Chapter 342 Thank You for Your Understanding
After a few words with the director of the surgical department, Si Chen returned to his office. Seeing this, Lin Man hurriedly followed him in. She started by asking some simple questions about medical knowledge, before steering the conversation towards personal matters.
"I found jobs for Xiaohui and Song Yu earlier, which they did for a while then changed because they were dissatisfied. Song Yu is now working as a security guard at my brother’s company, while Xiaohui is a cashier at a restaurant. Although the salary isn’t too high, the work is easy and can cover their expenses. Xiaohui is much more understanding than before. She’s even visited your family ward once before, but I don’t know if you were out at that time. Nobody answered the door for them."
As Lin Man spoke about Si Xiaohui, she observed Si Chen’s face. Seeing zero change in his expression, she felt unsure about his thoughts and tried to persuade him, "Doctor Si, there are things I am not sure whether I should say or not. After all, Xiaohui is your sister, you two are blood-related family. You..."
"If you think it shouldn’t be said, then don’t say it." Si Chen glanced at her with an expressionless face, "It’s working hours now. Apart from work-related things, you don’t need to talk to me about anything. Besides, your involvement with Xiaohui and Song Yu’s matters is up to you, you don’t need to tell me."
Lin Man had thought that by helping Si Xiaohui, Si Chen would have a better attitude towards her, but he remained just as indifferent.
During this period of time, she had occasionally appeared before Si Chen at the hospital, never purposefully getting closer, always trying to act naturally, like normal colleagues. She thought that their relationship was getting better, only to realise that it was all her wishful thinking.
Lin Man suddenly felt a little unbalanced inside.
She did not understand why Si Chen was so indifferent. She didn’t think she was any worse than Tong Yao.
Was it because she arrived on the scene later than Tong Yao, or was it that men inherently prefer what they can’t have, finding it irresistible, like Shi Yan?
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Man’s expression suddenly changed. She pretended to be angry and said, "Doctor Si, Xiaohui and I are friends, so I helped her. I thought that as siblings, you would care about her situation and informed you. Since you don’t want to hear it, fine, I won’t mention anything to you in the future."
