Eighties Sweetheart Wife-Chapter 622: Foreseeing the Plot You’ve Seen?
Chapter 622: Chapter 622: Foreseeing the Plot You’ve Seen?
Moreover, she had already gone beyond the call of duty by arranging for these workers to receive their back pay.
But people are greedy, and especially now when being laid off isn’t the trend.
You rashly break his "iron rice bowl", and it’s a wonder he hasn’t gone to desecrate your ancestors’ graves.
This requires a very peaceful transition process.
At the very least, the Song family’s Zhilan Garment Factory should seem more upscale than the No. 1 Garment Factory.
It also needs some support.
Now, Sister-in-law Shu, who has some prestige, would be very suitable.
Song Yunuan drove to the Shu family’s home.
The gate was tightly shut; she knocked for a long time, but no one opened it.
Since she was still in her car while knocking, a curious neighbor approached Song Yunuan, looked her up and down, and then asked if she was looking for the Shu family.
Song Yunuan nodded and asked gently, "Madam, are they not at home?"
This kind-hearted old lady said, "Shu family’s young girl, Shu Xiang, has gone to the hospital. It’s just across at the staff hospital. It seems like she accidentally fell."
Song Yunuan thanked the old lady and drove back, but then she stopped at the side of the road.
An accidental fall – it must be quite serious if the whole family went to the hospital.
The Shu family hasn’t divided their household.
Shu Xiang has a brother and a sister.
The sister is married and naturally doesn’t live with them, and then the brother’s family of four, along with Shu Xiang and the parents as well as the grandmother, all live together.
If it were a minor issue, Old Mrs. Shu, who’s in poor health, wouldn’t have gone to the hospital.
So it seems that Shu Xiang is very seriously hurt.
Although she had not met Shu Xiang, since her breakup with Gu Huaiming, it was said that she stayed at home for a few days and then went back to work.
Gu Huaiming works in the petition office while Shu Xiang is in the archives department. Gu Huaiming never mentioned anything about Shu Xiang because yesterday she even went with Huai’an to the Gu family’s home.
If there really was an issue, it must have happened today.
Song Yunuan didn’t have an opinion on Shu Xiang, whether they ended up together or not, that was Gu Huaiming’s business.
As for Shu Xiang’s hostility towards herself, once she calmed down, Mother Shu and Sister-in-law Shu would be able to persuade her.
Even with the hostility, she didn’t care.
If she was afraid of this, she wouldn’t have made it this far.
Song Yunuan turned the car around and headed straight for the staff hospital.
This also presented an opportunity.
While she was at the hospital gate, she called Uncle Xiao Dizi to have him check if there was a patient by the name of Shu Xiang at the staff hospital.
Before long, Di who worked in the pharmaceutical department called and informed Song Yunuan that there indeed was a patient named Shu Xiang at the staff hospital, who had attempted suicide by slitting her wrists. It was done in the middle of the night, but fortunately, she was found in time and saved. She was still in the hospital.
No wonder, no wonder even Old Mrs. Shu, who is in poor health, had gone to the hospital.
They had already broken up, and she hadn’t gone looking for Gu Huaiming afterwards, not even to return his stuff; she hadn’t come to ask for it either.
Wang Mengdan was in a dilemma, originally wanting to convert it into money, but she didn’t dare to. Although Gu Huaiming seems to have calmed down now, he doesn’t seem to have gotten over it yet.
She goes to the Shu family’s home to deliver money rashly, and that doesn’t seem appropriate.
This matter would just have to be put aside for now.
But even so, it was not a reason for Shu Xiang to commit suicide.
Two months had already passed, if she no longer wanted to live, it would have made sense at the time of the initial breakup.
Song Yunuan also couldn’t understand.
If it was an illness, she could have visited, but this... It didn’t seem appropriate to go.
In the end, Song Yunuan still drove away.
Yet, three days later, Shu Xiang called her, saying she wanted to see her and asking if Song Yunuan had time.
Shu Xiang’s voice on the phone was very calm, but there seemed to be something different about it.
Song Yunuan said she had time, so they arranged a place to meet.
When Song Yunuan arrived, she found Shu Xiang had lost a lot of weight, her wrist was wrapped in gauze, and she looked very pale, but her entire demeanor... it had changed.
There was a moment when Song Yunuan felt that Shu Xiang had been changed at her core.
The original Shu Xiang was gone.
So, like her, who took over this body?
Consequently, her memory included Song Yunuan, which might make her think something was amiss. "Hey, Song Yunuan, a minor expendable character, came online only to go offline immediately... This world isn’t right."
It wasn’t until Shu Xiang started talking that Song Yunuan realized she was overthinking it.
Shu Xiang said, "I have always been very jealous of you, yet I also admire you. Even after breaking up with Gu Huaiming, I’ve thought countless times, if you were in my situation, what would you do? Would you handle it even better than me? Later, I realized I was wrong. You would never find yourself in my situation. Even if Gu Huai’an had a sister, she wouldn’t dare to be so bold with you. This is a matter of personal ability. I can’t compare, I simply can’t, I should have given up a long time ago. So I went to work, striving to return to normal. My parents and my older brother and his wife all comforted me, saying it’s okay if I never marry in my entire life. Perhaps because of the hardships we endured when I was young, they always felt guilty, so they said as long as I am happy, I can do whatever I want. My little nephew even said when he grows up, he will take care of me..."
Song Yunuan and Shu Xiang were at a newly opened Western restaurant.
When Song Yunuan arrived, Shu Xiang had already ordered food and coffee.
They sat in a corner, and at this time of day the patrons were few and scattered.
It was naturally a quiet environment for a conversation.
Shu Xiang’s voice wasn’t loud either.
But Song Yunuan could hear her clearly, yet she also wondered why Shu Xiang was telling her this.
She had to admit, however, that Shu Xiang was lucky to have such a good family.
Song Yunuan said, "Your family members are really nice, truly."
Shu Xiang gave a strained smile and continued, "... I seem to have psychological issues. Despite having such a good family environment and loving relatives, I don’t cherish them. I always feel life is meaningless and constantly think about how to die."
Song Yunuan was momentarily stunned. Was this depression?
Shu Xiang: "A few days ago, I woke up in the middle of the night, suddenly not wanting to live anymore. Without thinking, I went to the kitchen, grabbed a fruit knife, then suited up, and without any hesitation, I slashed my wrist."
Song Yunuan looked at Shu Xiang.
Shu Xiang’s eyes reddened, and then tears fell.
But fright and unease surged in her eyes. She leaned forward, her voice trembling as she whispered, "...Little Nuan, while I was being rescued, I had a dream. I dreamt that I killed Gu Jiaojiao. I... I then jumped off a building and died on the spot... Gu Huai’an, he... he was holding our son and ran into the road. Both he and the child were killed by a car, driven by your older brother Song Mingbo. They were gone, and your brother also lost his memory due to a head injury..."
Shu Xiang paused, then continued sobbingly, "I dreamt my grandma passed away that day, my mother became so agitated she turned into a vegetable, my father was... was killed by street thugs, my older brother and his wife didn’t watch over my nephew and niece, both of whom were kidnapped. Gu Huai’an’s parents both fell ill. I saw Grandpa Gu’s hair turn white overnight. I even dreamt about you, you were very impressive, and you and Gu Huai’an helped find the children, treating your brother’s illness..." freeweɓnovel.cøm
Song Yunuan was stunned.
So, anyone who appeared by her side, with a name and connection, was inevitably entangled deeply?
Was this a premonition of the plot she had seen?
And there were parts she didn’t even know about!
