Chapter 154: Chapter 147: Divorce Day
“`
Qiao Licheng called out to Qiao Jing’s retreating figure.
Qiao Jing turned around to look at Qiao Licheng and spoke with a tone filled with righteousness, “I am a doctor.”
Five words, resounding firmly, without the slightest ripple of emotion.
Yet, they set off a storm in Qiao Licheng’s heart.
Qiao Licheng watched Qiao Jing’s silhouette enter the emergency room, his eyebrows deeply furrowed.
“How did Qiao Jing become a doctor?”
Hearing Qiao Licheng’s mutter to himself, Zheng Haijuan and Qiao Mengtong both turned their gazes toward him.
Indeed! How did Qiao Jing become a doctor? And just now, those experts and professors seemed to look to Qiao Jing for leadership.
What exactly is going on here?
Even if Qiao Jing is a doctor, she’s so young, her medical skills couldn’t possibly be that advanced, right?
The surgery took a total of one hour and thirty-two minutes.
The operation was very successful.
Doctor Zhao, with a stern face, told Qiao Licheng’s family, “The patient has passed the critical period, and not only that, thanks to Doctor Qiao’s surgery, the likelihood of recurrence will be greatly reduced.”
Hearing this, Qiao Licheng and the others all let out a sigh of relief.
“Um, Doctor Zhao,” Qiao Mengtong stopped the about-to-leave Doctor Zhao. “Was the surgery really performed by Qiao Jing?”
Doctor Zhao’s anger erupted in an instant.
“If it wasn’t her, would it have been you?”
Doctor Zhao had indeed reached his limit; in his lifetime, he most admired Divine Doctor Jing. Back then, Divine Doctor Jing had even given him advice. It was precisely because of Divine Doctor Jing’s guidance that he had today’s achievements.
In his eyes, Divine Doctor Jing was his teacher.
Now someone was insulting his teacher, not just once, but repeatedly. That he had endured until now was truly due to his exceptional professional demeanor.
If this had been ten or more years ago, in his younger days, his fiery temper would have flared up long ago.
Doctor Zhao glanced at Qiao Licheng’s family with displeasure and left the ward huffily.
Qiao Licheng and the others exchanged glances, speechless for a long time.
After a while, Qiao Mengtong ventured a guess.
“Could it be that Qiao Jing bribed these doctors to deliberately stage this whole act?”
This suspicion had actually crossed the minds of Qiao Licheng and his wife as well.
But upon careful consideration, including Doctor Zhao, all were renowned professors and directors; they probably wouldn’t joke about their own reputations, right?
Especially Doctor Zhao; his indignant demeanor from earlier seemed very authentic and natural, without a trace of acting.
If it was indeed an act, then one could only say that Doctor Zhao was an Oscar-worthy actor who had missed his calling in acting.
It was incomprehensible, unbelievable…
The last day arrived.
Qiao Jing prepared her marriage certificate, identity card, and other documents in her bag, then placed the divorce agreement she had previously prepared in front of Zhan Qipei.
“Mr. Zhan, please sign this.”
Zhan Qipei’s face was etched with gloom, wishing he could burn a hole through the divorce agreement with his glare.
“I don’t want a divorce.”
“Are you going to be unreasonable?” Qiao Jing frowned.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
“Call it what you will, I won’t sign it.” Zhan Qipei said, and then he proceeded to tear up the divorce agreement.
Qiao Jing turned and went back to her room, then came out with a stack of divorce agreements and placed them in front of Zhan Qipei.
“Take your time tearing them.”
Zhan Qipei “…”
Looking at the stack of divorce agreements, Zhan Qipei’s already sullen face darkened several degrees more, gloomy as if it could drip water at any moment.
He had tried every possible way to be nice to the girl over the past few days, hoping she would be moved, but she showed no such interest in him.
Never in his life had he felt such defeat.
“What exactly will it take for you not to divorce me?” Zhan Qipei was completely at a loss with this young woman before him.
To be fierce, he could not bear it.
“`
It hurts, but she wouldn’t let him suffer.
“This is what I should be asking you, what will it take for you to agree to a divorce with me?” Qiao Jing was also unbearably frustrated.
Although she could have used other means to forcibly divorce Zhan Qipei, according to the law, they had to be separated for at least a year before she could go to the civil affairs office to get a divorce.
So, it would be best if Zhan Qipei could come around and go to the civil affairs office with her right now to get it done.
Zhan Qipei’s thin lips were tightly pursed, his face as cold as a frigid wind, and after a moment of silence, he spoke, “Only if I die.”
“You—” Qiao Jing was genuinely infuriated by Zhan Qipei’s words.
“You’re really shameless!”
“Ding dong—” The sound of the doorbell rang.
Zhan Qipei shifted his gaze from Qiao Jing and went to open the door.
The visitor was none other than Zhan Ruiting.
“Cousin, I came today to remind you that it’s time for you to get a divorce.”
Zhan Qipei took a deep breath.
“Get lost.”
With a “bang,” Zhan Qipei forcefully closed the door.
“Buzz, buzz, buzz—” The sound of a vibrating cell phone arose.
Qiao Jing looked at her own phone; the call was from Xu Moqian.
She touched the screen to answer.
“Sister Jing, congratulations! You finally got a divorce today!”
Hearing this, Qiao Jing lifted her eyes towards Zhan Qipei.
Headache.
How could she knock him out and carry him to the civil affairs office if he wouldn’t go with her?
Even if she really did carry him there, it wouldn’t work…
“Buzz, buzz, buzz—” The sound of a vibrating cell phone came again.
This time it was Zhan Qipei’s phone, and the call was from Lu Zijiao.
“Young Master Zhan, have you and Qiao Jing gone to the civil affairs office yet?”
Upon hearing this, Zhan Qipei knew that Lu Zijiao was probing on behalf of his brother.
“Not divorcing! I will never get a divorce in this lifetime.” After saying this, Zhan Qipei clenched his teeth and hung up the phone.
“Ding dong—ding dong—” The doorbell rang again.
Who else was here to prompt him to get a divorce?
Zhan Qipei, with a murderous expression, once again pulled open the door.
“Not getting a divorce, not divorcing! Get lost!”
“Bang—” The door closed again.
Lan Yinyin’s nose was nearly flattened.
She knew today was the day Zhan Qipei and Qiao Jing were supposed to divorce, so she made a special trip over, but before she could even speak, she was fiercely yelled at by Zhan Qipei.
“Not divorcing…” Lan Yinyin murmured, it seemed Zhan Qipei had truly fallen for Qiao Jing.
It must be because a few days ago, Qiao Jing saved Zhan Qipei in the countryside, so he fell in love with her.
“Damn Qiao Jing! All of this was supposed to be mine!”
Lan Yinyin was seething with hatred! It appeared she would have to find a suitable opportunity to carry out her revenge plan sooner rather than later.
After hanging up the phone with Li Qianran, Qiao Jing suddenly received a call from above.
There was an earthquake in Lichuan County, with over a hundred casualties, and the authorities hoped Qiao Jing could go there for the rescue effort.
“Okay, I’m on my way now.”
“Where are you going?” Zhan Qipei saw the serious look on Qiao Jing’s face and guessed that something significant had happened.
“There’s been an earthquake in Lichuan County, many people are victims, I need to hurry over for the rescue,” Qiao Jing said, rapidly gathering her things.
“I’m coming with you,” Zhan Qipei said, not caring whether Qiao Jing agreed or not, he picked up the car keys, waiting for her.
Qiao Jing frowned, her words of refusal yet to leave her mouth when she heard Zhan Qipei’s voice interject.
