Tycoon: From Rags to Riches

Chapter 67: Chapter 67: The Model

After the hospital leadership left, the other nurses, who had been as quiet as mice, immediately swarmed around Xu Mo.

"Momo, who was that young man just now? Is he your boyfriend?"

"Momo, you’ve really been wronged. We all felt it was unfair, but our words don’t carry any weight, so we really couldn’t help you."

"Wicked people get what’s coming to them. That Old Witch Ding got what she deserved today!"

"Momo, we’re all sisters in the trenches together. When you make it big, please don’t forget about us!"

...

Xu Mo, who had just been treated like the Plague God, instantly became the center of attention.

Everywhere she looked, everyone was all smiles. Some even had a fawning look on their faces.

"Hey, hey, hey..."

"Stop trying to butter Momo up."

Liu Dan squeezed through the crowd at just the right moment. "Let Momo go change. She has a date with her boyfriend to get to."

"Right, right."

"We can’t keep Momo’s boyfriend waiting."

Hearing this, the crowd immediately parted to make way for her.

A man who could summon their vice dean with a single phone call was not someone they, a bunch of lowly nurses, could afford to offend.

In the center of the crowd, Xu Mo saw that everyone seemed to have tacitly accepted Gu Heng as her boyfriend. She tried to open her mouth to explain several times, but never found the right opportunity.

In the end, blushing, she silently acquiesced to their assumption.

"Momo, you have no idea."

"After I told Gu Heng what happened to you, he was so distraught that he immediately picked up the phone and called Dean Jiang."

The crowd escorted Xu Mo toward the locker room. Liu Dan, arm in arm with Xu Mo, began to reenact the scene, imitating Gu Heng.

"Hello?"

"Dean Jiang?"

"This is Gu Heng. Is now a good time to talk?"

Liu Dan put on a serious expression, held her other hand up like a phone, and deliberately lowered her voice to make it deep and magnetic.

With such a dramatic event unfolding before her eyes, Liu Dan was a bit giddy. As if possessed by a drama queen, she reenacted the entire process vividly.

Of course...

From a woman’s perspective, Gu Heng’s actions today were nothing less than a hero saving the damsel in distress. So, as Liu Dan imitated him, she couldn’t help but add a bit of dramatic flair, giving her version an inexplicable touch of an urban romance novel.

And for these young nurses, urban romance was already their favorite genre. So after Liu Dan finished her description, they all stared at Xu Mo with faces full of envy.

"Momo, I just heard Dean Jiang call your boyfriend Chairman Gu. What does your boyfriend do?"

A young nurse asked, her face full of curiosity.

"Well..."

Xu Mo was at a loss for words. She herself had no idea what Gu Heng actually did. They had never talked about that sort of thing during their usual chats.

"Momo’s boyfriend is pretty low-key, so don’t go prying."

Seeing Xu Mo’s expression, Liu Dan immediately stepped in to help her out of the tight spot.

"Alright, alright."

"Stop crowding around."

"Go on, get back to whatever you were doing."

Both Liu Dan and Hu Yan were senior nurses under Ding Xia, and Liu Dan was now the one closest to Xu Mo. When people saw Liu Dan starting to shoo them away, they all took the hint and stopped crowding around.

After the crowd dispersed, Liu Dan and Xu Mo returned to the locker room.

"Momo, hurry and change. Don’t keep Gu Heng waiting."

Liu Dan urged Xu Mo on as she hurried over to a locker and began rummaging through it.

Xu Mo didn’t know what Liu Dan was looking for, but she obediently went to her own locker, took off her nurse’s uniform, and changed into her street clothes.

"Sister Dan, thank you."

In the quiet locker room, Xu Mo’s gentle voice suddenly broke the silence.

Liu Dan, who was still rummaging in the locker, paused for a moment. "Momo, honestly, I’m pretty ashamed of myself today. I knew that bitch Hu Yan framed you and was in cahoots with Ding Xia, but I didn’t have the guts to stand up and say a word for you. I’m really pathetic."

Xu Mo’s tone was very sincere. "Sister Dan, just telling Gu Heng the truth of what happened... I’m already so grateful to you for that."

Liu Dan turned around, a complicated look in her eyes as she gazed at Xu Mo.

Then, holding the item she had just found in the locker, she walked quickly to Xu Mo’s side.

"Take this..."

Liu Dan said, stuffing the item into Xu Mo’s pocket.

"What is it?"

Xu Mo looked bewildered. She subconsciously reached into her pocket, pulled out the thing Liu Dan had just stuffed in, and glanced at it.

In an instant, Xu Mo’s fair, translucent face turned bright red.

Because the thing Liu Dan had stuffed into her pocket was none other than a condom—something she had only ever heard about, but never seen.

"Sister Dan, why would you give me this!"

Even Xu Mo’s small, delicate ears turned completely red.

"Keep it, keep it! Better to be safe than sorry!"

Liu Dan spoke with the tone of someone with experience. "You two have just become adults. It’s the time when it’s easiest to lose control. You’re the girl, you have to know how to protect yourself."

"Sister Dan, Gu Heng and I..."

Xu Mo was mortified. "We’re just normal friends. There’s no way we’d do... that kind of thing."

"Oh?"

"Normal friends?"

"Then who was it that threw herself into his arms and started crying just now?"

Liu Dan looked at Xu Mo with a teasing smile and joked.

"Sister Dan..."

Being teased like this by Liu Dan, the already thin-skinned Xu Mo was so embarrassed she couldn’t even lift her head.

"Hahaha..."

"Just listen to your big sister. Keep it in your pocket, better safe than sorry."

"It’s not like it’s heavy, and at the critical moment, it could literally save your life!"

Without taking no for an answer, Liu Dan took Xu Mo’s hand, which was still clutching the condom, and pushed it back into her pocket.

Xu Mo, her face beet red, stammered for a while but ultimately didn’t take it out again, as if tacitly agreeing with Liu Dan.

Seeing this, a hint of a smile flashed in Liu Dan’s eyes.

"Momo, the box I just gave you has all the sizes."

"It has large, medium, and small sizes inside. If you actually end up using them, remember to pick the right size. If Gu Heng is especially big and you put a small one on him, it’ll be uncomfortable and unsafe..."

Xu Mo, who had just barely managed to cool her blush, never expected Liu Dan to start talking about something even more explicit.

If this were a manga, Xu Mo would look like a boiling kettle right now, completely flushed red from head to toe.

"Sister Dan, I..."

"I get it, please don’t say any more."

It was certainly new information.

Before this, Xu Mo genuinely had no idea that those things even came in different sizes.

But to talk about it so openly... wasn’t that just a little too embarrassing?

Xu Mo was too embarrassed to lift her head, but as Liu Dan was talking, an uncontrollable thought, one that made her even more mortified, suddenly flashed through her mind.

’Gu Heng...’

’I wonder what size he would be?’

At this thought, Xu Mo could feel her little heart pounding...
