Chapter 144 Despairing of Hope
Gao Qinghe and her brother returned from the hospital with deathly pale faces.

Gao Qingmiao remembered to change her clothes before going out; she looked somewhat presentable.

Gao Qinghe hadn't even had time to change out of her pajamas, and at this moment she looked as if her life essence had been drained by a male ghost, exuding a faint sense of death all over her body.

The security guard was terrified when he saw the siblings return looking like this.

Gao Qinghe grinned and gave him a smirk. "Uncle, I'm going to make a phone call home."

The security guard quickly pushed the phone to the window and cautiously asked, "Nothing serious happened, right? Are you alright?"

Gao Qinghe shook her head sadly, "I'm fine, thank you for your concern."

I picked up the phone and dialed home.

At 6:30 in the morning, only Grandma Tian got up at home.

The old lady answered the phone somewhat awkwardly, shouting loudly, "Hello!" "Who is it?"

Gao Qinghe: "Grandma, it's me. I have something to tell you. We'll put the wedding on hold for now and talk about it later. Please inform the relatives."

Explain clearly why Jiang Baohai was hospitalized and why the wedding was postponed.

She also asked her grandmother to tell Huang Yanqiu to come to the county town as soon as possible.

Gao Qinghe hung up the phone, gave the security guard some money for a pack of cigarettes, and went home.

On the way back, Gao Qingmiao passed by a vegetable market and bought two spare ribs and a lot of pig's blood.

As the saying goes, you can replenish what you eat; the lost blood can only be replenished by eating blood.

Gao Qinghe closed the door to her room and went to sleep.

Gao Qingmiao had just dozed off at the hospital and wasn't very sleepy, but she mustered her energy to start stewing the ribs.

Once the soup is cooked, add the greens and pieces of pig's blood. Dip it in two bowls of homemade chili sauce; it's quite delicious.

After dinner, Gao Qinghe noticed that her younger brother didn't look well, so she told him to go back to his room and rest for a while.

Gao Qingmiao glanced at her sister with some worry, "Sis, are we canceling the wedding?"

Gao Qinghe took the bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen sink and waited for her younger brother to wake up so he could wash them. She replied casually, "I'll see."

Thinking about her brother-in-law's current situation, Gao Qingmiao nodded; it was indeed too late.

However, since they have already obtained their marriage certificate, they are legally married.

"Should we have Mom and Dad come?" Gao Qingmiao asked.

Gao Qinghe waved her hand, "He'll be fine with someone taking care of him."

Gao Qingmiao: "."

I've always felt that something's off about my sister since she came back from the hospital.

He must have been too tired.

"So, now that you're awake, I'll go keep watch at the hospital tonight?"

Gao Qinghe looked him up and down as if she didn't recognize her younger brother. "Gao Qingmiao, are you overflowing with compassion?"

Gao Qingmiao scratched her head, "Isn't that my brother-in-law? He's in such a big situation, shouldn't we help him out as much as possible?"

That's right.

But how could an old man dare to lie to her? Letting him off so easily would be too lenient!

"Don't worry about this. His family isn't all dead. His mother and sister are still alive. It's none of your business."

If Jiang's mother and Jiang Yu are both ineffective, then there's still her, isn't there?

Gao Qinghe waved her hand impatiently, "Get lost, go catch up on your sleep!"

I stayed up all night and lost so much blood this time; it might take two days of sleep to recover.

Knowing that her brother-in-law would take care of her, Gao Qingmiao went back to her room to sleep with peace of mind.

Gao Qinghe lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to calm down.

"Damn system, come out here, let's settle our accounts."

The system, which was unusually quiet today, was suddenly called out. If it had any fur, it would have exploded right now.

It didn't make a sound, but Gao Qinghe knew that the creature was definitely listening.

"Tell me honestly, when did you realize that Jiang Baohai was acting strangely?"

The system weakly spoke up: "If I tell you, will you stop bullying me?" Gao Qinghe grinned maliciously: "Knowing the consequences are serious, you still dare to hide it. Little system, I think you're going to die young."

Waaaaah—I knew you'd bully me!

Gao Qinghe, too lazy to listen to its whining, said in a deep voice, "Speak!"

System: [When you two first met on a blind date, I noticed that Jiang Baohai's feelings for you were unusually strong.]

Gao Qinghe sneered, "You discovered it so early, and you still didn't report it?"

The system huffed and puffed out: [They clearly warned you! You were just too dense to notice!]

Gao Qinghe stared in disbelief. How dare this damn system call her stupid?

Is it a question of whether she's stupid or not?

Who in their right mind would imagine that there are two people who are reborn in a book!

Looking back now, Jiang Baohai had actually revealed his true colors long ago, but she was too carefree and never considered the possibility of rebirth.

"When did he get reborn? Before I came back?"

"Does he have a system? Why can he be reborn?"

At this moment, Gao Qinghe even doubted whether she was dreaming and that the world in front of her was an illusion.

She hardened her heart and pinched her arm hard. The excruciating pain spread throughout her body, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

That's so damn real!

System: [I don't know why he was able to be reborn, but I'm certain he doesn't have a system with him. This is the Good Woman System; it won't bind to a male host.]

Gao Qinghe: "Are you subtly implying that I'm stupid again?"

System: [You said it, I didn't!]

However, based on my observations and analysis, he was reborn six months earlier than you.

Gao Qinghe thought about the old man's state after waking up from the anesthesia and the things he said.

What do you mean by forgiving her? What do you mean by feeling cold, lonely, and empty?

It's not hard to imagine that this poor old man may have, probably, or perhaps really had been in prison.

"He questioned me about why I didn't visit him, which means that during that time I must have disappeared from the previous world and come to this world."

"Tsk tsk~" Gao Qinghe suddenly wasn't so angry anymore.

The old man, all alone, must have been desperately hoping she would come to rescue him.

No wonder, no wonder he acted like he wanted her to suffer a terrible fate when they first met on their blind date.

It turns out that she was feeling wronged, sad, and hurt.

System: [So you're planning to go to the hospital to take care of him?]

"I'll shine my light on him!"

Gao Qinghe snorted, "He discovered long ago that I had also been reborn, yet he still managed to keep quiet and put on an act in front of me, deliberately trying to make a fool of me."

Now, when Gao Qinghe recalls what she did in front of Jiang Baohai, she can dig a three-bedroom, two-living-room house out of her toes.

"Let him suffer!"

Overwhelmed by a fierce competitive spirit, Gao Qinghe pulled the blanket over her face and fell into a deep sleep.

In the evening, there was a knock on the door.

Gao Qinghe stretched and got out of bed to open the door, but Gao Qingmiao had already opened the door first.

Huang Yanqiu has arrived.

Zheng Laowu followed behind, carrying a suitcase, clearly indicating that he planned to stay in the county town for a long time.

Gao Qinghe woke up instantly from her drowsiness and pulled Huang Yanqiu into the kitchen alone.

"Why did you bring him along?" He glanced at Zheng Laowu.

Huang Yanqiu didn't have time to answer that.

As soon as she entered the room, she noticed that Gao Qinghe looked unwell and asked anxiously:

"What's wrong? You look so pale. Are you sick? Should we go to the hospital?"
