Chapter 69 Fetal Arrest

Aunt Liu trembled, a strange look flashed across her eyes, and she hurriedly approached me and said that it was indeed only her and I living in this house.

"I turned on the light in this study before I went to bed, but forgot to turn it off. I just remembered it now that I woke up, so I came to check. I didn't expect you to be awake too."

I looked at Aunt Liu in confusion and asked her if she was the one who opened the window of the study.

Aunt Liu nodded and said yes.

Aunt Liu walked over, closed the window, and turned to look at me.

"Let's freshen up the room. It's getting late, so go to bed."

After leaving the study, I went downstairs to pour myself a glass of milk. When I went upstairs, I stood at the door and turned around to glance at the closed study. I thought I was too worried.

After work early in the morning, Xiao Shi told me to go to a party with him in the evening.

I looked at him hesitantly, and Xiao Shi smiled at me.

"I know you can't drink. Don't worry, I won't let you drink."

I was startled and looked at Xiao Shi in surprise.

"How do you know I can't drink?"

Xiao Shi said that last time when he celebrated his birthday in a bar, I blushed after drinking a glass of wine.

I breathed a sigh of relief, smiled somewhat unnaturally, and said that I really couldn't drink. I looked at Xiao Shi guiltily. I thought he had discovered my little secret.

"The main reason is that I lack a female companion, and I can't think of anyone suitable to accompany me." Xiao Shi looked at me.

I nodded and said yes.

In the afternoon, Xiao Shi had a dress delivered, a white long-sleeved dress.

I took a look and luckily the style is a bit loose, so it shouldn't be a big problem to wear.

After get off work, I got into Xiao Shi’s car, entered the venue, and exchanged gifts in the lounge.

When I opened the door and came out, I happened to meet Cai Qing. Cai Qing was holding a dress in her hand and was about to go inside to change.

"Xiao Wan, why are you here?"

I said I came here with our general manager. Cai Qing looked at me with a smile and said that I looked very exquisite when dressed up.

"Then I'll go in and change my clothes first. See you at the venue later."

When I was walking out of the corridor, I saw a familiar figure. Jiang Ruohe was talking on the phone in the corridor with his back to me.

"I understand, Grandpa. Don't worry, I've already told Caiqing about it."

Jiang Ruohe hung up the phone, heard my footsteps, and turned around.

"Caiqing, you've changed so quickly..."

When he saw me, he was stunned for a moment, put his hands in his pockets and smiled at me.

"Coming with Xiao Shi?"

I nodded.

A complicated look flashed across Jiang Ruohe's eyes. Coincidentally, Cai Qing came out of the lounge at this moment and called Jiang Ruohe. I turned to look at Cai Qing. She had short hair and was wearing a black dress. She was very beautiful.

Cai Qing smiled at me, walked towards Jiang Ruohe, and asked what he thought of the dress. "It looks good." Jiang Ruohe smiled at him.

"Then let's go." Cai Qing happily took Jiang Ruohe's hand and went downstairs.

Watching them leave, for some reason, my heart began to feel uneasy again.

I went downstairs feeling a little lonely, and Xiao Shi was waiting for me at the stairs.

"Come on, I'll take you to eat something delicious."

When I heard there was food, I felt better. My appetite has indeed increased recently due to my pregnancy.

I smiled at him and took his arm. At that moment, I felt a sharp gaze sweeping towards me.

I looked up and saw Jiang Ruohe sitting on the sofa not far away, eating dessert with Cai Qing.

Just when I was about to tell Xiao Shi that I wasn't hungry anymore, Xiao Shi had already taken me to them.

Xiao Shi took a dessert, handed it to me, and sat on the sofa with me.

He turned around and called out "Mr. Jiang". Jiang Ruohe nodded, put a piece of fruit into Cai Qing's mouth, and then turned to look at Xiao Shi.

The two of them exchanged a few pleasantries. For some reason, the four of us being together felt strange to me.

I lowered my head and ate dessert without saying a word.

Fortunately, after a while, Jiang Ruohe took Cai Qing to dance, and Xiao Shi took a glass of red wine and sat on the sofa to accompany me. After a while, a client came over and said that he wanted to discuss cooperation with Xiao Shi.

Xiao Shi whispered to me that if I felt bored staying here, I could go to the lounge to rest for a while, and he would send me back early after he finished talking.

I nodded and said okay, then got up and went upstairs.

I changed out of my dress, lay on the sofa in the lounge, stroked my belly with my hands, and waited for Xiao to die.

After a while, I heard the door of the lounge open. I thought it was Xiao Shi, so I turned around and saw it was Jiang Ruohe. I was stunned for a moment.

"Did you think it was Xiao Shi?" he asked me.

I sat up without saying a word. He walked slowly towards me and stood in front of me.

"How is it going?"

I said it was pretty good.

Jiang Ruohe smiled faintly, put his hands on the sofa, leaned over, and put his face in front of me.

"Why do I feel that you have been depressed recently. Is there something wrong?"

"How could that be?" I looked up at him angrily, but my lips accidentally touched his nose bridge, and we both trembled.

"No?" Jiang Ruohe breathed on my face, making me feel a little uncomfortable all over.

Just as I was about to say no, he suddenly kissed my right cheek, then pulled away and put his face in front of me with a wicked smile in his eyes.

"Little thing, you are obviously attracted to me, why don't you dare to admit it?"

"I didn't." I pushed Jiang Ruohe away, stood up from the sofa in embarrassment, and glared at him.

"Jiang Ruohe, I really didn't expect you to be such a person. You're clearly in a relationship with Cai Qing, yet you still come to harass me. You're simply a hooligan."

"When did I start dating Cai Qing?" Jiang Ruohe raised his eyebrows and looked at me.

"No? You two are so close and affectionate, and you still say you haven't talked about it?"

A smile played on his lips.

"Why do I smell a strong smell of vinegar?"

He also asked me if Xiao Shiye and I were in a relationship since we were so close and affectionate.

I hurriedly said no.

"That's it, I don't have any either."

Ruohe came closer to me again.

"Do you feel upset when you see me and Caiqing together?"

I stared at him, and after a while, I said, "I didn't."

"You lied because you were so angry. Xiaowan, what do you think this means?"

I didn't reply.

"Is this a sign that you like me?"

I rolled my eyes at him. I wanted to say, how could I possibly like him, but the words got stuck in my throat and I could only stare at Jiang Ruohe.

Just then, Cai Qing opened the door of the lounge. Seeing the two of us standing together, she was stunned for a moment, and a trace of sadness flashed across her eyes.

Jiang Ruohe looked at his watch and told Caiqing to change into a dress and he would send Caiqing back.

Jiang Ruohe and I walked out of the locker room together and stood in the corridor. Jiang Ruohe turned to look at me with a smile on his face.

"Xiao Wan..."

I interrupted Jiang Ruohe and said I didn't want to talk to him right now.

Jiang Ruohe had a wicked smile on his face and was about to say something when Cai Qing screamed from the lounge.

Jiang Ruohe immediately opened the door of the lounge and saw Cai Qing wearing underwear and covering her chest, looking at Jiang Ruohe fearfully.

"Ruohe, all my clothes were cut up."

Jiang Ruohe hurriedly covered his face with his hands and asked Cai Qing to change into a dress first. He asked someone to bring a cotton jacket over.

I looked at Caiqing's closet. All the clothes in her closet had been cut. Caiqing immediately closed the curtain and changed into the black dress. Jiang Ruohe asked someone to bring a cotton jacket for Caiqing to put on, and also called a few staff members over.

"Mr. Jiang, we only have two ladies in each lounge. In this lounge, there are only Miss Yu and Miss Mu. According to our surveillance footage, only Miss Yu, Miss Mu, and Mr. Jiang have been in here. Miss Yu was in a little longer."

As soon as I finished saying this, everyone looked at me. I just said that I had been lying on the sofa since I came in.

At this moment, one of them noticed a pair of scissors under the sofa pillow. He quickly took it and found that the scissors had been used.

I didn't say anything, just looked up at Jiang Ruohe.

"I believe Xiaowan. You guys check it out again."

Cai Qing looked at Jiang Ruohe and told the staff that she also believed in me and asked them to investigate further.

The staff had someone watch the surveillance footage again and confirmed repeatedly that only three of us had entered the room. Among them, I had been alone in the room the longest and was the most suspicious. However, due to Jiang Ruohe's identity, they did not say it explicitly. But they had already determined that I cut Caiqing's clothes out of jealousy. Even Caiqing, although she said she believed me on the surface, cast a suspicious look at me.

They were all waiting for Jiang Ruohe to speak. Jiang Ruohe looked around the lounge and suddenly fixed his eyes on the window. At this moment, Xiao Shi appeared at the door, walked quickly in towards me, and looked at the staff members coldly.

"Are you sure you've done the investigation? Why did I just see someone sneaking around in the back garden from the surveillance room? Who knows if that person climbed in through the window, cut Caiqing's clothes, and framed Xiaowan?"

The staff hurriedly called the monitoring room, and soon someone came in with a notebook and clicked on the surveillance of the back garden. They indeed found that a man in black clothes, a baseball cap and a mask appeared stealthily in the back garden, and then entered the blind spot of the surveillance. After waiting for more than ten minutes, the man appeared in the surveillance range again and left in a hurry.

The staff member froze the image of the black shadow, then looked at me and said sorry.

Cai Qing looked at me with some apology and was about to come forward to talk to me, but was given a cold look by Xiao Shi, who then pulled me away.

After Xiao Shi sent me home, sitting in the car, I looked up at him with gratitude and said thank you.

"You're welcome. If I had known something like this would happen, I wouldn't have taken you there. Go to bed early."

After taking a shower, I took some pregnancy-preserving medicine, sat at the table, turned on the computer, and clicked on the surveillance camera.

Grandpa clearly asked Jiang Nianhao to break up with Tian Rong. Although Jiang Nianhao agreed on the surface, he did not do so. He even spent money to buy a house for Tian Rong as a warm place for the two of them, and kept Tian Rong, who had lost her job, in captivity.

But Tian Rong didn't know that when she moved in and asked a worker to clean up the room, I took the opportunity to have someone install a surveillance camera, which was facing the bed where Tian Rong slept.

At this moment, Tian Rong was rolling around with Jiang Nianhao. Seeing this restricted scene, I deliberately avoided my sight and waited for nearly an hour before the two of them finished.

"Nian Hao, you must help me find out which woman sent Wu Yi to Nancheng to cause trouble for me. I will skin her alive. Not only did she lose my job, but I also lost my friends."

Jiang Nianhao hugged Tian Rong, smoked a cigarette, and said that maybe this was really the woman he had played with before. Tian Rong immediately got angry and blew on his chest.

"Baby, don't hit me. I promise that I will never look for other women except you in the future." Jiang Nianhao immediately comforted Tian Rong.

"Really?"

"I swear, if it weren't for my dad, I would have divorced Wang Yingzhi and married you long ago, but my dad doesn't agree. I have no choice but to let you go for a while. My dad is old and won't live for many more years. When he passes away, I will immediately divorce that woman and marry you."

If the grandfather heard these words at this moment, he would be so angry that he would die at the hands of his son.

"Nian Hao, I'll wait for you. But I suspect that the one who instigated Wu Yi wasn't your ex-girlfriend..."

"What do you think?" Jiang Nianhao turned and asked her.

"I have a suspect, but I don't think she's that smart. If it's really her, then it only means she's hiding it too deeply."

Jiang Nianhao asked Tian Rong who this person was.

"I'll tell you when I'm sure."

After the two of them finished talking, they started rolling around again. Tian Rong's shrill voice made me panic, so I turned the video to mute.

After Jiang Nianhao left, I turned the sound back on, only to see Tian Rong sitting in front of the makeup mirror in her pajamas, looking at herself in the mirror.

"Yu Xiaowan, could it be you? If it is you, don't blame me for being rude."

I turned off the video, snorted a few times, stood up in annoyance, and opened the window. The cold air from outside blew in, making me shiver.

I felt it was too cold outside and was about to close the window, but I unexpectedly saw a handprint on the wall outside the window. My heart skipped a beat, and I remembered that I had found the window not closed tightly twice before. I was terrified. It seemed that someone had really entered my room.

I closed the window, put my laptop on the dressing table, turned on the camera, and pointed it at the closed window.

I fell asleep with some trepidation. In the morning, I hurried to the computer and played back the video recorded last night, but found nothing unusual.

"No, I have to hold on for a few days and see."

I always feel that someone has sneaked into my room, and I must find this person.

Two days passed peacefully.

That morning, I was replaying what happened last night. At two in the morning, I saw a hand pressed against the window. I was so scared that I shuddered all over. It was like I was watching a horror movie. Suddenly, the exciting moment came, and I, in the video, was actually sleeping soundly.

The window moved open little by little, and a head popped out. It was dim at night, and at first glance, I couldn't tell who it was. My heart was in my throat, and I was very scared.

Soon the figure came in through the window, walked directly to my bed, stood by the bed with his back to the camera, and stared at me.

Seeing this, I was terrified and cursed myself for sleeping so soundly that night. Suddenly, I thought of Jiang Ruohe. He said that this community was very safe and there was no need to install anti-theft windows. Now I want to call Jiang Ruohe immediately and let him take a good look at this video. It's obvious that someone had entered my room.

I saw the figure in the video suddenly reach out towards my sleeping face. I was extremely nervous, thinking that this person might be a pervert and would do something to me while I was sleeping.

"This must be a perverted voyeur. No, I want to call the police." I took out my cell phone, dialed 110 while watching the video, and suddenly noticed something. I quickly hung up the phone and clicked the replay button with the mouse.

The man didn't do anything to me. He just gently pulled up the quilt that I kicked away, and then stood there for two minutes. When he saw me turn over in bed, he hurriedly took a few steps back, and his body appeared clearly in the camera. When I saw his figure clearly, I widened my eyes in shock.

I was so angry that I stood up from my chair and felt like smashing my computer.

"Jiang Ruohe, you bastard. You're a peeping Tom. No wonder you didn't let me find a master to install anti-theft windows last time. It turns out this was your idea." I supported my waist angrily.

"If you dare to come here again, I will definitely beat you up and leave you with your teeth on the ground."

I kept cursing Jiang Ruohe. Maybe I was too excited and felt some pain in my lower abdomen. I quickly calmed down my rage and told myself that I was a pregnant woman and I had to learn to control my emotions. Even if I was angry, I had to hold it in.

After calming down, I felt that the pain in my lower abdomen was gone. I took out my cell phone and planned to call the decorator from last time. But after thinking about it, I decided not to. If I installed this anti-theft window now, he would not come in again, but if I questioned him, he would definitely not admit it, because his face was not captured in the video. He would definitely argue that someone with a similar body shape entered my room. Then, I would not be able to do anything to him.

It seems that I have to catch him myself, otherwise he won’t be able to deny it.

When I got home from get off work, I bought an electric baton without letting Aunt Liu see it.

At night, I set the alarm on my sleep machine for midnight, and turned on the vibrating mode, and fell asleep. At midnight, the alarm clock in my hand vibrated, and I woke up with a start.

After turning off the alarm clock, I put a long pillow in the quilt, then sat in the sliding wardrobe, opened a small gap, and stared at the window. I stared for about an hour, but no one came. I yawned and thought I would stare for another ten minutes. If no one came, I would go to bed.

After a while, in the dim moonlight, I saw a hand pressed against the window. Although I knew it was a person, I was still startled and quickly covered my mouth with my hand to prevent myself from making any sound.

Soon the window opened, Jiang Ruohe turned over and came in swiftly, walking gently to the bed.

He sat down carefully, muttering why I slept with my head covered today.

"Isn't it stuffy like this?" he whispered, reaching out to lift the quilt.

"Where are the people?" Jiang Ruohe was startled and stood up.

At this moment, I was standing behind him, holding the electric baton and hitting him on the back, and he fell directly onto my bed.

I put down the electric baton, turned on the light, walked up to Jiang Ruohe, slapped his face hard, took out the rope I had prepared earlier, and tied him up.

"You bastard, I'll deal with you when you wake up."

I was too sleepy and thought about going to work tomorrow. Now that he had been tied up by me, he posed no threat to me. So I climbed onto the bed, kept a distance from Jiang Ruohe, and fell asleep.

Jiang Ruohe woke up an hour after I electrocuted him. When he moved, I woke up with a start, opened my eyes and looked coldly at Jiang Ruohe beside me.

Jiang Ruohe looked embarrassed at this moment.

"Hi."

"Hey, what the hell." I sat up, glared at him, and reached out to take the electric baton on the bedside table. A trace of fear flashed across Jiang Ruohe's eyes.

"If I hadn't been staring at that window with my laptop, I wouldn't have known that President Jiang actually liked to do this kind of peeping. Believe it or not, I'll send this video to the media and ruin your reputation."

"Don't say such harsh words. I just wanted to come see you. I didn't do anything to you. Besides, you are my ex-wife. I have said in front of the media before that I want to get you back. If you post it, no one will dare to say anything."

"you……"

I stared at Jiang Ruohe. Why didn't I realize that Jiang Ruohe was so talkative before? Thinking of his cold appearance before, it was a sharp contrast to his current appearance.

I looked at Jiang Ruohe with some suspicion, wondering if this guy was a fake. Maybe he had been replaced when Gu Bei kidnapped him.

I lowered my head and moved closer to Jiang Ruohe, looked at his face, and saw a small black mole on his right earlobe.

If he wasn't replaced, how come there is such a big difference in personality?

"So you can see more clearly." He suddenly stood up and put his face in front of me.

I was shocked to find that the ropes tied around him had been untied by him at some point.

I wanted to shrink back, but he reached out and grabbed my shoulders, and our bodies were pressed against each other, which was very awkward.

"Jiang Ruohe, if you don't let go, I'm going to use an electric baton."

"I removed the battery a long time ago."

Jiang Ruohe said he woke up half an hour ago, not only untied the rope, but also took the battery from my electric baton, and then lay on the bed, waiting for me to wake up.

I was so angry that I reached out and slapped him.

The slap was really loud, leaving five red finger marks on his face. I looked at him angrily, and he let go of my shoulders and sat up from the bed.

I felt like the slap was a bit heavy, but I was really angry. He and I were divorced. He had clearly agreed not to provoke me again, and he was so good to Cai Qing, so why did he continue to harass me?

Jiang Ruohe also looked at me, stopped talking, and returned to his previous coldness. The two of us just stared at each other. Jiang Ruohe suddenly leaned his face over, bit my right cheek, took a light bite, and let me go.

"Yu Xiaowan, can't you see my sincerity? I'm with Cai Qing just to make you jealous. You obviously care about me, so why don't you dare admit it?"

"Yes, I once loved someone else and hurt you, but I truly realize I was wrong. Even what I said in the media last time was sincere. Why can't you give me another chance?"

"If you said you had no feelings for me at all, I wouldn't bother you. But you clearly do, so why won't you open your heart and accept me?"

"One thing I'm very clear about is that I'm not using my feelings to make up for the hurt I've caused you, or to express my gratitude for saving my life. I don't know when I started to have you in my heart, or even before you saved me..."

"Xiaowan, do you really not like me?" Jiang Ruohe looked at me seriously.

When faced with his questions, I just felt my mind was in a mess. I didn't know and I wasn't clear.

I wasn't this panicked when Xiao Shi confessed to me, but I was panicked when facing Jiang Ruohe's confession.

I looked at Jiang Ruohe with red eyes, shook my head, and murmured that I didn't know.

Jiang Ruohe's eyes were filled with hurt as he got out of bed and turned his back to me.

"I understand. I will never harass you again."

After Jiang Ruohe climbed out the window and left, I was still slumped on the bed, unable to recover. After a long time, I wiped my face with my hand and found that I was crying.

The second half of the night is destined to be sleepless.

When I opened the door in the morning, I happened to see Aunt Liu looking for me.

"Xiao Wan, did the young master come to see you last night?"

I nodded.

"No wonder. When I got up this morning and opened the window, I saw the young master standing motionless under your window. I don't know how long he'd been standing there. He didn't even respond when I called him."

Aunt Liu said that it rained a little in the early morning and Jiang Ruohe's hair was soaked. She quickly took a big cotton jacket and went downstairs to find Jiang Ruohe, but Jiang Ruohe drove away.

That guy couldn't have stood under the window for half the night, right? I don't know why, but I feel a little sad.

"I see."

"Xiao Wan, the young master really likes you. He was the one who wronged you before and did a lot of wrong things, but wasn't there a misunderstanding between you at that time?"

"The young master is actually very sincere. He rarely hides his emotions. If he says he likes someone, he absolutely really likes them. There won't be any fakery."

Jiang Ruohe is indeed as Liu Ma said, very real. When he disliked me before, even his eyes were filled with disgust, but he has been slowly changing since then.

"Xiao Wan, you have the young master in your heart, right? The young master has been with Cai Qing these past few days, and you haven't smiled once when you came home."

I looked at Aunt Liu with red eyes and realized that I did seem to have feelings for Jiang Ruohe. I wasn't sure when I started to fall in love with him.

"Can you give the young master another chance?" Aunt Liu looked at me.

I suddenly remembered that I was pregnant with a child, Jiang Ruohe's and mine. I had compromised once last time and planned to tell the truth to Jiang Ruohe, but after hearing him tell his grandfather that he wanted a divorce, I changed my mind.

But now I know that he wants to divorce and end our previous wrong marriage and start over, so why can't I accept it?

"I'll try."

Aunt Liu was a little excited. I hurried downstairs, took the car keys, drove out the car that Jiang Ruohe had left here, and went to the Jiang family's old house.

When I went there, I thought that when I saw Jiang Ruohe, I would definitely tell him that I was pregnant and that I was willing to accept him for the sake of the child, so that he would not lose his father's love.

When I was almost at the Jiang family's old house, I saw Jiang Ruohe's car. His car was parked in front of the door of the Jiang family's old house, so I slowed down and stopped.

Jiang Ruohe stopped the car, but did not go into the yard. Instead, he took two steps forward. I opened the car door and prepared to get out to call Jiang Ruohe.

But the next second, I closed the car door and looked at Cai Qing who was standing not far away. At this moment, Jiang Ruohe was walking towards her step by step. Seeing that scene, my heart ached.

Cai Qing stood in front of her car, looking at Jiang Ruohe, a trace of heartache flashed across her eyes, and she walked quickly towards Jiang Ruohe and stood in front of him. The two of them stared at each other like this. I covered my aching chest and felt really uncomfortable.

I didn't hear what Cai Qing said, but I saw Jiang Ruohe leaning his head on Cai Qing's shoulder, and Cai Qing hurriedly put her arms around Jiang Ruohe's waist.

Did Jiang Ruohe accept Cai Qing because of my rejection? I couldn't hold back my tears any longer. I wiped the tears from my face with my hand, laughed, and cursed myself secretly. What's there to cry about?

If he really likes me, how could he give up so easily just because of my rejection? If he could give up like this, it only means that he doesn't love me at all.

I should be thankful that I only had a little crush on Jiang Ruohe. Seeing him and Cai Qing together, I should have gladly accepted it...

I glanced at him twice and quickly reversed and left.

After driving for a while, I still felt a little anxious. I was afraid that my emotions would affect the baby in my belly, so I found a place to stop, buried my head in the steering wheel, and tears still fell uncontrollably.

A few minutes later, I checked my phone and saw that it was almost time to go to work. I wiped the tears from my face, calmed down, and went to work.

When I entered the office, I found that there were guests in the office, so I stopped at the door.

"Xiao Shi, Zuo Wei has been dead for three years. You should forget her. You also know that Kailin has liked you for several years. She came to China just for you."

"You're not a child anymore. I've discussed this with Kailin's mother and plan to have Kailin marry you. If you agree, all my land in France will be yours."

Apparently, he's Kailin's stepfather.

"I'm sorry, I just treat Kailin as a sister. What's more, I have someone I like."

"Your assistant? I heard she's a divorced woman, and she's from the Jiang family. Are you sure you're not taking advantage of her?"

Kailin's stepfather's question stunned me. According to what he said, why did it feel like Xiao Shi seemed to have a grudge against the Jiang family?

I suddenly remembered that Kailin took me to the wedding room that Xiao Shi and Zuo Wei had prepared, and there I saw Jiang Nianhao's information.

Does Xiao Shi have a grudge against Jiang Nianhao? I've never heard of it before, and Xiao Shi and Jiang's even cooperated, so how could they possibly have a grudge?

"But she's no longer a member of the Jiang family, Mr. Blue. You know some relationships can be forced. I've already told Kailin about this. I've always clearly rejected her. I hope she can find someone who's right for her."

"Forget it, I'd rather not worry about these things. I want to take Kailin back to France, but this girl is stubborn and insists on staying with you. I'll have to trouble you to take better care of her."

"As long as she doesn't cause trouble, I will take good care of her. If she does, I will send her back to France." Xiao Shi replied.

When Xiao Shi sent Mr. Blue out, I had already gone to the tea room. I came out after Mr. Blue left. Xiao Shi saw me and asked me why my face was so pale.

"fine."

Sitting in the chair, looking at the computer in a daze, the scene of Cai Qing and Jiang Ruohe hugging each other kept appearing in my mind, and I felt a little uncomfortable.

Xiao Shi poured me a cup of milk tea. I came back to my senses and said thank you to him.

After a while, Kailin pushed the door open and walked in, calling out Xiao Shi.

"The friend I told you about last night is here for the job interview."

Xiao Shi walked to his desk, sat down, and asked Kailin's friend to come in. Soon Tian Rong appeared in my sight, and I was so scared that I almost spilled the cup of milk tea in my hand onto the table.

Tian Rong saw me and smiled at me.

I looked at her in confusion. When had she gotten involved with Kailin? Was she trying to use Kailin's love for Xiao Shi to deal with me?

I have to say that Tian Rong really couldn't bear to see me live a comfortable life. Even after I divorced Jiang Ruohe, she didn't want to let me go.

"Sister, why did you come to Minghua to apply for a job? Your previous job..." I looked at her in confusion.

This touched Tian Rong's sore spot, and her face froze. She thought I didn't know why Wu Yi was looking for her. She said that she had worked in that company for three years and couldn't find a breakthrough, so she resigned and wanted to change companies.

Xiao Shi looked up at Tian Rong. "Are you Xiao Wan's sister?"

Tian Rong nodded.

"So how do you know Kailin?"

Tian Rong, who had been somewhat happy, became expressionless again.

"Kaylene and I met at a friend's party a few days ago. We got along really well. When she heard I wanted to change jobs, she introduced Minghua Company to me."

"Brother Xiao Shi, I like her very much. I left my bag at the venue and she brought it to me. You see, she happens to be Xiao Wan's sister, so just agree to let her join the company."

Xiao Shi looked at me, as if asking what I thought. I glanced at Tian Rong and smiled hurriedly.

"My sister is quite capable, Mr. Xiao might consider it."

Xiao Shi glanced at me and asked Tian Rong to give him her resume. After reading it, Xiao Shi said that the Finance Department was still short of an assistant and asked her to go over.

"Thank you, Mr. Xiao."

Kailin and Tian Rong left satisfied. I turned to look at Xiao Shi, and coincidentally he was looking at me.

"Kaylene is a willful girl. If she bullies you, just fight back. Don't worry about me."

"I get along pretty well with Kailin."

Last time, she took me to Xiao Shi and Zuo Wei’s former wedding room, allowing me to get to know Xiao Shi better.

But one must always be on guard against others. Now that she is together with Tian Rong, I have to be on guard.

When I was having lunch with Yang Ru at noon, Kailin and Tian Rong also came over and sat at a dining table. Tian Rong was eating while looking at her mobile phone.

"Xiao Wan, lend me your phone. My phone is out of battery and I need to reply to an important message from my former classmate."

Yang Ru handed the mobile phone that she had placed on the dining table to Tian Rong. Tian Rong looked at Yang Ru with a complicated look in her eyes.

"Xiaowan happens to have my classmate's phone number in her phone."

"Ask Xiaowan to give you her phone number, and then send the same message using my phone. It's free to send text messages from my phone," Yang Ru continued.

At this moment, Tian Rong probably hated Yang Ru to death.

I knew she wanted to check my phone, so I handed it to her and said that sending text messages on my phone was free, and I happened to have her classmate's phone number.

Tian Rong took it and pressed the keys for a few minutes before handing the phone to me. A hint of confusion flashed across her eyes, and she thought she might have guessed wrong.

I glanced at Tian Rong and said nothing more.

During my lunch break in the lounge, I actually dreamed that Jiang Ruohe and Cai Qing were getting married, and Cai Qing even invited me to their wedding. When I woke up, I felt a sharp pain in my heart.

There was a trace of pain in his eyes. It was too late to say anything now. He had already accepted Cai Qing.

I got out of bed and left the lounge. Xiao Shi was still busy in the office. I took his teacup, poured him some green tea, put it on his desk, and returned to my seat, ready to start working.

But at this moment my lower abdomen suddenly started to ache, and I hurriedly covered my stomach. Xiao Shi noticed that something was wrong with me, so he quickly stood up, walked to my side, and asked me what was wrong.

"I. My stomach hurts..." Just as I finished speaking, I felt something rushing out from under me. I stood up in panic. Seeing this, Xiao Shi didn't ask anything. He hurriedly picked me up and quickly left the office.

Xiao Shi stepped on the accelerator and took me to the hospital in ten minutes. After arriving at the hospital, I spoke to the doctor and told him that I was two months pregnant. The doctor quickly arranged for an ultrasound doctor to examine me.

I lay in bed in pain, watching the ultrasound doctor frown. She looked up at Xiao Shi who was waiting beside her.

"The fetus has stopped conceiving. A uterine curettage surgery must be arranged immediately."

The fetus stopped growing? I was completely stunned, tears streaming down my face. I felt like I had been sentenced to life imprisonment.

Then she wiped her tears, endured the pain, sat up, and looked at the ultrasound doctor.

"You lied to me, didn't you?"

The doctor shook his head.

"You're lying. I take pregnancy-preserving medicine every day. How could I possibly have a miscarriage? I live my life very carefully every day, trying not to let my child get hurt. There's no way he could have a miscarriage."

I kept shaking my head and suddenly looked at the ultrasound doctor, who was shocked by me.

"My child is still alive, I won't do any uterine curettage."

I climbed out of bed and opened the door with my aching body. Xiao Shi was standing outside the door. When he saw me come out, he hurriedly asked me how my child was.

I held his hand and begged him to take me away.

"They wanted to murder my child."

"Ms. Yu, I'm a doctor. I won't lie to you. Your baby really has miscarriage and you must have a uterine curettage. Otherwise, if the residual tissue in the uterus is not removed in time, it will cause infertility." The ultrasound doctor hurriedly chased out and called the obstetrician and gynecologist who treated me in the corridor.

"If I don't do it, my child can't die. He can't die." I looked up at Xiao Shi with red eyes and asked Xiao Shi to take me home.

The gynecologist rushed over, understood the situation, went into the room, looked at the image, came out and shook her head, saying that the fetus had indeed stopped growing, and it had been stopped for several days, and it had only now caused bleeding.

"I've seen your medical records. I think it might be related to your short-term pregnancy. This pregnancy is only two months apart from your last one. Maybe your uterus didn't recover well before, and you got pregnant suddenly, so..."

"Xiao Wan. I know you can't accept it, but your health is the most important thing. You have always been a rational person, and the doctor will not lie to you." Xiao Shi looked at me and informed the doctor to prepare for surgery.

I hurriedly shook my head and said no.

I put my hands on my lower abdomen and said that my child was still alive, I didn't want any uterine cleaning surgery, and I couldn't let my child leave me.

Xiao Shi held my shoulders and looked at me with concern.

"Xiao Wan, calm down. The fetus has already stopped moving. If you don't have a uterine evacuation in time, it will have an impact on your health in the future."

I looked at Xiao Shi with tears in my eyes and burst into tears.

"How could this happen? Why is this happening? I'm taking pregnancy-preserving medicine every day, so why can't I keep this baby? Why?"

I was ready to be a single mother. I had a beautiful future planned for my child. I was even thinking about giving him a nice name. But why was God so cruel to me? Why didn't he even give me a single handout?

"Do you want me to call Jiang Ruohe?"

I hurriedly shook my head. Jiang Ruohe didn't know anything about this.

"Notify the doctor to prepare for surgery."

Xiao Shi reached out and picked me up, and quickly went into the operating room.

I lay in the operating room with tears streaming down my face, murmuring why.

I wanted to ask the doctor to let me not have anesthesia, but she refused, saying that I was too thin and could not bear the pain.

After the anesthesiologist gave me intravenous anesthesia, I lost all consciousness. When I woke up, I found myself lying on the hospital bed. Xiao Shi was sitting beside the bed, looking at me anxiously.

I reached out and gently stroked my lower abdomen, tears falling.

Xiao Shi reached out and gently stroked the tear marks on my face. At this moment, his phone rang. After hanging up, he told me that Xiaoyu had brought me some soup and that he had bought a lot of supplements, so he went downstairs to get them for Xiaoyu.

I didn't say anything, just looked at the ceiling and cried.

After a while, there was a bang and the door of the ward was kicked open. I looked up at the person outside the door.

Jiang Ruohe was standing at the door with a scarlet face. The veins on his forehead were throbbing, and his whole face turned a dark red. He clenched his fists and strode in.
