Chapter 298: Chapter 290: Yu Manman

Bai Zhi was debating whether she should just wake up and explain the situation to him.

Just as she was about to open her eyes, the hurried sound of high heels clicking against the floor tiles came from outside the door.

’High heels? In the inpatient ward of a hospital, in the middle of the night?’

"Lin Yang?" The voice was soft and sweet, laced with a hint of drunkenness.

That voice was familiar. She had heard it countless times. It was Yu Manman, the only daughter of Director Yu of Mingxing Hospital. She was also the hospital’s honorary vice president and Bai Zhi’s former boss, at least in name.

Yu Manman also happened to be one of Lin Yang’s classmates.

Although they had both graduated from Southern Medical University, Yu Manman couldn’t even give an injection, let alone perform any other medical procedures.

Yu Manman and Lin Yang had known each other since high school. The main reason she’d even attended Southern Medical University was for Lin Yang. She had been hopelessly in love with him since high school, so much so that she was willing to cast aside her pride for him.

Lin Yang was, admittedly, a great catch. He came from a privileged family and was the classic "tall, rich, and handsome" type. Plenty of girls liked Lin Yang, but none were as obsessed as Yu Manman.

Lin Yang’s brow furrowed. He reluctantly released Bai Zhi’s hand and walked to the doorway of the hospital room.

"What are you doing here?" Lin Yang’s voice was cold, completely devoid of the tenderness it held when he spoke to Bai Zhi just moments before.

Yu Manman, who had been leaning against the doorframe, suddenly stumbled into Lin Yang’s arms. Her slender arms wrapped tightly around his waist as she rested her exquisitely made-up face on his shoulder.

"Lin Yang, your heart is beating so fast. You have feelings for me too, don’t you? You like me too, right?" Her voice was soft and delicate, laced with drunkenness and reeking of alcohol.

However, Lin Yang didn’t succumb to her advances as she’d hoped. He forcefully pushed her away, his face a mask of unconcealed disgust.

"Yu Manman, have some self-respect. This is a hospital." Lin Yang’s voice was even colder than before, and the revulsion in his tone was a sharp barb to Yu Manman’s heart.

’Still the same. He’s still the same. He hasn’t changed at all.’

’The more he acted this way, the more she loved him, the more she wanted to possess him. If she couldn’t have him, then no one else could either.’

"Lin Yang, what’s so great about her that you treat her like this? In what way am I, Yu Manman, inferior to her?" Back in the day, she had been the campus belle of Southern Medical University. Aside from her grades, which couldn’t compare to Bai Zhi’s, she surpassed the orphan Bai Zhi in every other respect—family background, looks, resources. It wasn’t even close.

’But why? Why couldn’t Lin Yang see any of that? From beginning to end, he had never once given her the time of day. Why?’

Lin Yang frowned. "I’m not obligated to explain anything to you. You aren’t welcome here. Please leave."

Yu Manman sneered. "Not welcome? Lin Yang, don’t you forget, this is Mingxing Hospital. And I, Yu Manman, am the vice president of this very hospital. Is there anywhere in Mingxing Hospital I can’t go?"

With that, Yu Manman tried to push her way inside.

Lin Yang immediately blocked her. "What? You want to harm her again? Haven’t you already made her suffer enough?"

Lying in bed, Bai Zhi froze. ’What did Lin Yang mean by that? Yu Manman harmed me?’

It was true. Yu Manman had never liked her, all because Lin Yang was always by her side. They ate together, started their shifts together, and ended their shifts together. On the rare days they had off, they would watch a lighthearted movie or grab a simple fast-food meal.
