After five years of a cold marriage, I can no longer hide the child I secretly gave birth to.

"Dai Kui, I just ran into Xu Jiaojiao at the company. She said that your hospital is going to replace a large number of plants. Did you know about this?"

Fang Qing said as he ate.

Logically speaking, Xu Jiaojiao works at the People's Hospital, so she shouldn't be interfering in the pet hospital's affairs.

Her current grand gesture of replacing all the greenery is probably not a good omen.

Xu Daikui had not heard of this matter.

She guessed, "She probably meant the newly built plot of land in the backyard."

That piece of land was a result of Zhou Yanci's generosity in order to satisfy her vanity.

It was a gift he lavishly gave her, costing a fortune.

It is a testament to their friendship.

Of course, she would try all sorts of tricks on her.

"Really? Then I must have misheard."

He heard Xu Jiaojiao say that everything should be replaced, and she even asked him whether ginkgo or cedar was better.

He also noticed that among the stack of drawings she was carrying was a picture of roses.

Anyone with common sense knows that hospitals are not suitable for growing roses.

But she was preparing for something, who knows what kind of trouble she was planning to cause this time.

Xu Daikui wasn't interested in her meddling with that piece of land. As long as she didn't deliberately harm her interests or touch her territory, she would try to turn a blind eye to her actions.

"That woman is always causing trouble. She must be jealous because Dai Dai is doing well at the pet hospital. She just can't stand you being better off than her."

"If you ask me..."

Before Xie Jia could finish speaking, Xu Daikui subtly nudged her arm.

She rarely mentioned Xu Jiaojiao's family in front of Xu Meng.

A four-year-old child is as pure as a blank sheet of paper; there's no need to expose her to the dark side of intrigue and backstabbing so early.

Xie Jia immediately understood and stopped talking.

...

Three days later, the redness and swelling on Xu Daikui's forehead had almost subsided, and there was no trace of it even without a band-aid.

With Chinese New Year just over a month away, many families are bringing their pets to the hospital for checkups before the holiday.

Although they were all routine checkups, the hospital was extremely busy due to the large number of animals.

Xu Daikui happened to be free, so she went to the outpatient department to help look at the medical examination reports.

"for you."

Wang Guang also came to help. The two of them greeted the family members for a while, and he handed her a bottle of water.

"Thank you, Director."

Xu Daikui smiled and took the bottle. Just as she was about to twist off the cap, Wang Guang looked at her fair and beautiful face and suddenly said, "Let me do it. Your hands are more suited for surgery. Don't do this kind of rough work."

Looking at her reminded him of his deceased wife, and he couldn't help but want to treat her well.

"No need, I can manage myself..."

Before Xu Daikui could finish speaking, a pretty voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Sister-in-law, it's been so long! Ni Bao and I have missed you terribly!"

As Zhou Yingying spoke, she hugged her dog, effectively separating herself from Wang Guang, and looked at her with an affectionate smile.

Once Wang Guang realized they knew each other, he turned away to attend to his work.

Zhou Yingying secretly turned around and glared at him.

To be honest, she didn't like the way the male doctor looked at her sister-in-law; she felt it was extremely aggressive.

She thought her second brother would dislike it even more.

"Why are you here?"

Xu Daikui was surprised.

She usually has her dogs treated by a private veterinarian at the estate, and rarely brings them to the vet.

Zhou Yingying chuckled, "I came to get my dog ​​checked out, and also to see you. My second brother brought me here, and look, he's here too."

"Your second brother?"

Xu Daikui looked in the direction she was pointing in surprise, and saw a tall, slender black figure standing by the window of the corridor not far away.

Zhou Yanci leaned against the window with a detached expression, looking down at his phone. When he noticed a gaze coming his way, he looked up.

Their eyes met, and Xu Daikui immediately looked away, her hands instinctively clenching as she looked at Zhou Yingying.

"Oh, then you go and join the queue."

Zhou Yingying realized something was wrong.

Xu Daikui's expression was far too calm when she saw her second brother.

In the past, she would cheer and show a shy, girlish expression whenever she heard his name.

But now she's acting more and more strangely.

Does she really not like it?

Do you still want a divorce?

However, she then turned to look at her second brother.

He's quite strange too.

He usually reacts with utter disgust when he sees her holding a dog and calling it "baby," but today, when she said she was going to take Ni Bao for a check-up at the pet care center, he offered to give her a ride.

It's clear that his group doesn't follow this path.

I really don't understand.

She reluctantly looked away and turned to Xu Daikui, "I'm a customer of yours, we're family, why do I need to wait in line? Can you give me a heads-up and let my Nibao go first?"

Xu Daikui's expression was indifferent. "I'm sorry, we are a regular hospital, we can't get in through back channels."

With that, she turned to leave.

Zhou Yingying frowned instantly in anger, grabbing her arm. "Sister-in-law, what do you mean? What did I do to offend you? I paid you for treating Ni Bao before, didn't I?"

"You know my daughter is delicate. She hasn't had lunch yet, so she can't stand in line for that long."

Seeing that Xu Daikui remained unmoved despite her words, she pouted and said, "You're deliberately making things difficult for me, then I'll have my second brother come and talk to you."

She knew the woman was angry, which was why she didn't want her to cut in line.

In the past, she would have personally and diligently conducted a physical examination for her daughter, Ni Bao.

Don't tell me it's just about queuing.

"Oh, no..."

Xu Daikui tried to call out to her, but Zhou Yingying had already stormed off towards Zhou Yanci.

Xu Daikui frowned deeply as she looked at him.

...

Xu Daikui really showed her no respect. She was still her sister-in-law, yet she turned on her so ruthlessly.

"What's wrong?"

When Zhou Yanci saw her return carrying Ni Bao, her mouth was pouting and her eyes were glistening with tears.

Although he felt that she was always wasting her time, she was his only sister, so he naturally cared about her.

Zhou Yingying pouted, trying to hold back, but couldn't, and said angrily, "It's all your fault! My sister-in-law has a fever and you don't care, you don't care about her at all. You made her angry, you ignored her, so she doesn't care about my baby anymore, she won't take my baby to the doctor..."

"Did she say that?"

Zhou Yanci glanced at the woman in the white coat in the distance.

She sat on the consultation table, her hair tied back with a pink hair tie, her profile serene and beautiful, lightly made up, and was talking to a family member.

"Anyway, now that you're with Sister Jiaojiao, your sister-in-law is definitely unhappy. You're not divorced yet, so it's understandable that she's angry now."

"You've all dragged me down with you..."

She sobbed, bowing her head to wipe her tears.

"Okay, go sit there and wait."

As Zhou Yanci spoke, he strode toward Xu Daikui.
