Huo Chenyu had already prepared for the worst.
The doctor took off his mask, frowned, and asked:
Did you drive here?
Well?
Why are you asking this?
Huo Chenyu was extremely anxious: "Doctor, how is my wife?"
"And the baby, how is the baby in Madam's belly?" Jiang Mian added.
The doctor stared at the two of them for a moment, then nodded and said:
“If there are two people, it will be easier. The patient is fine, just has a stomachache from being hungry for too long. She said she wants to eat the Sanhe Soup from the Three Bowls Shop on Tingxue Road, and the famous Golden Thread Beef Pancake from the Airport Road. If the family has enough time, they should try to satisfy her.”
The last sentence, coming from the doctor, was quite frightening.
It's like they'll never get to eat if they're not satisfied.
Huo Chenyu knew that pregnant women had discerning tastes, so he peeked into the operating room and asked:
"How is my wife now? When will she be able to come out?"
The doctor checked the time:
"Observe her for a while first, then transfer her to a regular ward. You should be able to see her by the time you buy the things."
Huo Chenyu nodded:
"We're changing to a VIP ward because my wife has severe mysophobia and I'm afraid she won't be used to staying in a regular ward."
The doctor glanced at the nurse beside him:
"You go and make the arrangements."
After leaving the hospital, Jiang Mian took a taxi to Airport Road to buy beef patties, while Huo Chenyu drove to Tingxue Road to buy Sanhe soup.
The two places are located exactly on opposite sides of the city's farthest diagonal.
As Jiang Mian stepped out of the elevator, she asked, puzzled:
"Boss, why did you suddenly decide to investigate Madam's chief physician?"
Huo Chenyu did not tell Jiang Mian the truth, only saying that he needed to investigate this chief physician, since Tang Li's pregnancy test report was written by him, which showed that he was someone the madam trusted.
Subsequent prenatal checkups may require further assistance from others.
Jiang Mian really believed it.
At the hospital entrance, Lu Zhixing sent a message to Tang Li:
"We've arrived. The car is parked at the emergency room entrance."
Tang Li, dressed in a nurse's uniform, hurried downstairs, got into the car, patted Lu Zhixing on the shoulder, and said:
"Go to the underground parking garage."
After the car came to a complete stop, Tang Li noticed that Chu Nai had a wound on her hand, which had already been bandaged. She frowned and asked Lu Zhixing:
"You did this?"
"It wasn't him, it was myself." Chu Nai pulled down her sleeve to cover herself slightly.
Lu Zhixing explained:
"When I arrived, she had just smashed a vase, trying to use a self-inflicted injury to escape, but Chu Shijie had anticipated this and specially hired a private doctor to stay at the villa and bandage her up immediately."
After all, the Chu family already has a daughter who has been abused.
Chu Shijie would not allow Chu Nai to act recklessly, lest he inadvertently drag the Chu family into an abyss and into dire straits.
Tang Li looked at Lu Zhixing, clutching her stomach, and said:
"Mr. Lu, could you buy me two steamed buns to tide me over? I haven't eaten all day and I'm so hungry I have low blood sugar."
A smart person would immediately know that Tang Li was trying to get rid of him.
However, Lu Zhixing was still worried about Chu Nai, so Tang Li smiled and said:
"I believe Miss Chu is not a desperate person. Someone who has been running in the rain for a long time would not dismantle the roadside pavilion where she takes shelter from the rain."
After Lu Zhi left, Chu Nai smiled bitterly:
"I won't thank you."
"I know," Tang Li replied with a smile.
"It's a pity that as your rival in love, I didn't win your respect and blessing. It's also a shame that I remarried Huo Chenyu, leaving you no chance to even confess your feelings to him."
Perhaps Chu Ting only noticed the one-of-a-kind coat designed by Lan Ge, but Tang Li saw many of Huo Chenyu's personal items in that photo.
It's clear that Chu Nai also put thought into Huo Chenyu.
"I have no regrets. After all, in my heart, there is no woman in this world who is worthy of him. I also feel no pity. I just think you are not worthy of him!"
Chu Nai added, "Of course, I'm not worthy either, and Lin Yiyun is even less worthy!"
It sounds like she probably hopes Huo Chenyu will live a lonely life.
But she almost made Lin Yiyun the wife of Huo.
Since she was so honest, Tang Li got straight to the point:
"What benefits did Lin Yiyun promise you? I can give you double, or even triple or quadruple."
Chu Nai laughed heartily and said bluntly:
"You really can't give me that."
“I know my place. Helping me would mean you have to break with the Huo family. I’ve done a lot of bad things, but I never force anyone to do anything. However, I can assess the situation and negotiate a deal with you to maximize our mutual benefits, depending on what you want from me.”
On the way there, Chu Nai knew that Lu Zhixing would appear at the suburban villa because Tang Li had attended his grandfather's 80th birthday party and had overheard Chu Ting's words.
So she had already calculated the odds in her mind.
After a moment's thought, Tang Li smiled and said:
"I only want evidence of Lin Yiyun's wrongdoings. Name your price."
Chu Nai raised an eyebrow, seemingly deep in thought.
"Of course, once Miss Chu chooses to cooperate with me, all the past grievances between us will be wiped clean, including what you did to President Lu."
Seeing that Chu Nai's expression began to relax, Tang Li continued, "As you've probably heard, when I married Huo Chenyu, I brought a dowry of one billion yuan. Miss Chu, you don't need to worry about assets at all."
Anyway, as long as she doesn't say anything, no one will know that she only has that one billion.
It was obvious that Chu Nai was interested.
