Chapter 532: Ask Her to Apologize

Su Qingsang didn’t notice Li Meilin’s eyes. She heard the beat of her heart, with her head down she saw the homepage on Weibo and opened the page of trending local topics.

Different from the posts that had been deleted, this time, almost all the trending topics were about her.

Or, news related to her. Like Huo Jinyao, or Tianyu Group.

These keys words didn’t show on Weibo, but the articles were indicative of Su Qingsang’s connections with them.

“Why Did the Doctor Who Cursed the Patients Remain Working at the Hospital?”

“When Doctors’ Professional Ethics Was All Talk And No Deed, How Do I Believe You, My Doctor?”

“The Doctor Who Cursed the Patient Turned Out to be the President’s Wife of a Large Group.”

“All the Contents about the Cursing Doctor Disappeared Overnight —— What Happened?”

#Thecursingdoctor was the trending topic in the local community. Besides, all the topics related to this hashtag were among the top searches.

For example, “The pregnant patient’s stitches opened up due to the doctor’s cursing”, “The doctor cursed a pregnant patient —— shouldn’t doctors treat patients all the same? ”

” A doctor who has no professional ethics —— the growing intensity between doctors and patients.” “A doctor cursed a pregnant patient and caused her clinical depression.”

All these most-discussed posts contained such a trending topic.

There was a post that explained what happened in great detail.

For example, Su Qingsang admitted the pregnant patient who tried to scam her, and the post had a picture of the pregnant woman.

And the day Su Qingsang appeared at the hospital with Li Hong covered in blood.

The post had not only pictures but also a video that Li Hong, looking pale and pallid, complained about what happened in the hospital room.

The scene changed to the side of Su Qingsang’s face.

The video was viewed and reposted hundreds of thousands of times. The popularity of the topic was equivalent to the one about a celebrity cheating or another celebrity tripped over on the red blanket.

Su Qingsang looked at the top 10 searches in the local community. Eight of them contained #thedoctorcursingpatient.

The topics were all against her. Not only the people related to her received a storm of abuse online, but also the department of gynecology and the whole hospital was distraught by it.

She was the one who received the most abuse.

There was even a post that says #Findthescumdoctor.

Lots of people commented below the post asking the Weibo users to repost it and make it the headline. Now, it was reposted for more than 50,000 times.

The comments were nothing but all kinds of abuse. For example, “Go to hell”, “scumbag”, “jerk”, “quack”.

If some users who were sensible and said something reasonable, they would be harassed immediately by a bunch of people.

The whole Weibo became a battlefield without smoke. The news and the trending topic caught people’s eyes most.

What followed these trending topics and popular posts was the abuse that was worse than the last time.

Even if Su Qingsang was prepared, she was caught off guard, receiving tons of abuse from the keyboard warriors. Some of them even claimed to stalk her home or go to the hospital to find her.

Even more, someone claimed to throw acid at her.

There were more like this on the internet, way more aggressive than the abuse she received in Lin City.

“Doctor Su,” seeing Su Qingsang staring at the screen, Li Meilin felt bad about her. “Do you want to hide at someplace?”

“Hide?” Where could she hide?

“There are lots of people outside. There are journalists, and——”

Passers-by who came to rubberneck, patients, and some patients’ families were crowded outside, watching at the journalists.

Su Qingsang felt her head was throbbing. Looking at the appalling words on Weibo and the pictures, she smiled at Li Meilin.

“Meilin, thank you.”

“Doctor Su,” Li Meilin looked around and said with frustration. “Why don’t you go from the back door?”

Su Qingsang had no idea what to do right now, but she knew she didn’t want to run away, at least not hiding in this way.

Su Qingsang’s phone rang. It was Su Yuxin.

“Sis, what’s going on with you?”

Su Yuxin didn’t use Weibo a lot. But since Su Qingsang went to Rong City, apart from the Wechat Moment, they also followed each on Weibo.

He was bored today, so he was reading updates on Weibo. When he was swiping, he immediately saw the news. The whole screen was filled with information about Su Qingsang.

The moment he saw Su Qingsang’s picture, he was surprised. He took another look at the contents, Su Yuxin was pissed off.

“Sis, it’s a big thing. Why don’t you tell us?”

“These people are crossing the line. Do they really think no one in the Su Family can stand out?” Su Yuxin thought.

“Even if Su Qingsang was married and settled in Rong City, she was still part of the Su Family and part of the Li Family.” He thought.

“No big deal,” Su Qingsang laughed. “Really, it’s nothing. Yuxin, you don’t need to worry about me. I know what I am doing.”

“You don’t know! These people are bullying us.”

Su Yuxin couldn’t stand it. “Wait for me. I am booking the ticket right now, and I’ll be here in the afternoon.”

“Yuxin,” Su Qingsang certainly wouldn’t let him come. “You don’t need to call attention to it. You don’t need to help me. I have Jinyao.”

“Yes, where is my sister-in-law?” Su Yuxin sounded unhappy. “It is a huge thing. Look at how things are going through right now. I don’t believe that he didn’t know it.”

“He knows. He asked people to delete the posts yesterday.”

It didn’t occur to Huo Jinyao that things only went worse. These people found that their posts were deleted and became irritated. All of them followed and watched the incident avidly, becoming extremely excited.

Many of the posts were related to Tianyu Group.

One post found out who she was, pointing out her identity in spite of not mentioning the name of her husband.

But this morning, she and Huo Jinyao were caught on the camera. Although part of Huo Jinyao’s face was blocked by her, if someone tried to recognize, she would find out who he was.

Some comments on the post criticized them for being heartless and throwing their weight around.

Even the few accidents that happened to Su Qingsang in Lin City were revealed online.

Zhang Mei who jumped off a building, Liu Xiangyu who suffered from family violence, and the accident with Li Rongrong.

These accidents were obviously online for a long time. As long as they searched and read the old news, they would know she was framed.

Now, in their eyes, all these things were owed to her.

The reason why she could remain as a doctor was due to the power of some large group. Although the name of the group was not revealed, everyone knew the answer.

It made the damns and curses even worse. A lot of people from Rong City asked whether the reason that she came to Rong City to practice was her series of malpractices back in Lin City.

More people complained about Su Qingsang and asked her to go back to Lin City. Since she was terrible at both her medical skills and her medical ethics, she should stay home and avoid being a disgrace herself.

Weibo was full of negative comments and posts. Any of them was sufficient to infuriate Su Yuxin.

“Sis, if he deleted the posts, then what am I looking right now? Good, if you don’t let me come to Rong City, I’ll let our mom come here.”

“Su Yuxin,” Su Qingsang felt a headache. “Could you not add trouble to me? Please believe me. Jinyao and I will take care of this thing.”

“But——”

“Mom doesn’t use Weibo. She is already busy with managing the company, and she is still upset with dad. Do you want mom to be worried about this?”

Su Yuxin was quiet. But he felt so bad at watching his sister being bullied by others.

“Sis, can you leave Rong City? Why don’t you go home? Please come back to Lin City. You are familiar with the hospitals in Lin City. If you can’t find a job, I can purchase a hospital for you.”

“All right, that’s enough.”

Su Qingsang had another phone call. “Jinyao is calling me. I can’t talk to you right now. Anyway, please let me deal with it and don’t tell mom.”

Su Yuxin was unwilling to hear her response, but he had no choice. After all, Rong City was Huo Jinyao’s place, and Su Yuxin believed that Huo Jinyao was capable of fixing this.

Su Qingsang hung up. This time, it was Shi Mengwan who called her.

She also loved using Weibo, and she found Su Qingsang was in trouble again.

Just like what she told Su Yuxin, Su Qingsang discouraged Shi Mengwan from coming to Rong City. Su Qingsang ended the call and couldn’t help but think about her bad luck.

“Doctor Su,” Li Meilin was worried. She didn’t expect Su Qingsang to have the mood to make phone calls. “If you don’t go now, you will not have the chance to leave. I am afraid those journalists are coming to the gynecology department at any minute.”

Now the journalists were stopped by the doctors and security guards. However, if more and more people came, they couldn’t be stopped anymore.

“Meilin, thank you.”

Su Qingsang thought for a second. Since these people’s target was her, it might be a way for her to hide temporarily.

But before she managed to hide herself, she received a phone call from the hospital administration.

Zhou Shaonan called by himself. “Doctor Su, where are you? Please come to the hospital administration office right now.”

“Sure.” Su Qingsang hung up. She was ready for this.

“Doctor Su?” Li Meilin also heard Su Qingsang talking on the phone, her eyes filled with concern.

“Thank you for your concern. I am fine.”

Su Qingsang patted Li Meilin’s shoulder. Whatever to say, Su Qingsang was touched at Li Meilin’s concern about her.

Out of her office, the office for hospital administration was at the end of the hallway. Su Qingsang was walking to it.

Half her way to the hospital administration, she received the call from Huo Jinyao.

“Qingsang, where are you?”

“I am at the hospital. What?”

“Stay there. Don’t move. I am coming to you.”

“Don’t bother. I am going to the hospital administration office. Mr. Zhou is looking for me.”

“Okay. Please wait for me there. I am coming.”

When talking with Huo Jinyao, she arrived at the door of the conference room for hospital administration.

“All right. I have to go now. Bye.”

Su Qingsang hung up the phone. Looking at the white door in front of her, she took a deep breath and walked in.

There were two more chief administrators present than yesterday. Su Qingsang saw them before but didn’t know their name.

“Hello, Mr. Zhou.”

Su Qingsang looked at them. In Lin City, when she was involved in the accident, with Zuo Hongchen being there, she was only asked to go home, take a rest, and wait for the investigation. Things were different now.

Looking at the situation before her, she was afraid she would not easily get past.

“Doctor Su.”

Zhou Shaonan was in a difficult spot. Yesterday, no matter how he pushed Li Hong, she refused to tell the truth.

She and her husband stuck to their story that it was Su Qingsang’s curses that caused her wound to open up.

They were so stubborn that Zhou Shaonan and another two heads of the hospital found no way to let them speak the truth.

The hospital was clear about Su Qingsang’s background. The first day Su Qingsang went to work, Huo Jinyao showed off at the hospital and stood by her.

The president of the Central Hospital in Rong City was Zhao Hongyu, who was a friend of Old Master Huo. They met before in private.

Su Qingsang was the wife of the president of Tianyu Group. If not necessary, there was no need to offend her.

Nevertheless, the situation in front of them was far beyond their expectation.

The hospital administration was torn by the situation. On the one hand, if they suspended Su Qingsang’s job, they were afraid to offend Tianyu Group; on the other hand, if they didn’t suspend her, with things being escalated, they had no idea how to face the journalists and patients’ families outside.

“Now, things have gone too far. What do you think we should do?”

Su Qingsang stood still. She understood the hospital’s concern, and she was no longer the new doctor fresh out of school.

“Doctor Su, we know you are framed. But now things turned out this way, you see——”

It was really hard for Zhou Shaonan. How could things end up like this? Why was he who had to deal with it?

He didn’t want to offend Tianyu Group.

“I know, and I understand.” Su Qingsang didn’t need him to finish his sentence. “Mr. Zhou, Mr. Chen, Mr. Huang, I have been framed. I believe in myself. But I also understand that the hospital had to give an answer to people outside. I also know you have to answer to the media and the public. So, I can accept the discipline of being suspended. I can come back to work after the accident is fully investigated.”

“Look at you. You are very sensible.” Zhou Shaonan looked awkward. As a matter of fact, if possible, they didn’t want to enforce the decision.

Su Qingsang didn’t need them to make it crystal clear and understood their meaning.

She bowed slightly at Zhou Shaonan. “Thank you, Mr. Zhou. I assure you, I will not make things difficult for the hospital.”

“Doctor Su, please don’t blame us. We are at our wit’s end.” Zhou Shaonan spoke in a diplomatic and bureaucratic tone. “Don’t worry. We believe your innocence, and as long as we straighten it out, we will clear your name.”

“Good. I am also waiting for the day to prove my innocence.”

Su Qingsang finished and walked out of the conference room. The moment she walked out of the door, the composure on her face disappeared immediately.

She was prepared for the discipline to be suspended. However, when the suspension was given, she still felt sad.

She just wanted to be a good doctor. Why? Why was it so hard?

Su Qingsang was walking to the department of gynecology. She was distracted by the suspension and forgot what Li Meilin just told her.

Before she walked to her office, she was crowded by a bunch of people in the hallway.

Among the people around her, the leading protestor, unquestionably, was Lin Gang, Li Hong’s husband.

He was with several people who seemed like journalists from different media. They either held a microphone or a recording pen, and some of them held a camera.

“It’s her. It’s her.”

The moment Lin Gang saw Su Qingsang, he opened his eyes wide and pointed his finger at Su Qingsang. His face was full of accusations.

“My friends, it’s her. She pushed down my wife and caused her wound to open up. It’s all her fault. It’s her.”

Before Su Qingsang responded to his words, she was surrounded by the journalists.

Actually, only half of them were journalists, and the other half was called to be here by Lin Gang.

They surrounded Su Qingsang. The one in front of her was a journalist from a local media.

“Excuse me, are you Doctor Su? What do you explain about you cursing the patients and causing the pregnant patient’s wound to open up?”

Explain? What to explain?

Su Qingsang didn’t answer the question. She wanted to draw back but only found people were standing behind her.

“Doctor Su, as a doctor, you have made so many inappropriate comments and had lots of unprofessional behavior. Do you think you should apologize to the patients and their families?”

There was no space for Su Qingsang to draw back. She looked at Lin Gang, her face calm. “I didn’t do anything wrong. Why should I apologize?”

“Look at her.” Lin Gang caught her words and pointed at Su Qingsnag among the crowd. “She is so rude. Have you seen a doctor who is so rude and bullying? I have never seen such a rude doctor.”

“Who is the bullying one?” Su Qingsang stared at Lin Gang’s face. “Who is bullying who? Why don’t Mr. Lin talk about what you have done?”

“The doctor is threatening me. I am so scared.” Lin Gang flinched back as if he was scared by Su Qingsang’s words.

Su Qingsang almost rolled her eyes. What had she said? How could her words become threats?

“Doctor Su, are you threatening the patient’s family? Do you know your license will be suspended because of what you just did?”

“Is it a threat?” Su Qingsang looked at the journalist who worked at some unknown tabloid that didn’t seem famous. “It looks like you are bad at Chinese. How could you be qualified as a journalist?”

“Why are you cursing me?” The journalist was agitated.

Su Qingsang cleared her throat. “You really have problems with your understanding ability. How did I curse you?”

“My journalist friends. You see by your eyes now. Did you see it? She is such a bullying doctor. She not only threatened the patient but also cursed the journalist.”

“Yes. Why is she so rude? It must be because she has a background.”

“You are right. You can’t do whatever you want just because you have relations. We won’t allow it. Apologize! We want your apology.”

People at present talked and argued as if the one who was being threatened and cursed was themselves.

Su Qingsang felt her head throbbing. She didn’t want to stay here anymore.

“Excuse me.”

“Look at her. She wants to go right now.”

Li Gang and his fellows stopped Su Qingsang on the one side, and the journalists stopped her on the other side.

Su Qingsang was surrounded by them and had no way to leave. She frowned.

“Excuse me. Please let me go. You are at the hospital.”

“We know we are at the hospital.” Lin Gang pointed at her. “I am afraid you may not know that. Huh? As a doctor, you committed malpractice. You almost killed your patient and cursed her. If you don’t give us an explanation today, you can’t leave.”

“Correct. You can’t get away with it.”

Other people echoed.

The hallway of the hospital was crowded with people. The leading journalist looked at Su Qingsang.

“Su Qingsang, a compensation aide, don’t you think you should apologize for what you have done?”

“Right. Apologize.”

“Yes, an apology. Let her apologize.”

“Apologize.”

“Apologize. Apologize.”

Not only those journalists, but also the patients’ families behind them were speaking up.

Dozens of people were echoing the protest, asking Su Qingsang to apologize.

Su Qingsang stood still. Never would she apologize. If she apologized, the thing she didn’t do would become her fault. How could she allow things to go this way?

However, the situation is a chaos at her disadvantage. She didn’t know if the hospital’s security guards and personnel were stopped by others.

Nobody was coming up at this time. Su Qingsang took a deep breath to calm her down.

She didn’t look at those journalists and those patients’ families. Nor did she look at passers-by.

She didn’t take a step back. Instead, she stepped forward to face Lin Gang.

“You said I cursed your wife and caused her wound to open up?”

“True,” Lin Gang was pretty firm. “What? You don’t want to admit? Let me tell you, I want you to apologize, and I want you to compensate for my loss.”

Su Qingsang was not dumb. How could she not understand what he intended? Lin Gang wanted money.

“Oh? Then, what do you think how much compensation is appropriate?”

Su Qingsang didn’t miss the excitement fleeting in Lin Gang’s eyes. She was waiting for him to answer.

Someone behind Lin Gang suddenly pulled Lin Gang’s arm heavily. He looked as if he sobered up.

“Who wanted your money? I don’t want your money. I just said I want you to compensate for my wife’s loss. It is your conduct that hurt another person, that is, my wife.”

“As to me, I have the right to ask you for an apology. Right?”

He didn’t fall within her trap? Su Qingsang looked at him and took another look at the person who pulled Lin Gang’s arm.

Lin Gang might do it for money. But what about other people?

“I didn’t do it. Why should I apologize?”

Su Qingsang knew it was not going to be resolved in a satisfactory way today. But she didn’t want to give up.

“Mr. Lin, I’ll say it again. I will not apologize because I did nothing wrong.”

Lin Gang didn’t expect Su Qingsang was so stubborn even though things were all against her at present.

At the thought of Li Hong who had a hysterectomy performed by Su Qingsang, Lin Gang was furious. All of a sudden, he pointed at Su Qingsang with his finger.

“The quack didn’t admit her mistake. What do you think we should do?”

“Apologize! Apologize!”

“Apologize! Apologize!”

“Yes, apologize!”

Su Qingsang looked them swarmings over her. She suddenly realized that she was too naive and reckless this time.

She drew back but was blocked by the journalists behind her. Going forward, she was faced with Lin Gang and his army of “medical dispute profiteers.”

People in the hallway were yelling. It was unclear who started it when Su Qingsang saw someone was throwing a punch at her.

She was shocked and wanted to dodge. It was too late.

The fist was closer and closer to her. Su Qingsang knew she couldn’t avoid it, her eyes closed, waiting for the upcoming pain.

Despite her powerlessness, she felt anger and indignation rising in her heart.
