Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s-Chapter 1827: Senior Brother Comes Over
Xie Wanying immediately seized the opportunity, picked up her phone, and without much thought, answered the call.
"Hello, who is it?" She turned around, pretending to have an enthusiastic call with the other person, to dodge Teacher Tan’s gaze for now.
"Yingying?"
The person on the other end was startled by her unusual tone.
It was Senior Cao. Xie Wanying’s heart panicked even more, unsure whether this call was good or bad.
"Yingying." Confirming it was her, Cao Yong said, "I just got back and saw the message from Teacher Ren. He had to go out."
"Yes, Teacher Ren went out, accompanying a classmate of ours," Xie Wanying said, just realizing that Senior Cao had been on a business trip for the past few days.
Upon returning and hearing she had caused a big incident at Beidou Third Hospital, Cao Yong was definitely calling to ask about her and see if she was okay.
"Do you have any issues?" Cao Yong asked, intending to inquire about the previous incident.
"No, nothing, Senior Cao," Xie Wanying said.
There was silence on both ends. Xie Wanying covered her mouth: Oh no, her words were too obvious.
It’s just too difficult to lie in front of a group of top-performing teachers and seniors. Xie Wanying sighed internally. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
Cao Yong, holding the phone, didn’t know whether to laugh or cry; her insistence on saying it was nothing only made his heart worry more. Only those with issues are quick to say there’s no issue.
"Is that Cao Yong’s call?"
The voice of Teacher Tan came from behind.
"Give me his phone."
Turning back, Xie Wanying handed the phone over to Teacher Tan with both hands. She could only hope that the kindest Senior Cao would say something nice on her behalf.
Receiving the student’s glance, Tan Kelin was surprised, wondering why this student thought Cao Yong would say something nice for her. Everyone at the hospital knew Cao Yong was the least likely to deliberately speak well of others. Cao Yong was famous for his straightforwardness.
With the phone in hand, Tan Kelin walked to the side to talk to Cao Yong.
Without letting her know what he was discussing with Senior Cao, Xie Wanying stood in place waiting.
After a while, Tan Kelin came back and asked Cui Shaofeng, "Is there a place to sit?"
This indicated they were waiting for someone to come over.
Cui Shaofeng led the two of them to the café that Xie Wanying had visited that afternoon.
Several people sat there. Liu Li made an early excuse about being busy with work to slip away, as even a fool could see that her cousin was in a foul mood and could explode at any moment.
About half an hour later, Cao Yong hurriedly appeared at the entrance of the café.
Without an umbrella, he ran from the car, snowflakes clinging to his hair. Cao Yong patted off the snow on his body and hair before entering. From a distance, seeing her sitting motionlessly opposite Tan Kelin, Cao Yong frowned, recalling what Tan Kelin had said on the phone: Tonight’s matter is quite serious.
This seriousness did not refer to the unreasonable accusations and harassment from the patient’s family but to her unprecedented level of concealment of the situation.
"Yingying." Approaching the table where they sat, he stopped beside her, placing a hand on her shoulder.
Senior Cao had arrived. Xie Wanying’s heart gave a couple of nervous flutters. Perhaps she recalled what Senior Cao had told her during that emergency at Xuanwu. Senior Cao’s attitude toward such matters was no different from Teacher Tan’s.
"Let me take a look, okay?" Cao Yong bent down, speaking softly and cautiously to her lowered face.
Senior Cao changed his approach with her. The more he interacted with her, the more he realized that she responded better to a soft approach rather than a hard one. His current tone was as if coaxing a child, persuading her to lower her guard.
