Chapter 183: 183: Blinding smile
This woman…
They may have met but he was sure that they had never spoken. Why was there an inexplicable hostility between them?
As for Jing Qian, she raised her beautiful brows while staring at Dong Yuetong, who was acting arrogant.
Well, when the tiger was gone from the woods, the monkeys called themselves a king.
She had never expected that her fragile little sister would turn so domineering once she was gone.
Huh.
“Miss Dong, did something… Unhappy occur between you and my younger brother?” Zhan Yuheng couldn’t help but ask.
Dong Yuetong was someone whom he brought for Zhan Lichuan after a great deal of effort. However, seeing how the doctor was unhappy with her patient, who would allow such a doctor to treat their family member?
Dong Yuetong kept smiling.
“Nothing bad happened between the both of us. However, I have had a keen sense of hearing since birth. Right before we entered, I overheard the Third Young Mistress saying that she has never heard of someone called Dong Yuetong. If she could choose, she would definitely choose the Lawrence Institute, which is more capable, and would never choose me.
“I shouldn’t be so worked up over something that a peasant woman is saying, but the Third Young Master seemed to trust his wife’s sweet talk much more than my words.”
With that, Dong Yuetong turned to Master Zhan and asked, “I just wanted to ask Master Zhan. Since the third young master doesn’t believe or trust me, should I still be treating him?”
Master Zhan had an ugly look on his face thinking that if Ah Chuan refused to be treated by Dong Yuetong, he would never allow Dong Yuetong to be his doctor.
Zhan Yuheng, who was standing next to Master Zhan, knew that Master Zhan’s reply would mess up the entire situation and quickly answered instead.
“Miss Dong, we came in together and I did not hear them saying anything about this. I did not hear my sister-in-law say anything to my younger brother. The wall is thick and extremely soundproof. How would you be able to hear what they are saying from inside?”
Zhan Shuyu who was standing behind her immediately chipped in, “That’s true. I didn’t hear anyone talking when we were coming in. Miss Dong, you must have misheard them!”
“I already said this before. I have better hearing than the average person. This is a basic skill as a genius doctor. Plus, wouldn’t the third young master and young mistress be aware of what they have just said?”
Jing Qian never expected that the first person that Dong Yuetong would encounter after coming all the way from Delta would be her.
Therefore, she couldn’t help but smile — a bright, alluring smile.
When Dong Yuetong saw the enchanting yet familiar smile, she froze.
Her face immediately turned pale.
She knew this smile.
This was the bright, dazzling smile that Dong Yuetong hated the most for her entire life.
They were two women that looked completely different. The saying goes that it is impossible to imitate one’s personality and charisma, but this woman was different.
Even if she looked different from Saka, she was still able to put on the same smile that Saka had. This was something that even Dong Yuetong herself couldn’t have done.
At that instant, the memories started flowing into her mind, of her following right behind Saka with fear. She pretended to be inferior to her, but the other party always seemed to have this smile, as if Saka could see right through her.
This was a nightmare that was stuck inside her brain and would never be removed, even if Saka was now dead.
“It’s true that I did say those things. So what? It’s true that I have never heard of you. Is it necessary for everyone to have heard of you? I don’t think what I’ve said would have offended you. The Lawrence Institute does have a more well-established reputation than you.”
