guardian Tang could fret over gains and losses for a man. The boss was truly incredible!
Zhu Xiaozhang registered Kang Jingming downstairs, then hurried off to the outpatient clinic, where Wang Shubin and Kang Jingming were already waiting.
The hospital had a great many people registering, but Zhu Xiaozhang was a force to be reckoned with — he cut straight to the front. When people called him out on it, he glared and threatened to hit them, which shut his critics up quickly enough! After all, Zhu Xiaozhang was fat-headed, big-eared, and tall as a tower — who would want to provoke him? If he wanted to cut the line, let him cut it...
Zhu Xiaozhang felt no shame at all — quite the opposite, he took pride in it. Only this way, he felt, was he worthy of the title "Brother Arrogant."
Kang Jingming saw the doctor. His ailment was in fact quite simple — an ordinary cold brought on by wind and chill. The doctor prescribed him medicine, but Kang Jingming insisted on being hospitalized.
In fact, his illness was one that could go either way — hospitalization or not — but the doctor, seeing how severe his fever was and how insistently the young man demanded to be admitted, went ahead and wrote him a three-day stay. Kang Jingming was a rich young master, after all, and the doctor had no intention of saving him money.
Medical order in hand, Kang Jingming went off in high delight to find Guan Xin for his injection, which turned out to be quite an ordeal for him. In truth, with that order he could have found someone to give him a shot at any general surgery nurses' duty room or treatment room, but since he had come for Guan Xin and Guan Xin alone, naturally he wanted her.
"Young Master Ming, hold on! We're nearly at Guan Xin's floor — just a little longer..." Wang Shubin saw that Kang Jingming's fever had turned his legs to jelly and he could barely walk steady, and hurriedly cheered him on.
"Right, I'll hold on!" Kang Jingming gritted his teeth and finally made it up the stairs. Just as he was about to reach Guan Xin's nurses' duty room, he saw Guan Xin come out of it together with a young woman — and the sight of the girl beside Guan Xin made Kang Jingming freeze; instinctively he stopped in his tracks.
"Young Master Ming, isn't that Xiaofen, the little tramp? What's she doing with Guan Xin?" Zhu Xiaozhang had seen Xiaofen and Guan Xin come out together as well, and now he was puzzled too.
"Yeah, how could she know Guan Xin?" Wang Shubin was equally baffled.
"Damn, I remember now — Kang Xiaofeng seemed to know Guan Xuewen last time, so it's no wonder Xiaofen knows Guan Xuewen's granddaughter!" For once Kang Jingming's mind had actually worked, only to guess wrong. Xiaofen and Guan Xin had not met through Guan Xuewen at all.
"Makes sense!" Zhu Xiaozhang nodded. "But now we're in trouble — do we go over or not?"
"That little tramp, always ruining my good plans — she deserves to die! Why didn't I run her over back then?" Kang Jingming said viciously. "There's no way I can go over now! If Guan Xin finds out about me and Xiaofen, what chance would I have of courting her?"
