Chapter 707 I Won’t Believe You

Instead of being angry, she laughed and asked, “So?”

“So, the situation is quite clear already—” The director decisively pronounced Xiao Yunyun’s sentence of death, “You have violated the hospital’s rules by pocketing the red packet of the patient’s family. The hospital will punish you for this. In addition, I’ll give you till tomorrow to bring Ms. Lin’s money here, and our medical department will come forward and return it to Ms. Lin.”

Xiao Yunyun shook her head and said, “It’s not like that. I’ve already given the money to Zhixia.” She looked at Lin Zhixia in disbelief. “Why do you deny it? Why are you trying to frame me?”

“Yunyun, you can return the money tomorrow. It is still not too late.” Lin Zhixia looked more anxious than her. Then she added, “Dr. Liang and Dr. Xu value you very much. The hospital will reduce your punishment depending on the circumstances.”

“Lin is right,” the director looked at Xiao Yunyun and said sarcastically, “Little girl, don’t be too vain. You can buy luxury bags and cars with money, but you can’t buy reputation with it. Dr. Xiao, you’ve just started your internship... Don’t ruin your future because of greed.”

“Greed? Ruin my future?”

“Have you figured out the whole thing?” Xiao Yunyun slapped on the director’s desk and said, “Lin Zhixia said that she didn’t take away the file bag, and you believed her. Why don’t you believe me when I said I gave it to her, then? How did you become the director of the medical department?”

In all his time being director of any department, no one had never shouted at him like this.

The director pointed at Xiao Yunyun with trembling fingers out of anger, saying, “Young people nowadays are clueless about basic courtesy and respect. It’s not surprising at all that you would do such an infamous thing and throwing medical ethics down the drain! Xiao Yunyun, you’re barely in your early 20s. Being an intern, without taking red packets from the patients, could you afford to drive a Porsche?”

Xiao Yunyun was so angry that she sneered and said, “According to your logic, you’re qualified to drive a Porsche because you’re almost fifty years old and you’re also the director of this department, right?” she thought about it and added sarcastically, “But I seem to recall that you’re driving a fake Porsche, aren’t you?”

Having been provoked by Xiao Yunyun’s words, the director who was already seething, blushed with a fat and fierce-looking face. He roared, “Ms. Lin’s complaint is about you and Dr. Xu. Now it is proven that this matter has nothing to do with Dr. Xu. So, Xiao Yunyun, the hospital will not be lenient with your punishment. Your good days are over!”

“Just punish me,” Xiao Yunyun glanced at Lin Zhixia and said firmly, “but I will definitely prove that I didn’t take Ms. Xu’s money. You should cherish this time sitting in the director’s office. I will complain about your dereliction of duty once I prove that I’m innocent.”

The director opened his eyes wide in disbelief. “Are you threatening me? Aren’t you aware that you’re just an intern? I can fire you at any time, making impossible for you to graduate!”

“Of course you can,” Xiao Yunyun smiled and said softly, “but before you fire me, I will kick you out of the hospital first.”

After that, Xiao Yunyun left the department’s main office and went to explain the situation to Dr. Xu.

“Why didn’t Lin Zhixia admit that she took the file bag?” Dr. Xu seized the key point of the whole matter. “Is there a conflict between you two?”

“She is my brother’s girlfriend. I trusted her, so I gave her the file in secret.” Xiao Yunyun shook her head. “I don’t know why she framed me even now.”

“What are you going to do, then?” asked Dr. Xu.

“I will ask someone to investigate the matter thoroughly and prove that I did not take Ms. Lin’s money.” Xiao Yunyun sincerely made a request. “But Dr. Xu, I need you to do me a favor.”

“Go ahead,” Dr. Xu nodded and said, “I will as long as it’s something within my abilities.”

“Lin Zhixia may be aiming at getting me expelled from the hospital,” Xiao Yunyun said, “before I find out the truth, can you...?”

“Dr. Liang and I will help you.” Dr. Xu immediately guessed her request. He comforted her before she could finish her words. “Rest assured, we won’t let you leave the hospital.”

At this time, Dr. Xu’s support was like a warm current invading Xiao Yunyun’s heart. She looked at him gratefully and said, “Thank you for trusting me.”

“I’ve been in touch with you for so long, and I know you well.” After a pause, Dr. Xu added, “Even if I didn’t trust you, I know that you’re not in want of money.”

Xiao Yunyun smiled and went back to the office to deal with something, and it was already time to get off work.

She had deliberately parked the car at the entrance of the hospital. After a while, Lin Zhixia showed up.

She stepped on the gas and drove the car to block Lin Zhixia’s way. She rolled down the window and looked at Lin Zhixia. “Get in the car. Let’s talk.”

Lin Zhixia looked around and sat in the passenger’s seat. Before putting on her seat belt, she sent a voice message to Shen Yuechuan: “Yuechuan, I’m off work now. Yunyun is going to drive me home.”

After the message was sent successfully, she put on her seat belt and looked at Xiao Yunyun nervously.

Xiao Yunyun couldn’t help sneering, “You specially informed Shen Yuechuan that you were in my car because you were afraid that I would do something to you, right? You’re overestimating yourself; you can’t make me lose my mind.”

“Yunyun, I know that you’re very anxious,” Lin Zhixia said, “but I really didn’t take away Ms. Lin’s file bag.”

Xiao Yunyun didn’t expect to see that Lin Zhixia would continue acting in such circumstances. She turned her head and looked at Lin Zhixia carefully.

Lin Zhixia seemed to have been born gentle and harmless. No one would doubt her if she said she was a fairy, let alone her insisting that she didn’t take away the file bag.

The temperature of Xiao Yunyun’s smile dropped again. “Lin Zhixia, if I didn’t remember the situation clearly, I would trust you.”

“Yunyun, what are you talking about? I don’t understand...” Lin Zhixia said innocently with a hint of grievance in her voice.

Xiao Yunyun could not help but sigh. In terms of acting, Lin Zhixia was a true master!

Unfortunately, she wasn’t interested in appreciating Lin Zhixia’s acting skills.

“Stop acting,” Xiao Yunyun said coldly, “I’m not recording our dialogue, so you don’t have to work so hard in acting the part. Tell me the truth, what is your purpose?”

Lin Zhixia believed what Xiao Yunyun said.

Given Xiao Yunyun’s nature, if she said she didn’t do it, she was not lying; she disdained to use any sort of trickery.

“You said that you would find out the truth, but you can’t do it alone,” Lin Zhixia said, “Who will you ask for help? Your omnipotent cousin and cousin-in-law, or Yuechuan?”

Before Xiao Yunyun spoke, Lin Zhixia continued to say, “Why don’t you turn to Yuechuan and see whom he’ll trust?”

Xiao Yunyun slowly understood Lin Zhixia’s purpose. “Lin Zhixia, you are really... shameless.”

Lin Zhixia predicted that Xiao Yunyun would ask Shen Yuechuan for help; at the same time, she would also tell him that Xiao Yunyun didn’t give her the file bag, and that Xiao Yunyun had told a lie out of jealousy, saying that she had taken away the file bag for the purpose of destroying her reputation and image.

If Shen Yuechuan believed in Lin Zhixia, it would prove that she was insignificant in Shen Yuechuan’s heart, and Lin Zhixia would take the opportunity to ask her to give up.

However, Xiao Yunyun did not believe it and was unwilling to accept it.

She was unwilling to be slandered by Lin Zhixia. Nor did she believe that Shen Yuechuan was such a blind person.

“Lin Zhixia, I finally see your true colors.” Xiao Yunyun looked at her coldly. “I will definitely let Shen Yuechuan see clearly what kind of person you are.”

Lin Zhixia smiled confidently and said, “I’ll wait.”

“Get out,” Xiao Yunyun ordered, “get out of my car!”

She had once thought that Lin Zhixia was a rarely good girl. Shen Yuechuan might be happy to be with her.

At the moment, it seemed that she had misjudged her.

Lin Zhixia’s gentleness and consideration were fake; she kept on that pretense all along. That girl’s shrewdness was even deeper than the Mariana Trench.

It turned out that Luo Xiaoxi was right. Lin Zhixia was far from being as simple as she looked.

Xiao Yunyun held the steering wheel and decisively thought to herself, “I can’t let Shen Yuechuan be with Lin Zhixia.”

Lin Zhixia was unworthy of Shen Yuechuan, let alone being part of his family!

Xiao Yunyun started the car and dialed Shen Yuechuan’s number at the same time.

As usual, the phone rang twice and was answered. Xiao Yunyun went straight to the point. “Shen Yuechuan, where are you? Go back to the apartment. I want to see you!”

“I’m on my way back to the apartment.” Shen Yuechuan asked indifferently, “What’s the matter?”

“It’s a very important thing,” said Xiao Yunyun, “See you soon.”

After returning to the apartment, Xiao Yunyun barely made time to park the car and went upstairs right away. Shen Yuechuan was already sitting in the living room.

She rushed over and asked, “Did Lin Zhixia say anything to you?”

Shen Yuechuan raised his head and cast a glance at Xiao Yunyun lightly. “What do you want to tell me?”

Xiao Yunyun gasped, and told him the whole story, including her getting the file bag and handing it to Lin Zhixia who unexpectedly accused her of pocketing the patient’s red packet.

At the end of her speech, Xiao Yunyun was so excited that she couldn’t control her emotions. “Shen Yuechuan, can’t you see through such a kind of person as Lin Zhixia? Do you still want to be with her?”

Shen Yuechuan was not swayed by her. Instead, he asked coldly, “Do you want to know what Zhixia told me?”

Xiao Yunyun was stunned. Sure enough, Lin Zhixia who first offended really made the first complaint.

She said with a sneer, “You don’t have to tell me. I can guess.”

Shen Yuechuan continued, “Zhixia told me that she got off work very early yesterday, and you didn’t give the file bag to her, but you insisted that the file bag was in her hands.”

“Ha...” Xiao Yunyun burst into laughter. “What else did Lin Zhixia say?”

“She asked me to tell you that it’s not too late for you to confess to the medical staff and give back Ms. Lin’s money,” Shen Yuechuan said, “And that she would plead for you so as to reduce your punishment imposed by the medical department.”

“Shen Yuechuan, what Lin Zhixia said is a lie and I’m telling the truth. Would you believe me?”

Xiao Yunyun stared at Shen Yuechuan pleadingly, like a drowning person looking at the last glimmer of hope.

Shen Yuechuan didn’t listen to a word she said. He looked at her coldly and rebuked angrily, “Xiao Yunyun, I know you’re mischievous, but I didn’t expect you to go that far! Zhixia is a girl, but you tried to frame her saying she pocketed the patient’s money. Do you know how much harm it would do to her?”
