Chapter 1100 Xu Youning’s Stunning Sense of Logic

Xu Youning had been working beside Mu Sijue for a year and had seen all kinds of tricks.

She saw through Fang Heng’s ploy and harrumphed. “Fang Heng, don’t even think of changing the topic!”

Fang Heng pondered for a moment before decisively changing the topic. “You know what? The tone you used was very similar to a certain person’s.”

Xu Youning ignored what Fang Heng said as she asked, “Do you mean that the tone I used to use was not like a person’s?”

Fang Heng was stunned as he was shocked by Xu Youning’s stunning sense of logic.

He concluded that to get a more efficient result, he should be frank than beat around the bush to deal with a person like Xu Youning.

Fang Heng raised his hands as he chose to compromise. “Since you’ve asked, I’ll get straight to the point. Your tone just now was very similar to Mu Qi’s!”

Suddenly hearing Mu Sijue’s name, Xu Youning was stunned.

She had heard a saying that if people were in love with someone for real, they would unconsciously imitate that person’s attitude and tone.

If Fang Heng hadn’t mentioned it, she wouldn’t have realized at all when her words and deeds had been marked with Mu Sijue’s traces.

Fang Heng didn’t hear Xu Youning speak for a long time. He thought that by mentioning Mu Sijue, he had directly touched Xu Youning’s sore spot. He coughed and said in a reminding tone, “Ms. Xu, don’t dwell on my words. I just wanted to remind you.”

Xu Youning grew silent.

Since Fang Heng had said so, there was no reason for her to not follow his way out.

She came back to her senses and continued with Fang Heng’s words. “What are you reminding me of?”

“You should try to erase what you learned from Mu Qi.” Fang Heng said directly and carefully, “When you really like someone, the traces are very obvious. You should be glad that Kang Ruicheng is not familiar with Mu Qi, otherwise, you would have exposed yourself in front of Kang Ruicheng long ago.”

Xu Youning didn’t say anything.

She thought about it and suddenly felt that Fang Heng’s words made sense.

She was silent for a long time before she said, “Got it.”

Hearing that Xu Youning’s tone had grown nicer, Fang Heng struck while the iron was hot and quickly changed the topic. “Also, about the surgery, I think I need to explain it to you-”

“You don’t need to explain that to me.” Xu Youning said in a relaxed tone, shrugging her shoulders, “I was mad just now, and my mood hasn’t been very stable recently. I’m sorry. Don’t mind what I’ve said.”

Fang Heng nodded. “Even if your mood is unstable, I still need to tell you what you should know.” He insisted on continuing his words, “The reason why I told Kang Ruicheng that you have a chance to recover is just a way I used to protect you. I have a backup plan, so you don’t need to worry about what you should do if Kang Ruicheng really wants you to take the operation. I will help you solve it once and for all, and I’ll make Kang Ruicheng completely give up on the operation.”

Xu Youning didn’t speak for the time being.

She knew that if she was dragged to the hospital for the operation by Kang Ruicheng, Fang Heng would tell him that she would definitely die on the operating table.

In this way, Kang Ruicheng would no longer force her to take the operation.

“That’s not a bad idea, but…”

Fang Heng didn’t know what Xu Youning was thinking. Without waiting for her answer, he continued, “As for why this method can protect you, listen to my explanation. Now, you have quarreled with Kang Ruicheng. In the next few days, you have the excuse to ignore him. As long as you don’t contact Kang Ruicheng, the probability of you being exposed will be lower. Do you understand what I mean?”

“Yes.” Xu Youning thought for a moment and stopped calling Fang Heng by his name. She changed the way she addressed him and said, “Dr. Fang, thank you.”

“Hey, you don’t need to be so courteous.” Fang Heng was shocked by Xu Youning’s sudden change of attitude and hurriedly said, “I just feel that it’s not easy to work as a doctor. Not only do I need to treat you, but I’m also required to put on an act for you. Tsk, tsk, I will ask Mu Qi to increase my salary!”

At the mention of Mu Sijue, Xu Youning couldn’t help smiling and said, “You can just talk to Mu Sijue about it.”

Fang Heng expressed his doubts. “Ms. Xu, are you sure I can do that?”

“I’m sure.” Xu Youning told Fang Heng with certainty and determination, “Mu Sijue has always been generous in this kind of thing. As long as your work performance satisfies his requirements, he will grant your wish no matter what you ask for.”

“Tut-tut!” Fang Heng teased her on purpose, “You do know Mu Qi!”

Xu Youning certainly understood the teasing meaning in Fang Heng’s words.

But this time, she did not intend to refute.

Xu Youning smiled and nodded directly. “I do know him. If you want to know something more about him, you can come to me.”

Before that, Fang Heng had also mentioned Mu Sijue in front of Xu Youning, but her previous reaction was far less calm.

Now, Xu Youning seemed to be able to face her feelings directly.

“Hmm, this is definitely a good thing!”

Although Fang Heng was very dissatisfied with Mu Sijue on a certain level, in this case, he still breathed a sigh of relief on his behalf and said, “Ms. Xu, Kang Ruicheng can check the call history between us. If we talk too long, it will inevitably arouse his suspicion. However, I’m glad that he can’t hear our conversation, otherwise, we will both get killed. That’s it for now. Let’s contact each other if anything happens.”

“Okay,” Xu Youning replied. After a while, she hung up the phone.

She sat down and thought about what would happen next.

Because of the contradiction just now between her and Kang Ruicheng, in the next few days, she had an excuse to ignore him openly, and she would have no risk of being exposed.

However, in a few days, whether she was willing or not, she had to forgive Kang Ruicheng.

In this family, although she received the same treatment as Kang Ruicheng, she would never forget that this man was the real owner of this house, and she couldn’t make too much trouble.

If she went too far and gave herself away, she might get herself killed in this house at any time.

Therefore, even though Fang Heng’s method could temporarily help her, it wasn’t a long-term solution after all.

There were still many things she had to be careful about.

Xu Youning just sat there. It didn’t take long for Mumu to get up with the quilt. He looked at Xu Youning in a daze and asked, “Auntie Youning, what time is it now?”

Xu Youning checked the time and said, “It’s five o’clock in the afternoon. What’s wrong?”

Mumu touched his stomach and said pitifully, “I’m a little hungry…”

The child was still growing, so it was normal for him to suddenly feel hungry.

Xu Youning touched the little boy’s head, helped him put on his coat, and said, “Dinner should be ready. I’ll take you downstairs for dinner.”

“Okay!” Mumu jumped up and kissed Xu Youning. “Thank you, Auntie Youning.”

Xu Youning went downstairs directly with the little boy.

When she could see the first floor, she subconsciously looked at the dining room to see if the food was ready, but she didn’t expect to see Kang Ruicheng first.

Kang Ruicheng didn’t seem to recover from his rage. His handsome face grew darkened. He sat on the sofa like Death. His men obviously kept a respectful distance from him and didn’t dare to approach within five meters of him.

However, Xu Youning was not afraid.

The conflict between her and Kang Ruicheng had just happened. Now, she could completely ignore him.

Xu Youning held Mumu’s hand and swaggered past Kang Ruicheng. Not only did she not greet the man, but she didn’t even look at him. She went straight to the dining room and sat down by the table.

Mumu was not only smart but also a relatively sensitive child. He immediately noticed that there was something wrong with the atmosphere between Kang Ruicheng and Xu Youning.

He didn’t ask Xu Youning directly. He glanced around and found that Dongzi was outside. He slipped off the chair flexibly and ran out. He looked up at Dongzi and asked eagerly, “Uncle Dongzi, what happened to my daddy and Auntie Youning? Did they quarrel?”

In the afternoon, when Kang Ruicheng and Xu Youning had a dispute in the afternoon, Dongzi wasn’t present. He just listened to the rough description of the situation by the brothers who were present at that time.

Judging from their words, it seemed that Kang Ruicheng and Xu Youning had quite a dispute by then.

Dongzi thought for a moment. He then pulled Mumu away and said, “Yeah. Your daddy had a quarrel with Youning.”

Mumu blinked his eyes, which were full of confusion. “Daddy and Aunt Youning were fine yesterday, weren’t they? Why did they quarrel today?”

Dongzi seemed to be in a dilemma. He looked at Mumu with mixed feelings and said, “You’re too young. You won’t understand even if I tell you the reason…”

“How could it be? I understand whatever you say!” Mumu tilted his head and said that with a firm tone as if he had to get an answer from Dongzi.

Dongzi had no choice but to tell the little boy honestly, “Dr. Fang told your daddy that there’s a chance that Youning’s illness can be cured soon, but the failure rate of the operation is as high as 90%.”

Although Mumu didn’t stay with Kang Ruicheng until he was four years old, he still knew him well.

The little boy thought for a moment, looked up at Dongzi, and asked, “Uncle Dongzi, Daddy forced Auntie Youning to take the operation, but she was unwilling to take it, so they quarreled. Is that what happened?”

Dongzi looked at Mumu in surprise. “How did you know that?”

If his brothers hadn’t told him about the sequence of events, he wouldn’t have been able to deduce anything from scattered clues at all.

How did Mumu, a five-year-old child, know that?

Mumu knew that he had guessed correctly, but he wasn’t quite happy about it. He lowered his head and said softly, “I don’t know what’s going on between Daddy and Auntie Youning, but I know what kind of person Daddy is.”

For a moment, Dongzi was speechless.

Mumu pursed his lips and raised his head, saying, “Uncle Dongzi, thank you.”

After that, the little boy turned back to the house, and Dongzi couldn’t stop him.
