Chapter 1269: Chapter 1269: Broken Promise
“What do you kids understand about getting by in life? You’re young now, and you think love is everything, shouting that you’re marrying for love.
But just because you’re a couple living day to day—dealing with firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea—doesn’t an it’s like being in a relationship. You’re a doctor, and he’s a policeman; who can take care of the house? It’s okay now, you’re both busy with work, but neither of you is young anymore.
The family is surely hoping to have grandchildren.
What happens after you have children?
It’s not as simple as you imagine. Children need to be taken care of. He has no parents, and we’re too far away.
Tell , will you not go to work, or will he not work to take care of the child?”
Qi’s mother was really about to be driven mad by her daughter. She never dated, turned down many eligible young n with good family backgrounds, handso looks, and excellent career prospects.
But she insisted on falling for a policeman.
It’s not that policen are bad.
They serve the people; everyone likes policen! They give a sense of security, but we all know to look for a policeman in a crisis.
Yet, that security doesn’t stay at ho.
Marrying soone like this ans you’re destined to endure much hardship and loneliness that ordinary people find hard to bear.
She doesn’t want her daughter to suffer.
Qi’s father also joined in; they were essentially here for this reason.
“Qingqing, you truly need to consider seriously. It’s not that your dad and I dislike him; it’s because we love you, and that’s why we can’t bear to see you suffer in the future,” Qi’s father also disapproved of the policeman.
As it happens, if a policeman is truly okay! But as a son-in-law, he’s unsuitable.
The couple was worried about Qi Yuqing.
Qi Yuqing was sowhat depressed, her face sulking, anger rising.
At ho, she’s the only daughter, even though the family isn’t enormously wealthy! But they did raise her like a treasured gem.
Her temper naturally has so petulance.
It’s remarkable that she hasn’t been spoiled, and that’s largely due to Qi Yuqing’s strong stance.
At this mont, it’s natural for her temper to flare up.
“Mom and Dad, what’s your deal? So you ca this ti not to bless my wedding but to ruin things for , or to ss things up?”
Listening to her parents’ various disdain for Bai Song, she felt deeply frustrated.
Seeing this, Qi’s father and mother realized their little princess was about to throw a tantrum again.
“We’re not trying to upset you, but you can’t stop us from speaking. This is the truth! Asking you to consider more deeply is for your own good. Your aunt and uncle live in Capital City! Why don’t you go and see them, talk about these things? At the very least, they can give you so advice; you’ve already decided everything yourself!”
Qi’s mother really couldn’t approve of Bai Song, just a local policeman.
Even if he gets promoted in the future.
Who knows how long that’ll take?
Her daughter is a doctor, a renowned surgeon; relatives and friends are almost bowing down to them in hopes of getting Qi Yuqing to perform surgery.
They’ve never lived more gloriously than at this mont.
Who doesn’t look up to them?
How could their daughter, so capable, the youngest surgeon, throw her promising future away for a policeman?
Once married and having kids, naturally, won bear the brunt of the sacrifices.
It’s always the woman who sacrifices the most for the family.
Even if Bai Song becos successful in the future.
It’d take decades to reach such a position.
Her daughter could age away as a housewife, possibly sacrificing her career for the family.
This is not what they hoped for.
How could their talented daughter sink to being a housewife?
“Mom and Dad, I’ll say it outright—if you’re unhappy with Bai Song, disapprove of us getting married, then I’ll stay single forever and won’t marry anyone! If that’s what you wish, let’s all work towards this goal together.”
Qi Yuqing led her parents into the room, fuming.
Qi’s father and mother exchanged a glance.
And sighed.
Oh, this daughter of theirs.
“You, child, won’t even let us talk now? We’re thinking of you, and you respond with this attitude, truly stressing us out.”
Qi’s mother also understood she couldn’t push the child too hard.
If the child decided to act without telling them, Qi Yuqing’s household registration was at Capital Hospital; if she wanted to make her own decisions, they really couldn’t stop her.
Just let’s wait and see.
Qi Yuqing made dinner reservations for the evening.
At a modest restaurant, a small private room.
Qi’s father and mother, along with her aunt and uncle Liao Zecheng, attended as family mbers eting.
Qi’s aunt also wanted to et this Bai Song.
Her niece, with that personality, finding soone she liked intensely surprised her.
She naturally wanted to see what kind of person Bai Song was.
Yet, after a long wait, they didn’t see him. Bai Song called, saying there was a major case at the station to handle.
Bai Song couldn’t make it.
Qi Yuqing naturally spent the whole ti saying sweet words, making her parents happy, and her aunt and uncle a little disappointed.
All four of them felt Bai Song was too disrespectful to the Qi Family.
Work is important, but if you insist on setting a ti, why not plan it in advance?
The elders waited for several hours, and no one showed up; this was disrespectful.
Who can know that Bai Song was checking the bodies at the cri scene.
A severe serial murder case.
The culprit is highly intelligent, committing repeated cris with consistent thods, as if challenging the police’s wisdom.
Such provocations have chilled people.
Because the victims were policen.
Even one was a family mber of a policeman.
This made the police internally feel uneasy.
No one knows who will be the next target.
The criminal left no clues.
A criminal so clever, calm, and rational, everyone’s sense of crisis was heightened.
And that’s why Bai Song couldn’t leave.
Lian City’s police squad and the Public Security Bureau dispatched a large number of personnel.
Such heinous, police-targeting incidents have left everyone uneasy.
How could Bai Song turn a blind eye?
But this incident sowed a bad first impression in Qi’s father and mother’s hearts.
Directly leading to Bai Song’s later inability to explain himself.
Qi Yuqing didn’t know that this marked the beginning of the end for them.
She rely understood Bai Song instinctively.
Because Bai Song was a policeman, often facing unavoidable circumstances.
After being together so long, she naturally knew how busy Bai Song was.
She’s a doctor! She could empathize.
But she didn’t know her parents were even more disapproving.
After their daughter went to work, within a week, her parents got Bai Song’s address through hints from their daughter.
They directly went to Bai Song’s workplace, the station.
At that ti, Bai Song’s case had fallen into a vicious cycle.
Over the week, another policeman died.
The manner of death exactly mirrored previous cases of those policen.
With their throats slit, dying of blood loss, each wearing a uniform neatly, no signs of suffering on their faces, suggesting they felt no pain before dying.
Their own safety had already reached a warning level.
