Chapter 169: My Things
While speaking, Lan Ying looked directly at Li Meifen in front of her, but she also secretly noticed Su Wanwan and Xu Yan standing on the side.
“Try to avoid touching things you shouldn’t, especially other people’s personal belongings and personal items.” She moved her eyes to the medical supplies on the shelf and pointed to some ampoules. “If you accidentally break anything, you simply can’t afford all the damages.”
Although she didn't know much about these bottles and jars and didn't know their exact value, Li Meifen obviously couldn't tolerate Lan Ying's attitude. Sitting on a chair with one foot raised, she said disdainfully: "There is no doctor here, and these lackeys can act as masters."
Li Meifen's sarcastic voice immediately touched Lan Ying's heartstrings, as if she was back to the scene in the clinic three days ago. Lan Ying walked quickly and came to Li Meifen who was sitting in the lazy chair in an instant. Her eyes were wide open and she was indignant: "I have heard that some educated youth who went to the countryside have little education and can't even read elementary school. It seems that the rumors are true!"
Su Wanwan stood quietly beside the bed, silently picking up the broom in the corner and cleaning the dust on the floor. This scene was exactly what she expected.
Facing Li Meifen, the two of them monitoring Lan Ying's work alone might be easily exposed, because Li Meifen's eyes were like bright searchlights, always able to capture their every move. As long as they made the slightest move, Li Meifen would definitely be able to follow.
Moreover, given the deepening entanglement between her and Lan Ying, it is no longer possible to secretly investigate the other party's business secrets. She needs to escalate their confrontation to an irreconcilable point so that she has the opportunity to reveal Lan Ying's secrets through Li Meifen.
Li Meifen responded calmly: "If you are referring to yourself, then I have no objection."
Compared with the emotional blue, Li Meifen looked calm. Although her cheeks were still pale from fatigue and lack of sleep, she even adjusted her sitting posture in the chair comfortably, showing a sense of dominance.
Lan Ying did not show any weakness and continued to speak to the crowd: "From my perspective, aren't there things belonging to me placed around?"
In such a public occasion, she naturally could not lose her momentum. Although she knew that she could not beat Li Meifen physically, she believed that Li Meifen would not hurt anyone in a public place like a clinic.
Li Meifen knew that she could not afford the consequences of using violence, so she picked up the book on the table and looked through it calmly. Suddenly she thought of the unfinished inspection report, so she picked up the pen beside her and started thinking.
Then she said to Lan Ying without any gratitude: "You just don't know what's good for you. You were temporarily sent here by the village to help. What right do you have to sit in my seat? The two of them would never be as reckless as you." After that, she pointed her finger at Su Wanwan and the other person next to her.
Xu Yan sat motionless on the stool, as if he didn't hear these words, but his eyes often glanced at Su Wanwan who was sweeping the floor. Li Meifen deliberately ignored her and secretly glanced at Xu Yan. Seeing that he didn't look at her but looked at Su Wanwan frequently, she decided to retract her gaze and stared at Lan Ying: "I am different."
"I just enjoy the feeling of challenging myself. If you feel you are qualified to stay here, I can even beat you up again. The stool is yours."
Recalling the previous lesson, Lan Ying couldn't help but feel a little scared. Her limited understanding of Li Meifen showed that if she completely lost control, she might really threaten. She didn't want to suffer a concussion or other injuries.
The infirmary fell into a brief silence. The two injured patients lying on their beds secretly glanced at the two people arguing, as if they were attracted to them.
In the end, Lan Ying was defeated. Her cheeks were tense as if she wanted to refute, but in the end, she was speechless. In a rage, she turned around and pulled away the empty chair next to her, sitting opposite Li Meifen, symbolically admitting defeat.
This move indicated that Lan Ying had been defeated in today's battle with Li Meifen in the medical school.
Thinking that Su Wanwan and several other companions might have seen this scene, Lan Ying could hardly control her anger.
She would never allow such grievance to be endured like this!
"Hey, why do you look so dull today? Last time I saw you, your face was as rosy as if you had just applied oil."
Li Meifen noticed Lan Ying's initiative to compromise and sit down. She smiled indifferently and stared at the other's face, as if she had noticed something.
Su Wanwan, who was standing by, put down the cleaning tools and was secretly delighted. She understood the reason: because of Li Meifen, Lan Ying probably didn't have time to put on makeup when she went out this morning, so naturally her complexion looked worse.
"Are you done yet? If there's no room for you here, please leave." Lan Ying angrily slammed the tables and chairs to express her dissatisfaction.
"I'm just concerned about you, why are you so excited? I remember your desk was full of bottles and jars last time. You should use them to dress yourself up, right?" Li Meifen gently touched her hair on her forehead, with a hint of joking in her words.
Faced with such a sharp question, Lan Ying, who was sitting opposite Li Meifen, tried hard to suppress her disordered breath but did not give a response.
"How much does it cost to have so many cosmetics? How did you come up with the money?" Su Wanwan was delighted to hear Li Meifen ask the question. Obviously, Li Meifen was much smarter than she expected.
Lan Ying said in a deep voice: "That is my own private matter and has nothing to do with you. It's something that shouldn't be asked about. I hope you can be more restrained and say less." She finally steadied her breathing.
"Don't forget, our jobs here pay us very little, and it's hard for everyone to fill their stomachs in this year. Look, you don't have to work hard to have spare money to buy cosmetics. If your story gets to the village party secretary or the village head...what do you think they will think?"
Li Meifen looked at Lan Ying, whose expression was gradually losing control, with a calm demeanor and a joking tone in her words.
"The facts are not what you think!" As soon as Li Meifen finished speaking, Lan Ying hurriedly denied it, trying to save the situation.
"Then can you tell us what exactly happened? What's wrong with living in the same dormitory and getting to know each other better?" Although Su Wanwan put down the broom and was still eager to hear the follow-up of the fight, she understood that there were limited chairs and the space was small, so it was inconvenient for her to stay for long.
It would have been somewhat inappropriate for her to sit there and not intervene in the argument between the two of them.
Once she intervenes, no matter which side she supports, it will be of no benefit to her. It would be better for her to go out and find a quiet place to stay.
Qian Yan, who was standing next to her, saw what Su Wanwan was thinking and immediately stood up from the stool, opened the door and left the clinic. After a moment, Su Wanwan slowly opened the door and walked out.
"Okay, now that they are all out, you can tell me now, right?" Li Meifen was too lazy to respond to Su Wanwan's choice to remain neutral and go out in silence.
She felt a little disappointed because not only was Su Wanwan out, but Qian Yan was no longer in the room, which meant that he would miss the exciting part that might happen next.
