239: Chapter 239 Malicious Targeting

"Then... thank you both."

Seeing her look very embarrassed, Liu Hui chuckled and said, "Alright, it's not a big deal. Don't worry, your Sister Liu isn't short on money."

Shen Yan also reached out and put his arm around Liu Hui, smiling, "That's right, your Sister Liu is very rich. I'm relying on your Sister Liu to support me!"

Xiao Ting knew that Shen Yan was just joking with her.

She pursed her lips, waved her hand, and said, "Anyway, there's nothing to do now. I'll treat you to dinner later!"

Shen Yan was about to refuse when Liu Hui gently pinched the flesh on his waist.

"Great! I want to eat at Grandpa's wonton shop."

Xiao Ting nodded vigorously: "Okay!"

Because Xiao Ting still had things to pack, they agreed to meet at the hospital entrance.

After Xiao Ting's figure disappeared at the department entrance, Shen Yan turned to Liu Hui and asked, "Didn't you know I already booked a restaurant?"

Hearing the question, Liu Hui walked to the door and glanced outside the department, confirming no one was there before closing the door and turning to Shen Yan to answer:

"Xiao Ting's family situation isn't great, so everyone in the hospital takes good care of her."

"She feels like she's receiving too much too quickly and often tries to find ways to repay us from other places."

Shen Yan understood Liu Hui's meaning.

Xiao Ting is still young, and her self-esteem is high. She can't comfortably accept the kindness and help others give her.

"Alright, then I'll cancel the restaurant reservation later."

After speaking, he walked up to Liu Hui, leaned down, and kissed her.

The two hadn't been intimate for a long time.

They got a little carried away for a moment.

Finally, Liu Hui pulled at his clothes and pushed him away, saying Xiao Ting must be getting impatient, and only then did the two walk out of the department.

At this time of day, there weren't many people in the hospital.

Liu Hui chatted with Shen Yan about what happened today as they walked towards the hospital entrance.

Before they reached the entrance, they saw Director Lian standing there, seemingly talking to Xiao Ting about something.

As they got closer, they heard Director Lian telling Xiao Ting things like, "Don't always hang out with Liu Hui; your family background isn't as good as hers, you should know your place."

"It's a pity Director Lian is so fond of lecturing; she really should have been a teacher."

A sarcastic voice rang out, and Director Lian's face changed as she turned to look at Liu Hui. She didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said, nor did she feel guilty about being caught badmouthing someone behind their back.

She just felt uncomfortable whenever she saw Liu Hui with a handsome man.

As the director's daughter, she had been the center of attention since she started working at the hospital.

Although she had a bad temper and everyone had many complaints about her, no matter what.

Whenever she appeared, she was sure to be the focus of everyone's gaze.

Initially, she was very satisfied with this situation, until Liu Hui appeared, and she noticed that everyone's attention gradually followed Liu Hui.

Liu Hui is only in her early thirties, yet her professional title is already very high. Coupled with her excellent personality, she quickly became close with everyone in the hospital.

Every time she saw Liu Hui joking around with people in the hospital, an emotion named jealousy would sprout in her heart.

Driven by emotion, she did many bad things to Liu Hui, even trying to use all her power to drive Liu Hui out of the hospital, but she never succeeded.

Because Liu Hui was capable and came from a good family background, even though she was the director's daughter, she couldn't dismiss her from the company without Liu Hui having done anything wrong.

After realizing she couldn't drive Liu Hui out of the company, she hated Liu Hui even more.

The only thing that made her feel like she had won against Liu Hui was that she was already married.

In her perception, Liu Hui was an older, leftover woman.

No matter how outstanding Liu Hui was in the hospital, in her personal life, she was just an unwanted woman.

Therefore, every time she saw Liu Hui, she always looked at her with a condescending attitude.

But this idea and attitude of hers shattered when she saw Shen Yan just now.

She couldn't believe that the older, leftover woman Liu Hui had actually found a man who was handsome, tall, and seemed quite wealthy.

This was completely unbearable for her.

"What do you mean lecturing? I'm doing this for her own good!"

"Hanging out with dubious people all day, I'm warning her to be careful not to get officially hired in the hospital!"

As her words fell, Xiao Ting's face turned extremely pale.

She was just a small intern, from a poor family, with no money. Getting officially hired was her only lifeline.

She didn't want to lose the job she had worked so hard to find just because she offended Director Lian.

Just as Xiao Ting's face alternated between green and purple, Liu Hui spoke.

"Director Lian, I previously thought you were just a bit difficult, but now it seems it's not just a personality issue; you also have a character problem."

It had been a long time since Director Lian had been cursed at directly.

She gritted her teeth and said to Liu Hui, "What did you say?!"

Liu Hui raised an eyebrow slightly and repeated each word clearly: "Did I not make myself clear just now? Alright, listen carefully now. I said you are a low, vile, petty, person with a character problem!"

Director Lian was greatly angered by her words.

"How dare you speak to me like that? Do you still want to continue working in this hospital?!"

Liu Hui scoffed. She had long been fed up with Director Lian, who, relying on being the director's daughter, acted unscrupulously in the hospital.

"What? Just because I cursed at you, you're going to make it impossible for me to stay in the hospital?"

"That's right, anyway, you're the director's daughter, so getting me fired from the hospital is just a matter of a few words for you."

Director Lian wasn't a fool; she could hear the sarcastic tone in Liu Hui's voice.

"What do you mean I'm relying on being the director's daughter? I'm telling you, I'm your direct superior. No matter what, you shouldn't talk to me like that!"

Liu Hui narrowed her eyes and retorted, "I can't talk to you like that, but you can talk to Xiao Ting like that?!"

"She didn't do anything wrong, and not only was her bonus deducted for no reason, but she also had to be pulled aside at the hospital entrance and told such unreasonable things."

"You said she hangs out with dubious people all day and warned her to be careful not to get officially hired. Then I'd like to ask you, who are these dubious people you're talking about? Is it me, or is it yourself?"

Liu Hui's barrage of questions caught Director Lian off guard.

She wanted to say that the dubious person she was referring to was Liu Hui.

But if she really said that, the fact that she was targeting Liu Hui would be exposed.

Although it was already common knowledge, some things couldn't be said openly.
