Chapter 149 Good News
Seeing the old lady so humble, Shen Shuangmiao felt uneasy.
She remembered everything she had lost, and she also remembered Zhu Jin's plan to die.
Wealth and power mean nothing at certain times.
They can kill, but sometimes they can't save a life.
Shen Shuangmiao closed her eyes briefly and said wearily, "I will transfer most of the assets that can generate income to your personal name, enough to guarantee your comfortable life in your later years."
"Keep these for your own safety."
Shen Shuangmiao smiled at the astonished Madam Zhao, "Let bygones be bygones."
She did not deliberately hide this from Zhu Jin.
That afternoon, Shen Shuangmiao told her about it.
After learning from his subordinates, Zhu Jin remained silent for a moment before nodding to Shen Shuangmiao.
"You did the right thing."
Shen Shuangmiao felt a slight pang in her heart. Seeing that he didn't care, she felt a strange, indescribable feeling.
He seemed indifferent to everything, including wealth.
Shen Shuangmiao became even more anxious.
Zhao Mobai, the external threat, has disappeared, but the knot in Zhu Jin's heart remains untied.
That day, Shen Shuangmiao mustered up her courage and suggested to Zhu Jin, "Zhu Jin, let's go for a walk? It's been a long time since we've been back to our university campus."
Zhu Jin turned around, his eyes somewhat vacant, as if he had no interest in the suggestion whatsoever.
"Just come with me, okay?"
Shen Shuangmiao softened her voice, which carried a hint of pleading.
Zhu Jin's eyes flickered, but he finally nodded.
Their university life was very happy and wonderful.
The two walked side by side on the familiar tree-lined path, looking at the young faces around them, as if they had returned to their college days.
Shen Shuangmiao deliberately led Zhu Jin past the library where they used to study together, to the playground where he played basketball and she brought him water, and to the place where they first held hands.
Before they knew it, they had walked to the vicinity of the cafeteria and met an old professor who still remembered them.
The professor adjusted his glasses, looked at them in surprise, and then gave them a kind smile.
"It's Zhu Jin and Shen Shuangmiao? After all these years, you're still together? That's wonderful, that's wonderful!"
Shen Shuangmiao secretly glanced at Zhu Jin, but he only nodded slightly, his face expressionless, as if the professor was telling a story that had nothing to do with him.
"Look how beautiful this place is."
Shen Shuangmiao was somewhat disappointed by his reaction, and tried to make her tone lighter, "Full of energy, right? Zhu Jin, there are still many things to look forward to in life, we..."
"Shuangmiao." Zhu Jin stopped and interrupted her. "Don't waste your time."
His voice was soft, yet it was like a bucket of ice water poured over Shen Shuangmiao's head.
"When I lose hope, nothing I see or hear will change my desire not to live."
Zhu Jin turned his head and looked at Shen Shuangmiao's face, which had turned pale instantly. A very faint bitter smile appeared on his lips.
"Beautiful things only make me look worse, so don't waste your energy."
Shen Shuangmiao opened her mouth, wanting to refute, wanting to tell Zhu Jin that it wasn't like that.
However, before he could speak, a strong feeling of nausea suddenly shot up his throat without warning.
Shen Shuangmiao suddenly covered her mouth, bent over, her stomach churning, and her vision blurred.
Zhu Jin's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously stepped forward to support her: "What's wrong?"
The nausea came on quickly and went away quickly.
Shen Shuangmiao straightened up, wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, and forced a smile: "It's nothing, I might have had a bit of heatstroke, or I ate something bad. I actually felt a little nauseous just now."
Zhu Jin frowned, his eyes filled with doubt: "But..."
"Alright, alright!"
Shen Shuangmiao avoided his gaze, her heart skipping a beat.
"Let's go first."
After saying that, she immediately walked forward, realizing something.
I've been feeling tired easily lately, and my emotions have been fluctuating a lot.
It's exactly the same as when I was pregnant last time.
She was so exhausted from dealing with Zhu Jin's situation before that she hadn't considered this possibility at all. But now...
Shen Shuangmiao dared not think any further. Suppressing the panic in her heart, she smiled at Zhu Jin and said, "I'm feeling a little unwell and I'd like to go back first."
Zhu Jin immediately sent her back.
Back at her residence, Shen Shuangmiao's heart was still pounding wildly.
She locked herself in her room and immediately used her phone to book a check-up at a private hospital for the next day.
The next day.
Shen Shuangmiao went to the hospital alone, feeling uneasy.
Soon, the doctor, holding the test results, smiled and nodded at her.
"Congratulations, Miss Shen, you are pregnant."
Shen Shuangmiao felt her mind go completely blank.
She is indeed pregnant again.
It was at the hospital that time, to understand the effects of the medication on him...
Shen Shuangmiao suddenly felt very regretful and couldn't accept it.
She completely forgot to take precautions at that time...
Shen Shuangmiao subconsciously touched her still flat stomach.
Another tiny life has been conceived here, her and Zhu Jin's child.
Shen Shuangmiao held the light lab report, but it felt very heavy.
This child came at the worst possible time.
Shen Shuangmiao's fingertips trembled as she walked out of the hospital in a daze. The sunlight was dazzling, but she felt cold all over and her legs were weak, making it difficult for her to stand.
She instinctively protected her lower abdomen.
Who can I tell about this?
Zhu Jin? No, absolutely not! He's now only seeking death; the appearance of this child is either a burden or something else for him.
She didn't dare to gamble.
Shen Shuangmiao suddenly realized that she couldn't even find someone to confide in.
Zhao Mobai has broken off relations with Fu Xuan and is in prison.
Finally, as if by some strange twist of fate, she arrived at Madam Su's residence.
Shen Shuangmiao looked at the old lady with trembling eyes: "Grandma, if I hadn't been so desperate for advice, I wouldn't have bothered you like this."
The old lady smiled dismissively: "What are you saying? I'm your grandmother, of course you don't bother me. You should tell me what's wrong. So, what happened?"
Shen Shuangmiao couldn't say anything, but silently handed over a lab report.
After reviewing the test results, Madam Su paused for a moment, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.
She took Shen Shuangmiao's cold hand and patted it gently.
“Child, this is fate, it’s the will of God.” Old Madam Su smiled. “Tell Zhu Jin that this may be the only hope to keep him here.”
"Tell him?"
Shen Shuangmiao suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with resistance. "No... Grandma, we can't tell him! He doesn't even want to live anymore, how could he want this child? It will only make him more miserable and feel like a burden."
Madam Su raised an eyebrow: "How will you know if he reacts this way if you don't try?"
