Chapter 334 Misunderstanding
Jiang Yuzhu's heart beat rapidly, but she forced herself to maintain a calm appearance.
She knew very well that what Chen Ting needed at this moment was a voice of reason, not more emotion.
"Listen, take a deep breath, did you see something wrong somewhere?" Jiang Yuzhu comforted softly, trying to calm Chen Ting down.
Chen Ting sniffed on the other end of the phone and tried to keep his voice steady.
"I...I originally wanted to surprise him and go to the hospital to have dinner with him at noon. I saw him sitting very close to a beautiful-looking woman in business attire in the garden of the hospital. .They...they were sitting together, talking and laughing."
Jiang Yuzhu was stunned for a second.
Possibilities quickly swirled in his mind.
"Listen, could that woman be a distant relative of Ze Rong? Maybe someone you haven't seen before?"
Jiang Yuzhu's voice was soft, trying not to let his worries show through his voice.
Chen Ting's answer was almost immediate and somewhat decisive.
"No, Yu Zhu, I know you are comforting me, but I have met all his relatives. I have never seen that woman before. The look in her eyes..."
There was a pain of betrayal in Chen Ting's voice, "There was an indescribable... intimacy in the way she looked at Ze Rong."
Jiang Yuzhu secretly planned in her heart that she wanted to see Chen Ting as soon as possible, and at the same time she also needed to understand the entire situation.
"Listen, you wait for me at the bar, I will come find you later."
Jiang Yuzhu spoke firmly, "Don't do anything impulsive now, and don't make blind guesses. Let's face it together."
"Well, I'll wait for you." Chen Ting's voice was still crying, but it seemed to have gained some stability.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yuzhu immediately dialed Zhou Zerong's number.
After the call was connected, Zhou Zerong's voice was low and calm: "Yuzhu? What's the matter with calling so early?"
Jiang Yuzhu did not get directly to the topic, but said it in a steady tone.
"Zerong, I went to the hospital to see you at noon today. She saw some scenes that made her uncomfortable. I think if you have time now, you might as well talk to her. She is over there at the bar now, maybe I need your explanation."
Zhou Zerong was silent for a moment, and then replied: "I understand, thank you for telling me, I'll be there right away."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly packed up and headed to the bar.
Jiang Yuzhu walked into the warm bar and saw Chen Ting sitting alone in a corner seat, with a glass of untouched wine looking particularly deserted.
"Listen." Jiang Yuzhu called gently and sat opposite Chen Ting.
Chen Ting raised his teary eyes and tried to smile, but like withered flowers, the sadness remained.
"Zerong said he would be here soon, so let's not be too sad yet."
Chen Ting nodded slightly, letting tears well up in his eyes, and tried his best to hold back the unshed tears.
Not long after, the door of the bar was gently pushed open, and Zhou Zerong's figure appeared at the door. Next to him, a woman wearing exquisite professional attire stood.
They walked towards Chen Ting and Jiang Yuzhu's table.
"Listen, I'm really sorry you misunderstood."
Zhou Zerong's voice was low and full of apology, "This is my cousin. She has been studying abroad. She just came back today."
Zhou Zeqing walked lightly. She stood in front of Chen Ting, with a gentle confidence in her smile, and stretched out her hand with a gentle etiquette.
"Listen, it's our first time meeting you. My name is Zhou Zeqing. I'm sorry that you misunderstood what happened today. Ze Rong and I are relatives. We haven't seen each other for many years. I paid a sudden visit today." He looked at Chen Ting with a warm smile.
Chen Ting's face turned red and white, embarrassment and self-blame intertwined in the tears in her eyes.
She stood up in a hurry and took Zhou Zerong's hand to the side.
"Zerong, why didn't you tell me earlier..."
Chen Ting's tone was full of complaints and grievances, his voice was slightly choked, and his eyes flickered with uneasiness.
"I was crying like that, do you know how sad I was?"
She almost really thought Zhou Zerong had cheated on her.
Scared to death.
Zhou Zerong's eyes were full of helplessness and tenderness. He sighed softly, took her into his arms, and sounded a steady voice in a low voice.
"Listen, today happened so suddenly. My cousin came to visit unexpectedly. I didn't even have time to tell you, and you, you didn't even give me a chance to explain, so you ran away in a hurry."
Jiang Yuzhu looked at the two of them and smiled slightly, easing the tense atmosphere.
"Isn't this a good thing? It's all a misunderstanding and an own mistake. It's good to get rid of it."
She continued softly, "This matter is over. Let's go have a meal together at noon. It can also be regarded as celebrating the elimination of the misunderstanding and cousin Ze Rong's return to China."
Chen Ting turned to Jiang Yuzhu and showed a somewhat exaggerated but sincere smile.
"Yuzhu, you're right, let's have a meal and forget all about this bad thing today!"
Zhou Zeqing also joined the conversation. She apologized softly: "I'm so sorry, Chen Ting. A sudden misunderstanding made you feel bad."
Chen Ting waved his hand and said with a carefree look, "It's all over now, don't mention it. I just made another friend, right?"
After saying that, she looked at Zhou Zerong with a smile on her face.
After eating, as soon as Jiang Yuzhu stepped into the research institute, the phone rang quickly, dragging her back from the comfort of the afternoon to the white world.
It was an urgent notification from the operating room that required her to participate in a complex operation immediately.
"Dr. Jiang, we need your expertise here." The nurse's voice came through the phone, nervous and urgent.
Jiang Yuzhu simply replied: "I'll be there right away."
He quickly walked towards the operating room, even putting on his white coat in a hurry as he walked.
In the operating room, the silver instruments reflected dazzling light, and the air was filled with the smell of disinfectant.
Jiang Yuzhu quickly entered the role, her technique was stable and precise, and she was completely immersed in the rhythm of the operation.
Time passed slowly in the tense atmosphere. When the last stitch was completed, the clock on the wall had already pointed to ten o'clock in the evening.
Jiang Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief. There was both exhaustion and satisfaction in her eyes - this is a doctor's deepest respect for life.
In the office late at night, Jiang Yuzhu pushed open the door and unexpectedly found Pei Jingchuan sitting on the sofa, still wearing a crisp suit. Even in this sleepless night, he was still a sight.
Pei Jingchuan raised his eyes following the sound of the door and turned to her.
"Jingchuan, why are you here?"
Jiang Yuzhu blurted out, his voice full of exhaustion, but also mixed with an unexpected joy.
"It's so late, how can I trust you to go home alone?"
Pei Jingchuan stood up, his voice low and powerful.
Jiang Yuzhu shook his head slightly, with a little helplessness in his smile.
"You could have gone back first. You didn't have to come to pick me up. I still have to sort out some information."
