Sang Qianqian stood not far away and saw clearly that not long after Ruan Xiaoshuang went in, Zhang Xue returned.

The girl stood at the door as if contemplating going in, but she didn’t.

Sang Qianqian didn’t know what Zhang Xue had heard inside, but she suddenly turned around with a pale face and bumped into a nurse who was pushing a medical cart.

The nurse’s footsteps were hurried and her speed was a little fast. Zhang Xue had crashed into the cart, and it seemed that the impact was not light.

At this moment, Sang Qianqian could no longer hide. She quickly walked over to support Zhang Xue, “Are you alright?”

Zhang Xue shook her head. “I’m fine.”

Ruan Xiaoshuang also came out. She naturally recognized Zhang Xue. “Miss Zhang.”

As if afraid that Zhang Xue would misunderstand, she explained, “Mr. Sang risked his life to save me tonight. 1 was worried, so I came to see how he was doing. Miss Zhang, don’t think too much about it.”

Zhang Xue lowered her eyes. “I won’t.”

She didn’t have the right to think too much.

These few days, Sang Minglang came back very late almost every night, but he wasn’t coming from the company.

Zhang Xue was initially curious about what he was doing, but after listening to his conversation with Ruan Xiaoshuang just now, she vaguely guessed that he might have been in the hospital for the past few nights.

Just now, she just didn’t want to listen to it anymore, afraid that she wouldn’t be able to control her emotions. However, she didn’t expect to make a big commotion the moment she turned around.

Ruan Xiaoshuang couldn’t say much, so she turned back to look at Sang Minglang, “Then 1’11 go back first. Mr. Sang, take care of your injuries. I’ll come back to visit you tomorrow.”

Sang Minglang’s expression immediately turned slightly cold when he heard her call him “Mr. Sang”. He did not say a word.

The situation was a little awkward, so Sang Qianqian held Ruan Xiaoshuang’s arm. “1’11 send Sister Xiaoshuang off.”

She also wanted to ask what was going on tonight.

Ruan Xiaoshuang also had a lot to say to her. “Shi’an said that you resigned?”

“Yes, we will go back to Ming City when Hanyu comes back.”

Sang Qianqian didn’t mention that they were leaving mainly because of Ruan Xiaodie. She only said that they had plans to have a baby. Ming City was their home and they had to go back sooner or later.

Ruan Xiaoshuang was a little disappointed. “My eyes have just recovered, but you’re already leaving.”

“The two places aren’t that far. We can meet anytime we want. Besides, it’s not like I’m not coming back.”

Sang Qianqian comforted her and asked, “What happened to Song Guanhua?”

Ruan Xiaoshuang told her about the situation tonight. Sang Qianqian was shocked to find out that something had happened to Song Yu. “How could this be?”

Ruan Xiaoshuang couldn’t understand either.

She held Sang Qianqian’s hand tightly, her expression filled with self-blame and unease. “Qianqian, do you think his death is really related to me? Before his death, I went to the hospital to see him and gave him a sum of money. 1 did that so I could end things with him completely, but two days later, he sent me a message saying that he had been discharged and wanted to see me. I rejected him. He called me several times, but 1 was with Xiaodie at the time, so I didn’t pick up at all…”

Song Yu had died that very night.

If she could turn back time, she would have picked up the call no matter what.

“It has nothing to do with you. Sister Xiaoshuang, don’t think too much about it.”

Sang Qianqian felt that Song Yu’s death was too strange. However, the truth was still unclear, so she could only comfort Ruan Xiaoshuang and wait for the police to investigate.

In Sang Minglang’s ward.

After Ruan Xiaoshuang and Sang Qianqian left, Sang Minglang looked at Zhang Xue, who hadn’t said anything, and said lightly, “Pack your things and return to Yuecheng tomorrow. Our contract is over. As for work, we don’t need you for the time being. You don’t have to worry about the hospital.”

Zhang Xue’s body stiffened.

Back then, Sang Minglang called her over from Yuecheng and even let her stay in his villa.

She was his girlfriend, but she knew very well that she wasn’t a real one in his heart.

As at the beginning, he had said to her, “You can do me this favor, and you can also treat it as a contract. After this is done, 1 won’t treat you unfairly. Of course, you can also refuse. I won’t force you.”

At that time, how could she refuse?

As long as she could be with him, even if it was only temporary, she would do anything.

Therefore, she agreed without hesitation.

Perhaps, Sang Minglang had asked her to come over and even gave her an identity in front of Ruan Xiaoshuang and Sang Qianqian just to put on a front.

From the moment she saw in the newspaper that Song Yu and Ruan Xiaoshuang’s wedding was canceled halfway, she knew that her so-called girlfriend position would not last long.

However, she did not expect it to end so quickly.

Zhang Xue knew that she had no right to ask anything, but she still squeezed out a sentence without thinking, “Do you think I’m a hindrance?”

“Who just now said she was my secretary?”

Sang Minglang smiled as he continued, “As a secretary, you need to be sensible between right or wrong. If you know there’s something you shouldn’t ask, then don’t ask.”

Zhang Xue bit her lip tightly. “I’m sorry.”

“Take the card I gave you. Two days ago, I just sent a sum of money to your father. It’s enough for him to make a comeback.”

Sang Minglang paused. “If you don’t want to stay in the company in the future, you can resign. If you still want to, you can choose which department you like. When I recover and return to Yuecheng, 1 will coordinate with the HR department to help you transfer to a suitable department.”

Zhang Xue was a smart girl, so how could she not understand the meaning behind his words?

She could even guess what he would do after he recovered.

In the past, just because her eyes looked like Ruan Xiaoshuang, he did not hesitate to stand up for her, even if he ended up fighting with his business partner.

When he found out that Ruan Xiaoshuang was going to marry Song Yu, he came home drunk. He hugged her and called her “Xiaoshuang”, asking her if she could give him another chance…

Zhang Xue had always known who Sang Minglang really had in his heart.

Now that Ruan Xiaoshuang was single again, he naturally wouldn’t miss this chance he had.

However, even though she knew this time would come, upon facing it, her heart still ached like a knife was being pushed inside it. It was so painful that tears were about to fall.

Zhang Xue held back the tears that were about to fall from her eyes. “I will… I will resign.”

When Sang Qianqian returned, Zhang Xue was already gone.

She was a little surprised. “Where’s Miss Zhang?”

Sang Minglang was expressionless as he said, “She left. She has to return to Yuecheng tomorrow.”

Sang Qianqian wanted to ask why, but when she thought of the conversation she had overheard earlier, she only sighed silently.

Since it involved the feelings of three people, she didn’t want to meddle anymore.

Moreover, Sang Minglang’s body was in a bad condition, so he needed to rest well.

“Then it seems that I’ll be the only one accompanying you tonight.”

Sang Qianqian turned around and instructed Jian Zheng to borrow a bed and blanket from the nurse’s office. At the same time, she patted the sofa and said, “The sofa in our hospital’s single ward is much softer than the one in Yuecheng. At least you won’t have a backache after sleeping for a night.” “Who’s letting you sleep here?”

“Do you believe that 1’11 call Shen Hanyu?” Sang Minglang stared at her.

“You can try calling him, that is, if your hand can pick up the phone,” Sang Qianqian said slowly.

Sang Minglang was speechless.

In Zhen Group, the lights had been switched off in the office areas within the building. Only Zhen Yiping’s office was still lit up.

Zhen Zhu tried to enter a few passwords, but the computer still gave an error message.

She wiped the cold sweat from her palms and thought for a long time before finally entering a string of numbers again..
