I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 429

Yu Qing grimaced as she shook her head slightly. “I’m not. You are just teasing me!” She was not afraid of Su Shaoqing. It was just that she tended to conduct herself more ceremoniously around him. “Right. Is there something I can do for you?”

She assumed that Su Shaoqing was not one for random social calls. The last time he made an appearance at the ob-gyn department was during Shi Nuan’s pregnancy when he came for a visit along with his family. Yu Qing felt that Su Shaoqing must also have made this trip for similarly specific reasons as she did not think she would have crossed his mind otherwise.

Su Shaoqing grinned, “As a matter of fact, there is!”

“Please speak your mind!” Yu Qing was pleasantly surprised to see Su Shaoqing being this polite. “Might it be work-related?”

“You could put it that way!” Su Shaoqing nodded. He paused for a moment before continuing, “I assume that you are familiar with Shi Wei!”

Yu Qing blanked out momentarily as Shi Wei’s face suddenly surfaced in her mind. Even if Yu Qing did not pay attention to celebrities, Shi Wei had left enough of an impression on her that there was no chance that she could have forgotten her. Yu Qing nodded. “I suppose that I am. Do you know her well, Director?”

“More than well, I would say…” Su Shaoqing paused before he said, “Did she come by for a consultation with you the day before?”

Yu Qing was dismayed. “Director, this invokes doctor-patient confidentiality!”

Su Shaoqing pursed his lips. He then suddenly got up and closed in on Yu Qing, towering over her. Yu Qing’s neck jerked back in fright as Su Shaoqing’s face hovered in front of hers.

She blinked twice before backing away.

Yu Qing got to her feet. With her head held low, her expression cannot be read as it was shielded from view.

Her heart pounded fast and her face flushed red to the ears.

Su Shaoqing raised an eyebrow and retreated to his seat. “Dr. Yu, as director of this hospital, it is my responsibility to show concern for my doctors as well as my patients!”

Yu Qing kept her head bowed as her cheeks still felt warm. She could not catch the nuances of what Su Shaoqing was saying. “Director… what’s your relationship with Shi Wei?”

Su Shaoqing raised his head and regarded her placidly. “You seem to be showing quite a bit of interest in my personal life, Dr. Yu?”

“I just thought that the director might fancy Ms. Shi, that’s all!” Yu Qing replied. Then it occurred to her that both Shi Nuan and Shi Wei shared the same family name. Yu Qing’s eyebrows knotted as she looked upon Su Shaoqing. “But that Ms. Fu…”

“You need only tell me the purpose of Shi Wei’s visit here, or hand me her medical report!” Su Shaoqing rapped the table impatiently with his index finger. Apparently, Yu Qing’s words had struck a nerve with him.

Yu Qing was someone who knew her place. She quickly took the hint when she read Su Shaoqing’s expression. “This is Shi Wei’s file. She had declined to undergo surgery previously and had been coming to me using her friend Su Su’s name!”

Su Su?

The corner of Su Shaoqing’s lips twitched as the name mentioned seemed to ring a bell. “I’ll be taking this with me!”

“But Director…” Yu Qing spoke with mouth agape. “What would you want with this?” It contravened the hospital’s regulations to share patient information. It would arguably be acceptable for Su Shaoqing, as he was the hospital’s director. But what if he showed it to outsiders?

Should the information be leaked, Yu Qing would doubtlessly be the first to come under suspicion. Yu Qing took care to be thorough in doing her due diligence as she had considered that Shi Wei might not be someone she would like to mess with.

Su Shaoqing pursed his lip. “Relax. I’ll take good care of this. Even if confidentiality were breached, it would be more of a problem for me than for you, as this is my hospital. I wouldn’t want to put it to ruin!” He reached out to pat Yu Qing reassuringly on her shoulder. “Now, get back to work!”

After he stepped out, he went straight back to his office. Su Shaoqing shook his head in disapproval as he leafed through Shi Wei’s medical records. He then rang up Fu Chengyan. “I’d say. Your sister-in-law is quite something!”

Fu Chengyan’s eyes narrowed. “Get to the point.”

“Got what you want. Shall I have it delivered to you later?”

“Just send me some shots of them!”

Su Shaoqing took photographs of the documents and mailed them to Fu Chengyan. “If you are going to publicize them, be more creative with your approach. I still intend to continue operating my hospital!”

“Got it.” Fu Chengyan furrowed when he read through the contents of the medical record on his computer screen. It was as May described. Shi Wei was not only adept at creating problems for him. She was equally good at putting herself in a pickle. “I should be hanging on to this for a while longer, so no worries!”

“Thanks for your help.” Fu Chengyan said. “As for Qin Yanzhi, it has been verified that Qin Xiaoxiao is deceased. The parents of that child Bai are indeed both of them. The boy is only under Ling’s care because she took pity on him.”

Su Shaoqing’s eyes widened and he remained silent for some time.

“Would you be dealing with Qin Yanzhi, or should I?”

“I’ll see to it myself! Bai’s condition has stabilized, but he probably can’t hold out for much longer. I will settle this as soon as possible.” Su Shaoqing exhaled when he ended the call but did not feel much relief.

He doubted Fu Ling adopted that boy Bai purely out of plain sympathy.
