Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 719: Chapter 719: A Dream in Nanke

Jiang Conghe was calculating, while Lu Shufen was filled with worry. Their daughter had always been resistant to seeing a doctor. What if she refused to go?

”Old Chiang, Old Chiang, are you even listening to me?” Lu Shufen, getting no response, couldn’t help but feel extremely annoyed.

She was unlucky enough already, having just been suspended from her job; now, she had to worry about her daughter’s treatment. And there was Old Chiang, not bothering to think of a solution; really, she didn’t know how he was supposed to be a husband and a father.

”If she doesn’t want to go, tie her up and take her there. Otherwise, are we supposed to just watch her continue like this?” Jiang Conghe said impatiently.

Lu Shufen felt very wronged.

”What about her future? The whole street is talking about this!”

Jiang Conghe added, ”We can deal with the future later. As long as our Chiang family is in good standing, are we afraid we won’t be able to marry off our daughter? Besides, it’s not as if the illness is incurable, and she’s not...”

He took a deep breath and said, ”Keep an eye on her for me; I’m going to talk to my father-in-law!”

Seeing him leave after dropping a single sentence, Lu Shufen was seething with anger but felt helpless. All she could do was go upstairs to check on her daughter, who had locked herself in her room and hadn’t taken a step outside since their return. How could this be okay?

Chiang Qing concealed herself deep within a dark room and had a long dream.

In the dream, she was a respected military doctor. Born into a good family, countless people pursued her, but she met Qi Taiguo.

They met and knew each other, treating one another with respect. She admired him, and he appreciated her.

They were good friends. She admired him deeply yet never crossed the line, only confidantes.

He was married, and she, still unmarried, had eyes only for him.

She knew his marriage was unhappy, with both spouses polite but their feelings cold as ice. They were courteous to each other and never had children, but she had never heard Qi Taiguo talk of divorce.

Eventually, unable to bear it any longer, she began to reveal her feelings, trying to persuade him to divorce.

She found Qi Taiguo’s hometown, was extremely good to his family. When his mother fell ill, she took care of her like a daughter, moving the old lady to tears. She also contacted family members to convince Qi Taiguo to divorce.

He remained silent, took no action, and she didn’t press him. Knowing his temperament and character, she was willing to be the woman behind him.

They both held high positions, looking at each other from afar, and there was Cheng Su, his wife!

What about her? Occupying the status of the legitimate wife, enjoying the glory he brought, she always looked at her with disdain, as if watching a clown.

And later, what happened?

In that dream, what happened to them later? It seemed she was diagnosed with cancer, and her only request was for Qi Taiguo to marry her, even going so far as to kneel before Cheng Su, begging her to grant her this.

That Cheng Su, both similar and dissimilar to the current Cheng Su—where they differed, she did not know.

She remembered that look in Cheng Su’s eyes, so pitiful, so disdainful.

Obviously, she was just an inept village woman, but standing before Chiang Qing, she seemed so high and mighty, with a look of disdain.

And then, she died, she died...

Waking from the dream, Chiang Qing also awoke, staring blankly out of the window.

After her death, what happened? She did not know.

It was a dream, yet it seemed so realistically that it had actually happened.

Was it a dream within Nanke?

But the dream was so much better than the present.

Someone pushed the door open and called her name cautiously.

Chiang Qing turned her head and saw the worried look in her mother’s eyes and calmly said, ”Mom, I’ll go see Doctor Zhong.”
