Chapter 214 It turns out, he wasn't the child's father.
rogue!
Sheng Weiwei's face flushed red instantly, and she threw a pillow at him.
"Bai Yu, get out of here right now and stop acting like a hooligan."
Bai Yu gave her a deep look, turned around, opened the door, and disappeared like a gust of wind.
Sheng Weiwei suddenly felt that something was wrong. Why did she let the person get away?
Damn it, I feel even less sleepy now.
...
The next day.
Bai Yu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of his top-floor office, a cigarette between his fingers, smoke swirling in front of him.
Outside the window, the bustling cityscape of Haicheng unfolds before your eyes, a vibrant tapestry of traffic.
good.
This is Shengchuang Investment, a company under his name, an absolute hegemon in the financial world, and famous worldwide.
Come to think of it, this was the empire he and Sheng Tingxiao built together back then.
Later, after receiving a mission from above, they went to Maduri together.
He has always been a hands-off manager; the company has a professional team of managers to run it, and he basically doesn't get involved.
For the past two years, Sheng Tingxiao has shouldered everything in Maduri.
He returned to take care of the Sheng family on behalf of his brother, and also kept an eye on the company.
Sheng Tingxiao, meanwhile, was wearing his mask in Maduri, using the identity of "Warlord".
Bai Yu's thoughts drifted back to two years ago.
That was the first time he met Sheng Weiwei.
It was also the first time I had ever witnessed how explosive that woman's temper could be.
That night, Gu Shaoheng, that grandson, was embracing a female internet celebrity, whispering sweet nothings in a bar booth.
Sheng Weiwei has arrived.
She stared intently at the two men, said nothing, and sat down at the bar alone.
He drank one cup after another until his eyes were red and swollen.
Later, she saw him. She staggered over and, without saying a word, tiptoed and kissed him directly.
Then, she grabbed his tie and pulled him in front of Gu Shaoheng.
"See that?"
"He's taller and more handsome than you, so he's definitely better in bed than you!"
"If I, Sheng Weiwei, marry Gu Shaoheng in this life, I will be a dog in the next!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she collapsed completely into his arms, completely drunk.
He escorted her back to the gate of the Sheng family home.
From that moment on, he fell for this woman.
Sheng Tingxiao's younger sister is really something else.
The second time I saw her was at the "Incredible" boxing gym, a name that was sure to bring some incredible things.
That day, he stepped on stage to box in place of a junior disciple, just for fun.
Unexpectedly, they saw Sheng Weiwei standing in VIP box number 1, wearing a red halter dress, looking stunningly beautiful.
She shouted at the top of her lungs, "Number 17! Go Number 17!"
His junior brother is indeed quite good-looking; I guess she's here to support the handsome guy.
That day, she gave him something for the first time.
It was a tissue folded into a heart shape with a bright red lip print on it.
He accepted it.
The following week, he went to substitute for another boxer.
To my surprise, she was still there.
After that, she came to support him every week without fail.
But she never throws money on stage like those rich girls.
She said it was an insult to the boxer.
Later, he simply took over the boxing gym and sent that handsome junior brother away.
Then, he became the rightful number 17.
During the day, he sits in the top-floor office of Shengchuang Investment, strategizing and planning.
Every Wednesday night, he goes to the boxing gym to box and "earn extra money".
Later, she tossed him a blue kitten towel so he could wipe his sweat.
He picked it up too.
Until that time, she went backstage to find him herself.
She stood before him, her eyes shining brightly, and her first words were...
"Five million, and you'll come with me to Maduri."
So he had no choice but to rush back to Maduri overnight and return to being the war lord who belonged on the battlefield.
Unexpectedly, the girl was kidnapped and sold on her very first day in Maduli, yet he rescued her from danger time and time again...
Later, he clearly felt her burning passion, so he couldn't resist taking her.
So, during his time in Maduri, he spoiled her rotten.
She didn't return to China until she became pregnant.
He finally applied to return to the capital, to restore Bai Yu's identity, and to re-enter her life.
With her, for a lifetime.
Bai Yu turned around and walked behind his desk.
He reached out and pulled open the middle drawer.
Inside, there was a drawer full of tissues folded into heart shapes.
Each one has a unique lip print on it.
It is extremely precious.
Irreplaceable.
...
The top floor of the Fu Group, the president's office.
Dean Huang personally delivered a report in a kraft paper bag to the Fu family.
Lin Qi accepted it respectfully and knocked on the door of the president's office.
"Enter."
The man's voice was deep, carrying a hint of barely perceptible fatigue.
Lynch pushed open the door and placed the file bag on the huge ebony desk.
"President Fu, Dean Huang delivered this personally."
Fu Beichen raised his head, shifting his gaze from the computer screen to the thin report.
His breath caught in his throat at just one glance.
He couldn't wait to tear open the seal and pull out a piece of paper inside.
The fingertips turned white from the force applied.
His gaze swept quickly across the page, finally settling fixedly on that line of conclusions.
[Excluding biological blood relations].
boom.
The world seemed to have been muted.
Fu Beichen's handsome face instantly turned charcoal-colored.
really.
The child in Gu Xingnian's belly is not his.
His face was pale, and he felt as if his heart had been ripped open by an invisible hand, leaving it bleeding profusely.
That light piece of paper now felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.
He clenched his fist tightly, crumpled the report into a ball, and slammed it onto the thick carpet.
He walked to the window, lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, but couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.
How could that be?
How could it not be his?
Could it be that she and Lu Lie are secretly pregnant?
Fu Beichen's mind was in complete chaos, with countless images flashing through his mind.
Suddenly, the scene from the family reunion banquet flashed before my eyes with uncanny clarity.
Lu Lie.
The red diamond he gave to Gu Xingnian was crafted into the shape of a safety lock.
He didn't know what Lu Lie said to her that day, but she cried...
Suddenly, I remembered something my mother had casually mentioned yesterday.
"I hope this safety lock will protect everyone, young and old."
May everyone be safe and sound.
Therefore, Lu Lie already knew she was pregnant.
She even knew about it earlier than her husband, who was actually married to her.
Why?
A huge question mark burned into his heart like a branding iron.
Why!
"Knock knock knock".
Lin Qi knocked on the door and came in, holding a cup of freshly brewed coffee.
As soon as he entered the office, he noticed the extremely low atmosphere.
President Fu's face was extremely grim.
Lin Qi's gaze involuntarily fell on the crumpled paper on the ground.
He walked over carefully, bent down, and picked it up.
Lin Qi's hand trembled after just one glance, and he almost dropped it.
We're doomed.
He felt like the whole world was collapsing.
It turns out that the child his wife was carrying was not Mr. Fu's.
How is that possible?
Absolutely impossible.
"President Fu..."
Lynch's voice was trembling.
"I think there's definitely something wrong with this report; something's definitely wrong somewhere."
"Otherwise, I'll accompany my wife to get another checkup, and we'll go to a different hospital."
"go out."
Fu Beichen's voice sounded like it was squeezed out from deep in his throat, hoarse and cold.
“Fu…”
"I told you to get out!"
He suddenly turned his head, his eyes bloodshot, like a cornered beast, letting out an angry roar.
Lin Qi shuddered in fright, forgetting all about his coffee, and quickly turned and slipped out.
The door was closed, and Lin Qi leaned against the wall, his heart still pounding wildly.
He kept muttering to himself.
impossible.
That's absolutely impossible.
The wife loves Mr. Fu so much, how could she possibly be carrying Mr. Fu's child?
Something must be wrong.
The office was deathly silent.
A long time passed, so long that the air seemed to freeze.
Fu Beichen slowly took out his phone, his fingertips lingered on the screen for a long time, and finally dialed a number.
The moment the call connected, he spoke, his voice cold and devoid of any warmth.
"Send me something."
He absolutely cannot let her give birth to another man's child.
Therefore, this child cannot be kept.
...
At night, car headlights pierced the darkness of the Imperial Garden.
Fu Beichen is back.
Gu Xingnian fluttered from the living room like a happy butterfly, but as soon as she got close, she sensed the low pressure emanating from him, a feeling that kept strangers at bay.
His handsome face was expressionless, but his eyes held an icy edge.
"What's wrong?" She stood on tiptoe, trying to see his face. "Who upset our CEO Fu?"
"I'm a little tired."
Fu Beichen's voice was low and hoarse as he bypassed her and went straight to the sofa.
Gu Xingnian obediently followed him and saw him leaning wearily on the sofa, pinching his brow.
She felt so sorry for him and said gently, "Let me massage you."
Only one warm-colored crystal chandelier was lit in the hall, creating a cozy atmosphere.
Her fingers were soft, and she gently placed them on his temples with just the right amount of pressure.
Fu Beichen's tense muscles seemed to relax a little.
But the next second, he suddenly grabbed her hand.
He was very strong, and his grip made her wrist ache.
He opened his eyes, and in those deep eyes was a cold indifference and scrutiny that she couldn't understand.
What did Lu Lie say to you on the day of the family reunion banquet?
She was stunned.
Why are you suddenly asking this?
“He didn’t say anything,” she answered honestly. “He just… wished me happiness.”
Upon hearing this, Fu Beichen's lips curled into a smile, but there was no hint of a smile, only sarcasm.
He let go of her hand, his eyes clearly showing disbelief.
He stood up and looked down at her.
"Let's eat."
The voice was chillingly cold.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
Gu Xingnian looked at the man opposite her with some unease, feeling that something was not right.
He was so short-tempered today, a stark contrast to the man who held her and whispered sweet nothings yesterday.
He hardly speaks, as if he has an iceberg hidden in his heart.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
The ringing of the bell sounded particularly jarring in the quiet restaurant.
He got up and walked to the French windows to answer the phone.
When he returned, the coldness in his gaze had intensified.
"You eat first, I have to go out for a bit."
After saying that, he picked up his suit jacket and left without looking back.
Gu Xingnian was left behind with a table full of food that was gradually getting cold.
She had completely lost her appetite and felt that something bad was about to happen.
...
When Fu Beichen returned, it was already late at night.
Gu Xingnian wasn't asleep at all; she woke up as soon as she heard the door lock turn.
A strong smell of alcohol hit me.
Fu Beichen walked straight into the bathroom without turning on the light, and soon the sound of water could be heard.
When he finished showering and got into bed, he only had the fresh scent of shower gel on him.
He lay down, but instead of pulling her into his arms and holding her tightly as usual, he did not.
He lay there flat, like an emotionless puppet.
Gu Xingnian was not asleep.
In the darkness, she crept closer and snuggled into his arms like a kitten.
He reached out and naturally embraced her.
But that embrace lacked the warmth and tenderness of the past; it was merely a formulaic gesture.
He didn't give her a single kiss all night.
The next day, when Gu Xingnian woke up, the person next to her was empty.
She had just finished washing up and stepped out of the bathroom when she saw Fu Beichen walk in.
He was dressed in a well-tailored set of home clothes, which made his figure appear even taller and more slender, but he was holding a bowl of dark medicinal food in his hands.
"The doctor prescribed a blood-nourishing soup." He walked up to her, his tone calm. "Drink it on an empty stomach, then go downstairs for breakfast."
Gu Xingnian did not take the bowl.
She reached out and hugged his strong waist, burying her face in his warm chest like a wronged little animal, gently nuzzling against him.
"Honey, why are you unhappy?"
Her voice was muffled and nasal.
"Tell me, okay? I'll help you share the burden."
Her gentleness and dependence were like a knife, making his heart ache even more.
He stiffened and coldly pulled her hand away.
"Drink the soup first."
Gu Xingnian felt wronged, but she still obediently picked up the bowl of medicine.
Just as I was about to drink it, an unusual smell entered my nose.
It's faint, yet very clear.
It's safflower and peach kernels!
Her hand froze, and her heart sank.
“I’m hungry,” she suddenly looked up and smiled at him. “I want to eat breakfast before I drink, otherwise… I might throw up.”
After saying that, she picked up the bowl of medicine, turned around, and went downstairs.
This is the scene that Fu Beichen saw when he went downstairs.
Gu Xingnian sat in the center of the living room sofa; her small body exuded an indescribable sense of oppression.
The butler stood respectfully to one side, while a young maid knelt before her, trembling like a leaf in the autumn wind.
She actually arrested the servant who was brewing the medicine and interrogated her.
She is now being very careful to ensure that the miscarriage does not happen again.
"Speak."
Gu Xingnian's voice wasn't loud, but it was cold.
"Who told you to put the drug in? Who's behind this?"
The maid was so frightened that her lips trembled, and she cried and kowtowed.
"Please forgive me, madam! I really didn't know! I... I just cooked it the usual way, I didn't add anything, I really didn't..."
"Release them." Fu Beichen's voice came from the stairwell, icy cold.
"Everyone out."
The butler, feeling as if he had been granted a pardon, quickly pulled the weeping maid away.
Suddenly, only the two of them were left in the living room.
Gu Xingnian stood up, turned around, and her clear eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
She used all her strength to make her voice sound less broken.
"Fu Beichen, did you have those medicinal herbs planted there?"
"Is it that you don't want this child?"
Fu Beichen did not answer.
He just looked at her in silence.
That silence is the cruelest form of acquiescence.
Gu Xingnian felt all the strength drain from her body in an instant, and she staggered.
Her voice shattered completely, filled with a desperate sob.
"Fu Beichen, why...why did you do this to him?"
"You promised me, you said you would wait at least twenty-two weeks... Why did you do this!"
Fu Beichen finally spoke, his voice as cold as ice, each word striking her heart.
"Because you're not carrying my child."
He laid his cards on the table.
“That’s Lu Lie’s child.”
With a loud bang.
Gu Xingnian's mind went blank.
