Chapter 1317: Chapter 1317: Make Her Apologize Publicly Chapter 1317: Chapter 1317: Make Her Apologize Publicly However, Qiao Yin was not someone to be trifled with now. She forthrightly said, “Since you insist on saying that our hospital is responsible for what happened to your face, then let’s call the police and have the authorities investigate whether it’s the hospital’s responsibility or if you’re lying.”

“Our hospital can’t just be accused casually. The reputation we have built is hard-earned through the diligent and earnest work of our medical staff. Gu Ranmo, by throwing such an accusation, you negate all their efforts.”

Having said that, Qiao Yin took out her phone and directly dialed the emergency number.

Just as she was about to make the call, Gu Ranxuan reached out her hand and covered Qiao Yin’s phone.

“Third Sister, we’re all family here. There’s no need to call the police, right?”

Gu Ranxuan’s voice wasn’t loud, but her tone carried the domineering presence of an Eldest Miss. “Regardless of how Momo’s face ended up like this, she’s in bad shape now. Shouldn’t you at least take a look at her first? If she gets better, the problem will be solved, and Momo will have no reason to cling to this issue anymore. What do you think?”

Qiao Yin almost laughed. “Eldest Sister, by saying this, why does it sound like I’m the one being unreasonable? She’s in this severe condition because of her own doing, isn’t it? If she wasn’t planning to falsely accuse our hospital, how could she have ended up like this?”

“Second Sister even threatened me yesterday, wanting to post on Weibo, telling everyone that our doctors are quacks, and our hospital is unscrupulous. Why didn’t you stand up for our hospital then, Eldest Sister?”

“You don’t think that just because she’s bereft of any moral integrity, I should respond with grace and talk about sisterly affection, do you?”

“I’m sorry, but I am someone who can tolerate anything but injustice. If you want me to treat her, she should post on Weibo, openly apologizing to our hospital and the doctor she accused!”

Gu Ranmo’s face was a mix of blue and purple, itchy and painful. She was already in a bad mood, and when she heard Qiao Yin demanding an apology, she exploded, “Qiao Yin! Don’t push your luck, expecting an apology from me to your hospital? You must be dreaming! I’m being nice by not demanding an apology from you; where do you get the nerve to ask me for one!”

She tugged at Gu Ranxuan’s sleeve, anxiously saying, “Eldest Sister, look, I told you she wouldn’t admit her fault! She doesn’t admit her own mistakes, and now she’s even trying to blame me! It’s clear she thinks she’s untouchable because she has someone backing her up, and doesn’t take us seriously!”

As she spoke, she glanced at Lu Lingche, the implication clear–Qiao Yin was becoming arrogant because of Lu Lingche’s support.

Gu Ranxuan also glanced at Lu Lingche, but she quickly refocused on Qiao Yin. “Third Sister, I’ve asked Momo carefully, and indeed she developed this condition after being treated at your hospital, and she only used the ointment prescribed by your hospital.”

“You know the nature of Momo’s job. Her face is very important. Even a small flaw can be magnified by those with ulterior motives. Moreover, she’s about to start shooting a film soon; you surely can’t let her go on set like that.”

“Since we are sisters, both of you take a step back. Momo won’t linger on this matter anymore, nor will she come to disturb you. You just help her heal her face first.”

Qiao Yin looked at Gu Ranxuan coldly. “This isn’t about both sides taking a step back; this is about me retreating single-handedly. Her face had nothing to do with our hospital to begin with; she came here intentionally to cause trouble, and she never should have fixated on this issue.”

Gu Ranxuan frowned slightly. “Third Sister, must you be so petty? A step back opens up the vast sky; why must you make this so rigid?”

“I feared that Momo, being willful, would come here and add to your trouble impulsively. That’s why I didn’t even go to the company today, instead I came here with her, hoping to mediate and smooth things over.”

Gu Ranmo gritted her teeth and said, “Exactly, you don’t know what’s good for you. Eldest Sister has already persuaded me to take a step back, and I agreed, but you’re still being stubborn and petty, unwilling to give an inch, narrow-minded–it’s no wonder nobody wants to be your friend!”
