Chapter 68 Being handsome when you're young doesn't count.
He Qiaoyun spent the morning at the hospital with Tian Tian, who was drawing, but she felt a little bored.
At noon, after obtaining permission from the doctor and Feng Jiashu, she took Tian Tian out.
It was lunchtime, and remembering that her daughter was also at the hospital, she thought she would have lunch with her.
She first asked Tian Tian, "Tian Tian, Auntie's daughter works at this hospital. Auntie hasn't seen her in a long time. Can we invite her to have lunch with us?"
Tian Tian nodded.
He Qiaoyun smiled, took out her phone and texted her daughter, asking if she wanted to have lunch together at a restaurant near the hospital.
Xu Hemei was about to order takeout when she received the message and quickly replied: "Wait for me for five minutes."
She put down her phone, took off her white coat, picked up her bag, and left the department.
I ran into the director while waiting for the elevator.
The director looked her up and down, a smile in his eyes, and asked, "Xiao Xu, how's work going lately? Are you settling in well?"
Xu Hemei avoided the director's gaze and smiled faintly, "It's fine."
The director moved closer to her. "Xiao Xu, I didn't notice before, but you look a lot like that movie star, what's his name again?"
Xu Hemei shifted awkwardly to the side, her smile freezing on her face. "Director, you flatter me. I'm quite ordinary..."
The more she tried to avoid him, the more emboldened the director became, moving even closer to her and laughing heartily, "You're being modest... By the way, where are you going?"
"Ding—" The elevator stopped.
Xu Hemei seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but when the door opened, the elevator was empty.
The director stepped forward first, thoughtfully pressed the switch, and waved to Xu Hemei, "Xiao Xu, come up quickly."
Xu Hemei took a deep breath, braced herself, and went upstairs, then pressed the button for the first floor.
"Going to the cafeteria for lunch?" the director asked with a smile, leaning closer to her as he spoke. "Eating in the cafeteria all the time is no fun. A new Japanese restaurant opened near the hospital; it's on me."
Japanese restaurants are the most ambiguous places; once the small doors to the booths are closed, you can do whatever you want.
Xu Hemei wasn't stupid. She stepped aside and refused, "No need, Director. I... I have an appointment."
The smile in the director's eyes faded slightly. "Xiao Xu, I don't always have time. It's rare that I don't have any surgeries scheduled today. Let's go have lunch together, exchange academic ideas, and also, about your promotion."
Xu Hemei suddenly looked up at him, her expression unclear.
The director, thinking there was hope, smiled again. "Don't worry, you're excellent, your resume is impressive, and your chances of getting a permanent position are very high..."
As she spoke, the elevator doors opened, and at the same time, the doors of the private elevator diagonally opposite also opened, and He Qiaoyun led Tian Tian out.
Xu Hemei stepped out of the elevator and ran into them.
The director stared blankly at the little girl He Qiaoyun was holding.
Isn't that the chairman's daughter...? Who is this woman?
Xu Hemei saw her mother holding a little girl's hand and asked in confusion, "Mom, who is this little girl?"
When the director heard Xu Hemei call the woman holding the group's heiress's hand "Mom," he was momentarily stunned. "Mom?"
Before He Qiaoyun could introduce Tian Tian, Xu Hemei said first, "Mom, this is Director Huang from our department." Then she said to Director Huang, "Director, this is my mom. She came to our hospital to visit a friend, so she invited me to lunch."
He Qiaoyun politely nodded slightly to Director Huang, "Hello, Director Huang."
Director Huang immediately became respectful, "Hello, hello, it's lunchtime, so I won't disturb you any longer."
Xu Hemei waved to the director, "Take care, Director."
He Qiaoyun gently introduced to Tian Tian, "This is my daughter, her name is Xu Hemei, you can call her Sister Xiaomei."
After saying that, forgetting that Tian Tian couldn't speak, he smiled and said, "It's okay if you don't call me that."
Xu Hemei looked at the well-behaved little girl, half-squatting down and playfully winking at her: "What's your name?"
Tian Tian awkwardly stepped back.
He Qiaoyun said, "Her name is Tian Tian. She can't speak now because of some accident, and she's a bit introverted."
Xu Hemei straightened up, said "Oh," and suddenly remembered that the group's heiress was also named Tian Tian, and it was she who brought the CT scan; she'd also heard that Tian Tian was mute... Could this be...?
No, no, she denied it in her heart.
This group's heiress is someone the entire hospital values and protects. Yesterday's grand event required all the hospital's experts to go to the top floor for a consultation; how could her mother possibly bring her out so casually?
"By the way, Mom, why are you taking care of other people's children?"
He Qiaoyun said, "That friend is busy with work, and I haven't had much to do in the orchard these past few days, so I've been helping to look after it. The little girl is very well-behaved."
Xu Hemei lowered her eyes and glanced at Tian Tian, "Why did you suddenly become mute? What's wrong?"
He Qiaoyun shook her head, "I'm not too sure either, but the doctor said that as long as I receive proper treatment, I can recover."
As they left the hospital, Xu Hemei pointed to a Thai restaurant and said, "Mom, let's eat here."
"Row."
The three of them went inside and sat down. The waiter brought three menus, and they ordered a few side dishes and a Tom Yum soup.
While waiting for the food, Xu Hemei asked gossipily, "Mom, I heard from Dad and my brother that you have a boyfriend?"
He Qiaoyun's face flushed slightly at the question. He was clearly a fake boyfriend, and she could have just admitted it to fool her. But for some reason, she felt a little embarrassed.
"How old are you? What do you look like? Are you handsome?" Xu Hemei continued to press.
He Qiaoyun cleared her throat. "He's about my age, and... quite handsome."
Xu Hemei frowned slightly, unconsciously imagining a man around the same age as her mother, and the image of Director Huang's greasy face appeared in her mind.
"Mom, are you sure he's handsome? Men's prime is so short, his good looks when he was young don't count."
He Qiaoyun clicked her tongue. "You only care about looks. Why don't you ask about their character and family background?"
Xu Hemei analyzed logically: "It's just dating, not marriage. It's just about emotional value. Besides, the person you like shouldn't be too bad. If you're not satisfied, you can dump them, just like my dad did."
He Qiaoyun chuckled, "You're clear-headed now, but you get confused when it's your turn."
Duan Fei not only fails to provide her with the emotional value she desires, but he also drains her resources.
Xu Hemei was immediately speechless. "Oh my god, let's stick to the facts. Why are you dragging me into this again?"
He Qiaoyun sighed helplessly, "Fine, fine, I won't bother you anymore."
Tian Tian sat to the side, quietly watching them chat idly, feeling very relaxed.
The dishes were served shortly afterward.
He Qiaoyun kept putting food on Tian Tian's plate, and Tian Tian buried her head in her food, eating two bowls of rice by herself.
Xu Hemei watched Tian Tian eat with great relish and said, "I'm so envious."
