Chapter 287

"Dean..." Zhang Wan shouted angrily, hoping the Dean would give her justice.

But the Dean merely coaxed her, saying: "Su Ruo is just like that; she doesn't understand things, don't stoop to her level."

Although the Dean said Su Ruo didn't understand things, his tone of favoritism and indulgence was almost spilling over; how could Zhang Wan fail to notice?

Thus Zhang Wan grew even angrier inside, but having just arrived here, even if she were dissatisfied, she couldn't turn against the Dean; she angrily turned and left to find Lu Zhan.

Lu Zhan's wife was a volunteer soldier who sacrificed herself during the Long March; to honor her, Lu Zhan never remarried or had children.

Zhang Wan merely said she wanted to use this opportunity to cultivate feelings with Song Jingyu.

He isn't afraid of managing several thousand soldiers, but dealing with these girls who burst into tears at the drop of a hat is truly beyond him.

So after Zhang Wan finished speaking, she smugly waited to see Lu Zhan lose his temper.

Previously, although Zhang Wan liked Song Jingyu, Hao Manru stood in the way, and the elders in her family were old acquaintances; Zhang Wan had been proud and haughty since childhood, disdaining the spectacle of two women vying for one man, so she ultimately suppressed these thoughts.

But Zhang Wan never imagined that before she even met Song Jingyu, Lu Zhan would send her packing back home.

The Dean gloated as he looked at Lu Zhan: "I've told you before, Su Ruo's medical skills are fine; Song Jingyu waking up is just a matter of time."

But contrary to Zhang Wan's expectations, upon hearing her words Lu Zhan did not fly into a rage as she had imagined.

Lu Zhan now feels remorse so intense his intestines seem to turn green; it's not that he distrusts Su Ruo's medical skill, but because Song Jingyu remains unconscious, his heart finds no peace.

Rather, he pondered and said: "Is that so? This matter is also due to my lack of foresight, causing you to feel wronged; that girl is proud and haughty, and my suddenly placing someone here will inevitably make her think I don't trust her."

Zhang Wan instinctively fears Lu Zhan; Su Ruo dares to retort him without mercy, but Zhang Wan does not dare.

This time Zhang Wan is truly furious; did she travel thousands of miles just to play? She came here to treat Song Jingyu's illness, and it's said that the sick are the most vulnerable.

"This matter is due to uncle's lack of foresight, which has wronged you; in that case, these few days I'll have the driver take you out to have fun, buy whatever you want, uncle will foot the bill—consider it uncle's apology."

Zhang Wan was already angry; at this moment Lu Zhan's question immediately made her eyes red with grievance.

Su Ruo, a mere military medic, actually dares to openly oppose her; she will certainly make Su Ruo pay the price.

After all, everyone knows Song Jingyu's prospects are limitless, and his own appearance is also excellent.

But you insist on not believing, insisting on finding some expert in Kyoto; now it's said that inviting a deity is easy but sending them away is hard, with these two girls together, I wonder how you'll handle it.

And you just casually shop and play—what's there to buy or do in this godforsaken place?

Zhang Wan has practically grown up under his watch; for this child, he feels genuine affection in his heart.

When Zhang Wan arrived at Lu Zhan's office, he had just hung up a phone call; seeing her displeased expression, he smiled warmly and asked: "Miss Wan, what's wrong? Have you been wronged?"

Zhang Wan believes that as long as she can come into contact with Song Jingyu, he will surely fall in love with her.

Upon hearing this news, Zhang Wan felt speechless, yet she knew her opportunity had arrived; if Song Jingyu likes doctors, she herself is not only a doctor but also possesses a status and position thousands of times better than Su Ruo's.

Zhang Wan is already 26 this year; in her youth she was proud and haughty, and everyone looked down on her, thinking those people were a bunch of ignorant brutes.

But now, at this age she's practically becoming an old maid, and she inevitably feels some anxiety; Zhang Wan doesn't want to settle, and after weighing her options she feels Lu Zhan is suitable.

Although his background is somewhat lacking, Lu Zhan treats him like his own son, so it doesn't matter.

The young lady, aside from being somewhat proud and haughty, has no major flaws; hearing that her medical skill is also not bad, she is considered one of the more outstanding children in the compound.

A single layer of arranged shores, nine shores, a washed shore.

After all, she was invited by Lu Zhan; Zhang Wan doesn't believe Su Ruo would so blatantly deny her face, and Lu Zhan would not ignore it.

Zhang Wan feels she's about to die of anger inside, yet she still dares not show it in front of Lu Zhan.

Lu Zhan not only has a bright future, but marrying him would let her live her own little life in peace, without having to serve parents-in-law; for Zhang Wan this is simply wonderful.

Therefore, she thought of having Kyoto send someone over; more people helping to look after Song Jingyu can only be beneficial.

So she deliberately said this just to provoke Lu Zhan's anger, after all she was personally invited by him.

Not long after Zhang Wan left, the Dean entered Lu Zhan's room; at that moment Lu Zhan had already hung up the phone, wearily rubbing his brow.

But Zhang Wan never expected that Hao Manru would be so useless—not only failing to win Song Jingyu, but also being driven mad by a country girl.

Zhang Wan still wanted to say something, but Lu Zhan's phone rang again.

"If your precious little one wakes up and sees that you've actually made his wife disappear, see if he'll resent you."

Su Ruo's refusal to give her face is tantamount to openly slapping Lu Zhan; Zhang Wan knows that someone in Lu Zhan's high position most despises being defied.

Zhang Wan knows that although Lu Zhan appears amiable, his temper is actually explosive; in earlier years he dealt sternly with any soldiers who disobeyed orders.

Only, as the saying goes, "fallen flowers have intention, flowing water is ruthless"; Lu Zhan's own conditions are not bad, but he treats everyone coldly, as if he never considered personal matters.

It's also that I was too impatient, only thinking that more people treating Jingyu would increase his chances of waking up, without considering that girl's temperament.

Therefore, although Zhang Wan inwardly despises the harsh living conditions on the island, she still came.

Lu Zhan answered the phone; seeing that he had matters to discuss, Zhang Wan, though she still had much to say, had to swallow it and left, feeling wronged.

Moreover, Su Ruo is after all a girl, and she and Song Jingyu are not yet married; her constantly attending to him day and night is not good for her either.

These days he has also heard those rumors in the military; although Su Ruo shows no concern, Lu Zhan does not want her to suffer injustice because of them.

Therefore, he deliberately emphasized to Kyoto that they should send an experienced old doctor to attend to Song Jingyu; who would have thought the person who came would actually be Zhang Wan.
