Chapter 196: Ridiculous

The day after returning to the country, Song Xin went to the hospital dean to resign from her position.

She remembered the threatening words of the man that night; her voluntary resignation was not out of fear of Gao Chuan’s retaliation, but because she had completely given up hope after this incident.

She had returned to the country full of hope, chasing after the man just like she did years ago, using all kinds of desperate and cheap tactics, even resorting to throwing herself into his bed, only to end up utterly defeated.

He truly did not love her, hence his stony-heartedness.

When she walked into the office to pack her things, she noticed that Jiang An’s belongings were already gone from her desk, which made her heart skip a beat. Just as she was wondering about it, she heard noises at the door.

Dr. Bai, appearing out of nowhere, casually knocked on the door and walked in, spotting Song Xin packing her belongings with a slight smile curling on his lips.

"Well, leaving already!" The man leaned against the doorframe, his tone flippant and not without mockery.

Song Xin continued packing in silence, ignoring the man’s ridicule, until suddenly she heard Dr. Bai mention, "Jiang An resigned, did that have anything to do with you?"

Hearing him mention Jiang An’s resignation, Song Xin stopped what she was doing, a flash of astonishment in her eyes.

No wonder her desk was empty, Song Xin’s face also clouded with suspicion.

However, she truly didn’t know anything about it, and vexed by such an accusation, she retorted, "No, her resignation has nothing to do with me."

The man, observing her flustered demeanor, sneered coldly, straightened up, and said with contempt, "It’s all because you meddled in their family."

From the first day Song Xin was in the department, he had noticed her interest in Gao Chuan, and he could see the little schemes she played against Jiang An.

No sooner had he spoken, she angrily slammed the box onto the desk and glared at the insolent man.

"Do you think I’m ridiculous?" she asked, her pupils dilated and her voice hoarse.

She knew the man before her had always disliked her, simply because he knew of the relationship between Gao Chuan and Jiang An.

In his eyes, she had been like a clown these days, performing a one-man show.

It must be particularly absurd, Song Xin asked him. A bitter emotion quickly choked her throat, and her eyes began to redden.

She was the beloved Princess since childhood, never conformed to others in her actions. All her sufferings and fearless waiting were devoted to Gao Chuan alone.

She was indeed the joke.

Standing at the door, the man saw Song Xin shed tears after his mockery, and retracted his mocking attitude, watching her as she wiped her tears with her sleeve, he suddenly didn’t know what to do.

Despite this, Song Xin still stubbornly raised her head and hastened her packing, holding the box and walking past the man as if nothing had happened.

Just like before, head held high, not looking like someone who had just cried.

The man remained standing there, his legs as if nailed to the floor, silently clenching his fists.

He undoubtedly messed things up, initially coming over to ask why she resigned.

Yet, he spoke without restraint, uttering those hurtful words, instantly feeling regret.

Thinking of how Song Xin had walked past him, even when finally defeated like a homeless dog, she still carried her innate pride, just like she used to.

The family driver was waiting at the hospital to take her home. As Song Xin got into the car, she looked out at the drizzling rain and felt a sudden pang in her nose.

Upon arriving home, she immediately saw Song Li lounging on the couch with his legs crossed, watching TV. Noticing Song Xin holding a suitcase, the man seemed to understand something.

"Come here," Song Li called out to her sternly.

Originally intending to head straight upstairs to her room, Song Xin stopped in her tracks upon hearing his voice and circled back to the sofa, feeling an inexplicable panic as she saw her brother’s frowning face.

"Did you just resign?" Song Li questioned.

Setting down her suitcase, the woman walked around to the other side and poured a glass of water, "Yes, haven’t you always wanted me to resign?"

"Why the sudden decision to resign?" The man frowned, displeased by her sarcastic tone.

He had reminded her many times to resign, but she never listened. His intuition told him that something must have happened between Song Xin and Gao Chuan during her trip to Switzerland.

Song Xin took a sip of water and retorted loudly, "There’s no reason. I just didn’t want to do it anymore."

Not understanding why Song Li was suddenly so enraged, and feeling aggrieved from her time at the hospital, she put down her glass, intending to go upstairs, but Song Li, who had stood up from the sofa, blocked her way.

With a cold face and a hoarse voice, the man asked, "What exactly did you do to Jiang An?"

Hearing him question her like this, a flicker of anger appeared in her eyes.

Jiang An, Jiang An, why is everyone asking about her.

"I’ve told you not to meddle with those useless schemes, but you just wouldn’t listen, and now you’ve ended up like this." Song Li, noticing Song Xin’s red-rimmed eyes which clearly indicated she had just cried, understood his sister well as a brother.

"Now you’ve gotten your wish. Jiang An and Gao Chuan are getting a divorce. Are you happy now?"

His cold words fell on her ears, and hearing about their divorce, Song Xin was suddenly taken aback.

Song Li still believed that she had schemed it all and continued to scold, "Do you think Gao Chuan will accept you like this, Song Xin? I told you six years ago, what’s not yours won’t come by force."

"Do you have to create a rift between the two families before you are satisfied?"

It was clear that Song Li was furious. He and Gao Chuan had been close friends for nearly twenty years, and the families had always had a good relationship. A mistaken event six years ago already made things awkward.

If it truly was because of Song Xin that they divorced, he, as a friend, probably wouldn’t have the face to meet Gao Chuan anymore.

"Since you’ve resigned, pack up and go back to the United Kingdom after some time."

After being scolded, Song Xin naturally would not bow her head. Hearing Song Li suggesting she go abroad again, with tears in her eyes, she retorted, "Why are you sending me away again? Their divorce is their business. It’s all because that Jiang An is too foolish and can’t withstand a little instigation."

Hearing this, Song Li flew into a rage and raised his hand to give the girl a slap.

With a sharp "snap" sound, Song Xin turned her head, and when she realized what happened, the side of her face that the man had struck was already burning with pain.

Song Li also paused, withdrawing his hand. He had always doted on his sister, never having hit Song Xin before.

"You hit me? You actually hit me for a woman who has nothing to do with you!" Song Xin covered her cheek, tears already streaming down, and yelled at the stunned man in front of her.

It wasn’t until she tearfully dashed upstairs that Song Li was left standing there, his hand still feeling hot, angrily cursing himself inside.
