Chapter 1295 The Returnee's Notes 369
Because he remembered that his assistant He Ruo was acting strangely, Xie Ning went to the hospital to visit her after the test.
Since it was a work-related injury, Xie Ning not only covered her medical expenses but also provided substantial compensation, which made He Ruo feel a little embarrassed.
He Ruo is a quiet and reserved girl with a low profile in the lab. She usually does her own thing quietly and rarely asks Xie Ning questions or chats with him to build a closer relationship.
Apart from a few researchers, the rest of the people were basically recruited by Yang Hong, so Xie Ning didn't bother to find out their backgrounds. After all, she was too busy, and she just wanted to make sure there were no problems.
The hospital was filled with the smell of disinfectant. Xie Ning's gaze fell on the sealed-off window to the side. Several years ago, due to frequent accidents, the authorities required hospitals and some other places to implement window sealing management.
This requirement actually existed a long time ago, but some places didn't take it seriously until the higher authorities increased the intensity of review and penalties, at which point the protective measures were basically perfected.
Yang Hong pulled her coat tighter. She always felt that the hospital was cool. It wasn't the same kind of coolness as other places, though. The hospital was cool and damp.
Xie Ning walked straight ahead without looking to the side, pretending not to notice the approaching spirits.
It was probably recently dead, its consciousness was weak, and it was also bolder. Xie Ning could see a spirit walking towards the sunlight, but it stopped before entering the sunlight's range.
Subconscious fears keep them away from the sunlight.
Xie Ning heard the argument inside as soon as she reached the door.
At this moment, He Ruo's temples were throbbing. She had clearly injured her arm, but now she felt like her head was about to explode.
"What a terrible thing!"
My mother-in-law kept nagging beside me, occasionally sobbing or wailing, lamenting that the baby she had finally conceived was gone.
He Ruo felt a little embarrassed. She didn't know how to explain that she wasn't actually pregnant, so she could only give her husband a meaningful look.
Xiang Chaojun patted his mother, "Mom, it's okay. This pregnancy was unstable to begin with. Once Aruo is better, we'll go abroad again. The technology there is better, and I guarantee you'll be able to hold a big, healthy boy next year!"
After much persuasion, Xiang's mother finally stopped crying and handed He Ruo the chicken soup she had prepared. The soup was covered in oil, which made He Ruo feel nauseous.
"This is chicken soup that Mom got up early this morning to make. Ruo, you'd better take good care of your health."
"It was because of your weak health that you couldn't conceive before. Otherwise, how could our Xiang family still be without a member?"
Upon hearing this, Xiang Chaojun looked at He Ruo and, seeing that her expression was off, immediately raised his voice to retort, "Mom, it's clearly my health that's the problem. Don't blame A Ruo. It's because I'm useless... Luckily, A Ruo is kind and thinks of me. Otherwise, I wouldn't even have a wife now, let alone a child."
She's filial to you and earns money well. I have such a wonderful wife, and you have such a filial daughter-in-law. I don't know what good fortune I accumulated in my past lives!
He muttered a few words to his mother, then fell silent.
He Ruo's expression softened instantly.
However, she soon brought up another question to her mother, "How much did your boss compensate you for this work injury? Isn't your boss usually very generous? He should have compensated you a lot, right? Don't be so foolish as to refuse money even when offered."
Your sister needs to buy a house for her child's education, and she's having a tough time. Why don't you lend her 500,000 yuan? We're family, helping each other out is the right thing to do.
He Ruo frowned and glanced at Xiang Chaojun. "Mom, Chaojun and I have invested all the money we saved, and we can't come up with 500,000 yuan right now..."
Her work injury wasn't actually that serious, and it wasn't worth that much compensation. After all, she's generous and not stupid.
Upon hearing this, Xiang's mother smashed her bowl and started making a scene, openly and subtly criticizing Xiang Chaojun for forgetting his mother and family now that he had a wife.
A moment of warmth can only last a few minutes.
It was noisy inside, and Yang Hong, who was next to Xie Ning, naturally heard it too. "It's He Ruo's husband."
After a brief recollection, Yang Hong retrieved information about He Ruo's family background from her memory. She had conducted background checks on every assistant in her team before officially appointing them to permanent positions.
After summarizing the content of the argument between the two, Yang Hong said in a low voice, "He Ruo's husband is in poor health and cannot have children, so He Ruo's mother-in-law has been urging He Ruo to undergo IVF."
The two had a good relationship, and He Ruo didn't want to give up on the marriage. She also felt she needed a child, so she agreed. However, they haven't been able to conceive until now; she did get pregnant once, but suffered a miscarriage.
However, she remembered that He Ruo hadn't gotten pregnant during this time, which was a bit strange.
