Chapter 8: A man of integrity is not afraid of his own shadow

After being discharged from the hospital, Xiao's mother returned to the ward, followed by a tall man.

His facial features are somewhat similar to those of Xiao Qingru, with a face as sharp as a knife and a righteous demeanor. He is Xiao Huaishu.

Fengchen Pupu had a tired look on his face, and it was obvious that he had just returned from a mission.

After measuring Xiao Qingru, Xiao Huaishu asked with concern: "Little sister, are you okay? Does the incision hurt?"

Xiao Qingru blinked and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore. I can eat and sleep well. I'm fine."

How can surgery be painless?

My sister has been spoiled since she was young, and this is probably the biggest sin she has ever suffered.

He patted Xiao Qingru's head and said, "When you can eat normally, I will get you a fish to replenish your body."

"It's a deal. You can't lie to me."

Xiao Huaishu smiled and said, "I can fool anyone but you. You are my biological sister."

"Okay, okay, don't be so rude. You take care of the things, and I'll help Qingru."

"Why don't I carry her? It's quite a distance from here to the hospital entrance. It's so tiring to walk."

Xiao's mother said in disgust, "Don't do that. You are so clumsy and it will be bad if you rub her wound."

"Brother, my legs are not injured, but I can walk on my own."

She gave him a thumbs up, "Not bad, you didn't cry this time and you are still so strong. You are worthy of being my sister, Xiao Huaishu."

Xiao Qingru: “…”

Why does it seem like she is a fragile flower?

"go home."

Xiao Huaishu was carrying his luggage, weighing it, and jokingly said, "Are you moving your entire home here?"

"If possible, I really want to move my family here. You have never been hospitalized, so you don't know how inconvenient it is to be in the hospital."

"Should I find a chance to experience it?"

"Why do you have a crow's mouth, kid?"

"What crow beak? Let's get scientific."

"Shut up."

Xiao Qingru smiled with her lips pursed, and the gloom brought by Jiangchuan and Du Wanqiu was swept away.

Although she doesn't have a childhood sweetheart, she still loves her family.

People should learn to be content!

Seeing her smile, Xiao Huaishu and his mother looked at each other, and they both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

The family left the ward while talking.

Seeing Jiang Chuan and Du Wanqiu at the hospital gate, Xiao Huaishu bit his cheeks and cursed secretly.

꿛I feel itchy all of a sudden. What's going on?

Putting the luggage into the trunk, Jiang Chuan's sight was full of danger.

Fighting is a punishment. Xiao Qingru knew that her brother was the most protective of his shortcomings, so she quickly pulled his arm and said, "Brother, let's go home. Don't make mistakes for someone who is not worth it."

The three words "not worth it" were like a sharp blade, piercing straight into Jiang Chuan's heart.

The arm holding the child stiffened for a moment, perhaps because it sensed discomfort, and the child started crying loudly.

“Wow wow wow~”

The crying woke up Jiang Chuan, he could only comfort the child first, "Did it hurt you?"

“Wow wow wow~”

The louder the child cried, the more anxious Jiang Chuan became.

Du Wanqiu, who was standing beside him, instructed him to adjust his posture and shook his arms, and then he slowly coaxed the child into silence.

Xiao Huaishu was so furious that if his sister hadn't stopped him, he would have punched Jiang Chuan.

He said unhappily: "I don't know if you still think he is the father of the child."

"It has nothing to do with us. Don't be angry. It's not good for your health if you get angry."

"You...he..."

Xiao Qingru didn't even glance at Jiang Chuan, and said calmly: "We have reached an agreement that we will no longer be an engaged couple. Brother, don't interfere in other people's affairs."

This is such great news!

Xiao Huaishu couldn't help laughing, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything. We won't do anything like the dog trying to catch the rat."

Although the hospital was not far from home, Xiao Huaishu drove his father over to make his sister feel more at ease.

He opened the car door and said, "Let's get in the car."

"Um."

Xiao Qingru lowered her head and got into the car, followed closely by Xiao's mother. From beginning to end, they never looked at Jiang Chuan even once.

This was the first time that Xiao Qingru bluntly expressed her dissatisfaction. Jiang Chuan was very upset and always felt that things should not develop in this way.

Watching the car going away, Du Wanqiu's eyes were almost filled with jealousy.

Why is Xiao Qingru so lucky, with a good family background, a loving family, and a decent job...

She has so many things, what difference does it make if she loses one thing?

Jiang Chuan was still looking at the direction the car was leaving when his sleeve was suddenly pulled. "Comrade Jiang, let's go back too."

A soft and fragile voice pulled Jiangchuan back to his senses and asked quickly, "Can you leave? Or should I go home and ride my bike to pick you up?"

"You can go." Du Wanqiu smiled bitterly, "But I'll have to trouble you to help me."

Jiang Chuan understood and stretched out his arm for Du Wanqiu to grab.

"Comrade Jiang, will this affect your future?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Comrade Xiao mentioned the problem of work style today. I am a little worried. If it is inconvenient for you, then don't interfere in our mother-son affairs in the future."

Jiang Chuan thought that Qing Ru still cared about him.

Her anger at Du Wanqiu was not entirely blind jealousy.

Thinking of this, he felt better. This was the Qingru he knew.

Qingyi cleared her throat and said, "Special situations require special treatment. You just gave birth to a child and are weak, so I'm helping you. This is just human nature. Now we need evidence for everything we say and do, and we can't take things based on hearsay as the truth."

"If a few gossips can determine a person's future, then those people should just stop doing anything else and spend the whole day bickering."

Jiang Chuan thought that every time he came into contact with Du Wanqiu, it was in public. Even when he went to her house to deliver something, he stood at the door. He had never crossed the line and could withstand the scrutiny of the crowd.

If anyone wants to use this to attack him, they are wrong.

"No matter what others say, as long as we act uprightly and keep our integrity, there is nothing to worry about."

Du Wanqiu smiled and said, "Comrade Jiang, you are still open-minded. I will strive to be like you."

"Girls like you are more thoughtful, so you care more about what others think, just like Qingru..."

I've read this name countless times, but it feels a little awkward to say it now.

Jiang Chuan simply shut up.

I couldn't help but think of what she had just said and her nonchalant attitude when she said it.

Is she really angry?

He just wanted to separate temporarily to give her some time to calm down, and he never really wanted to break off the engagement.

Frowning irritably, how could Qingru tell others about the broken engagement?

In this way, it will not be so easy to repair it later.

Du Wanqiu held Jiang Chuan's arm tightly and walked towards the house step by step, with unknown confusion in her eyes.

She doesn't want to go back home. Who else can help her except Jiangchuan?

No.

She can rely on him.

Whether for herself or for her children, she has to stay here.

The confusion in his eyes faded away, and Du Wanqiu knew what he should do.
