Chapter 80 Give Her a Choice

As the sky darkened, the number of people in the hospital gradually decreased.

Ms. Su picked some fresh fruits at the fresh food supermarket in front of the hospital. When she returned to the ward, Shi Jingyuan had already left.

"What about the hour? Gone?"

Ms. Su put the fruit on the table, took another pomegranate, peeled it, and put the pomegranate seeds into the plate one by one.

Lin You sat on the hospital bed in a daze, her eyes somewhat empty. Ms. Su called her several times before she came back to her senses.

Ms. Su asked, "What are you thinking about? Why are you so absent-minded?"

Lin You took the plate of pomegranate seeds and ate the pomegranates casually. After a while, she looked up at Ms. Su.

"mom……"

Ms. Su sat back on the sofa and was looking at the message she had just received on her phone about the training address.

Hearing this, she raised her head slightly, "What's wrong? Didn't you have a bad conversation with Xiaoshi just now? Is he still pestering you?"

Lin You shook his head, "He didn't bother me."

So far, he has not done anything to hurt her, and he has not imposed his affection on her in a domineering manner.

Objectively speaking, Lin You had no reason to blame him.

It's just that Shi Yanran...

The pomegranate seeds in his mouth tasted a bit sour when chewed, so Lin You stopped after eating a few.

After reading the training information, Ms. Su finally remembered what she had just said. "What did you want to say when you called me?"

Lin You's eyes darkened and he forced a smile.

"Nothing, I forgot what I was going to say."

Ms. Su rolled her eyes at her and said, "You silly girl, how are you going to take care of Xiao Cheng when you get married?"

Lin You was stunned. "Mom, Cheng Hao and I are still far from getting married."

"Oh," Ms. Su said with a forced smile, "Who knows whether it's far or not. When I just left, Xiao Cheng called me back. Just like you said, he's busy on a business trip."

Lin You responded calmly, thinking to herself that it was a good thing she had found a chance to send a WeChat message to Cheng Hao in the afternoon to communicate in advance.

Cheng Hao was indeed a good teammate, and he dispelled Ms. Su's doubts with just a few words.

Ms. Su smiled brightly when she mentioned Cheng Hao. "Xiao Cheng said that he will return to Jinggang City the day after tomorrow and will treat me to a meal then."

Lin You: “…”

Ms. Su ate the pomegranate happily, not feeling the sourness at all. "Xiao Cheng's personality is just like your father back then. He's prudent and considerate towards his elders. He's a good match..."

Later, Ms. Su praised it a lot more.

Lin You listened silently, but his thoughts gradually drifted away.

She remembered the question Shi Jingyuan asked when he left.

She had no strength to resist Shi Yanran who was eyeing her covetously.

She understood that Shi Jingyuan meant that as long as she stood by his side, Shi Yanran would not do anything to her.

This problem that was difficult for her to solve can be easily solved.

"Lin You, I don't mind you using me, even if it's just pretending to stay by my side."

These were Shi Jingyuan's original words, but she did not accept them.

She wanted to live a simple life, but she also wanted to live as a human being. She would rather not have the humiliation of becoming a bargaining chip just to survive.

The next morning, after the doctor checked Lin You's wounds, he suggested that she could be discharged from the hospital.

Ms. Su accompanied her to complete the discharge procedures, sent her back to the apartment, and then rushed to the hospital for business training.

When colleagues in the department heard that Lin You had injured her hand, they created a separate group and everyone chatted with each other, expressing their concern for her in a joking manner.

Lin You sat on the lazy chair by the window, typing with one hand, slowly responding to his colleagues' concerns.

Finally, her finger stopped in front of a portrait.

The message interface with Chen Lingling is still stuck at two days ago.

While she was unconscious, Chen Lingling sent a message with only three words: "I'm sorry."

Afterwards, Lin You called and sent messages, but Chen Lingling did not respond.

When she contacted her colleagues just now, she also asked about Chen Lingling's news.

A colleague said that he did not see Chen Lingling in the human resources department, and the human resources manager said that Chen Lingling seemed to have taken a leave of absence.

Lin You frowned, feeling angry and worried.

After thinking about it, she decided to go to where Chen Lingling lived and try to find her.

Chen Lingling lives in a community not far from the city center. The community caters to high-end customers and has complete supporting facilities. Similarly, the rent is also high.

Lin You once advised her that instead of spending most of the rent to live in this place, it would be better to move to an ordinary community and make life more comfortable for herself.

But Chen Lingling was very stubborn about this. She said she had reasons for having to live here.

Lin You had been here several times. After registering at the gate of the community, he walked towards Apartment Building 16.

There is plenty of green space in the community, and many people walk their dogs on the paths.

She came to the door of Building 16, and a tall man wearing a mask came out leading a Samoyed.

The dog was very naughty. It rushed to Lin You and sniffed her bag fiercely.

The Samoyed was so strong that the owner almost couldn't hold it back. He could only apologize and explain, "It's not usually like this. It might like the pendant you put on it."

"This was a gift from my friend. It's really popular with pets. My cat also loves to play with it."

Lin You chatted casually for a few words and then touched the dog's head.

The naughty dog was eventually forcibly pulled away by its owner.

Lin You glanced at the man's back and felt a sense of familiarity, but couldn't remember where he had seen him.

Unable to figure it out, she stopped thinking about it, withdrew her gaze and walked into the building.

She took the elevator to the 13th floor, stood at Chen Lingling's door and raised her hand to knock. After knocking twice, hurried footsteps were heard in the room.

The visitor seemed impatient to open the door.

Chen Lingling had a happy smile on her face at first, but when she saw Lin You, her smile visibly collapsed.

"So it's you."

She seemed disappointed.

Lin You pursed his lips and snorted coldly, "It seems that I came here for nothing."

Seeing her preparing to turn around, Chen Lingling quickly grabbed her arm and said, "Youyou, don't go. Come in first."

Lin You looked up, his eyes fell on her red and swollen eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he reluctantly followed her in.

Lin You sat on the sofa with her arms folded across her chest, her sharp eyes fixed on Chen Lingling who was pouring water for her.

"Sister, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation! Otherwise, our friendship will be completely overturned."

Chen Lingling put the cup of water in front of her with an expression as if she had done something wrong, and then sat down on the small stool opposite her with a sullen look.

She hesitated to speak for a long time before finally making up her mind to speak.

Just this first sentence scared Lin You half to death.

"I am pregnant!"

Lin You thought he was hallucinating and was so surprised that his voice almost broke.

"What are you, pregnant with?"
