67 Keep Your Friends Close ... (1/2)

Qin Jingfei looked over at her cousin and asked with a voice full of disbelief: ”Allergy man?!”

Although Qin Song maintained an outwardly cold expression; he cringed internally at being called allergy man. Yet again, Qin Song couldn't figure out what he had done to upset Li Xiuying. Maybe it's that time of the month?

A few of his friends who were married often complained that their wives would be more irritable and easier to anger when it's that time of the month. One term that was thrown around was ”emotionally unstable.”

Qin Jingfei saw that Qin Song was in deep thought and refusing to answer her. She turned to Elder Qin: ”Uncle, why do you think Dr. Li got so angry? Did she want to go back to Emerald hospital? Maybe she still has feelings for that Ex- fiancé otherwise what difference does it make is she operates here or there?”

Qin Song felt his chest tighten and a bitter taste in his mouth. 'The reason Li Xiuying was angry was because she still has feelings ex-fiancé?!'

Qin Jingfei looked over at Qin Song: ”Are you okay? You look very uncomfortable right now.”

Qin Song rubbed his chest: ”Acid reflux.”

Elder Qin: ”Why would she ask to have the article published?”

Qin Jingfei turned back to Elder Qin with a look of shock: ”What?! Dr. Li was the one who asked you to publish the article?” Qin Jingfei thought back to the night that Li Xiuying asked to speak to her uncle alone.

Qin Jingfei: ”Mmm, then it's definitely not residual feelings. Oh I've got it!”

Elder Qin: ”What is it?”

Qin Jingfei: ”Dr. Li probably wanted to exact some more revenge! She probably wanted that Chen family to come to her on their knees begging her to do the surgery.”

Qin Song: ”That is a possibility.”

Qin Song felt the tightness in his chest disappear.

Qin Jingfei: ”Of Course it is. Think about it. For years that cousin and ex-fiancé have been having an affair and flaunting their 'love' in public and she was still expected to still marry him. Do you think it's enough just to publish one article? Besides that article may have shamed those two adulterers but it also allowed them to be together. Would you want the people who betrayed you to be happily planning their future together?! Hell No! If I was Dr. Li I wouldn't stop until they vomited a sea of blood!”

Elder Qin sighed: ”Xiuying must have been angry that she couldn't address her grievances herself.”

Qin Jingfei stood up and poured tea for the three of them.

Elder Qin looked over at Qin Song. His tone serious: ”Song. Why did Xiuying call you allergy man? And don't think I've forgotten that you haven't explained why she locked you in the office.”

Qin Jingfei stirred her tea: ”Dr. Li Locked Qin Song in her office?”

Elder Qin: ”He was stuck in there for over 2 hours.”

Qin Jingfei started laughing; ”I've often heard women want to lock you in their rooms, but I always thought that it meant they wanted to be locked in there with you. I now know better.”

Elder Qin started chuckling on hearing Qin Jingfei's mocking Qin Song and her infectiously laughter. The image of Qin Song's frustrated face when he went to go and unlock the office door appeared in his mind and caused him to laugh even harder.

Qin Song walked to the door and reached for the handle.

Qin Jingfei started speaking like a commentator: ”Oh no! The CEO of Qin Enterprises Qin Song is faced with his arch nemesis ... A door! How will he ever overcome this obstacle?” This started off another round of laughter.

Qin Song pulled open the door and left; leaving behind the two laughing hyena's.
