C34 You Are the Most Suitable Person!

"Of course not," Ji Yu interjected. "An An, this game is only for people who really like each other, like you and Mommy, understand?"

"Oh," the little girl nodded, still puzzled, "So, does that mean Mommy and Mr. Fu just like each other, not really like each other?"

Soong Ruanruan's eyelids twitched; she had never expected her well-behaved daughter to ask such a loaded question.

This time, even Ji Yu was at a loss for words.

Fu Jingchuan, on the other hand, remained exceptionally calm, unfazed by the innocent remarks of the child.

"An An, it's time for us to head back," Soong Ruanruan said as she stepped forward, steering her daughter away from the topic. "Be a good girl and say goodbye to your big brother."

"Bye-bye, big brother!"

Once the trio settled into the car, An An, exhausted from play, dozed off in Soong Ruanruan's embrace, leaving the car in a peaceful silence.

"Ruanruan, do you think he's onto something?" Ji Yu asked, noting Soong Ruanruan's distracted demeanor and recalling the earlier conversation, his concern evident.

Soong Ruanruan silently nodded in agreement.

"Perhaps after Fu Sui's critical phase of treatment, we could consider switching his psychiatrist," Ji Yu suggested. "Otherwise, you'll have to keep seeing Fu Jingchuan, and while you might manage to hide it once or twice, it's not a sustainable solution."

"Mr. Yu, I appreciate your concern, but I'm not comfortable leaving this in someone else's hands. Moreover, changing doctors could disrupt the child's therapy," she replied.

Her concern deepened, especially after realizing that Lo Qing wasn't genuinely invested in Dear Sui's well-being.

Ji Yu fell silent for a moment before adding, "Well, if there's anything you need help with, you can always reach out to me. We could even start meeting up more often."

Soong Ruanruan caught the implication of his last remark. If she were frequently seen with Ji Yu, surely Fu Jingchuan would drop any suspicions, right? It would also affirm her status as a married woman, deterring any unwarranted advances.

However, she couldn't help but worry about the potential impact on Ji Yu's romantic prospects.

If she had any other option, she would have never considered trying.

Sensing her hesitation, Ji Yu reassured her, "I'm planning to focus on advancing my career over the next two years, so I won't be thinking about dating or marriage for a while. You have nothing else to worry about."

Soong Ruanruan felt a warmth in her heart. "I understand."

Without Ji Yu's occasional assistance over the years, she would have likely faced even greater difficulties.

To her, he was like family.

...

Within the Lo family's grand estate, Lo's father's voice echoed with dissatisfaction.

"You can't even secure a dinner date; what good are you!"

Seeing her daughter's eyes brimming with tears, Lo's mother said with compassion, "Enough, enough. Qing wants to marry into the Fu family as soon as possible too, but what can we do if there's no spark between them?"

"They're already engaged; who needs a spark? It's a done deal!" Lo's father glared at his daughter. "I think you're the one without a brain. If an ugly woman can attract a wild child, why can't you be a bit more cunning?"

Lo Qing bit her lip, too afraid to speak.

Her father's words, however, sparked an idea in her. Since making no progress with Fu Sui, perhaps it was time to shift her focus...

...

Early the next morning, Soong Ruanruan released a statement on her personal social media account.

Within an hour, the hospital followed up with a legal notice.

The issue quickly gained significant traction online.

At the Stars Entertainment headquarters, a producer angrily tossed several pages of documents at Soong Feifei.

"Look at the mess you've made! Of all people to provoke, you had to choose someone connected to the Fu family. What were you thinking?!"

Soong Feifei, scolded to the point of being unable to lift her head, picked up the papers and her eyes widened in shock.

"Libel?! How is that possible? I just had some trolls write a few articles, surely it's not that serious?"

"Not that serious? Ha, just look at it yourself!" The producer slid the laptop towards her.

"As a child's psychiatrist, I am entitled to protect the privacy of each therapist involved. However, as the situation has escalated, let me clarify: Mr. Fu and I have met privately on multiple occasions for necessary communication, and there is no need for rumor-mongering. Should this interfere with the child's psychological treatment, I reserve the right to take legal action..."

Soong Feifei read the statement sentence by sentence, her anxiety mounting with each word.

"Now the hospital is holding us accountable, and many there are aware that the psychiatrist has made progress with Young Master Fu. Why didn't you thoroughly investigate before publishing your story?" she was chastised.

"How was I supposed to know she was legitimate..." Soong Feifei fumed with frustration.

She had underestimated the woman, dismissing her as unattractive and assuming her role as a psychiatrist was a mere facade. She had not anticipated the woman to have any real authority, let alone the audacity to confront her publicly online. This was a score Soong Feifei would not soon forget.

Shortly after, Stars Entertainment issued a formal apology and pledged to enhance their artists' moral and professional training, insisting that Soong Feifei personally apologize to Dr. Soong.

While netizens treated the incident as mere gossip, for Soong Feifei, it was an unbearable disgrace.

A day went by without an apology from Soong Feifei; all Soong Ruanruan received was a perfunctory gesture from Stars Entertainment. Clearly, they believed the company's statement was sufficient and had no intention of addressing the matter privately.

Soong Ruanruan, preoccupied with her work and noting the online rumors had subsided, decided not to dwell on the issue.

On Monday, Fu Sui returned to Central Hospital for a follow-up examination.

Soong Ruanruan was by his side, and as the results came in one after another, her brow furrowed with concern.

Dear Sui was alarmingly frail.

"See here, there's clear hypoglycemia, and the BMI is also concerning," the specialist said, shaking his head. "Young Master Fu's physical condition is really not suited for donation. Despite the high match rate, we can't ensure there won't be complications during the process."

Fu Sui listened intently, young as he was, grasping the gravity of the doctor's words.

Soong Ruanruan couldn't suppress the ache in her heart. "Dear Sui..."

Just then, a nurse's voice echoed from the office door. "Dr. Soong, you have a visitor."

Entering the reception room, Soong Ruanruan was somewhat taken aback.

Soong Feifei and the head of the department were seated on the couch, deep in conversation, surrounded by several staff members and a collection of filming equipment.

This clearly wasn't a simple matter of making amends.

"Soong, come and have a seat."

The director, adept at social graces, exchanged a few pleasantries before Soong Ruanruan grasped their intentions.

She was aware that the hospital had long been planning to promote mental healthcare and had already discussed a partnership with Stars Entertainment for a feature interview. The goal was to disseminate basic psychological knowledge to the public, fostering awareness and understanding of the field.

The original plan was for a more senior professor to conduct the interview, but due to an unfortunate flight delay, he couldn't make it back today. Soong Feifei had specifically requested Soong Ruanruan as his replacement.

"Soong, you're the most suitable person for this now. Your exemplary work at the hospital speaks for itself, and I'm confident you can handle this promotional activity," the director said courteously. "I just wonder if you're available today?"

It was a last-minute substitution, and since she hadn't been informed beforehand, the director felt somewhat remorseful.

Soong Feifei quickly chimed in, "If Dr. Soong can handle Young Master Fu's psychological therapy, then her professional skills are undoubtedly solid. A simple interview should be a breeze for her, right?"

The director, visibly uncomfortable, added, "If you're not willing, there's no pressure. We can always cancel and reschedule the interview."

Soong Feifei bristled at the suggestion. "Who knows when the next opportunity will be? Director Yang, it wasn't easy for us to come all this way. I even postponed today's filming to partner up for this segment."

She was serious—she had gone to great lengths to secure this episode's partnership. If Soong Ling didn't show, how could she possibly proceed with her upcoming scenes?
