Chapter 197: Aunt Discovered to be Poisoned?!

"It's a pregnancy pulse."

"Moreover, the pulse is steady and strong, the fetal development is very stable, and it is a very healthy baby."

boom!

These words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the minds of Chu Zhennan and Chu Jingya!

The two were stunned, standing there dumbfounded, completely unable to process the enormous amount of information.

A... a happy pulse?

Pregnant?!

How could that be!

Back then, when Chen Yaru gave birth to Chu Jingya, she injured her body and developed a chronic illness.

The best doctors in Beijing have all asserted that she will likely never be able to conceive again in her lifetime.

For over twenty years, the couple had long since accepted this fact.

But now...

"Yue... Yueyue... You... You're not mistaken, are you?"

Chu Zhennan's voice trembled uncontrollably. He reached out his hand, as if wanting to confirm something, but he didn't dare to.

"Uncle, do you think I would joke about something like this?" Su Yue asked with a smile.

Chu Jingya finally snapped out of her shock and let out a scream of joy, not crying.

"I'm going to have a little brother! I'm going to have a little sister!"

She excitedly rushed to the bedside, but dared not touch her mother. She could only jump around like a child who had received a favorite toy.

The loud noise finally made Chen Yaru, who was lying in the hospital bed, slowly open her eyes.

She looked at everything in front of her in a daze, at her daughter who was beaming with joy, and at her husband who was dumbfounded.

"What's wrong... Zhennan..." she said weakly.

Chu Zhennan rushed over and grabbed his wife's hand. This man, who shed blood but not sweat on the battlefield, could no longer hold back his tears, which fell in large drops.

"Yaru...we...we have a child..." he stammered, repeating the phrase, "We have another child!"

Chen Yaru was completely stunned, and she subconsciously looked at Su Yue.

Su Yue nodded heavily at her.

"Auntie, congratulations! It's been over a month, didn't you even know?"

The confirmed news was like a warm current, instantly breaking down all of Chen Yaru's defenses.

Thinking of the changes in the Chu family, her husband's future, and her own useless health, she was overwhelmed with mixed feelings of sorrow and joy. She covered her face and wept silently.

This child, who arrived more than twenty years late, is more than just a new life for this family that has just experienced a devastating disaster and is rebuilding from the ruins.

It is hope.

It is the best gift bestowed by God.

"Okay, okay, stop crying. Pregnant women shouldn't get so emotional."

Su Yue stepped forward and gently patted her back.

Chen Yaru held Su Yue's hand, her eyes brimming with tears, her lips moving as gratitude and guilt intertwined, unable to utter a single word.

The Chu family committed heinous crimes against the Huo family, yet Su Yue disregarded past grievances and saved them, and now…

"Auntie, let bygones be bygones."

Su Yue seemed to see through her thoughts and said gently, "This child represents a new beginning. Your family should live well on Hainan Island and make your lives prosperous. That's more important than anything else."

These words completely resolved Chen Yaru's inner conflict.

The gloomy atmosphere in the ward was swept away by this sudden and wonderful news, replaced by the relief of surviving a disaster and boundless hope for the future.

Su Yue then walked to the table, picked up paper and pen, and wrote out a prescription for a safe pregnancy in a smooth and efficient manner.

“My aunt has a weak constitution, so I’ll prescribe a formula to strengthen her body and replenish her energy. She should take it for a week. Also, she needs to be extra careful for the first three months. She can’t overwork herself, she can’t lift heavy objects, and she needs to be careful with her diet…”

She went on and on about all sorts of precautions for early pregnancy, from diet to rest, leaving no detail overlooked. Her level of professionalism left even the attending physician, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, speechless and feeling ashamed of his own inadequacy.

Chu Jingya completely transformed into Su Yue's little fangirl, clinging to her arm with eyes full of adoration.

The estrangement and resentment that had arisen from the changes in their family background vanished completely at this moment.

Looking at her family, whose hope had been rekindled, Su Yue felt genuinely happy.

However, as she rechecked Chen Yaru's pulse and felt the joyful beating of the new life beneath that steady pulse, her fingertips keenly detected another extremely discordant undercurrent.

It was a chilling aura that had been dormant deep within the bloodline for years.

It was this cold air that blocked her meridians, which caused my aunt to be infertile for many years.

This chilling aura is insidious and hidden, unlike something caused by congenital weakness, but rather... something planted by someone.

......

The events in Beijing finally came to a swift and decisive end.

The trip back to Hainan Island by Su Yue and her group has officially been put on the agenda.

After discussing it, Mr. Huo and Huo Shouzhen decided to go together.

In the old man's words, he was determined to witness the birth of his great-grandson, and no one could stop him.

Huo Shouzhen didn't say much, but his posture of following Su Yue closely said it all.

On the Gu family's side, Gu Zhengfeng and Zhang Huilan need to stay in Beijing to handle the massive follow-up affairs.

Surprisingly, Gu Beihan, the eldest brother of the Gu family, took the initiative to submit an application to go to Hainan Island for "academic exchange".

They claimed it was to broaden their horizons, experience the island's charm, and prepare for improving their medical skills.

Everyone could see through his little scheme.

The transfer procedures for Chu Zhennan's family were completed as quickly as possible, and they will travel to Hainan Island on the same military aircraft to start a new life.

The interior of the enormous military transport plane was spacious, but the atmosphere was somewhat subtle.

Chu Jingya leaned against the small porthole, watching the rapidly receding outline of Beijing below, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

That place used to be her home, filled with more than twenty years of her memories, but now it's just a nightmare she can't bear to look back on.

What will the future hold?

She was unsure, feeling both confused and subtly expectant.

"Oh, isn't this Miss Chu? What, are you going to an island to become a fisherwoman?"

An annoying voice rang in her ear.

Chu Jingya knew who it was without even turning around.

She turned around and, sure enough, saw Gu Beixiao's face with a playful smile.

"What, is Young Master Gu going to an island to experience life again? The romance and pleasures of the capital city are no longer enough for you?"

Chu Jingya immediately retorted.

Having gone through so much, she is no longer the timid little girl who would only follow Chu Yanran around.

"I'm going to gather material for research, you know? It's a cultural matter, you wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you, you tigress."

Gu Beixiao crossed his arms, looking inscrutable.

"I think you're going to feed the fish!"

"You drowning tiger, don't expect me to save you once you're in the sea!"

The two started arguing again, exchanging words back and forth.

But unlike before, this argument lacked sharp hostility and instead had a more relaxed, everyday feel to it.
