Bird's nest, sea cucumber.
All dried goods, a whole box full.
Heavens, these are all expensive premium bird's nest and dried sea cucumber, abalone, and so on.
Don't look at it as just a few boxes, these must cost a lot of money.
But…
Isn't Su Qi Huo Tingyun's wife?
Why is Xu Linchuan so warm-hearted?
Alas!
It seems like another devoted lover.
Gu Tangxue put away these nutritional supplements, put them in the refrigerator, and prepared some to cook. When Su Qi woke up, she could eat them.
Su Qi woke up just in time for dinner.
She hadn't slept so peacefully in a long time, and for once, she didn't have nightmares.
Before she even opened her eyes, she smelled the aroma wafting from the kitchen.
"You're awake, it's time to eat. Come and try!"
Gu Tangxue called out. Su Qi got up and walked over, seeing a table full of dishes, including sea cucumber and abalone.
"Did you get paid?"
"Yes, I specifically bought some supplements!"
Xu Linchuan had told her not to tell Su Qi.
Gu Tangxue could only resort to a white lie.
"Is that so?" Su Qi nodded and took a sip of soup. "I'll give you money for groceries; it's not right to always make you buy the food."
"Don't be so polite." Ever since that incident, Gu Tangxue had treated Su Qi like a sister.
How could she accept money from Su Qi?
After much persuasion, she finally made Su Qi give up the idea.
These supplements were sent by Xu Linchuan; how could she possibly accept money from Su Qi?
After dinner, Su Qi went to bed early.
She had filmed for half a month straight in the crew.
It rained for the next few days, so there was no progress in filming.
Taking advantage of this opportunity…
Su Qi called Huo Tingyun, but after a few rings, the call was hung up.
With no other choice, Su Qi called Qin Xue.
"Aunt Qin, please help me contact Tingyun. I have some free time these days, so let Tingyun handle the divorce procedures."
If this dragged on…
Su Qi lowered her gaze and glanced at her stomach.
In another month, it wouldn't be so easy to hide.
Calculating the months, she was already four months along.
Once her pregnancy started to show, she would have to quit her job.
Qin Xue was a little surprised that Su Qi would call to urge the divorce. She only said that she would call Huo Tingyun.
After hanging up Su Qi's call, Qin Xue called Huo Tingyun.
He did answer, but as soon as he heard about the divorce, he claimed he was in a meeting in Hong Kong and had no time.
Qin Xue contacted Special Assistant Lin, who only said, "Sir is very busy recently. We'll handle it later."
Later?
If it was later, it would be close to the engagement date!
Qin Xue personally went to Hong Kong and, after landing, went straight to the hotel where Huo Tingyun often stayed. This was also a Huo family property, but upon inquiring at the hotel, she was informed that Huo Tingyun had not been there for days and had no scheduled activities in Hong Kong.
What?!
Qin Xue was both shocked and bewildered. She had the Huo family investigate and only then found out.
This child wasn't in Hong Kong for a meeting at all; he was clearly still in Shenzhen.
This child…
After raising him for eighteen years, Qin Xue realized for the first time that she didn't understand him at all.
It was Huo Tingyun who wanted to marry Xu Linyun, which led him to propose divorce to Su Qi.
Qin Xue didn't have a particularly bad impression of this daughter-in-law.
She was so beautiful; it wouldn't be bad if she had a pair of children with Tingyun.
It's a pity she's too disappointing. She doesn't object to the divorce.
"Madam, there's no need to worry. Miss Linyun and the young master have already consummated their relationship. We just need to wait for Miss Linyun to get pregnant, and the young master won't be able to drag it out any longer," the servant said. Qin Xue felt a little more at ease.
That's right, as long as Xu Linyun got pregnant, Tingyun wouldn't be able to delay the divorce, would he?
Su Qi, having a rare day off, opened her laptop and searched for renowned orthopedic doctors in China.
The most famous doctor in China, Jin Congwen, had already retired.
Su Qi searched from China to abroad. She found only one case abroad where it was possible to re-transplant legs.
A case abroad involving a person with leg disabilities for many years.
He became an experimental subject for a doctor in New York.
Legs from a recently deceased elderly person were transplanted. The bone DNA matched perfectly, allowing for a successful transplant. The patient's condition was very stable after the surgery. After the wound healed completely, he was actually able to walk normally.
This meant that Su Yan's legs also had hope.
Su Qi searched for this doctor and found that he was very famous abroad and was even of Chinese descent.
This is wonderful…
Su Qi couldn't help but send a message to Su Yan.
Even though she knew Su Yan wouldn't reply, she still sent the message.
Su Qi hadn't seen Su Yan in a long time and missed him dearly.
Looking at the hundreds, even thousands, of messages she had sent on her phone.
One message a day, but Su Yan had never replied.
Losing patience, Su Qi couldn't help but want to share this good news with Su Yan.
Su Yan's legs being saved was the best news for Su Qi.
She wanted Su Yan to know this good news too.
Su Qi made a call and, upon receiving a reply from the other end, quickly packed up and left.
Although she hadn't been back in a long time, Su Qi was familiar with the route and smoothly arrived at the entrance of the Su family home.
A magnificent villa stood quietly in a rare tranquil area of the old town.
Su Qi approached, and before she could ring the doorbell, the butler, Uncle Yang, came out to open the door.
"Miss Su, come in quickly, quickly. Madam will be back soon."
Uncle Yang was very excited to see Su Qi.
Ever since that incident, Uncle Yang hadn't seen Su Qi return home.
The master and madam had forbidden Su Qi from stepping foot in the Su family home and also from approaching Su Yan.
"Uncle Yang, thank you so much." Su Qi couldn't help but step forward and hug Uncle Yang.
"I know you're a good child. You wouldn't want Su Yan to end up like this. You've always had the best relationship since you were little; how could you bear to harm your brother? Go in quickly, make haste."
As Uncle Yang spoke, he opened the door for Su Qi.
Su Qi walked directly through the main entrance.
Although she hadn't been back for half a year, everything was familiar; this was the place where she had grown up.
She walked directly towards the room at the end of the first-floor corridor.
The first floor originally had servant rooms. After Su Yan's accident, the first floor was renovated. The room was spacious, connected to the courtyard and the back garden, and convenient for Su Yan's movement.
She learned all this from Uncle Yang.
Three steps, two steps, one step…
She stopped at the door of the room.
The tightly closed door, even standing outside, seemed to exude a sense of lifelessness from within the room.
Su Qi raised her hand and knocked on the door. After waiting for a long time, there was no response from inside.
Su Qi tried to turn the doorknob, but surprisingly, the door was not locked.
With a creak, the door opened.
The spacious bedroom had been redecorated and was very luxurious, with modern furnishings, even equipped with medical equipment and a room for the caregiver.
