After her death, Su Di discovered she was living inside a book where the female protagonist became wealthy and successful in the past era.
Unfortunately, she wasn't the female protagonist...
They haven't spoken in ages. Meng Yixuan doesn't want to stay in the office every day; she always goes to other offices to kill time.
This time, she actually took the initiative to speak, which aroused everyone's curiosity, and they also felt that she was plotting something.
"What's it to you?" Zhu Qingling retorted immediately. Although she hadn't spoken to her for a long time, she hadn't forgotten what this person had done.
"I was just asking. I have a cousin who works as a nurse at the Second People's Hospital in Beijing. The hospital there is quite good. If you go there, it'll be like having someone you know."
Meng Yixuan looked at Su Ti with a kind expression, but what she really wanted was for Su Ti to know the news as soon as possible.
Suti's condition is abnormal, according to her consultation. She must have eaten too much during her pregnancy, as her belly is so big but she hasn't gained much weight.
The baby must have absorbed it all, which will definitely make it difficult to give birth. This is her only hope now.
No one in her family supported her; her father even wanted to change her job. She was truly at her wit's end.
"Maybe, it's not certain yet," Suti thought, wondering if this was what was waiting for her.
Her grandfather and the others had already arranged which hospital she would go to; she wouldn't go to that so-called "Second Hospital."
"Then let's agree on that." Meng Yixuan's eyes lit up when she heard this, regardless of whether Su Ti said "maybe".
Zhu Qingling glared at her. She felt that Meng Yixuan was trying to coax her again, and she wouldn't give her that chance.
When she got back, she asked her father if they had any relatives at the hospital they could introduce to Suti.
Suti only managed to escape from the two overly enthusiastic people when the director came looking for him.
"Comrade Su, this is your leave slip. You can rest assured and focus on your maternity leave. Our department is not busy, and we do not need anyone else to temporarily take over your work."
"And the work you reported last time, I've been keeping an eye on it for you. The dam has been reinforced, which is a good thing, so you don't need to worry about it."
The director handed the leave slip to Suti and told her about the progress of the dam, just so she could take a leave of absence without worry.
Comrade Su is really different from others; he has too many things to worry about. He runs to the minister's office every few days because of this dam.
With such a large belly, the minister was really worried that something might happen to her, and he also became nervous, paying close attention to the dam project.
This is the first time in all these years that their Reform Department has taken something so seriously. I don't know why Comrade Su is so concerned about this matter.
"That's good." Su Ti thought that if she remembered the time correctly, everything would be over after her postpartum period, and when she returned to the Reform Department, it would be a completely different world.
Suti stayed home to prepare for childbirth, but her family members were all very nervous, which made her a little flustered as well.
In the last few days before her due date, Su Ti planned to stay at the hospital, when Qin Lie came to her door.
"Comrade Su, I'm really sorry to bother you by coming here. I have something to say to you."
Qin Lie's face was full of apology when he saw the person.
"Please sit down." Su Ti didn't know why he had come to see her at this time. Grandma Guo looked at him and, feeling uneasy, also sat down beside him.
"Comrade Su, it's really hard to say, but I was so sure that nothing would happen to my family, but now..."
“My younger sister stole the family’s household registration book and got married to that guy Qi Bowen. When I heard the news, I immediately broke off all ties with her.”
"I can't bring myself to tell my family that they don't know about this, but I don't know how he got in touch with my younger sister."
“I’m quite busy with work. By the time I found out what was going on, they had already gone into hiding. I’m looking for them now.”
"But what I want to tell you is that I will not stand on his side." Qin Lie genuinely felt that this matter was very shameful.
At first, he thought Comrade Su was overreacting, but now it seems that he was prescient.
He never imagined his parents would be so brainless. He had explained the implications countless times and asked them to control their little sister.
But she was so out of her mind that she actually found him and got the marriage certificate. He simply didn't believe that his parents didn't know.
How could his younger sister have managed to bring someone back from that place and obtain a household registration certificate to successfully register the marriage all by herself?
He never expected that his parents would also act recklessly, showing no regard for him whatsoever.
Especially after he found out, they immediately sent the person away. Did they really think the Li family was just sitting around doing nothing?
He didn't know how the Li family viewed that person, but he felt that just by sending him to the countryside and not caring about him, they must have given up on him.
Furthermore, given that he and his benefactor are adversaries, even if he were completely brainless, he wouldn't choose him.
"Ha, Comrade Qin, my father has always praised you highly, saying you are smart and rational, but now it seems he misjudged you."
"You may not know, but my mother-in-law was recently sent back because she was tortured to the point of almost losing her life by that family."
“My grandfather and father are sending people to look for that person. I said, with his abilities, where could he go without a letter of introduction?”
"I never imagined that your Qin family had hidden him away. If you had any brains, wouldn't you have thought about why he initially looked down on your little sister, but is now willing to marry her?"
"So you're trying to use your Qin family to compete with our Li family? Now it seems your Qin family's choice is quite clear."
"Comrade Qin, you have repeatedly emphasized that you are you and your Qin family is the Qin family, but now it seems that this is not the case at all."
"If the Li family insists that person pay the price, your little sister is reluctant, and your parents are protecting him. So, you wouldn't dare to lay a hand on your own family, would you?"
"So there's no need for us to come here and apologize in a hypocritical manner. Our Li family doesn't need it, and neither do we need the one who saved your life."
Suti's words were full of sarcasm; she hadn't expected the Qin family to be so clueless.
It seems that the outcome of some things will remain unchanged. Li Ci is like that, and Wei Bowen, after many twists and turns, still marries the Qin family girl.
Suti suddenly felt quite powerless; everything had turned out the way she least wanted to see.
"Comrade Su, I can assure you that no matter what you do, I will not interfere."
Qin Lie was very embarrassed. He even thought that if he could, he would like to get rid of the Qin family.
He earned his current position step by step through his own hard work, and he has no regrets.
But now his family is dragging him down, and for the first time he feels that his parents are clueless.
"Comrade Qin, I won't keep you any longer. There are some things I won't hide from my family, and that person will definitely pay the price for what he did."
"As for what your Qin family will do, that's your business. Goodbye, and don't bother seeing me out."
Su Ti stood up and immediately told him to leave, knowing that her grandfather wouldn't let Wei Bowen off the hook.
She made the same choice.
