The following day, Xu Tingchuan and Ni Sitian went to the hospital to see Jin Rulan.
Jin Rulan's emotions were relatively stable. She probably felt that this child shouldn't have come. She hadn't wanted to have a child at her age, but since it happened unexpectedly, she could only accept the pregnancy.
She miscarried just a few days after finding out she was pregnant. It was a bit upsetting, but not unbearable. After all, she already had two grown children and was about to have grandchildren.
If she hadn't miscarried, she wouldn't know how to explain to her grandchildren why her uncle or aunt was younger than them. Just thinking about that scene is quite awkward.
Xu Haicheng, on the other hand, had tears in his eyes at the hospital bedside yesterday, as if he was very sad about losing his son in his old age.
This was the first time she had seen him like this in all these years. When he was young, he was always full of vigor and ambition. But as he rose through the ranks and gained more power, he became more refined and composed.
Yesterday, his appearance seemed to reveal a vulnerability within him.
Sigh, after all, we've lost a child.
"Sitian, you're 21 weeks along, right?" Jin Rulan looked at Ni Sitian's belly and reached out to touch it.
"Hmm." Ni Sitian nodded slightly, relieved to see that she wasn't moved by the scene.
"Have you thought of a name yet?" Jin Rulan remembered that just a few days ago, when she found out she was pregnant, Xu Haicheng was already flipping through the dictionary to think of a name. Now it seemed like a long time ago.
“Tingchuan has been thinking about it and hasn’t come up with a name yet. I told him he’s nervous,” Ni Sitian said with a smile. Xu Tingchuan had already dug up the Book of Songs and the Chu Ci, and was being very careful. He had come up with no less than a hundred names, but then rejected them one by one, so he still hadn’t decided on one.
Jin Rulan smiled upon hearing this. It was normal for the young couple to be particularly attentive to their first child. When she was pregnant with Tingchuan, Xu Haicheng did the same thing, but in the end, Tingchuan's name was chosen by his grandfather.
They've been through this before, so they won't interfere with Tingchuan and Sitian's naming of the child.
"What are you chatting about that makes you so happy?" Xu Jiayue asked with a smile as she peeked in from outside.
Ni Sitian and Xu Tingchuan spent the morning with Jin Rulan at the hospital, and then went to Guanghua Road in the afternoon.
This pharmacy is small; you can see the whole thing from the inside out. There are four employees, each standing behind a counter.
Ni Sitian looked around and shook her head at Xu Tingchuan: "No, she's too fat."
Xu Tingchuan then led Ni Sitian over to inquire, describing the woman's appearance to the pharmacist behind the counter.
To Ni Sitian's great surprise, it turned out to be Ji Xiaoyun!
She had completely forgotten about this person's existence. Back then, the person who tripped her up at the magazine, was later cornered and beaten up by the editor-in-chief's wife at the hospital. After that, she never saw Ji Xiaoyun again. She later heard from others that she had returned to her hometown.
It was her! It could have been her!
"She seems to be the boss's distant niece, but she only worked here for half a month before leaving," the counter staff added.
Ni Sitian frowned and glanced at Xu Tingchuan, who then asked the counter if they had any contact information.
When Ni Sitian finally walked out of the pharmacy, she was completely tense. It turned out that she was the one who had harmed her mother-in-law's child, and Ji Xiaoyun was after her!
How could she have been so careless as not to recognize Ji Xiaoyun? If she had known, she definitely wouldn't have used the things she received from her, nor would she have given them to Jin Rulan.
It was her carelessness that almost killed her own baby and indirectly caused the death of her mother-in-law's unborn child.
