The Cultivator's Reborn to 1970s-Chapter 189 - 155

Zhou Yuwei left the ward, not even glancing at Su Qing and Jiang Xiaoshan, and ran off without looking back.

The nurses’ station at the corner of the second floor is there to facilitate inquiries from visiting family members or patients about any issues. A shout from either upstairs or downstairs could be heard clearly.

A few young nurses were chatting leisurely about their girlish concerns, and their faces blushed with shyness. Hearing the sound of hurried footsteps coming from the corridor, which usually meant that a patient’s condition had changed and their family was coming to call for help, the young nurses stopped their laughter and sat up straight to wait.

After recognizing the approaching person was someone familiar, the young nurses visibly relaxed.

"Weiwei, what are you rushing for? What’s happened with your guy again?" Cai Mingming teased with a smile.

She and Zhou Yuwei had joined the Military District Hospital at the same time and later shared the same dormitory. They were not in the same department, so there were no conflicts of interest between them, and they gradually became good friends.

Cai Mingming knew better than anyone about Zhou Yuwei’s decision to cut off her own prospects for a man. At that time, they were as close as if they were a single person, sharing their woes with each other. Zhou Yuwei had shared her troubles with her; that man was the one in room 236, seemingly a battalion commander, but Zhou Yuwei hadn’t gone into the details.

The man had been in the hospital for over a year, like a vegetative person, and his family had never come to visit. She had felt quite sorry for him, but it was Zhou Yuwei who took care of him meticulously—an affection from a woman so deep and an unwavering sentiment that filled others with both heartache and admiration.

The sprinting Zhou Yuwei, upon hearing her friend’s voice, had silent tears in her eyes filled with deep heartbreak, panic, and helpless emotion that flickered across her face.

Cai Mingming was taken aback and then came over to pull her, "What’s wrong? Who has bullied you?"

People were dragged into the nurses’ station by Cai Mingming, sitting there silently, looking utterly dejected.

Who had struck her down?

The other young nurses were curious, crowding around, wanting to know the gossip about the situation.

Cai Mingming was getting more anxious with her questions, and Zhou Yuwei covered her face and sobbed, "Stop asking, please, Mingming."

Zhou Yuwei cried like a wounded animal, feeling very aggrieved and heartbroken, while Cai Mingming on the side became increasingly anxious and stamped her foot in frustration, not knowing how to comfort Zhou Yuwei not knowing what had happened.

Zhou Yuwei, with her face covered, hooked her lips into a cold smile, thinking, Lan Tian, you’ll get what’s coming to you.

"Just tell us what happened, what grievances have you suffered? If you don’t speak, who’s going to know?" As Cai Mingming stamped her foot and comforted Zhou Yuwei, she noticed the eyes of a few nurses around watching the excitement with glee and pulled Zhou Yuwei towards the dormitory, "Let’s go, this isn’t the place to talk. We can talk about any issues back at the dorm." freewebnσvel.cøm

After that man arrived at the hospital, Zhou Yuwei moved back as well, and the two of them started living together again. When she returned to her dorm, finding no one else around, Zhou Yuwei lay on her bed and wept inconsolably. Cai Mingming beat around the bush until she extracted the whole story from Zhou Yuwei, feeling that her friend’s efforts were in vain and showing contempt for the strange woman who had just arrived.

What kind of person was she? Nothing but a bumpkin from the countryside, causing Zhou Yuwei to cry as soon as she arrived, and even driving people away to monopolize Zhou Yuwei’s man, such a shameless woman.

Hmph, she wanted to see for herself who this monstrous shrew was.

"Okay, don’t be sad. Everyone in the hospital has seen what you’ve done for him, and it’s no exaggeration to say you’ve been working like an ox and a horse, with a heart toiling to pieces. They say a long illness makes the patient’s son lose filial piety, and it’s so true. Look, in all this long time, has anyone from his family come to see him? No, not a single one. Now some bumpkin pops out of nowhere thinking she can take over; she can’t. You are bullied because your heart is too soft. I’ll go have a look at who this monstrous shrew is."

Cai Mingming rolled up her sleeves and patted Zhou Yuwei’s shoulder comfortingly, "You rest well in the dorm. I’ll go have a look."

After the person left, Zhou Yuwei lowered her hands from her face and went to the shower room to freshen up before heading out. She took a familiar path, turning left and right, heading towards the building in front, up to the fourth floor, and walked to one of the rooms. Seeing no one around, she took out a spare key from her pocket, opened the door briskly, and slipped inside.

Just as Chu Yang, who had just taken off his clothes and was about to change into a doctor’s coat, heard the sound of the key turning at the door, he didn’t bother to look outside but continued buttoning up, straightened some stray hair on his forehead in the mirror, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Zhou Yuwei walked straight up to Chu Yang, staring at him intently. After Zhou Yuwei didn’t respond for a long time, Chu Yang tilted his head and saw her intense gaze; her eyes slightly red as if she had been crying.

"What’s wrong? Who has bullied my darling?"

Chu Yang spoke carelessly, went over to hold her in an attempt to comfort her as if coaxing a child, but Zhou Yuwei’s gaze sharpened and she ungraciously pushed him away. The stiffness of Chu Yang’s smile froze for a second, and his eyes grew darker, his smile even more amiable, while Zhou Yuwei was still absorbed in the humiliation she had received from Lan Tian, not noticing the change in Chu Yang.

She beat his chest forcefully, expressing her frustration, and said resentfully, "Chu Yang, why are you so incompetent? It’s been almost two years, and you can’t even handle a little girl. Who was it that said, just humor her and follow you, it would only take a few days, and now you haven’t even touched a single hair on her head, yet you dare make tall claims. Let me tell you, if you can’t handle it, do as I say. If you dare ruin my plans, don’t blame me for being heartless."

How dare she threaten him!

His gaze turned cold as a venomous snake, Chu Yang pushed Zhou Yuwei away from his chest, seized her chin, and pressed her against the opposite wall. Zhou Yuwei had hidden in the hospital to take care of Mo Junhua for the past year, rarely going out in the sun, her skin had maintained a delicate paleness, and her cheek turned blue where his fingers pinched.

Chu Yang’s grip was strong, indifferent to the bluish mark on her skin, he even added a bit more force, causing Zhou Yuwei to instantly tear up, her face slightly twisted in pain as she struggled to pull away his hands.

"Who gave you the courage to talk to me like that? Huh?" Chu Yang’s voice was hushed, his breath hot and serpentine next to her ear, making Zhou Yuwei’s hair stand on end.

"Have you forgotten? If it weren’t for me, you’d still be an unnoticed nurse at that health clinic. Your status today, it’s all thanks to me. Do you think you could take care of your beloved Camp Commander Mo without my help? Down from the front lines, do you really think you’re a hero? Do you think you’re Mo Junhua?"

The two had been on good terms for many years, and sometimes Zhou Yuwei would throw tantrums at him, which Chu Yang would never take seriously when he was in a good mood, treating it as a flirtatious squabble. But this was the first time Zhou Yuwei saw the sinister look in Chu Yang’s eyes, and she was afraid. She didn’t know that before, when she got angry, Chu Yang was in a good mood and would interpret it as playful banter, not a big deal, but now she was threatening him, and worse, a woman trying to climb over his head, which would be a laughing stock if word got out.
