Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law

With that thought, Liu Ergou finally came back to his senses.

"Director Zheng, that new phone I just bought doesn't have a SIM card yet. How about this? If there's something you need, find Sister Fu Ya and have her let me know."

"I will definitely rush over as soon as I get the message. How does that sound?"

Hearing Liu Ergou say this, Director Zheng quickly nodded. "Alright, alright, Divine Doctor, we'll do as you say!"

After saying this, Director Zheng smiled. Although I didn't get Liu Ergou's phone number, securing a promise from him means this wasn't all for nothing. Sometimes, a promise like this is the most important thing!

While Director Zheng was silently pleased, Liu Ergou looked at Bai Xiuxiu sitting in the lobby and suddenly said something that baffled both Fu Ya and Director Zheng.

"It's not a solution to have Bai Xiuxiu keep sitting here. How about this? Arrange for her to go to an empty reception room."

Hearing this, Director Zheng looked at Liu Ergou with a puzzled expression. Can you tell me why?

When Liu Ergou saw Director Zheng's look, he said without raising his head, "If she keeps sitting here, what if she's seen by other people coming in to report cases?"

"If they start up a conversation…"

At this point, Director Zheng immediately understood what Liu Ergou meant. So, he gave a look to the officers nearby. Upon seeing this, one of the officers promptly approached Bai Xiuxiu and escorted her to a reception room.

Once Bai Xiuxiu was taken to the reception room, Liu Ergou turned to Director Zheng and said, "Don't worry, Chief. If you need anything in the future, I will certainly help. But of course, only with medical issues. If you ask me to help you get promoted or become rich, that's beyond my capacity!"

After saying this, Liu Ergou walked towards the reception room where Bai Xiuxiu was.

When Director Zheng heard Liu Ergou's words, he was initially taken aback, then he immediately grasped the meaning and became overjoyed. This statement was much stronger than the previous one. If the earlier words were just a polite gesture, then this was tantamount to a solemn promise. As long as I run into trouble, Liu Ergou will definitely help me.

Thinking this, Director Zheng's face broke into a delighted smile. It isn't easy to curry favor with the town mayor's daughter, but isn't ingratiating myself with the Divine Doctor much simpler?

With this thought in mind, Director Zheng smiled and said to Fu Ya beside him, "Alright, let me take you to rest for a while."

Fu Ya didn't argue but just nodded, then followed Director Zheng away.

Meanwhile, Liu Ergou had arrived at the door of the reception room. He peered through the small window into the room.

Bai Xiuxiu sat inside, looking dejected and letting out a heavy sigh. She appeared incredibly pitiable.

This pitiable state also inexplicably softened the heart of Liu Ergou, who had harbored a deep-seated hatred for her.

Looking at the reception room's door, Liu Ergou hesitated. Should I go in and check on her?

After a brief thought, Liu Ergou decided to go in anyway. What if this woman truly has some unspeakable hardship? Maybe I can help her.

With that thought, Liu Ergou pushed open the door and walked in. Just then, Bai Xiuxiu let out another sigh.

"Ah… as expected…"

Following that, she shook her head. I'm a hot potato right now. No one wants anything to do with me.

Just then, Bai Xiuxiu suddenly heard footsteps approaching. She subconsciously looked up, only to see that the person coming was Liu Ergou. The moment she saw him, she froze in place, muttering to herself, "Why is it you!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ergou didn't say anything but simply walked over and sat down opposite her.

Watching Liu Ergou sit silently across from her, Bai Xiuxiu's expression gradually grew cold.

"What is the meaning of this? Did you come here specifically to mock me?"

Looking at Bai Xiuxiu before him, Liu Ergou shook his head. Even though she looked wretched, the noble and elegant demeanor she possessed had never changed.

Sitting across from Bai Xiuxiu, Liu Ergou could clearly see her current condition. Although she had tried hard to cover the marks on her face with foundation, he could still see several palm prints. Without a doubt, they must have been from Duan Guanghao.

Being stared at by Liu Ergou like this, Bai Xiuxiu found it unbearable.

"What are you trying to do? Why won't you speak!"

Hearing Bai Xiuxiu say this, Liu Ergou finally spoke.

"What is there for me to say?"

"If you had simply ignored me from the beginning instead of provoking me, how could you have ended up in this situation?"

As soon as he said this, a self-mocking smile appeared on Bai Xiuxiu's face.

"Yes, you're right. I brought all of this upon myself!"

Bai Xiuxiu didn't deny Liu Ergou's words; on the contrary, she acknowledged them frankly. Of course, admitting it was one thing, but she still hated Liu Ergou intensely. This is all because of Liu Ergou! If it weren't for him, how could I have ended up like this? Not only have I lost face, but I've also suffered domestic abuse and was even treated differently when I came to report the crime. I wish I could just drive him out right now, but what good would that do?

In the blink of an eye, numerous thoughts flashed through her mind. But she quickly calmed her agitated heart.

Bai Xiuxiu took a deep breath, and her imposing aura suddenly returned, giving Liu Ergou the momentary illusion that she was still a lady of high society.

She then asked, "So, Liu Ergou, why are you here? Don't tell me you came just to gloat at my misfortune?"

Looking at the proud Bai Xiuxiu before him, Liu Ergou suddenly chuckled. This act might fool others, but it's far from enough to deceive me. He could see right through to her little secret.

Liu Ergou didn't want to beat around the bush with her any longer. He cut straight to the point, "Alright, stop putting on an act. It might fool others, but it's not going to work on me!"

"Besides, look at me. Do I look like I'm here to enjoy the show?"

"I just happened to run into you, that's all."

Having said this, Liu Ergou narrowed his eyes, his piercing gaze fixed on Bai Xiuxiu. This involuntarily made her shrink back.

At this moment, in Bai Xiuxiu's eyes, Liu Ergou seemed to have transformed into a completely different person.
