Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character's Revenge
Chapter 516 The Ex-Wife in the Historical Fiction 15
“I’m from the same village as Lu Yiheng. My name is Qi Ning.”
Wu Zhihua nodded, looking at Qi Ning's poised and confident demeanor.
"Comrade Qi Ning, thank you for coming to tell me about Comrade Lu today. Don't worry, this matter will definitely be handled well. You can go back now."
Having achieved his goal, Qi Ning didn't say anything more, simply acknowledged the request, and left.
The next day, when Qi Ning went to the hospital to find Lu Yiheng again, there was indeed a bodyguard in his ward taking care of him.
The guard, named He Dong, was assigned by Chen Wei to take care of Lu Yiheng.
At this moment, He Dong was standing in front of Lu Yiheng's hospital bed: "Comrade Lu, our chief of staff said that we will take good care of you. We can change you to a single room so that you can rest and recuperate."
Lu Yiheng refused without thinking: "No need, really no need, I think this ward is fine."
As he spoke, he glanced subconsciously towards the door.
Upon looking, he happened to see Qi Ning, who had just arrived.
Lu Yiheng immediately sat up straight: "You've come."
Qi Ning stood at the door and smiled: "Did I come at an inopportune time and interrupt your conversation?"
"Of course not," Lu Yiheng denied.
He Dong also looked at Qi Ning: "Comrade Lu, who is this?"
“She came to see me,” Lu Yiheng said.
"Oh." He Dong understood immediately. "While you two talk, I'll go get some hot water."
After saying that, he took the thermos and went out.
Qi Ning then carried the things inside: "That person is the one that Chief of Staff Wu arranged to take care of you, right?"
"Yes," Lu Yiheng said. "Thank you for finding Chief of Staff Wu for me. He arranged for someone to come over early this morning and took care of everything at the hospital. He even left someone to take care of me."
"I knew it! Go and ask them, it'll definitely be helpful. You wouldn't let me go before." Qi Ning's tone was tinged with smugness.
Lu Yiheng looked at her and smiled: "Indeed, it's all thanks to you."
Qi Ning sat down in the chair and put down what she was holding.
She glanced at the lunchbox on the bedside table and sighed softly, "Sigh, if I had known that Chief of Staff Wu would act so quickly, I wouldn't have brought anything today. It looks like you've already eaten, so I'm just taking this for nothing."
Lu Yiheng had indeed eaten, but he said, "How could I take it for free? Actually, I'm not full. I can still eat more."
"Really?" Qi Ning suppressed a laugh.
"Ah."
Lu Yiheng responded, afraid that Qi Ning wouldn't believe him, so he immediately took the lunchbox Qi Ning brought and started eating heartily.
While eating, he asked Qi Ning about the details of his visit to Wu Zhihua yesterday, and Qi Ning told him about it.
When he heard that Qi Ning had gone to stop a car, Lu Yiheng put down his lunchbox and frowned: "How could you go to stop a car? That's too dangerous. What if you get hit by a car?"
Qi Ning chuckled: "You underestimate me. I deliberately chose the right time; I definitely won't get hit by a car."
Lu Yiheng looked at Qi Ning and fell silent.
Qi Ning lowered her voice again and said, "You don't know, when I told you about this, I made sure to say it in front of a lot of people. At that time, I thought that even if he wanted to protect his own reputation, he wouldn't abandon you."
Just then, He Dong came in carrying a thermos.
Upon seeing this, Qi Ning immediately stopped talking.
She put the lunchbox back in the net bag, stood up, and said in a serious tone, "Lu Yiheng, since Comrade He is taking care of you, I'm relieved. I'll go back now. You can call me if you need anything."
Upon hearing Qi Ning's words, Lu Yiheng instantly understood what she meant.
His eyes darkened: "You're not coming back?"
"Yes, I still have to work, so I can't take time off too often."
But Qi Ning didn't rule it out completely. After a short pause, she added, "But it's not certain. Maybe I'll come to see you again when I have time. Take good care of yourself."
Lu Yiheng knew, of course, that Qi Ning had no obligation to come and see him, and that they had no relationship whatsoever.
He just felt inexplicably down, perhaps because Qi Ning was the only familiar person he knew here, or perhaps because Qi Ning had helped him a lot these past few days.
After a long while, he finally responded.
Qi Ning didn't linger. After saying goodbye to He Dong, she left decisively.
As soon as she stepped out of the hospital, she heard the system say, "Host, He Sisi fainted while working in the fields today and was taken to the clinic, where they found out she is pregnant."
"Oh? It seems He Sisi really is very fertile."
At this point, almost two months had passed since the incident of catching someone in the act of adultery, and Qi Ning had been in the city for almost a month. It was quite normal for He Sisi to find out she was pregnant at this time.
Originally, He Sisi and Gu Lixuan were caught in bed together, which was enough to make them the subject of gossip in the village. Gu's family disliked and hated He Sisi even more. No matter how much Gu Lixuan begged to marry He Sisi, his parents refused to agree.
Not only that, Gu Lixuan's parents also wanted to find him other girls, but now that his reputation is ruined, no girl is willing to marry him, and Gu Lixuan himself does not agree, so the matter has been at a stalemate.
"Now that He Sisi is pregnant, there shouldn't be any problem with their marriage, right?"
"That's right, host. After the news of He Sisi's pregnancy came out, Gu Lixuan insisted on marrying her again. Gu Lixuan's parents also softened their stance and agreed to let them get a marriage certificate, but they wouldn't hold a wedding banquet for them, saying they couldn't bear the embarrassment."
Qi Ning found it amusing. The Gu and He families had already lost all face, so what face did they have left to lose? It was the villagers who could laugh at them again.
For more than a month afterward, Qi Ning indeed did not visit Lu Yiheng at the hospital again.
At first, Lu Yiheng still held a sliver of hope, frequently looking towards the door, hoping that Qi Ning would suddenly appear like she had before, since Qi Ning had said that she would visit him if she had time.
Who knew that Qi Ning would never go there again after that?
Lu Yiheng looked at Qi Ning's phone number slip of paper countless times; he could recite the numbers by heart. However, he couldn't find a reason to make that call.
One day, when Qi Ning was checking the goods at the counter, her phone rang once. She answered it, but there was no sound on the other end, and then it hung up.
The system told her, "Host, it's Lu Yiheng. He probably wants to see you."
Qi Ning chuckled and hung up the phone: "How would I know if he didn't tell me?"
Although Qi Ning didn't visit Lu Yiheng in the hospital for the past month or so, she wasn't idle either. Besides working at this clothing store, she also used her work to thoroughly understand the situation of several clothing markets in the city, and even picked out a few potential storefronts.
During that time, Qi Yang came to the city to visit Qi Ning once, carrying large bags and small packages. Qi Ning told him about her idea of opening a shop and even took him to see those storefronts.
Qi Yang then realized that Qi Ning was not joking. Before leaving, he said he would go home and discuss it with his family.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed, and Lu Yiheng had recovered and been discharged from the hospital.
