Jiang Conghe was calculating, while Lu Shufen was filled with worry. Their daughter had always been resistant to seeing a doctor. What if she refused to go?
"Old Chiang, Old Chiang, are you even listening to me?" Lu Shufen, getting no response, couldn’t help but feel extremely annoyed.
She was unlucky enough already, having just been suspended from her job; now, she had to worry about her daughter’s treatment. And there was Old Chiang, not bothering to think of a solution; really, she didn’t know how he was supposed to be a husband and a father.
"If she doesn’t want to go, tie her up and take her there. Otherwise, are we supposed to just watch her continue like this?" Jiang Conghe said impatiently.
Lu Shufen felt very wronged.
"What about her future? The whole street is talking about this!"
Jiang Conghe added, "We can deal with the future later. As long as our Chiang family is in good standing, are we afraid we won’t be able to marry off our daughter? Besides, it’s not as if the illness is incurable, and she’s not..."
He took a deep breath and said, "Keep an eye on her for me; I’m going to talk to my father-in-law!"
Seeing him leave after dropping a single sentence, Lu Shufen was seething with anger but felt helpless. All she could do was go upstairs to check on her daughter, who had locked herself in her room and hadn’t taken a step outside since their return. How could this be okay?
Chiang Qing concealed herself deep within a dark room and had a long dream.
In the dream, she was a respected military doctor. Born into a good family, countless people pursued her, but she met Qi Taiguo.
They met and knew each other, treating one another with respect. She admired him, and he appreciated her.
They were good friends. She admired him deeply yet never crossed the line, only confidantes.
He was married, and she, still unmarried, had eyes only for him.
She knew his marriage was unhappy, with both spouses polite but their feelings cold as ice. They were courteous to each other and never had children, but she had never heard Qi Taiguo talk of divorce.
Eventually, unable to bear it any longer, she began to reveal her feelings, trying to persuade him to divorce.
