It was too late, so the three of them drove to the hospital together.
"Sister-in-law, how did you know which hospital Shen Qingwen is in?"
Chen Ji drove, and Xu Ruantang got into the passenger seat without any hesitation.
Xu Hanli, completely bewildered, crawled into the back seat and peered out from the front seat.
"If you were a member of the Shen family, in that emergency, which hospital would you send him to?"
Chen Ji asked in a cool tone.
Xu Hanli scratched his head, his eyes instantly lighting up. "Of course, send it to whichever one is closest!"
Xu Ruantang glanced at him with a smile, raised an eyebrow, leaned back in her seat, and closed her eyes to rest.
When they arrived at the hospital, Chen Ji and Xu Ruantang waited downstairs.
After parking the car, Xu Hanli quickly ran downstairs.
Xu Ruantang still didn't open her eyes, her brows slightly furrowed.
She wasn't asleep and soon sensed someone approaching. The car window was rolled down, and the night wind blew in.
"Afraid?"
A deep voice sounded from above.
Xu Ruantang slowly opened her eyes and saw Chen Ji's magnified handsome face.
She sighed softly and answered truthfully, "A little. Who knows if Shen Qingwen will go too far?"
That person seemed unreliable and clumsy.
If it weren't for her sister's intense affection for him, Xu Ruantang wouldn't have even glanced at him; she would have preferred to find someone better for her sister.
Chen Ji chuckled, "When you came up with the idea, did you not expect this day to come?"
He casually brushed a strand of hair from Xu Ruantang's ear, twirled it in his hand, and slowly played with it.
Xu Ruantang vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
"What are you doing? Do you think I shouldn't have given Shuhe this idea?"
Chen Ji smiled slightly. "No, I just think my wife makes a lot of sense. Things that are hard to come by are cherished all the more. This time, Li Shuhe should be able to get what she wants."
Xu Ruantang always felt that there was a hint of sarcasm in Chen Ji's tone of voice.
"You mean, Shen Qingwen is alright?"
Chen Ji nodded. "Yes, don't worry."
With Chen Ji's words, Xu Ruantang's heart, which had been in turmoil, finally settled down.
As for Chen Ji's occasional sarcastic remarks, she didn't take them seriously at all, since he always managed to process them on his own.
Getting angry, being jealous, or having minor disagreements are all examples of this.
Sure enough, Xu Hanli ran back shortly afterward.
He got in the car, lay down in the back seat, waved to the person in the front, and said, "Let's go home and sleep."
Chen Ji calmly started the car and stepped on the gas, turning onto the road back to the compound.
"I asked the nurse on duty, and she said that the person had woken up, but was in a very low mood and was not cooperating with the treatment at all."
Xu Hanli remained lying in the back seat and continued, "These two have caused quite a stir for the Shen family. Shen Qingwen is half-dead, and even if the Shen family doesn't care about him, they'll have to worry about their own finances and their own stomachs. I reckon they won't be able to sit still for long and will have to come to the compound to beg Shuhe to come back."
Although the Shen family didn't care about Shen Qingwen, they couldn't just stand by and watch their precious son die.
Without Shen Qingwen, the Shen family would never survive.
The next morning, the courtyard was in an uproar.
No one knows how Shen's mother sneaked into the compound, and she brought Shen Qingwen's younger brother Shen Ergou, Shen Ergou's wife and child with her.
Several people knelt together in front of the Li family's gate, while passersby pretended not to see them.
Shen Ergou's child kept crying loudly.
Only Li's mother came out once to persuade them to go back, but Chen's mother refused, insisting that she would leave only after seeing Li Shuhe.
Mother Li stopped trying to persuade her and simply closed the door to visitors.
In fact, Li Shuhe wasn't home at all. The clothing store had just opened and they hadn't hired anyone yet, so she left before dawn.
Li Shuhe was completely focused on doing business, and she didn't go to the cultural troupe anymore.
Li's mother naturally wouldn't tell Shen's mother, as she was afraid it would affect her daughter's mood.
It wasn't until noon, when the sun was too strong, that the Shen family finally slunk away from the compound.
Before leaving, Shen's mother still made a lot of noise in front of the Li family's door, repeating the same old things like "heartless, cruel, and her son is dying."
At first, the Li family members, with their social status, would have felt ashamed, but since Li Shuhe divorced Shen Qingwen, Li's parents have come to terms with it.
What's the point of saving face compared to my daughter's happiness?
......
Xu Ruantang has been extremely busy lately.
She shuttled back and forth between clothing stores and dessert shops. Luckily, Chen Ji bought her a car, otherwise her legs would have become noticeably thinner.
When the weekend came, Xu Ruantang went to Gao Baoliang's house to pick up Xiaobao as usual.
Everyone had a tacit understanding that Xiaoying and Xiaobao would usually wait for her at home at this time.
But today, Xu Ruantang knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered.
It was the neighbor who told her that the Gao family had gone to the hospital early in the morning.
It's estimated that Xiao Ying is about to give birth.
Xu Ruantang didn't know which hospital they had gone to, so she had to go back to the clothing store.
Chen Ji came over in the evening.
As soon as he entered the store, he asked Xu Ruantang to go home with him.
"Gao Baoliang called the military unit to report that his wife had given birth and both mother and daughter were safe."
When the two returned home, Chen Ji followed Xu Ruantang upstairs to change clothes.
Now, he usually wears casual clothes when he goes out.
Most of Chen Ji's clothes were made by Xu Ruantang's godmother, and they were styles that couldn't be found elsewhere, and they even matched Xu Ruantang's clothes.
Chen Ji liked it very much, and he would always wait for her to change into her clothes before he would change into something that matched hers.
Xu Ruantang pretended not to know about these subtle, ulterior motives.
I even found him kind of cute.
Having just given birth, Gao Baoliang was definitely focused on Xiao Ying and her daughter.
Xiao Bao was left unattended at the hospital, so the two of them went to pick him up.
Upon arriving at the hospital, the two first met Gao Baoliang.
Gao Baoliang hurried over, "Commander, sister-in-law, Xiaobao is in the ward."
Gao Baoliang still habitually called Chen Ji that way, and Chen Ji didn't correct him, letting him call him that.
"good."
Chen Ji nodded. "Do you need any help?"
Gao Baoliang waved the form in his hand, wiping the sweat from his brow, and said, "No need. The doctor said the baby's labor was a bit long and he needs to stay in the hospital for observation. I'll go pay the bill. I'll have to trouble the commander and his wife to take care of the baby."
Xu Ruantang stepped forward and handed him a pre-wrapped red envelope. "Congratulations! Chen Ji and I will take Xiaobao back, so don't worry about it."
Gao Baoliang refused to accept the red envelope; it was Chen Ji who insisted on giving it to him.
Xiao Ying was still sleeping in the ward.
Chen Ji didn't go in, but Xu Ruantang went in and came out with Xiao Bao.
Xiao Bao walks with a bouncy gait, a cute smile on his face, and when he sees Chen Ji, he reaches out for a hug.
Chen Ji picked her up and asked softly, "Xiao Bao, do you like your little sister?"
Xiao Bao nodded without hesitation, "Yes!"
"Then, Dad and Mom, have another little brother or sister?"
It was rare for Chen Ji to joke, and when he said this, his tone became gentle.
Xiao Bao blinked his big eyes, looked at Chen Ji, then turned to look at Xu Ruantang, and quickly smiled: "Okay."
