Su Chang could understand the woman's feelings; after all, no one would feel good about their husband cheating on them. However, he didn't think this Dr. Song was a mistress, so he quickly said, "Sister, let's talk this out. Using force is illegal. Do you think there might be some misunderstanding with '790'? Don't let yourself get yourself into trouble; it would be a huge loss if your husband went out and found another woman." His tone was sincere and gentle, trying to calm the woman's anger.

Hearing Su Chang's words, the woman felt he made a lot of sense, so her expression softened. She ignored Dr. Song and turned to Su Chang, saying, "Handsome young man, you be the judge! My husband is Director Wang, the head of this department. This little vixen seduced him just to get a job at the hospital! Isn't she a shameless fox spirit?" Her eyes flashed with anger as she pointed at Dr. Song, as if she wanted to devour her whole.

Hearing the woman's words, Dr. Song felt even more aggrieved. Her lips trembled slightly, and tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly held them back: "When did I seduce Director Wang? Besides, I am an outstanding graduate of Fudan Medical School. I was recommended to this hospital by my advisor because of my excellent grades. Vice President Bao can testify for me." Her voice carried a hint of determination and defiance, as if she were proving her innocence to the woman.

Looking at the scene before him, Su Chang couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "What a farce!" Now that he had already intervened, he decided to help Dr. Song out of this predicament.

So he said gently to the woman, "Sister, you see, Dr. Song also said that she is an outstanding graduate of Fudan University School of Medicine, and Vice Dean Bao can also testify for her. Do you think there might be some misunderstanding? Or how do you know she's having an affair with your husband? Do you have any evidence?"

Upon hearing Su Chang's words, the woman's gaze gradually shifted from anger to confusion. Looking at Dr. Song, whose face was full of grievance, her anger subsided slightly.

"My best friend wouldn't lie to me, would she? She told me she saw you get into my husband's car." The woman's voice carried a hint of doubt, and her brows furrowed slightly, as if she was trying to think of something.

Dr. Song sighed helplessly, a hint of weariness and resignation in her eyes. She took a deep breath and slowly explained, "That day after get off work, it was raining, and I hadn't driven to work, so I was waiting for a taxi at the hospital entrance. Director Wang happened to drive out and saw me, asking if I wanted a ride home. I initially refused, but Director Wang kept asking, and I felt it wasn't right to keep refusing, so I had him take me to the subway station, and that's where I got off. There's really nothing between Director Wang and me."

The woman's expression didn't completely relax after hearing Dr. Song's explanation. She still asked incredulously, "Really? Then why does my husband only give you rides and not others?"

Dr. Song felt a wave of helplessness. She thought to herself, "This is a really difficult question to answer! Should I say it's because your husband is despicable and lusts after me? Wouldn't that just set off the gas stove and cause it to explode?" A trace of worry flashed in her eyes as she didn't know how to deal with the question.

Seeing that Dr. Song wasn't answering, the woman was about to explode when Su Chang quickly stepped in front of her, a determined look on his face. He looked at the woman and said without flinching, "Sister, I think there's something wrong with your question."

The woman's face instantly darkened, and she looked at Su Chang with a hostile gaze, as if she were looking at a traitor. But she still suppressed her anger and asked, "What's wrong with what I said?"

Su Chang was not intimidated by the woman's imposing manner. He met her gaze and said calmly, "Sister, look, when you asked Dr. Song why she got on the bus, didn't she answer you?"

The woman nodded, but her eyes remained fixed on Su Chang, as if waiting for him to continue.

Su Chang continued, "Sis, you asked your husband why he gave Dr. Song a ride. How would Dr. Song know the answer to that? Shouldn't you ask your husband instead?"

Upon hearing Su Chang's words, the woman's expression became complicated. Her brows furrowed even more, and a thoughtful glint appeared in her eyes.

Seeing the change in the woman's expression, Su Chang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew his words had worked, and the woman was beginning to reconsider the matter. He pressed his advantage, saying, "Sis, isn't your best friend less happy than you?"

The woman looked at Su Chang with surprise and asked, "Handsome young man, how did you know?"

Su Chang said with an expression that said, "Sis, do you think it's possible that your best friend is just jealous that you are happier than her, so she deliberately tried to drive a wedge between you and your husband, and since you haven't communicated with your husband, this misunderstanding has arisen."

The woman's gaze softened, and she nodded, saying, "Yes, you're right. I should ask my husband. Thank you, young man." She then glanced at Dr. Song, the hostility in her eyes lessening considerably, and said, "I'm sorry, Dr. Song, I may have misunderstood."

Dr. Song was stunned by Su Chang's actions and just hoped the woman would leave quickly. She waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "It's alright, Madam Wang, as long as the misunderstanding is cleared up, that's all that matters." Then, Dr. Song gave Su Chang a grateful look...

The woman nodded, then smiled and greeted the two of them before rushing out. As for whether she was going to see her husband or her best friend, Su Chang didn't care.

After the woman left, both Dr. Song and Su Chang breathed a sigh of relief. Dr. Song then gently removed his mask, gave Su Chang a thumbs-up, and said with a grateful smile, "Mr. Su, you're amazing, thank you so much."

Su Chang's gaze fell on Dr. Song's face, and he couldn't help but pause for a moment, thinking to himself, "Isn't this Nazha?" A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but then his mind started to race again. He quickly waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's nothing, Dr. Song, it was just a small favor."

Dr. Song had been carefully observing Su Chang's reaction. When she noticed that Su Chang had taken off his mask, he was slightly taken aback, but his eyes didn't show the possessive look that others found annoying. Dr. Song secretly breathed a sigh of relief and understood why Su Chang was so calm; after all, the women around him were all stunningly beautiful.

Then, Dr. Song's expression turned serious. She said earnestly, "Mr. Su, my name is Song Xingchen. You can just call me by my name. This matter may be a small thing to you, but it is of utmost importance to me. If it weren't for you, I would not only have been beaten up today, but I might also have ruined my reputation. How about I treat you to dinner after I get off work?"

Su Chang was secretly delighted; he couldn't be happier to have dinner with a beautiful woman. However, he didn't agree immediately. Instead, he pretended to be calm and said, "My name is Su Chang. Don't keep calling me Mr. Su. Just call me Su Chang. There's really no need for dinner. Besides, I'm quite busy today, so let's skip it."

Hearing that Su Chang had something to do today, Song Xingchen's face showed a hint of disappointment, but she quickly smiled again and said, "Then handsome Su Chang, let's add a Green Bubble to our menu. I'll treat you to dinner when you have time."

Su Chang was secretly pleased with herself, but on the surface she still pretended to be reluctant and said, "Well... okay then." But she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.

He then quickly took out his phone, deftly opened the QR code, and held it out to Song Xingchen. Song Xingchen was taken aback by Su Chang's actions, thinking to herself, "What happened to 'reluctantly'?" But she still immediately took out her phone, scanned the QR code, and added Su Chang as a friend.

Su Chang knew this wasn't the time to chat, so she said goodbye to Song Xingchen and turned to leave. Once outside, Su Chang smiled smugly and then murmured, "Done! Song Xingchen, you can't escape now."

He then mentally checked in, and only then did he realize that Song Xingchen was the female lead of "Love in the Mortal World". From her, Su Chang also checked in and gained an emergency skill. Su Chang smiled slightly and walked towards Fang Zhiheng's ward.

Meanwhile, in the office, Song Xingchen's mind was filled with the image of Su Chang protecting her, his outstanding looks, and his gentle eyes. She shook her head and muttered, "Don't be silly, Song Xingchen. Such a handsome young man must already be taken. Didn't you see all those beautiful women around him?"

Chapter 236 The Zhu Siblings

But then Song Xingchen seemed to switch personalities and muttered, "Song Xingchen, how can you be so cowardly? You didn't even ask, how do you know he's already taken? Maybe he's still single, you still have a chance."

Next, two little figures, one black and one white, appeared in Song Xingchen's mind and began to fight fiercely.

In the end, Song Xingchen could only pound her head a couple of times before muttering, "Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. Anyway, with Su Chang's green bubble, I can just ask him directly when I ask him out in the future."

That evening, Su Chang had Guan Xiaodi accompany Fang Zhiheng, Cui Tianqi take care of Qin Shi, and he drove Ye Zhenzhen back to Ode to Joy. Just as the elevator reached the first floor, they suddenly saw Zhu Zhe and a young man leading two young girls and an older woman into the building.

Su Chang's heart skipped a beat; he guessed the identities of these three people. Ye Zhenzhen looked at Zhu Zhe with curiosity, her eyes sparkling and a smile playing on her lips, asking curiously, "Gigi, what's this...?"

Zhu Zhe looked at the two of them with a calm expression and a warm smile on her face. She introduced them: "Mr. Su, Zhenzhen, these two are my younger brother and sister, Zhu Minjie and Zhu Tingting. These two are my brother's girlfriend, Xiaojie, and her mother. They are accompanying their aunt to Shanghai for medical treatment."

Ye Zhenzhen then remembered that Zhu Zhe had told her about this before, but she still greeted everyone warmly, "Hello, Auntie! Hello, younger brothers and sisters!" Her voice was clear and melodious, like a spring breeze brushing past people's ears.

Su Chang nodded indifferently, his expression calm and indifferent, as if he didn't care about anything. A hint of weariness was visible in his eyes, as if he were thinking about his own things.

Seeing that the two were dressed in rich and noble attire, Zhu Minjie and Zhu Tingting greeted them with fawning smiles, saying, "Hello, brother and sister!" Their faces were full of smiles, and their eyes were full of expectation and flattery.

Xiao Jie and her mother smiled and nodded in response. Xiao Jie's smile carried a hint of restraint and unease. She felt inferior in front of Ye Zhenzhen. The sense of superiority she had in her hometown had vanished at this moment.

After that, no one spoke again, except for Ye Zhenzhen and Zhu Zhe, who kept exchanging glances. Ye Zhenzhen's eyes gleamed with a cunning light, and she would wink at Zhu Zhe from time to time, seemingly hinting at something. Zhu Zhe, on the other hand, frowned slightly, a troubled look on his face.

Su Chang was speechless at the way the two women were communicating, thinking to herself, "Are you sure you're having effective communication? Can you even understand what you're saying?"

When they reached the 22nd floor, Zhu Zhe and his group got off the elevator first. Su Chang was about to wait for Ye Zhenzhen to leave before going upstairs to rest. After all, he was exhausted from the day and really didn't want to move. But Ye Zhenzhen pulled Su Chang out, her hand tightly gripping his arm, as if afraid he would run away.

Su Chang looked at Ye Zhenzhen with a puzzled expression, his brows furrowed and his eyes filled with confusion. He asked, "No, Ye Zhenzhen, I'm really tired today. I want to go upstairs to rest. Where are you taking me?"

Ye Zhenzhen pulled Su Chang out while whispering, "Hey! Don't rush upstairs, let's go to my place first. In case Gigi needs help later, we can go and help her." Her voice was filled with anxiety and concern.

Su Chang looked at Ye Zhenzhen, who was so kind-hearted, and was speechless. He knew that Ye Zhenzhen was a kind and warm-hearted girl who was always willing to help others.

He sighed helplessly and said, "Alright, stop pulling and tugging. I'll go with you." His tone was indulgent, as if he was used to Ye Zhenzhen's behavior.

As soon as Ye Zhenzhen and Su Chang stepped out of the elevator, they heard Zhu Minjie's exaggerated voice: "So clean, so high-end, you're living in a nice place, sis!" His eyes were wide open, filled with envy.

Zhu Tingting chimed in, "That's amazing! People who work in big cities definitely live in different places." Her face was full of amazement as she looked around the room.

Zhu Zhe quickly explained, a hint of embarrassment on her face: "We're three girls sharing a small apartment. Otherwise, I couldn't afford the rent in such a nice neighborhood even if you paid me." As she spoke, she opened the door and warmly invited, "Come in, Auntie! Come in!"

As soon as everyone entered, He Minhong quickly stood up and asked Zhu Zhe with a smile, "You've arrived?" Her smile was very kind and made people feel very warm.

Yu Chuhui rushed out of the room at this moment and said, "Sister Zhu, is it family?" Her tone was very warm and her eyes revealed curiosity.

Zhu Zhe nodded in agreement, "Ah." Her voice was very soft, as if she were a little embarrassed.

Yu Chuhui quickly said, "Then I'll pour you some water!" She moved swiftly, turning around to get the cups.

Zhu Zhe quickly said, "Thank you!" A grateful expression appeared on her face.

Xiao Jie's mother then politely asked, "Shall we change our shoes?" Her voice was gentle, but with a hint of restraint.

He Minhong quickly waved her hand and said, "No need, Auntie, please come in first." Her smile was so bright that it was impossible to refuse.

After everyone had entered, Su Chang and Ye Zhenzhen exchanged a glance before heading to room 2203. Su Chang went straight to the living room and sat on the sofa, his movements casual, as if he were in his own home.

Ye Zhenzhen was hiding by the door, gazing at 2202 with a hint of curiosity in her eyes, as if she wanted to know what was happening inside. Su Chang was speechless when he saw her, but he was too lazy to say anything, so he closed his eyes to rest.

Meanwhile, He Minhong and Yu Chuhui were in charge of entertaining Xiao Jie and her daughter. Zhu Zhe led his younger siblings to his room, where they saw the worn-out sheets and the simple living conditions.

Zhu Tingting immediately looked at Zhu Zhe with a look of disgust and said, "Sister, you should change these sheets too." Her voice was tinged with dissatisfaction, and she frowned as she spoke.

Zhu Zhe replied nonchalantly, "Why change it? It's still usable." Her tone was firm, seemingly unconcerned about her sister's opinion.

Zhu Minjie then asked, "Sister, where are we going to stay tonight?" A hint of worry appeared on his face, and his eyes revealed his dissatisfaction with the accommodation.

Zhu Zhe pointed to the foam mat in the corner and said with a look of sudden realization, "Look, that foam mat was prepared for you." There was a hint of helplessness in her voice, as if she was also somewhat dissatisfied with this arrangement.

Zhu Minjie stared wide-eyed at the foam mat in the corner, his face full of astonishment, as if he had seen something unbelievable.

Zhu Zhe, however, acted as if he hadn't seen anything and continued nonchalantly: "Put on two more layers, they're soft and warm, I've already tried it for you. You can sleep in the hallway outside tonight. It's inconvenient for a grown man like you to stay in this house full of women. If you need to use the toilet, wash your face, brush your teeth, or anything like that, just go to the public restroom on the first floor."

Zhu Minjie's face instantly turned extremely gloomy. His voice trembled with anger as he roared, "No, sleeping outside the door?" His eyes were filled with disbelief and rage.

Zhu Zhe, however, acted as if it were the most natural thing in the world and replied, "Then where are you going to sleep? Hotels in Shanghai are so expensive! You should save your money. Why don't you save some money and buy some clothes for your second sister?" Her tone was firm, as if there was no room for negotiation.

When Zhu Tingting heard Zhu Zhe mention her, she immediately put on an innocent expression and interjected, "I didn't bring many coats with me this time. Can I borrow some clothes to wear?"

Zhu Zhe pointed to his wardrobe and said nonchalantly, "Okay, my clothes are all in the closet. Pick them yourself."

As soon as Zhu Zhe agreed, Zhu Tingting couldn't wait to get up and rush to Zhu Zhe's wardrobe.

Zhu Minjie heard Xiao Jie's mother outside asking Yu Chuhui if he was living in a cramped apartment in Shanghai. He became increasingly agitated and finally could not bear it any longer.

Zhu Zhe, however, seemed oblivious to everything and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?" Her expression appeared somewhat innocent.

Zhu Minjie took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then said, "Sister, her mother came to see a doctor and needs to rest. It's not appropriate for you to sleep on the floor." His tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction and helplessness.

Zhu Zhe replied matter-of-factly, "Of course it's not appropriate. I'll give the bed to the elders. We're young and strong, we can make do for a couple of days." There was no trace of guilt or hesitation on her face.

Zhu Minjie was too lazy to beat around the bush anymore, and he asked directly, "Sister, do you have any hotels around here? Let's stay at a hotel." His eyes revealed a hint of determination.

Zhu Zhe patiently said, "Shanghai is the most expensive place to stay. A bed in a decent hotel starts at 100 yuan. Why would you stay in a hotel? You're not here for medical treatment..." Before she could finish, Zhu Minjie impatiently interrupted her.

Zhu Minjie frowned deeply, his voice filled with obvious dissatisfaction, and said, "Big sister, can you lend me some money to stay in a hotel?" He was filled with helplessness and dissatisfaction with Zhu Zhe, feeling that she was too selfish and inconsiderate.

Zhu Zhe, feigning surprise, exclaimed loudly, "You came to see a doctor without any money? Where would I get any money? After supporting both of you through university, I'm drowning in debt, and I still haven't paid it off. The reason I made you sleep on the floor was to save some money to help me pay off my debts. This compounding interest is killing me; I have no way to survive."

Chapter 237 Double Act

Hearing Zhu Zhe's words, Zhu Minjie looked blank, seemingly not yet understanding. Meanwhile, Xiao Jie's mother in the living room felt extremely uncomfortable, her face flushed with embarrassment, wishing she could disappear into the floor. She gently nudged her daughter's arm and gestured towards the balcony. Xiao Jie understood and followed her mother to the balcony.

Upon reaching the balcony, Xiaojie's mother stared at Xiaojie with a gloomy expression and said in a low voice, "Xiaojie, that's not what you told me."

Xiao Jie sighed helplessly and explained softly, "Mom, don't be angry. I'll go ask Zhu Minjie first, is that alright?"

Xiao Jie's mother waved her hand helplessly and said, "Go ahead." Xiao Jie turned and left, her face so gloomy it seemed like it could drip water, and her steps were unusually heavy.

In Zhu Zhe's room, Zhu Tingting picked up two pieces of clothing, looked at Zhu Zhe with a dissatisfied expression, and complained, "No, sis, are you really going to live in Shanghai wearing this?"

Zhu Zhe seemed completely unconcerned. While tidying her clothes, she said, "I wear a uniform at the hotel during the day, and after get off work it's dark, so it doesn't matter what I wear. I'll save money wherever I can."

Zhu Tingting grumbled discontentedly, "What kind of life are you living?" As she spoke, she casually threw her clothes on the bed.

Just then, Xiao Jie arrived at Zhu Zhe's room. Her eyes were cold and resolute as she stared intently at Zhu Minjie, completely ignoring Zhu Zhe and Zhu Tingting, as if trying to see through his eyes to his true thoughts.

She said coldly, "Zhu Minjie, come out with me for a moment."

"Okay." Zhu Minjie nodded in agreement immediately upon seeing this. He glanced at Zhu Zhe, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes, but still followed Xiao Jie out of the room.

Watching them walk away, Zhu Tingting couldn't help but complain, "If they're so obedient to their girlfriends now, who knows what they'll be like in the future?"

Zhu Zhe's eyes darted around, and a sly smile appeared on her face. She said, half-jokingly, "I think it's all going well. Seeing that you all have found your place, I feel at ease. Once I pay off my debts, I'll be at peace."

Then, she pretended to suddenly realize something and looked at Zhu Tingting, asking, "Tingting, when are you planning to hold the wedding banquet? How much was the bride price? Did you give the bride price?" Her voice carried a hint of expectation, as if she was waiting for Zhu Tingting's answer.

As he spoke, Zhu Zhe pulled Zhu Tingting to sit on the bed, looking at her expectantly and asking, "Could you give me twenty or thirty thousand to help me pay off my debts?"
