Chapter 593: Rumors


    He’d thought he could shield Xinghe by maintaining his rather neutral stance, but in the end, he was in


    the same boat as her. Just how slow am I?


    Xinghe nodded. “She’s after both of us. She knows your rtionship to the Xi family and now you’ve


    hired me as your assistant, so no matter whether you can cure the president or not, they will be


    guarded against you. To prevent idents from happening, the best solution is to chase you and me


    away.” “That’s why Lin Qian has been spreading rumors that you’re Mr. Nan Gua, thus applying


    pressure to us…” Lu Qi finally caught up to the situation.


    “That’s right.” Xinghe’s eyes shone. “But that is fine, no matter what kind of tricks they pull, it will not


    work.”


    “You’vee up with a solution?”


    “There’s no need for one.” Xinghe smiled. “After all, a straight foot is not afraid of a crooked shoe.”


    Lu Qi sighed in relief. “You’re right, as long as we do nothing wrong ande with only the intention to


    help the president, we have no need to be afraid of them. But don’t worry, if anything does happen, I


    will shield you from the front. I don’t believe she will really dare to do something against me.”


    Xinghe was thankful even though she really wasn’t afraid. If she was, then she wouldn’t be Xia Xinghe!

    Due to Lin Qian’s intervention, Lu Qi decided to iste himself from the other doctors. Since they


    would only see him through Lin Qian’s tainted filter, then he might as well focus on his own research,


    instead of wasting time with them.


    Xinghe, like usual, didn’t care about what others thought about her; she was focused fully with Lu Qi on


    the mechanical heart research. They were absolutely focused on their work. They would spend the


    whole day at theb perfecting the design and would leave only when the moon was high in the sky.


    Due to Lin Qian’s malicious rumors, the way everyone looked at them changed. They knew of Xinghe’s


    past, that she was a divorcee. However, Lu Qi came from a good family, a dashing bachelor, they all


    thought Xinghe was not good enough for him, especially, the younger female doctors, who had googly


    eyes around Lu Qi.


    This increased their annoyance towards Xinghe. Every time they passed her, they would give her a


    chilling side-eye. Other people also started to look at her curiously.


    Needless to say, Xinghe knew these people were influenced by Lin Qian’s words into having a


    prejudice against her. Thankfully, she was impervious to other people’s looks so she didn’t bend over


    backwards to exin herself to these people.


    Eventually, sometime after their altercation, Xinghe finally stumbled across Lin Qian again at the


    president’s house. She had beside her a young girl, the girl was cute, she looked just over twenty. Lin


    Qian was chatting happily with the girl, but when she saw Xinghe, her face frosted over. The girl also


    noticed Xinghe who was walking their way.


    “Sister Lin Qian, who is she?” the girl queried.


    Lin Qian red at Xinghe and scoffed, “Who else but Mr. Nan Gua?”


    “Mr. Nan Gua?” The girl was confused. What kind of name is this?


    Lin Qian didn’t exin but added, “She is the famous Xia Xinghe that caused your Sister Lin Jing to


    lose her belovedpany.”


    The girl widened her eyes in shock. “That’s her?”


    “That’s right, take a good look at the shameless woman. She doesn’t know anything about medicine


    but is now at the president’s house to help cure the president’s illness apparently, so everyone refers to


    her as Mr. Nan Gua..”
