Idiot

Pan Qi slapped Pan Yueyue angrily.

Pan Yueyue’s face had a palm print as she cried in grievance.

“What face do I have left?” Pan Qi said angrily. “You idiot, you ruined the glory and wealth that I had worked so hard to get so quickly. Why are you crying? Where did you get the nerves to cry? Hold it back.”

“Don’t be angry, Hubby,” Mrs. Pan said softly. “You’ve had more experience than anyone else for so many years. Even without the Li family, I think you’ll still be doing well in the medical field.”

However, Pan Qi, who was used to taking shortcuts, wouldn’t listen to his wife. “What else do you know besides spending money?” he said angrily. “What was the use of me being careful all these years? It’s because I can’t lose the Li family’s support. Now, it’s all ruined by this idiot!”

Mrs. Pan sighed. “Things have already come to this; there’s no point in you dealing with her. We’ll just have to be more careful in the future. Wouldn’t that be better?”

Pan Qi looked at Pan Yueyue with hatred in his eyes.

“There are all kinds of people in the entertainment industry,” he said. “In the future, you better have some brains. Don’t provoke those people you shouldn’t. If you do that again, I’ll beat you to death.”

Pan Yueyue immediately nodded, but she was also very flustered.

In the beginning, she had tricked Old Madam Li into coming back because she wanted her to support her and educate Jiang Ling’er.

However, Jiang Ling’er ended up fine, but the Pans were abandoned.

If his father knew the truth, he would definitely break her legs.

After thinking for a moment, she said pitifully,”Dad, don’t be angry, okay? I simply thought that since you saved Old Madam Li’s life, the Lis would at least give you some face. I didn’t expect them to be so cold-blooded.”

Pan Qi had the urge to beat her to death.

He replied, “Idiot, I’ve said it many times; I’m a doctor, and I was on duty that day. That was my job, and that was what I should do! Do you understand? If other doctors were on duty, would I still be able to rely on the Li family?”

He took a deep breath and continued, “I saved Old Madam Li, and the Li family repaid me. People call them grateful for that. But if I use the matter of saving people to ask the Lis for help, others will say that I’m a scum in the medical field!”

Pan Yueyue nodded. “I understand, Dad. I’m sorry. I was wrong.”

He waved his hand impatiently. “Alright, get lost. I don’t want to see you now.”

She immediately ran back to the bedroom.

“Hubby, let me give you a massage,” said Mrs. Pan.

Pan Qi sighed and walked to the chaise longue to lie down.

“Give me a massage,” he said.

Mrs. Pan stepped forward and started massaging him.

He was about to fall asleep when his phone suddenly rang.

“Check who’s calling,” Pan Qi said with his eyes closed.

She picked up the phone and glanced at it.

“Put it on speaker,” he continued.

Mrs. Pan did as she was told.

After the call connected, a female intern doctor said anxiously, “Doctor Pan, the patient you were the chief surgeon for yesterday had a problem. Now, he needs a second operation. Please come quickly.”

Pan Qi jumped up from the chaise lounge. He said, “I’ll be there right away. It’ll take at least twenty minutes.”

After saying that, he gestured for Mrs. Pan to hang up.

She hung up the phone and said worriedly, “Hubby, can’t you just get to the operating table now?”

Pan Qi said, “Director Wang is here today, so I’ll just spend twenty minutes getting there. By the time I arrive, the patient will have already entered the operating room for the second surgery.”

Hearing this, Mrs. Pan had a thought-provoking expression. Wasn’t he shirking responsibility?

“Alright,” she said. “Go ahead. Drive safely.”

Pan Qi nodded, picking up his car keys and walking out.

After Pan Qi left, Mrs. Pan took out a medical ice pack and wrapped it in a wet towel.

When she reached Pan Yueyue’s room, she asked, “Yueyue, can Mom come in?”

“Sure, Mom. Come in,” said Pan Yueyue.

Pan Yueyue was puzzled. Why wasn’t her mother accompanying her father in the living room?

Mrs. Pan entered the bedroom and saw her daughter’s swollen face. Her heart ached and she felt helpless.

She handed the ice pack to her daughter. She said, “Use this. The swelling will go down faster.”

“Thank you, Mom,” Pan Yueyue said as she held the ice pack.

Mrs. Pan felt her heart ache when she saw her daughter like this, but there was nothing she could do..
