"Your father-in-law and mother-in-law went back?" Sister Guo snapped out of her thoughts and saw Li Zi beaming. The more she interacted with Sheng Ning, the more she couldn’t help but like her. She’s considerate, polite, and completely unpretentious. Her filial piety towards her parents-in-law and the harmonious relationship they share make her even more endearing.
You can tell a person’s character and whether they’re genuinely filial from how they interact with their mother-in-law.
People like them, who are in their forties and about to marry off their sons, especially like soone like Sheng Ning.
"Yeah, we’ve already sent them back."
"What about your sister?"
"My friend took her out to play." When they were about to part, Chen Huaying stubbornly held onto An’an, insisting on taking her to school for a preview. She assured she’ll stay at her place for the night, so I wouldn’t worry.
An’an wanted to go herself, so she left with them.
"Your friend is really nice," Sister Guo praised.
"By the way, did Captain Xu take his dicine today?" Sheng Ning calls Xu Qigang ’Captain Xu’ in front of the dical staff.
"He did. They’re having a eting inside! Captain Xu is quite busy today," Sister Guo said with a hint of grievance. "You see, this patient is unlike any other, making our dical staff feel less like dical professionals."
Sheng Ning couldn’t help but want to laugh but feared upsetting Sister Guo, so she suppressed it forcefully, "Sorry for the trouble!"
"Trouble indeed! Seriously, I’ve never seen a patient who behaves so little like a patient, it’s truly eye-opening," Sister Guo muttered under her breath, "Today, people going in and out of Captain Xu’s room are more than usual, and none of them are easy to handle."
Sister Guo gestured with her hands in the air, "From what I can tell, they all seem like they’ve seen blood."
Before Xu Qigang was admitted, he had a reputation for being brave, honest, and straightforward, though not very expressive. But once he arrived, the perception shifted drastically—to rebellious, bandit-like, cold, and fiercely intimidating...
The change was too drastic. Previously, so young girls sched to be transferred here, but after Jiang Yao was driven away, no one dared co anymore.
Sheng Ning furrowed her brows, rembering the knife Living Yama kept under his pillow, and felt a strong sense of foreboding. And this bad feeling was intensifying,
"Sister Guo, are you on duty tonight?"
"Yeah!"
"Then you sleep in the duty room tonight..." Before she could finish her sentence, Shen Feihu erged with a large group from Xu Qigang’s room. Sheng Ning was stunned, wondering how so many big guys managed to sit inside?
Have they turned the ward into a conference room?
"Go, arrange the discharge procedures for Qigang." Shen Feihu instructed Xiao Tao.
"Yes, President." Xiao Tao quickly ran out.
"Hello, President."
"Comrade Sheng Ning is back!" Shen Feihu greeted cheerfully.
"President, why such a sudden discharge?"
"Uh... nothing much, it’s just that he’s almost recovered. Thought we shouldn’t take up state resources, won’t die anyway."
The people behind him were speechless, President, if you have nothing to say, you can choose not to speak.
Sheng Ning’s mouth twitched, deciding to pretend she hadn’t heard anything.
Everyone stopped at the door for a few minutes, and Xiao Tao quickly returned.
"President, the procedures are done, he can be discharged tomorrow."
"Great! I just heard that Guo Siming finds the Captain boring, so we’ll give him sothing to do."
Sister Guo cast a sidelong glance at Shen Feihu, wondering if it’s really okay for him to speak about her nephew like this right in front of her?
