Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 742

Chapter 742: Learning From the Best
Song Yan and Li Shu ate in a quiet and comfortable atmosphere. Twenty minutes later, they had returned to the ward and he had already helped her lie back on the bed.

“Xiao Shu, I need to go now. The surgery may take a few hours. I will come back to see you when I’m done. If you need anything, just call the nurse,” Song Yan reminded her.

“I know. Brother Yan, don’t worry about me,” Li Shu nodded obediently.

Song Yan glanced at her one more time before he finally left the ward in hurried steps.

After he left, a middle-aged woman who sat across from her bed looked at her and said, “Little girl, you have a good relationship with Doctor Song. Are you his relative?”

Li Shu looked at her and the young woman sitting next to her with a knowing look. Both of them came to take care of the middle-aged man who fell down to the pit.

Every time Song Yan came to visit her, the young woman would shyly peek at him and try to talk to him. But since he was only staying for a short time, she didn’t get a chance to talk to him. Therefore, she might try to get close to Song Yan through her.

Although she knew their intentions, Li Shu pretended to be stupid and said, “We are not relatives. Brother Yan is good to me because of my grandfather.”

Hearing her calling Song Yan so casually, the young woman twisted her clothes and said sourly, “You shouldn’t call Doctor Song so intimately. This will cause misunderstanding and may damage his reputation.”

Li Shu looked at her with confusion and asked, “Auntie, Brother Yan asked me to call him that. So, why can’t I call him Brother Yan?”

When the young woman heard her calling her aunt, her face turned pale, red, then green. She looked at her mother aggrievedly, pulled at her mother’s sleeve, and said coquettishly, “Mother, look at her.”

The middle-aged woman patted her hand gently and said, “Why are you quarreling with the child? Since Doctor Song is good to her, you should also be good to her. After all, you will be a family in the future. Don’t let a stranger ruin the relationship between you and Doctor Song.”

Looking at the young woman’s blushing and listening to their shameless words, Li Shu felt that this matter was so ridiculous that she was speechless.

The middle-aged woman only said a few words to Song Yan, while the young woman didn’t even say a word to him. She didn’t know where they got the confidence that they would become his family in the future.

What’s even more ridiculous is that they dared to call her a stranger and made it sound like this young woman had a close relationship with Song Yan.

If someone who knew nothing about them heard this, they would probably think that this young woman was his fiancée and she didn’t argue with her to give Song Yan’s face.

When this idea appeared in Li Shu’s mind, she thought, ‘Brother Yan is my grandfather’s favorite disciple, and he is so kind to me. I can’t let these women ruin his reputation and his chance of marrying a good wife.’

After making up her mind, Li Shu’s eyes flashed for a moment before it returned to normal and she said in surprise, “Auntie, Granny, why are you two keep talking nonsense? Brother Yan doesn’t even know your name, let alone having anything to do with you. Please don’t spread rumors and ruin his reputation.”

“Even if you are shamelessly delusional, you shouldn’t hurt good people ah!” she added, with obvious worries for the disabled in her eyes when she looked at them.

Normally, she is not someone who likes to cause trouble and is a taciturn person. But when she was beaten by her mother and went to another Li Shu’s world, she realized that being gentle and understanding would not help her at all. In the end, the only person who can protect her is herself.

She should learn from Wang Muxiao and Liu Hua. In their village, despite their bad reputation, no one dares to go against them. For Li Shu, she would rather have a bad reputation than be beaten and treated unfairly like before.

Therefore, she thought of Wang Muxiao and Liu Hua’s previous behaviors and learned from them. Now was the perfect time to implement what she had learned.

After hearing her words, the young woman’s face turned red with shame and anger. The middle-aged woman was stunned by her sharp words. She didn’t expect a little girl to have such a sharp tongue and witty mind.

It took her a while to come to her senses. The middle-aged woman glared at Li Shu and said, “Little girl, you are still young and don’t understand anything. Don’t talk nonsense. Who said Doctor Song doesn’t know our names?”

“My daughter has talked to Doctor Song several times and they are close. He is very good to her,” she added.

After saying that, Li Shu looked at her and said with doubt, “Granny, are you sure you’re not hallucinating? We have been in the same ward for so long, and I have never seen Brother Yan talk to you or your daughter at all.”

After hesitating for a moment, she added, “The conversation you mentioned, could it be that it was that time when you asked what Brother Yan brought me and he replied to you? If this is the case, then this is too far-fetched, don’t you think?”

As soon as she finished speaking, other patients and their family members looked at the middle-aged woman and her daughter with meaningful eyes.

Before the middle-aged woman and her daughter could come up with a rebuttal, Li Shu clapped her hands and said with understanding, “Anyway, I can ask Brother Yan about this matter. If you really have a relationship with him, I won’t call him Brother Yan anymore, and I will keep my distance from him.”

After saying that, she closed her eyes and went to sleep, completely ignoring them.
