Chapter 247 Familiar Stranger



There are a lot of mosquitoes here. Even if you stand in an open area under the sun, you will be bitten by mosquitoes.

Ji Ling is most afraid of being bitten by mosquitoes, and she would scratch it every time she was bitten.

So except for the first day she arrived here, she wore a skirt. In the following days, she wore long pants and long sleeves, with only her neck and face exposed. Because people would stare at her wherever she went, and she didn't want to be treated like an animal, Ji Ling stayed in the tent most of the time.

It was her fourth day here when she saw Director Wang, a man in his fifties with a serious face, but he was very kind when speaking to Ji Ling.

"Xiao Zhu has been on the front line these days, and your family has suffered. When I heard that you were coming, I wanted to come and see you, but there were too many things to do and it was too late to finish them, so we didn't meet until today." Director Wang held Ji Ling's hand, "Comrade Xiao Ji, you have worked hard. It is because of the silent dedication of you family members behind the scenes that we can contribute to the country with confidence in the front."

Ji Ling hurriedly said that it was her duty and exchanged pleasantries with Director Wang, working herself into a sweat.

Director Wang also came to give her a message. Something had happened with Zhu Weidong. He was supposed to be back in three or four days, but he was indispensable at the scene, so it might take longer.

"I've asked someone to bring your letter to him. Xiao Zhu is very serious about his work. I guess he has to deal with things over there before coming here. You can stay here without worry. If you have any questions, just look for Xiao Feng, or Accountant Chi. She and Weidong are old classmates. By the way, you also know Xiao Chang, the new transfer here, right? You can also look for her if you have any questions."

"Director Wang, I'm sorry to trouble you."

“This is what we should do.”

At this time, someone came over and called Director Wang. Director Wang didn't say much and went to get busy.

Ji Ling had originally been looking forward to Zhu Weidong's return, but now it seems she has to wait another half a month.

However, from what Director Wang said, it can be heard that Chang Ya is going to work here forever. Her parents-in-law sent her here to prevent someone from getting the upper hand. However, this can only prevent it temporarily, not forever.

Perhaps the intention of her parents-in-law was to ask her to come over and make it clear that she was Zhu Weidong's wife?

Director Wang said during the day that Chang Ya would come over in the evening.

"Xiaoling, I'm sorry, I've been too busy these days, otherwise I would have come to see you a long time ago."

"Don't be so polite. You all have work to do, and I'm just an idler. You can come over whenever you're done with your work."

Ji Ling pulled out a chair, asked Chang Ya to sit down, and sat down beside the bed herself.

"You're not used to it here, are you? I just arrived here too, just one day earlier than you. To be honest, I still haven't gotten used to the climate here. It's so humid, hot, and sticky. I feel this way even after taking a shower. You're pregnant, so you must be feeling worse than me, right?"

"It's okay, I just don't like the heat."

"Yeah, it's so hot. The temperature over there is only about 30 degrees in the summer, but here it's over 40 degrees, like a steamer." Chang Ya said, and suddenly seemed to remember something, "Did you find a place to turn on the light on the first day you moved in? It's very hidden."

"I haven't found it yet. I'd better trouble Accountant Yechi."

Chang Ya narrowed her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth. "Yes, if you want to ask Sister Chi, I also heard it from the nurse here. She said that the lights in each tent are different, but Sister Chi is very good. She will definitely be able to find them out."

Ji Ling asked with a smile, "Is it like a spot-the-difference game? Just find the differences?"

"Yes, how long has Sister Chi been looking for you?" Chang Ya asked.

Ji Ling smiled and said, "She turned on the light as soon as she came in."

"Hey, why is this happening?"

Chang Ya hesitated to speak. She scratched her head and said, "Xiaoling, do you still remember what I said to you when I met you in the bookstore before?"

Ji Ling nodded.

Chang Ya said, "In fact, it was Sister Chi that Zhu Weidong liked back then. It was only after I came here that I found out that Sister Chi also worked here. In fact, you don't have to think too much about it. That was when they were in school. Although Sister Chi is divorced now, it won't affect you and Zhu Weidong."

"Don't think too much. In fact, I didn't dare to come here these days because I was struggling with how to explain this to you. I was afraid that I would get into trouble. It's rare for you to come here and find out that Zhu Weidong and Sister Chi are together. This will make you quarrel."

Ji Ling smiled and stared at Chang Ya, "You worry too much. Zhu Weidong is not that kind of person. Whoever he liked before was before he knew me. That's the past. How can I quarrel with him? Don't worry, I won't be so petty, and you don't have to worry about us quarreling."

At this point, Ji Ling paused and put her hand on her belly. "The baby is already more than three months old. If he has someone else in his heart and marries me, we will not have a child."

Chang Ya curled her lips, "I feel relieved that you can think this way."

"Just keep your heart in your stomach."

After Chang Ya left, Ji Ling sent her to the door with a smile on her face, and asked her to come over when she had time.

Looking at the forced smile on her face, Ji Ling straightened her back and walked into the tent.

Little guy, I don’t believe I can’t cure you.

Before trying the Bai Yueguang trick with her, first ask the baby in her belly if she agrees.

In the afternoon, Ji Ling said that her stomach was uncomfortable, and soon someone called Chang Ya over.

In the tent, Ji Ling put her hand on her belly. "Could it be fetal movement? I felt it suddenly move, and I was a little scared. If it was fetal movement, it would be fine. I was afraid that I was tired from the journey and the fetus was disturbed. This is Weidong and I's first child. If anything happens to me, I will never forgive myself."

"Xiaoling, don't force yourself. If you're upset, you need to let it out. Otherwise, it will affect the fetus."

Ji Ling shook her head, "I'm not in a bad mood. Maybe I'm just too nervous."

Chang Ya obviously didn't believe it, but she said, "That's good, take a rest first, and call me if anything happens."

"Then I'll trouble you."

"You're welcome. We are not outsiders."

Ji Ling thanked him with a smile. She didn't hesitate and tormented Chang Ya three more times after dark.

When Chang Ya was called over for the fourth time, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.

"Xiaoling, I think it's not possible. Let's hurry back to the city. This is a big deal and can't wait."

"No, let's observe for another day." Ji Ling sighed, "I'm sorry to have troubled you all day. If you are tired now, go back to sleep. I'll call you if there is anything else."

"Okay." Chang Ya gritted her teeth, forced a smile, stood up and left.
