Chapter 455: Chapter 455: I Confess!
Old Qin was furious the mont he saw the clothes—his scalp tingled with rage!
That rascal, wasn’t he wearing his suit?
This suit was the only luxury brand one Old Qin had, and he had bought it grimacing in financial pain, specifically for the occasion when he was rewarded with an allowance from the State Council!
At the ti, it truly pained Old Qin’s heart for a long while!
After coming back, he never had the heart to wear it once.
He had it neatly arranged and well-kept in the closet!
He never imagined that the suit he couldn’t bear to wear would be on that rascal, and thinking of this, Qin Xiaoyuan was too choked with anger to vent his frustration.
He was about to turn around and give Ji Ruyun a piece of his mind, to see how she had spoiled her daughter.
But as he turned his head, he suddenly noticed Ji Ruyun’s face wearing a smile full of appreciation.
Seeing Qin Xiaoyuan turn around, Ji Ruyun suddenly said with a smile, “Old Qin, look, that’s your suit!”
Qin Xiaoyuan nodded dully: “I can see that!”
Ji Ruyun chuckled and said, “Tsk tsk, it’s really true that clothes make the man. I’m used to seeing Chen Cang in casual wear, but this suit really makes him look spirited and imposing!”
“In my opinion, this suit looks much more handso on him than on you!”
As Ji Ruyun laughed and spoke, little did she know that Qin Xiaoyuan’s twelve cranial nerves were involuntarily twitching!
It was infuriating!
How intolerable!
Chen Cang, you little thief, I….
Qin Xiaoyuan was envisaging how to deal with Chen Cang when he saw Ji Ruyun suddenly turn around, her eyes smiling as she stared at Old Qin:
“What’s the matter? Are you angry?”
Qin Xiaoyuan snorted coldly, his expression speaking volus!
Ji Ruyun laughed: “Co on, it’s not like Chen Cang deliberately wore your clothes. If you want to bla soone, bla your daughter.”
As soon as he heard ‘daughter,’ Qin Xiaoyuan instantly deflated!
He argued, “How would I not know my own daughter? She must have been led astray by that boy! Yueyue is so sensible.”
Ji Ruyun was amused by Qin Xiaoyuan’s denial: “Alright, alright, can’t you be a bit more magnanimous?”
“It’s just a suit. We can go buy another one another day. Besides, Chen Cang only borrowed it to wear for a day out of ergency. Look at you being so stingy, and you’re still a dean at that.”
Qin Xiaoyuan could not help but sigh.
Ah, you can guard against anything but a thief within your own household!
Seeing his daughter on stage in a cheongsam, Qin Xiaoyuan couldn’t get angry.
He just sighed, alas… A grown daughter can’t be kept at ho, her elbows are already turned outwards.
anwhile, Chen Cang was feeling anxious on stage.
After all… only after enhancing his sight by fifty percent could he see his future father-in-law and mother-in-law from afar!
This made Chen Cang feel extrely uneasy!
He knew this suit was stealthily taken by Qin Yue for him to wear.
He hoped Dean Qin wouldn’t notice the familiar suit.
After finishing his speech, Chen Cang hurried off the stage, grabbed two bottles of water from the front, and brought them to Qin Xiaoyuan and Ji Ruyun.
Seeing Chen Cang approaching, Ji Ruyun bead like a flower. After all, the more a mother-in-law sees her son-in-law, the more she is supposed to beco fond of him.
Although Qin Xiaoyuan was unhappy at heart, just as Ji Ruyun had said, he didn’t bla Chen Cang. Instead, he forced a smile and nodded his head.
After delivering the water, Chen Cang hurriedly left, pondering to himself, “The dean must not have noticed I’m wearing his clothes!”
The morning went by quite quickly, and with its end, the annual eting was officially over.
The arrival of Qin Xiaoyuan had clearly impressed Qian Liang, Zhang Youfu, and others; their spirits lifted upon seeing him.
As the eting ca to an end, many ca over to greet and inquire after him.
Qian Liang said with a smile, “Dean Qin, I admire you more and more now. The developnt of the Second Provincial Hospital is truly booming, especially in nurturing the new generation of talent—it’s really quite impressive!”
“Just look at little Chen, what a splendid young man. Wearing formal attire suits him so well—it makes him look sharp and handso!” Qian Liang was unstinting in his praise for Chen Cang. “If only my daughter weren’t already married. Otherwise, I would definitely matchmake you two!”
Everyone laughed upon hearing this, and Liu Siqi too smiled and nodded, “Exactly, now I regret not having poached little Chen earlier. Otherwise, all these honors could have been ours at the Provincial People’s Hospital.”
“Dean Qin, this year your hospital’s research score will surely et the standard. By the end of the year, your ranking might even climb higher.”
Listening, Qin Xiaoyuan basked in delight. The praises heaped on Chen Cang brought joy to his heart. At that mont, he suddenly felt… wearing his clothes wasn’t such an issue.
He even felt prouder!
After all, he had bought those clothes!
His daughter was born to him.
His daughter had lent the clothes to Chen Cang.
It was equivalent to him buying the clothes for Chen Cang.
So this honor was his too!
Thinking this way, old Qin suddenly felt at peace. Chen Cang, wearing the outfit he had “bought,” went on stage to compete and win honors—a portion of which was Qin’s own.
Old Qin suddenly felt an added luster to his face.
He joined in, laughing and agreeing.
Zhou Hongguang looked at Chen Cang with a smile, “Little Chen, co to the 301 Hospital when you’re free for so training. Young people ought to work hard. By the way, my daughter studies law. I’ll introduce you two soday.”
Chen Cang just smiled, “Thank you, Director Zhou.”
anwhile, hearing this, Qin Xiaoyuan’s eyes narrowed in the realization!
This Zhou character has ill intentions…
No, no, need to arrange an engagent sooner rather than later.
Thinking this, Qin Xiaoyuan, as if facing a great enemy, warmly saw off Zhou Hongguang.
After everyone had left, Qin Yue changed clothes and ran over, asking with a happy face, “Dad, Mom, how did you co to be here?”
Inside, Qin Xiaoyuan thought: If I hadn’t co, how would I have known that this little “house thief” washed and handed your dad’s clothes to soone else? Are you telling that it’s from hanging out the laundry?
Glancing over, Ji Ruyun smiled and said, “We were bored at ho today, so your father and I decided to co out and see how you all were doing.”
After saying this, Ji Ruyun sized up Chen Cang, “Little Chen, you are truly amazing, exceptionally talented.”
Chen Cang, hearing this, smiled awkwardly, still planning to co clean to Dean Qin, and tell the whole truth.
“Thank you for the complint, Auntie.”
“Dean Qin, there’s sothing for which I owe you an apology.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoyuan was montarily taken aback. What else has this kid done to wrong ?
Qin Xiaoyuan looked at Chen Cang with a very kind smile, “Oh? Let’s hear it.”
Seeing that Dean Qin wasn’t angry, Chen Cang said, “I only have one suit, and it got covered in blood while I was saving a patient yesterday. I couldn’t wear it, and last night there was no ti to buy a new one, so… I borrowed and wore your clothes. Rest assured… I will take it to the dry cleaners as soon as I get back, and have it cleaned thoroughly.”
Upon hearing Chen Cang’s words, Qin Xiaoyuan couldn’t help but laugh.
