Chapter 1556: Encounter (5)

Her soft voice came through, and her calm breath started to fade. He reached out, trying to grab her subconsciously. However, she had already turned around.

“I’m leaving now. You should go back too. It’s time to rush back to your office.” As she bade him goodbye, her indifferent crimson lip line twitched, and before he could respond to her reaction, she had already walked towards the boarding gate. Her slender figure then disappeared in the aisle in front of him.

Qi Lei suppressed his urge to chase after her. He raised his hand and touched his lips as he felt the warmth on them dissipate. Only then did he realize that the people around him were staring at him, and he immediately felt a slight warmth on his cheeks for no special reason. He cleared his throat and took one last glimpse at the empty aisle before lowering his head silently. Then. he turned around and left…

As he passed through the VIP passageway, the enchanting scene kept on appearing in his mind. While he walked towards the exit of the airport, there was the sound of disordered footsteps coming from behind him. Then, there was a thud as if something had fallen to the ground.

Qi Lei turned around to take a look subconsciously, only to witness a middle-aged woman on the ground in the aisle. On the side, there was another woman, who was also wearing a black formal suit, trying to help the middle-aged woman get back on her feet. While doing so, she anxiously asked out of concern, “Attorney Song, are you okay? You haven’t been resting for the past three days. It can’t be delayed any longer. If not, you’ll collapse before the court.”

The woman known as Attorney Song looked exceptionally pale. The dark circles under her eyes were so obvious that even the makeup that she applied on her face could not hide her fatigue. The woman beside her should be her assistant. She was carrying a few bags and briefcases in her hands, hence it was not convenient for her to move around at the moment.

“I’m fine. The Tian Hai case must be won. The opponent’s tone sounded very affirmative, so they must still have something else up their sleeve. We can’t afford to lose this battle. Otherwise, we don’t need to rush this.” The middle-aged woman stood up, pressed against the wall with one hand for some support, while her other hand was applying pressure to her abdomen area. However, her sight went dark suddenly and she dropped to the ground again before she could stand back up.

“Attorney Song!” When the woman beside her saw this, her expression changed all of a sudden. She reached out to try to support her, and everything she was carrying scattered to the ground.

Qi Lei hesitated for a split second before he approached them immediately and grabbed Attorney Song, who had dropped to the ground out cold. He said in his deep voice, “Let’s send her to the hospital.”

“Yes, please, yes. Thank you. Miss Song hasn’t slept much for days. She must’ve burned herself out. She also hasn’t been eating well, and her complexion has been very pallid these few days. Her stomach has never been at its best…” the younger woman explained while catching up with them.

“Let’s get her to the hospital for an examination first. She doesn’t look very good.” Qi Lei picked her up directly and rushed towards the exit.

…

The car rushed to the hospital in the city. There was a hint of anxiety in Qi Lei’s eyes too as he had already guessed the identity of Attorney Song.

She should be the mother-in-law that he had not gotten the chance to meet yet, was she not?

No wonder she looked very familiar to him. Such celebrities often appeared in front of the media, and she had single-handedly won the lawsuit between Gu Qiwu and Doris. She was the reason why Gu Qiwu beat Doris in court that easily.

Besides, it seemed that Dongfang Liuyun inherited some of her prepossessing facial features, which was why Qi Lei did not doubt his judgment at all. He also seemed to recall that Dongfang Liuyun also referred to her mother as Miss Song.

Song Siting had woken up in the back seat when they were halfway to the hospital. She then said feebly, “Pull over ahead.”

“Miss Song, you’re up!” Her assistant glanced at her in relief.

“It’s better if you go to the hospital for an examination. You don’t look too well,” Qi Lei decelerated the car and advised her.

“There’s no need to go to the hospital. I haven’t had enough rest, which gave me an upset stomach. That’s it. I just need to get back home, get some rest, and I’ll be fine. Thank you for your concern and help, kind young man,” Song Siting thanked Qi Lei gratefully, “I need to get back to my firm for an important matter, so just pull over ahead. And if you don’t mind, Xiao Yu will take your phone number down. I’ll repay your kindness when there’s a chance.”

“Miss Song, I think you should go to the hospital for…”

Song Siting shot Xiao Yu a stern glare before she could finish the sentence.

…

Qi Lei gave it a thought and did not insist on it. He pulled the car over at a bus stop ahead to make it easier for them to call for a cab.

When the car stopped, Qi Lei turned his head to the back of the car and exhorted, “Your body plays a crucial role in your success in life, so do take good care of yourself, Miss Song.”

“Of course, thank you, young man. This is my business card. I owe you one for what happened today. I hope we’ll see each other soon.” Song Siting cast a gaze at Xiao Yu when she said so, and the latter nodded while handing a business card to Qi Lei.

Qi Lei received the card in silence and politely nodded at the two women. Both of them then got out of the car after that…

He did not stay for another second longer as he started the car and drove off immediately.

Watching Qi Lei’s car drive off, Song Siting took a deep cold breath and found somewhere to sit down. She took out a bottle of pills from her handbag instantly, poured a few pills out, and took the medicine with the water that Xiao Yu handed her. After a while, her condition and pain lifted. However, her back was already slightly drenched due to all the cold sweat.

“Miss Song, I’ll work a little harder these days and try to prepare as much information as possible. You should just rest well for a while. Your condition doesn’t look good at all. You’ll fall ill if this continues,” Xiao Yu said worriedly. After several days of working from dawn to dusk, and from dusk to dawn, she could not bear to witness it anymore. Although she knew that Miss Song had always been an absolute workaholic, she could not help but worry about her current condition.

Furthermore, she was already in her fifties, so how could she live through such an excruciating working style?

Song Siting grabbed the tissue paper that Xiao Yu passed to her, her stern gaze fading gradually. She then took a breath as her voice was filled with fatigue and faintness. “I have to get through this even if my condition is bad. This case is way too important. If we were to fail, our opponent might start to plot something else with Dongfang Ren. In the end, the party who would suffer will be…Forget about that, you have to keep this matter a secret. We can’t afford to alert the opponent by acting rashly, so just act as though we don’t know anything.”

“Miss Song, we’d better tell President Gan about the stakes in this matter. Otherwise, we may not be able to handle such a huge agenda,” Xiao Yu advised with a frown.

Song Siting heaved a sigh of relief while her expression dimmed for an instant. “Do you think he wouldn’t know?”
