Chapter 481 - Leave! (2/2)
She covered her face and ran out. As a grown woman, her life hadn't been smooth-sailing, but she had never been subjected to such humiliation. Today, this man had slapped her on her face, rendering her too shameless to face anyone.
”Have you enjoyed the show?” Chu Lui asked Du Jingtang.
Du Jingtang caressed the tip of his nose. How could one have enough of a show? Obviously, he hadn't. He wanted to continue watching, but the actors must be willing to perform.
Right now, it was a solo act. There were no lines. Nothing.
”Brother, did you really save her?” The show had pricked Du Jingtang's curiosity. With one swift motion, he pulled out a chair and sat down.
”Yes.” Chu Lui caressed his shoulder. ”I got the wrong person.”
Du Jingtang was smart enough not to question further. He knew who Chu Lui thought that Li Yangyang or Li Mama was without his cousin saying. Chu Lui thought she was his ex-ex-cousin-in-law, Xia Ruoxin. There was some resemblance between the two women, but Li Yangyang was not the real one.
Chu Lui's eyes shifted to the bouquet of flowers on the table.
”Get rid of those chrysanthemums. I'm not dead yet.”
Du Jingtang grabbed the bouquet. ”I hated the flowers, too. Who would choose such a color combination? It really looked like a bunch of chrysanthemums.” He took the bouquet and left. Then, he tossed it unceremoniously into a trash bin outside. Naturally, he didn't feel the pinch. It wasn't bought using his money.
He returned to Chu Lui's ward. He would make small talk with his cousin or play games on his mobile phone.
Soon, a nurse and the doctor arrived.
”Oh, it's you.”
Du Jingtang waved his hand at the doctor. They weren't on familiar terms, but they had seen each other a couple of times.
”Hi, how are you? Where is the little cutie? Is she here?”
Gao Yi returned Du Jingtang's friendly smile. ”She's at home with her mother. Usually, she's not allowed to come.”
”What a pity.” Du Jingtang pulled a sullen face. Oh well, he couldn't meet the little cutie, but her father worked here. His eyes lit up again. As long as her father was here, she would definitely come.
Gao Yi came closer and examined Chu Lui's wound.
”Mr. Chu, you are not severely injured so you can be discharged anytime.” Gao Yi knew what Chu Lui was up to. However, it was such a waste that his ruse wouldn't work here.
Chu Lui buttoned his clothes. ”Are you worried that I can't afford to pay for my bills?” His voice was cold with sarcasm.
”No. Mr. Chu's wealth is more than enough to buy a few of our hospitals.” Gao Yi remained smiling. It was a doctor's ethics, that's all. As for Chu Lui, he could stay for as long as he wanted. Gao Yi could care less.
Du Jingtang looked at Chu Lui and then at Gao Yi. Why were both of them behaving weirdly as if they were exchanging verbal blows and sarcasm?
