Chapter 53 She is Very Satisfied with Today’s Battle Achievements
Tong Yao had just washed her hair, which was now a messy dishevelled bundle due to the altercation. There were stains on her trousers where Tang Fengying had landed kicks. In contrast, Tang Fengying didn’t seem to have any obvious injuries. Tang Fengying’s injuries were on her waist and abdomen which she couldn’t show in public. Given the significant difference in their body types, it was Tong Yao who seemed to be at a disadvantage.
Further possible pregnancy meant no one dared to criticize Tong Yao. They could only comfort Tang Fengying. However, comforting her only led her to cry even louder, which was a nuisance to everyone around. Onlookers even wanted to cover her mouth.
Zeng Hongxia leaned over to Tang Fengying and whispered something that only the two of them could hear: "Fengying, you didn’t really lose anything, stop crying now. Go upstairs quickly. What if doctor Si hears the commotion and comes down? Can you handle the two of them alone? Besides, if she’s really pregnant, and complains about a stomachache later, you might end up paying her medical bills for maintaining her pregnancy. The placenta isn’t even stable during the first three months of pregnancy, and you didn’t hold back with your kicks. What if anything happens?"
Zeng Hongxia spoke in such a dramatic tone that it touched a nerve with Tang Fengying. Her crying stopped immediately. Si Chen was a newcomer unwanted by the dean, but Zhao Dongqing seemed to consider him promising. Tang Fengying was just a soon-to-retire nurse, and if she created a ripple, the Dean might not stick up for her.
If Tong Yao is really pregnant and if anything goes wrong, it would place her in a vulnerable situation. On reconsideration, Tang Fengying stood up, stopped her crying and arguing, and before heading upstairs, left a vicious remark: "I forgive you because of your youth, but someone will take care of you sooner or later."
Having said that, she picked up her laundry basin from the sink and went straight into the bathroom.
No sooner had she gone in than Si Chen came from downstairs. Seeing Tong Yao in such a mess, he asked in a plain voice, "What happened?"
Tong Yao, caught off guard, didn’t know how to explain. While she had not shown any fear during the fight with Tang Fengying but was even growing braver, she didn’t know how to explain it to Si Chen, especially how she had yelled that she might be pregnant. If Si Chen knew, would he ask her whose child she was carrying?
