Chapter 248: Chapter 248: Complacency

“That just shows, this woman is very scheming,” Huo Yanzhao’s expression was as dark as water.

Initially, he underestimated this woman because she appeared to be a poor, ignorant girl.

The morning he woke up, he was filled with remorse and anger while she trembled beside him.

So, in the end, he only warned her and let her go.

Later, when he ran into her at the Four Seasons Bar, he thought she was just trying to make a living and even gave her some money to leave Yanzhou City.

But he hadn’t expected that this woman would show up in front of Xuefei without uttering a word after discovering she was pregnant…

Huo Yanzhao clenched his fists and fiercely pounded the table!

After a long silence, He Jingyao asked, “So, what do you plan to do?”

“Whether the child is mine or not, I can’t let it stay,” Huo Yanzhao said coldly.

“What about the party that day, have you investigated it?”

Huo Yanzhao nodded, his smile cynical, “It was General Manager Sheng from Shengxuan. I performed heart surgery on him six months ago, and now that he’s recovered well, he arranged this to show his gratitude.”

Even He Jingyao was momentarily speechless. Could someone actually repay kindness like this?

“It’s ridiculous that I even had to smile and thank him at that time!” Huo Yanzhao clenched his jaws in pain, “But the subsequent events should have nothing to do with him. Someone else must have secretly instigated Sun Qiuran.”

He Jingyao patted his shoulder, “If you need my help, just say the word.”

Huo Yanzhao managed a smile, “Yeah.”

Given his relationship with He Jingyao, there was no need to expressly say any words of gratitude. However…

“Let’s not tell anyone else for now,” he said with a bitter smile, “such embarrassing matters…”

If he didn’t absolutely need He Jingyao’s help, he might not have spoken up.

“I understand,” He Jingyao nodded. He hadn’t expressed any opinion about the matter from beginning to end.

He could see that for this matter, Huo Yanzhao was already the most tortured person. Any more blame would be of no help.

Besides, it was an issue between him and Yun Xuefei.

“I suddenly think it’s quite good for you,” Huo Yanzhao suddenly said self-mockingly, “at least this kind of thing will never happen to you.”

He Jingyao smiled noncommittally, “I should head back.”

“Okay,” Huo Yanzhao rubbed his forehead, “let’s get together another day.”

…

Not long after He Jingyao’s convoy left, Yun Xuefei arrived at Siming Hospital by car.

Looking at the white building in front of her, she felt an intense bitterness in her chest.

This place was never unfamiliar to her. From the time Huo Yanzhao began his internship until he became the chief surgeon and then the dean, he had spent most of his time here.

Back then, they weren’t married yet; she was just his girlfriend. Whenever she had time, she would come here with homemade soup or snacks for a brief date in his office, after which he would hurriedly give her a kiss before rushing to his next surgery or meeting.

Yun Xuefei never complained.

In her eyes, Huo Yanzhao, who saved one life after another, was incredibly attractive. In the operating room, he was the master, he was God.

So, after finishing two years of advanced training, even though there were better opportunities abroad, she did not hesitate to return.
