The handsome guy next door loves to flirt.

Chapter 238 Who Provoked You?

Mingyuan's assistant was replaced by someone who had just graduated a year ago. Ma Yi had become a licensed physician and went to work at another hospital. The group would occasionally meet up to hang out. Moreover, Ma Yi had gotten married six months ago, achieving success in both his career and love life.

Mingyuan's assistant knew his wife, the director's wife, because Xu Ruo often came to the hospital. The doctors and nurses in the department all knew that the director's wife had a bad temper, which killed off a lot of Mingyuan's potential suitors. No one dared to have designs on Mingyuan, who was already married.

Xu Ruo went to the private room in the inpatient department as instructed by her assistant. Who was this Mingyuan patient? He was staying in a private room! Moreover, her assistant secretly told her that Mingyuan was very special to her, and that he was a woman. So last night, he stayed in the hospital for her surgery and didn't go home. Well done, Chen Mingyuan! He dared to hide it from her and secretly flirt with someone in the hospital, and in front of so many acquaintances. Wasn't he ashamed?

Xu Ruo was filled with rage and murderous intent. She opened the door and immediately shouted, "Chen Mingyuan, you are shameless..." She stopped there.

She saw Mingyuan standing in front of the hospital bed, and at the same time, she also saw clearly the person on the bed.

"Damn Xiao Qiu, what are you doing here?" Xu Ruo's voice weakened considerably as she said this. She was speechless, having been tricked twice by the same woman.

Mingyuan turned to his own woman, who had been radiating murderous intent but now looked like a wilted flower, and frowned as he called out, "Come here! Talk to her. She's a woman, so it should be easier to talk to her."

When Mingyuan saw that Xiaoqiu was awake early in the morning, he asked her why she wanted to commit suicide. However, Xiaoqiu kept crying and refused to say a word, so Mingyuan couldn't do anything about it.

Mingyuan left after speaking; he still had work to do and couldn't stay there indefinitely.

Xu Ruo looked at Mingyuan as he walked away, bewildered. Then she went to the hospital bed and saw the bandage wrapped around his wrist. Remembering what Mingyuan had said earlier, she immediately realized that Xiao Qiu was just being difficult and causing trouble. Really! She had worried all night, thinking that her husband was cheating on her.

"Tell me, what made the famous actress Tan Xiaoqiu, who seems to thrive on men's indiscretions, do something so foolish? I won't laugh at you!"

Xiao Qiu turned her head inside, not wanting to see the woman's arrogant attitude. So what if she met a good husband? Her husband was as outstanding and capable as her brother, and he came from a good family. She lived such a good life. Unlike her, whose fate was so miserable. At this moment, the last person she wanted to see was her.

"Say something, let's see if we can help you!" Seeing that the woman was ignoring her, Xu Ruo thought that she was Mingyuan's sister and in this state, so she suppressed her disgust and decided to ask her. In case she did something rash, it would be her Mingyuan who would suffer.

"Tell me, in Nancheng, you know my family. Anyone with influence has to give my family some face." Sitting in the chair, wearing high heels, she got tired after standing for only a short while. She had dressed up especially sexily because she was here to confront the mistress. Wearing stiletto heels is truly exhausting.

After a long wait, just as Xu Ruo was about to turn and leave, Xiao Qiu suddenly asked, "What about the Gu family?"

"Which Gu family? There are many Gu families in Nancheng, Gu family... wait, you mean the Gu family? Which member of the Gu family offended you?"

"Gu Yunhuan!"

"Gu Yunhuan, isn't that Ashu's younger sister? What did she do to offend you?" Xu Ruo asked with amusement. These two women were both restless and equally matched.

"She stole my boyfriend! That woman is so awful. She's got such a good family background. We were even talking about marriage when she suddenly came between us. Not only did she steal my boyfriend, but she also got someone to take away the role I was supposed to play in the movie. And now she's spreading rumors in the industry that I'm a homewrecker. I've tried so hard to clear my name, but it's no use. My family background isn't as good as hers, and I don't have any powerful connections... Waaah... Why am I so unlucky..."

"Tsk tsk tsk, to put it bluntly, you're making a scene over a man. That man is so fickle; even if he hadn't met Gu Yunhuan, he would have been seduced by another woman. What's the point of having a man like that? It's just that Gu Yunshu, that bitch, really deserves a beating. I've always disliked her. A woman who's been divorced several times can still be so arrogant and domineering. I guess you're just too easy to bully and have too low emotional intelligence. Even after a few years of being sad, you're still not doing well and haven't amounted to much." Xu Ruo said disdainfully, completely ignoring the fact that Xiao Qiu's face had already turned black.

"Are you trying to comfort me or insult me?" Mingyuan walked in again as soon as he finished speaking.

He was a little worried. The two women had never gotten along. He must have been out of his mind to let Xu Ruo stay and comfort Xiao Qiu. His wife was not good at comforting people. She was fine as long as she didn't upset Xiao Qiu. So he came over to check on her again.

Seeing Mingyuan come in, Xu Ruo stopped nagging and said, "Alright, you're hospitalized and no one is taking care of you. I'll have my servants come and look after you. Mingyuan has to work, so he can't come to see you all the time. Besides, I'll get jealous. As for Gu Yunhuan, don't worry, someone will deal with her soon. Actually, you really did commit suicide for nothing. Just focus on recovering and then we can deal with Gu Yunhuan together."

"Seriously, someone wants to teach that woman a lesson too."

"Of course, that woman offended too many people, it's time for her to get her comeuppance. So look at you now, you look like a ghost, you're awful. What man would want you with this ghostly makeup?" Actually, Xiao Qiu was just not wearing makeup, and she had lost a lot of blood, so her face was very pale. Xu Ruo was exaggerating a bit.

"Get out, get out. I don't want to see you, woman."

"Hey, I'm still your sister-in-law, you know. Forget it, I'm not going to stay." With that, she turned and was about to leave.

Mingyuan sighed helplessly at the two of them; sure enough, they were bound to start arguing after just a few words. He told Xiaoqiu to take good care of herself and then went out with her. Judging from the way Xiaoqiu had chased him away earlier, it seemed she had recovered and wouldn't be thinking about doing anything drastic again.

"Mingyuan, my feet hurt." Xu Ruo sat on the sofa in Mingyuan's office, took off her shoes, and rubbed her feet, complaining.

"Who told you to wear such high heels? And why did you suddenly come here, dressed like this? Who are you trying to seduce?" After saying that, he pulled up Xu Ruo's strapless bra, revealing part of her underwear. It was so revealing that it would make anyone's mind wander. He had never seen her dressed so sexily before. Of course, if she was only dressed for him, he wouldn't have any objections.

"It's because you didn't come home last night, so I thought I'd come and check on you, and that's why I dressed up a little."

"Oh! Did you catch the mistress?"

"Hehe! That... was a misunderstanding..."

"Xu Ruo, we've been married for several years, don't you still trust me?"

"Haha, no, I trust my husband the most." Xu Ru laughed, realizing that her Mingyuan wasn't so easy to deal with.

"Then why are you dressed like this? Are you trying to seduce someone, or... to arrest someone?"
