His mistress was not only pregnant, but she also wouldn't leave him alone. No matter how much he pleaded, warned, or threatened her, she wouldn't listen.

He was at his wit's end and was just about to find a subordinate to take the blame when his lover went to his hometown to find his over eighty-year-old mother.

His elderly mother gave him a scathing scolding over the phone, eventually dragging out his ancestors for eighteen generations, all to express the same point.

Even though that jealous and shrewish wife in the family can't have a son, she can't be without a grandson. Even if the family line is really going to end, it can't end in her son's hands.

The man was a filial son. He waited until his mother finished scolding him before speaking. He had only one question: who could guarantee that the child in his mistress's belly was definitely a son?

His eighty-year-old mother smiled happily and told him that he didn't need to worry. Before calling him, she had already taken his lover to the hospital for a checkup, and it turned out to be a boy.

"It's a boy!" His eighty-year-old mother practically shouted the three words, showing just how happy she was.

Somehow, he seemed to be influenced by his mother and became happy about his lover's pregnancy.

He's finally going to have a son!

Isn't that right?

While I was happy, another worry arose: how could I keep it from my shrewish wife?

He racked his brains, thinking and thinking, and when he was almost at his wit's end, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he actually thought of someone who could help him.

The deputy's daughter is pregnant, around the same time as his lover's pregnancy.

The deputy owes him a huge favor. So many years have passed, the interest alone must be enormous. It's time to ask her for it back.

The deputy... received a call from the man and was still joking with him. As Huiwen became pregnant, her personality became more and more cheerful. He even brought her water to wash her feet last night, which moved her to tears and made her extremely happy.

After a few jokes, she realized something was wrong and asked the man directly what had happened.

The man didn't hesitate or be shy about asking; instead, he directly said he wanted the vice-president to do him a favor.

At that time, the rank of deputy was not as high as that of a man. After a brief moment of stunned silence when he asked for her help, she quickly realized that his help was to repay the debt of gratitude she owed him.

A very bad feeling welled up inside her, and sure enough, her feeling was right.

The man's demands for her repayment of debts were related to the child in Huiwen's womb.

His plan was this: when his mistress gave birth to the child and brought it home, he would tell his wife that the child was born to his wife's daughter, Huiwen.

Because Huiwen has a mental health issue and is always thinking about hurting the child, we let him take the child home to care for him temporarily.

"Then what about my own grandson?" the deputy interrupted him.

Huiwen's belly didn't look like twins at all, and besides, the man's wife was known for being cautious and suspicious, so she would definitely check.

The man, relying on the favor owed to him by the deputy, shamelessly said four words: "Do whatever you want."

What a huge joke!

Huiwen's child, she not only couldn't raise by her side, but also had to treat it as something insignificant and carelessly disposed of.

She definitely can't do that.

The man knew that getting the deputy to agree on the first call was difficult, so after hanging up that call, he would call the deputy every few days.

The deputy... always gives perfunctory answers.

Nothing in the world is faster than time. Soon, it will be time for Huiwen to give birth. According to the deputy..., Huiwen may give birth any day. It would be better for Xu Xiusen to stay away from business trips and stay with Huiwen during this period.

As a result, Xu Xiusen calculated the time and, considering that the business trip would only last three days, decided to go.

It just so happened that Huiwen had a stomachache on the very night Xu Xiusen went on his business trip. In those days, mobile phones were not as common as they are now. People who could afford mobile phones were either big bosses or nouveau riche.

Moreover, back then, mobile phones weren't called mobile phones; they were "brick-sized" phones.

Huiwen's stomach pain came on suddenly, and the deputy... didn't have time to send a telegram to Xu Xiusen, so he sent Huiwen to the hospital first.

The birth went smoothly, and it was the granddaughter that the woman had always wanted.

Holding his newborn, soft, tender, and pink granddaughter, the vice president was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. He secretly vowed to himself that he would make up for the money he had wasted on Huiwen with this child.

This is her precious darling, her lifeblood.

I had just put the baby back in the cradle when someone knocked on the door of the ward.

She quickly frowned, afraid of waking Huiwen, and hurried to open the door.

Standing outside the ward was indeed an acquaintance; upon seeing the deputy... his face was full of smiles.

The deputy's heart skipped a beat. Why was he here?

The newcomer seemed to see right through what the deputy was thinking, and without beating around the bush, stated his purpose directly.

The vice-principal... naturally wouldn't agree; how could she possibly abandon her own granddaughter?

Just as I was thinking about how to get around it, suddenly, a muffled loud thud came from beside me, followed by a scream.

A strong sense of unease welled up in the deputy's heart, and he quickly turned around and pushed open the door to the ward.

As soon as the door opened, a gust of wind swept towards her. The wind felt cold on her face and even colder on her heart. It was the coldest wind she had ever experienced in her life.

Because she saw that the window directly opposite the door was wide open, and the hospital bed was empty. Huiwen... where did she go?

The baby, who was sleeping soundly in the crib, suddenly started crying without any warning. All of this indicated that something had happened to Huiwen.
