Chapter 291 Compromising for the sake of the child?
Xiao Anning fell asleep shortly after receiving the injection.
Shen Qingshu placed her on the hospital bed and pulled up the railing.
Wen Jingxi went back to get some daily necessities.
Xiao Anning will be hospitalized for at least four or five days this time.
At this moment, only Shen Qingshu and Xiao Anning remained in the ward.
Mo Bai looked away and stood guard outside the door.
Shen Qingshu looked at her daughter on the hospital bed and reached out to touch her little face.
A moment later, she turned and walked towards the door.
The door opened.
Mo Bai, who was standing at the door, immediately looked over and almost instinctively asked, "Is Xiao Anning alright?"
Shen Qingshu stood at the door, gazing at him.
She looked her over with a scrutinizing gaze.
Mo Bai suddenly became alert.
He lowered his head, adopting a respectful posture once again, "I'm sorry, Mr. Shen, I shouldn't have addressed your youngest daughter by her first name."
"Mo Bai."
"Please speak."
"You seem to care a lot about my daughter?"
Mo Bai: "...The little princess is very cute."
“There are many lovely children.” Shen Qingshu looked at him, her tone calm. “Would you care about every lovely child this much?”
Mo Bai: "...Yes."
"Oh." Shen Qingshu sneered, "Then you're quite philanthropic."
Mo Bai: "..."
"I have nothing else to do here, you can leave now."
Mo Bai: "I am your personal bodyguard. The hospital is not like home. It is more appropriate for me to stay at the hospital to protect you and your little princess."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingshu said no more.
She turned and closed the ward door.
Separated by a door, a hint of loneliness flashed in Mo Bai's eyes.
Inside the door, Shen Qingshu's back was pressed against the door panel, her heart beating a little fast.
Could it be him?
Is it really him?
But Qin Yancheng clearly said that he couldn't leave Switzerland yet...
Shen Qingshu raised her hand to cover her face.
...
Wen Jingxi ran into Jin Que at the hospital entrance.
The two greeted each other.
Jin Que looked at the suitcase in Wen Jingxi's hand and asked, "Is someone in Teacher Wen's family hospitalized?"
"Oh, it's Xiao Anning." Wen Jingxi still didn't know about the hawthorn candy, so she wasn't wary of Jin Que.
"Is Xiao Anning sick?" Jin Que frowned. "A Shu didn't call me."
Wen Jingxi laughed and said, "Please, you're a big boss now. We, Ah Shu, are afraid of hindering you from making big money, so how could we possibly keep bothering you all the time!"
This is Wen Jingxi's understanding.
But Jin Que knew perfectly well why Shen Qingshu no longer sought out Jin Que for Xiao Anning.
“That’s the problem with A-Shu,” Jin Que sighed, feigning helplessness and anger. “We’re so familiar with each other, yet she’s always so distant.”
Wen Jingxi shrugged. "That's just her personality. You see, she treats me the same way."
Take moving, for example.
Wen Jingxi advised Shen Qingshu more than once not to move.
But Shen Qingshu insisted on moving to Lijiang Villa.
Counting the days, next month will be the time for Shen Qingshu to move into her new home.
The thought of living separately in the future and not being able to play with her two little buns every day after get off work made Wen Jingxi feel quite lonely.
The two walked and talked as they headed toward the ward.
Mo Bai was waiting outside the ward when he suddenly received a phone call.
Upon hearing what the other person said, his face darkened, and he turned and walked towards the safety exit.
As soon as he stepped inside, Wen Jingxi and Jin Que came out of the elevator and headed straight for Xiao Anning's ward.
...
Wen Jingxi pushed open the ward door.
Shen Qingshu was standing by the window answering the phone when she heard the noise and turned around—
“Ah Shu, I met Dr. Jin at the gate. He heard that Xiao Anning was sick, so he came to visit her.”
Shen Qingshu hung up the phone and looked at Jin Que.
Jin Que was also looking at her.
Their eyes met.
Shen Qingshu silently gripped her phone tightly.
Jin Que smiled gently, "A-Shu, why do you look at me like that? I just came here to see if there's anything I can do to help?"
Shen Qingshu pursed her lips and said, "You must be very busy managing the company now. Xiao Anning is fine, so you don't need to make a special trip."
“I took care of Xiao Anning myself, and I know her health condition best. I know you are afraid of troubling me, but the child’s illness is the most important thing. You shouldn’t have any other concerns.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingshu fell silent.
Wen Jingxi walked to the window and touched the little girl's forehead. "It seems to have receded a bit."
"Yes, Director Lin just came over to take another look and said the situation is alright so far."
Wen Jingxi nodded, "That's good."
Jin Que asked, "Is it pneumonia?"
“Yes, bronchopneumonia,” Wen Jingxi replied.
Jin Que said, "I'll take her pulse and then prescribe some traditional Chinese medicine to apply to her acupoints; she'll recover faster."
"You're so busy every day, there's no need to bother."
"I'm not that busy." Jin Que looked at Shen Qingshu. "A-Shu, do you really think I would harm Xiao Anning?"
Shen Qingshu pursed her lips, stared at him for a while, and then said, "I have always believed that you truly love Xiao Anning."
'But you deliberately poisoned Xiao Anning.'
Shen Qingshu held back from saying the last sentence.
Wen Jingxi stood aside watching Shen Qingshu and Jin Que's conversation, feeling that something was off.
Finally, Jin Que was called away by a phone call.
After the other person said something, Jin Que's expression suddenly turned very serious. He said, "I'll be right there," and then hurriedly left.
After everyone left, Wen Jingxi finally couldn't help but ask Shen Qingshu.
"What's going on between you and Jin Que?"
Shen Qingshu raised her hand and pinched her brow, feeling that she could no longer hide it from Wen Jingxi.
She told Wen Jingxi about the hawthorn candy.
Wen Jingxi was shocked after hearing this!
"That's Jin Que!" Wen Jingxi couldn't believe it. "How could he do such a thing to Xiao Anning?"
"At first I didn't want to believe it either, but the test results showed that Jin Que had tampered with the hawthorn candy."
"But why would he want to harm Xiao Anning?"
Shen Qingshu sighed and raised her hand to her forehead. "I think he probably felt that the existence of the two children was a burden to me. He expressed his feelings to me several times, but I refused each time."
"Are you out of your mind?!" Wen Jingxi felt her worldview had been shaken again. "Just because you rejected him, he's going to harm the child? How did he become like this? I used to think he was a good person!"
Shen Qingshu was a little tired. "I was also kidnapped in Hangzhou. When I woke up, I was in Jin Que's hotel room. He said he saved me, but I always felt that something was wrong with this."
Wen Jingxi: "..."
There's no such thing as a perfect, perfectly timed thing in this world!
Jin Que is both insane and vicious!
"No wonder he's Fu Baisheng's favored son! He's really inherited Fu Baisheng's freakishness!"
“I didn’t want to tell you, afraid it would affect you, but seeing the situation today, I have no choice but to tell you. Only by letting you know the truth will you know in the future to keep the two children away from Jin Que.”
Wen Jingxi was furious at the thought that his two children had almost eaten poisoned candy.
"He can forget about ever having any contact with the two children again!"
Shen Qingshu said, "He disappeared for half a year and suddenly became the president of MQ when he came back. We have no idea what he went through during those six months."
"Do you think he turned out this way because something happened in the last six months that we don't know about?"
"This is just my guess." Shen Qingshu looked at her daughter on the hospital bed with a solemn expression. "What I'm most worried about right now is that Jin Que will continue to pester me."
Wen Jingxi stared at her, somewhat worried, "You can't compromise for the sake of the child, can you?"
Shen Qingshu pursed her lips and remained silent.
Outside the ward, Mo Bai stood there, the door ajar. He heard Shen Qingshu's voice: "Let's take it one step at a time."
