Chapter 349 We won't pursue this further.
At the entrance and exit of the hospital parking garage, Xia Mingyuan was driving out at high speed.
Even though there were two windshields between them, and quite a distance between them, Song Lingge could still see his expression clearly.
It's a sense of relaxation that comes from achieving a goal.
"Do we still want to go up?" Qiao Nansheng asked.
The senior student has likely already been bribed, so going up there wouldn't make much of a difference.
Song Lingge did not answer, but she did not stop the car and still drove into the hospital's garage.
Since we're already here, we should at least go up and ask in person before we can give up.
The ward was quiet. Xue Suyun lay alone on the hospital bed, looking out the window with a forlorn expression.
Qiao Nansheng knocked on the door.
Xue Suyun turned around and saw them, managing a weak smile.
"Oh, it's you! Come in and have a seat!"
Song Lingge and Qiao Nansheng exchanged glances. Neither of them had any connection with Xue Suyun, but judging from Xue Suyun's current attitude, it seemed that they knew each other.
Xue Suyun said, "Qiao Nansheng and Song Lingge are prominent figures in the school. Their names are well-known. I'm afraid there are very few people in the entire Nanjing Foreign Language School who don't know you!"
Even so, Song Lingge still felt something was strange.
"Senior, we've come to see you."
Qiao Nansheng placed the fruit and flowers he bought on the bedside table, and then sat down on the stool next to Song Lingge.
"These flowers are so beautiful." Looking at the fresh and vibrant flowers, Xue Suyun seemed to be in a good mood.
"Senior, are you feeling better?" Song Lingge asked.
Xue Suyun snapped out of her daze and nodded: "After finishing the IV drip today, I can be discharged tomorrow."
After exchanging pleasantries, the three of them remained silent for a moment.
Qiao Nansheng, as the one who caused Xia Jiaojiao's attack, spoke first: "Senior, we came here to apologize to you..."
"What need do you have to apologize?" Xue Suyun interrupted Qiao Nansheng. She looked at Qiao Nansheng and then at Song Lingge.
They truly are a perfect couple.
The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful. The key is that, in addition to their good looks, they are also very capable. No wonder they attract jealousy.
"You knew everything?" Song Lingge asked.
Xue Suyun looked out the window and nodded silently.
"We just arrived and saw Director Xia leaving..."
Xue Suyun turned to look at Song Lingge: "He came to negotiate with me, how could he possibly reveal that the murderer is his daughter? However, I already knew last night that Xia Jiaojiao was the one who drugged him."
It is said that Xue Suyun's medication took effect very quickly last night. Qiao Nansheng felt something was wrong and immediately went to find Song Lingge, so he did not know what happened after the ambulance arrived.
Xue Suyun was able to know the whole story on the same day, so someone must have told her.
This person is unlikely to be a school leader, including Yu Dezhi.
Even if he really wanted Xia Mingyuan to step down, given his cautious nature, he would never go against Wan Jianguo's wishes until Wan Jianguo expressed a clear stance.
It must have been a friend of Xue Suyun, someone who was also in the small auditorium that night who relayed the message to her.
But... how did the senior's friend find out the whole story so quickly?
Something feels off.
"Senior, are you alone in the hospital? Don't you have anyone to take care of you?" Song Lingge asked.
“I’m different from you. My home is far away. I came here through university.” Xue Suyun seemed a little self-conscious. “My family isn’t well-off. From a very young age, I knew that I could only change my fate through education. I originally thought that after getting into Nanjing Foreign Language School, I could find a job and settle down in Nanzhou…”
It seemed like she had to put a lot of effort into convincing herself, and it took Xue Suyun quite a while to finish her sentence.
"But now I plan to go back to my hometown. With my education, I should be more than qualified to be a teacher in the county town."
After Xue Suyun finished speaking, Song Lingge and Qiao Nansheng didn't know how to respond.
"You all look down on me, don't you?" Xue Suyun said, lowering her head. She didn't seem to care about Song Lingge and the others' answers; she just wanted to express her true feelings in front of others.
“After this happened, I was filled with remorse for a long time after I came to my senses last night. In my most painful moments, I even thought about going all out and calling the police so that they would be punished as they deserved. But, the biggest purpose of all these years of studying is to improve my life. Now that this opportunity is in front of me, why shouldn't I take it?”
Although she had been mentally prepared, Song Lingge still felt very upset when she actually heard these words from Xue Suyun's mouth.
Being able to participate in the gala as an outstanding student shows that Xue Suyun is an exceptionally talented girl.
But after this happened, the outside world's voices made it impossible for her to stay in Nanzhou, and in the end, she had no choice but to give up her dreams...
You can't judge whether her choice was right or wrong, because there's no right or wrong in this matter; she can only choose what's most beneficial to herself.
“Just like yesterday, after this happened to me, none of my so-called friends came to see me. I’m not afraid to tell you this, but apart from those who came with ulterior motives, you are the only ones who came to visit me.”
Xue Suyun's words made Song Lingge feel even worse, because she had also come with a purpose, but she didn't even have a chance to say it out loud, and it ultimately failed.
"Senior, I don't know how to comfort people, but I think your idea is very good. You will definitely live well in your hometown, and you will feel more at home than in Nanzhou."
"I accept your good words."
"Senior, we won't disturb your rest any longer." Having said what needed to be said, it was time to leave.
As Song Lingge and Qiao Nansheng walked to the door, just as Song Lingge was about to close the ward door, the two girls' eyes met.
Xue Suyun said, "Thank you, Song Lingge."
Song Lingge gave her a sincere smile.
Not everyone in this world is brave, and not every choice has to be judged as right or wrong.
Xue Suyun is already amazing. For someone with no family background to encounter such a big thing in Nanzhou, she didn't give up on herself and knew how to make choices. She is a very good girl.
If Song Lingge wants to choose another path, that is her choice.
Both girls are choosing their own paths, and since they haven't reached the end, no one can judge whether it's good or bad.
Or perhaps, there is no good or bad to begin with.
"Don't be discouraged, there must be other ways." Qiao Nansheng patted Song Lingge on the shoulder.
Song Lingge gave him a hearty smile: "I've discussed it with Professor Qin. If Senior Sister doesn't pursue the matter, then we won't either."
"Why?" Qiao Nansheng asked in bewilderment and surprise.
"Let's talk about it when we get back!"
Anyway, I'll go back and discuss it with Qin Sihai, so I'll just tell him everything then to avoid repeating myself.
