As soon as Chu Yuanpu opened her eyes, she smelled a strong disinfectant odor.

Ning's International Hospital, Special Care Ward 101.

A woman dressed in a Chanel magenta suit was on the phone, her tone displeased, "Mo Chen, come over here! Yes! You're so useless!"

Having received the plot details in advance, Chu Yuan quickly understood the situation before her.

Simply put, she was a surrogate mother, and then she had a second miscarriage.

The first time, the embryo was transferred only a few days ago and then it went into a biochemical pregnancy. It was even worse than this time when I suddenly miscarried at three months!

The Ning family is the richest family in Beicheng. They are a large and powerful family with the Ning Group spread across various industries, including the internet, technology, healthcare, real estate, and cultural entertainment. Their output value is enormous, and it is no exaggeration to say that they are rolling in money.

The person she wants to win over, Ning Mochen, is the adopted son of the Ning family.

The old man of the Ning family had three sons, all of whom died young, except for his youngest son who had a daughter before he died.

The family business has no heir.

The old man didn't want to give away the fruits of his life's hard work to an untrustworthy outsider, so after much deliberation, he adopted a little boy from an orphanage.

This little boy is Ning Mochen.

We will provide hands-on training, set strict requirements, and leave no room for compromise, determined to cultivate textbook-perfect successors.

When the time comes, if he can be paired up with his granddaughter, wouldn't that continue the Ning family's century-long glory?

Ning Mochen is indeed exceptional in both intelligence and emotional intelligence. He finished high school at the age of twelve, graduated with a doctorate in business administration at the age of twenty, went abroad for further studies for two years, and then returned to marry by imperial decree. He took over the Ning family business and became the young president of the Ning Group.

Living up to Old Master Ning's expectations, Ning Mochen, with his strong and decisive approach, overcame numerous obstacles in six years, integrating the Ning family's scattered industrial resources and making a strong foray into the internet industry through ByteDance. He successfully expanded the Ning Group's output value several times over, earning the approval of both the board of directors and Old Master Ning.

However, while he was successful in business, he was unsuccessful in love.

The Ning family's little princess was forced by the pressure from the old master Ning to marry Ning Mochen, but she didn't actually like him at all. Instead, she was secretly in love with a dance instructor, making Ning Mochen a huge cuckold. She even moved out and lived with the dance instructor as husband and wife.

It almost made Old Master Ning die of anger.

But since he was her only blood relative, she couldn't bring herself to kill him.

Ning Mochen, whether disheartened or simply indifferent, was completely focused on his business, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

Until Ning Muwan had an argument with her dance instructor and went to the beach to clear her head, she was apparently swept away by the sea, and her fate is unknown.

The Ning family searched tirelessly for four years, but to no avail.

The dance instructor was also sent to prison by Grandpa Ning using his connections, where he now lives off the government forever.

But what's gone is gone, and with Old Master Ning's health failing and his old cancer recurring, he was nearing the end of his life. There was no other way but for Madam Ning to fulfill Old Master Ning's dying wish, she carefully selected a beautiful girl from a poor family with a simple and easy-going personality to be a surrogate mother for the Ning family and give birth to a child belonging to the Ning family.

Otherwise, once the old man passes away and Ning Mochen takes control of the group and becomes all-powerful, will the Ning family still be the Ning family?

After the child was born, according to Old Master Ning's will, Ning Mochen would have to continue working for the Ning family.

This child's mother's genes are from Ning Muwan. When she was 18, Grandpa Ning took precautions and had her eggs retrieved and stored, which unexpectedly came in handy.

Come to think of it, Ning Muwan hasn't had a child with her dance instructor in over six years. I wonder whose fault it is.

The child's father's genes naturally belong to Ning Mochen.

The reason why Old Master Ning was wary of Ning Mochen was because he was too outstanding. On the one hand, he was proud of his original choice, and on the other hand, he was terrified in the face of such excellent genes, yet he shamefully wanted to continue to steal and inherit this terrifying legacy.

"This old man is a real fox. He's got more than eight hundred tricks up his sleeve, he'd need at least eight thousand!" Chu Yuan thought to herself.

Just then, the man's slender wrist, which had meticulously rolled up half of its sleeve, paused on the doorknob.

A moment later, he pushed open the door and entered.

What fell into Chu Yuan's eyes was a face like a sculpted god.

Wearing a pair of understated yet luxurious thin-rimmed metal glasses, beneath which his deep, clear phoenix eyes resembled a tranquil pool under the moonlight, exuding a refined and modest air.

With a straight nose, full lips, and even the strands of hair seem to exude self-discipline and aloofness.

Beneath a well-tailored suit, her long, straight legs exude a silent sexiness.

Chu Yuan gripped the bedsheet and whispered a reminder in her mind: "Host, please control yourself and be careful not to be infatuated. In this world, your character is a third-year film academy student, pure and innocent. You agreed to become a surrogate mother for the Ning family in order to secure medical resources for your seriously ill grandmother."

As you've seen, highly intelligent men are the hardest to fool, so never let your carefully constructed persona crumble!

Chu Yuan understood; she was being told to be more reserved.

I can't be as proactive or flirtatious as I was in the previous worlds...

Sigh, working is tough.

Since that's the case, she should just lie there and wait and see.

After entering the ward, the man did not pay attention to Chu Yuan immediately, but walked towards the elegant middle-aged woman, his hands clasped together, holding his wristwatch: "I'm sorry, I have already spoken with Director Yan of the Reproductive Medicine Department on the phone, and we will find out the cause of the miscarriage as soon as possible."

Concise and to the point, calm and collected, without a single wasted word.

Zhou Manyun looked at him, her slightly arrogant eyes flashing with complex emotions, which finally turned into a sigh, "Mo Chen, you've suffered all these years, but your sister, sigh..."

Let this be a way of repaying the Ning family for raising us all these years.

Your grandfather... the doctor has given him an ultimatum, at most a year, so please don't hold a grudge, okay?

Ning Mochen lowered his eyes, his tone extremely indifferent, "No."

He would never forget the cruelty of the orphanage. After being adopted, the Ning family gave him the best upbringing and the most generous material conditions. Therefore, as long as his bottom line was not crossed, he would meet the Ning family's demands.

Just like all these years of painstakingly managing the Ning family's business.

In order not to break the law, Ning Mochen even got a marriage certificate with Chu Yuan, whom he had never met before.

After Ning Muwan announced her death, he was originally free, but once again he entered into an absurd marriage for the Ning family.

Chu Yuan peeked through a crack in her eye at the man not far away, lost in thought.

At this moment, Ning's mother walked towards her in high heels. "Miss Chu, stop pretending to be asleep. We all know you're awake."

The Ning family members were highly educated and understood that the two miscarriages could not be entirely blamed on Chu Yuan, after all, she was the recipient.

Her genes are entirely those of Ning Muwan and Ning Mochen.

Moreover, before signing the agreement, the hospital conducted a series of rigorous examinations on Chu Yuan, and there were no problems before they decided to hire her.

But in the end, I still felt unlucky and down on my luck.

Zhou Manyun's tone was clearly harsh.

Chu Yuan resignedly opened her eyes, dragged her weak body up, and leaned against the headboard.

She raised her face, her clear almond-shaped eyes slightly red, biting her lip, and uttered three words through tears—
