Chapter 286


    Ning Ran was packing her belongings, getting ready to be discharged, when the hospital director and


    Zou Gang opened the door and walked in.


    Nan Chen was the one who suggested that she leave the hospital. He had already informed her that


    Qiao Zhan would be there shortly to pick her up.


    Ning Ran was happy to oblige, as she was almost losing her sanity from staying in the hospital.


    When the woman saw the director and the doctor, she immediately put down her phone and greeted


    them.


    “Ms. Ding, are you preparing to be discharged already?”


    “Yes, I am feeling a lot better. There’s no need for me to continue staying here. Thanks for your care


    these two days, director and Dr. Zou,” Ning Ran said politely.


    “I would like to apologize to Ms. Ding on Zou Gang’s behalf. If he has offended you, please forgive him


    just this once.”


    The director shot a nce at Zou Gang, who immediately bowed down to Ning Ran.


    “Please don’t do that, I can’t afford it. Besides, it’s not necessary as you haven’t offended me at all,”


    Ning Ran was shocked by the man’s sudden gesture.


    “Ms. Ding, we had specially customized the lunch menu for you, taking into consideration your specific


    health concerns. However, we didn’t know Mr. Nan would be sending lunch to you too. I was ignorant


    and did not recognize Sir Chen. He’s now forcing me to resign as I have upset him. I have just started


    my career in medicine and do not wish to leave the hospital. I hope Ms. Ding can forgive me and give


    me another chance!”


    The arrogance Zou Gang had previously disyed hadpletely disappeared and was reced with


    a glum expression. He bowed and apologized repeatedly.


    “Ms. Ding, my nephew had a tough childhood. He lost his parents to a car ident when he was very


    young and has been under my care since. It wasn’t easy for him to get his medical license. If he’s fired


    when he has barely even started his career, it would be greatly detrimental to his future career


    prospects. Please give him another opportunity, Ms. Ding. If you can give him a chance to repent, we


    will forever be indebted to you and remember your kindness!” The director said and motioned for Zou


    Gang to continue bowing to Ning Ran.


    Zou Gang’s analysis was right. That was indeed Ning Ran’s soft spot.


    The woman had also lost her mom at a young age, so she could definitely empathize with the painful


    feelings associated with that situation.


    Besides, Zou Gang had notmitted any grave mistake. He had merely personally delivered lunch to


    Ning Ran. Even though he behaved in a rather frivolous manner, the man had no ill-intentions.


    Even if he had acted inappropriately, it wasn’t serious enough for him to lose his job.


    The reason he hadnded himself in his current circumstances was only because the person he had


    offended was Nan Chen.


    “It isn’t such a serious matter. You don’t have to behave in this manner.”


    Ning Ran waved her hand, as an indication that they should stop bowing to her. She was feeling


    extremely uneasy with their behavior.


    The director and Zou Gang shot each other a meaningful look, as they saw hope for the situation.


    “But Zou Gang is already being asked to resign, if he doesn’t do that, there will be many others who will


    be implicated, including myself,” the director said, pulling a long face.


    “Don’t worry about it, I will think of a way. However, Dr. Zou has indeed crossed the line in his disy of


    concern for his female patients. It would be better for him to act in a more appropriate manner in the


    future,” Ning Ran advised in a tactful manner.


    Feeling ashamed, Zou Gang replied, “I’m sorry, Ms. Ding. I have learned my lesson and will definitely


    keep myself in check in the future.”


    “Great, let’s leave it at that then. You can stop worrying so much. There’s no need for you to resign.


    Just wait for my good news,” Ning Ran said.


    Zou Gang and his uncle were ted at the reassurance and thanked the woman continuously.


    “You guys should hurry and leave. Someone ising to pick me up soon. If he sees you, you might


    have to exin yourselves all over again,” Ning Ran urged.


    Upon hearing that, the director and Zou Gang left the room at once.


    Qiao Zhan arrived at the hospital right after the both of them left.


    He was already done with the discharge procedures and Ning Ran was able to leave the hospital


    straight away.

    The woman’s spirits soared the moment she stepped out of the hospital.


    She finally understood why people always emphasized being healthy was one’s greatest blessing.


    “Ding, you are already discharged?”


    Ning Ran looked towards the direction of the pleasant voice and saw Tang Jing.


    She was carrying a few bags, which looked like supplements and tonics for Ning Ran.


    The woman had not changed out of her drama costume and had the same makeup on. From the looks


    of it, she had most likely rushed to the hospital directly from the film set. It was a rather considerate


    gesture.


    “Why are you here? Has filming ended already?” Ning Ran asked.


    “Not yet, but I was concerned about you, so I applied for leave from Director Wang to visit you. Are you


    already discharged? Why don’t you stay under observation and rest for a few more days?”


    “I’m almost bored to death! I just want to get out of here quickly. I really can’t take it anymore,” Ning


    Ran said with a chortle.


    “Since you are already discharged from the hospital, there’s no need for me to go in anymore. I’m just


    happy to have caught you before you left,” Tang Jing said.


    Ning Ran felt bad after hearing what the woman said. She’s here to visit me. Even though I am already


    discharged, it doesn’t seem very nice to leave her standing at the hospital entrance.


    “Do you want toe to my house to chill for a while?” Ning Ran extended a casual invite.


    “Sure!”


    Tang Jing answered almost immediately, as a twinkle appeared in her eye.


    It was obvious she was delighted at the invitation, almost as if it was exactly what she had been waiting


    for.


    Ning Ran was also surprised that Tang Jing had agreed so readily.


    Since she had already asked, it didn’t seem right for her to take it back.


    As such, after Tang Jing got into the car, they set off towards Ning Ran’s vi at Red Maple City.


    Tang Jing was visibly extremely excited. “Ding, this is the first time I’m going to your house even though


    we’ve been working with each other for quite a while. Where is your ce at?”


    “Yup, but strictly speaking, it isn’t my house. I’m just staying there temporarily. We’ve been so busy


    filming; I haven’t been able to invite you over. Since we have such a golden opportunity today, it’s only


    right that we make use of the chance to catch up,” Ning Ran said with a smile.


    “Exactly! We should get to know each other better,” Tang Jing replied in agreement at once.


    The exchange between the two women flowed smoothly, and they seemed to be getting along very


    well.


    Tang Jing had a very high EQ and knew the right things to say in any conversation.


    Ning Ran was someone who always spoke her mind. She did not usually guard herself against anyone,


    especially during a chat which she was enjoying. Moreover, she was not a scheming person, to begin


    with.


    Soon, they arrived at the Red Maple City vi. Tang Jing had seen quite a lot in life and did not seem


    very impressed when she saw the vi. In fact, she looked slightly disappointed.


    The woman had expected Ning Ran to be staying with the Nan family, the most powerful family in


    Flower City. Naturally, the family’s residence would look much more luxurious than the vi she was


    looking at right now. This house looked too ordinary and did not fit into the image of the Nan family’s


    residence in Tang Jing’s imagination.


    “This isn’t the Nan residence right?” Tang Jing asked carefully.


    “Nope, the Nan residence is at the Commoner Residence. My ce is a far cry from that,” Ning Ran


    could sense Tang Jing’s thoughts.


    “I knew it! So, is it just a temporary arrangement that you are staying here?”


    “You can say so. Actually, the Nan family and I... “


    Ning Ran had wanted to borate on it but decided it wasn’t necessary.


    “Come on in,” she weed her guest warmly.


    “Ok, thanks Ding.”


    Even though Tang Jing had not managed to visit the Nan family, which was what she had originally


    hoped for, she was still excited to be at the vi.


    The house was empty, as the kids were not back yet.


    However, it was apparent that someone had been around to tidy up the ce, as it looked very clean


    and neat.


    “Make yourself at home. I’ll pour you a ss of water.”


    Tang Jing looked around and said, “This house is so beautifully decorated. Are you staying here


    alone?”


    “Nope, I’m staying with my kids, and... my manager.”


    Ning Ran had almost told the woman Nan Chen was also staying here. But since he was only staying


    for a few days to spend time with the kids, she did not feel the need to say that.


    Tang Jing was clearly disappointed with the woman’s reply. It meant that she wouldn’t be able to meet


    anyone from the Nan family here.


    That would defeat the purpose of her visit.
