The nursery must be empty by now. She was just afraid that the teachers inside had left the child sowhere unattended.
Out of options, Ye Qing could only keep shouting, this ti even louder, and her voice carried a hint of desperation.
Sure enough, it attracted two nurses, one of whom still wore a cold expression and said, "I told you we can’t help you. If you keep shouting, we’ll have to report it to our superiors."
"Nurse, I’m really out of options. I’m all alone here, and it all happened so suddenly that I wasn’t prepared. There really aren’t many people around here, and it’s getting dark. Please, could you help out just this once? Would it work if I give you ten bucks as a thank you for going out of your way?"
"This..." The two nurses exchanged glances. Ten yuan was nearly half a month’s salary for them, and it wouldn’t take much effort since their shift was almost over.
"But what about the surgery paynt you haven’t made yet? How can we trust you?"
"I won’t skimp on the surgery paynt, but the money is at my house. The surgery fee will have to wait until I’m better. However, I do have ten or twenty on that I brought along when I went out," Ye Qing said as she reached into her pocket and pulled out ten yuan, showing it to them.
The initial nurse’s deanor softened considerably. She smiled at Ye Qing and said, "Which nursery is your child in? I’ll go for a run right now."
Ye Qing looked at her fawning smile and internally mocked her a bit. That’s just how people are; they follow the money.
But right now, she indeed needed soone like that to help. With a flash of determination in her eyes, she quickly put on a smile and gave them an address, also stating Hua Hua’s full na.
Just as the nurse was about to take the money with a delighted face, a man in his thirties suddenly appeared at the door. Standing beside him was a little boy, who else could it be but Hua Hua.
Seeing Hua Hua in the arms of a stranger, Ye Qing’s heart sank, and her face turned a few shades paler. "Hua Hua?"
She thought that Li Kaiying had brought people over to find her.
Over these past two months, she had co to understand Li Kaiying’s capabilities. She had no doubt that Li could find Hua Hua in such a short ti.
"Mom," Hua Hua imdiately ran into the ward, releasing the man’s hand upon seeing Ye Qing.
The two nurses, seeing that the child had returned, felt a sense of regret and silently blad themselves for not agreeing to the woman’s request sooner; it would probably have taken just a few minutes, and the ten yuan would have been theirs. Now, the money was lost to soone else.
With these thoughts, they left the ward looking gloomy, making a point to glance at the man who had "snatched" their business.
They both paused, surprised upon seeing the man’s face.
Such a handso face was marred by a deep scar, what a waste of a good face.
Ye Qing looked Hua Hua over from side to side, relieved that the child had not been mistreated, finally putting her mind at ease.
She raised her eyes to observe the gentleman at the door, about 1.8 ters tall, dressed in a newly popular suit with a neat shirt underneath. He looked very handso, certainly comparable to Han Yi and i Langchi, if not for the scar on his face.
When the man walked in, Ye Qing suddenly felt that he bore a slight resemblance to Han Yi.
"Comrade, who are you?" Judging by his deanor, he didn’t seem to be one of Li Kaiying’s n, as they were never this polite to her. She was montarily unsure.
The man stood straight by her window, looking at her calmly, and said, "Chen Haichang, that’s my na. I know you are Ye Qing, i Langchi’s current wife. I know everything about you and all about i Langchi. There’s no need to be curious about that. Up next, what I’m going to say might sound unbelievable to you. Once I finish, you’re free to decide whether to stay or go."
Ye Qing looked up at the man, unsure of his intentions, but as soon as she heard the words leave his mouth, her eyes widened with each passing second.

Lin Wan and Su Ling had now been in G City for two days. They went to one of the ports under G Province to check the situation there.
A few years back, this place was quite desolate, but now buildings were gradually going up, and many factories were sprouting nearby. Lin Wan and Su Ling found two fabric factories and Lin Wan seed to have a preference for one, the Shunchang Cloth Factory, a private enterprise. They offered a wide range of fabrics and the prices were quite reasonable, with discounts for large orders.
