Chapter 63: Losing One's Good Reputation in Twilight Years!
Xu Xu did not press Huo Hanshen on how he planned to help her resolve the matter, as everyone was entitled to their secrets.
Moreover, Huo Hanshen was not the type of person who liked to make empty boasts; since he said he could handle it, he certainly could.
"If anything like this ever happens again, you must call me immediately. I am your husband, and it is my duty to share your burdens..."
Huo Hanshen’s gaze was as gentle as water, leaving a staff member who had just entered the office to report on work utterly dumbfounded.
This man... actually had such a gentle side?
Huo Hanshen naturally noticed the incoming staff member and was thus forced to end the call with Xu Xu.
"Okay, okay. Go ahead and work, don't worry about me, I'm fine," Xu Xu said before hanging up the phone.
The lingering anxiety in her heart had miraculously calmed down because of this single call.
Standing nearby, Huo Yunzhe watched Xu Xu speak to her cheap husband in such a tender tone, and jealousy completely consumed him.
Damn it...
That kind of gentleness was supposed to belong to him!
"Hmph, men are experts at making empty promises. Xu Xu, you surely don't believe your ordinary civil servant husband has the capability to help you, do you?"
Seeing that Xu Xu had ended the call, Huo Yunzhe could not help but make a sour, sarcastic remark.
"He probably doesn't even understand what's going on right now."
Help, indeed... Hah, it would be a miracle if he didn't make things worse!
"Yes, my husband is indeed just an ordinary civil servant, not like you..." Xu Xu looked Huo Yunzhe up and down. "A bankrupt CEO."
If it was about being sarcastic, who couldn't do it?
Especially since she deliberately emphasized the word "bankrupt."
And so, Huo Yunzhe instantly lost his composure.
"Fine! Since you are so unappreciative, don't blame me!"
With a sinister expression, he turned around to face the media directly.
"My fellow media friends, I am her ex-boyfriend, and I can tell you all that she indeed does not have a medical license!"
These words were like a drop of water hitting a pan of hot oil, instantly throwing the crowd into an uproar!
"Does that mean the post online is all true?"
"Oh my god, how could anyone do something so devoid of conscience?"
"The hospital must give us an explanation today!"
Whether it was the reporters or the onlookers in the hallway, everyone was shouting and blocking Xu Xu and the hospital director. Filled with intense rage, they looked as if they wanted to tear them apart alive!
Having dropped the bombshell, Huo Yunzhe turned his head back to look at Xu Xu with a triumphant smile.
He even silently mouthed the words: "You deserve it."
Xu Xu was so furious she felt an urge to smash her fist right into Huo Yunzhe's petty face!
"W-Wait! Hold on! Look at the internet! It's been cleared up! This matter has been clarified!"
Just as Xu Xu, the director, and the others were feeling completely helpless, a nurse who had been closely monitoring the online situation suddenly shouted at the top of her lungs.
Fearing the chaos at the scene, she even grabbed a chair, stood on top of it, and yelled.
Thanks to her desperate cries, the crowd finally paused their verbal assault on Xu Xu and doubtfully pulled out their mobile phones.
As soon as they unlocked their phones, they saw a post that completely contradicted the one by Doctor Wang—
#A Stunning Reversal! What is the True Story Behind the Heartless Doctor?#
Tapping into the post, the very first thing that appeared was the footage from earlier at the hospital room doorway, showing Doctor Wang ordering the security guards to throw Su's father out.
Immediately following that was the scene of Xu Xu stepping forward to stand up for Su's mother, and finally, the footage of Xu Xu walking out of the operating room, declaring the surgery a success, and embracing Su's mother.
There was even an extra clip: Su's father, who had undergone a successful surgery, lying in a hospital room with an electrocardiogram showing completely normal readings.
Everyone at the scene was dumbfounded.
This...
This clarification video was certainly fresh.
And the slap in the face was thorough and decisive.
Within mere seconds, the post went viral.
The hallway fell into an instantaneous dead silence. The fiercer their previous shouting had been, the more awkward they felt now.
Seeing the clarification video as well, the director burst into tears of relief. Sob, sob... his innocence had finally been restored.
At his advanced age, he had almost lost his reputation at the very end!
