Gorgeous Female Tenants

Chapter 63: Tongren Medical Clinic

"Passed out already? How boring, I wasn’t done playing yet."

Xu Xiangbei stood up, lazily yawned, turned to look at the two young men groaning softly nearby, and raised an eyebrow: "Hey, if you don’t scram immediately, do you want me to give your bones a little loosening?"

Hearing this, the two Motorcycle Gang members wearing leather jackets staggered up from the ground, quickly helping Ah Jun away, afraid that if they delayed, Xu Xiangbei would treat them like he did Ah Jun.

Xu Xiangbei stretched, smoked a cigarette, and walked into the room to wash up as if nothing happened, then checked out, found his Ferrari parked downstairs, got in, and headed towards Spring Villa.

Halfway there, Xu Xiangbei’s phone rang. He picked it up to see Ding Keke calling.

"Haha, this little girl says she hates me, but she’s still thinking about me. No contact for a few days, and she’s already calling me."

Xu Xiangbei parked by the roadside and answered the phone.

"Xu Xiangbei, I quit!"

Ding Keke’s crisp voice reached his ears, sounding somewhat angry.

"Quit?"

Xu Xiangbei was slightly stunned, then frowned: "Keke, why would you want to quit? I’ve already got you under my care, you can’t back out."

"Pff, who did you take under your care?"

Ding Keke retorted angrily: "I can give back the necklace, I’m determined to quit."

With that, she abruptly hung up the phone.

Xu Xiangbei was taken aback, what was this sudden fit about?

Helplessly, Xu Xiangbei had to turn around and head straight for the courtyard on Anhe Road.

Half an hour later, Xu Xiangbei parked his Ferrari in front of the courtyard gate.

Knock knock knock.

Xu Xiangbei knocked on the red-painted door.

No response.

Knock knock, knock knock knock.

Xu Xiangbei knocked harder.

Finally, after a moment, footsteps approached, and soon the gate opened. Ding Keke stood there in a light blue floral long dress, looking as pure as morning dewdrop.

However, her watery big eyes seemed to have just cried, slightly puffy.

"Keke, what happened?"

Xu Xiangbei smiled slightly, jokingly said: "Feeling lonely being all alone? Hey, I’m here to keep you company."

"Xu Xiangbei, speak with respect!"

Furious, Ding Keke bit her teeth, handed him the gift box with the necklace, saying decisively: "I’ve thought it through these days. I’m a nurse, my job is to save lives, not to be someone’s kept woman! If you don’t let me return to the First People’s Hospital, I’d rather quit! And then find another hospital to work at!"

"Wow, the courtyard’s already renovated, tsk tsk, efficient work! Yo, did you choose these flowers? They’re beautiful! Your taste is great, I made the right call."

It seemed Xu Xiangbei hadn’t heard Ding Keke, wandering around the courtyard, admiring the rockeries, swaying bamboos, and colorful flowers, he couldn’t help but praise: "I’ll reward you later, give you a raise!"

"Hmph, of course the flowers I chose are beautiful."

Hearing Xu Xiangbei praise her taste, Ding Keke felt sweet inside and willingly continued the conversation: "I self-studied flower arranging in university, my taste is much better than you guys."

Xu Xiangbei chuckled, giving her a thumbs up: "Imaginative, impressive!"

"Xu Xiangbei, are you listening to me? I’m quitting!"

Seeing his frivolous demeanor, Ding Keke pouted angrily, reiterating her intent to quit.

"Keke, who bullied you? Tell me, and I’ll stand up for you."

Xu Xiangbei still smiled nonchalantly, seemingly certain she was just acting out and not genuinely intending to quit.

"Why ... why should I tell you?"

Ding Keke pouted angrily.

"If you don’t tell me, I won’t let you quit." Xu Xiangbei put his hands on his hips, speaking in an uncompromising tone: "You know my ties with Dean Zhang. If I say the word, even if you wish to quit, you won’t get a job in any hospital in Jiangcheng."

His words carried a clear threat—if Ding Keke didn’t give him a satisfactory answer, Xu Xiangbei could, with just a word, have her blacklisted from Jiangcheng’s medical system, leaving this freshly graduated nurse without any prospects at reputable hospitals.

"You..."

Ding Keke’s eyes widened, tears welling up: "You big bully, how could you do this to me!"

With that, she squatted down, crying like a weeping willow.

"Keke, don’t cry! I’m afraid of nothing but girls’ tears. If you keep crying, I’ll have to atone with my own life."

Xu Xiangbei wiped away her tears clumsily, abandoning his grin.

"It’s all your fault! If not for you, I wouldn’t be ridiculed by my classmates, calling me someone’s kept woman, a gold-digging skank! I just want to be a life-saving nurse, why do you push me? We have no grievances... Please, let me go back to the hospital to be a nurse!"

With her lips pouting, Ding Keke rattled off her grievances like a machine gun.

"Oh?"

Xu Xiangbei was stunned and asked: "Who dared to mock you? Tell me, I’ll help you clear your name."

Imagining her roommate, Xu Xiangbei paused, then asked: "Is it your roommate?"

"No."

Ding Keke wiped her tears, slightly shaking her head: "It’s a university classmate of mine, named Zhang Xiaoli. Her grades were always worse than mine, and her social skills weren’t as good as mine either. After graduation, I smoothly got into the First People’s Hospital for an internship, while she struggled and could only find a job at a private clinic as an assistant, just one street away at the Tongren Clinic. Today I had my period and went to buy medicine at the Tongren Clinic, happened to run into her. When she found out about my situation, she insulted me as someone’s kept woman."

Xu Xiangbei understood.

It turned out the classmate was speaking out of jealousy, accusing Ding Keke of being a kept woman.

Smiling crookedly, Xu Xiangbei, without a second thought, took her hand and led her outside.

"What are you doing?"

As Xu Xiangbei grabbed her hand, Ding Keke instinctively tried to pull back but couldn’t, her face flushed with anxiety.

"I’m going to clear your name."

Xu Xiangbei opened the car door, placed Ding Keke inside, got in himself, and with a press of the gas pedal, they headed straight for the Tongren Clinic on the next street.

"You... don’t be rash! Zhang Xiaoli is narrow-minded. If you provoke her, she might smear my name in front of our other classmates!"

Worried, Ding Keke seemed very apprehensive about Zhang Xiaoli.

"Don’t worry, she’s a jerk and I’m a rogue, who’s afraid of whom?"

Xu Xiangbei shook his head with a laugh, not taking it seriously at all.
