Watching Song Qianqian leave, Jiang Yue turned around and apologized to the nurse next to her with a look of regret, after all, she had caused trouble for the nurse's work because of her.
The nurse was very kind and didn't blame Jiang Yue, since it wasn't Jiang Yue's fault.
Back in the ward, Jiang Yue and Quan Shuxi thanked each other.
"Xiao Xi, it's all thanks to you for calling the security guards over earlier, otherwise Song Qianqian definitely wouldn't have left so quickly."
Quan Shuxi scratched his head sheepishly, "Sister-in-law, I just ran an errand; my brother asked me to go."
Hearing Song Qianqian's tone, Lu Jingnian knew she was there to cause trouble. Before Lu Jingnian even left the ward, he had Quan Shuxi call the security guards.
Jiang Yue looked at Lu Jingnian, who smiled at her and then said to Quan Shuxi, "It's getting late, you should go home soon too, drive carefully on the road."
Quan Shuxi glanced at the time; it was indeed getting late, and his mother would worry if he didn't go back soon.
"Okay, elder brother and sister-in-law, I'll head back now."
After Quan Shuxi left, Jiang Yue tidied up the things on the table.
After cleaning the lunchbox and the thermos, Jiang Yue found that there was no hot water in the thermos. She said to Lu Jingnian, "You lie down for a while, I'll go get some hot water."
"I'll go with you."
After Lu Jingnian finished speaking, he picked up the thermos flask and didn't give Jiang Yue a chance to refuse.
Jiang Yue was both amused and exasperated.
"It's just making a kettle, I can do it myself."
“I’m not at ease,” Lu Jingnian said. “When Song Qianqian left just now, I could tell from her expression that she had other motives.”
"Oh well."
Jiang Yue nodded, and to put Lu Jingnian at ease, she obediently followed behind him.
We arrived at the water room.
Jiang Yue took the thermos from Lu Jingnian's hand and was about to go inside when Lu Jingnian stopped her.
"How……"
Before Jiang Yue could finish speaking, Lu Jingnian darted forward, grabbed someone's arm, and pulled them out from behind the door.
"Song Qianqian?"
Jiang Yue stared wide-eyed at the woman Lu Jingnian had dragged out. Lu Jingnian was right; she really hadn't left.
Lu Jingnian released his grip on Song Qianqian's arm, protecting Jiang Yue as he coldly stared at her.
Song Qianqian felt extremely wronged. With red eyes, she rubbed her arm where Lu Jingnian had just grabbed her. The battalion commander's grip was too strong; her arm felt like it was going to break.
Jiang Yue went to check on Lu Jingnian immediately. Seeing that he wasn't using his injured arm, she was relieved. Then she questioned Song Qianqian sternly.
What were you doing hiding in the washroom?
Upon hearing this, Song Qianqian didn't say anything, but knelt down in front of Jiang Yue with a "thud".
Jiang Yue was startled by her sudden action.
What are you doing?
Song Qianqian looked at Jiang Yue with teary eyes, "Jiang Yue, I was wrong, I was really wrong."
I was blinded by greed; that's why I thought of having someone cause trouble at your stall.
"Please let me go, I beg you."
"If the police really arrest me, my parents will beat me to death. Please, Jiang Yue, I'll kneel down and kowtow to you..."
Song Qianqian actually kowtowed, and her head hit the ground with a loud "thud," which even made Jiang Yue feel pain.
That's enough.
Jiang Yue immediately stopped Song Qianqian from continuing to kowtow. It wasn't that she felt sorry for Song Qianqian; she was afraid that Song Qianqian would die from the kowtow, and then she and Lu Jingnian would be the ones to suffer.
"Then will you forgive me?"
Song Qianqian asked pitifully while crying.
She really had no other choice. Jiang Yue wasn't afraid of her if she tried to force her, so this was the only option she could take.
Jiang Yue didn't answer Song Qianqian's question, but instead asked, "Does your cousin know you came to see me?"
"Know."
Song Qianqian said, "My cousin found out that I was taken away by the police for questioning, so she sent me to find you. She meant for me to cause trouble for you."
That's why I was so rude when I arrived.
For her own sake, Song Qianqian didn't hesitate to betray Zhao Lanxi.
Actually, she had already planned it out on the way here. She would first do what her cousin told her to do, and if that didn't work, she would try her own method.
When the time comes, she can sell Zhao Lanxi, which will also let Jiang Yue know her sincerity.
"Jiang Yue, I really know I was wrong. I confess that I paid people to cause trouble at your stall. It was actually my cousin's idea. I make money with her, so I can only listen to her. Jiang Yue, please forgive me this time."
I promise I'll never go against you again.
"Get up first."
Jiang Yue grabbed Song Qianqian's arm and forcefully pulled her up.
Why is Song Qianqian kneeling here the whole time? What's the point of letting people see this?
Song Qianqian also realized that Jiang Yue's failure to reject her immediately meant that her method was feasible. As long as she listened to Jiang Yue and followed her instructions, Jiang Yue might really not pursue the matter any further.
With Jiang Yue pulling her, Song Qianqian obediently stood up.
"Let's talk in the ward."
After Jiang Yue finished speaking, she went inside to fetch water.
Then he took Song Qianqian and Lu Jingnian back to the ward.
Back in the ward, before Jiang Yue could even put down the thermos, Song Qianqian's eyes reddened, and with a thud, she knelt down again.
Jiang Yue: "..."
"Jiang Yue, I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time. I'll tell you everything I know about my cousin. I promise I'll never go against you again."
Please, I really can't let the police arrest me, or my parents will definitely beat me to death.
"My parents favored boys over girls. The reason I had to work with Zhao Lanxi to earn money was because I gave all my monthly salary to my family, and I really had no money to spend."
