Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character's Revenge
Chapter 529 The Ex-Wife in the Historical Fiction 28
"What did you say?"
Gu Lixuan thought he had misheard.
He Sisi continued, "We don't know anyone else in the city, only them. If we apologize to them, they might forgive us, especially Aning. She's a soft-hearted person and might help us out of consideration for our past relationship."
Upon hearing this, Gu Lixuan's expression changed drastically: "How can we go to them? Do you think they will help us? I would rather go back to the village and farm than bow down to them!"
After Gu Lixuan finished speaking, he slammed the door and left, leaving He Sisi with several crying children in their rented small house.
He Sisi held her crying youngest son, her face turning pale.
Gu Lixuan keeps saying he wants to go back to the village, but He Sisi doesn't want to go back to the village.
She really didn't want to go back to face Gu Lixuan's parents, nor did she want to face the villagers' ridicule.
Moreover, she still wants to find her biological father, so it's impossible for her to just go back to the village like this.
But all she knew was her biological father's name; she knew nothing else. Where could she possibly look for him?
The only people He Sisi could think of were Qi Ning and Lu Yiheng.
She knew that if she went to find Lu Yiheng, Gu Lixuan would definitely argue with her again. On the other hand, Qi Ning was probably easier to talk to, and Gu Lixuan wouldn't mind too much.
He Sisi hesitated, wondering whether she should go find Qi Ning.
At the same time, after learning about Gu Lixuan and He Sisi's situation from the system, Qi Ning felt that the time was about right.
She didn't want things to drag on and didn't have time to watch the family slowly run into obstacles in the city, so she had someone reveal to He Sisi which hospital she was in.
Sure enough, on this day, He Sisi entrusted her two younger children to the care of her neighbors and brought her eldest daughter to the hospital.
"Host, He Sisi really came to see you. She doesn't know which department you're in and doesn't dare to ask. Right now, she's lingering at the hospital entrance with her daughter."
"understood."
Qi Ning curled her lips into a smile, picked up the landline on her desk, and made a call.
When it was time to leave work, Qi Ning arrived at the hospital entrance first, looking around as if waiting for someone.
He Sisi waited with her daughter at the hospital entrance for most of the day. She was about to give up and leave when she happened to see Qi Ning appear at the hospital entrance.
Her eyes lit up, and she immediately took her daughter's hand and went to greet them.
"Aning!"
Qi Ning looked over upon hearing the voice and feigned surprise, saying, "He Sisi, what are you doing here?"
Standing in front of Qi Ning, He Sisi looked at her glamorous appearance and then down at her own old and unfashionable clothes. She felt inferior and completely at a loss.
“Ah Ning, I... Li Xuan and I went to the city a while ago. My daughter has a bit of a cold today, so I brought her to the hospital to get checked out. I’ve heard that you’re a doctor in the city, but I didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence that I actually ran into you.”
He Sisi lied and didn't say that she came specifically to see Qi Ning.
Qi Ning didn't expose him: "Oh, I see."
“Yes.” He Sisi pulled her daughter along. “Quick, Niannian, call her Auntie.”
Gu Nian looked at Qi Ning and timidly called out, "Auntie."
Qi Ning glanced at the child but didn't say anything, only grunted and asked, "How is the child? Is he alright?"
"It's nothing, just a minor cold," He Sisi quickly replied.
He Sisi observed Qi Ning's reaction and saw that although her attitude was somewhat cold, she did not dislike her as much as she had imagined. She even asked about the child's condition with concern, which showed that Qi Ning probably did not care too much about the past.
This gave He Sisi a sense of confidence.
"Ah Ning, what are you doing here?"
"We're waiting for you," Qi Ning said calmly. "Since you're all alright, why aren't you leaving?"
"Are you waiting for someone? Then I'll wait with you."
He Sisi showed no intention of leaving. She had come specifically to find Qi Ning, and now that she had a chance to talk, she certainly wouldn't miss it.
"It's been a long time since I've seen you. How have you been in the city these past few years? Are you doing well?"
"I'm perfectly fine," Qi Ning replied succinctly.
"That's good." He Sisi pursed her lips. "A Ning, we were sorry for what happened between Li Xuan and me back then. I never had a chance to apologize to you after that. Now that I see you're doing well, I'm at ease."
Qi Ning looked at He Sisi with a half-smile: "He Sisi, just say what you want to say. You don't need to say these fake polite words in front of me."
He Sisi's face stiffened, and she realized that Qi Ning had seen through her.
"I……"
"If you don't want to talk, then hurry up and leave."
"No, no, no, I did come to see you because I have something to discuss."
He Sisi gripped the hem of her dress tightly, and said with difficulty, "After Lixuan and I came to the city, he couldn't find a proper job. We also have three children to take care of, and we really can't make ends meet anymore."
“Ah Ning, I know you are a magnanimous person and you certainly won’t hold a grudge about the past. I heard that you and Lu Yiheng both have good jobs in the city. Could you, could you please help us think of a solution?”
As He Sisi spoke, her voice grew softer and softer, and she looked at Qi Ning with hopeful eyes.
But Qi Ning burst out laughing.
"He Sisi, you guys are really shameless to come to me for help. Who said I don't mind what happened before? Stop flattering me. If you can't make it in the city, you should go back to the village as soon as possible, so that your children don't suffer with you."
"Aning..."
He Sisi's eyes instantly reddened upon hearing Qi Ning's words.
"What? You think what you did in the past is too shameful, and you can't stand being pointed at and talked about in the village, so you want to stay in the city and never leave?" Qi Ning said sarcastically.
He Sisi bit her lip, feeling so embarrassed she wanted to disappear into the ground.
Qi Ning was right; those were indeed the reasons she didn't want to go back to the village, but she was reluctant to admit it.
He Sisi shook her head: "It's not just that. I want to stay in the city. It's not just that."
“Ah Ning, you know, I’ve never had a father since I was little. Before my mother passed away, she told me that my father was from the city and that I must find him someday.”
"I'm not leaving the city because I want to find my father and fulfill my mother's wish, but the city is too big, and it's just too difficult to find someone."
He Sisi suddenly grabbed Qi Ning's hand.
"Ah Ning, I know we've wronged you. Asking you to help us find jobs is too much trouble for you, and I'm too embarrassed to do it. You don't have to help us, but you know a lot of people in the city. Could you please ask around for my father?"
