Chapter 64

"Ha! ——"

As soon as Chu Nan's words fell, Ye Yao couldn't help but burst out laughing.

She never imagined that Chu Nan could use such clever words to harshly scold Gao Xi. More importantly, Chu Nan didn't use a single dirty word from start to finish, leaving Gao Xi speechless.

Gao Xi was used to bullying people in the hospital.

Due to his remarkable background, many people in the hospital treated him with great respect, even high-ranking figures like department heads and hospital directors would converse with him. This was because Gao Xi was from the famous Gao family in Beijing.

The Gao family had a history of over two hundred years, and in the medical field, the key was to recognize old brands and reputable names.

Even the simplest throat lozenges, regardless of their quality or effectiveness, people would subconsciously choose the old brand. The brand effect in the medical industry was very important, and it not only influenced the sales of medical products but also affected the status of certain individuals in the industry.

In the hospital, Gao Xi had bullied many young nurses who lacked background and were honest. This was not a secret to some people, but everyone dared to be angry but not to speak out. At most, they would privately say that Gao Xi was a rather fickle man.

More importantly, there were indeed many nurses in the hospital with unknown intentions who would actively approach Gao Xi. After all, if one could become part of the Gao family, their status in the medical industry would be significantly elevated. Every industry and every circle has its own unwritten rules, and some people are willing, while others are not.

At least, from the day Ye Yao met Gao Xi, she had no good impression of him, let alone agreeing to his pursuit.

Gao Xi wasn't ugly, and with his luxury car, designer clothes, and neat appearance, he seemed very impressive. He was confident he could win Ye Yao's heart. Ye Yao was the first woman to make him so moved. To be frank, except for some large beauty pageants or highly photoshopped fashion magazine covers, Gao Xi had never seen a woman as beautiful and charming as Ye Yao in real life. Whether it was her appearance, figure, temperament, voice, or family background, she was absolutely a top-notch beauty.

Most importantly...

36D, right? Isn't that amazing? A real chest weapon, how brutal!

"… Do you… know how foolish your behavior just now was?" Gao Xi's face turned from green to white, and he finally gritted his teeth and said these words to Chu Nan.

Chu Nan was afraid of many things, but he had never been afraid of threats.

He stared at Gao Xi without averting his eyes, his eyes still carrying a faint smile, without any hostility or retreat, just a simple, gentle smile. This look made Gao Xi very uncomfortable, and his dislike for Chu Nan increased rapidly, at a speed of over 180 kilometers per second.

When Chu Nan said those words, Ye Yao felt a sense of relief. She hadn't felt so happy in a long time. Over the past six months, Gao Xi had thoroughly disgusted her.

Ye Yao never expected that the person who would stand up for her would be Chu Nan, the so-called fraudster she had also despised.

Generally, fraudsters are very smart and wouldn't act heroically without reason; they are mostly opportunistic. Chu Nan's actions made Ye Yao momentarily doubt and waver—had she really misunderstood him before?

Thinking of this, Ye Yao gently tugged at Chu Nan's clothes and then stood up to say to Gao Xi, "Gao Xi, I know what kind of person you are. If my friend did anything to upset you today, direct your anger at me. The issues between you and me have nothing to do with others; don't take it out on my friend."

Chu Nan smiled inwardly: "Hehe, now she's protecting me. This big-breasted lady is indeed kind and straightforward. The first time I met her, she stood up for justice on the train. This time, I've become her friend."

He knew very well that Ye Yao's character wouldn't make her dislike someone without reason. Once the misunderstanding between them was resolved, Chu Nan was confident they could become close friends.

"Hmph." Gao Xi snorted coldly, about to speak, but at that moment, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

It was a slightly plump middle-aged woman in a white coat, who seemed anxious and said, "Phew! Finally found you! Doctor Gao, the old man who came to see you last month is here again! He looks very unwell and has been waiting in your office for a long time."

"Huh?"

Gao Xi, who was still angry, suddenly heard this news and frowned, his tone somewhat unfriendly, "Which old man? Doesn't he have a name?"

The middle-aged nurse, knowing Gao Xi's background, didn't show any displeasure at his tone: "Seems to be… surnamed Zhou, called Zhou… Zhou…"

"Zhou Yongfu?" Gao Xi raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Yes! That's him, Zhou Yongfu."

"It's Old Mr. Zhou… who came?" Gao Xi frowned, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes, but also some worry, a complex expression.

However, it was certain that Gao Xi wouldn't dare to be disrespectful to this old man named Zhou Yongfu. He immediately turned around and glared at Chu Nan, "You're Chu Nan, right? I'll remember you!"

Saying this, he turned and left the rest room.

"Chu Nan… thank you for speaking up for me just now."

Just as Chu Nan was about to turn and say goodbye to Ye Yao, Ye Yao hesitated for a long time before finally saying these words.

Chu Nan turned around, still with that smile, "I wasn't helping you; I was speaking for myself."

Hearing this, Ye Yao was taken aback. This guy was still so insensitive… But after what happened, Ye Yao's impression of Chu Nan had somewhat improved. So, she opened up to him, "What did you come to see me for today?"

She felt that Chu Nan had a very unique aura, one that was elusive and unpredictable, both positive and negative, making it impossible to figure out his true nature. Sometimes, you would really dislike his behavior, but other times, you would inexplicably feel a bit of goodwill towards him.

Chu Nan's appearance could only be considered slightly above average, and his clothing style was rather old-fashioned. Apart from being somewhat fair-skinned, he had no connection with terms like "handsome" or "rich and handsome."

But this person made Ye Yao often doubt her own aesthetic judgment.

"Of course, I want to resolve the misunderstanding between us. And I hope we can become friends." Chu Nan still had that harmless smile, his white teeth and bright smile like the blooming flowers of spring, warm and sunny.
