Chapter 118 exposed it
"You're right, it wasn't my son who was injured, so what does it have to do with me?"
Lin Shuyao twitched her lips and turned to leave.
Why waste a perfectly good weekend on someone unrelated?
Putting Cheng Zheng aside, she and Su Wan were just colleagues, not even friends.
Seeing Lin Shuyao take a few steps, Cheng Zheng immediately followed, walked to her side, and took her hand in his large hand. "Wait, I'll go with you."
"Aren't you staying in the hospital?"
"No, wait for me a moment, I need to say a few words to Comrade Su Wan."
"Okay." Lin Shuyao stopped and waited where she was. Cheng Zheng returned to Su Wan's side.
Su Wan stared intently at their clasped hands, her eyes reddening, as if all the strength had been drained from her. Seeing Cheng Zheng approach, she abruptly looked up, her eyes filled with undisguised shock and pain.
"Brother Zheng, you and Comrade Shen...you two..."
"We're dating." Cheng Zheng didn't plan to hide it anymore. Even if someone suspected Shen Qing's identity, they shouldn't be able to find out about her relationship with her uncle for a while.
Although Su Wan had long suspected this possibility, hearing him admit it still felt like being punched in the chest. She staggered back half a step, her back hitting the cold wall, her lips trembling.
"But...but you promised you would take care of me and the child..."
This reaction made Cheng Zheng frown slightly: "I did promise Sun Weiyang before he passed away that I would take care of you and your child for a while. But my dating life doesn't conflict with this."
"How can there be no conflict?" Su Wan's voice suddenly rose, her eyes red as she stared at him. "You have a boyfriend now, you're married, you'll have your own family in the future, how could you possibly still take care of me and Hu Zi? Even if you wanted to, would Comrade Shen be willing? Like in that situation just now, a life-or-death matter, she would rather you help her friend's son than let the doctor save my son first!"
Unexpectedly, she was so stubborn, insisting on dragging Lin Shuyao into it. Cheng Zheng's face turned completely cold: "It was my decision to let the doctor save the child first, and it has nothing to do with Shen Qing. Besides, the doctor took the child directly to the operating room, while Hu Zi was only bandaged in the emergency room. It's obvious which is more important, isn't it?"
"Heh, it's alright?" Su Wan forced a bitter smile, tears welling in her eyes. "If she didn't know that Xiao Jun's dad, how could you possibly side with someone else?! You always put me and Hu Zi first!"
She became more and more agitated as she spoke, her chest heaving violently, and her gaze kept glancing at Lin Shuyao with an inexplicable resentment.
Lin Shuyao crossed her arms, watching the show like she was watching a play. She thought to herself, "Why do I always feel like there's a subtle clash between my aura and Su Wan's? So Su Wan also likes Cheng Zheng."
Then it makes sense.
When rivals meet, they blush with embarrassment.
Lin Shuyao's lips curled into a half-smile as she looked at Cheng Zheng.
Cheng Zheng hadn't expected Su Wan to say such a thing; something was off. His brow furrowed even more, and his tone turned icy: "Comrade Su Wan, I took care of you before because I was entrusted with something, out of concern for the families of my comrades. Don't misunderstand. I only ever put my own loved one first."
"I don't believe it! I don't believe it!"
Su Wan seemed to have been provoked, shaking her head frantically, tears streaming down her face. "When I entered the factory, you prepared daily necessities for me, and when I was sick, you brought me porridge. Was all this just the care and concern of a comrade's family?"
"And when I first went on blind dates at the military base, you were the one who went on a date with me first! They said you'd never gone on a date with a woman before, and I was the first! Can you honestly say you didn't feel anything special for me?"
Su Wan stared intently at Cheng Zheng, her eyes filled with a last shred of stubborn hope, like a drowning person clinging to the last piece of driftwood.
Cheng Zheng, however, showed no mercy and pulled the piece of wood away, throwing it far away.
"Comrade Su Wan, let me explain this to you solemnly: I have no other thoughts about you. If this has caused you any misunderstanding, I will be more careful to keep my distance in the future."
His face was expressionless, and his voice was as cold as ice.
Ignoring Su Wan's reaction, he walked straight to Lin Shuyao's side, took her hand, and his previously cold voice towards Su Wan became gentle and calm. "Let's go."
He led Lin Shuyao downstairs quickly.
Before going downstairs, Lin Shuyao glanced in Su Wan's direction. Su Wan looked as if her marrow had been ripped out; she slid down onto the cold cement floor, her face covered in tears, muttering, "Why...why did you do this to me..."
