Chapter 51 A Wife's Duty

Qu Xiaobo didn't expect Gu Baisheng to turn so emotional so suddenly.

She thought that Gu Baisheng changed her body, so she surely would forget some of her resentment.

But she didn't.

She not only didn't forget, but she was more obsessed with the death of that child.

Qu Xiaobo fell into silence for a while and suddenly asked her, "Are you still in love with Cheng Bi?"

"He was dead."

Gu Baisheng said.

Qu Xiaobo asked again, "Do you love Song Shuang?"

"He's my husband." Gu Baisheng said.

"Who do you love? Cheng Bi or Song Shuang?"

Qu Xiaobo asked again.

Gu Baisheng looked down, "I can't love two people at the same time. If Cheng Bi were alive, I wouldn't marry Song Shuang. But Cheng Bi was dead and Song Shuang took me in during my most difficult time. As repayment..."

"So you learned how to love him?"

Qu Xiaobo looked at Gu Baisheng's eyes and suddenly understood her feelings about Song Shuang.

Gu Baisheng didn't deny it.

Qu Xiaobo was shocked sharply by Gu Baisheng's answer.

She felt sorry for Song Shuang.

And she also felt sorry for Gu Baisheng.

"Have you ever fallen in love with Song Shuang?"

Qu Xiaobo's voice was trembling.

However, Gu Baisheng looked down and said calmly, "He's my husband. I'm his wife. I'll fulfill a wife's duty and love him as much as I could."

Qu Xiaobo nodded. Suddenly, she was choking with sobs for no reason.

She didn't know whether she was moved by Gu Baisheng's regrettable and compromising marriage and love,

Or the huge difference between Song Shuang's effort and reward.

She just for a moment didn't know how to judge the two men Gu Baisheng had loved in her life.

"You'll never forget Cheng Bi, Baisheng."

Gu Baisheng looked down and smiled. She felt like tearing, "I really liked him. If only he were alive."

Qu Xiaobo's heart ached.

On the rest of the way, Gu Baisheng and Qu Xiaobo kept silent.

Qu Xiaobo misread the relationship between Gu Baisheng and Song Shuang.

Yet Gu Baisheng always knew what she was doing.

She married Song Shuang to be Song Shuang's wife and to do what Song Shuang's wife should do.

But she wasn't going to love Song Shuang as she loved Cheng Bi.

From the start to the end, it was Cheng Bi who left unforgettable love in Gu Baisheng's heart.

He was the one who left Gu Baisheng with a child and passed away in his early days.

Qu Xiaobo accompanied Gu Baisheng to the gate guard of the Institute of Special Education.

After explaining intentions, they filled in a register and went inside.

Hearing that someone was finally here to apply for the school doctor, the Vice-principal even came to welcome her in person.

Gu Baisheng was flattered and looked at Qu Xiaobo to see if she was hiding something.

Qu Xiaobo also panicked.

Seeing the Vice-principal taking Gu Baisheng away, she immediately phoned Zhang Kai and asked, "Is there something wrong with the school Baisheng applied to?"

Zhang Kai was fiercely questioned by his girlfriend.

He didn't dare to hide and answered hesitantly, "It's not a big deal."

"Believe it or not, I'll screw your head off when I got home."

Qu Xiaobo threatened Zhang Kai violently.

Zhang Kai's mouth twitched. He said helplessly, "The students in that Institute of Special Education are... a bit unusual."

"What do you mean?"

Qu Xiaobo thought it was something big.

Zhang Kai mumbled, "It's just that... some kids are disabled. They're a bit special, so..."

"So it's called the Institute of Special Education?"

Qu Xiaobo raced to say the second half of the sentence.

Zhang Kai nodded, "Yes."

"Yes? How dare you?" Qu Xiaobo scolded him angrily, "I think that school is an extremely dangerous place, right? No one would apply there, right?"

"Not really. Sometimes those who are ready to risk everything would also apply for a job there."

"What do you mean by ready to risk everything?"

Qu Xiaobo gritted her teeth.

This jerk was pushing her Gu Baisheng into a fire pit.

When she got back, she would skin him alive.

Zhang Kai could hear the thick killing intent in Qu Xiaobo's words. He carefully answered, "Basically, if you're bold enough, you'll still be socially active and happy like a fish in the water."

"Happy?"

Qu Xiaobo laughed coldly, "I'm coming to the police station now to find you and make you really happy."

Qu Xiaobo rolled up her sleeves and went after Zhang Kai to discuss this.

On the other side, Gu Baisheng was led to the office of the Vice-principal. The kind, loving, white-bearded man gave Gu Baisheng a cup of hot tea and smiled at her obsequiously. She felt very unease.

She was looking at the certificates hung on the wall and the trophies on the shelves. Gu Baisheng smiled and asked, "So what is your requirement for the applicants?"

The Vice-principal seemed in his sixties. His hair was half white.

But he looked very kind.

Gu Baisheng didn't think he was a dangerous person, so she looked at the cup in her hand and took a sip.

The tea tasted fine. She didn't sense anything weird in it.

Facing her questions, the Vice-principal abnormally started introducing himself, "My last name is Wang."

"Hello, Mr. Wang."

Mr. Wang nodded and continued, "Our requirement is fairly simple. We just want the applicants to be caring."

Gu Baisheng nodded, "I think I am."

Mr. Wang responded with a smile, "That's great. If you're not, you won't be at this job for long."

"How so?"

Gu Baisheng asked again.

The Vice-principal said, "The children in our institute are all disabled in some way. They're very special, so teachers and doctors need to have the patience to take care of them."

"I understand that and I guarantee I can do it."

Gu Baisheng had looked after a child before. She thought that disabled children shouldn't be harder to manage than small children, so she thought she could take this position well.

The Vice-principal was satisfied with Gu Baisheng's reply.

"Then, you can come to work tomorrow."

The interview went over too smoothly. Gu Baisheng was also surprised, “That’s all?"

"Yeah." Mr. Wang rubbed his hands. He reached out to Gu Baisheng coyly, "Congratulations, Miss Gu. You're hired."

Even though Gu Baisheng felt what Mr. Wang said was a bit weird,

She reached out and briefly shook Mr. Wang's hand.

"Mr. Chu, the dean, will help you familiarize yourself with the medical room, teaching buildings, accommodations, and the arrangements of the classes of students when you officially take the office here tomorrow."

Obviously, Mr. Wang was an old man in his sixties.

But when speaking to Gu Baisheng, he showed great respect with his every word.

That made Gu Baisheng even more confused.

But even though she was puzzled, Gu Baisheng was still excited about being hired. She exchanged some polite remarks with the Vice-principal and left the school.

But Mr. Wang was relieved after Gu Baisheng left. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and said to Principal, whose hair was even whiter, "We finally got a school doctor."

Principal was so moved that he almost cried, "Yeah. It was so difficult."
