6 Chapter 6: Discharged from hospital
Translator: 549690339
Qin Xue stayed at the hospital for a week under the care of sisters-in-law Fang Hong and Yu Xiu before she was finally discharged.
The three of them packed their things and took the research institute’s car back to the institute.
At the entrance, they could see the majestic and mysterious inscription “XX Research Institute.”
Two guards stood straight at the entrance, and when they saw the institute’s car, they gave a military salute.
Qin Xue admired the solemn aura of the institute. She had always respected these hardworking researchers in her previous life and wanted to study and work on useful research projects herself.
Qin Xue had originally intended to study for a master’s degree, but her father interfered so she could not. Later, she became an ordinary surgeon.
Qin Xue thought back then that even if she could not continue her studies, she could still work hard to make a name for herself in her chosen field. But unexpectedly, just two years after she started working, a car accident brought her here.
Now she realized she didn’t even have to worry about love or marriage; she was suddenly a mother.
The soldier driving signed them in, let Qin Xue and the others out of the car, and said, “Ladies, please take your belongings out of the car and wait here while I park the car and return to help you move them.”
“No need for that, Xiao Zhao. There isn’t much stuff anyway. We can handle it ourselves. You can just go back to your duties,” Fang Hong replied.
Qin Xue didn’t know what to say, so the three of them took their things and left the car.
Xiao Zhao saw that there wasn’t much stuff either, so he didn’t say anything else and drove off to return the car.
There were several trees surrounding the family building, where some of the women from the institute were chatting. When they saw Qin Xue and the others coming, they gathered around, and one of the women said:
“Isn’t this Chu Molin’s wife? Is she discharged from the hospital now?”
Qin Xue didn’t know who was who, so she just smiled and nodded her head, following sisters-in-law Fang Hong and Yu Xiu into the building. The other women commented:
“What’s there to be proud of? She’s just shameless. If she hadn’t plotted against Chu Molin, he would never have married her.”
“Hey, it’s her skill to rope in Mr. Chu. What’s there to be envious about? Why don’t you try some plotting too?” Su Xiaoyan didn’t like Qin Xue, but she disliked the gossipy women even more.
Even though her husband also worked under Chu Molin, she had to help Qin Xue out. After all, Qin Xue was Chu Molin’s wife.
“What do you mean, Su Xiaoyan? How can you talk like that?” Zhang Cuihua wished she could claw Su Xiaoyan’s face.
Was Su Xiaoyan trying to ruin her reputation? Everyone in the family building knew that Qin Xue had schemed against Chu Molin to get married. Now that she was being mocked by Su Xiaoyan, how could she not be angry?
“Nothing, just the literal meaning,” Su Xiaoyan wasn’t afraid of Zhang Cuihua. Both their husbands worked under Chu Molin.
Bai Jing hid behind a tree, listening to the women’s gossip.
Bai Jing’s face was twisted, her nails digging into her palm, but it couldn’t compare to the pain in her heart. She too was in love with the outstanding man.
But with Su Yun, the institute’s flower, around, she never dared to reveal her feelings for Chu Molin, fearing that Su Yun would discover her secret. After all, Su Yun was the granddaughter of the former director, while she had no family background to speak of.
People said Su Yun was gentle and kind, but only Bai Jing knew she was a venomous beauty with a ruthless heart.
Initially, Bai Jing wasn’t aware of Su Yun’s true nature until one day, after a rehearsal, everyone else had left.
Bai Jing had left too but later realized she had left something backstage. She went back to find it and was about to leave when she heard arguing in the front. She hid quietly backstage and saw Su Yun push someone off the two-meter-high stage, breaking their leg, then stood by and said:
“Who do you think you are, daring to compete with me for the role? If I don’t kill you, I’m not Su Yun.”
Later, Su Yun forcibly got someone to find the director, claiming the person had accidentally fallen off the stage and broken their leg. In the end, the injured person couldn’t dance anymore and had to quit. Bai Jing was so scared that she never dared to have any conflicts with Su Yun again, fearing she would be Su Yun’s next target.
