Chapter 108: Chapter 108: Thrashing the Harassing Scumbag

Han Xiaoqing smiled, her heart so full of gratitude she couldn’t put it into words. It all came down to a single sentence: "Sis, thank you for supporting me."

"You’re doing a good thing, the right thing. Why wouldn’t I support you?" Han Xiaorui said with a laugh, looking at her younger sister with a warm, fervent gaze.

She never believed that women had to depend on men. If there was a chance to learn a new craft and improve one’s skills, she certainly wouldn’t stand by and watch someone she cared about miss such a great opportunity.

Expert Wang was quite moved. Their line of work needed passionate, kind, and patient people.

"Alright, Xiao Jing, leave the matter of changing your major to me. I guarantee that when school starts in September, you’ll get what you want."

Han Xiaoqing stood and bowed to Expert Wang. "Thank you, Expert Wang. I will study hard and cherish this opportunity that was so hard to come by."

Expert Wang nodded. "Study well. This field is a relatively new one in our country. Once you’ve mastered it, you can become an expert."

"If you successfully complete your studies in this country, I can even recommend you for advanced studies abroad. In this area, foreign countries are far ahead of us. That’s a fact we have to admit."

Han Xiaoqing nodded. "Mhm, I will work my hardest."

After leaving Expert Wang’s office, Han Xiaoqing looked to her sister. "Sis, I’ll be going to university, not just night school. What about Pingping and An’an? Who’s going to look after them?"

Han Xiaorui thought for a moment. "Sister-in-law Xiao Yu, or Sister Cuicui. Besides, I’ve made a lot of money this year. I can just choose to only go out to sea on weekends."

"There are always more solutions than problems, so just focus on school and don’t worry. You have one job now: study hard. And in the future, even if you go abroad to study, you must come back when you’re finished."

"No matter how much better things are abroad, it’s still a foreign country, not our home. When our country sends you abroad, it’s with the hope that you’ll learn from the outside world and return to help build our nation."

Han Xiaoqing nodded emphatically. "I understand, Sis. ’Learn the skills of the foreigner to counter the foreigner.’"

"Er... I guess that’s one way to put it," Han Xiaorui laughed. "To think, in just a few more months, you’ll be a university student! Aren’t you excited?"

"Excited? I’m so happy I could wake up laughing in my sleep!" Han Xiaoqing hugged her sister’s arm, her face wreathed in smiles. "But Sis, why didn’t you mention the donation to the hospital just now?"

Han Xiaorui shook her head. "Now isn’t the right time. We just asked Expert Wang for a big favor. If we offered now, it would look like we were trying to buy her help, and that would make her uncomfortable. I’ll bring it up again in a couple of weeks."

Just then, a young man walked over. He was wearing a suit, his hair slicked with gel in a neat side-part, and he was admittedly quite handsome. "Xiao Jing, I haven’t seen you in a while. Have you run into some trouble? If you have, you must tell me. I’ll help you."

The moment Han Xiaoqing heard his voice, her brow furrowed. "I’ve already made myself perfectly clear. I don’t want anything to do with you."

It was only then that Han Xiaorui realized this must be Doctor Zhao. "Oh, so this is the infamous Doctor Zhao? I heard he’s dated several women, gotten them pregnant without any intention of marrying them, and then forced them to have abortions."

"Slander! That’s pure slander." Seeing Han Xiaoqing’s charmingly angry expression only made Doctor Zhao’s desire for her burn hotter. Then his gaze fell on Han Xiaorui beside her, and his eyes nearly popped out of his head. He just never expected that someone so beautiful would have such a sharp tongue.

Han Xiaorui’s expression turned cold. "I don’t give a damn if it’s slander or not. All I know is, I can’t stand the sight of you. My sister has made it clear she doesn’t want to speak with you, yet you still cozy up to her like you’re old friends. In legal terms, that’s called harassment!"

"Where are your supervisors? Do they not do their jobs? Aren’t doctors supposed to be benevolent? How could they let a shameless creature like you practice medicine? If your bosses won’t handle this, I’ll call the police and get a lawyer to sue you!"

Hearing Han Xiaorui’s shouting, the doctors who weren’t occupied all poked their heads out to see what was going on.

But as soon as they saw Doctor Zhao was involved, they all quickly retracted their heads.

They couldn’t afford to cross Doctor Zhao, but they certainly weren’t going to help him. After all, you can’t wrap a fire in paper, and everyone knew, to some extent, about the rotten things that beast of a man had done.

The smile vanished from Doctor Zhao’s face. "I was just trying to talk to her. Do you really need to blow this all out of proportion?"

Han Xiaorui’s voice was stern and righteous. "I absolutely do! My sister has told me many times that someone’s been harassing her. And another thing: we have it on tape."

With that, Han Xiaorui pulled a tape recorder out of her bag. The proof was right there.

Without a backward glance, Han Xiaorui marched to the Dean’s office. "Dean! One of your doctors is harassing my sister! Are you going to do something about it? Because if you don’t, I’ll sue him!"

’If I didn’t have money, I’d just find a way to throw a sack over his head and beat him senseless.’

’But now that I have money, there’s no way I’m letting my sister or myself be wronged.’

Dean Li was in the middle of a discussion with several colleagues when the door was thrown open. He was startled, but when he saw Doctor Zhao running in after her, he was suddenly furious.

’Damn it,’ he thought. ’Ever since this guy Zhao arrived, all I’ve done is clean up his messes.’

"This is a women’s and children’s hospital! With a hooligan like him on staff, how can you possibly guarantee the safety of women and children?"

"And don’t try to placate me, I have evidence!"

With that, Han Xiaorui hit play on the tape recorder, broadcasting the words she’d had Han Xiaoqing record.

She had come prepared!

"On this tape, my sister explicitly rejects him five times. Today, he continued to harass her right in front of my face. His lecherous eyes are so brazen. The way he looks at my sister and me feels like he’s stripping us with his eyes, and it makes me extremely uncomfortable."

Doctor Zhao’s face flushed red as he reached out to snatch the tape recorder from Han Xiaorui’s hand.

As if Han Xiaorui would let him succeed.

The instant he reached for it, Han Xiaorui shot out a leg and kicked him. "Trying to snatch things in broad daylight! You’re not just a scoundrel, you’re a robber!"

With her strength bolstered by her work as a fisherwoman and her recovering superpower, Han Xiaorui was incredibly strong.

That single kick sent Doctor Zhao sprawling to the floor.

"He tried to snatch my property, so I kicked him. And lucky for me, I recorded that commotion, too."

"And what if you had managed to grab the recorder and the tape? I have copies."

Dean Li and the other administrators saw how formidable Han Xiaorui was, and they realized she had come fully prepared.

Not wanting the situation to escalate, Dean Li quickly said, "Miss, please, calm down. We will be sure to discipline Doctor Zhao from now on."

Han Xiaorui’s expression remained grave. "I’ve already had someone look into Doctor Zhao. I don’t know what your reasons are for protecting him, but I now feel that my sister and my children are in danger here."

"But your hospital is the only one in all of Shencheng with a Department of Child Behavioral Development, so I have no choice but to bring my children here for their sessions. And my sister has no choice but to come along to help me look after them."

"From now on, I’ll be hiring bodyguards to protect my sister and children. And if this Doctor Zhao still has any sinister ideas, I will sue him without hesitation."

Han Xiaoqing never expected her sister to confront him so directly on her behalf. ’My sister isn’t just beautiful,’ she suddenly realized, ’she’s incredibly cool!’
