What happened with Shen Feng didn't affect Qin Jiao at all, and Li Xiaomei seemed to have vanished completely. Later, Qin Jiao heard that Li Xiaomei hadn't returned to her hometown, but had instead rented a house by herself and was now working at a small clinic.
She used to not even want to be a head nurse, complaining it was too tiring. But now, with her family's sudden turn of fortune and both her husband and son in prison, Li Xiaomei was back to working as a nurse, albeit at a small clinic.
But now, she had no other choice.
Going back to her hometown was out of the question. Before, her family had long since scorned her for her ambiguous relationship with Shen Zhengfeng while she remained unmarried.
After she married Shen Zhengfeng, she felt completely vindicated and started looking down on everyone from her hometown, acting superior to them all.
And now, she was simply too ashamed to go back.
