It is said that the typhoon that is about to arrive will be the largest in nearly 20 years.
Chen Rou also felt as if a typhoon was raging through her body.
The morning sickness did not disappear after she found out she was pregnant. Although the doctor prescribed her nutritional supplements and she tried to keep her home and diet as bland as possible, from the maid to herself and the Nie siblings, perfume was completely banned.
She replaced all the air fresheners in the house with lemon scents, which are more suitable for pregnant women. However, Chen Rou would feel nauseous and dizzy around lunchtime every day. In addition, with the typhoon coming these days, she felt so suffocated that she couldn't breathe.
She happened to come to see Nie Han today, so she went to the obstetrics and gynecology hospital to ask if there were any medications that could reduce pregnancy symptoms.
The doctor advised against pregnant women taking medication, and even said with a smile, "You just need to rest in bed for a while longer."
Chen Rou asked, "Three days, five days, or ten days?"
She can only tolerate the illness for a maximum of ten days. If she can get better by lying down, then she will lie down for ten days.
But the doctor smiled and said, "In general, the symptoms will disappear in about six months."
Chen Rou did the math: "You mean I'm going to be dizzy for the next six months?"
Then she thought again and said, "I can't even eat, and my work is being severely affected. If everyone is like this, then pregnant women will have a very hard time. What if someone can't handle the morning sickness?"
The doctor was still smiling and said, "There are also cases where the pregnancy is terminated because the mother can't bear it anymore, but isn't that what makes mothers great? You've worked so hard to raise your baby, but you have to believe that your baby will be the person who loves you most in this world. Once he's born, you'll find that everything you've endured is worth it."
This is utter nonsense. It ostensibly praises mothers, but it's actually a way of binding women.
Chen Rou pondered for a moment, then asked again: "So there are still women who can't stand the morning sickness and terminate their pregnancies."
The doctor admitted, "I have treated patients who vomited up bile and had to have a miscarriage."
Chen Rou hasn't reached that point yet. She understands that the fetus and the mother are two different people. Her body wants to reject his presence, while he wants a comfortable environment where he can stay for ten months. The two forces in her body will fight each other.
It was just a consultation; the doctor listened to the fetal heartbeat, and the prenatal checkup was over.
She went downstairs because she heard that a typhoon was expected to make landfall tomorrow or the day after, and she needed to go see Li Xia.
The high-rise building where she lives is most vulnerable to typhoons, and she was worried that Li Xia would be frightened.
As soon as she left, the doctor immediately made a phone call. When the other end answered, he said, "It's me, Chairman Nie. Your wife has just left. She seems to be more troubled by morning sickness than you expected."
After a pause, she said, "Yes, she specifically consulted about terminating the pregnancy."
Standing in front of the company's floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the towering concrete jungle before him, Nie Zhao said softly, "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, he bumped it against his head and suddenly asked, "Is everything settled with Li Xia?"
Secretary An was standing at the door, and said in a low voice, "It's all done."
Nie Zhao then asked, "What about Master Er and Master Dong? You've taken care of them, haven't you?"
Secretary An said, "As you know, Kowloon is most afraid of being flooded. And those two are competing to do charity work. During this typhoon, they were competing with each other. I went to visit them, but I couldn't stop them."
Two eighty-year-old men, almost at the end of their lives, I have no idea what they're arguing about.
He added, "Go home now, get your own homes sorted out first, and then meet up at Repulse Bay."
Secretary An quickly agreed, "Okay."
He then said, "Thank you, Old Tenth Board."
The house is in a good location with a wide view, so it's comfortable to live in, but it's not so comfortable when a typhoon comes.
That mansion in Repulse Bay is the kind of place that gets destroyed by every typhoon.
Secretary An is experienced now, and although Nie Zhao is not as dependent on him as Nie Rong and has clear boundaries, Nie Zhao's advantage is that he always thinks of others. If he asks Nie Zhao to bring people to guard the gate, he will also ask him to settle his home first.
Secretary An left, and Nie Zhao, who was already worried about some things at the company, heard that his wife had asked about terminating the pregnancy. As someone who was prone to overthinking and internal strife, he became even more conflicted.
What if a little brat who causes so much trouble for his mother really doesn't want him anymore?
But what can he do if he can't help her during her pregnancy?
The sky was overcast, the roads were jammed with cars, dark clouds loomed overhead, and even though it was only afternoon, the office was as dark as night.
Suddenly, Nie Zhao's eyes lit up, then he frowned. He rushed outside, grabbed the key from Secretary An's office, and went downstairs. By the time the two bodyguards were about to get on the elevator, the doors had already closed. Not knowing where he was going, they quickly used their walkie-talkies to call the security guards on the first floor and the basement, asking them to keep an eye on him and find another elevator.
Nie Zhao went downstairs because he had just seen Chen Rou riding a motorcycle across Central and heading towards the apartment building.
He was coming to Taitong right away. Nie Han's illness wasn't important, so why did she have to go to the hospital? His intuition was that she had come specifically because she was considering aborting the baby. And now she was going to see Li Xia again.
Girls usually like to talk to their mothers when they have important matters to discuss, so Boss Nie suspected that she might have gone to Li Xia for advice.
Of course he wouldn't want to, because he's almost 30, not young anymore. Fortunately, he still has the energy, patience, and the ability to educate and teach children. But once he gets older, his energy will inevitably wane. He knows best how difficult it was for Nie Rong when Nie Zhen died, given how large the Nie family business is.
It was because of the difficulties and the lack of energy that he handed over a large number of businesses to Mei Lu.
Fortunately, he wasn't too senile and didn't transfer the property to Mei Lu.
Otherwise, the Nie family would not have a continuous cash flow to acquire land and expand their territory.
He needs a child, a child like Chen Rou, a child he can entrust his back to.
Fearing that his child might get lost, Boss Nie drove his car out of the underground parking garage.
But when he came out, he was stunned.
Money isn't everything. Just like a traffic jam, you can't just bulldoze all the cars on the road.
Fortunately, it wasn't far away, less than a kilometer apart. So Mr. Nie abandoned his car and walked to the apartment to intercept his wife. However, he overlooked one problem: he was the landlord who collected rent from that apartment building, but he had only been there twice before. He could see the building, but he didn't know the way in.
