Jiang Tingxu didn’t even have the chance to say goodbye to Deng Peng and Doctor Liao before she was dragged away by the bossy Mo Boyuan. Mo Group’s legal team had stayed behind to get hold of the whole incident.
Meanwhile, Liao Jiayu and Deng Peng walked out of the police station in bewilderment.
“Dr. Deng, was that… was that really?”
“Beats me. I just found out too!”
“Wasn’t Dr. Jiang your junior in medical school?”
Deng Peng twitched the corner of his mouth. “How were you so sure that I’d know? We haven’t worked with each other in two years. When we meet in the hospital, usually we just greet each other. We don’t have time to dilly-dally about personal matters.” Not to mention, how could a man be a gossiper?
Liao Jiayu had suddenly recalled something. “Dr. Deng, you didn’t know, did you? Dr. Jiang got married young, and she had a son.”
Deng Peng shook his head. “I really didn’t know.”
Doctor Liao clicked his tongue. “You really failed as her senior.”
Deng Peng chuckled. “Did you know about it in the first place then?”
It wasn’t only Deng Peng who was unaware of it. He bet his professor was kept in the dark too. A few days ago, he had even heard the professor babbling about setting up a blind date for Jiang Tingxu.
Liao Jiayu coughed. “I did know about her marriage long ago, but I’d just found out who her husband was.”
It was too shocking. Anyone who’d watched the headlines would have known who Mo Boyuan was. Although Doctor Liao hadn’t got the time to follow the news, he still had a wife and daughter back at home. Oh, right, wasn’t Mo Boyuan her daughter’s favorite idol?
“Dr. Deng, are we not supposed to reveal their marriage to the public?” It was said that celebrities were very secretive about their relationships. If they accidentally leaked the information, would they be sued?
Deng Peng had thought about this, and he nodded. “Definitely. We can’t tell anyone. Otherwise, it would cause a lot of trouble for Tingxu.” He was protective over her as her senior.
“Indeed. Nowadays, fans are crazy. Not long ago, our department had almost made it on the news because of a female celebrity.”
“A celebrity? Who was it? Why didn’t I know about it?”
“Oh, you didn’t? She was quite famous for a while. Lu Yanlan—do you know her? She even got an award overseas for best actress.”
Eh?
“Of course I know who she was, but wasn’t she canceled? I heard she was sued by her own agency and banned from the entertainment industry.”
Liao Jiayu shook his head. “Well, IDK about that. Hey, my ride is here.”
Deng Peng looked at his phone. “My ride would be here in a minute. You go on. I’ll see you around.”
“Alright.”
…
At this moment, Mo Boyuan was driving while Jiang Tingxu was sitting in the passenger seat.
He seemed to be in a good mood. “What happened today? Was it a dispute between doctors and patients?” His voice was soft.
Jiang Tingxu shook her head. “It’s not a dispute involving us doctors. It’s a dispute between the patients.”
Hearing that she wasn’t entangled in the mess, he relaxed his tense jaw. “Good then. As long as you’re alright.”
Jiang Tingxu pursed her lips and muttered, “What else could’ve happened to me?”
“Just because you are fine doesn’t mean you could sit out of it the next time. It was just a feud between the patients today, but you would never know if something like this would happen to you doctors in the future.”
