When Shang Lin came out of the bathroom after changing his clothes, Xing Tian had calmed down. "Sect Master, let's use the old method, but Sect Master should go downstairs for breakfast first, lest..."

"No need, let's go to your house first." Although they got off the train at five in the morning, it was already past six now. If they didn't go to Xing Tian's house soon, what if they ran out of time?

Hu Tangdi, Xing Tian's female classmate from out of town, immediately went online. She took Shang Lin straight to Xing Tian's house. When they arrived, Xing Tian's parents were having breakfast.

Upon seeing Hu Tangdi and the young boy behind her, the couple were both taken aback.

Hu Tangdi hurriedly presented the gift and said with a smile, "Hello, Uncle and Aunt. I came here on vacation with my younger brother and stopped by to visit you. Aunt, are you pregnant?"

Shang Lin also said very politely, "Hello, Uncle and Aunt."

Mrs. Xing immediately pulled her in, "Come in, come in! You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Come, come, let's eat together."

Given the good impression Hu Tangdi had made when he visited before, and Xing's mother's own imagination that this might be someone her son liked in his previous life, or even a girlfriend they didn't know about, oh, and the valuable gifts she had brought before, they were especially kind to her.

Originally, Mr. Xing was very wary and his attitude towards Hu Tangdi was much worse than that towards his wife. However, after the recent backlash from relatives and friends who took advantage of their misfortune and still showed some consideration for his son's classmate, Mr. Xing felt that they had received help in their time of need, and his attitude naturally changed a lot.

As for their motives, all they can get now is money, but the medicinal herbs in the gifts Hu Tangdi sent are quite expensive, suggesting they are not from an ordinary family. Whether they are after their money is another matter.

Hu Tangdi has a special talent for acting. With just a few words, he completely charmed Xing Tian's parents. He even suggested when they mentioned going to the hospital, "Auntie is an older mother, which is very risky. She should go to different hospitals for examinations and compare the results to determine which hospital is more suitable for her to give birth."

Mr. Xing said instinctively, "The doctor who did your aunt's prenatal checkups is someone we've known for many years..."

Before she could finish speaking, she added, "You're right, your aunt is an older mother, so we must take this seriously."

Hu Tangdi hurriedly said, "Let my siblings and I go with Uncle and Auntie. We'll go to the hotel after Auntie is admitted to the hospital."

Mrs. Xing wanted to agree immediately, but she still politely said, "Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?"

Hu Tangdi smiled sweetly, "How could that be? We're just out having fun, and summer vacation has only just begun, so we have plenty of time."

Mr. Xing immediately said, "Okay, let's go."

So after breakfast, Xing Tian's parents and Hu Tangdi, the "siblings," went straight to the hospital. Shang Lin secretly gave Hu Tangdi a thumbs up. If the circumstances weren't so inappropriate, he would have genuinely praised him.

But in his heart he thought, "The fox clan is indeed exceptionally talented when it comes to bewitching people."

Mr. Xing used his financial resources to take Mrs. Xing to one of the top three obstetrics and gynecology hospitals in the city for a checkup. The results from all three hospitals were consistent: the baby was eight and a half months old and the fetal heartbeat was unstable.

Seeing the test results, Mr. Xing didn't dare tell his wife, but he was furious. He was also very grateful to Hu Tangdi and her brother for accompanying them, otherwise he wouldn't know how to hide it from his wife.

At this moment, Hu Tangdi was with his wife, and the little boy was by his side, asking him very obediently, "Uncle doesn't look well, is he suffering from heatstroke?"

"It's nothing." Mr. Xing sat weakly on a chair in the hospital corridor. "I'm just a little tired. I'll feel better after sitting for a while."

Shang Lin came to the hospital not only to accompany Qiu Niang, but also to find a good family for her. Unfortunately, he was a man and it was not appropriate for him to be too direct when looking at pregnant women, so after visiting three hospitals, none of them met his standards.

Moreover, judging from Mr. Xing's condition, he probably already knows that the doctor who examined Ms. Xing earlier deceived them, but unfortunately, he has no time to question them at this time.

However, Xing's mother was still hospitalized. Xing's father was extremely anxious and tried his best to stay with her in the hospital. If he had to leave, he would have Hu Tangdi and her siblings, along with the family's bodyguards, guard her.

Originally, Xing Tianjia didn't have any bodyguards, but now they've arranged as many as they can. As for spending money, well, why wouldn't they spend it at a time like this? Would they just let others benefit from it?

During this time, Mr. Xing also had an open and frank talk with Hu Tangdi and his sister. He directly stated, "I trust my son's judgment and he won't misjudge people. But if you don't want anything in return, I'm not sure if you'll help me stay with my wife. Why don't you tell me what you think?"

Hu Tangdi was taken aback. She was not good at dealing with such directness at all. She subconsciously wanted to look at Shang Lin, but then she heard him say, "Uncle is a straightforward person. We do have something in mind."

After saying that, Shang Lin took out the whitening and spot-fading cream that they had made long ago and showed it to Mr. Xing. "We have the technology and the quality, but we don't have production and sales channels. I wonder if we can cooperate with you. Of course, we also have other beauty products, but I won't introduce them one by one at the moment."

As a man who had never been involved in the beauty industry, Mr. Xing couldn't see anything special about the product in his hand. He said, "I need to have someone verify this before I can decide whether or not to cooperate with you."

Shang Lin smiled slightly, "Of course. And I promise that we will stay with Madam during this time until she safely gives birth to the baby."

"Will I be able to give birth safely? Will I be healthy after birth?"

The illness and death of his son are painful memories that this father can never forget.

What could Shang Lin say? He could only say, "Good people are always blessed by heaven."

However, Shang Lin said, "We will stay with Madam," but this wasn't just a simple act of being there; it meant taking strict precautions in every aspect. Yet, the baby's fetal heartbeat remained unstable, even showing a trend of weakening day by day. Moreover, the hospital couldn't detect this weakness and continued treatment using the old methods.

Shang Lin had no choice but to release Xing Tian and have a serious talk with him in the stairwell. “I’m afraid we have no other choice but to let Qiu Niang live in place of the baby. Even if he is born successfully, he probably won’t live for long.”

Xing Tian's eyes immediately reddened, but he asked, "Sect Master, can you confirm whether this is because my mother is an older mother, or whether someone has tampered with her?"

Shang Lin spoke frankly, "I can't be sure, because any of these situations are possible, but the priority now is to save lives, not only for the baby, but also for your mother. Giving birth to a strong child is completely different from giving birth to a dying child. As for a C-section, the risks are greater at her age."
