My Lady, To Defeat Scumbags You Must Start Early-Chapter 584 - 583 Yin Qin likes Luo Xiaolang (Updated once)

Chapter 584: Chapter 583 Yin Qin likes Luo Xiaolang (Updated once)

Private hospital in the city center.

Song Zhizhi’s belly was already showing, the little one growing well inside.

Back when the accident had just happened and she had gone for a prenatal check, doctors had said that the baby was a bit small but it wasn’t serious. After nearly two months of recuperation, all of the baby’s indicators are within the normal range now.

The color in Song Zhizhi’s face has gotten much better over these two months of recovery.

The doctor said she was ready to be discharged anytime.

Yet, she didn’t leave.

Because Ji Baijian hadn’t woken up yet.

So she stayed.

The first thing she did every day upon waking up was going to see him.

Watching him still laying in bed, depending on external aid to maintain his lifeline.

His wounds were mostly healed, and where chunks of flesh were really bitten off, new flesh was slowly growing back.

He had become very thin.

Unable to eat and having to rely on external injections, they could only maintain his most basic nutrition. Lying in bed every day, his metabolism slowed down and his bodily functions were shrinking non-stop.

The doctor said, after being in a coma for 2 months, there was little chance for him to wake up.

They told her to prepare herself mentally.

In fact, she had already made all possible preparations. As long as Ji Baijian was still alive, as long as he was there in front of her, it was enough for her.

He used to always take care of her. In the future, it would be her turn to do so.

She adjusted herself emotionally to the best possible state.

She talked with him every day, shared with him about their baby, helped him clean his body and did physiotherapy for him every day.

She felt thankful that Ji Baijian was still alive. She didn’t need miracles to keep going on for every year that was to come.

The only thing she could not accept was if Ji Baijian was simply gone.

That there would be no Ji Baijian in the world anymore.

Song Zhizhi kissed Ji Baijian’s cheek.

That beautiful, handsome face had turned pale as a result of long absence from sunlight and eternal sleep. Scars left by the dog attack had further marred his appearance. His initial charm was completely absent now.

The moment she kissed his cheek and left, she deliberately told him, “Ji Baijian, do you know you’ve become ugly? Yes, very ugly. There won’t be any girls who will fancy you in the future.”

Ji Baijian wouldn’t respond to her.

Song Zhizhi had long gotten used to talking to herself.

She said, “Do you know about Qin Jingxiang? She came to see you. And do you know what astonishing thing she did after she saw you?”

Song Zhizhi spoke leisurely.

It was as if someone was really listening to her speak. Her overall demeanor was very animated.

“Qin Jingxiang actually married Jun Mingyu!” Song Zhizhi sounded surprised.

When Jun Mingyu and Qin Jingxiang came together, Song Zhizhi had a feeling that their relationship wasn’t simple.

Qin Jingxiang cried her heart out when she saw Ji Baijian. It was obvious to anyone that Qin Jingxiang’s affection for Ji Baijian was deep-rooted. Song Zhizhi even felt somewhat moved at the moment.

She used to detest Qin Jingxiang so much. But it had to be admitted that Qin Jingxiang truly loved Ji Baijian to the core.

Unrequited love for so many years, yet still persisting!

For once, Qin Jingxiang didn’t throw a tantrum at her. That day, after crying her heart out, she calmed down. She said, “Song Zhizhi, I truly, truly despised you. I always thought you didn’t deserve Ji Baijian, be it ability or the affections between you two. I always felt Ji Baijian loved you a hundred times more than you loved him. Ji Baijian didn’t deserve to become like this for you. But now… now, I hope that you can stay with him well. I hope you can return all the affections that Ji Baijian poured on you in a good way.”

Song Zhizhi looked at Qin Jingxiang.

Qin Jingxiang’s eyes were red, “I’m not letting go because Ji Baijian has become like this. Even if Ji Baijian died, I could accompany him. I just feel sorry for Ji Baijian. I just feel that if he is disappointed by you in this life, nobody else can make up for his inner sorrow. I’m doing this for Ji Baijian. That’s why I’ve decided to back out.”

Song Zhizhi nodded a bit. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

At that moment, she suddenly understood Qin Jingxiang.

Suddenly, she felt Qin Jingxiang was mighty in her and Ji Baijian’s relationship.

She couldn’t utter a word at that moment.

Because, when it came to treating Ji Baijian, she wasn’t even as worthy as Qin Jingxiang.

When Qin Jingxiang was leaving, she told Song Zhizhi, “I hope you can bring a miracle to Ji Baijian.”

She hoped so too.

That’s why she would keep waiting.

Not long after,

News of Qin Jingxiang marrying Jun Mingyu spread.

Song Zhizhi didn’t know if there were affections between them, maybe not.

But their union didn’t mean that it wasn’t good.

Jun MingYu had already ascended to the Dean’s seat. Although Leng Wanqing was dead, his underground forces were still in existence. He needed someone to help him quell internal threats. And in the whole Yanshang Country, there were only a few women who were as exceptional as Qin Jingxiang. Plus, Qin Jingxiang’s father had turned traitor and currently didn’t have much power; Jun Mingyu could take control at the right time. So, it was a wise decision for Jun Mingyu to choose Qin Jingxiang.

As for Qin Jingxiang.

Qin Jingxiang agreeing to a political marriage with Jun Mingyu, Song Zhizhi felt that the major reason was because Qin Jingxiang had completely given up on Ji Baijian, was totally willing to give them a way out. Another reason might be because she wanted to use Jun Mingyu to enable her father to get out of jail more quickly.

Anyway, the two of them were together now.

No one knew what might happen in the future.

But for now, both of them have at least managed a win-win situation on a material level.

Song Zhizhi was thinking of these things, her gaze always on Ji Baijian’s face.

She smiled lightly from the corners of her mouth, “Ji Baijian, do tell me—is the baby in my belly a boy or a girl?”

This was the question that she always asked Ji Baijian each time she was with him and was about to depart.

She was looking forward to the day when Ji Baijian would respond to her.

She stood up, silently walked away.

She returned to her own sick room.

Xin Zaozao was waiting for her in the sickroom.

Upon hearing about her accident, Xin Zaozao would come over whenever she had time to accompany her—probably out of fear that she might do something radical.

Actually not.

Before Ji Baijian dies, she wouldn’t allow herself to die so easily.

“How is Ji Baijian?” Xin Zaozao put down the work she was holding and asked her.

Xin Zaozao had already become one of the most powerful women in Yanshang Country, and she controlled the entire Xin Group and had been expanding its industry chain. The current development trend even had the momentum to surpass the Jihong Consortium.

Who could have expected that that innocent girl from before would have carved such a big world out for herself.

“He’s fine.” Song Zhizhi would always tell others and herself that Ji Baijian was okay.

Ji Baijian was still okay.

Xin Zaozao nodded slightly without asking further.

She said, “Xiaolang just came over.”

“Is he about to be discharged?” Song Zhizhi asked.

She knew she was due to be discharged from the hospital in a few days.

After a month of recovery in the hospital, Luo Xiaolang’s health was almost back to normal.

Given Luo Xiaolang’s character, she probably wouldn’t want to stay in the hospital for an extra day.

As long as she could leave, she would do so immediately.

“Yes, she said she wanted to let you know. Since you weren’t here, she said she’ll come over in a bit,” Xin Zaozao answered.

“Oh,” Song Zhizhi nodded.

“How’s the baby today? Have you felt him moving?” Xin Zaozao asked, gazing at Song Zhizhi’s pregnant belly.

She was already five months pregnant.

When Song Zhizhi first found out she was pregnant, she was quite taken aback. By the time everyone else found out, her pregnant belly was already this large.

“It feels like burbling bubbles, nothing too distinctive,” replied Song Zhizhi, somewhat exasperated.

The doctor had said that she should have been able to feel the baby moving from the fourth to fifth month, but she hadn’t felt much of anything so far.

The doctor also comforted her by saying that the first-time mothers usually feel their baby move later in their pregnancies.

“Do you know if it’s a boy or a girl?” Xin Zaozao asked excitedly.

Whenever Song Zhizhi spoke of the child, her face would light up with a different glow. “I secretly asked the doctor,” she replied.

“And?” probed Xin Zaozao curiously.

“He didn’t tell me.”

Xin Zaozao was speechless.

“I didn’t ask after that.” Song Zhizhi laughed, “To me, as long as he’s healthy, that’s all that matters.”

“Right,” Xin Zaozao nodded.

Indeed.

Compared to whether it’s a boy or a girl, being healthy is all that matters.

As the two of them continued chit-chatting,

The door to the ward was pushed open.

Luo Xiaolang appeared at the door.

“Xiaolang,” Xin Zaozao greeted cheerfully.

Luo Xiaolang smiled and said to Song Zhizhi and Xin Zaozao, “I’m being discharged.”

“Is your body all well?”

“Yes, I’m fine,” Luo Xiaolang responded.

“Well then, you should leave early. The smell of the hospital indeed isn’t very pleasant,” Song Zhizhi smiled.

“What about you?” Luo Xiaolang asked Song Zhizhi.

With an air of calmness, Song Zhizhi replied, “I’m not planning on leaving yet.”

“Are you planning to stay with Ji Baijian the entire time?”

“Yes,” Song Zhizhi nodded.

Luo Xiaolang didn’t further the conversation.

She wasn’t the type to persuade others to change their decisions. She always believed that people had their own considerations for their decisions and others should not intervene. She only asked Song Zhizhi about her plans out of friendly concern. She supported all of Song Zhizhi’s decisions.

Being candid as ever, she said, “Well, then I’ll be going first.”

“Xiaolang.” Song Zhizhi called out to her.

“Hm?”

“Take good care of yourself.”

“I know.”

“In both life and love,” Song Zhizhi added.

Luo Xiaolang seemed taken aback.

“Hold on to your love. Whether it’s for Joe, or….” Song Zhizhi hesitated, not finishing her sentence.

She didn’t know how Luo Xiaolang would react if she mentioned Yin Qin’s name again.

She only hoped that Luo Xiaolang could truly choose the life she wanted.

Understanding Song Zhizhi’s words, Luo Xiaolang simply said, “I know.”

Song Zhizhi didn’t push any further.

Xiaolang had been living in Jin City for quite some time now and had grown up a lot.

She could handle a lot of things on her own now.

“Well, then you should get discharged soon,” Song Zhizhi said, laughing.

“Mhm.”

And just like that, Luo Xiaolang left.

Xin Zaozao watched Luo Xiaolang’s retreating figure, many words left unspoken.

She turned her head to Song Zhizhi, “Is there no hope left for Luo Xiaolang and Yin Qin?”

Song Zhizhi didn’t answer.

Because she didn’t know either.

“I always thought that after everything that happened between Yin Qin and Ji Baixin, Yin Qin would have a change of heart, that he would take the initiative to get Xiaolang back.”

“While Yin Qin did have a realization, Xiaolang too had a realization.”

“But from what I see, Yin Qin genuinely likes Xiaolang.”

Song Zhizhi just smiled.

That seemed to be everyone’s thought.

But once some feelings pass by, haven’t they been missed for good?

“Actually, I’ve come to the hospital many times and have seen Yin Qin’s sedan parked in the hospital’s parking garage,” Xin Zaozao murmured.

Song Zhizhi just sat there, listening.

She was truly grateful to Xin Zaozao for frequently coming over to keep her company, for talking and chatting with her.

This was much more relaxing for her than being with Wei Ziming and Song Zhidao.

Wei Ziming was not good with words. His hospital visits were mainly composed of silent company, without much conversation.

As for Song Zhidao….

No matter what, no matter whether Song Zhidao was truly remorseful or not, there was ultimately a deep rift between them.

Song Zhidao could feel it too, which is why he didn’t come over often.

Maybe he’d visit once a week. When he did, he’d bring a lot of things for her, staying only briefly before leaving.

The relationship between the two siblings was probably too damaged to ever return to its previous state.

Even though neither of them held any resentments or bitterness towards the other, they simply couldn’t get close again!
