Chapter 184: 153 Sun Qing Confronts Someone: Reluctant or Afraid to Meet (1st Update)_1

"Yes, I’m Lei Lai, my sister, she..."

"Miss Lei, if you have something to say, how about we talk inside?" Just as Lei Lai was about to blurt out Lei Wei’s misfortune, Sun Qing timely stopped her.

She did it for Lei Wei, seeing that they were both women.

After all, she and Tang Su had always adhered to the principle that women should not make life difficult for other women.

"Talk inside? Sun Qing, what’s this, feeling guilty after doing something wrong?" Lei Lai didn’t give Sun Qing any face and coldly taunted her.

"Feeling guilty? May I ask, Miss Lei, what have I done to feel guilty about?" Sun Qing’s politeness towards Lei Lai wasn’t out of guilt, but to maintain the dignity of both parties. Since Lei Lai wasn’t interested, what did she have to be afraid of?

"You ask what you’ve done? Don’t think that just by paying my sister’s hospitalization fees, the matter is settled. My sister’s child is gone, you owe her compensation for all her losses, one million."

Lei Lai shouted, seemingly unafraid of letting others know about her sister’s unwed pregnancy.

"...What? The child is gone?" Sun Qing was somewhat in disbelief. On the day of hospitalization, Lei Wei’s unborn child was fine; how could it suddenly be gone?

Yesterday, she and her colleagues went to visit the hospital together. She only stayed for a while, and Lei Wei’s complexion wasn’t very good—staying in the hospital every day can do that—but her spirit was okay.

As for Lei Lai’s demand for one million, it was not the main focus of Sun Qing’s attention.

The demand made by Lei Lai caused the surrounding employees to gasp. How could this woman make such an outrageous demand?

To Sun Qing and the others, she was just an ordinary worker, earning a few thousand yuan a month. If their career prospects didn’t rise or break through, they might never earn a million in their lives.

Without eating or drinking?

There were also some employees who noticed that Lei Lai mentioned her sister’s child was gone. Wasn’t Manager Lei hospitalized for a gynecological disease?

So it wasn’t a gynecological issue but the loss of a child?

That’s too...

No one had heard about Manager Lei dating anyone. Moreover, her demeanor at work was no different from that of a spiteful old witch, leading everyone to believe it was due to hormonal imbalance.

In fact, during casual dinners among the staff, they used Manager Lei as a vivid, bloody example to urge everyone to start dating sooner.

Otherwise, holding back for too long could turn oneself into a freak.

So, Manager Lei was not only dating but also had a child?

This was the most terrifying joke before the end of the year.

"Yes, the child is gone. The doctor said that it will be very difficult for her to get pregnant again in the future. Sun Qing, looking at you, me asking for one million isn’t much, right? You’ve possibly made my sister infertile for life."

"It’s not that, Miss Lei, Manager Lei clearly saved the child that day, how could this happen?"

"You don’t believe me, do you? I think you’ve forgotten what the doctor said that day. They only temporarily saved it; it wasn’t completely out of danger, which is why they kept her in the hospital for observation."

"However, the tragedy still happened last night."

"Last night?" Sun Qing still couldn’t believe it was true.

Plus, she overheard the conversation between Lei Wei and Zheng Cheng in the ward that day, which was not pleasant.

Zheng Cheng didn’t want Lei Wei to have the child. However, if Zheng Cheng were the one confronting her on behalf of Lei Wei today, she definitely would have suspected his motives weren’t pure.

But it was Lei Lai who came forward, Lei Wei’s sister.

Being the elder sister, it made sense that she’d confront her over the loss of her sister’s child.

At this very moment, Sun Qing’s brain was whirling at breakneck speed.

Lei Lai was Lei Wei’s elder sister. Since Lei Wei and Zheng Cheng had fallen out, if it was true that Zheng Cheng had gone out of his way to cause Lei Wei to lose her child, was there a possibility that Lei Lai was instigated by Zheng Cheng to find someone to take the fall?

After all, the child was gone.

The three of them could easily join forces to target her.

But that’s not right either, she hadn’t even had a direct confrontation with Zheng Cheng yet. As someone who was honestly and diligently working in a branch company, given her modest salary, it wouldn’t make sense for her to make such an outrageous demand for a million yuan.

If she had been discovered to be the young mistress of the Sun Family, wouldn’t it be unreasonable for Lei Lai to only ask for a million yuan from her? At the very least, it should start from three to five million yuan, right?

So, has her identity been seen through by that old fox Zheng Cheng?

Zheng Cheng, a sly and astute old fox, contributed enormously to the development of their company, but her grandfather had never had much private association with him.

When she was younger, she would see Zheng Cheng occasionally visiting their home, and at that time, she would properly address him as Uncle Zheng.

Her father was uninterested in taking over the company, fooling around with women, engaging in art, neglecting the company, the household, and paying no attention to her and her brother.

Initially, if her father had been useless and unable to prop up the wall, she wouldn’t have resented him, but he was especially kind to the women outside and also to the children he had with them.

That was when Sun Qing began to detest her father.

Were the children outside his children, and were she and her elder brother not?

This discrimination was too severe.

Without their father’s guidance, her elder brother also became very self-willed and so did she. Their grandfather pampered them as children, nurturing them with happiness.

As they grew up, they realized neither of the siblings was reliable.

Otherwise, their grandfather wouldn’t still be the old hand in the company at seventy, supporting himself despite so many health issues.

Fortunately, they had now coaxed her into the company.

Sun Qing was aware of her grandfather’s plan. Her brother didn’t care about the company, and her grandfather didn’t like the children her father had with other women, so her grandfather tried every way to force her to take over.

He was also very keen on finding her a suitable husband.

Sun Qing’s mind was racing, occasionally straying off topic, but she promptly brought it back on track.

On the other hand, Lei Lai was growing impatient, "What, you don’t believe it? If you don’t believe me, let’s go to the hospital to see for ourselves right now."

"It’s not that, Miss Lei, it’s not that we don’t believe you, but we just visited Manager Lei at the hospital yesterday during the day, and it all seemed too sudden, that’s all," Sun Yaoyao, who was usually close to Sun Qing and shared the same surname, stepped forward to explain for Sun Qing.

"Hmph, and who are you? Did I speak to you? Why are you butting in here?" Lei Lai snapped back at Sun Yaoyao directly.

"She’s a colleague from the company. Isn’t it normal to chime in when there’s something one doesn’t understand?" Sun Qing backed her up and then faced Lei Lai with composure, "Miss Lei, how about we go to the hospital right now and clarify this matter in front of Manager Lei?"

"My sister, she doesn’t want to see you," Lei Lai, caught off guard by the younger woman’s calmness, subconsciously refused.

"Oh, is it that she doesn’t want to see me, or is it that she dares not see me?" Sun Qing raised an eyebrow.

Lei Lai: "..."
