After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

Mrs. Ye was completely bewildered. What was going on?

She said softly, "I'm sorry, Second Young Master, I misheard the rumors. It's also my fault for not doing a good enough job, causing Miss to be misunderstood by everyone."

Lu Lingbai calmed down: "It has nothing to do with you. This is just a misunderstanding. Don't blame yourself."

If he hadn't heard his sister's true feelings, he would never have imagined that the truth was like this.

Aunt Ye looked even more guilty. "No, I am responsible. I have failed to live up to the expectations of the master and the young master, and I have not been able to take good care of the young lady."

"Second Young Master, I would like to lead everyone in a formal apology to the Eldest Young Lady, is that alright?"

Lu Lingbai thought about it again and said, "It's kind of you to be so thoughtful. I'll take care of this."

-

Shen Baolin was also surprised. She had dealt with Xie Qinglan a few times and remembered him as a person with strong principles who was not easy to get along with.

I didn't expect them to be so attentive today.

But on second thought, I could understand; it was probably because of my cousin.

The Lou family is one of the major shareholders of this company. Even the most skilled doctor has to curry favor with the shareholders.

Originally, he wanted to embarrass Lu Sijian, but in the end, only he, who was putting on such a great show, was embarrassed.

Lu Sijian always has this ability to make herself seem right even when she is clearly in the wrong.

Shen Baolin felt bored, and just then the phone rang, so she went out to answer it.

"It's just a localized soft tissue contusion, nothing serious," Xie Qinglan explained the precautions.

Lu Sijian looked up and glanced around. "Dr. Xie, is your consultation room at the renowned doctors' clinic fixed, and the same at the regular outpatient clinic?"

Lu Lingbo knocked on the door and walked in, leaning on his cane. "Of course, many people come here because of Dr. Xie."

"The registration fee at the Famous Doctors Hall is too expensive, and ordinary people simply cannot afford it. Therefore, the hospital will arrange for some doctors to sit in the outpatient department one day a week so that ordinary people can also see a doctor."

Because of this measure, the hospital has always had a very good public image.

Lu Sijian couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

[Yeah, that's why you can't be a good person, otherwise things will go wrong.]

Lu Lingbai couldn't help but glance sideways. Something had happened. What had happened?

[Dr. Xie was working overtime in the regular outpatient clinic next Thursday at noon when he was stabbed by a patient's family member. He spent several months in the ICU before barely surviving, but he will never be able to hold a scalpel again.]

Xie Qinglan is merely a background character in the book, with little interaction with the female lead, so naturally there is no detailed description of his injury process in the book.

Lu Sijian noticed these things because one of the injured was a caregiver.

The caregiver's daughter works as a nurse at this hospital and happens to be acquainted with Mu Liangyue.

Mu Liangyue is the most empathetic towards people at the bottom of society. After learning that the nurse's family had encountered a crisis, she took the initiative to lend the nurse all the money she had.

This scene was witnessed by the main villain, who then fell in love with her at first sight.

[As expected of the female lead, she can always win the admiration of men.]

Lu Lingbai was extremely anxious, thinking to himself, "Why didn't my sister remind me?"

This is no small matter. Xie Qinglan is young and promising, and injuring his hand would completely ruin him!

What about a man's admiration? Are those the important things?

Lou Xiao suddenly spoke up: "Dr. Xie, do you often work overtime at the regular outpatient clinic during lunch breaks?"

Xie Qinglan was a little surprised. Why did they ask about this? However, he was familiar with the group, so he replied, "The regular outpatient clinic does indeed work overtime for a while."

“No, Dr. Xie, you can’t work overtime at noon!” Lu Lingbo blurted out.

Xie Qinglan was stunned for a moment, and Lu Sijian and Lou Xiao also turned to look at him.

Lu Lingbo pointed to the nurse on duty and said with a smile, "If you work overtime, the nurses and assistants will also have to work overtime. Don't let the young lady go hungry."

The fact that he could read his sister's thoughts was too incredible, and he didn't intend to let anyone know.

"Oh, I see," Xie Qinglan said. "It was my oversight. I won't work overtime anymore."

He looked serious, clearly having taken the advice to heart.

Lu Lingbai felt relieved. Great, this way the risk can be avoided!

However... his sister wasn't as happy as him; in fact, she seemed indifferent.

If it were Mu Liangyue, she would speak up even if she was misunderstood.

It was something that could be said in a single sentence, but my sister wouldn't even say it.

Lu Sijian felt a little confused. Why was Dian Gong always looking at her?

[Speaking of which, I finally understand why Lu Lingbai is just a tool for a simp. His flirtatious and promiscuous behavior is really worthless!]

Lu Lingbai: "..."

How did he become a tool for simps again?

"Then we won't bother you any longer, Dr. Xie." Lu Sijian stood up to take her leave.

Xie Qinglan glanced at the calendar: "Miss Lu seems to be recovering well recently. See you at her follow-up appointment next month."

Lu Sijian paused for a moment and turned to look at him.

Lu Lingbai's heart tightened. Was his sister trying to give him some kind of warning...?

"See you next month, Dr. Xie." With that, Lu Sijian walked out first.

Lu Lingbai felt an indescribable disappointment. How could she so casually say something like "see you next month"?

If her true feelings were true, Dr. Xie might not even have another month.

Shen Baolin came over after finishing her call and saw him looking dejected. She asked in surprise, "What's wrong, Brother Lingbo?"

"It's nothing," Lu Lingbai shook his head.

"Ah Jian, you go down first, I need to make a phone call." Lou Xiao suddenly said as they walked to the elevator, then stepped aside.

In a quiet corridor, he stopped and made a phone call.

Since the Lou family is a shareholder in this hospital, they can naturally intervene in the management and make some decisions.

He made two requests over the phone: first, to relieve Xie Qinglan of her shift; and second, to strengthen security.

Simply not working overtime doesn't guarantee complete safety; only if Xie Qinglan doesn't go to work on that day can the risk be completely avoided.

What he could think of, Lu Sijian could definitely think of as well.

But she didn't mention it at all until she left.

-

Lu Sijian walked at the front, somewhat absent-minded.

She only looked up and blinked when she heard Shen Baolin's voice.

Shen Baolin: "Ah Jian, I still have work to do, so I can't stay with you."

Since she had already brought it up, she might as well make it clear at once, so that Aunt Wang wouldn't keep subtly asking her if she had time, which was really too annoying.

"I've taken on a project recently, so I'm afraid I'll be very busy."

Wang Ma immediately became anxious: "Then, could you accompany Miss to the jewelry exhibition in a few days?"

"...I'm afraid I don't have time either," Shen Baolin said with a polite smile.

Wang Ma was still unwilling to give up: "Can't you just spare a little time...?"

“Wang Ma, Bao Lin will definitely make time if she can,” Lu Sijian said, stopping her from persisting.

She understood the look in Wang Ma's eyes and couldn't help feeling a little helpless.

[Wang Ma thought that since Shen Baolin could come to visit Mu Liangyue, she would definitely be able to find time to spend with me as well.]

She thought Shen Baolin had promised she could contact her anytime, so she actually went to see her, not realizing it was just a polite remark.

Shen Baolin lowered her head, her eyes filled with indifference.

Three years ago, she did indeed consider Lu Sijian to be the most important person in her life.

At that time, she felt that whatever Lu Sijian did was right, and she was so fortunate to be friends with such a person, and she should unconditionally support and trust her.

On the contrary, she looked down on Mu Liangyue, who was still a student receiving financial aid, thinking that Mu Liangyue was too good at flattering people and that she might be up to no good, so she reminded Lu Sijian to be careful.
