Chapter 151 Taking Charge
Zhu Jin sat behind his desk, holding the report, motionless for a long time, making it impossible to see his expression.
After a while, he instructed the servant, "Go and invite Miss Chen over."
Soon, when Shen Shuangmiao entered the study, she immediately saw the familiar medical report on his desk.
Her heart sank instantly, and her face turned deathly pale.
He still found out.
Zhu Jin didn't look at Shen Shuangmiao: "Pack your things, I'll have someone take you to the Su family's old residence."
Shen Shuangmiao was stunned, almost thinking she had misheard: "What?"
"Grandma's place is quiet and suitable for recuperation."
Zhu Jin still didn't turn around. "Go stay there for a while, and let's not see each other for the time being."
Don't want to meet?
Shen Shuangmiao stepped forward, her voice trembling: "Zhu Jin, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to get rid of me?"
"I'm not kicking you out."
Zhu Jin finally turned around and looked at her, his eyes deep, filled with a resolute determination she couldn't comprehend.
"You just need a quiet environment to recuperate, and I'm unable to take care of you and the child."
“I don’t need to be taken care of.” Shen Shuangmiao looked at him stubbornly. “I’m not going anywhere, I’m staying here! Zhu Jin, I’m not going anywhere until you change your mind, understand?”
She didn't understand why, after Zhu Jin learned of the child's existence, he didn't abandon his thoughts of death, but instead pushed her away immediately.
What exactly does he want to do? Does he really want to die?
"You must go."
Zhu Jin's attitude was firm: "The car is ready, I'll take you there this afternoon."
"Zhu Jin!"
Shen Shuangmiao was both anxious and angry, tears welling up in her eyes.
"What exactly do you want? This is your child! You don't mean to..."
"That's exactly why!" Zhu Jin suddenly interrupted her, somewhat agitated.
He forced himself to suppress his emotions and regain his composure. "Listen to me, go to Grandma's first, we'll talk about the rest later."
He didn't give her a chance to argue, pressed the call button, and directly told the maid waiting outside to come in, "Help Miss Chen pack her luggage."
Shen Shuangmiao felt helpless as she looked at his deliberately evasive gaze.
She couldn't understand him, she never could.
When he was determined to die, where did he place this unexpectedly arrived child?
Shen Shuangmiao stood there, watching the maids silently pack up her belongings, and felt a chill run down her spine.
"Zhu Jin, do you want this child?"
Zhu Jin remained silent.
"As long as you want it, as long as you're willing to live, I can keep this child," Shen Shuangmiao said calmly, but her tone was firm.
Zhu Jin did not answer: "Let's go."
"you……"
Shen Shuangmiao was furious.
She had nothing to say and stormed off in a huff.
After she left, Zhu Jin shifted his gaze to the direction she had gone, his eyes reddening.
Shen Shuangmiao eventually returned to the Su family's old residence.
Zhu Jin did not show up; only the driver and bodyguards helped her into the car.
Shen Shuangmiao sat in the car, looking out the window, her heart sinking lower and lower.
Seeing her bad mood, the driver exchanged a glance with the bodyguard: "Miss Chen, you've always wanted to get rid of our master, shouldn't you be happy now?"
Shen Shuangmiao opened her mouth, unsure how to answer.
She lowered her head and forced a smile: "Never mind, I don't want to say anything."
Seeing this, the driver stopped talking.
Madam Su seemed to have anticipated Shen Shuangmiao's return, so she didn't ask any questions and simply settled her in a room that had been prepared beforehand.
"Stay here and relax, this is your home."
The old lady gently patted the back of her hand, her voice soft.
Shen Shuangmiao forced a smile, her helplessness almost overflowing.
She had settled down and was just about to go to sleep when Old Madam Su came into her room with a hesitant expression on her face.
“Shuangmiao,” the old lady said carefully, her voice very soft, “Zhu Jin just called.”
Shen Shuangmiao's heart skipped a beat. She looked up, a faint glimmer of hope flashing in her eyes.
Did he regret it?
However, the old lady's next words shattered her hopes.
“He said…” The old lady paused, seemingly reluctant, but still conveyed the truth, “Whether you keep the child in your belly or not is your own business. He respects any decision you make, but this child has nothing to do with him, and he… will not take responsibility.”
It has nothing to do with him.
They will not take responsibility.
The color drained from Shen Shuangmiao's face, her lips trembled, but she couldn't utter a sound.
He's still going to die.
Even knowing about the existence of this new life, he still did not change his mind.
It was as if the child belonged only to her and had nothing to do with Zhu Jin.
With a tender heart, Madam Su embraced her tightly, gently stroking her back to offer silent comfort.
"That's his child! Doesn't he even have a shred of remembrance left? Does he really want to disappear completely?"
The old lady sighed, her eyes filled with pity and helplessness: "That child is stuck in a rut. He doesn't want to live anymore and feels that he is not worthy of being a father. What he did may be the best arrangement for you and the child."
"The best arrangement?"
Shen Shuangmiao raised her tearful eyes, her gaze filled with mockery, "Making decisions about life and death on his own, shirking responsibility for the child, what makes him think this is the best arrangement!"
The old lady couldn't answer, so she could only hug her tighter.
It took Shen Shuangmiao a long time to calm down, leaving only a silent sigh. It felt like there was a huge hole in her heart, letting in a lot of cold air.
The old lady said gently, "Alright, don't think about it so much. You're not alone now, you need to take care of yourself."
Seeing that Shen Shuangmiao was still downcast, the old lady thought for a moment and said, "I have invited a few of my old friends over for afternoon tea tomorrow afternoon. They are all gentle and kind elders. Why don't you come down and sit with them? It's better to relax than to stay cooped up in your room alone."
Shen Shuangmiao had no interest in anything at the moment, but seeing the old man's worried eyes, she couldn't bear to refuse and finally nodded weakly, "Okay."
She really doesn't know what to do now.
What else could she do? Was she really just going to watch him leave?
The baby in my belly...
It seems he really doesn't care anymore.
Zhu Jin really had the heart to leave the decision to her.
Without her child, she would be tormented by her conscience; with her child, she would be a single mother.
Zhu Jin is really that cruel, doing whatever he wants and becoming a hands-off manager.
Shen Shuangmiao grew angrier the more she thought about it.
Unable to control her emotions, she picked up her phone to call Zhu Jin, but then stopped.
Zhu Jin doesn't plan to contact her anymore; he has the old lady relay his messages.
Is there any need for contact now?
Shen Shuangmiao gave a self-deprecating laugh.
Zhu Jin just went his own way, and no one knows who ultimately suffered the most.
