Chapter 313: Chapter 313: There’s an Older Brother in My Head

"I’ve set you up?" Shen Yanhe raised her eyebrows slightly and asked unhurriedly, "How have I set you up?"

"Wasn’t it you who told Lu Yubai that I’ve been using sedatives on Lu Jing? And wasn’t it also you who spoke to Dean Ge, resulting in my expulsion from the hospital?" Fan Yajing’s eyes were bloodshot, she stared at Shen Yanhe, grinding her teeth, "How can you be so malicious!"

Originally, after she returned from the Lu Family Manor, she had been planning on how she could meet Fu Yanhe again.

After all, she believed that she was more feminine and charming than Shen Yanhe.

But before she could finalize her plan, she received a call from Dean Ge, telling her she was dismissed and need not come to work the next day.

She hurriedly called back to ask for the reason, only to find out that Dean Ge had blocked her number.

While she was in a state of panic, her friend sent her a Weibo link, saying that the Lu Family had released a statement on Weibo.

The content was related to her treatment of the young master of the Lu Family over the past six months, stating that she had achieved no substantial therapeutic effect. On the contrary, in order to receive a high salary, she had consistently administered large doses of medicine containing sedatives to the young master.

The statement declared that as a doctor with no medical ethics, who recklessly used medication, the Lu Family would sue her according to the law.

Netizens were aware that the Lu Family had been searching for doctors to treat their young master for years, and their statement quickly soared to the top of the trending searches once it was released.

Fan Yajing’s reputation became disastrously tarnished in just a few minutes, and her parents’ businesses also suffered, leading to them berating her furiously once she got home, and even striking her.

Her father even confined her at home, indicating he wanted to find someone for her to marry off to as soon as possible.

How could Fan Yajing agree to that?

She had just met a high-quality man like Fu Yanhe, and no other men could catch her eye!

Moreover, she didn’t feel she had done anything wrong, but rather thought that the Lu Family had taken things too far.

If it wasn’t for the sedatives she had used during that half-year, their young master would have already died of self-harm during one of his bouts!

She had used sedatives for his own good!

Fan Yajing thought that her unfortunate incidents began one after another ever since Shen Yanhe took over Lu Jing’s case.

Therefore, she escaped from home to confront Shen Yanhe for an explanation.

Unexpectedly, she was so lucky to encounter Shen Yanhe right here.

It seemed like even the heavens were helping her!

As soon as Shen Yanhe heard her say this, she knew that Lu Yubai was the one who had acted.

As a father, how could he remain indifferent after finding out that his beloved son had been misusing sedatives and had narrowly escaped death?

Shen Yanhe looked at Fan Yajing’s eyes, full of resentment and burning red, smiled slightly, and spoke calmly, "As a doctor, don’t you know that children should use sedatives with caution?"

"Isn’t it only right that I informed the patient’s family about your misuse of sedatives?"

"Besides," she said, looking at Fan Yajing with a detached gaze, "a doctor like you, who is irresponsible to patients, misuses medicine, and has no medical ethics, was rightfully dismissed by Dean Ge."

"He didn’t blacklist you in the medical community, which is already merciful of him."

Fan Yajing’s chest was filled with intense anger and jealousy, and her whole body seemed like an overinflated balloon, her chest heaving violently.

She was on the verge of exploding.

The way Shen Yanhe looked at her indifferently, in her eyes, was the arrogance of a victor!

Fan Yajing couldn’t contain herself anymore and, with a scream, she lunged at Shen Yanhe, raising her hand to slap her across the face, "You’ve ruined me! I’ll kill you!"

Fan Yajing had always been outstanding, always top-notch and competitive, and could not bear the idea of living as a rat crossing the street, despised by all.

Especially now, seeing herself down and out while Shen Yanhe still looked glamorous and high and mighty, her jealousy was uncontrollable.

Her attack was sudden, but Shen Yanhe’s reaction was even quicker.

She lifted her hand to clasp Fan Yajing’s wrist and twisted it backward with her other free hand, slapping Fan Yajing’s cheek repeatedly with sharp smacks.

Fan Yajing had not anticipated that Shen Yanhe could react so swiftly; her face swelled red from the solid slaps, her ears buzzing.

As soon as she opened her mouth to scream, Shen Yanhe choked off her throat.

Shen Yanhe’s expression was icy, "Don’t shout."

Fan Yajing’s scream got stuck in her throat, her eyes widened in terror as she stared at Shen Yanhe, her mind blank, limbs going limp.

"You thought you could kill me?" Shen Yanhe chuckled lightly, tilting her head slightly as she looked at Fan Yajing, "Who gave you the courage?"

A broken sound struggled from Fan Yajing’s throat, her eyes full of fear.

The smile on Shen Yanhe’s face slowly faded, her grip loosened.

Fan Yajing’s body collapsed like a limp dog, crumpling to the ground like a pile of mud, trembling all over.

"Without the strength, don’t talk tough like they do in TV dramas; it’s awkward." Shen Yanhe took out a wet wipe from her pocket, wiped her hands, glanced indifferently at Fan Yajing, and walked past her toward the manor.

As Shen Yanhe passed by her, Fan Yajing shrank in fear, her body curling up, completely lacking her previous fierce demeanor.

Only when Shen Yanhe’s figure had completely disappeared did warmth return to Fan Yajing’s cold, stiff limbs. She scurried away, tumbling and crawling, daring not to trouble Shen Yanhe again.

She had seen it clearly just now.

Shen Yanhe was no pushover; she really could have killed her!

Fan Yajing wanted revenge, wanted to salvage her reputation, but she wanted to live even more!

However, what she didn’t know was that the incident at the door had quickly reached Lu Yubai’s ears.

Lu Yubai immediately took action, swiftly severing several collaborations with the Fan Family and exposing their scandals of tax evasion and using shoddy construction materials on their building sites.

The Fan Family declined rapidly, soon becoming inconsequential in Haicheng.

All of Fan Yajing’s medical-related licenses were revoked, and her life became even harder.

Of course, that was a story for later.

-

As soon as Shen Yanhe entered the gate, she saw a small figure wobbling toward her direction from afar, followed by four or five adults.

"Oh my! Little Master! Slow down!"

"Don’t run too fast! Be careful not to fall!"

Shen Yanhe paused her steps, and Lu Jing had already run up to her, hugging her legs with his arms spread out, lifting his soft, fair, delicate face, his sparkling eyes filled with a smile, "Mommy, you’ve finally come."

Shen Yanhe looked down, her gaze softening at the little radish head that hadn’t reached her waist, her slender fingers gently tapping his forehead, "Little guy, I’m not your mommy."

Lu Jing pursed his lips, hugged Shen Yanhe tighter, and said quietly with his head bowed, "I don’t care, you are my mommy."

Shen Yanhe’s eyebrows raised slightly, a hint of helplessness on her face as she bent down to pick him up, "Where’s your daddy? Have you felt unwell these past few days?"

"My daddy is in the living room on the phone." Lu Jing spread his arms around Shen Yanhe’s neck, rubbing his cheek affectionately against her face, nodded obediently, "I haven’t felt unwell."

"It’s just," he frowned slightly, pointing to his own head, with a bit of confusion he said, "I keep feeling like there’s a big brother in my head."

"Before, I could always hear that big brother talking."

Shen Yanhe’s movements froze momentarily, she asked quietly, "What did he say?"

"He said, his name is... Fu, Fu something Heng? He asked me to save him."
