There was a lot of noise around, and the phone wasn't a factory landline, so Jiang Wanqing politely asked the other party.
"Hello comrade, a friend of mine is trying to contact me using this phone number. May I ask where this number is from?"
"It's a phone booth outside the hospital in Beijing. As for where your friend is, I don't know. I just happened to be here to make a call."
"Oh, okay, thank you."
Jiang Wanqing hurriedly thanked him and hung up the phone. This was actually a phone call from the hospital entrance?
Who could be calling her? Is someone injured and hospitalized, or what?
The more Jiang Wanqing thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. The branch factory manager walked in.
"Director Jiang, how is it? Have you gotten the information?"
She shook her head: "Not yet... I'll know once I go back myself."
The fact that someone could call her using the phone outside the hospital means it must be an emergency, and the person in trouble must be someone close to her. Hung Hing? Or Shen Huan?
But Hung Hing had called her that morning. Shen Huan is always cautious, so it shouldn't be that bad.
While she was feeling completely lost, she suddenly remembered what Hung Hing had told her on the phone that morning…
"Oh no!"
Could something have happened to Molly?!
That makes sense. Hung Hing is in Molly's area, so the person who called was most likely someone else, just letting her know, probably wanting her to go back quickly.
"Director Jiang, it's getting late. If you're going to go back, you should stay another day before you leave," the person in charge said.
She waved her hand and said, "No, I'll go to the station now and buy a ticket for the next train. You can handle things at the factory yourselves. See you next time."
She grabbed her things and hurried to the train station...
At the hospital, Hung Hing stayed by Molly's bedside for a long time until evening when Molly finally woke up weakly.
"What time is it now? Am I... in the hospital?"
The pungent smell of disinfectant filled her nostrils. When Molly opened her mouth, her voice was hoarse. She turned her head and glanced at the back of her hand, where a needle was still inserted. She knew she must be in the hospital.
Sure enough, Hung Hing responded the next second, placing a pillow behind her neck.
"Yes, we're at the hospital. Your parents are going home to make you some nourishing soup. They'll be there soon."
"And her?"
"who?"
“Duan Xiaowan…cough cough…” Molly patted her chest, “Didn’t she come to the hospital with us?”
“She was afraid that you would upset her, so she didn’t dare to appear in front of you. She came over after get off work, feeling very guilty, but this matter…” Hung Hing hesitated.
The pregnant woman's emotions are the most important thing right now, so he didn't dare to say anything more, and could only sigh and shake his head.
"You should rest first. We'll deal with this when you feel better."
"That child..."
"The baby is safe, but you need to be hospitalized for pregnancy preservation. Don't go to the factory during this time."
"Um."
She knew that Hong Xing was right, but she still felt depressed. As for Duan Xiaowan, she actually felt a little guilty. After all, it wasn't Duan Xiaowan who pushed her; on the contrary, she was the one who tried to shake off Duan Xiaowan's hand and fell down.
Just then, there was a knock on the ward door, and Hung Hing helped Molly tuck in the blanket.
"I'll go check; it must be Mom and Dad."
He went to open the door, only to find Qin Meng standing outside. His expression changed.
"Why is it you?"
"Comrade Hong Xing, I've come to see Molly."
Since she was already at the door, he couldn't just turn her away, so Hung Hing let her in with a cold face.
She quickly went to the bedside and placed the gifts she had brought on the table.
"Are you alright?" she asked Molly.
"It's nothing, just a minor accident."
Upon hearing this answer, Qin Meng bit her lip, sat down in the spot where Hong Xing had been sitting, and took Molly's hand.
"How could it be a minor accident? You're carrying twins now, and the consequences could be very serious if you're not careful. I heard that Duan Xiaowan almost caused you to miscarry, and yet you're still defending her?"
Qin Meng was too hasty. As soon as something happened at the factory, she learned about it from her informant, and she rushed over now because she wanted to strike while the iron was hot.
How do you know about what's going on at the factory?
It was strange that she, someone who had already left the factory, could find out about the news so quickly. Hong Xing then asked her a probing question, which made Qin Meng pause.
"I... I heard it from Shen Huan. She was also going to come see Molly, but something came up and she had to leave first."
Hung Hing frowned, exchanged a glance with Molly, and said nothing.
The atmosphere quieted down, and Qin Meng's heart raced, thinking she had given herself away.
"Did I... say something wrong?"
"No, it's getting late. I appreciate your kind gesture, but you should go back now."
Molly lost interest and quickly told them to leave. Qin Meng hurriedly opened her mouth to say what she wanted to say, but seeing Hong Xing present, she could only make one request.
"Comrade Hung Hing, I'd like to speak with Molly alone. Could you please wait outside for a moment?"
He frowned even more deeply. This person was acting so strangely today, which made him very uneasy. Molly had just escaped death, and he didn't want to leave the two of them alone to talk.
But just as he was about to refuse and refute, he saw Molly nod, which meant that he should go outside and wait.
Hung Hing gritted his teeth, walked towards the door, and reminded Molly as he closed it.
"Remember to call me if you need anything."
"Um."
The door closed, leaving only Molly and Qin Meng in the room. Molly looked up.
"Just say what you have to say."
"Hmm..." Qin Meng glanced back, as if afraid someone might suddenly come in, and cautiously asked, "Do you remember what I told you yesterday?"
"What did you say?"
"Duan Xiaowan holds a very important position in the factory now. As long as you are dealt with, she can secure your position. Besides, Jiang Wanqing isn't here, so maybe she's tacitly agreeing..."
As she spoke, she noticed Molly's expression growing increasingly grim, so she stopped abruptly, pursed her lips, and swallowed.
"It's alright, please continue."
Molly gave a forced smile, even though she was already very uncomfortable inside, she still wanted to hear what Qin Meng had to say.
"You're not angry, are you? If you don't like hearing this, I won't say it. I just meant well and wanted to remind you."
Look at her, she's clearly trying to sow discord, yet she makes it sound so high-sounding. Besides, Shen Huan is out of town today, so how did Qin Meng get involved with her? There's only one possibility: she's lying and has ulterior motives!
"I'm not angry. Are you trying to say that Wanqing is afraid to face me directly because of our relationship, so she had Duan Xiaowan do it so that she can avoid taking responsibility?"
"Yes, that's what I mean, so you know it in your heart, right?"
“Yes, I know.” Molly sneered. “I will make those who harmed me pay the price!”
"I'm relieved that you think that way. I was worried you might have had hope for them. Molly, if you're no longer staying with Jiang Wanqing, you're welcome to come find me anytime!"
