Looking at Tong Xuejiao's pale face, still pale from the intense pain, Yang Qiaoqiao said with a mix of helplessness and heartache, "Sister Xuejiao, why don't you rest for a while? You can think of a name for Nannan slowly, there's no rush."
Tong Xuejiao pouted, "I want to sleep, but I'm in pain and can't."
As soon as she finished speaking, a well-dressed couple in their early fifties rushed into the ward.
"My dear girl, you scared your mother to death!" As soon as Tong's mother entered the door, she hugged Tong Xuejiao tightly, tears streaming down her face.
Tong's father's eyes also reddened when he saw Tong Xuejiao's weak and frail appearance, as if she had suffered a great torment.
However, he first expressed his gratitude to Yang Qiaoqiao, saying, "You must be Qiaoqiao, right? Nannan often mentioned you to us before."
"Thank you so much for taking care of our daughter in Sichuan Province a while ago. We also appreciate you notifying us promptly this time. Thank you."
The father held Yang Qiaoqiao's hand with deep gratitude.
Tong's mother also wiped away her tears, "Qiaoqiao, thank you so much. We should have come to Haicheng to express our gratitude."
But we've been so busy with family matters lately, so please forgive my rudeness, Uncle and Aunt.
Yang Qiaoqiao replied with a smile, "Uncle and Aunt, you are too kind. As a junior, it is my fault for not visiting you."
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Tong's mother looked at her granddaughter sleeping soundly next to Tong Xuejiao and couldn't help but shed tears again.
"Darling, what are you doing? If you don't want your family, then don't get married. Your parents are more than capable of raising you and your precious grandson. It's so hard for you to come to this rural place to give birth all by yourself!"
Tong Xuejiao made a face at Yang Qiaoqiao, then glanced at her parents and said to Yang Qiaoqiao, "That's not what they said before?"
The reason why Tong Xuejiao has been going to Sichuan Province so often these past two years, and doesn't even want to go back to Haicheng, is because as soon as she goes back to Haicheng, her parents drag her to blind dates.
She was so annoyed that she simply stayed far away.
She had complained about this to Yang Qiaoqiao more than once.
Yang Qiaoqiao looked at her with a helpless expression.
When Tong's mother heard her daughter's words, she was not angry at all. Instead, she lowered her pride and said, "It was because I was old-fashioned and didn't understand before. Now your father and I have figured it out, haven't we?"
As she spoke, Tong's mother picked up her beloved granddaughter and called to Tong's father, "My dear man, come and see our eldest granddaughter. She's so beautiful, she's just like our little girl!"
The father took his beloved granddaughter from the mother's arms and held her carefully in his arms, clearly loving her dearly.
"My dear girl, have you named your granddaughter yet?"
Tong Xuejiao immediately nodded, "Take it, let's call her Tong Pretty."
Yang Qiaoqiao: ...
She thought Tong Xuejiao had said that to ease the tension, but she didn't expect her to be serious.
The parents were also taken aback when they heard the name.
But then he said happily, "It's great that she's beautiful! Isn't our darling granddaughter really pretty?"
With Tong's parents arriving, Yang Qiaoqiao no longer needed to stay there.
After all, she still had a lot of things to do with the construction company, the transportation team, and the garment factory.
She repeated the doctor's instructions to Tong's parents before taking her leave.
When she walked out of the ward, Huo Beixiao and Yan Heqing were sitting on a bench outside the ward.
Upon seeing her, Yan Heqing was even more excited than Huo Beixiao and quickly stood up, "How are Jiaojiao and the baby now?"
Yang Qiaoqiao briefly told Yan Heqing about Tong Xuejiao and the child's situation, and then left with Huo Beixiao.
When they returned to the Friendship Building, they could see from afar that a large crowd had gathered around the entrance.
The onlookers were still gossiping, "Who is this Yang Qiaoqiao? She doesn't even care about her own mother, she's a real scoundrel."
"What if it's not that we don't want to raise them, but that we can't afford to?"
"Are you out of your mind? Anyone working in this building, even just an office worker, earns a very high salary. How could they not even be able to support their elderly mother?"
"If her daughter could work in this building, she would definitely spend less money to raise her. Who knew that she would abandon her daughter after she became successful? She has no conscience at all."
...
Yang Qiaoqiao frowned when she heard her name mentioned by the onlookers.
She subconsciously looked at Huo Beixiao.
Huo Beixiao took her hand in his large hand and squeezed it gently. "Wife, you go to the company first, I'll handle it."
Yang Qiaoqiao shook her head slightly. "Since she's coming for me, then I'll handle it."
Yang Qiaoqiao did not immediately enter the crowd, but stood on the periphery and observed the situation first.
Peng Cuiying was seen kneeling there holding up a sign.
The sign read, "Yang Qiaoqiao abandoned her biological mother; this is an outrage against humanity."
After Yang Qiaoqiao saw the sign clearly, she couldn't help but laugh in anger.
She truly didn't expect that Peng Cuiying, who had come all the way to Haicheng, would still use this trick on her.
Without hesitation, she dialed the number Jiang Yongxian had given her last time.
Although she didn't keep the phone number or try to remember it, she has always been good with numbers. After glancing at those numbers that day, she memorized them.
"Hello." Jiang Yongxian's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Jiang Yongxian, didn't you want to cooperate with me? My construction company is opening today at the Lianyi Building. Come over here, and we can discuss the details," Yang Qiaoqiao said directly, her voice devoid of emotion.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yongxian's eyes lit up with surprise. "Okay, Qiaoqiao, wait for me a moment, I'll be right there."
Just then, he got off work. Worried that if he kept Yang Qiaoqiao waiting too long, she might regret it, so he simply took a taxi to the Lianyi Building.
As people left work, the crowd grew larger and larger, but most of them were people from nearby factories who were just passing by and joining in the fun.
The people working in the Union Building are all quite respectable. When passing by, I usually just glance at them from afar and then quickly move on.
However, some people felt that Peng Cuiying kneeling there to ask her daughter for justice was damaging the image of their building, so they notified security to remove her.
As the security guards drove the crowd away, Yang Qiaoqiao, who was standing on the periphery of the crowd, was exposed.
Peng Cuiying thought she wouldn't see Yang Qiaoqiao today, but she didn't expect to see her.
Her eyes lit up, and she immediately rushed towards Yang Qiaoqiao, kneeling in front of her.
Wiping away her tears, she said, "Qiaoqiao, did you call these security guards? You can't be so heartless as to kick your mother out like this!"
Even if Mom has a million faults, she still gave birth to you. You crawled out of Mom's belly. How could you be so cruel to Mom? Waaaaah…
It's that same old line again; Yang Qiaoqiao is sick of hearing it.
However, it must be admitted that Peng Cuiying's move was indeed effective.
The eyes of the onlookers quickly turned to her, and all of them focused on Yang Qiaoqiao.
