Chapter 1415: Why Do You Look So Aggrieved

~11 min read 2,044 words

"Hehe, Comrade Xiao Zhao, haven't you understood yet? Actually, I have... I have already agreed to let Director Wang... let him... let him 'do that.' The key is that he didn't handle his own affairs, so he couldn't 'do that' to me!" Zheng Jie also followed Zhao Desan and learned to use "that" as a substitute.

Zhao Desan looked at Zheng Jie, tilted his head, and asked suspiciously: "Then why do you still look so aggrieved, Sister-in-law? Is it because Wang Pangzi is still not reconciled? Didn't you already agree to let him do that? Isn't it over once you agree?"

After saying this, Zhao Desan realized that Zheng Jie was looking at him with a strange and surprised gaze, and only then did he realize that his words were inappropriate and would make Zheng Jie feel that he looked down on her, so he immediately slapped himself and said to Zheng Jie: "I'm sorry, Sister-in-law, I didn't mean that."

"You didn't mean that?" Zheng Jie was also amused by Zhao Desan's behavior and became a bit more cheerful. Although there were tear stains on her round, pretty face, she pursed her lips, smiled, and waited for Zhao Desan's answer.

Zhao Desan looked at Zheng Jie's expression and felt an indescribable liking. Charming, fascinating, beautiful, truly a fascinating, charming young woman! No wonder even the hospital's Director Wang would spare no expense to waive so many of Zhao Da's medical fees just to have her! But, since she had already agreed to be taken by Wang Pangzi, why did she look like she was in a more difficult position than going up to a mountain of swords or down into a sea of fire when talking about this matter? Thinking of this, Zhao Desan asked Zheng Jie seriously: "Sister-in-law, to be honest, since you have already agreed to Director Wang's request from your heart, why do you look so aggrieved now? Sister-in-law, don't worry, as long as he dares to just play with you, I will go and reason with him. I definitely won't let you swallow this bitter pill so aggrievedly!"

Zhao Desan's words finally hit the point, making Zheng Jie feel very moved. However, for her, he wasn't someone inside the hospital, and they were not related, and Director Wang had great power. Saying this was undoubtedly going to offend Wang Pangzi.

Looking at Zhao Desan's sincerity, Zheng Jie sighed and said: "Sigh! Director Wang can make his own decisions, but he can't make decisions for that 'tigress'!"

"Oh..." Zhao Desan understood, and then added a sentence: "Yes, Head Nurse Liu is a tigress." He didn't know whether he was saying this to sympathize with Zheng Jie, or because he was inherently repulsed by that flirtatious Head Nurse Liu.

"Alright, I won't take up any more of your time. Being able to talk to you about my heart today, you and I, Sister-in-law, can be considered to have a connection, and I feel much more comfortable. Don't delay your work, go back to the unit and work." Zheng Jie's expression was much more cheerful than before.

A warm current, no, it should be a hot current, surged into Zhao Desan's chest. He stepped forward, grabbed Zheng Jie, who was about to turn and leave, and said: "Sister-in-law, wait a moment, don't go yet, I'll go find Director Wang right now."

"What are you going to find him for?" Zheng Jie looked at Zhao Desan with suspicious eyes. It could be seen that she was very afraid of him going to find Wang Pangzi.

Zhao Desan didn't answer Zheng Jie's words, lifted his legs, and walked upstairs. At the moment of stepping onto the stairs, he turned his head and said a harsh word to Zheng Jie: "What I, Zhao Desan, want to do, even nine cows can't pull me back."

Watching Zhao Desan's impatient back as he left, Zheng Jie seemed to see hope, sat silently on the chair in the corridor, wiped away the tears on her face, and her heart was held very, very tight.

About an hour later, Zhao Desan came back with a flushed face and a lowered head. Zheng Jie didn't say anything, just stood up silently and prepared to return to the ward.

Zhao Desan looked at Zheng Jie's helpless appearance, and his heart felt as painful as if it were being cut by a knife. It was all his own fault for being useless. Although his wish was good, after all, this was a hospital, and he wasn't some big shot. Director Wang didn't need to give him any face. What matters is power. No matter in what agency, what unit, or what enterprise, whoever has power is the boss, and whoever has power can act recklessly and do whatever they want.

Zhao Desan had just gone to find Wang Pangzi, hoping he would give him some face, saying that Zheng Jie's husband was his colleague and good friend, and that such a big thing had happened to their family, so Zheng Jie, as a woman, must be in economic difficulty. He wanted to see if, after waiving the medical insurance portion, the remaining medical and treatment fees could be reduced. But he didn't expect that Wang Pangzi, this famous doctor who claimed to save lives and heal the wounded, was actually a snob. Not only did he not give him face, but he also ridiculed him in a strange way, saying that he had taken a fancy to Zheng Jie and wanted to use this method to achieve his personal goals. Zhao Desan almost told him the facts about him wanting to take Zheng Jie by using his power, but then he thought, there was no need, even if he said it, he could just deny it.

Depressed, Zhao Desan was extremely depressed. He saw Zheng Jie walking toward the ward door with messy steps. For some reason, he stepped forward, grabbed Zheng Jie's wrist, and whispered: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to help you."

Zheng Jie smiled very reluctantly, pulled her hand out of Zhao Desan's hand, and said: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, I don't blame you, really don't blame you. I appreciate your kindness, Sister-in-law will always remember you." After saying this, she turned and walked into the ward.

Zhao Desan followed Zheng Jie like a machine, not saying a word, just following silently. Zheng Jie looked back at him, and he said expressionlessly: "Let's go, I'll go into the ward to see my Brother Zhao."

"Better not, you should hurry back to work, this will affect your work." Zheng Jie declined windingly. In fact, her main thought was that she didn't want Zhao Desan to see her broken family situation. A family of three, two people lying on the hospital bed, her psychological pressure was too great.

Zhao Desan felt as if he owed Zheng Jie something, always feeling that he had boasted, but failed to plead with Wang Pangzi, which made her a bit disappointed. Therefore, he insisted on entering the ward to talk to Zhao Da. Helpless, Zheng Jie had to acquiesce...

After following Zheng Jie to the ward, Zhao Desan saw Nini standing in front of the bed feeding Zhao Da something. At this time, he heard Zheng Jie speak: "Nini, why are you feeding your father at this time?"

"Oh, Nini's IV drip finished today, the nurse just pulled the needle out, she said she was a bit hungry, so I let her soak that bag of instant noodles. She couldn't bear to eat it alone, so she just soaked it and fed it to me first." Zhao Da, who was lying on the hospital bed covered in bandages with only his face exposed, said. Seeing Zhao Desan follow him in, he continued to smile at him and said: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, you're here."

Zhao Desan nodded and smiled.

Hearing her husband Zhao Da's words, Zheng Jie praised her daughter: "What a good child."

Nini turned around at this time, wanting to talk to her father and mother, but found that there was an extra man in the ward. Although she had seen Zhao Desan once, because she was a bit shy, she was startled and actually spilled the small bowl of instant noodles in her hand all over the floor. Zheng Jie hurriedly squatted down, collected the instant noodles scattered on the floor back into the small bowl, then placed the small bowl on the bedside table, and explained to Zhao Da: "Comrade Xiao Zhao said he has a good relationship with you, so he specifically came to see you again alone."

At this time, Zhao Desan hurriedly took two steps forward, nodded very politely to Zhao Da, who was lying on the bed, and said: "Yes, yes, the leaders were all here just now, and Brother Zhao and I didn't say two words, so I specifically came to see Brother Zhao again."

"Why aren't you moving a chair for Comrade Xiao Zhao!" Zhao Da, who was lying on the bed, laboriously supported half of his body, said to Zheng Jie while nodding and smiling at Zhao Desan.

Zhao Desan hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Brother Zhao, don't be polite, don't be polite, I like standing." Just as he said this, Zhao Desan discovered that Nini was putting the instant noodles she had collected from the floor into her mouth one by one. He couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.

While Zheng Jie was busy moving a chair for Zhao Desan, she suddenly discovered that his facial expression was a bit strange. Following his gaze, she realized that her daughter was eating the instant noodles collected from the floor. She hurriedly stepped forward, snatched the remaining instant noodles from her daughter's hand, and said angrily: "How can you eat it without rinsing it?" Saying this, she walked quickly out of the ward to the sink, turned on the faucet, rinsed the remaining instant noodles, and then returned and delivered them to her daughter's hand.

Zhao Desan was even more puzzled this time. He had originally thought Zheng Jie would pour out the remaining instant noodles and then severely discipline her daughter. However, not only did she not pour them out, but she just rinsed them with tap water and let her daughter eat them again. This behavior made Zhao Desan have only two guesses. One was that her daughter wasn't her biological child. The other was that the family was indeed very difficult, and they couldn't bear to waste these instant noodles. Looking at the loving gaze Zheng Jie had for Nini, Zhao Desan denied the first guess, and then, he turned and walked out of the ward with big strides...

Zheng Jie was left at a loss by Zhao Desan's sudden change. She stood there blankly, looking at the ward door without moving. Zhao Da on the bed was even more confused about what was going on, thinking that Zhao Desan despised their family's poor life, especially eating instant noodles collected from the floor, and felt that he looked down on them, so he hurriedly ran away. He said angrily: "Damn it, what kind of good person, they're all the same!"

Zheng Jie didn't blame her husband. She also had the same thought as her husband, feeling that Zhao Desan was just a hypocrite. Seeing her family's impoverished life, even the "idea" he had for her was scared away. "Hehe," this world is too crazy, men have all become cowards... Zheng Jie thought to herself with self-mockery.

"Knock, knock, knock." Just as Zheng Jie had finished tidying up everything in the ward that had been messed up by her husband Zhao Da and daughter Nini, she heard someone knocking on the door outside the ward. She smoothed her somewhat messy hair and shouted toward the door: "Wait a moment, I'm coming." She thought it was the nurse coming to check the room or someone else.

However, the moment she opened the door, she was stunned on the spot. The person standing at the door was none other than Zhao Desan, who was holding a box in his arms, with a large plastic bag on top.
