Translator: 549690339

Yu Xiu saw there wasn’t much medication left, so she went to call a nurse to change the bottle before talking to Qin Xue about her situation:

“Actually, I don’t know much about you and Chu Molin. What I know is from overhearing others gossiping in the family building.”

I hope you won’t be mad, but people say that Chu Molin was forced to marry you because you tricked him. But I don’t know how you tricked him.

Originally, people in the research institute said that the institute’s beauty was dating Chu Molin, and they were almost ready to file for marriage.

Who would have thought that you would suddenly snatch him away when he went out for research, causing a huge ruckus and demanding Chu Molin take responsibility, so he had no choice but to marry you.

Not long after, I heard your family wanted Chu Molin to bring you here, so you came.

But since you arrived, there’s been non-stop trouble every day, and it eventually led to Chu Molin being punished.

...
Then Chu Molin and the others went out for research, you got injured and were hospitalized… ah, that’s all I know.”

Yu Xiu finished and felt a bit embarrassed, talking about someone else’s personal affairs like this, especially to the person involved.

Qin Xue watched Yu Xiu’s originally indifferent expression becoming uneasy as she talked about her gossip, and her heart stirred.

It seems Yu Xiu is very insightful, though she doesn’t talk much, she pointed out the key issues without wasting words.

Furthermore, Qin Xue could tell that Yu Xiu was someone she could befriend. Whether they could become close friends depended on their future interactions. If they couldn’t, they could at least be acquaintances, especially since Yu Xiu was taking care of her now, she didn’t want to leave a bad impression!

“It’s alright, Yu Xiu, I don’t mind. I lost my memory and don’t remember anything, so I’m in the dark.

Speaking of which, I should thank you for telling me all this. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know if I offended someone or not. Although, I may have already offended everyone.”

From Yu Xiu’s words, Qin Xue knew that her past self had offended everyone.

But now that she was in this body, when people talked about the past, they were talking about her. So she needed to turn those bad things around and work towards a better future. It’s time to change, starting now.

Seeing Qin Xue like this, Yu Xiu thought the rumors might be wrong.

If Qin Xue knew what Yu Xiu was thinking, she could only sigh.

She didn’t have her past self’s memories, but she believed she could bring back her good reputation as long as she managed everything well.

Although she wasn’t someone who cared much about her reputation, now that she was married and had a child, having a good reputation would be beneficial.

It wasn’t until she finished her IV drip that Qin Xue started eating. The porridge and eggs were still hot, thanks to Yu Xiu, who was thoughtful enough to keep them warm in a basin of hot water.

This small act showed how considerate Yu Xiu was. Perhaps her indifference was just because they weren’t familiar yet.

The porridge today was quite thick, and Yu Xiu added some pickles, making it very appetizing.

Qin Xue ended up finishing the whole box of porridge and two eggs, which made her feel a little embarrassed for eating so much.

“Well, uh, Yu Xiu, I’ve finished eating.” Qin Xue handed the empty lunch box to Yu Xiu with embarrassment.

Seeing Qin Xue’s expression, Yu Xiu knew what was bothering her and took the lunch box: “Hey, what’s the big deal? It’s just a box of porridge. You’re pregnant now, it’s good to eat a lot.”
