That year, a marriage contract resulted in helpless betrayal. She willingly went to prison for five years, yet she couldn't earn his forgiveness.
The past beauty turned into endless hurt,...
☆, Chapter 158 One Hundred and Fifty Eight is just a play
Thanks to the doctor's timely rescue, Mrs. Su finally survived the critical period. Although she was saved this time, it may not be the same next time.
Mrs. Su's body was already at the end of its strength, with cancer in the late stage, and she could only wait for death.
But perhaps Su Qiqiao's words also played a certain role, which made Mrs. Su's desire to survive even stronger, and the pain in her body was no match for the expectation in her heart.
It was her daughter's wedding!
Just make it until next month!
It will be next month!
"Your family members should be mentally prepared." The doctor shook his head and sighed as he left.
Various instruments were inserted into Mrs. Su's body again.
As a family member, I feel endless heartache when I see this.
Su Zhe stood at the entrance of the corridor smoking one cigarette after another, while Su Zelin stood at the door of the ward looking at Mrs. Su.
Su Qiqiao leaned against the wall and looked at the ground quietly. No one knew what she was thinking until a pair of leather shoes appeared in her sight. Then she raised her head and looked at him.
"Let's talk." Nan Jinnian looked at her, his eyes filled with endless depth, deep tenderness, and lingering love.
Various complicated emotions made Su Qiqiao not want to think about what he wanted to talk about. She just took him to the rooftop of the hospital like a robot.
Seeing a tattered wooden board on the rooftop, Su Qiqiao walked over and sat down, then curled up like a ball.
Nan Jinnian looked at Su Qiqiao and felt heartbroken, but he had to take some action!
Because if he doesn't seize the opportunity this time... his lover will really leave him!
Seeing that he was still silent, Su Qiqiao said, "Go ahead."
Nan Jinnian came to his senses and sat down next to Su Qiqiao, not caring whether the wooden board was dirty or not.
"Marry me." Nan Jin said in a young voice.
Su Qiqiao buried his face in his arms, then muffled his voice and said, "What do you want to say to Mr. Nan?"
"I don't need to say anything to him." Nan Jinnian's voice couldn't help but become low.
Hearing this, she finally looked up at him: "Nan Jinnian, that's not what I meant by getting married."
"What's the point of getting married?" Nan Jinnian asked her back.
Su Qiqiao was suddenly choked, but thought of her mother in the ward.
She smiled bitterly: "Yeah, what's the point..." What's the point of this?
They are entangled with each other and hurt each other, feeling exhausted both physically and mentally.
But they still don't want to let go of each other...
"Nan Jinnian, marriage... is just a show." Su Qiqiao said softly.
Nan Jinnian's pupils shrank slightly, and he grabbed Su Qiqiao's wrist tightly: "But I don't want to!"
"Whether you want it or not, it's just a show! If you don't want to... I can find someone else!" Su Qiqiao's tone was extremely calm, as if her emotions would not fluctuate at all.
"I don't allow it!" Nan Jinnian couldn't help but use some strength in his hands, which made Su Qiqiao frown slightly. He pulled Su Qiqiao into his arms: "Except me! You are not allowed to marry anyone else!"
However, Su Qiqiao slowly and forcefully pushed him away; "You are already the son-in-law of the Jing family, Nan Jinnian." There was no emotion in her eyes, and there was a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, as if she really didn't care about him anymore!
Nan Jinnian panicked, and said anxiously, "Qiaoqiao! That was just a delaying tactic! I didn't really want to marry Jing Qian! Believe me! I'm really innocent..."
"Is there any point in saying this now?" Su Qiqiao looked at him quietly, then stood up: "Nan Jinnian, I'm really tired. I can't love you anymore. Thank you for accompanying me to finish this play. If you don't want to, I won't force you. You can see how my mother is now. I don't want to think about what happened between us anymore..."
After she finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the stairs. At this time, Nan Jinnian shouted at her, "I promise!"
Su Qiqiao paused, only to hear Nan Jinnian say again, "I promise! Let's get married, and I... will act this out with you."
After hearing the last sentence, Su Qiqiao closed her eyes and then looked at him with a smile: "Thank you, Nan Jinnian."
In Yuncheng City, Nan Zhenhua sat in the president's office looking at the empty desk, with Jing Qian crying beside him.
She was still frightened by the trick Su Qiqiao played on her before, so she did not interfere too much in Nan Jinnian's affairs during this period.
But for what happened last time, besides the lingering fear, she also felt a strong resentment!
This resentment seemed to surpass her fear. She wanted Su Qiqiao to disappear from this world forever! But she didn't have the ability...
"Xixi, don't worry, I will definitely teach that brat a lesson for you when he comes back!" Nan Zhenhua was very angry at this time. He thought that his grandson had not looked for that woman for a month, and his thoughts on her would gradually fade away, but who knew that this kid actually went directly to the imperial capital to find that woman!
Nan Zhenhua pursed his lips and stared at the office door.
Finally, Lin Cheng pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing the two of them gave him a headache, but he still walked over and said, "Mr. Nan, Ms. Jing, something suddenly happened at the Imperial Capital branch, so President Nan went to deal with it."
"A small branch company needs a CEO like him to personally take action!" Nan Zhenhua glared at Lin Cheng.
Lin Cheng's forehead was covered in cold sweat. If the two people in front of him knew that their boss had started preparing for the wedding... would they send him to the hospital directly?
But their boss is also very capable! He caught up with him and started secretly preparing for the wedding...
But things happened too suddenly. It’s the 20th of next month, and there’s less than a month left... How can I prepare for it?
"Call your President Nan back immediately! Someone from the Jing family is coming! If he still wants his company, get out of here right now!" Nan Zhenhua slammed the table hard.
Lin Cheng and Jing Qian were both startled.
Seeing this, Lin Cheng hurriedly said, "Yes! I'll contact President Nan right away."
After walking out of the office, Lin Cheng suddenly felt relieved, but when he thought of Nan Zhenhua's words, his heart became nervous again.
The female secretary quietly walked behind Lin Cheng and gently patted his shoulder: "Lin Cheng!"
"Ahhh! Who!?" Lin Cheng was so frightened that he screamed, scaring the female secretary.
The female secretary looked at him in surprise.
As for Special Assistant Lin, although his work style is not as good as the president's, he has been with the president for a long time and has a cold temperament.
She had just made a little joke, how come she had scared away all of Special Assistant Lin's temperament?
Lin Cheng gritted his teeth and calmed himself down when he saw the female secretary. He then looked at her and said, "You! What's the matter?" The female secretary laughed innocently and said, "Assistant Lin... I just wanted to ask where the president is? You don't even know that the group chat is going crazy! I don't know where this rumor came from, saying that the president is going to marry Miss Su... Uh-huh!"
Before the female secretary could finish her words, Lin Cheng pressed her against the wall and covered her mouth, then looked around nervously. After confirming that Jing Qian and Nan Zhenhua were not around, Lin Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The female secretary was suddenly pressed against the wall with her mouth covered, and her face turned red.
When Lin Cheng came to his senses, he realized how ambiguous his gestures were towards the female secretary! "Ahem! Well, that's all just nonsense! It's not true!" Lin Cheng quickly turned around.
He works so hard for his boss, how can he have time to flirt with young ladies!
Suddenly, Lin Cheng frowned. This was the news his boss had just told him... How did they know?!
The female secretary uttered a soft "oh" and was about to leave when Lin Cheng suddenly grabbed her shoulders again: "Wait! Where did this news come from!?"
The female secretary's eyelids jumped when she saw Lin Cheng's expression: "Assistant Lin...is this true?"
"No! How could it be true? I just want to find out who spread the rumor! It would not be good if Miss Jing heard it." Lin Cheng smiled awkwardly.
The female secretary looked skeptical and finally said, "It was posted anonymously... I don't know who leaked the news."
Lin Cheng took out his cell phone the moment he heard that. He must have been overheard by someone when he received a call from his boss!
But anonymously...
"What group?"
"A group of penguins." The female secretary laughed.
"When did another group of penguins appear?" Lin Cheng asked in confusion.
"How about I take you in?" The female secretary looked at him.
Lin Cheng shook his head. "I haven't used my Penguin account for a long time. Forget it. Please tell the group on my behalf. If you spread rumors again, your salary will be deducted! And there's also the year-end bonus!"
"Ah? So cruel?" The female secretary frowned.
Lin Cheng glanced at the female secretary and suddenly found that his hand was on her shoulder. He was a little startled and then lowered his head and said, "Sorry! Sorry to trouble you!" Then he left in a hurry.
After watching Lin Cheng leave, the female secretary smiled meaningfully and said, "I didn't expect Special Assistant Lin to be so innocent."

"Okay, okay! Why are you crying, a grown man?" Mrs. Su looked at Su Zelin impatiently.
"I'm not crying!" Su Zelin quickly retorted.
Madam Su rolled her eyes at him and said, "I don't know you yet! I even saw you secretly wiping away tears just now!"
"I..." Su Zelin wanted to say something, but Su Qiqiao interrupted him directly: "Okay, brother, don't refute it~"
Su Qiqiao looked at Madam Su and said, "Mom, I'm getting married on the 20th of next month. I'll find someone to livestream it for you then."
"Why live broadcast? I want to go there in person!" Mrs. Su frowned and suddenly came to this conclusion.
This made Su Qiqiao a little stunned.
She originally wanted to show her mother the wedding via video. That way, she could hire someone to pretend to be a guest, and the wedding wouldn't need to be too fancy; a simple decoration would be enough...
But if you go there...
Su Zelin naturally knew what was going on, so he said, "Mom, how can you go to Yuncheng in this state?"
"Why can't I go! I must go! How can I not go to my daughter's wedding!" Mrs. Su suddenly got angry!
Su Zhe heard this and said, "Go ahead, I'll follow you."
The brother and sister both looked at their father: "Dad!?"
"Yes! I'll go with your father! We'll support you then!" Mrs. Su felt confident instantly after getting the support of her husband.
At this moment, Nan Jinnian's voice suddenly emerged: "If Uncle Su and Aunt Su were to come, I would be more than happy to have them."
