Chapter 1131: Chapter 1131: Something Happened
The two entered the restaurant, found a quiet spot, and Jiang Peiqin whispered, "What kind of fate do I have? The wedding date kept getting postponed before, and now that he finally returned, the wedding date was set, but now something has gone wrong just before the wedding.
If it weren’t for my years of feelings, I would really want to just throw him away."
Xinyan’s good friend couldn’t help but feel sympathetic, but still consoled her, "There’s a saying that the good things in life take time. I believe your family’s Ling Wenhao will definitely remember your contributions and treat you a hundred times better in the future."
Jiang Peiqin sighed, "I hope your words bring good luck."
Xinyan poured her some tea and asked, "Why did you return to school at this time?"
Jiang Peiqin’s face turned even uglier as she mentioned this, "It’s because of my aunt’s sister-in-law, who always thinks I’m stealing her children’s resources. Every time she sees me, she always has something snide to say.
The wedding date I set couldn’t proceed as planned, and that gave her a chance again. If it weren’t for my uncle and cousins’ sake, I would really want to confront her."
Xinyan looked at Jiang Peiqin and felt a twinge of heartache, "Do your grandfather and uncle, and cousins know about this?"
Jiang Peiqin shook her head, "Whether it’s my grandfather, uncle, or cousins, they all love me. Even my aunt, who isn’t blood-related to me, treats me well.
I never thought of bringing these messy affairs to them. I don’t want to make things difficult for them.
Moreover, I’m afraid their choices might not align with my expectations, which would only fuel their arrogance.
This time, they not only talked about me but also dragged Ling Wenhao into it, so I couldn’t and wouldn’t let it go, and directly took action.
After leaving home, I found that there really aren’t many places I can go."
After finishing the meal, Xinyan felt uneasy about Jiang Peiqin and decided to escort her back to the dormitory since she also wanted to pick up some items.
Just as they arrived downstairs at the dormitory, they heard someone calling from behind, "Han Xinyan, there’s a phone call for you."
Xinyan glanced at Jiang Peiqin, "You go upstairs first, I’ll go take the call."
She jogged to the phone booth, "Hello, who’s calling?"
"Yanyan, it’s me, Jinxuan."
"How did you know I’m at school?"
"I called the public phone booth near the small courtyard first. They said the gate was locked, and later, I called at the shop area, Ling Tianze answered and told me you left a while ago, so I decided to try my luck."
"Tell me, what’s the reason for the call?"
"A few comrades are attending training here in Beijing these days. I want to invite them for dinner tomorrow night. Do you want to come and meet them?"
Knowing this man, he definitely hopes she’ll come, or he wouldn’t have called: "Alright, but I might be a bit late tomorrow."
Upon hearing her agreement, He Jinxuan was delighted, "I’ll come pick you up tomorrow."
Xinyan quickly stopped him, "No need, no need, you take care of them. I’ll arrive a bit later on my own."
Tomorrow, she has to join the surgery, and it’s unclear when she’ll be able to leave.
After hanging up the phone, she didn’t linger long at the dorm, retrieved her materials, and returned to the small courtyard.
The next day, after tidying herself up, Xinyan took the bus to the hospital.
She spent her weekends in the hospital, interning in the operating room with professors, never leaving early or arriving late due to any favoritism.
The professors noticed that not only was her academic performance good, but her practical ability was also impressive. Regardless of the tasks they assigned her, she completed them excellently. Hence, they started bringing her into the surgeries since the end of last month.
Another busy day passed, filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment from fellow interns. By the time she emerged from the operating room, night had fallen.
She quickly tidied herself up and went to the restaurant He Jinxuan mentioned.
Upon entering the private room, she noticed something was off with He Jinxuan.
When He Jinxuan saw Xinyan, his expression relaxed immediately. He suppressed his discomfort and introduced Xinyan to everyone.
The two had a good understanding, and Xinyan found an excuse to take him out of the private room, "Hang in there a bit longer."
