Guo Shuiyu’s eyes held no warmth. "Why save me?"
Yunyi sighed softly inwardly, her thoughts turning to Qiao’er’s mother. "Haven’t you already made your choice? Are you thinking of backing out again?"
At Yunyi’s words, Guo Shuiyu’s head shot up to meet her eyes. "What do you know?"
Seeing her tense up, Yunyi responded, "I just happened to run into Qiao’er’s mother and figured it out myself. Don’t worry, I won’t spread it around."
Relieved by these words, Guo Shuiyu finally relaxed. "I indeed can’t back out anymore; otherwise, I’m afraid my three children will also meet a bad end."
Yunyi patted her rough hand. "Everything will pass. Sleep well."
Perhaps life in that home was too oppressive, or perhaps it was the constant, immense pressure on her body and mind. Once she learned she was in the county hospital and Zhang Chunshan wasn’t there, it didn’t take long for her to fall asleep again.
Yunyi once again sat on the bench in the hallway and began to meditate.
The next morning, she went to the canteen, got a serving of millet porridge, and entered the ward.
She had checked on her several times the previous day. Seeing that Guo Shuiyu was indeed alright, Yunyi finally felt at ease.
There were two reasons she hadn’t personally performed the surgery for her at the Agricultural Reclamation Group’s infirmary. First, she didn’t want to deal with the Zhang Family. Second, the infirmary’s surgical environment was unsuitable for such a procedure.
Seeing her awake, Yunyi spoke, "I fetched some porridge. I’ll feed you some. Later on, Zhang Family Village should send someone over. Your task now is to focus on recovering well."
Guo Shuiyu was very grateful to Yunyi. "I’m sorry to have troubled you."
Yunyi helped her up and handed over the lunch box. "Today you can only eat liquid food, so I got porridge."
Guo Shuiyu, her face full of shame, whispered, "Thank you."
Zhang Chunshan hadn’t stayed behind, so Yunyi had naturally paid for the meal with Money Coupons. Guo Shuiyu genuinely felt a little embarrassed.
Yunyi, realizing this, explained, "Deputy Chief Geng of the security team said that all your hospital expenses will be deducted from your husband Zhang Chunshan’s salary, so you don’t need to feel burdened."
Beijing Military *** Area
When Huo Jingrui came out after his meeting, he encountered Pan Huixin, who had evidently been lying in wait for him outside. Read complete versıon only at 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✶𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✶𝓷𝓮𝓽
Sensing someone lunging at him, he swiftly sidestepped, and the person went sprawling to the ground.
In front of many onlookers, Pan Huixin lay sprawled on the ground. "Fourth Brother Huo, it hurts!"
An officer accompanying Huo Jingrui muttered under his breath, "Deputy Regimental Commander Huo truly shows no tenderness towards women. No wonder he’s still single. Look how he made that poor girl fall!"
Huo Jingrui’s face instantly turned cold. "If you don’t know how to speak, then shut your mouth."
The officer, seeing his stern face, hurriedly stepped back in fright.
Huo Jingrui didn’t even glance at Pan Huixin on the ground; he stepped around her and walked straight ahead.
Pan Huixin had thought that since they were from the same residential compound and she had fallen, he would surely come forward to help her up.
Alas, she had ultimately expected too much.
Seeing Huo Jingrui walk away, she cried out anxiously, "Fourth Brother Huo, wait! I have something to discuss with you!"
On hearing her, Huo Jingrui not only didn’t stop, but he quickened his pace. He had no desire whatsoever to be entangled with Pan Huixin.
Before leaving the residential compound, he had already found an opportunity to disclose to his own mother, Jiang Jingya, that Pan Huixin’s mother was keeping a young lover.
His mother had already made her stance clear. She had never approved of the members of the Pan family in the first place, and now she would certainly not consider Pan Huixin for him. With a mother like that, who knew when their affairs might be publicly exposed? The mere thought of such a scene gave him goosebumps.
