Chapter 545: 545, someone was hit and killed!
“We’ve been married for a long time, and have the Huo Family ever given us any betrothal gifts!” Su Yuntang interrupted with a grimace, “Fortunately, the department doesn’t know that I still have an elder daughter. She was married off to the Huo family without any clarity or clarity, without even a decent wedding! If this gets out, people will laugh me to death! I, the father-in-law, am a laughingstock!”
“Alright, alright, don’t get angry.”
Jiang Yi busily tried to calm her husband, “I just think that even if Wanwan hasn’t returned to the Su Family for so long, she should come home to see her mother during the New Year, right? Lower your head first and treat her well. Actually, Wanwan is quite soft-hearted, isn’t everything just for your celebration banquet?”
Mentioning the celebration banquet, a ripple passed over Su Yuntang’s face.
Jiang Yi seized the opportunity, “For this matter, I didn’t let Yanyan come back from overseas because I’m afraid they’ll fight if they meet.”
Su Yuntang sighed long, “How’s Yanyan doing over there?”
“Not too good. She doesn’t have any language skills and finds everyday communication very difficult. When she first went there, she would call me every night crying, but now she’s much better and is gradually adapting. I’ve told her that she’s not allowed to come back until she realizes her mistakes. She needs serious introspection this time, she can’t continue to have issues with her sister.”
Su Yuntang nodded frequently as he listened.
Until a ringing phone suddenly interrupted, Su Yuntang picked it up and quickly answered, “Hello, Director Chen. What can I do for you?”
“…”
Jiang Yi got up and had just put away the clothes on the sofa when she heard Su Yuntang say, “Okay, okay, I’ll go over right away.”
She turned her head and looked at her husband in surprise. “What happened?”
“I need to make a trip to the Nancheng Restaurant now. Some city leaders are waiting for me there.” Su Yuntang threw off the quilt and quickly got out of bed.
“But you’re not well yet.”
“The fever is gone, it won’t be a problem.”
“Do you need me to accompany you?”
“No need, I will come back after having a meal. This time it’s probably a work-related discussion. It wouldn’t be convenient for you to go.”
“…Okay.” Jiang Yi nodded, although she felt a bit uneasy inside.
For so many years, as the wife of the Su family, she had an easy life. Her husband had a smooth career, and everything seemed to be perfect.
Su Yuntang had always been kind to her. Even after such a big incident last time, he didn’t lay a hand on her. He only lectured her afterward, but not excessively.
But Jiang Yi always felt uneasy.
What was the reason?
Ya Jin had been dead for twenty years now, so why couldn’t she settle down?
Watching Su Yuntang get dressed, Jiang Yi handed over his briefcase and suddenly said, “Wifey, have you thought about my suggestion of having a second child?”
Su Yuntang was stunned. “Didn’t I already decline this proposition?”
“But I’ve been to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said my body is in excellent condition and I can definitely have another child.”
“You are already considered an elderly pregnant woman, and having a second child is very exhausting.”
“I’m only forty years old, it’s not exhausting. Besides, for you, for the Su family, whatever I do, however tiring it may be, I’m willing to do it, Yuntang.” Jiang Yi looked at her husband, her voice gentle and her eyes affectionate. “I have always wanted to give you a son, you know.”
Su Yuntang’s face showed a touched expression, “Jiang Yi, I really owe you a lot over the years, but as for the idea of a second child, let’s discuss it later. I’ve just taken office and don’t have the extra energy.”
“Okay.” Jiang Yi didn’t force it.
The couple spoke as they went downstairs, Jiang Yi kept sending off Su Yuntang until he drove away, and she waved with a significant smile.

Su Yuntang was rushing to the Nancheng restaurant in his car, but when he was almost there, there was a traffic jam at the intersection.
He checked the time, he was running out of it.
Su Yuntang waited another five minutes, then got out of the car.
The driver looked surprised. “Sir?”
“I can walk over there, you take the car back to the restaurant later.”
“Okay.”
Su Yuntang got out of the car and quickly crossed the traffic to the side of the road.
Today was the 29th of lunar new year, the streets were filled with people doing their New Year’s Shopping, and it seemed like everyone was smiling.
But Su Yuntang couldn’t laugh at all.
After all, he had just taken office, and the senior leaders in the department were dining with several city leaders today. If he, the newly appointed director, was late, it would cause a stir.
Even if he wasn’t well, that was no excuse for being late.
He had schemed and struggled for many years, but the higher the position he held, the more he realized that he needed to be very careful and couldn’t slack off at all…
Su Yuntang, as he was walking, suddenly stopped.
He stared at the familiar red figure in front of him, his eyes wide open, his face showing a series of shocks, and his lips turning white inch by inch.
Finally, he hesitated to say a word, “Ya Jin?”
The woman in front seemed to halt her steps.
Su Yuntang’s heart immediately began to pound, his initial shock turned into surging excitement.
He quickly walked forward, trying to catch up, and kept shouting, “Ya Jin, is that you, Ya Jin?”
Suddenly, he felt a hard blow to his neck.
Su Yuntang felt his vision darken, his body tipping forward, and he fell to the ground, fainting.
The noisy street suddenly had people shouting, “Someone’s been hit! Someone’s been hit! Call 110!”
**
In the hospital room.
Wanwan was sitting on the sofa, watching TV and eating a few slices of oranges.
Then she regretted it.
She thought she shouldn’t have come!
What kind of visit was this!
Obviously, Xiao Yebai, the patient, didn’t seem to welcome her visit at all.
He just sat on his hospital bed coldly, without watching TV, eating, or talking. He was like a mummy.
Finally, Wanwan couldn’t help but get up, “Well, I’m going to go first.”
