He didn't want to be suppressed like this forever.

She didn't want to be targeted by the Gu family at every turn.

Su Jiaojiao felt like killing Fang Cheng.

He was trying to climb up, so why was he pulling her along?

She doesn't have that much ambition for her career.

"Comrade Su Jiaojiao, sister-in-law, please, please save me this once." Fang Cheng knew he had gone too far.

But he had no better path to take.

Right now, only by curing Old Master Gu can he have any hope of returning to Beijing.

There's a brighter future ahead if I go back to Beijing.

Su Jiaojiao rubbed her eyes; she was still a bit sleepy during her pregnancy.

He was even angrier now.

"Comrade Su Jiaojiao, how about this: if I succeed, I will transfer you and Fu Jingchen to Beijing as well?" Fang Cheng could only add more bargaining chips; he had no other conditions to persuade Su Jiaojiao.

Su Jiaojiao didn't care at all: "Oh, what are we going to do in the city? This place is fine."

She really thought it was great.

Given her status here, she wouldn't be reported by too many people.

The situation is different in Beijing and Shanghai.

There will be a lot of trouble.

Fang Cheng's face turned pale with anxiety.

What he can offer is indeed limited.

He only dared to ask Su Jiaojiao for help because he called Fu Jingchen his cousin.

He knew that Su Jiaojiao's medical skills were definitely superior to his own.

As long as Su Jiaojiao is with us, we will definitely achieve our goal.

"Comrade Su Jiaojiao, I'm begging you," Fang Cheng continued, "Come with me to Beijing. I'll do anything you ask, as long as I can."

In fact, he had already reported Su Jiaojiao's name to the authorities.

His actions were somewhat selfish.

But he wanted to seize this opportunity.

"Let Lu Yi go with you. I'm pregnant and can't handle the hassle." Su Jiaojiao wasn't a saint; she wouldn't let herself suffer for someone else.

This was an opportunity to gain exposure, but she didn't need it.

The Fu family needs it too.

Upon hearing this, Fang Cheng sighed.

This was to be expected.

Su Jiaojiao is not the type to be led by the nose by others.

There was no other option but to give up.

He left looking disappointed.

Once there was no more noise outside the door, Su Jiaojiao turned around and went back into her room to continue sleeping.

It's usually a bit hot with Fu Jingchen around.

Now, it actually feels cold.

This is only the first day.

Su Jiaojiao felt that she still missed him quite a bit.

Unfortunately, there were no cell phones in this era, and not every household had a landline.

She could only find solace in sleep.

That night, Fang Cheng and Lu Yi boarded a train to Beijing.

"Xiaoyi, thank you." Fang Cheng looked a little haggard, but spoke earnestly.

Lu Yi smiled and said, "I know, not everyone will indulge you."

It's estimated that Lu Yi is the one who spoils him the most.

Who told her to be so despicable?

"I know." Fang Cheng did understand, but it was too late.

He originally thought that after spending some time with Su Jiaojiao, and given their teacher-student relationship, she would be lenient with him when he asked her for a favor.

Absolutely not.

"Su Jiaojiao is a very insightful person, and she won't be morally blackmailed." Lu Yi witnessed Su Jiaojiao's clear-headedness once again.

She now idolizes Su Jiaojiao.

Fang Cheng glanced at Lu Yi: "You must regret meeting her so late."

He wanted to reconcile with Lu Yi, but was completely rejected.

He could no longer see the light in her eyes.

Before, when she looked at him, her eyes always shone with light.

Thinking about it, he sighed.

I really regret it now!

It was broad daylight.

Before going to work, Du Xiuyun deliberately brought a box of breakfast and knocked on Su Jiaojiao's courtyard gate.

"Mom." Su Jiaojiao was already awake and was preparing to ride her bicycle to work alone in a little while.

"Jingchen called, everything's going smoothly." Du Xiuyun handed the lunchbox to Su Jiaojiao. "Don't worry, just focus on your work."

"Okay, sure." Su Jiaojiao took the lunchbox and nodded listlessly. "Mom, drive carefully."

Seeing her like this, Du Xiuyun felt very sorry for her.

Her daughter-in-law is always full of energy and radiant.

Fu Jingchen had only been gone for a day, and he was already as dejected as a frostbitten eggplant.

Du Xiuyun was still a little worried: "Why don't I take you to the hospital first?"

She can still make it to work.

Su Jiaojiao glanced at her watch: "Mom, no need, I still have half an hour before I go to work."

Seeing this, Du Xiuyun had no choice but to go to the research institute first.

Just in time, Su Jiaojiao rode her bicycle to the hospital.

Her teacher has left, and she won't be attending any more surgeries anytime soon.

It will make things much easier.

This old bicycle isn't quite right for her; she misses her car.

Looks like I'll have to go to the black market to buy a women's bicycle tomorrow.

Fu Jingchen will be gone for a long time.

She was mentally prepared for the office to be empty.

Upon entering the office, he froze in shock.

"Hello." A man in his early twenties wearing a white coat was sitting at Lu Yi's desk.

Upon seeing Su Jiaojiao, he quickly stood up.

Su Jiaojiao raised an eyebrow: "Hello!"

She noticed that new people were arriving at this place quite quickly.

People nowadays have a high level of awareness; they are not afraid of hardship or difficulty and forge ahead bravely.

"I'm a new intern," the man continued. "My name is Bai Shuyuan."

Upon hearing the word "Bai," Su Jiaojiao instinctively thought of Bai Manqi.

There's no way around it; those kinds of eccentric people leave a deeper impression.

"Who is Bai Manqi to you?" Su Jiaojiao couldn't help but ask again, feeling that there must be some connection.

“My aunt,” Bai Shuyuan replied with a smile. “You know my aunt, don’t you?”

You guessed right.

Su Jiaojiao looked Bai Shuyuan up and down again.

He looked very refined, with a touch of shyness, and his every move exuded a scholarly air.

"I know him." Su Jiaojiao wasn't interested in saying more to him. "Su Jiaojiao."

This way of speaking left Bai Shuyuan somewhat bewildered.

He immediately realized that the name Su Jiaojiao was the name of the comrade in front of him.

Then I was stunned. Where have I ever heard of this?

But I can't remember.

Wanting to ask something more, Fang Yan, leaning on his cane, walked over.

He came to see Su Jiaojiao. Fang Cheng and Lu Yi have left, so he needs to take better care of Su Jiaojiao.

But he was taken aback for a moment: "Xiao Ci, what are you doing here?"

That was truly shocking.

"Big Cousin." Bai Shuyuan's face lit up with a smile, and he looked quite cheerful. "What are you doing here? What happened to your leg? Were you injured on a mission?"

He knew he would run into his cousins ​​here.

As he spoke, he walked to the door to help Fang Yan.

Fang Yan looked at him warily: "What are you doing here? Did my mother send you?"

"What? I'm here to support the development of the Northwest. What does that have to do with my aunt?" Bai Shuyuan asked, looking puzzled. "I signed up a long time ago. This is just my turn."

There was a hint of pride on his face.
