Qi Zhao couldn't utter a single word: "But...but...but..."

Qiao Tianyue snorted coldly:

"But what?"

When I arrived in Beijing, the first relative I saw was you!

But how did you treat me back then? Have you forgotten?

You started hurling insults at me, calling me a liar!

"I didn't know the situation! I got scammed too!"

A faint blush rose to Qi Zhao's face.

"Moon, you can't keep dwelling on this!"

We need to look forward!

Don't worry, your uncle will make it up to you later!

Look!

As he spoke, he took something wrapped in newspaper from his bag.

He opened the newspaper, inside were stacks of 100-yuan bills.

Qi Zhao wrapped the newspaper back up: "Yue'er, do you believe me now? Your uncle is very sincere in apologizing!"

As he spoke, he handed the paper package to Qiao Tianyue.

Qiao Tianyue didn't move, staring at him angrily.

Qi Zhao was surprised that Qiao Tianyue didn't reach out—you know, before, no matter how much money he gave Xia Tianxiu, she never refused it.

Qi Zhao handed over half of the paper package, then took it back.

He said somewhat awkwardly, "Of course, I can't give you the money now. Yue'er, listen to me, I've already made arrangements with an acquaintance at the Civil Affairs Bureau. You go with this guy to get the divorce done; they're waiting for you in the office! Don't worry, no one will know you were ever married!"

"You're making Xiaoyue divorce me, who are you planning to marry her off to?!" Li Wang finally couldn't hold back any longer and stepped forward.

Qi Zhao looked down at him and said, "I'm not saying this to be mean, but marrying anyone else would be better than marrying you!"

"You're pretty arrogant," Li Wang laughed. "I don't know how Qi Wei raised her children, to raise something like you!"

Li Wang's words were blunt, but Qi Zhao hesitated.

Why would this unassuming young man address his grandfather by his first name?

Qi Zhao asked hesitantly, "Do you know my grandfather?"

Li Wang laughed: "I don't know him, but my grandfather does."

Who is your grandfather?

“Come here, I’ll tell you,” Li Wang said, beckoning to Qi Zhao.

Qi Zhao bent down, and Li Wang whispered in his ear, "My grandfather is..., my father is..."

The voice was very soft, and no one heard it clearly.

Upon hearing this, Qi Zhao's expression instantly changed. He looked at Li Wang, then at Qiao Tianyue, his gaze returning to Li Wang: "You wouldn't happen to be the one...the one who's been living away from home all this time..."

“That’s right, it’s me.” Li Wang’s expression was calm. “Do I now qualify to marry Xiaoyue?”

Qi Zhao's face flushed crimson, and the newspaper bundle in his hand felt as heavy as a ton. He managed to squeeze out a few words: "It was me... I was presumptuous..."

After saying that, he looked at Qiao Tianyue again: "Yue'er, I'm sorry! I... I'm just a clown!"

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Qi Yasheng saw through it—this Li Wang must come from an extremely prominent family!

Su Ruyi also understood this.

However, Li Wang looked sickly and never went to work when he was in Dingjiatun...

Qi Yasheng naturally noticed Li Wang's illness: "Comrade Li Wang, I wish you and Yue'er a happy marriage! But you must tell me honestly—what exactly is wrong with you?"

"I do have some congenital deficiencies."

But don't worry—my grandfather has already hired a renowned doctor to properly treat my health.

Previously, my grandfather and father were in the eye of the storm, and the only way to protect me was to send me far away.

Now that I'm back, I will cooperate with renowned doctors to properly recuperate my body.

Don't worry, I won't die anytime soon!

Li Wang made his point so clear that everyone felt reassured.

Su Ruyi looked at Qiao Tianyue again—this girl's fate had been completely changed from this point on.

She really wanted to help Li Wang improve his health. She had wanted to do this when she was at the Fangchi Retirement Home, but at that time, Lan Jun was with her, which made it inconvenient to do anything and could easily expose her grandfather, so she had put it off.

Now, Li Wang's grandfather has found a renowned doctor for him... Beijing is full of hidden talents, so let's let the renowned doctor show his skills first.

That afternoon, Li Wang took Qiao Tianyue back to his home.

Qi Yasheng was very worried and gave her a lot of instructions.

That evening, Ba Yuchi sent someone to pick up Su Ruyi, saying that he needed to treat an important patient.

During this period, whenever Su Ruyi was in Beijing, Ba Yuchi would often send a car to pick her up and take her to treat all sorts of patients.

Su Ruyi got into the back seat of the black-glass Hongqi car, and the car drove for a long time.

We couldn't see the scenery outside, and we didn't know where we were.

Of course, Su Ruyi still released her divine sense and found that the car eventually stopped in a very secluded courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing.

When entering the courtyard, the car went through three checkpoints.

Su Ruyi was finally asked to get out of the car. The driver politely told her, "Doctor, the patient who needs treatment is in the room with the light on."

Su Ruyi extended her divine sense and, through the warm orange light, saw a young man sitting cross-legged on a heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed) inside the room, drinking tea.

She knocked and entered. The young man turned around and smiled; it was Li Wang!

...

Su Ruyi had a very lively Spring Festival in 1975.

A group of people would think about where to have a meal every day, and take turns hosting.

The cold weather makes the delicious food even more appealing.

Chu Liang'an volunteered to fill the days with activities, and Su Ruyi spent each day in laughter and joy.

However, the three-day holiday passed quickly.

Having confirmed that Su Ruyi would not return to Dingjiatun, or more precisely, that Su Ruyi and his life would no longer intersect, Shen Heping did not return to Heilongjiang Province, but went directly back to Haicheng.

Ji Xuchang was always inseparable from Shen Heping, so he naturally went back to Haicheng with him.

Su Ruyi took Yi Lele to the train station to see the two off, and gave each of them a talisman made by Lan Yu, instructing them to wear it close to their bodies.

Su Ruyi also gave them some of the pills produced by her space: "Brother Heping, Brother Changzi, thank you! You will always be my best friends!"

Shen Heping's eyes were filled with tears: "Friends... friends are good too. Goodbye, little Ruyi."

Ji Xuchang punched him: "You're acting like it's a life-or-death separation! Aren't you going to work at the food factory this time? You and Xiaotong are in the same unit, so you'll see each other again!"

Shen Heping nodded and looked at Su Ruyi again: "Ruyi, you have someone in your heart, right?"

Su Ruyi didn't lie to him and nodded.

"who is he?"

Ji Xuchang exclaimed in surprise, having always thought that Su Ruyi was too young to understand these things.
