Chapter 616: [616] Events from many years ago Chapter 616: [616] Events from many years ago “The department of medical education had the internship arrangements planned out early in the morning,” said Cao Yong. “I guess she will be paired with another person to study with him. That’s in line with your usual principle. Without competition, there are no strong players.”

Don’t be fooled by President Wu’s scholarly appearance; it’s nothing like his style of doing things.

President Wu expressed his dissatisfaction with his unvarnished opinion: “I’m doing this for your own good.”

“I know.” Cao Yong nodded at Old Naughty Boy to show he fully understood.

President Wu waited for him to continue the conversation, but after a long while, Cao Yong stopped chatting with him.

Ignoring what others were saying, Cao Yong’s gaze refocused on the surgical video. He was here to watch her surgery, not to idle away the time with chatter.

As the others followed his gaze back to the video, the screen paused on the final frame: Xie Wanying’s eyes were fixed on the numbers on the monitor. In her cool gaze shone a bright, bewildering light that irresistibly captured one’s attention.

Afterward, Zhu Huicang accompanied his old classmate as they left, saying, “What is President Wu trying to do with this arrangement? Do you really think it’s good for her to go to Tao Zhijie? They don’t know you like her, do they?”

“My liking her has nothing to do with where they arrange for her to go,” Cao Yong frowned deeply. With all her talent, why should others whimsically speculate otherwise?

Receiving his glare, Zhu Huicang realized he had spoken out of turn and explained, “I didn’t mean it like that. It’s just that you and he have had arguments before. I’m wondering if her going there to study will create any issues between the two of you.”

As for the conflict between them at that time, Zhu Huicang glanced at Cao Yong with a complex look, absolutely no one dared to bring it up again. Of course, Cao Yong wouldn’t answer his question.

The patient from bed 11 was brought down to the ward after surgery. Zhang Wei’s mother was very concerned about it.

“The surgery went smoothly and finished ahead of schedule,” the family of the patient in bed 11 announced the good news to Little Aunt Zhang and the rest of the ward mates.

The ward mates all offered their congratulations.

Something was amiss, and Zhang Wei’s mother rushed out in panic. Her phone started ringing–it was her daughter calling. Zhang Wei’s mother quickly answered.

“Mom, Dad froze my bank card!”

Her daughter’s card was a supplementary card linked to her husband’s primary account, and her husband as the primary cardholder could cancel it at any time. Her husband was serious! Zhang Wei’s mother trembled and said, “I’ll go ask your father.”

Elder Brother Zhang approached his wife and said, “We agreed earlier that she doesn’t need to continue her studies abroad and should come home to visit Grandma.”

“How could you let her quit after she managed to go abroad?”

“Don’t think I don’t know. The way you talked to Dr. Xie that day, I knew you definitely encouraged your daughter to do something,” Elder Brother Zhang said, red-faced with anger.

As the saying goes, you wouldn’t be so detailed about something if you hadn’t done it yourself. Zhang Wei’s mother could casually fabricate rumors of a student’s affair with a teacher, typically projecting her own guilty conscience.

“I don’t understand what you’re saying,” Zhang Wei’s mother feigned ignorance.

“Why did you make our daughter wear beautiful clothes to visit a foreign teacher’s home? I sent my daughter abroad to learn better knowledge, not to sell herself.”

“She needs to build good relationships with foreigners if she hopes to emigrate abroad. Staying abroad is better than being here in our home country,” Zhang Wei’s mother argued.

“Now she listens to you and only thinks about being abroad, completely disregarding her family here,” Elder Brother Zhang felt utterly let down by his wife and daughter, “We’re getting a divorce. Our son will stay with me, and you can go abroad with your daughter.”

Zhang Wei’s mother was shocked: “You want to divorce me?”
