Chapter 42: Retaliate
Sun Chan stared directly at Bai Fanglan, "Doctor Bai, on the day my adoptive mother came, you weren’t supposed to be at the hospital. Who did you hear these things from?"
Mr. Yan slightly twitched his brow upon hearing the words ’adoptive mother.’
Bai Fanglan sneered, "If you don’t want people to know, don’t do it yourself. You really have a thick skin, to be chased out of the hospital and then come here eagerly, wanting to reach the heavens in one step? Truly ambitious beyond measure!"
"Everything you’re saying hasn’t been thoroughly investigated. Just because you heard some gossip, you determine I’m vain and materialistic? Isn’t that a bit excessive? I haven’t even gotten engaged, so how could there be a broken engagement? Also, I’m working here, relying on my own efforts to earn a living. Who am I currying favor with? Doctor Bai, you’ve been degrading my character, is this the kind of upbringing your family taught you? It’s truly disheartening!" Sun Chan retorted with righteousness.
Bai Fanglan was so upset her chest hurt; she was being looked down upon by a country girl!
"Even now, you won’t admit it..."
Sun Chan interrupted before she could finish, looking at the old man: "I’ve already reported my situation to my sister’s school. My adoptive mother, Zhao Xiuxia, wanted to sell me to a local village scoundrel for a dowry of five hundred yuan. I couldn’t tolerate it and ran away. That day, she almost beat me to death because I refused to be sold off. You can verify this."
Of course, Bai Fanglan didn’t believe her, thinking it was just an excuse to return to the countryside.
She sneered, "You really know how to argue! I’ve heard it all—you only suck up to people in power, and latch on as soon as you see someone in good circumstances. Shameless! Even after I’ve exposed you, you dare not admit it. Old man, such a person cannot be tolerated, must be expelled! Disgusting!"
