It was as if I was looking at a woman who was unfaithful to her husband.

Zhu Jin clenched his teeth, his hands trembling slightly, and his heart, which had already sunk to the bottom of the valley, sank again endlessly, as if there was no end.

In this era where people are becoming more open and informal, and the barriers between men and women are no longer in place, Zhu Jin has gone from being uncomfortable to being comfortable. She believes that she is open and aboveboard in her interactions with others, whether it is with colleagues in the hospital, Director Cang Shu, Ye Banxia and others, or Shi Shangbai, she believes that she has never crossed the line.

However, since Yu Liren looked at her that way, her behavior was definitely inappropriate.

Zhu Jin's mind quickly flashed back to the days he had spent with the Shi family and Shi Shangbai. The more he thought about it, the paler he became. From the time he first met her until now, he had never noticed or paid any attention to Shi Shangbai's eyes, but now that he thought about it, it became clearer and clearer...

Zhu Jin thought of the first time Chonglou and Shi Shangbai met, and what Chonglou said at that time, and of the care Shi Shangbai had given her during this period, time and time again, protecting her in matters big or small, just like today.

Zhu Jin closed his eyes tightly, and the look in Shi Shangbai's eyes when he asked for a birthday present flashed through his mind. He thought of the conversation he accidentally heard a long time ago, when Shi Shangbai said he had someone he liked. They were neighbors, and they often met. In addition, there was Shi Wei, a big mouth, but there was no woman who had ever been close to their Shi family...

“…I have lived so many years in vain…” Zhu Jin thought of his previous doubts, but put them aside because of Shi Shangbai’s frankness, with a bitter smile on his face.

Today, when her clothes were torn, no one cared, but Shi Shangbai's face changed... In the past, they had never been alone together, just because he knew that she cared and knew what Chonglou meant to her.

Ishigami Kashiwa had already seen through her...

If she knew what Shi Shangbai was thinking, she would definitely keep her distance. And after their two families met more and more frequently, Shi Shangbai would not say anything...

Because Ishigami Bai knew that if he told her, she would blame herself and feel embarrassed, and she never let herself be embarrassed. Just like just now, because of Yu Liren's look, Ishigami Bai immediately changed his original plan and left her alone.

If it weren't for Yu Liren's eyes, Zhu Jin might not have thought of so much, but once he thought about it, everything became clear.

Zhu Jin curled the corners of his mouth, looked at the police station, got off the car, looked up, looked at the endless sky, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if it's not kind, even if it's like trying to cover up something, for the sake of everyone, after this, I have to gradually reduce my interactions with Ishigami Kashiwa and the Ishi family...

At the same time, in the Shi family's bathroom, Shi Shangbai closed his eyes and let the water wash over him. He began to think about everything over and over again in his mind, calmly looking for a breakthrough point. When he heard Shi Wei's voice outside, Shi Shangbai walked out of the bathroom with a bath towel on his head and frowned.

I didn't notice it before, but when I came to my senses, I found that the back of my head hurt a little, and there were faint bloodstains on the towel that I used to wipe my hair and neck. I didn't notice the bleeding when I mixed the drink before, but taking a shower made the wound bleed again.

Ignoring Shi Wei's anxious inquiries, Shi Shangbai took the family medicine box and said, "Shi Wei, help me disinfect and apply medicine, and find the opening yourself."

"Dad, where is Aunt Zhu Jin?" Zhu Jin's situation was discussed not only in the class but also in the whole school. Shi Wei kept watching the news and became more and more anxious. "How can we help Aunt Zhu Jin?"

Shi Wei took the disinfectant handed over by Shi Shangbai and searched for the wound on Shi Shangbai's head. "A large piece of skin is broken, and the surrounding area is red and swollen. How about Dad go to the hospital?"

"No, just disinfect it." Ishigami Bai shook his head, and then said, "Don't tell your aunt Zhu Jin about this minor injury."

When Shi Wei asked again, Shi Shangbai asked Shi Wei to turn on the TV at home and watch the news from the beginning.

As soon as Zhu Jin walked into the police station, her brows immediately frowned because she saw Shang Lu walking around with an anxious look on his face.

As soon as Shang Lu saw Zhu Jin, he rushed over, "Zhu Jin..."

"If you want me to treat Helian Zhen, you can leave." Zhu Jin didn't wait for him to speak.

"Zhu Jin, your last name is Zhu, and you are the doctor of the Zhu family." Shang Lu stared at Zhu Jin closely, "No matter how much you hate me and how angry you are with Zhenzhen, the child is innocent. He is my offspring and bloodline. I am willing to pay any price to have him born. Zhu Jin, I beg you, please save him. Only you can save him in this world."

Finally, Shang Lu used the etiquette from his previous life and bowed deeply with full sincerity.

Zhu Jin avoided his greeting and said, "You should tell Helian Zhen how much you want this child and ask her to help you. It's useless to tell me."

“…What does this mean?” Shang Lu hesitated, stood up and looked up.

"Go back and ask her yourself." Zhu Jin frowned, then walked inside, with two policemen following behind him.

Shang Lu also frowned, his expression changed for a moment, and he kept thinking of Helian Zhen's previous attitude. Finally, he gritted his teeth and wanted to continue pursuing Zhu Jin, but his cell phone rang.

Shang Lu hurriedly answered the call. The scene was chaotic and Su Mu's face was full of anxiety. "Alu, Zhenzhen is in trouble. Her stomach is starting to hurt again. You need to come back soon. Doctor Chong said she can only hold on for twenty minutes at most. We must detoxify her after twenty minutes." If the hospital's detoxification method was used, it would mean that the child could not be saved.

"Okay, I got it..." Shang Lu's face changed, and he agreed to hang up the phone. However, Helian Zhen, who was frowning and groaning softly on the bed, suddenly shouted, "Alu, please ask my sister to save our child. Please ask her to save the child no matter what..."

"I will, I will..." Shang Lu threw away all his previous thoughts and strode towards the direction where Zhu Jin entered.

Zhu Jin had just sat down in the interrogation room, and before the door was closed, Shang Lu rushed in.

"Zhu Jin, it's really no use. We only have twenty... no, only ten minutes left. I really beg you to save my child." Shang Lu was easily restrained by the police. He struggled and yelled, "Zhu Jin, I beg you, I kneel down and beg you, please, save my child..."

Shang Lu's knees were already bent. If the police hadn't been holding him up, he would have knelt down long ago.

Zhu Jin really couldn't describe the feeling in his heart at that moment. It was impossible for him to change his mind, so he simply turned his head away and didn't look at him.

"Zhu Jin, your last name is Zhu, you are the doctor of the Zhu family, you can't just stand by and watch someone die..." Shang Lu saw her turn her head and gritted his teeth, "Zhu Jin, for the sake of our past relationship, please, I beg you, if I had any other way I wouldn't come to you."

Shang Lu's last sentence successfully stopped the police from dragging him out of the interrogation room, and they barely stopped at the door.

Shang Lu looked at Zhu Jin with hope, but Zhu Jin couldn't help but let out a mocking smile because of his last words. The past friendship...

"I won't change my mind. As for Helian Zhen and you, I will never help you in my life. If you still want to say goodbye to your child, you'd better go back quickly." Zhu Jin spoke each word clearly.

"Zhu Jin!" Shang Lu screamed in despair, one after another, and was finally carried away by the police.

In the interrogation room, Zhu Jin stood still like a mountain.

Shang Lu rushed back to the hospital in a panic, and Helian Zhen had already fallen into a coma. Su Mu watched with tears on his face as the antidote was slowly pushed into Helian Zhen's body. He watched in dismay as Helian Zhen was pushed into the operating room.

By the time Helian Zhen comes out of the operating room, it means the child is gone.

Shang Lu panted heavily and knelt weakly at the door of the operating room, uttering a low, suppressed cry.

Su Mu stood beside him and patted his shoulders gently. His originally straight back was now slightly hunched.

Helian Lan stood not far away, looking at the operating room, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Helian Zhen was pushed out of the operating room and did not wake up until two hours later, when night fell. His originally pale face gradually turned yellow, and his pale lips turned dark blue. He sank deeply into the white bed, looking so fragile that he could not even bear a single blow.

Shang Lu had been holding her hand and guarding the bed. When Helian Zhen woke up, the first thing she saw was Shang Lu and Su Mu, the two men who loved her the most. They seemed to have aged a few years at the same time, with vicissitudes of life on their faces. But when they saw her, they forced a smile and said, "You're awake. It's a good time to have some porridge..."

Helian Zhen's eyes were dull for a moment, then slowly brightened up. He slowly placed his hand on his belly, "Is the baby... gone?"

Su Mu didn't say anything. Shang Lu raised his hand to smooth her hair and said in a hoarse voice, "No more, but there will always be more in the future..."

Helian Zhen was stunned for a moment, and pulled the corners of her mouth, as if relieved, as if mocking. Finally, she closed her eyes, tears rolled down, her lips trembled, but in the end, she didn't make a sound, silently commemorating her first child.

Shang Lu's hands patiently wiped away Helian Zhen's tears that seemed to never stop flowing, and he quietly looked at her dry and rough face.

Helian Zhen was only 21 years old, but Shang Lu found fine lines at the corners of her eyes...

Zhu Jin cooperated with the investigation, and by the time everything was figured out, it was already late.

I had no appetite when I got home, so I just ate something casually. I glanced at the Shi family through the window and was about to go to the study when the doorbell rang.

"It's Mr. Shang Lu." Both the aunt and the guard knew Shang Lu.

"Don't worry about him."

He was told not to worry and set the access control to Do Not Disturb, but Shang Lu was still standing outside. He didn't say anything and didn't make any excessive movements, but he didn't leave.

More than an hour later, when Zhu Jin came out of the study to rest, his aunt told him about it. Zhu Jin was silent for a moment, called his aunt, and finally went to open the door himself to prevent him from entering the room.

She wanted to see what he meant.

"I thought you would stay in hiding and not come out." Shang Lu gave a sarcastic smile as he looked at Zhu Jin who opened the door.

"I didn't hide. Why should I hide? I just didn't want the security to make a big fuss..." Zhu Jin's words were interrupted by a sudden slap.

Shang Lu suddenly raised his hand and slapped the defenseless Zhu Jin.

With a "pop" sound, a crisp sound echoed in the darkness, so loud that it was incomparable.

"Zhu Jin, I hate you, I hate you! You vicious woman, you watched me die without saving me, you watched me die without saving me!" A hoarse roar erupted along with the slap, "My child, my child..."

Because of Zhu Jin's order, the guard sister who was just looking around helplessly ran out as soon as she heard something was wrong and was about to subdue Shang Lu. However, Zhu Jin stopped her and said, "You go back to the house." The guard sister looked at Shang Lu with an uncertain expression, and they looked at each other and went back to the house, looking back every few steps.

Zhu Jin's face, which had been hit to the side, slowly turned back and looked straight at Shang Lu, who was trembling all over, in front of him.

Shang Lu gritted his teeth, clenched the hand that had hit her in the face into a fist and placed it at his side. When Zhu Jin looked at him, his eyes, which had been fixed on Zhu Jin, suddenly moved away.

"In this life, you have learned very bad things. You learned to beat women." Zhu Jin sneered and raised his hand.

There was a louder and heavier "slap" sound than before, followed by another "slap". Zhu Jin waved his hand and slapped him again. Shang Lu looked up in disbelief, his ears buzzing. He saw Zhu Jin coldly spit out a few words, "How dare you hit me!"
