Chapter 122 Eager to Take Care? Fine, might as well use a free caregiver.
Reading Settings
Li Qingqing was aware of what Duan Huaichuan and Zhong Yun'er had done, but back in Shanghai, she had to rely on Duan Huaichuan and could only turn a blind eye.
Things are different now. Zhong Yun'er felt that she was a pushover who could be easily manipulated, which was wrong of her.
When Zhong Yun'er saw that there was still someone lying on the hospital bed next to Duan Huaichuan, she immediately softened her posture.
"Li Qingqing, have you misunderstood our relationship? Actually, I didn't mean anything by it. Before we got married, Huaichuan had been pursuing me for a long time. If there was really something between us, you wouldn't have had the chance to marry him. I came here today just to see some old friends. I didn't expect you to care so much."
She pretended to wipe away her tears: "If you're unhappy, I'll just never come again. But please don't let it affect your relationship. It's not worth it for me."
Jiang Fu, who was in the next bed, was Duan Huaichuan's comrade-in-arms. The two had been in the same company during the war and were also in the same dormitory at work, so they were old acquaintances.
Seeing Zhong Yun'er arrive, he could guess what was going on.
After all, it was someone else's family matter, so he couldn't say much. He originally wanted to close his eyes and pretend to be asleep, but now he couldn't bear it any longer.
What kind of nonsense is this woman spouting?
Will Duan Huaichuan really believe what she said after he wakes up?
What do you mean by a completely innocent relationship between two people?
People only become more eager to prove something when they have almost nothing.
Zhong Yun'er's provocation was quite obvious. Jiang Fu tried his best to minimize his presence, thinking that the two of them might start fighting at any time. They said that three women could put on a show, but the two women were not losing at all.
He didn't know how to persuade her.
Li Qingqing glanced at her indifferently and said meaningfully, "It seems you've forgotten what you've already done. I'm giving you face and not making things difficult for you because we're both women. But if you don't know your own limitations, don't blame me for spreading all the news about what you've done through a megaphone."
Here, Zhong Yun'er is the one who came later.
Her marriage to Duan Huaichuan is protected by law, and it's no use even if Zhong Yun'er is unwilling to acknowledge it.
Here, ruining her reputation would be an easy thing to do.
Zhong Yun'er's face turned pale, and she dared not say anything too outrageous.
She met Li Qingqing's gaze: "Qingqing, we've known each other for so long, don't you understand me? I just feel that Huaichuan was kind to me in the past, and I really can't bear to see him end up like this. You just gave birth and it wasn't easy for you, so I thought that coming to the hospital would at least help take care of you a little."
She sobbed, "I feel that everything I've done is what I should do. You two have been incredibly kind to me. If I did nothing when you were going through the most difficult time, I would be a worthless human being."
Zhong Yun'er was thinking to herself, everyone said that Duan Huaichuan was about to wake up, she just needed to put on a show here and make Duan Huaichuan think that she had been taking care of him during the time he was unconscious.
She won't have to do anything to reap the benefits.
All the credit for taking care of the patient should be attributed to her. Duan Huaichuan still has feelings for her, and if he is moved by her again, it will only be a matter of time before he divorces Li Qingqing.
Li Qingqing's face was initially a little impatient, but her eyes lit up when she heard Zhong Yun'er volunteer to take care of Duan Huaichuan.
These days, there are actually people who voluntarily come to do hard labor. It's like God sent her a savior!
This doesn't cost any money or require any benefits; if it were anyone else, Li Qingqing wouldn't feel so good about it.
"Look how big this misunderstanding is! You should have said you were here to be a caregiver. I'm really overwhelmed taking care of the baby by myself. You have no idea how stressed I've been these past few days. Since you're so kind as to help, I'll leave everything here to you. I'll take the baby back to have some milk first."
Since Zhong Yun'er likes to stay here, let her stay openly and honestly. Does she think taking care of patients is so simple?
She had to constantly check if he had woken up, keep an eye on whether the IV fluid had run out, and frequently respond to the doctor's questions.
I have to help him wash up in the morning and evening, and I also have to give him his medicine after he finishes his three meals a day.
After doing these trivial tasks for only two days, Li Qingqing was already exhausted.
Anyway, she can't get a divorce even if she doesn't sign the papers, so can Zhong Yun'er still dream of taking her place?
Li Qingqing was really about to leave with the child in her arms, which left Zhong Yun'er dumbfounded.
She just said it casually, but she didn't expect that bitch Li Qingqing would actually take it seriously.
Normally, she would have just made up some excuse to get out of it, since there were other people in the ward.
If Duan Huaichuan wakes up, and others add fuel to the fire with their stories, wouldn't the image she's worked so hard to maintain collapse?
"Li Qingqing, what do you mean by that? Are you asking me to hold the baby and take care of the patient? Duan Huaichuan is your husband, how can you say that so casually?"
Li Qingqing turned her head with some suspicion, "But didn't you take the initiative to say you wanted to repay a debt of gratitude? I just wanted to give you a chance to show off."
As she spoke, she patted Zhong Yun'er's shoulder earnestly.
“I’m really glad you have this idea. You’ve really helped me a lot. He can’t eat on his own yet, so I have to feed him some liquid food at 8 a.m., 12 p.m. and 5 p.m. every day.”
Li Qingqing went over some complicated details several times: "Oh, right, and the medicine he takes in the morning, noon, and evening are different. The medicine in the top drawer is for the morning, the medicine in the noon drawer is for the noon, and the medicine in the bottom drawer is for the evening. You absolutely cannot mix them up. Also, this medicine is a traditional Chinese medicine, so it must be brewed with 80-degree hot water. The water temperature must not exceed 80 degrees, as it will affect the efficacy of the ingredients, but it also cannot be lower than 75 degrees, as drinking medicine that is too cold will put a strain on his stomach."
Zhong Yun'er was so angry that her nostrils were practically bulging. Li Qingqing actually mistook her for a caregiver after seeing the post!
Li Qingqing turned to leave. She wasn't popular here, and Duan Huaichuan might not be grateful to her even after he woke up.
She can't spend time with her child if she wastes all her time here. If she goes back now, she can rest immediately and spend more time playing with her child.
Zhong Yun'er was so angry that she could hardly breathe; she had clearly fallen for Li Qingqing's trap.
She had just given birth not long ago, and it was already inconvenient for her to hold the baby. However, she had already said what she wanted to say, and Jiang Fu had heard it, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go ahead with it.
That cunning, damned woman!
