Tang Baijin was also aware that today was Zhang Yulian’s trial, and he made a phone call to her as soon as it was over.

"Did you attend Zhang Yulian’s trial?" Tang Baijin asked her.

"Yes!" Tian Xin responded to him, "But the result wasn’t very satisfying!"

Tang Baijin directly asked her, "Did you see Yang Junyi? You’re heartbroken!"

Tian Xin bit her lip, "Past events always bring some sentimentality! By the way, where are you? It’s so hot at noon, are you still on the construction site? Remember to drink some herbal tea, don’t get heatstroke!"

Hearing this, Tang Baijin naturally felt warmth in his heart, he said, "I’ll send you a picture on WeChat in a bit!"

"Okay!" Tian Xin put down her phone and opened WeChat to look.

The picture on WeChat showed Tang Baijin standing on a huge rock, with the scorching midday sun in the sky, resembling a fiery red ball, blazing the earth.

In the picture, he was wearing a safety helmet and blue work clothes as well. An unknowing person would never guess that this architect would personally involve himself on a construction site.

Tian Xin replied to him on WeChat: "It’s so hot, and you’re still under the sun? Not only you but the workers must be suffering as well!"

She saw that Tang Baijin had not replied for a long time and thought he was busy. At this moment, she opened the missed call notification on her phone and saw Yang Junyi’s number.

Although she felt a bit sad, she still redialed the number, only to hear a message from him: "This is Yang Junyi, I’m at the operating table, I’ll get back to you later."

Tian Xin set down her phone and felt that it had been a long time since she last visited Bei Ran, so she drove directly to the lakeside villa.

...

Hospital.

After Yang Junyi came down from the operating table and was about to return to his office, he saw a girl calling him: "Doctor Yang, hello!"

"Miss Yang..." Yang Junyi nodded, "Are you here to see a doctor?"

Yang Wanyin ran over and said excitedly, "Last time I came, they said you were no longer practicing as a doctor. It’s nice to see you still at the hospital today!"

She had injured her ankle in a trap last time, and it was Yang Junyi who was the attending physician!

Yang Junyi gave a slight smile but didn’t say much.

"I have a headache and a runny nose, and it seems a bit hard to breathe." Yang Wanyin said, "I’m going to the outpatient clinic for treatment first!"

"Okay!" Yang Junyi, thinking of calling Tian Xin again, quickly returned to his office.

Back in his office, Yang Junyi picked up his phone and saw a call from Tian Xin. He dialed back joyfully, "Tian Xin, I’m really sorry about this morning at the courthouse, please don’t blame my father, I apologize to you, okay?"

"It’s fine, Junyi..." Tian Xin was eating cold watermelon at Bei Ran’s house, "You don’t need to worry about it, I won’t blame your uncle."

For a moment, both of them fell silent.

Tian Xin wouldn’t get mad at Yang’s father; it was just a little heartache. Yang Junyi, caught in the middle, was also in a difficult situation.

Yang Junyi felt that he couldn’t give Tian Xin happiness, and with his father’s accusations, he felt he had let Tian Xin down!

"Let’s leave it at that for now!" Tian Xin said, "You go handle the second trial."

"Okay!" Yang Junyi also hung up quickly, although he felt reluctant, what else could he do?

Tian Xin took a bite of the watermelon, saw Bei Ran watching her, and asked, "What’s up? Do I have watermelon seeds on my face?"

Bei Ran dared not eat frozen foods, fearing they might be too cold for the baby. Instead, she ate an apple, "I heard a WeChat notification sound!"

"It’s mine!" Tian Xin immediately opened her phone; it was a message from Tang Baijin. His message was short, indicating that he wasn’t very adept at using the text function.

Tian Xin’s fingers flew over the touchscreen, "Young Master Tang, you’ve grown old, soon you’ll be Old Master Tang..."

As she sent the message, her lips curled into a smile.

Bei Ran, chewing on her apple, thought to herself. Tian Xin and Tang Baijin had known each other for a long time, and only now sparks of love had kindled. Fate really is a strange thing!

After experiencing a love that was engraved in her bones, Tian Xin found another unexpected love, perhaps even she didn’t realize that between her and Tang Baijin, a joyful tacit understanding was spreading.

But the players are lost in the game, whilst spectators see it clear.

Within this maze, Tian Xin oscillated between uproarious laughter and bewildered uncertainty.

Bei Ran, an outsider, saw it all clearly—it seems that summer is the season when love blooms abundantly! Many friends are reaping the fruits of love.

In love, there is never right or wrong; it’s just about meeting the wrong person at the right time, and the right person at the wrong time.

Life is like a train that keeps moving and stopping; there’s a different landscape along the way, people get off and on, but there’s always one person who, at different stations, accompanies you all the way to the end.

Bei Ran has devoted her life to Gu Qingchen.

As for Tian Xin, she is still on her journey, encountering different people along the way, but she believes that Tang Baijin will make a good husband!

After sending a message on WeChat, Tian Xin saw Bei Ran looking at her with a smile and pouted, "Why are you smiling like that?"

"Laughing at your blooming love life!" Bei Ran bit into an apple, "Junyi is back, isn’t he?"

"Junyi and I are truly impossible," Tian Xin said, "You know, I can hardly endure being aggrieved and compliant! Yang’s father has a strong prejudice against me, and I definitely can’t live with him. So, some relationships, once they’re over, they’re over."

Bei Ran nodded: "But what if Junyi doesn’t think this way?"

"Anyway, let’s just let matters of the heart unfold naturally!" Tian Xin continued eating her watermelon, "Where did you buy this from? It’s so thin-skinned, juicy, and sweet!"

"I don’t know, Qingchen bought it," Bei Ran said after eating an apple. "There’s more downstairs, take one back for your uncle and aunt to enjoy later."

Before Tian Xin left, she took a watermelon to her car, and seeing Bei Ran living a very happy life, she, as a good friend, also felt very happy for her.

...

Since her health improved, Ji Su’s work had also become busier.

Gu Yucheng hadn’t sought her out these past few days, and she was aware that the verdict against her mother had been announced. She had no reaction to this outcome.

Ji Su circled the date of her follow-up checkup. Although she felt there was nothing wrong, she decided to go for the follow-up anyway.

Upon arriving at the hospital, she did not seek out Doctor He Chenxiang, as she did not wish to have any interaction with him. Since she couldn’t provide He Chenxiang with the happiness he desired, it was better to not give him false hope.

Before her follow-up, while she was queuing up in the corridor waiting for her number to be called, Yang’s father saw her and came over to settle scores with her: "Was it you who sought Gu Yucheng’s help to bribe the judge with a lot of money, which is why Zhang Yulian was sentenced to prison?"

"Of course not..." Ji Su quickly explained, "Yucheng is not that kind of person!"

"He’s wealthy and influential; bribing a judge would have been easy for him." Yang’s father did not believe she hadn’t done it!

Ji Su defended, "Yucheng is indeed wealthy and powerful, but he also despises my mother. It was he who called the police on her; how could he possibly do something to help her in front of the judge?"

"Then it must have been you!" Yang’s father said ferociously.

"I didn’t either..." Ji Su shook her head, "I wasn’t even present on the day of the verdict."

"Just because you weren’t there, doesn’t mean you didn’t do anything..." Yang’s father was relentless, "You do understand, she clearly committed intentional murder, so why was it ruled as manslaughter?"

Ji Su sadly said, "I’m deeply sorry for the death of your wife, but as for my mother’s case, both Yucheng and I really didn’t intervene. Moreover, how the judge rules is based on the law. It’s not something you and I can just talk about and decide..."

"If it was really Gu Yucheng who called the cops on Zhang Yulian, why are you still with him?" Yang’s father obviously doubted this outcome.

Ji Su did not reply; her grievances and grudges with Gu Yucheng were too ancient. Without Zhang Yulian, their lives might have been very good, she thought.

"This has nothing to do with you." Ji Su turned to leave, but Yang’s father reached out to grab her.

Just then, He Chenxiang happened to pass by. He stepped forward, pulling Ji Su behind him, recognizing Yang Junyi’s father, "Uncle, why be rough with a woman? If there’s a problem, let’s talk it out nicely!"

Yang’s father became even more unreasonable, "You’re also shielding her, aren’t you? You’re all protecting her family..."

Seeing Yang’s father agitated, He Chenxiang quickly said to Ji Su, "My office is right here. You can sit inside for a moment. I’ll take him to Junyi. I see he is not in a good mood, which can easily lead to accidents."

"All right!" Ji Su nodded urgently, "Please, go quickly! Let Junyi take good care of him. I’m truly sorry for what happened to his wife..."

"It’s okay, don’t blame yourself!" He Chenxiang opened the door for her to enter, then quickly went to support Yang’s father and asked a nurse to find Yang Junyi.

Once Yang Junyi heard his father was causing trouble for Ji Su, he immediately rushed over, "Doctor He, I really appreciate it. Please apologize to Miss Ji on my behalf. My dad has been provoked, and he tends to become emotionally agitated and speak rashly."

"I will, you should go take care of him now!" He Chenxiang said.

He Chenxiang returned to his office to find Ji Su sitting on the sofa with her medical records in hand.

"Here for a follow-up today?" He Chenxiang asked her.

"Yes!" Ji Su nodded.

He Chenxiang noticed she hadn’t registered for his consultation, and gazed at her, "What’s wrong? Intentionally avoiding me?"

"Not really!" Ji Su looked at him, "Thanks for earlier. I just feel that I’m not the good woman you think of in your heart. As I can’t give you love, it’s better for us to forget each other."

He Chenxiang chuckled, "In the hospital, I am only your doctor, outside of it, we’re just friends, no need to overthink it!"

It wasn’t that Ji Su was overthinking; it’s just that dealing with Gu Yucheng was so troublesome!

The memory of Gu Yucheng punishing her in the Western restaurant made her blush and heart race uncontrollably.

After examining her, He Chenxiang announced, "You’re already healed, no need to worry."
