CHAPTER 287: CHAPTER 287: BAI YU COMES TO POACH HER

Xiao Li exchanged a glance with Qin Xiao upon hearing the words. She had anticipated that Yue Wenwen would be blamed, so she had left the few little ones at home, skipping the handmade dumplings meal, to meet with Yue Wenwen.

Xiao Li chuckled softly, "Do you also feel like you caused your brother’s death?"

Yue Wenwen shook her head, "I don’t know. Initially, I just wanted to stop him, to prevent him from hurting others.

Now that he is truly dead, I feel at fault; I should have stopped him before he erred, rather than allowing things to come to this."

Xiao Li stood up and sat right next to Yue Wenwen, holding her hand, "Do you think you could have stopped him? He found ways to escape even from within, even colleagues couldn’t manage him, do you think you could have stopped him?

Moreover, your brother’s death is not related to anyone; it was his own mistake. No one told him to kidnap, no one told him to escape; these were all decisions he made himself, so the mistake is his.

Don’t get brainwashed just because someone said a few words. If there’s any person besides him who is at fault for your brother’s affair, that person is not you, but your parents.

Before your brother escaped, his lawyer proposed claiming your brother was mentally ill to avoid punishment.

If your brother hadn’t escaped, maybe his lawyer could indeed have succeeded and he could have avoided trouble."

Lawyer Yu had reasons to ponder using mental illness to avoid consequences, because considering Gu Zhiyuan’s actions, you can’t really say his mind had no issues.

Even if there were no mental issues, there’s definitely a problem psychologically.

He was paranoid and violent. As a young boy, he would bully Yue Wenwen, receiving gratification from the act, saying such a person is normal is absolutely impossible.

As for Gu Zhiyuan having psychological issues, naturally, his parents had a part to play.

Xiao Li doesn’t even need to use her head, just her toes suffice to know, that being a drag on the family, before he brought benefits to the Yue Family, Gu’s days shouldn’t have been pleasant.

In such an environment surrounded by disdain, Gu Zhiyuan having personality issues is normal; after all, he was someone lacking love.

If it weren’t for lacking love, how could he develop an obsession over a mere glance at Xiao Li, to the extent that even when facing death, he wanted to grasp onto Xiao Li as a ray of hope.

The meal was extremely mute, but after Xiao Li’s consolation, Yue Wenwen’s entire spirits transformed; the dejected demeanor turning vibrant.

After parting with Yue Wenwen and the others, Qin Xiao and Xiao Li headed back home, wondering how the little ones fared with their meal? Whether the fruits of their morning labor tasted better?

In H Country, inside a private room at a certain bar, a scar-faced man was holding a blonde woman in his arms while drinking, when someone rushed in, "Uncle Shan, Gu Zhiyuan is dead, and the people you sent to secretly assist have also been captured by the locals."

The man, upon hearing Gu Zhiyuan died, suddenly pushed the woman aside and sprang towards the person delivering the news, "What did you say? Gu Zhiyuan is dead? How did he die?

Didn’t I send Chani and Marco to rescue him? Couldn’t they rescue him?"

"The exact situation hasn’t been reported yet. Chani and Marco were captured, maybe they couldn’t rescue him!" said the informant with a bowed head.

The man grabbed the informant’s collar, "Go investigate, I want to know everything."

The informant immediately retreated, and after leaving, the man’s anger led him to sweep the drinks off the coffee table onto the ground.

The blonde woman gasped lightly, "Oh... Shan, what are you doing? I don’t understand."

The man’s eyes were reddened with anger; upon hearing the woman’s voice, he remembered there was still someone in the room, and directly pulled the woman over as an outlet for his anger.

Half a month later, Xiao Li and Qin Xiao officially returned to school for registration.

Xiao Li’s graduate journey was truly challenging, filled with ups and downs.

Upon returning to school, Xiao Li immediately made use of her time to catch up, thankfully during her time at home, she didn’t waste time and kept busy with her thesis.

The over two months before graduation made Xiao Li truly experience what it means to be overwhelmed.

Fortunately, her health had significantly improved compared to before, with her heart condition gradually easing due to medication.

After two hectic months, Xiao Li finally officially graduated.

On her graduation day, Bai Yu came to the house to snatch her.

Inside the villa, Bai Yu sat face to face with Qin Xiao, "Brother-in-law, not to brag, but my sister’s academic success isn’t questionable, can you bear to let her go back to your hospital and bury her talent?"

Qin Xiao chuckled lightly, "How does her talent get buried at our hospital?"

"Your hospital follows a high-end approach, there’s not that many patients, which means fewer patients Xiao Li can attend to.

Why did Xiao Li pursue graduate studies? It was to refine her medical skills and help more patients, stopping her from going to a bigger hospital is burying her, isn’t it?" Bai Yu exclaimed excitedly.

Bai Yu was excited, while Qin Xiao remained calm, leisurely sipping tea, and after placing the cup back on the table, he calmly replied, "Your perspective is incorrect!"

On the other side, Xiao Li leaned next to Li Mei, gently touching her slightly bulging belly, "How have you been lately? Are you still nauseous?"

Li Mei shook her head, "No more nausea, ever since it hit four months, it stopped. It feels truly magical. When I reached three months, I was still vomiting profusely; at that time, I thought, people always say after three months it stops, I was past three months and still vomiting, would it continue until delivery?

Fortunately, fortunately, it stopped after four months, this past month, everything tastes delicious."

Xiao Li laughed, "Enjoy your food but don’t overeat, or else you’ll have excess nutrition; if the baby becomes too big, delivery will be taxing.

By the way, when do you plan to work until?"

Li Mei glanced at Bai Yu, "I plan to work until the last month before resting."

Speaking softly in Xiao Li’s ear, she said, "Do you know why your cousin insists you return to work at the hospital? Because the respiratory department is understaffed.

Lacking both doctors and nurses. I’m at a loss too, otherwise, I wouldn’t work until so late."

Xiao Li puzzledly asked, "How can there be such a shortage? The department wasn’t like this before!"

"Several reasons, recently there have been several resignations, and a few pregnancies, with pregnant ones being careful not to overburden their scheduling.

The hospital recently signed a few newly graduated medical students, like your classmates Yue Wenwen and Shao Yu, they joined our department, but since they’re new hires, they’re unfamiliar with work and need guidance first.

Given all this, could your brother not be anxious in his role as department director?"
