Chapter 59 The Problem with Li Tingting

A heart condition, combined with rare panda blood—this really was a serious issue.

Jiang Chongming told her not to cry, said he would think of a solution, comforted her briefly, and then hung up the phone.

“Acting like this… won’t make her suspicious, will it?”

Everyone turned to look at Ruan Yaoyao.

【Wait… is that question for me?】

Ruan Yaoyao was stunned. Was this question meant for everyone?

But with so many people staring at her, she had no choice but to answer, “Probably not? With her personality, once she falls in love with someone, she’ll believe whatever he says. But if you don’t show up by her side immediately, she’ll probably feel very hurt…”

【After all, she’s the female lead.】

【That’s how it’s written in novels—whenever the female lead encounters trouble, the male lead always appears immediately to comfort her.】

【If you don’t show up right away, aren’t you just giving someone else an opportunity?】

【Although…】

Ruan Yaoyao glanced at Wei Kaihao.

【The male supporting character is already here, so there probably won’t be another sucker, right?】

…

Meanwhile, after having her call hung up, Li Tingting squatted at the hospital entrance, crying her heart out.

Anyone who saw her might think she had just gone through a breakup.

After all, when she had come looking for someone earlier, she had already attracted quite a bit of attention. The young nurses there were all seasoned internet surfers—what gossip had they not seen? Their imaginations ran wild.

“Hey, see that girl? Looks like she came to find Doctor Jiang.”

“Doctor Jiang? Which one? You mean the one from the nutrition department?”

“Oh please, that one’s about to retire. I’m talking about the star of internal medicine.”

“Jiang Chongming?!”

Shock.

Jiang Chongming was practically the hospital’s most eligible bachelor. Ever since he joined, countless young women had developed crushes on him. Even she herself had been infatuated once.

But unfortunately, not long after, news came out that he was already married—he had said it himself.

Sigh… she had no choice but to give up, content with just admiring him from afar.

The nurse nodded. “That’s him!”

“No way! Doctor Jiang is so disciplined—how could he have an affair? If he wanted one, there are plenty of girls in this hospital who like him. Why would he need to look outside?”

And honestly, that woman didn’t even look as pretty as the “department beauties” in their hospital.

A pair of polished leather shoes stopped in Li Tingting’s line of sight. Then a hand wearing a diamond Rolex watch extended toward her, holding a tissue.

Li Tingting froze for a moment and looked up with tear-filled eyes.

Her eyes, freshly washed by tears, were as clear as a deer’s—innocent and endearing.

Their gazes met, and in that instant, it felt like time stood still.

Wu Xiangyu felt as though he had returned to his school days, seeing the “white moonlight” of his youth—so beautiful that it seemed to brighten the whole world.

Without realizing it, his voice softened. “Are you okay?”

In Li Tingting’s eyes, this middle-aged man looked quite handsome—curly hair reaching his ears, a full beard, and an overall artistic aura.

“I… I’m fine…”

She said that, but tears fell like pearls from the corners of her eyes.

Anyone could tell she was lying.

“If you’ve run into trouble, you can tell me. I might not be able to help, but I believe I’d be a good listener.”

“Really?”

“Really!” Wu Xiangyu nodded seriously.

Li Tingting pursed her lips and softly told him that she couldn’t find her boyfriend.

“How could that be? Did you call him?”

“I did, but after just a few words, he hung up. He sounded impatient… Has he grown tired of me?” she said pitifully. “I know I’m not good enough. My mom is seriously ill, and my family has no money. I don’t deserve him… But I really love him. I really, really do…”

“What a scumbag! Didn’t he know your situation when he started dating you? Now that he’s got you, he doesn’t cherish you anymore. Don’t cry—tell me who he is, and I’ll help you find him.”

“His name is Jiang Chongming. He’s a doctor at this hospital…”

“Jiang Chongming?!” Wu Xiangyu was shocked. The person he had been assigned to interview was also Jiang Chongming.

He clearly remembered the profile stating that Jiang Chongming was married.

“You’re sure? Jiang as in the ‘grass radical’ Jiang, and Chongming as in ‘seeing the light again’?”

“Yes, that’s him. Do you know him?”

“I…”

Wu Xiangyu suddenly felt reluctant. Looking at Li Tingting’s innocent face, he even began to suspect that she had been deceived by this seemingly respectable but rotten scumbag.

What’s the use of great medical skills if his character is flawed?

Toying with a young girl’s feelings!

Wu Xiangyu crouched down and wiped the tears from her face.

Li Tingting felt a bit embarrassed but didn’t refuse. She found him gentle, like a “father.”

Having lost her father at a young age, she felt a kind of warmth from him that she had never experienced before.

—

To prevent any accidents, Jiang Chongming “requested” that Ruan Yaoyao and the others accompany him back to the hospital. If he were to be “controlled” again, he asked them to help take care of his wife.

Looking at Wei Puyu, Jiang Chongming’s face was full of reluctance.

But there was no choice—the hospital director had personally called him to come back, so he had to go.

What Jiang Chongming never expected, however, was that the director had called him back not for anything else, but because someone had brought Li Tingting to report him—accusing him of cheating in his marriage and deceiving others’ feelings.

Jiang Chongming stared at Li Tingting and the man beside her in shock.

Although he had lost his memories from the time he was “controlled,” he still remembered Li Tingting. After all, Wei Kaihao had been the one who brought her to the hospital.

At the time, he had noticed Wei Kaihao’s interest in her and thought she might become his future “sister-in-law,” so he had taken extra care of her.

He never imagined that this bit of “care” would cause Li Tingting to misunderstand him, and even lead her to attempt to “control” him into falling in love with her and dating her.

Yes, that’s right.

Even without anyone explaining, Jiang Chongming was convinced that everything was Li Tingting’s doing. Perhaps she even knew exactly what was going on and acted deliberately.

Facing the aggressive questioning from the man opposite him, Jiang Chongming couldn’t refute anything. He had only lost his memory, not his intelligence. The evidence presented was enough to prove that Li Tingting had come to the hospital many times specifically to see him—he had no proof to show that their relationship was innocent.

All he could say was that when Li Tingting first came to the hospital, she had been brought by his wife’s younger brother, and he had assumed she was his future “sister-in-law.”

“Hah! You’re still making excuses!” Wu Xiangyu sneered. “If what you’re saying is true, then what about these messages you sent Tingting? Did your phone magically generate them?”

The hospital director looked at the explicit messages, his face filled with shock.

Based on his understanding of Jiang Chongming, it didn’t seem like something he would say—but the problem was…

The profile picture was indeed Jiang Chongming’s. It didn’t look like someone was impersonating him.

The director even kindly asked Jiang Chongming to explain, telling him not to be afraid—the hospital would believe him and give him justice.

But what could Jiang Chongming say?

He had no solid evidence on his side.

He simply looked at Wu Xiangyu and suddenly asked, “Do you like her?”

Wu Xiangyu’s expression changed slightly.

He had indeed fallen for Li Tingting at first sight; otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone out of his way to stand up for her. But today’s matter had nothing to do with that. He told Jiang Chongming not to change the subject—he was a journalist, just doing his job.

He said he felt deeply disappointed. Before this, he had admired Jiang Chongming’s medical skills and believed he was a rising star in medicine. But today, he realized that even if someone had exceptional skills, poor character made them unworthy of respect.

The disappointment on his face made it seem as though Jiang Chongming had committed something truly unforgivable.
