Chapter 29: Li Jiaojiao Faces Great Misfortune

Li Jiaojiao took advantage of her lunch break to run to the Orthopedics Department again, only to find that Gu Yan’an had already been discharged from the hospital.

Fuming, she stormed into the doctor’s office and stood in front of Lan Mo’s desk, demanding fiercely, “Hey, where’s the patient from Ward Two?”

Lan Mo didn’t respond. She couldn’t be bothered to even look at someone so rude, let alone answer her.

“Hey, I’m talking to you! Did you hear me or not? Are you deaf?”

Lan Mo frowned and glanced at Li Jiaojiao, sneering, “Comrade Li Jiaojiao, this is the Orthopedics Department, not your Emergency Department! Coming to our department to look for a patient—are you out of your mind?”

“What does it matter to you who I’m looking for? Are you trying to seduce Gu Yan’an just because he’s good-looking? Could it be that you started those rumors yourself? Are you trying to latch onto him?”

As if she needed to latch onto him—all it would take was a nod from her.

“Li Jiaojiao, if you have nothing better to do after eating, go to the fourth floor and find Director Wang. He’s an expert in that area.”

Wasn’t she Deputy Director Li’s daughter? Shouldn’t she be contributing to the hospital’s revenue?

“Hmph, you’re the one with a problem!”

Deputy Director Li’s precious daughter had no manners at all—she was truly annoying.

Doctor Deng, who was nearby, couldn’t stand it any longer and quickly spoke up, “Comrade Xiao Li, no matter how young Doctor Lan is, she’s still a bit older than you. Are you calling out to cats or dogs with all this ‘hey, hey’?

Alright, hurry back to your Emergency Department and get to work. Stop making a scene here. The patient in Ward Two, Bed One, was discharged this morning. Beds Two and Three are still occupied. Who exactly are you looking for?”

“What? Discharged? Why didn’t you tell me Comrade Gu was discharged? Hurry, go get his medical records for me!” Li Jiaojiao pointed at Lan Mo.

“Li Jiaojiao, did you leave your brain at home? How can a patient’s medical records be handed out so casually?”

Did she think the hospital was her family’s business, where she could do whatever she wanted? Had her brain been crushed by a door?

Just then, Director Qin walked in. Seeing Li Jiaojiao in their department was strange enough, but why did the atmosphere feel so tense?

“What’s going on here? Comrade Xiao Li, why are you in our department?”

“Uncle Qin, I want to see Comrade Gu Yan’an’s medical records from Ward Two, but this Lan woman refuses to get them for me!”

“Stand up straight! It’s working hours—call me Director Qin! Comrade Gu is my patient. If you want to see his medical records, go get a note from your father first. Then I’ll retrieve them for you.”

Li Jiaojiao pouted and said, “Director Qin, I don’t want to see his medical records. I just want to know where he lives.”

Director Qin suddenly felt like laughing. Li Jianye was quite skilled at scheming for power, but he clearly didn’t know how to raise a daughter. Not only was she spoiled and delicate, but at less than twenty years old, she was also a hopeless romantic who couldn’t take her eyes off any good-looking male comrade.

He’d heard she’d been pestering Doctor Lu from the Emergency Department before, causing quite a few embarrassing scenes. Now she was after Comrade Xiao Gu?

Well, Comrade Xiao Gu was handsome and upright—it was only natural for young female comrades to be drawn to him.

But he had already promised to help Xiao Gu with matchmaking. He couldn’t let this Li Jiaojiao, like a piece of rotten meat, ruin the promising relationship between Xiao Gu and Xiao Lan.

“Comrade Li Jiaojiao, you want to know Comrade Xiao Gu’s home address? Are you planning to look for him? Well, I suppose there’s no harm in telling you…”

Li Jiaojiao triumphantly lifted her chin, challenging Lan Mo: See, Director Qin ultimately sided with me.

Li Jiaojiao smiled and said, “Thank you, Director Qin!”

“No need for thanks. Let me tell you—Comrade Xiao Gu is actually from Jingshi!”

“What?”

How could that be? From Jingshi?

With so many hospitals in Jingshi, why would he come all the way to their Haishi for a minor surgery?

Now where was she supposed to find him?

Sigh…

Li Jiaojiao trudged away with her head down. Why was it so hard for her to find a good-looking partner?

Distractedly returning to the Emergency Department, she realized Doctor Lu hadn’t come to work that afternoon.

“Doctor Xu, do you know where Doctor Lu went?”

“You mean Doctor Lu? He might be transferring back to Jingshi. He just went out to submit the paperwork.”

“What? He’s going back to Jingshi too? Didn’t he say before that he might stay in Haishi for good? Why would he think of going back now?”

“Comrade Li Jiaojiao, you don’t know about this, do you? I heard his family arranged a match for him and is forcing him to return. Plus, it seems he confessed to Doctor Lan and got rejected, so he doesn’t want to stay in Haishi anymore.”

That damned fox spirit, seducing one after another, even rejecting such an outstanding doctor like Lu. Let’s see what kind of man she ends up with.

Oh, Grandfather Moon in the sky, please match that fox spirit Lan Mo with some old farmer!

They say good men often end up with bad wives, while lazy men get the beauties. With her sly, seductive looks, she deserves to be paired with a lazy bum.

Just then, head nurse Deng Jia of the Emergency Department rushed over and called out, “Li Jiaojiao, what are you still chatting about? We just got a few more emergency patients. Hurry up and prepare their medication for injections. Remember the Three Checks and Seven Verifications—be extra careful and don’t mess anything up!”

“Okay, got it, Head Nurse! I’ll go right away…”

This Li Jiaojiao was not only spoiled but also a bit useless. How did she even get into medical school? Whenever she gave injections, either the patients screamed in pain or they bled nonstop when she removed the needle.

Thankfully, this was the Emergency Department with patients constantly coming and going. Every time a complaint was filed, it was Head Nurse Deng who had to clean up the mess, apologizing and explaining that she was just an intern nurse.

Li Jiaojiao had been working at the hospital for two or three years now. Heh… her internship sure was a long one.

Ever since Li Jiaojiao was assigned to their Emergency Department, Deng Jia had been on edge every day, terrified she’d cause a medical accident. If that happened, Deng Jia, as head nurse, would be held accountable too.

Every time Li Jiaojiao prepared medication, Deng Jia would repeatedly remind her by her ear: Li Jiaojiao, remember the Three Checks and Seven Verifications, the Three Checks and Seven Verifications!

Deng Jia often wondered, even a cow would have remembered by now, right?

Li Jiaojiao, thinking about how the men she liked had all returned to Jingshi, couldn’t muster any enthusiasm for anything now.

Carrying the prepared medication to the treatment room, she called out listlessly, “Liu Yang, come for your injection.”

An elderly woman quickly stood up, holding a five-year-old boy. “Yes, yes, Nurse, is it time for my grandson Liu Yang’s butt injection?”

“Mhm, help him pull down his pants. We’re ready for the injection.”

Liu Yang, who had been listless, burst into tears at the sight of the long needle on the tray. “I don’t want an injection! I don’t want an injection!”

The old lady comforted from the side, “Yangyang, be good. You’ll feel better soon after the shot. Grandma will buy you candy when we get back.”

Hearing about the candy, the little boy stopped screaming and whimpered softly, “Grandma, I’m scared!”

“Don’t be scared, don’t be scared. Grandma will cover your eyes so you won’t see it.”

Li Jiaojiao first disinfected Liu Yang’s buttocks, then firmly inserted the syringe.

“Ow! It hurts, it hurts! Grandma, my butt hurts so much!”

Seeing her precious grandson in such pain, the old lady thought the nurse was too rough and couldn’t help complaining, “Comrade Nurse, couldn’t you be gentler? My grandson still has a high fever!”

While injecting the medicine, Li Jiaojiao asked, “Isn’t your grandson here for diarrhea? How did it become a high fever?”

The old lady looked confused. “Comrade Nurse, are you mistaken? My grandson came to the hospital because his high fever wouldn’t go down.”

Oh no, I gave the wrong injection. Li Jiaojiao was instantly stunned and asked, “Your grandson is Liu Yang, with the ‘Yang’ that has three dots of water, right?”

“What three dots of water? My grandson is Liu Yang, with the ‘Yang’ meaning sun! Young comrade, did you give my grandson the wrong shot?”

Only then did Li Jiaojiao realize she had made a huge mistake. Terrified, her hand trembled as she quickly pulled out the needle, relieved that half the medicine hadn’t been injected yet.

Seeing something was wrong, the old lady grabbed Li Jiaojiao’s hand and wailed loudly, “Doctor! Come quickly! This damned wicked woman gave my grandson the wrong shot! Hurry and save my precious grandson!”

Li Jiaojiao thought, it’s over, this time it’s really over…
