Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path

Chapter 904: Chapter 904: Not Afraid

The family accompanied her to report to the police, directly seeking out Wang Jianshan, the head of the police station.

The subsequent matters were entrusted to Wang Jianshan.

Due to these connections and Gu Lingling’s special instructions, Zhao Jingmiao’s situation was kept under wraps, and the arrest of Liu Guozhu was carried out secretly.

But just because it wasn’t exposed doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

Zhao Jingmiao directly applied for a one-month sick leave from the transformer factory to rest at home.

This unusual occurrence naturally drew the attention of some people, including Lei Xingjun who has always liked Zhao Jingmiao.

The two of them were doing well originally, and Lei Xingjun thought it wouldn’t be long before he could marry Zhao Jingmiao; he’d even mentioned it to his family.

His parents were very open-minded, leaving decisions about his marriage entirely up to him.

Of course, Zhao Jingmiao had a good reputation at the transformer factory and was an ambitious girl, which was one of the reasons his parents agreed.

But suddenly, Zhao Jingmiao took leave, without any warning. He only found out she took sick leave when he went looking for her and couldn’t find her.

How did she suddenly become ill?

Just a couple of days ago, she seemed fine. She had even told him not to come see her that afternoon because she had to help a colleague look at curtains.

When Lei Xingjun arrived, Zhao Jingmiao had just finished drinking her medicine.

It was birth control soup.

Grandma Yao had made it, claiming it wouldn’t harm a girl’s body, but needed to be drunk consistently for several days.

Upon hearing he was here, she paused and promptly drank the medicine in one gulp.

”If you don’t want to see him, I can tell him to leave,” Gu Lingling said.

”No need,” Zhao Jingmiao said softly, handing him the bowl, ”He’ll find out sooner or later.”

Solve it early to avoid delaying him.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jingmiao’s heart was bleeding.

Gu Lingling nodded, tidied her hair, and went to call Lei Xingjun.

Outside, Lei Xingjun waited with a troubled heart.

He’d visited the Zhao Family twice before, and each time Gu Chunmei had been especially warm towards him, looking at him like a son-in-law. But this time, he sensed a change in the house as soon as he walked in.

The two elders’ faces were full of worry, and even Zhao Xuefei seemed to have a kind of suppressed sadness when he saw him.

What exactly is going on?

Lei Xingjun felt something major must have happened.

Could it be that Zhao Jingmiao has some sort of cancer?

This thought made him jump in shock. No way, Miao Miao had always been healthy.

While he was lost in wild thoughts, Gu Lingling came out, nodded to him, and invited him in.

Though it was only a few steps away, countless scenarios flashed through Lei Xingjun’s mind. If Zhao Jingmiao really has some incurable disease, what should he do?

The moment he saw Zhao Jingmiao, he made up his mind.

If she truly has a serious illness, he won’t abandon her. Even if it means spending everything he has, he would ensure her recovery.

Zhao Jingmiao appeared very pale; her swollen red eyes evidenced that she’d been crying for a long time, making Lei Xingjun’s heart ache. He couldn’t think of anything else, quickly taking several strides to her bedside, ”Miao Miao, we... we’re not afraid.”

Zhao Jingmiao, ”...?”

”Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid,” Lei Xingjun’s thoughts automatically branched out, ”Even if you have some incurable disease, it’s okay, we’ll treat it, definitely cure your illness.”

These few words made Zhao Jingmiao, who had been pretending to be calm, cry again, her face covered in tears.
