Chapter 197: Chapter 197: Like Me?

Tang Chuxia was so angry she gritted her teeth. "Are these even human words?"

"What does it mean to make her unlucky?"

Tang Chuxia wished she could go up and slap those two people. She had just lifted her foot when someone covered her mouth and dragged her away.

Tang Chuxia struggled desperately, but it was futile until she saw that the person dragging her was Gu Beihuai, and then she relaxed.

"How did you get here?"

Tang Chuxia was very upset.

Gu Beihuai was particularly helpless, "Who do you think I came here for?"

Tang Chuxia then remembered that she had asked Gu Beihuai to help investigate.

She felt a bit embarrassed and fixed her hair, "Still, you didn’t have to drag me away. You have no idea how scared I was just now!"

Gu Beihuai was speechless, "This is a hospital, with people coming and going. If I dragged you away with so many people watching, would I really do that openly if I were a bad person?"

His eyes were full of mockery, making Tang Chuxia very upset.

What was their relationship anyway?

Wasn’t he being a bit too harsh on her?

"Gu Beihuai, do you have a problem with me?"

Tang Chuxia pressed close to Gu Beihuai, but he held her head still, "This is a hospital, mind the impact."

Tang Chuxia: ...

So angry she felt like biting someone.

"Did you see earlier? How are Hu Mingcheng and Liu Meijuan mixed up together?"

Gu Beihuai shook his head, "I don’t know!"

He truly didn’t know, and was even a bit puzzled.

Tang Chuxia shared the conversation she had overheard, and Gu Beihuai thought there must be something fishy going on.

"Could it be that they orchestrated the issue with my senior brother?"

Tang Chuxia was very suspicious.

Gu Beihuai nodded, "It’s not impossible."

Hu Mingcheng was a sly and petty man, and Liu Meijuan was quite foolish—they could possibly be up to something together.

But with those two gone, they could check on Liu Meijuan’s brother’s condition.

As soon as they reached the entrance of the ward, they heard a nurse scolding loudly, and the ward was extremely noisy.

Tang Chuxia and Gu Beihuai peeked inside, only to see the nurse sternly warning, "The hospital beds are in high demand right now, you are cleared to be discharged, and if you don’t leave, don’t blame us for kicking you out!"

It turned out Liu Meijuan’s brother’s health issue wasn’t serious at all, and the doctor had already asked them to leave, but they refused to do so, insisting on staying in the hospital.

Normally, it might have been overlooked, but with the end of the year shortage of hospital beds, many patients couldn’t be admitted, and they were hoarding resources, which was detestable.

The doctors at the hospital at this time were very responsible and were not afraid of the patients.

The nurse was quite assertive, hands on her hips scolding people, and Liu Meijuan’s brother got so angry that he wanted to start a fight.

It was Tang Chuxia’s idea, she couldn’t just stand by and let the nurse get hurt, she pushed through the crowd ready to help, but Gu Beihuai held her head, "Why worry about everything? If Liu Meijuan comes back in a moment, how will you explain?"

Tang Chuxia was frustrated but knew Gu Beihuai was telling the truth.

"Go wait in my mom’s office, I’ll handle this!"

Gu Beihuai pulled her behind him and entered the ward.

The nurse, upon seeing Gu Beihuai, felt as if she had seen a savior. Gu Beihuai, too lazy for words, directly dragged the man out.

Liu Meijuan’s brother knew of Gu Beihuai’s fierce reputation, didn’t dare utter a word, and obediently agreed he would leave and settle the hospital bill.

Gu Beihuai watched Liu Meijuan’s brother and coldly said, "Now that you’re okay, go to the police station and explain everything. If you dare to scam people, I won’t mind letting you spend New Year’s in the hospital!"

Scared to the point her legs almost went weak and made her kneel,

she agreed to go to the hospital to resolve things.

Liu Meijuan’s brother was afraid of Gu Beihuai not because Gu Beihuai had a notorious reputation, but because Gu Beihuai had beaten him up several times during their school days.

Years of psychological shadow were not so easily cured.

What Tang Chuxia and others thought was a very troublesome matter ended with just one intimidation from Gu Beihuai.

After listening to the nurse’s vivid account, Tang Chuxia gave Gu Beihuai a thumbs-up.

"Impressive!"

Gu Beihuai uttered with a half-smile, "Payment!"

Tang Chuxia immediately felt awkward.

How could she have forgotten about this?

She had thought it was a troublesome matter before and had promised a reward.

Tang Chuxia insisted she wouldn’t forget, she talked with the nurse without looking at Gu Beihuai, and Gu Beihuai didn’t remind her either. He picked up a book and sat reading next to her, having plenty of time to spend with Tang Chuxia today.

Mrs. Gu was extremely busy today, with many childbirths lined up. She was so preoccupied that she couldn’t even come back for a drink of water. After waiting for a while, Gu Beihuai took Tang Chuxia and left.

The nurse behind them, hands pressed together, had stars in her eyes.

"They are so perfect together! If they get married and have a child, I must apply to be their midwife!"

The head nurse, walking past, slapped her head, "Stop dreaming, even if it’s the delivery, Doctor Hu will be the one to do it personally!"

The nurse then remembered that their department head was Gu Beihuai’s own mother.

-----------------

Gu Beihuai took Tang Chuxia out of the hospital and, as mealtime approached, the streets were crowded.

Policies had relaxed recently, and many restaurants had opened. Nevertheless, Gu Beihuai led Tang Chuxia into an alley next to Black Tiger Spring.

At the very end of the alley, there was a small restaurant, not very large, but packed with people.

"The chef is the father of my comrade-in-arms; he’s really good at Boshan cuisine!"

Gu Beihuai greeted the old man, then set up a table himself and sat down with Tang Chuxia.

Tang Chuxia had never been here, and indeed did not know about this small restaurant.

"That must be really good!"

The ’Grandmaster’ of Shandong cuisine among the major culinary traditions came from Boshan. Tang Chuxia was indeed looking forward to it.

Gu Beihuai did not order specific dishes, but let the old man decide on four dishes, just enough for them to eat.

With many people around, waiting for the dishes was an exercise in patience.

The old man then offered Gu Beihuai to help himself to some melon seeds.

Tang Chuxia wanted to peel the melon seeds, but saw Gu Beihuai pulling them towards him and starting to peel.

"About Old Guan’s son’s situation, I asked around a bit, it’s simply two men fighting over a woman, and that woman deliberately trapped them both!"

Gu Beihuai talked while peeling the melon seeds.

Tang Chuxia rested her chin on her hands and listened.

"You said Liu Meijuan and Hu Mingcheng set up both men for you, but it’s not accurate. Old Guan’s son was an accident, at most they wanted to use this incident to make you step in!"

Tang Chuxia was puzzled as Gu Beihuai placed a handful of peeled melon seeds in her palm.

"They were also trying their luck, if they could involve you that would be best, if not, they had a backup plan!"

Gu Beihuai continued to peel melon seeds, while Tang Chuxia stared at the kernel in her palm somewhat at a loss.

Honestly, she hadn’t expected Gu Beihuai to peel melon seeds for her; she thought he was peeling them for himself to eat.

Gu Beihuai kept talking with his head down, but Tang Chuxia held his hand.

"Gu Beihuai, have you fallen for me?"
