“It’s okay now. It’s okay. I’m all right.”
Su Qingsang knew that it was hard for Xiang Caiping to change her cautious and wary attitude for the time being. There was still plenty of time; they could take their time.
In the bedroom that night, Su Qingsang lay on the bed, thinking about Xiang Caiping’s expressions today. She felt sympathy for her.
“Huo Jinyao.”
“Yes?”
“Let’s go to the villa this weekend. Let’s take Aunt.”
“Okay, anything you say.”
“It looks like she had a hard time these past few years. I don’t know how to be good to her.”
“You are being good to her by accepting her.”
“Really?”
“Really.”
“Well, should I go shopping with her this weekend? To buy her some clothes and other things?”
“Yeah. I’ll be your driver.”
“Good.” Su Qingsang looked up at him and thought that Huo Jinyao was so kind to listen to her.
She couldn’t help but raise her head and give him a kiss on the jaw.
Narrowing his eyes, Huo Jinyao suddenly turned over and pinned her down. “Is that all?”
“What?”
“I’m going to be your driver this weekend and your thank you gift is just a kiss?”
“You—” Su Qingsang blushed a little and said, “That was not a thank you gift.”
How does an affectionate kiss become a gift?
“So you think you don’t have to thank me?”
“How do you want me to thank you?”
“You are too smart not to know the answer to that question, aren’t you?”
Huo Jinyao’s smirk made Su Qingsang a little uncomfortable. Still, she reached out her hand and put it on Huo Jinyao’s chest on second thought.
By the end of the night, Huo Jinyao was quite satisfied with his thank you gift.
He was very satisfied!
…
Su Qingsang took a look at the hospital record in her hands when she entered Ward 7. She was seeing the woman who had jumped off the building.
She had been there for three days, but no one had come to see her or look after her. She had been taken care of by the nurses.
Frowning, Su Qingsang walked in to give her a normal examination. She asked casually as she was leaving, “Where is your family?”
The woman’s arm and legs were broken and in a cast. She could only move one hand, with which she straightened the clothes of the baby next to her.
“I don’t know. Maybe gambling somewhere.”
Her husband wanted to take the little money they had to gamble and he beat her when she refused. That was why she had tried to commit suicide in a fit of desperation. Still, it was nothing to the awful man because he had run away with the money.
Su Qingsang didn’t know what to say. When she left the ward, she told the nurse to take better care of her and asked someone to find a volunteer to help look after her. With these arrangements made, she felt a little better.
The phone beeped. Huo Jinyao sent a message to her, saying that he would not be home for dinner because of a work dinner.
Su Qingsang replied that she understood and went back to her office. Before long, she heard a noise outside. There were still pregnant women to be examined, but the noise grew louder and louder.
Su Qingsang couldn’t do examinations well, so she told the pregnant woman in front of her to wait a moment. She went outside to check out the sound, only to see a thin man dragging Liu Xiangyu outside.
Liu Xiangyu was the pregnant woman who had jumped off the building. She looked helpless and embarrassed being dragged with her broken arm and legs.
The nurses and several young doctors were trying to stop him, but the man insisted on dragging her out.
“Stop it.” Su Qingsang rushed forward and pushed the man away.
