After exiting the Mo Xuan Club, Ling Qianqian planned to return to the magazine. She had to tell the editor that she could not complete this mission. She quickly returned to the magazine, stood in front of the editor and mulled over it for a long time. Finally, Ling Qianqian mustered up her courage and knocked on the door.
"Come in." Li Yue's clear voice sounded, and Ling Qianqian walked in: "Oh, it's Qianqian, the script was finished so quickly? Bring it here and I'll see if there's no problem with it. Your prize money will be at least six figures once it's published, but I don't think it's much for you right now. "
Seeing Li Yue's happy expression, Ling Qianqian said with difficulty: "Sister Li, I'm sorry, I can't write that script."
"Why? Ling Qianqian, the higher ups have specially pointed out a script that requires you to be the lead author, if not, do you think that such a good thing would happen to you? "Let me tell you, the authorities have already instructed you that if you are unable to write this script, you can forget about working here in the future." Li Yue looked at Ling Qianqian and roared.
Ling Qianqian felt that it was a little strange, she had just returned from selling off and did not participate in the gathering of information on Chen Nan. Logically speaking, the editor should not have given her such a good job as well. But why had the authorities appointed her to do it?
"Sorry, Sister Li. I really can't write." Ling Qianqian didn't want to tell Li Yue the reason, so she could only apologize continuously.
"Ling Qianqian, you need to know that even if you did not divulge the news, there would still be people divulging it. Why didn't you seize this opportunity? I know you're married to a rich family now, and you don't lack these two money, but this is your job. Since you're still working here, you should know your duties. Didn't you just happen to be surrounded by rumors about Chen Nan recently? Once you report this, you can clear up the scandal between you and Chen Nan. You need to consider it carefully. " Li Yue looked at Ling Qianqian with sincere eyes.
Li Yue did not know why Ling Qianqian would spread the rumours about her, but she had personally witnessed the events at the wedding between Ling Qianqian and Ou Yufan. Honestly speaking, she was also very grateful for Chen Nan stepping forward on behalf of him, but it was precisely because of this matter that the two of them were pushed to the forefront of public opinion.
Honestly speaking, if she, Li Yue, were to face this matter, she would be in a difficult situation. After all, no one wanted to repay kindness with hatred, but since this matter involved her own interests, she could only let Chen Nan down.
"Sorry, Sister Li. I really can't write this report. Other people's work is other people's business, so I'll be leaving first." Ling Qianqian bowed apologetically, turned and walked out.
"Ling Qianqian, the higher-ups have instructed me that if you can't report this, then you don't need to come to work in the future." Li Yue immediately warned Ling Qianqian when she saw that she was really going. After getting along with Ling Qianqian for a few years, she knew that Ling Qianqian was a good girl who was willing to work hard.
Ling Qianqian did not speak anymore, and returned to her seat to pack her things into a box. She took a long look at the place where she had worked for more than two years, and saw laughter and tears, and most of all, gains. She turned around and left resolutely. It seemed like she was going to look for a job.
"My name is Gong Fuxin …" His phone's ringtone sounded, Ling Qianqian placed the paper chest to the side and took out his phone to see if it was Ou Yufan calling. She sighed and picked it up. "Hello."
"Why didn't you write that story?" This was the first time Ou Yufan said this, he could tell that he was not in a good mood.
Ling Qianqian frowned, how did he know about her work? And after she'd just finished talking to the editor?
"If I don't want to write, then I won't. This is my job and I don't need to report it to you." Ling Qianqian then hung up the phone, and in the next moment, his phone rang again. It was still Ou Yufan.
Ling Qianqian who was in a bad mood picked up the call again, but before she could say anything, Ou Yufan's voice sounded out, "Ling Qianqian, who allowed you to hang up on me?"
"…" Ling Qianqian was not in a good mood. After knowing that Chen Nan had been set up by someone, she lost his job. Right now, she didn't want to argue with Ou Yufan, so she could only reply with silence.
"Are you deaf or mute? I'm talking to you. " Ou Yufan roared.
"What else do you want? "If there's nothing else, I'll be hanging up." Ling Qianqian said indifferently. She only wanted to go to the hospital to accompany her mother so she didn't have the mood to argue with him.
"I'm asking why you didn't write that story." Ou Yufan stubbornly asked.
"If you don't want to write, then don't write. Why are there so many reasons? I still have things to do, so I won't tell you. " Ling Qianqian immediately cut off the call, in order to prevent Ou Yufan from calling again, she shut down the phone. At this moment, she didn't want to think about the consequences of offending him. All she knew was that she needed to relax a little.
He took the bus directly to the hospital, just in time for his mother to wake up. Recently, his mother had been awake for less and less time. This also made Ling Qianqian even more worried, afraid that one day, her mother would continue sleeping and not wake up.
"Qianqian, you're here." Seeing Ling Qianqian coming in, Ling’s mother's weak and pale face immediately revealed a happy smile. She knew that she didn't have much time left. After living for so many years, she had long ago seen past life and death.
Ling’s mother only wanted to take a few more glances at her two daughters before she left. It was only because Ling Wanwan was still in Italy and she didn't want to affect her daughter's studies, so she specifically reminded him not to tell her about her sickness.
"Yes, Mom. Are you feeling better today?" Ling Qianqian placed the things at the side, then sat in front of Ling’s mother and pulled his mother's skinny hands, as she said heartache. She didn't tell her mother that her father had sold the house. She was afraid that her mother would be very upset. She could no longer excite her mother.
"It's much better now. I just need to see Qianqian and I'll be better." Ling’s mother looked at her daughter affectionately, and used much effort to caress her hair, "Why didn't Yu Fan come with you? Mom has always been worried about whether you should marry Yu Fan or not. Can you get used to living in such a wealthy family? You two have only known each other for a short period of time, so Mom really doesn't feel at ease with you. "
Ling Qianqian's nose twitched. The person she cared the most about in this world was her mother. The others only saw the glory of her marrying into a rich family, but no one thought of what she would have to endure. A sarcastic mother-in-law, although her father-in-law was a bit deep, he was still the best compared to the others. There were also those berserk tiger-like relatives, as well as the relationship between her and Ou Yufan that couldn't even be considered as respectful.
Her life was just for people to see. If she had a choice, she definitely wouldn't live in such a life. However, she couldn't say it out loud, as that would only make her mother worry even more. She deliberately put on a happy smile and said, "Mom, don't worry. Yufan really treats me well." Besides, his family doesn't have much of a background. Yufan and I are living alone outside, so you don't have to worry about me. "Yufan's company is quite busy, so when he's not busy in a few days, can I ask him to come and see you?
Although Ling Qianqian comforted her mother with that, she did not plan to let him come.
"That's good, that's good. Mom knows that it must be hard for Yu Fan to manage such a large company by himself. It doesn't matter if he doesn't come, what's there to look at for a sick old granny like me? As long as you're all right, and Mom's always worried that you can't cook. "To capture a man's heart, you have to grasp his stomach first. This saying is not without reason." Ling’s mother pulled Ling Qianqian's hand as if he had endless things to say.
"It's alright, Yu Fan knows that I can't cook, he doesn't care. And let me tell you, Yu Fan's cooking is especially delicious. He was the one who cooked for me these past few days, his cooking skills actually not inferior to the restaurant's head chef's. " Ling Qianqian tried her best to make her tone lighter, so that her mother wouldn't doubt him.
"Really? I really didn't think that a child like Yu Fan would be able to cook. Qianqian, you must definitely grasp the happiness in front of you. It would be best to add a man and a woman to Ou Family as soon as possible. With such a large family business like Ou Family, they would definitely be anxious to obtain an heir. This way, your status will also be guaranteed, and the child is the lubricant between the husband and wife. Sometimes, when the husband and the wife are quarrelling, the child can let the two of you get back together. " The Ling’s mother continuously warned.
"Mom, what are you talking about? Children aren't something that I can have just because I want to. When the time comes, I will naturally come. Ling Qianqian shyly lowered her head, she was suddenly shocked in her heart. She had been with Ou Yufan for such a long time that she had not taken any protective measures.
They were only contracted marriages and would have to go their separate ways after a year. What if they had children? She had felt the most deeply that a child who had grown up in a family without love could only be left with sorrow in her childhood. It seemed like she had to go and buy some contraceptives in a while.
"Then you still have to work hard. Even if men say they love you, they still want to have a child …" The Ling’s mother talked a lot more.
However, Ling Qianqian could not bear to listen any longer. Her mind was full of the matter of buying the contraceptives. The mother and daughter talked for a while before the Ling’s mother fell into a deep sleep.
Ling Qianqian covered his mother's face with the blanket, then sat there and stared blankly at his mother's face for a long time. She didn't know how long she could continue to look at his mother like this. The doctor had already declared her mother's death, and the only thing she could do now was to stay with her mother as much as possible to avoid leaving any regrets in the future.
As the sky gradually darkened, Ling Qianqian stood up and left the hospital. As she passed by a pharmacy, he mustered up heherourage and walked in, buying the pill as fast as she could. When she came out, his face was as red as a cooked prawn. This was the first time in her life that she had bought such a thing.
Ling Qianqian was aimlessly walking on the street. She really had nowhere to go right now. The house had been sold by her father, and her former classmates and friends had almost lost contact with her. Thinking about it, she was really pitiful. It was already 8, but she did not want to go back to Ou Yufan's house …
