She also has many good friends and family.
But then the dream ended.
She lay in the hospital bed, listening to the voices of her parents and other people.
“We gave birth to her and raised her, and she’s such an ingrate. She hasn’t given us anything in return. She’s spent so much of our family’s money, and now she’s saying she’s going to die.”
The mother's voice was sharp and piercing.
Strangely, in the past, when she heard such words, she would always feel sad and want to cry, or feel heartbroken.
This time, however, there was no ripple at all.
"Doctor, we choose to forgo treatment."
It was his father's voice, followed by a sigh and the heavy slam of the door shut.
Soon, another set of footsteps could be heard.
"We've found them!"
This time it was the voice of her younger brother who pushed her into the water: "That family just lost their son, they are powerful and influential. I've shown them the photos, and they consulted a master who said that the two of them are very compatible according to their birth charts and that they are willing to accept her."
Amidst the rustling sounds, Xu Ruantang's consciousness began to blur again.
She wanted to open her eyes and curse the three people in front of her who were doing harmful things in the name of family.
I slept for a very, very long time.
When she opened her eyes again, she met a pair of narrow, scarlet eyes filled with exhaustion and worry.
As soon as Xu Ruantang woke up, Ye Lan immediately jumped up and rushed out of the ward shouting.
"Doctor! Doctor! My child is awake! My child is awake!"
Xu Ruantang blinked, slowly raised her hand, and touched Chen Jiqing's stubble.
"It's not good-looking."
Her voice was dry and hoarse, and she was stunned when she opened her mouth.
Chen Ji grabbed her hand, and large tears fell into her hand without warning.
The ward was packed with people, yet so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Chen Ji silently shed tears.
The doctor arrived quickly.
Xu Ruantang stayed in the ward for half a day before she finally understood the situation.
As soon as she woke up, Chen Ji chased everyone away.
The doctor also said that I need to rest.
Where is my daughter?
Xu Ruantang asked Chen Ji countless times, and he always said, "With Mom here, it's okay."
After she regained consciousness, she met with Xiaobao.
Xiao Bao is very talkative now. He lies on the edge of the bed with his round little face and rubs his little hand against hers. "Mommy's done, the candy is gone, Mommy's back, Mommy will buy some more."
As she spoke, she took out the only piece of candy she had been saving in her pocket and handed it to Xu Ruantang.
"Mom, please."
Li Shuhe also came, along with her mother and Xiao Xixi.
And there's Wang Xiuxiu, with Lu Xiaozhao.
I didn't see Lu Shishen.
Chen Ji knew what she was thinking, so he fed her porridge and stayed by her side without leaving her for a moment.
"Lu Shishen has gone to film a movie."
Knowing she loved gossip and couldn't sit still, Chen Ji stroked her hand and told her what had happened during the days she was asleep.
After giving birth, Xu Ruantang suffered severe bleeding.
Chen Ji was right next to her and watched as her face turned pale almost instantly, his heart sinking to the bottom.
The rescue lasted all night, and blood bags filled an entire table.
There were several moments when Chen Ji was prepared—if she were gone, he would never live on alone.
Chen Ji naturally did not tell Xu Ruantang these things.
He only said, "I know you won't abandon me."
Xu Ruantang hooked his finger, "I'm fine, but I'll miss you all."
Chen Ji's eyes reddened again, and Xu Ruantang quickly changed the subject: "Why did Lu Shishen go to make a movie?"
She was curious, since she wasn't a member of the performing arts troupe.
Chen Jiyi explained that it was because of Wang Xiuxiu's words: "If you want me to forgive you, you'll have to actually act."
Lu Shishen volunteered for a military-themed project.
......
Xu Ruantang stayed in the hospital for a week, but couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to be discharged, but Chen Ji refused.
He was in the army during the day, and he would come over at night to sleep with her.
Ye Lan took her daughter home, and Chen Lin would arrange for a guard to drive her to the hospital during the day.
After the mother and daughter met briefly, Ye Lan took her back with her.
Xu Ruantang said she could support them, but no one listened to her.
"You can raise a baby anytime, but if you don't take care of yourself properly during postpartum recovery, it can lead to health problems later on!"
Godmother and Ye Lan spoke with righteous indignation.
That day, Ye Lan had just left with the child in her arms when Cheng Dan knocked on the door of the ward and came in.
Xu Ruantang's attitude towards her remained unchanged.
Cheng Dan brought over eggs and brown sugar, and after sitting for a while, she left as soon as Li Shuhe and Wang Xiuxiu arrived.
Chen Ji arrived soon.
Xu Ruantang was quite surprised, as it was only noon.
As soon as Chen Ji came in, he took the kettle and Xu Ruantang's cup and went out.
Xu Ruantang assumed he had gone to fetch water and didn't think much of it.
When she returned, her water cup had changed; it wasn't the same one as before.
The next day, Xu Ruantang heard rumors.
For some unknown reason, Cheng Dan was taken away by the military region for investigation, and she definitely can no longer work as a doctor.
Whether it will come out or not is another matter.
......
Days passed by, and Xiao Bao returned to Beijing to attend school.
Lu Xiaozhao carries her little schoolbag every day and comes to pick up Xiaobao.
Xiao Bao, however, only had eyes for his younger sister; all he talked about was "how my sister is..."
Once Xu Ruantang's health improved, Chen Ji gave her a notification letter.
It's an admission notice from a foreign art academy.
She was gone for two years.
When she returned, Chen Ji was waiting for her at the airport with her two daughters.
Also traveling with them were Wang Xiuxiu and Li Shuhe, along with their husbands and children.
The End.
