Chapter 46 - 46: Don’t Forget, My Surname is Nan
“Where is the person who saved me? Is she unwilling to see me?”
He Zhizhou had a troubled expression, and his sickly appearance seemed even more dejected.
“Mr. He, the person who helped you with acupuncture at the time left once your life was no longer in danger. We don’t know who she is, so we can’t find her.”
Tao Qingming guessed that Mr. He should be familiar with Nan Yan, but as an outsider, he didn’t want to speculate too much about why Nan Yan didn’t want to see him.
Mr. He’s son, He Lifeng, hesitated for a moment and asked, “Was it the girl who entered the emergency room with you that day?” Tao Qingming was speechless.
Oh no, how embarrassing to be caught in a lie…
“A girl?” He Zhizhou looked puzzled. “No, it couldn’t be a girl! Miss Nan is already in her mid-twenties…”
He Lifeng, certain of himself, nodded, “That’s right, it was a girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and quite beautiful.”
“She was even wearing a high school uniform!”
His eyes were perfectly fine, and she was clearly a young girl.
“Director Tao, you even called her to come in with you. There’s no mistake about that.”
Tao Qingming was speechless.
Feeling embarrassed for the second time.
He had to keep lying to conceal Nan Yan’s identity, but it was exposed in front of him. He wished he could find a hole to hide in.
He Zhizhou’s expression was puzzled.
He knew his own illness and the gravity of the situation. He had been seeking medical treatment while carrying the burden of his condition for so many years.
Fortunately, two years ago, he encountered Miss Nan, who saved him and allowed him to leave the sickbed, giving him the freedom to move around.
He didn’t expect to have another episode, and he thought he might not survive this time.
But the person who saved him, if it wasn’t Miss Nan, how could it be a young girl?
He Lifeng noticed his father’s confusion and quickly reassured him, “Dad, don’t worry too much. I’ll send someone to find that girl.’
“Her school uniform had the words ‘Zhide High School’ on it. I’ll go to Zhide
High School and try to find her. Once we find her, we’ll bring her to see you.”
“But for now, focus on recovering your health and avoid getting too anxious or worked up, or you might have another episode!”
He Zhizhou sighed, “Alright. You must find her as soon as possible. I need to see her!”
Regardless of whether she was Miss Nan, he needed to find out!
After a few more words, Tao Qingming left the VIP ward.
Once outside the ward, he messaged Nan Yan to inform her that the patient knew she was a student at Zhide High School and wanted to meet her.
Nan Yan read the message, her eyebrows slightly furrowing.
She underestimated Mr. He’s persistence in seeing her.
It seemed that she needed to find an opportunity to meet him.
She would assume a completely new identity and not reveal her true self.
About ten minutes later, the car stopped outside the First Hospital.
Nan Yan put away her phone and looked at Qin Lu, saying, “Brother, wait for me in the car. I’ll be back soon.”
Qin Lu glanced at her, then replied indifferently.
Nan Yan let out a sigh of relief after stepping out of the car.
The pressure of being in the same car as Qin Lu was quite significant…
She messaged Tao Qingming to let him know that she had arrived.
Tao Qingming was currently attending to another patient, so he instructed Nan Yan to go to his office, where the patient was waiting for her.
After replying with an “OK,” Nan Yan put her phone away and took out a lollipop from her pocket. She unwrapped it, placed it in her mouth, and casually discarded the wrapper in the trash bin. Then she entered the elevator.
Inside Tao Qingming’s office, both Lu Lehua and An Muyao were becoming impatient.
Half an hour had passed, and Lu Lehua was about to go find someone. She was ready to complain about leaving the patient unattended in the office!
An Muyao held her back and gently persuaded, “Mom, let’s wait a little longer. As long as the doctor recommended by Director Tao can effectively treat my arm, waiting a bit longer won’t matter.”
She felt irritated and angry as well.
But in front of Lu Lehua, she had to maintain her well-behaved facade.
Seeing her daughter’s obedient appearance, Lu Lehua nodded and said with a loving tone, “Alright, let’s wait a bit longer. Don’t worry, it’s just nerve pain, not a major issue. It will definitely get better.”
“Yes.” An Muyao buried her head in Lu Lehua’s shoulder and acted spoiled, saying, “Mom, thank you for loving me so much. I promise I won’t let you down!”
Nan Yan pushed the door open and saw this display of maternal love and filial piety.
She immediately felt her eyes offended.
But then she quickly realized.
So, the patient Tao Qingming mentioned is An Muyao.
Without any hesitation, Nan Yan turned around, intending to leave.
However, Lu Lehua quickly stopped her, saying, “Nan Yan, stay right there!” She walked up to Nan Yan in a few steps.
With a stern expression, she scolded, “Nan Yan, how long do you plan to keep fooling around outside? As a girl, you never come home and spend your days fooling around outside. What kind of image is that?”
There were still patients waiting outside, and her words attracted all those patients’ attention.
Furthermore, due to Lu Lehua’s comments, the patients were pointing and whispering, directly categorizing Nan Yan as a bad girl.
Nan Yan’s eyes flashed with a hint of ridicule, and a cold, mocking smile appeared on her beautiful peach blossom eyes. “Mrs. An, that is the An family, not my family. Don’t forget, my surname is Nan.”
“Your daughter is behind you.”
Lu Lehua was stunned for a moment and then angrily said, “What are you talking about? You’ve already changed your name to An. You are recognized as part of the An family. What else do you want?”
Nan Yan placed her hands in the pockets of her school uniform, maintaining a casual and proud posture. Her beautiful eyes held a deep sense of mockery. “Your recognition means nothing to me. Also, I have already changed my name, and I will no longer be surnamed An.”
Lu Lehua felt as if she had been slapped in front of everyone, filled with anger and annoyance. She exclaimed, “Are you blaming me for treating Yaoyao better than you? Have you ever considered how obedient and talented Yaoyao is, while you…”
“Even if you had half of Yaoyao’s talent, I would have nurtured you well. But look at what you’re like, don’t you have any self-awareness?”
“It seems that being the daughter of Mrs. An has nothing to do with blood relations.” Nan Yan smirked, her beautiful brows and eyes full of defiance. “Since that’s the case, from now on, you only have An Muyao as your daughter.
I am too despicable and unworthy to be associated with the An family.”
Lu Lehua was stunned for a moment, then furious and ashamed, pointing at Nan Yan angrily, “Nan Yan, if you have the ability, don’t ever use a single penny from the An family again!”
“Fine,” Nan Yan nodded. “Then, Mrs. An, please refrain from bothering me in the future.
“Nan Yan!”
Lu Lehua was almost driven to madness.
Why was it so difficult for her to apologize?
Why did she have to confront her like this, completely oblivious to the ways of the world?
What sin had she committed to give birth to such a beast?
Nan Yan let out a cold laugh, ignoring her cries, and turned to leave. Her slender figure stood tall and straight, her back held with unwavering confidence..
