Li Qiyu gritted her teeth and ignored Song Yunsheng's sarcasm. She knew that Song Yunsheng was trying to break down her psychological defenses. Once she fell for it, she would be trapped.
"What are the conditions?" The lawyer was still very gentle.
"The qualifications of the hospital and the doctors must be verified by our side."
The lawyer nodded. This was reasonable.
After Li Qiyu finished speaking, she stood up and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Song Yunsheng.
"Hey, why are you in such a hurry? Seize the day. Let's go for the check today."
Li Qiyu looked at the aggressive Song Yunsheng and said irritably, "You may have time, but I don't. I still have to handle my husband's funeral affairs. Wait until you find a hospital and then inform me."
As Li Qiyu stood up and walked towards the door, her heart was in her mouth. She was afraid that Song Yunsheng would stop her again and force her to go to the hospital for the check.
Thankfully, Song Yunsheng didn't make things difficult for her this time. Only when she reached the door did Li Qiyu dare to let out a sigh of relief. She didn't even know how she managed to walk out of the law firm's door. As soon as she got to the door, her legs went weak. It was Li Juan who was quick - eyed and quick - handed to support her, preventing her from falling.
Li Juan was just about to ask with concern when Li Qiyu grabbed her hand and said, "Let's talk when we get back."
The three of them returned to the hotel.
Since Song Yi'an's car accident, Li Qiyu had been too scared to go back on that road. The hotel was considerate enough to arrange another room for her. They even offered to visit Song Yi'an several times.
However, Li Qiyu was extremely paranoid now. She didn't dare to let outsiders know where Song Yi'an was. Moreover, the staff from the front desk to the manager of this hotel had taken too much care of her. She was really afraid of Song Yunsheng's schemes, so she declined all their offers.
When Li Qiyu and the others returned to the hotel, they bumped into a man at the hotel entrance. The man deliberately pulled down his cap when he saw them and brushed past them.
This man was acting furtively.
When Li Qiyu, the chief secretary, and Li Juan were taking the elevator, the chief secretary finally remembered. He slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, what a bad memory I have! I just thought the man looked familiar, but why didn't I remember at that time! Isn't he one of Song Yunsheng's men?"
"One of Song Yunsheng's men?" Li Qiyu suddenly felt a bit panicked. If Song Yunsheng's man was at the hotel, did it mean that he knew she was pregnant and was going to take action against her?
Li Qiyu wasn't afraid of other things. She was only afraid that the fact that she wasn't pregnant would be exposed.
"No, we must move out."
Back in the room, Li Qiyu and Li Juan started packing their things. The chief secretary, being a man, didn't feel it was appropriate to interfere. He took this opportunity to discuss with Li Qiyu.
"Madam, they will surely find a hospital for your check - up soon. How are we going to deal with it then?"
"We'll cross that bridge when we come to it." Li Qiyu didn't have a good solution at the moment. The reason the current hospital could issue a certificate was all thanks to the chief secretary's excellent connections from years of working with Mr. Song. If they really went to a public hospital and followed all the procedures, the outcome would be hard to predict.
Li Juan came up with a bad idea: "How about we find a pregnant woman and let her go for the check on that day?"
"Who is Song Yunsheng? He will surely keep an eye on it. This won't work. It's too risky. If we're exposed, it will be like confessing our guilt."
The three of them looked at each other and sighed.
Each of them was calling out to Song Yi'an in their hearts.
Mr. Song, please wake up quickly. If you don't wake up soon, this secret won't be able to be hidden.
After packing their things, Li Qiyu went to the front desk to check out.
As soon as the receptionist heard that she was checking out, she panicked and quickly asked, "Miss Li, is there anything that our hotel didn't serve you well?"
Li Qiyu didn't dare to say that the hotel had served her poorly.
Not only did they not charge Li Qiyu, but they also delivered three meals a day to her room. During this period when she was in the hospital taking care of Song Yi'an, they also thoughtfully prepared boxed lunches for her to take to the hospital. The dishes were all delicious and nourishing. Moreover, they were so meticulous that after they learned that Li Qiyu was pregnant, they even avoided the foods that pregnant women shouldn't eat.
This kind of service was better than most hotels, and even family members might not be this considerate.
Li Qiyu couldn't say that she suspected the hotel was colluding with Song Yunsheng to harm her. She just made up an excuse and said, "I have some private matters to attend to, so I have to leave."
Normally, guests only need to tell the front desk to check out. But it was very troublesome for Li Qiyu. The receptionist looked embarrassed and said to Li Qiyu, "Miss Li, please wait a moment. I'll ask our manager."
Checking out? Did they really need to ask the manager?
Soon, the manager came. He looked apologetic and asked the same question as the receptionist: "Is there anything that our hotel didn't take good care of you?"
Li Qiyu was extremely helpless and repeated, "You've been great. It's just that I want to leave."
The hotel manager glanced at Li Juan who was standing behind Li Qiyu and made a gesture of invitation to Li Qiyu.
"Miss Li, could I have a word with you in private?"
The hotel manager led Li Qiyu to the office. Li Juan wanted to follow in but was stopped by the hotel manager.
"I'm very sorry. Please let me have a private conversation with Miss Li."
Li Juan didn't dare to go far. She just stood at the door of the manager's office waiting for Li Qiyu.
Li Qiyu actually had a good impression of this hotel manager. After all, since she checked into this hotel, it was this manager who had taken care of her daily life. But now the manager looked so mysterious that she was a bit confused.
At this moment, the suspiciousness that Song Yunsheng had forced out of her made her start to have wild thoughts.
After closing the door, the hotel manager stated his position.
"I'm very sorry, Miss Li. At this critical moment, I must ensure your personal safety. I won't be at ease if you go to another hotel. Please cooperate with my work."
Hearing this, Li Qiyu just wanted to laugh.
"I'm just a guest staying in your hotel. You're not my parents. I haven't paid you to protect me. Aren't you just making trouble for yourselves?"
The hotel manager still had that respectful attitude: "I'm very sorry, Miss Li. If you're not satisfied with your stay, please tell us. We will definitely correct it. But please stay in the hotel. Our hotel will do our best to protect your safety. This is not only our responsibility to you but also to our boss."
"Your boss?" Li Qiyu was getting more and more confused. "I just want to check out. What does it have to do with your boss?"
