Zhao Mengjin’s face turned cold: "You don’t need to mock me in such a professional tone, do you think I don’t know you’re a doctor?"

Tang Sili put one hand in his pocket, feeling amused: "Yes, I’m a doctor, so I never joke with a patient."

"I’m not your patient."

"But you are a patient."

His words angered her. She jumped forward a few steps, directly standing before him: "Tang Sili, I’m telling you, I don’t care who you are, my feelings for you have nothing to do with your identity! You should take back that insulting mouth of yours. You seem well-mannered, do you really think you can act this way?"

The words splattered against his face, full of spittle. He seemed stunned.

Zhao Mengjin lifted the corners of her mouth. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

He turned his face away, as if admitting defeat, taking a pack of tissues from his pocket and pulling one out to wipe his face.

Seeing this motion, Zhao Mengjin blurted out: "Is my spit that dirty? You didn’t wipe it when I kissed you before."

She remembered that detail so clearly.

Tang Sili silently watched the tissue in his hand, eventually crumpling it up and tossing it into the trash can in the corner. As he turned to leave, his phone rang from his pocket.

He took out his phone, seeing it was a student’s number, his brow furrowed deeply once more. It’s possible that Ou Chunhua’s death might impact Ou Yanan. Now, Ou Yanan carries a heavy burden.

"Not going to answer?"

Tang Sili glanced across her face, saying: "Why don’t you tell him that his foster mother died saving me in a car accident."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mengjin’s face registered shock. The kind of shock akin to watching a mountain suddenly collapse.

"What, what did you say?" Zhao Mengjin gasped twice.

"Are you worried about that woman?"

"No, I’m—" Zhao Mengjin couldn’t articulate her feelings at the moment, only knowing that this event would certainly be a devastating blow to Ou Yanan.

Tang Sili didn’t care about her feelings, forcing the phone into her hand: "Answer it. Remember, he holds your cousin’s life in his hands now."

Zhao Mengjin shivered again, glaring fiercely at the man before her: "You’re really inhumane!"

Knowing how difficult it was for her, he still forced the phone into her hand.

"Didn’t you just say you’d do anything for your uncle and aunt’s family?" Tang Sili raised an eyebrow at her.

His appearance now was more sinister than his usual indifference, making her feel a surge to strangle him.

The phone rang loudly, without stopping. The person on the other end must be quite persistent.

Thinking of the person far away in the United States, Zhao Mengjin held back, pressing the answer button with one hand.

"Professor—" Ou Yanan said impatiently from the other end, "I heard... I don’t know if what I heard is—"

"Yes—" Zhao Mengjin replied, "What you know is true."

Suddenly there was silence from Ou Yanan’s side, deathly quiet.

Zhao Mengjin struggled to find words to comfort him: "Yanan, listen to me, this incident was an accident, and yet not an accident. Rest assured, the culprit will be brought to justice. Besides, she wasn’t that good of a person."

"Why is my teacher’s phone with you?"

"He, he just went to the bathroom, I helped him answer—" Zhao Mengjin said, even she felt her excuse was ridiculously unbelievable.
