Chapter 58 Shocking News! Commander Qin is going to be a father!
The military medical center was small, but very clean.
The air smelled of Lysol.
Occasionally, doctors and nurses in white coats walk by in the corridor.
The moment Qin Lie, Jiang Wu, and Zhong Tinglan appeared, they attracted everyone's attention.
Qin Lie was the regimental commander, and Zhong Tinglan was a "big shot" from Beijing; it was hard for them not to attract attention.
The entrance to the obstetrics and gynecology department.
A female doctor in her forties, wearing glasses, and looking very kind, greeted them.
"Dr. Zhang," Qin Lie scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, "I...I brought my wife here for a check-up."
"Oh? Commander Qin." Dr. Zhang smiled. "Is your wife feeling unwell?"
Her gaze fell on Jiang Wu, then she looked at Zhong Tinglan, who had a serious expression on her face.
Dr. Zhang thought to himself, "It seems that the relationship between Commander Qin's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law isn't very good."
"It's not that I'm feeling unwell," Qin Lie grinned. "It's...it's a good thing!"
As he spoke, he used his hand to protect Jiang Wu's stomach.
It looked as if it contained a priceless treasure.
Seeing this, and then looking at Jiang Wu's flushed cheeks, Dr. Zhang immediately understood.
"Oh my, that's wonderful news!" Her smile was much more genuine.
"Quickly, sister-in-law, come in and sit down."
She warmly ushered Jiang Wu into the consultation room.
Qin Lie wanted to go in, but Dr. Zhang stopped him at the door.
"Commander Qin, you can wait outside. We women can go in for the inspection."
"No, I..." Qin Lie was still worried.
"What do you mean, 'you'!" Zhong Tinglan glanced at him coldly. "What kind of behavior is this, a grown man like you going in there! Stay outside and behave yourself!"
After saying that, she followed Qin Lie into the consultation room without waiting for his reaction, and closed the door behind her.
The way he acted didn't seem like a family member accompanying someone; he looked more like a teacher proctoring an exam.
Qin Lie was locked out and paced anxiously back and forth in the corridor.
He would press his ear against the door to listen to what was happening inside, and then he would rub his hands together, a thin layer of sweat appearing on his forehead.
The nurses passing by covered their mouths and chuckled as they watched him.
The usually stern and unsmiling "King of Hell" on the training field has actually had such a day.
...
In the consultation room.
The atmosphere was somewhat heavy.
Dr. Zhang had Jiang Wu lie down on the examination bed.
Zhong Tinglan moved a stool and sat down next to her without saying a word.
Her eyes were fixed on Dr. Zhang's every move.
That scrutinizing posture made even Dr. Zhang feel a lot of pressure.
She inwardly groaned; this "mother-in-law" from the capital was far too frightening.
"Sister-in-law, relax and don't be nervous."
While comforting Jiang Wu, Dr. Zhang began the examination.
She first asked questions.
When was your last menstrual period?
Have you experienced any discomfort recently? For example, nausea or vomiting?
Jiang Wu answered them one by one.
Zhong Tinglan listened intently from the side.
When Zhong Tinglan heard Jiang Wu say that her period was almost twenty days late, her eyelids twitched.
After completing the questioning, Dr. Zhang put on his stethoscope and began abdominal palpation.
Her hand gently pressed on Jiang Wu's flat stomach.
The consultation room was quiet, with only the ticking of the clock.
Zhong Tinglan unconsciously held her breath, and her hands quietly clenched into fists.
Rationally, she didn't want Jiang Wu to get pregnant.
Emotionally, however, when she thought that her own grandchildren might be born inside, her heart still skipped a beat.
It was a heart-pounding feeling of being connected by blood.
"Um……"
Dr. Zhang pressed for a while, then straightened up and took off the stethoscope.
"How is it?" Zhong Tinglan asked impatiently.
There was a nervousness in her voice that she herself was unaware of.
Dr. Zhang glanced at her, then at Jiang Wu, who was equally nervous, and smiled.
"Judging from the pulse, menstrual cycle, and early pregnancy symptoms, the possibility of pregnancy is very high."
"but……"
Zhong Tinglan's heart was in her throat.
"However, because the pregnancy is still very early, the changes in the uterus are not obvious, and it is not very noticeable when the abdomen is palpated."
"Alright then," Dr. Zhang walked to the table and wrote out a lab form, "Go do a urine test to check your HCG levels. That's the most accurate."
"good."
Zhong Tinglan stood up and snatched the test results from Dr. Zhang's hand.
Then, she turned to Jiang Wu and ordered, "Let's go to the lab."
With her decisive and efficient demeanor, anyone who didn't know better would think she was the one who was pregnant.
Jiang Wu felt somewhat helpless.
Under Zhong Tinglan's constant "monitoring," she went to the bathroom to collect a urine sample.
Then, Zhong Tinglan led her to the laboratory window.
"Please hurry up, this is troublesome."
Zhong Tinglan spoke coldly to the young lab technician at the window.
The lab technician was startled by her aura and quickly took the sample to run for testing.
The process of waiting for the results is very long.
Every minute, every second, felt like it was passing very slowly.
Zhong Tinglan stood motionless at the window with her hands behind her back.
Jiang Wu sat on a bench not far away, feeling a little uneasy.
Although she was 90% certain, there was always a sliver of uncertainty until the final result was announced.
finally.
The laboratory window was pushed open.
The young lab technician poked his head out with a small lab report in his hand.
His face showed excitement and joy.
"Which one of you is a family member of Comrade Jiang Wu?"
“I am!” Zhong Tinglan turned around.
"Congratulations!" The lab technician handed over the test results. "The test shows HCG positive, and the level is very high. Your daughter-in-law is indeed pregnant!"
"Moreover, judging from this indicator, the fetus is developing very well!"
Zhong Tinglan took the thin lab report, her mind blank.
We lost.
This time, she truly lost.
All the scheming, suppression, and resentment seemed so pale and powerless in the face of this test result.
She no longer had any reason to kick this woman out of the Qin family.
Because she was already carrying the Qin family's most legitimate next generation.
"I...I'm going to be a father..."
A murmur, tinged with tears, came from outside the door.
It's Qin Lie.
He had somehow gotten close to the lab door, and he had heard every word the lab technician had said.
The man, who was over six feet tall, was leaning against the wall, his hands covering his face, his shoulders shaking violently.
He cried.
She cried like a child who had received candy but couldn't believe it.
He had waited for this day for far too long.
It went on for so long that he was almost ready to give up, and the gossip outside was almost suffocating him.
Now, he can finally stand tall and tell the world.
Qin Lie is not incapable!
Qin Lie is going to be a father!
Jiang Wu's eyes welled up with tears as she looked at his silly expression, which was both crying and laughing.
She stood up, intending to go over and comfort him.
But as soon as she moved...
Zhong Tinglan suddenly made a move.
She strode up to Jiang Wu.
To Jiang Wu's astonishment, this usually proud and aloof woman actually reached out and carefully supported Jiang Wu's arm.
The movements were very gentle, as if handling a fragile piece of porcelain.
"Why did you stand up?" Zhong Tinglan's voice was still firm, but her tone was less harsh and more concerned. "Now, you are a key person under the protection of our Qin family!"
"Don't move!"
"From this moment on, everything must be done my way!"
