Xiao Li smiled and asked, “Uncle, have you thought of our Mianmian’s name?”

Mianmian was the nickname of Xiao Li and Qin Xiao’s daughter.

Qin Xiao shook his head. “Not yet. I feel that every name is not good…”

Ever since he knew that Xiao Li was pregnant, he had been thinking of a name for the baby. However, he had not come up with one yet.

Xiao Li still remembered that Qin Xiao had written down a lot of boys’ names, but he was not satisfied with the girls’ names.

According to Qin Xiao, one didn’t have to waste too much time and effort in choosing a boy’s name, so long as it was suitable for a boy…

However, a girl’s name should not be chosen casually. Otherwise, his little darling might be teased by her friends.

Xiao Li covered her mouth and laughed when she heard that. “Don’t tell me you have not come up with a name when we are about to be discharged…”

Qin Xiao frowned. “But you can’t just choose a name casually!

It never hurts to think carefully…”

Xiao Li smiled and said, “Uncle, can we call her Qin Chu?”

Chu: It means beginning. Everything starts anew, like a new life.

Qin Xiao was stunned when he heard that, but he immediately understood the meaning behind the name and nodded in agreement.

“Alright, let’s call her Qin Chu.”

Xiao Li smiled. She knew that Qin Xiao understood what she meant, but she also knew that Qin Xiao only understood one level of it.

Qin Xiao must have thought that she had returned from the gates of hell and given her child the name ‘Beginning’ which meant regaining a new life.

But the deeper meaning of this name that Xiao Li had chosen was that she would be completely cut off from her previous life…

It was only in the past two days that she remembered that she had passed away around this time in her previous life. Regarding this mishap, she might be transcending the tribulation. After transcending this tribulation, everything would really be different.

And Qin Chu was the biggest difference between her two lives. The birth of the child also meant her new life had really begun.

As she thought about it, Xiao Li suddenly wanted to see the child. “I really want to see Mianmian quickly…”

Because Xiao Li couldn’t get out of bed easily and Qin Chu was still in the incubator, Xiao Li had yet to see Qin Chu…

She could only see her photos on her phone…

Qin Xiao touched her face. “Soon. Wait another two days…”

Xiao Li nodded. “I’m a little tired now. I’ll sleep for a while.”

Qin Xiao said, “Okay.”

Xiao Li fell asleep after a while. After confirming that she was sound asleep, Qin Xiao left the ward and made a call…

The call went through, but the other party did not speak. Qin Xiao ordered coldly, “Find out about Jiao Zhuang.”

“Yes.”

Previously, Qin Xiao did not know that Jiao Zhuang was targeting Xiao Li and only treated it as a medical dispute.

He hated Jiao Zhuang for hurting Xiao Li, and all he could think about was how to punish him. He had never thought of investigating him…

As for now…

How could he feel at ease if he didn’t remove the threat behind the scenes?

In the basement of an apartment not far from the hospital, a woman with a few scars on her face and legs of different lengths was sitting on an iron bed. Another well-dressed woman was standing not far from her with a pale face…

“Miss Xiao, didn’t you say that you only wanted Jiao Zhuang to cause trouble and not let Xiao Li’s internship go too smoothly?

How had it gotten so big now?

I heard from my former colleagues at the hospital that Xiao Li almost died.

Do you know that I’ve been afraid to go out for the past few days, afraid that if they find out about me…”

Miao Ting said fearfully. She was extremely regretful now. Why did she have to cooperate with this crazy woman just because she wanted to take revenge on Qin Xiao?

Now that someone had almost died, if she was found out, she would be sent to prison.

Ever since Miao Ting left the hospital, she had gone to another hospital to submit her resume. However, because she was fired, her job search did not go smoothly. She encountered obstacles everywhere…

As she had been working at the hospital previously, she had rented a house in front of the hospital in order to make it easier for her to get to work. She did not move and still lived here.

Because she was still living in front of the hospital, she often saw Qin Xiao and Xiao Li getting along sweetly. They went to work together and got off work together…

Every time Miao Ting saw them together, she would be furious. She had lost her job because of Qin Xiao. How could they be so happy?

Just as her hatred grew stronger, Xiao Yan came to her and said that she was also harmed by Qin Xiao and Xiao Li.

With just a few exchanges, they got along well…

After that, Miao Ting found out from her former colleagues about Qin Xiao and Xiao Li’s situation and learned about Xiao Li’s internship in the internal medicine department. After knowing that she was going to the kidney medicine department next, Miao Ting happened to bump into Jiao Zhuang and found out about Jiao Yue’s death.

So, Xiao Yan got to know Jiao Zhuang through Miao Ting. She instigated Jiao Zhuang to go to the hospital to deal with Xiao Li. Meanwhile, Miao Ting foolishly thought that Xiao Yan only wanted to make use of Jiao Zhuang to vent her anger. Jiao Zhuang had wanted to ask the hospital for compensation…

She had never expected Xiao Yan to ask Jiao Zhuang to go to the hospital to kill someone. When she first heard the news, Miao Ting was dumbfounded.

On the iron bed, Xiao Yan flicked the cigarette in her hand and flicked the ashes…

“What are you afraid of? Jiao Zhuang went to the hospital to cause trouble because he had a conflict with the hospital’s doctors. It was a medical dispute.

It won’t be traced back to us. Don’t worry!”

Miao Ting asked nervously, “Are you serious? Won’t Jiao Zhuang expose us?”

Xiao Yan sneered. “No, he won’t say anything even if he dies.”

The reason Xiao Yan was so confident was that when she first met Jiao Zhuang, she had appeared as a pathetic woman that took pity on a middle-aged widower who had lost his child. With some drugs, she baited Jiao Zhuang and went to bed with him.

She lied to Jiao Zhuang that she was pregnant with his child. She even lied to him that she bumped into the person who had caused her to break her leg. She was afraid that the other party would come and persecute her again.

Jiao Zhuang was fooled by Xiao Yan. All he could think about was how to help Xiao Yan and protect his child in her stomach.

So, under Xiao Yan’s arrangements, Jiao Zhuang went to the hospital with the determination to die with his victim.

Miao Ting saw that Xiao Yan was very confident and recalled that there were many medical disputes in the country every year. She thought that nothing would happen, so she went back with ease.

Xiao Yan waited until Miao Ting was completely out of sight before she said disdainfully, “Stupid.”

With that, she pulled out the suitcase under the bed, packed some important things, and left the basement where she had lived for more than half a year.

She was not as naive as Miao Ting. She knew that with the Qin family’s power, they would be able to find her very quickly. She already knew that Qin Xiao was no ordinary university professor.

Up till now, Xiao Yan had been carefully hiding because she wanted to know if Xiao Li was dead or not.

Now that she knew, it was time to leave. If she stayed any longer, she would probably be destroyed.
