After dealing with the reporters at the door, Hong Dali finally entered the ward where the child was recovering.
The child's mother was there too. She lay on the bed beside the child and was struggling to feed the child.
Women needed confinement after giving birth, and the child's mother was no exception. But she had no choice. The child was thrown into the garbage pipe when he was born. The child's mother was so heartbroken that she almost jumped off the building. Luckily, when she found out that the child had been saved, she insisted on coming over. She didn't even care about the fact that she couldn't be exposed to the wind during confinement.
When Hong Dali entered the room, the woman was feeding and coaxing the child. "Little sweetheart, eat more. That way, you'll recover faster …"
Little sweetheart. Just this sentence alone made Hong Dali feel that he did the right thing.
Think about it, when his great-grandmother and great-grandfather called him little sweetheart, how much did they dote on him?
"You, you're Young Master Dali?" Hearing the sound of the door opening, the woman turned her head and looked at Hong Dali. Tears flowed down her face. "Thank you, thank you so much!" The woman was very pretty. She had an oval face, black hair that reached her shoulders, and a good figure. Although she was a little out of shape after giving birth, one could still see that she was slim and attractive.
She was just purely thanking him. But when Hong Dali saw her face, his mind exploded with a bang! Then, it was a wave of intense anger! Extreme anger!
Because he actually knew this woman! Not only did he know her, he was very familiar with her!
Not only were they very familiar, but this woman had accompanied him for three years when he was still in school! They weren't boyfriend and girlfriend. This woman was his deskmate in high school, Xu Qingqing!
Hong Dali was killed by a car in this world because he was trying to save two children. He was reborn in another world and came back here. He had lived two lives!
Seeing such an old classmate, especially when she was hurt like this, how could Hong Dali not be angry!
Xu Qingqing had helped Hong Dali a lot when he was in high school.
At that time, Hong Dali was an orphan. He might not be looked down upon in school, but he had few friends. And this Xu Qingqing was one of the few who was willing to talk to him and take care of him. In just an instant, the innocent years when he was in school appeared in Hong Dali's mind …
"Qingqing, I don't know this question. Can you teach me?"
"Ah? This question is very simple. You just have to do this and this and this … Do you understand now? "
"Dali, hurry up. I've already lined up for you. Hurry, hurry!"
"I'm coming, I'm coming. Hehe, thank you. Otherwise, I would have to line up for a long time …"
During that time, nothing particularly thrilling happened. The two of them were the best of friends. Xu Qingqing always took care of Hong Dali like a little sister. Whenever Hong Dali encountered something unhappy, Xu Qingqing would be the first to comfort him and cheer him up.
It wasn't an overstatement to say that Hong Dali's kind and optimistic personality was largely due to Xu Qingqing.
Later, because of family reasons, Xu Qingqing didn't even go to college. After graduating from high school, she went to the south with her parents. Who would have thought that when the two of them met again, it would be under such circumstances?
And Xu Qingqing, who had always been like a happy big sister, had become like this in just two short years?
"You … Are you okay?" Hong Dali was stunned for a long time before he suppressed the anger in his heart and calmed himself down. He looked at Xu Qingqing and didn't know where to start. In the end, he could only ask softly, "You just gave birth. You can't be careless during your confinement period. There will be repercussions."
"I'm fine." Xu Qingqing looked at Hong Dali and sighed softly. Then, she said softly, "Thank you. Speaking of which, I also have a classmate called Hong Dali. He's my deskmate … "
"Hehe, what a coincidence." Hong Dali walked closer to her and sat beside her.
Although Xu Qingqing was breastfeeding the child, she didn't feel embarrassed at all. Her face shone with motherly light. She looked at the child gently and replied softly, "Maybe. Sigh, poor child. Look at how much pain he's in. He keeps moaning even when he's breastfeeding …"
Poor girl.
The feeling between the two of them was very strange. Usually, when breastfeeding a child, men would take the initiative to avoid it. But Hong Dali just sat there, and Xu Qingqing didn't object at all.
That feeling was the same as when they were deskmates.
Childhood sweethearts, the two of them were innocent.
"What exactly is going on?" Hong Dali stretched out his hand and gently touched the child's little face. He said, "How did you end up with someone like that?"
"It's a long story." Speaking of this, Xu Qingqing's eyes suddenly turned red. "My father likes to gamble. Our family's financial condition was not bad before, but in the end, my father was cheated out of more than two million yuan. He lost his house and car, and in the end, he still owed more than one million yuan in debt."
"At that time, my family was already at a dead end. My father was so depressed that he wanted to commit suicide. My mother cried all day long." Xu Qingqing's voice was already a little tearful. She continued, "Every day, there were more than ten people surrounding our house to prevent us from escaping. They forced my father to borrow money every day. Later, I found out from my father that they were from the Black Dragon Gang. "
Prostitution, gambling, and drugs were never good things. Once you were involved in it, nothing good would come out of it.
"What happened next? How did you end up with that big baldy … "Hong Dali asked.
"Later, that big baldy was said to be the boss of those hooligans. One time, he accidentally saw me." Xu Qingqing smiled bitterly and shook her head. "He said that as long as I was willing to follow him, he could let me go. I had to return the money, but he could make the decision to give my family some time …"
"And you agreed?" Hong Dali took a deep breath.
"What else could I do?" Xu Qingqing smiled with tears in her eyes. She said, "My family used to only have a small amount of assets. Ever since my father lost everything, we had no money and no one to rely on. Everyone avoided our family like the plague. We were just ordinary people. The Black Dragon Gang was so powerful. I only had two choices. One was to agree. Although it was humiliating, I could live on. Twenty rejections. Then, our family was at a dead end. Death might be the only outcome. "
"En, I understand." Hong Dali nodded. He did not think too much about it.
He actually understood Xu Qingqing very well.
After all, the arm was no match for the thigh. She was just a weak woman. What other choice did she have?
"Later, I got pregnant." Xu Qingqing slowly said, "Originally, I thought that although I was forced to follow him, if I had a child, it would at least make him better. I always fantasized that although he was a gangster, he should at least have some humanity. I didn't expect … Hehe, sigh …"
"I understand." Hong Dali understood everything when he heard this.
Because he understood Xu Qingqing. She was such an optimistic girl. Although she followed the big baldy because she was at the end of her rope, she still hoped that her man could walk on the right path. Hong Dali could imagine the hard work and grievances she had suffered during this period.
In the end, Xu Qingqing got pregnant. One must know that children had always been the biggest link in a family. Once they had a child, anyone with a bit of humanity would start to put their family first. Hong Dali could even imagine that Xu Qingqing must have told the big baldy to live a good life in the future.
In the end, who would have thought that the big baldy would actually throw his own son into the garbage pipe?!
"It's been hard on you." Hong Dali gently patted Xu Qingqing's back and comforted her. "Everything is fine in the future. Just take good care of the baby. I'll take care of the rest."
"Young Master Dali, don't!" Xu Qingqing hurriedly said, "It's not worth offending the Black Dragon Gang because of me! Those people are not good people. Don't put you in danger because of me! I just want my sweetheart to be fine. As for the rest, Young Master Dali, don't offend the Black Dragon Gang. It's not something that can be settled with money! "
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Hong Dali smiled and looked at Xu Qingqing. Then, he patted his chest. "My heart is still warm. You don't have to worry about this anymore. Oh right, do you have a job now? If not, can you do me a favor? "
"Ah? A job? " Hong Dali's words confused Xu Qingqing. But in the end, she shook her head. "I haven't looked for a job since I got pregnant …"
"Well, let's do it this way." Hong Dali said, "I plan to open an orphanage. Come and help me. You'll get a monthly salary of ten thousand, including food and lodging. Starting now."
"This … how can I accept this …" Xu Qingqing was stunned.
She really did not expect that this Young Master Hong Dali not only saved her child, but also gave her such a good job!
A monthly salary of ten thousand was already a white-collar salary!
"It's settled, then." As Hong Dali spoke, he walked out the door. "Have a good rest first. I'll come and see the child later." Before leaving, Hong Dali said softly, "Black Dragon Gang, I will make them disappear — completely disappear."
At the same time, the System's voice sounded. "Hidden Mission triggered: You Who Sat Next To Me. Mission Description: Take care of your former deskmate, Xu Qingqing. Mission Reward: 20-50 Achievement points. "
As expected, the mission was issued. Unfortunately, Hong Dali was not particularly happy at this time.
Seeing the deskmate who was once the best to him end up like this, it was really depressing. And what came after the depressing was the real decision.
"Xu Qingqing, you took care of me when I was studying. This time, it's my turn to take care of you." Hong Dali secretly made up his mind.
