Chapter 572: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (11)
No matter how hard and difficult the days are, time still flies by like a white horse, and four years have passed in the blink of an eye.
However, surprisingly, Su Xiangran did not cancel her engagement with Song Chengjing in the end.
The reason is not complicated.
Just three months after Song Chengjing's accident, Su Xiangran's brother Su Yanqing returned home.
In fact, Su Yanqing and Song Chengjing can be regarded as like-minded people, but the time when they joined the organization is slightly different.
Most importantly, as a senior technical talent within the organization, Su Yanqing has more power and access to information.
Therefore, not long after he returned home, he learned that his best friend had not died.
Originally, due to organizational discipline, he should not have leaked the matter, but when he saw his sister in a daze and listless appearance all day, his heart finally softened and he decided to tell her the news.
It was precisely because of this that Su Xiangran did not cancel the engagement in the end.
However, on the surface, Su Xiangran successfully maintained her status as Song Chengjing's fiancée on the grounds that she wanted to remain faithful to him.
As for the key figure, Mr. Song, he insisted on breaking off the engagement at the beginning, but his attitude became ambiguous a year later and he never proposed to break off the engagement with the Song family again.
Even at the end, Mr. Song said to Su's parents: "This couple's feelings are pitiful and their actions are forgivable. My heart as an old man is not made of stone. Even if their fate is shallow, I have helped them to be together.
No matter what happens in the future, I will recognize this granddaughter-in-law. If the Su family is worried about the damage to their reputation, I can also bring Xiao Ran to our Song family."
After hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Su didn't know what to say for a moment. They thought that after some time, their daughter would probably change her mind. However, they never thought that four years would have passed.
Of course, the person who was most regretful was Cao Shixun. He was completely waiting to "detect the leak", but the other party began to "strictly guard against" him, so now even the chances of meeting him became very few.
Moreover, during these four years, Cao Shixun was not "idle".
Cuiqiao gave birth to a daughter as her first child. She should have been the first grandchild of the Cao family. She was raised by Xie Wanru and should have been loved very much.
But around the same time, when Cao Ce's fourth concubine He Yurong gave birth to a younger brother for Cao Shixun, he immediately felt a sense of crisis.
The two children were born at about the same age, and even their hundred-day banquets were held together. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell who was more favored by Marshal Cao.
Cao Shixun is now almost 30 years old, so in the past four years, he has been "committed" to having a son of his own.
Cuiqiao later gave birth to two more sons for Cao Shixun. Giving birth to three children in four years was not a rare frequency, but she became weaker and weaker day by day.
The reason was simple: every child she gave birth to was given to Xie Wanru.
Didn't Xie Wanru have a child of her own? Yes, but she didn't keep the child.
When Cuiqiao was seven months pregnant with a daughter, Xie Wanru became pregnant. She was quite proud of herself at first, but the child miscarried without any warning when she was six months old.
Later, because the baby was too old when she had the miscarriage, Xie Wanru was injured and it would be difficult for her to have children in the future.
When Su Xiangran learned about this, she was somewhat surprised.
After all, Xie Wanru seemed to have had the same ending in her previous life, but the only difference was that Cui Qiao, as the "accomplice" who killed the original owner in the previous life, did not become Cao Shixun's concubine.
It's just that this time she has other value to Wu Wenyue.
That day, Su Xiangran was working in the hospital as usual. Could it be that her brother Su Yanqing came to the hospital to find her?
"Xiao Ran, I need your help with something!" Su Yanqing said to his sister seriously, "A friend of mine is injured and needs medical treatment immediately, but he can't come to the hospital because of his injuries."
Su Xiangran almost immediately realized that this man was most likely shot.
Because the domestic situation has become increasingly severe in recent years, many hospitals have been planted with spies, including those from the GZ army and other forces. Once they find suspicious persons, they will immediately arrest them.
The main principle is "it is better to catch a person by mistake than to let him go", which leads to the fact that sometimes many people do not go to regular hospitals for treatment if they are injured.
As a skilled surgeon at Renxin Hospital, Su Xiangran is rarely "asked" to see patients and only occasionally comes into contact with this type of patients.
However, those who would come to Su Xiangran are not the kind of people who are too shady. After all, her uncle's identity is there!
You can't silence her, nor can you offend her. It all depends on whether she chooses to leak the secret!
Such people cannot be controlled, so even if Su Xiangran's surgical skills are excellent, there are still very few people who come to her for help.
Therefore, Su Xiangran was a little puzzled by her brother Su Yanqing's sudden action.
