Chapter 3 She was hospitalized
Time seemed to pass incredibly slowly outside the operating room.
Sheng Weiwei paced back and forth anxiously, glancing at the closed operating room door every now and then.
Finally, the door opened.
Gu Xingnian was wheeled out by the nurse. She had already fallen asleep, but there were still traces of tears on her face, and even tiny teeth marks could be seen on her pale lips.
"Niannian!" Sheng Weiwei quickly went to greet her.
The doctor took off his mask, his expression somewhat grave: "The surgery went smoothly, but the patient is too weak. Remember, she needs to rest well in this condition, otherwise... it may be very difficult for her to get pregnant again."
Sheng Weiwei's heart sank suddenly. Looking at the unconscious Gu Xingnian, tears welled up in her eyes again.
What a wonderful girl, Niannian, how did she end up with a scumbag like Fu Beichen!
When Gu Xingnian woke up, it was already afternoon.
Sheng Weiwei's mother arrived, carrying a steaming bowl of meat porridge.
"Niannian is awake? Quick, have some porridge while it's hot to help her recover." Mother Sheng looked at her pale face with heartache.
"Thank you, godmother!" Gu Xingnian smiled weakly and struggled to sit up.
"Don't move, just lie down, I'll feed you." Mrs. Sheng quickly helped her up, scooped up a spoonful of porridge, carefully blew on it to cool it down, and fed it to her mouth.
She was heartbroken. Her daughter had finally gotten pregnant, and now the child was suddenly gone!
Gu Xingnian was homeless back then. Sheng Weiwei was bullied on her way home from school, and Gu Xingnian helped her. Weiwei took her home, and the Sheng family supported her in completing her studies.
Sheng's mother treated her like another daughter.
Gu Xingnian sipped the drink slowly, feeling a little warmer in her stomach, but her eyes reddened.
Sheng Weiwei was on the phone, her voice low but her tone unusually excited.
"Gu Shaoheng! Let me tell you, if you continue to associate with a bastard like Fu Beichen, we're breaking up immediately! The engagement is off, and we'll never see each other again in this lifetime!"
After saying that, she slammed down the phone, her chest heaving with anger.
Gu Xingnian looked at her, "Weiwei, don't do it because of me..."
"It's none of your business!" Sheng Weiwei interrupted her. "I can't stand Gu Shaoheng's cluelessness! Fu Beichen has ruined you like this, and he's still calling him brother. Is that reasonable? Whose side is he on anyway?"
The Sheng family and the Gu family were engaged through a family marriage, and the two were engaged when they were 18 years old.
However, Sheng Weiwei's princess syndrome never changed, which gave Gu Shaoheng a great headache.
At that time, inside the most upscale private club banquet room in Haicheng.
Soft, languid music played, and the air was filled with the scents of expensive wine and perfume.
Gu Shaoheng held his phone, looking completely bewildered.
He glanced innocently at Fu Beichen, "What's gotten into you again? Saying you'll break up with me if I keep hanging out with you?"
Fu Beichen held his wine glass, his slender fingers gently swirling the amber liquid. Upon hearing this, he merely raised an eyebrow, his expression remaining unchanged.
Huo Shenyuan, standing beside him, chuckled. "Oh, Second Young Master Gu, things's going badly at home? Looks like your wife harbors quite a grudge against Bei Chen. Here's your choice: choose one of the two."
Gu Shaoheng ruffled his hair in frustration. "Who knows what's wrong with her! Ignore her and drink."
Just then, the door to the private room was pushed open.
A woman wearing a sexy red halter dress walked in, her figure swaying gracefully; it was Jiang Kexin.
Jiang Kexin is the daughter of the Jiang family and a popular leading actress.
Yesterday's high-profile birthday celebration with Fu Beichen has boosted her fan base to 20 million, making her a star in the spotlight.
If she were to marry into the Fu family, she would become the most prestigious woman in Haishi.
The esteemed wife of a billionaire! Just thinking about it makes me happy!
She walked straight to Fu Beichen's side, ignoring the admiring or envious glances around her, and sat down next to him, naturally wrapping her arms around his and resting her head on his shoulder.
"Brother Beichen, can I be your date at the Fu family's anniversary celebration this weekend?"
She no longer wanted to hide behind him.
Three years is long enough!
Fu Beichen's eyes softened. "Tomorrow, I'll have someone order a dress for you."
Jiang Kexin smiled excitedly, "I knew it, you're the best."
Huo Shenyuan raised his wine glass, "Congratulations, Sister-in-law Kexin, you're about to be officially promoted."
Gu Shaoheng chimed in, "Looks like the three-year agreement is about to expire. Sister-in-law Kexin, your hard times are finally over."
It's not hard to see that Fu Beichen's two brothers are on Jiang Kexin's side, because they have never seen Fu Beichen bring Gu Xingnian out.
Moreover, their marriage was kept secret, and the outside world knew almost nothing about it.
Having it is equivalent to not having it!
Jiang Kexin generously picked up her wine glass and clinked glasses with them, saying, "Thank you, Young Master Gu and Young Master Huo."
The sons of three of the four major families in Shanghai have all stood by her side. Once Fu Beichen and Gu Xingnian's marriage ends, she can rightfully marry into the Fu family.
"Ding!" Huo Shenyuan saw a message pop up on his phone and was so excited that he almost jumped off the sofa!
"Holy crap! N God is coming back!"
He held up his phone, the bold headline on the screen particularly eye-catching—[Qingniao Technology Founder N God Confirmed to Attend Next Month's Global Medical Summit!]
Huo Shao's voice was filled with unbelievable joy, his eyes slightly red, "My grandma's life is saved! That's wonderful!"
The old lady of the Huo family has lung cancer and doesn't have much time left.
This news is undoubtedly a timely help.
The surrounding young men immediately erupted into even louder discussions.
"N God? Is that the N God who came up with a cancer treatment formula three years ago, was deified, and then vanished from the face of the earth?"
"My God! She finally showed up? I thought she had ascended to heaven!"
"Qingniao Technology! They're the YYDS of the medical world! Three years ago, that formula directly pulled countless terminally ill patients back from the brink of death!"
"That's right! It's her! Three years ago, she appeared out of nowhere, left behind that equation, and disappeared without a trace. This time, her return is absolutely explosive! Next month's Global Medical Summit is sure to be a huge hit."
Sitting not far away, Fu Beichen's deep eyes also instantly flashed with a burning light.
Although the Fu Group's medical industry is already among the best in China.
He pioneered a leading intelligent medical system in the country and became the richest man in Haicheng in just four years.
Under his leadership, the Fu family's business has expanded to more than 80 countries around the world, making him a true prodigy.
However... N God!
This name represents not only a legend in the medical field, but also a kind of leadership power.
To him, N God was more like a mysterious island, radiating a mysterious power that made him irresistibly drawn to it...
If N God can cooperate with Fu's, then Fu's status in the global medical field will be at its peak!
Fu Beichen's fingers tightened slightly as he held the wine glass, a determined smile curving his lips.
Gu Shaoheng added, "I heard that N God's 'gene therapy' uses biological and gene-editing technology to precisely target cancer cells! Awesome!"
Everyone chatted excitedly, imagining the revolutionary changes that N's return would bring, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.
N is one of the world's most outstanding biologists, and her value is immeasurable.
Just then, the door to the private room was gently pushed open.
A young waiter carefully walked in carrying a tray, ready to refill the guests' drinks.
When she saw the three wealthy young men in the private room, she was so nervous that she suddenly stumbled and fell forward!
The wine glasses on the tray crashed to the ground with a loud clatter!
"Bang—crash—"
The crisp sound of shattering glass pierced the noise.
Jiang Kexin, who was closest, didn't have time to react.
"ah!"
Jiang Kexin let out a short scream. Fu Beichen reacted extremely quickly, pulling the startled Jiang Kexin into his arms almost at the same moment the glass shattered.
It blocked the glass shards that were flying towards her face, but the glass fragments still cut two bloody marks on Jiang Kexin's fair hand.
He frowned, and when he saw the obvious wound on the back of her hand and the blood gushing out, his face instantly darkened.
Damn it!
Fu Beichen's sharp gaze swept over the waiter who was standing there, pale with fright, his tone icy and piercing.
"What are you standing there for? Get out of here!"
The waiter was so frightened that he trembled and scrambled out of the room.
"Brother Beichen...my hand hurts so much..."
Jiang Kexin leaned against Fu Beichen's chest, her voice trembling with tears welling up in her eyes.
"Don't be afraid, I'll take you to the hospital to treat your wound."
Fu Beichen softened his voice, carefully avoiding Jiang Kexin's injured hand, picked her up horizontally, and strode out of the private room.
Hospital.
The smell of disinfectant filled the air, and the corridor was so quiet that only the sound of footsteps could be heard.
After settling Jiang Kexin in, Fu Beichen had the doctor carefully treat and bandage her wound.
Seeing Jiang Kexin's pale face and pitiful appearance, Fu Beichen patiently comforted her for a few moments, telling her to rest well in the ward.
He walked out of the ward and had just reached the corner of the corridor when his peripheral vision inadvertently swept over a ward next door with its door half open.
A familiar figure came into view.
Fu Beichen suddenly stopped in his tracks.
His gaze was fixed on the hospital bed, the pale sheets, the pale face.
The woman lay there quietly, her eyes closed, her long eyelashes casting a faint shadow beneath her eyelids. An IV tube was inserted into her slender arm, and clear liquid was slowly dripping into her body.
Gu Xingnian!
What is she doing here? And lying in a hospital bed?!
An indescribable surge of complex emotions instantly gripped Fu Beichen's heart, as if it were being squeezed tightly by an invisible hand.
Fu Beichen pushed open the door and walked straight in!
