Qi Taiguo’s safe return made Cheng Suxin very satisfied, allowing her to sleep well through the night.
And the neighbors were all aware of it. The next day, when they saw Cheng Su, they all greeted her with teasing smiles.
Only Hualing quietly pulled Cheng Su aside and asked, "So, did you ask Qi Taiguo about that woman?"
Cheng Su was taken aback. She indeed hadn’t asked about it because she forgot. Besides, Qi Taiguo had just returned and she was busy being affectionate with him, so she completely forgot about what Hualing had ntioned.
"I’m telling you, there’s no such thing as a cat that doesn’t sneak a nibble. You need to keep an eye out!" Hualing clicked her tongue and said.
Cheng Su imdiately thought of the ti when Chen Shouwang had also been seen getting into a car with a woman. With a twinkle in her eye, she joked, "If that’s the case, are you always watching Platoon Leader Chen to see if his heart wanders?"
Hualing snorted proudly and said, "Old Chen in my house wouldn’t dare have such thoughts. Besides, marrying is a blessing for him. Dare he fool around outside? I’d cut him off!"
Cheng Su covered her eyes briefly and laughed, "If such a thing really happened, would you really cut him? You wouldn’t be able to bring yourself to do it, would you?"
"If it really happened, there’s nothing more to say, divorce!" Hualing replied.
Cheng Su raised her eyebrows, wanting to say more, but ultimately kept that scene to herself.
She noticed that Hualing didn’t look very well, so she changed the topic and asked, "You don’t look well, what’s wrong?"
"It’s nothing, I just feel a bit unwell and suffocated! I won’t keep talking, I have to go to work!" Hualing hurried back to her room to change and go to work.
Cheng Su was still thinking about what Hualing had said earlier, but since Qi Taiguo had gone for training, she temporarily set it aside, planning to discuss it when he returned!
She didn’t anticipate that setting it aside would an leaving it for several days.
And Hualing never expected that what she had casually ntioned to Cheng Su in the morning would beco reality, turning into an indelible sha in her life.
Hualing looked at the haggard and fragile woman in front of her, feeling an ominous premonition rise within her.
She didn’t know her, but this woman had specifically asked to see her.
Which is why Hualing felt sothing was off, a sense of unease that weighed on her chest, intensifying the suffocation.
"Who are you? I don’t know you," Hualing asked, looking at the woman, not noticing the slight tremor in her voice.
She didn’t understand where this unease was coming from.
But instinctively, she sensed the woman before her was about to turn her life upside down, bringing earth-shattering changes.
Thus, Hualing felt increasingly uneasy, with a hint of vigilance.
The woman raised her head, tears in her eyes as she looked at Hualing, and said, "You’re really pretty. I saw you a few days ago. I heard you’re a college student, from a family of officials, raised with care, with such a respectable job and a good husband. You’re truly enviable."
Hualing slowly pressed her lips together, her eyes fixed on the woman in front of her. Her instincts told her to leave imdiately and not stand with this woman anymore, to stop listening to her.
But her feet felt like they were nailed to the ground, unable to move, as she watched the woman speak.
"You’re the head nurse, your job is respectable, even if you get divorced, you could surely find a better man to remarry. But I’m different; I have nothing, so I beg you, please let Chen Shouwang be with ." The woman, Liu Li, knelt in front of Hualing, touching her belly, and said, "My child can’t grow up without a father, I’m begging you."
