So You're Such A Doctor Song

Chapter 56: Depression. Part 2

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Inside the hospital ward, there was only one nurse present in there with Shen Lu.

Shen Lu was watching the television when they arrived at the ward. Seeing Changqing coming to visit her made Shen Lu delighted.

At the entrance of the ward, Changqing smiled and moved to the side, allowing Guan Ying to enter the ward before her. After that, she promptly introduced Guan Ying to Shen Lu, “Auntie, this is Guan Ying. She’s brother Fu Yu’s girlfriend as well as a good friend of mine. She got wind that you’d fallen ill, so she came to the hospital to pay you a visit.”

“Hello Auntie, I’m Guan Ying.” Guan Ying passed a bouquet of fresh flowers and the visiting gift she brought along with her to the nurse before she introduced herself to Shen Lu. “I heard from Fu Yu that you love to drink Dragon Well tea the most, so I went out of my way to get a friend of mine to buy some for me from Mei Jia Wu village.”

Changqing thought Guan Ying really had a way with words as the one who told her about Shen Lu having a penchant for Dragon Well tea was her, and by telling Shen Lu that it was Fu Yu who told her this fact, it would give Shen Lu the impression that they had a particularly close relationship.

“That’s very thoughtful of you.” Shen Lu thanked Guan Ying while she carefully examined the woman in front of her. She’s innocent-looking, but since my son explicitly mentioned that he isn’t particularly fond of her, that should mean he has no interest in her whatsoever. It’s clear that this woman used Changqing to find her way there, and it looks like she’s quite a scheming person. Shen Lu thought in her mind.

While she was thinking about all this without batting an eyelid, she smiled. “But why didn’t I hear anything from Fu Yu about you coming over to pay me a visit at the hospital?”

“Fu Yu’s too busy,” Guan Ying answered in a gentle and composed manner. “Moreover, he looks pretty exhausted as he’s been traveling back and forth between the hospital and the company lately. I reckoned he might not have time to accompany you, so I wanted to pay you a visit with the intention of accompanying you and chatting with you as I was afraid you might feel bored from staying at the hospital for so long. It’s good for your health too if I can relieve some of your boredom too.”

Shen Lu nodded in agreement and said in a kind tone. “Changqing, I have a sudden craving for fresh strawberries from the store near the hospital entrance. Can you buy some for Auntie?”

“Sure thing. Well then, Xiao Ying, you stay and have a good chat with Auntie.” Changqing had a hunch Shen Lu wanted to have a chat with Guan Ying privately, so after she lightly encouraged Guan Ying, she promptly left the ward.

——-

After the door was shut, Shen Lu began to drink some water. Once she was done, the amiable expression on her face disappeared. “Guan Ying, I have some things to tell you and it wasn’t convenient to say them with Changqing around as you are, after all, her friend. However, you should understand clearly in your heart that my son doesn’t like you at all.”

Guan Ying’s face turned pale unnaturally.

Meanwhile, Shen Lu carried on. “You don’t have to put in so much effort to gain my affection. You should know better than anyone else why the two of you are in a relationship in the first place. I don’t dislike you, but there’s a woman occupying my son’s heart already. I’m very certain that he will never marry you, so it’s best if you grab yourself something tangible while you’re still young. Don’t waste your efforts in pursuing unrealistic goals.”

“Auntie, I really love Fu Yu...” Guan Ying didn’t expect Shen Lu to be so straightforward. Her face kept turning from red to white and vice versa. She felt extremely awkward and agonized.

Who was the person who occupied Fu Yu’s heart? She mulled over the various possibilities.

“You should leave immediately.” Shen Lu interrupted her, fatigue evident on her face. “You’ll face horrible consequences if Fu Yu ever finds out you came here today. He loathes women who do unnecessary things behind his back.”

No matter how thick-skinned Guan Ying was, she was too embarrassed to remain in the ward any longer, especially when Shen Lu had already showed her the door so bluntly.

“Then... Auntie, I’ll be leaving now.” She walked out of the ward with her eyes slightly red.

She felt pained and furious inside.

She could sense that Shen Lu looked down on her whereas when facing Changqing, she smiled sweetly at her. As expected, it’s because I don’t have a strong family background.

Could it be that Changqing caught Shen Lu’s fancy and she wanted Changqing to become her daughter-in-law? Was the person occupying Fu Yu’s heart Changqing as well?
