Chapter 209: Persuasion, Ah Xin's Plan
Liu Qianhua shook her head helplessly. Gu Mingxia was really good at deceiving herself. She was already pregnant. Even if she didn't want it, what could she do now? It was a living little life. Was she supposed to abort it?
After glancing at Gu Mingxia, Liu Qianhua quietly left the ward. She told the bodyguards from the Fu family outside the ward what she needed to do, and then took the elevator downstairs to buy breakfast for Gu Mingxia.
On the way, I kept thinking that Gu Mingxia's idea was indeed good. At least it could solve the problem of Fu Heng's disagreement and also fulfill my grandfather's wish. It was a win-win situation. The problem now is whether Fu Feng will agree to accompany me back to Foshan.
After leaving the hospital, Liu Qianhua went to a restaurant near the entrance that specializes in postpartum meals. She ordered a bowl of red date and millet porridge and two boiled corns. While waiting, she began to ponder the likelihood of Fu Feng accompanying her back to Foshan. After thinking it over and over, Liu Qianhua couldn't come up with a solution. In the end, she concluded that it was probably more likely than having Fu Heng accompany her back!
Carrying breakfast, Liu Qianhua quickly returned to the ward. Upon entering, she saw Gu Mingxia hunched over the bathroom sink, dry heaving. She immediately put down the breakfast, grabbed a glass of water in one hand and a tissue in the other, and went to Gu Mingxia's side.
Are you alright?
Setting down her water glass, Liu Qianhua gently patted Gu Mingxia's back, asking her anxiously. She had never been pregnant before, and seeing Gu Mingxia's current situation, she was truly at a loss.
"Chika, is pregnancy always this hard?"
Gu Mingxia picked up her water glass, rinsed her mouth, and walked out while wiping her mouth with a tissue. Liu Qianhua rinsed the sink with water, also looking helpless.
"This... I don't know either. I've never even been in a relationship, let alone know anything about pregnancy!"
"If this continues to be this painful, I... I think it's better not to have children!"
Gu Mingxia leaned weakly against the sofa, her small face pale and exhausted. Liu Qianhua frowned slightly when she saw her like this, and immediately sat down next to her with breakfast.
"I bought red date and millet porridge and boiled corn from a postpartum care restaurant. The staff said that eating these in early pregnancy would not only provide nutrition but also prevent pregnant women from feeling stomach discomfort."
"Thank you for your help, but I really don't have much of an appetite."
Vomiting like this so early in the morning, Gu Mingxia could already foresee how miserable her pregnancy would be. Was she going to keep vomiting until the baby was born? Just thinking about it terrified Gu Mingxia.
"Even if you don't have an appetite, think about the baby in your belly and eat a little bit. These are all very light foods, so you won't vomit."
Liu Qianhua suddenly felt that Gu Mingxia in front of her was like a child, needing to be coaxed even to eat. Gu Mingxia frowned, looking at the brightly colored red date and millet porridge and the white and purple boiled corn on the coffee table, staring at Liu Qianhua in disbelief.
Are you sure I won't throw up after eating all this?
"Yes, I'm sure. Let's eat quickly before it gets cold."
Liu Qianhua didn't actually know whether Gu Mingxia would vomit after eating, but in order to get Gu Mingxia to eat something, she still nodded confidently.
Seeing that she nodded, Gu Mingxia picked up a boiled corn and started eating it. Surprisingly, she didn't feel like throwing up even after she finished the corn. A faint smile unconsciously appeared on Gu Mingxia's face.
"Drink the porridge first, then eat the corn."
While she was in a good mood, Liu Qianhua placed the red date and millet porridge in front of Gu Mingxia. Gu Mingxia took small bites with a spoon and soon finished the bowl of porridge. She leaned back and let out a satisfied sigh.
"I feel much better after eating, Chika, thank you."
"Why thank me? I only heard it from the people at that restaurant. It really has nothing to do with me."
After saying that, she smiled slightly. Looking at Liu Qianhua's smile, Gu Mingxia had to admit that the girl's smile was very clean and made people feel exceptionally comfortable.
"Okay, I'll lie down for a while. You should go and rest too. We'll be discharged this evening."
"Alright then, remember to call me if anything comes up."
Gu Mingxia nodded. Only after Liu Qianhua went to the living room outside did she pick up her phone, find Xiao Yan's number, and keep tapping on it, but she kept pressing the call button. In the end, he still cared a lot!
If he is bothered by his past with Fu Heng, then could it also be said that Xiao Yan is also bothered by her marriage with Bai Zixuan?
Every time Gu Mingxia thought about how Xiao Yan considered her a promiscuous woman, her heart ached.
It was an indescribable pain. Being doubted by the person she trusted and loved most, Gu Mingxia felt that all she could do was smile bitterly.
Because it was indeed she who married Bai Zixuan less than a year after Xiao Yan disappeared, and she was the one who betrayed their love.
But who told Bai Zixuan to save her? Despite her seemingly strong and domineering aura, Queen Gu is actually very gentle at heart.
A man lost his right to be a father because of her, and she felt she no longer had the courage to say no.
But Xiao Yan clearly knows all this, so how could he doubt her loyalty to him now? Does that mean there is absolutely no trust between them?
Closing her eyes, Gu Mingxia tossed her phone onto the coffee table. Forget it, he'd already chosen to run away, so why should she tell him about the pregnancy? Besides, she didn't even know if she wanted the child!
In a secluded apartment on the outskirts of the city, Cai Feng held Ah Xin with a satisfied expression, occasionally pinching her arm with his large hand.
"Sir, you haven't made a move since we went to the Gu family mansion. What should we do next?"
Ah Xin's voice was charming, and as she spoke, she kissed Cai Feng's cheek with her red lips. Cai Feng thoroughly enjoyed the beauty's initiative. He sat up with a smile and beckoned to Ah Xin, who was still lying on the bed. The beauty immediately sat up considerately and leaned into his arms. With such a soft beauty in his arms, Cai Feng felt exceptionally comfortable.
If it weren't for Nan Lan, Cai Feng would have thought that running away with A Xin would have been a good choice. However, he was unwilling to accept this and would definitely make Gu Huaikun suffer the consequences he deserved. Otherwise, Cai Feng would never be happy for the rest of his life!
"Has Old Man Gu shown any unusual behavior at the Gu family recently?"
Cai Feng's ability to operate as an underground emperor in South Africa for decades is undoubtedly due to his cunning and shrewdness. His trip to the Gu family mansion was merely a way for Ah Xin to test the reactions of the old men in the Gu family, to see if they were truly loyal to the Gu family or to money. In other words, he wanted to see what the price was for those old men's betrayal.
"He's still the same old him, just drifting through life like a corpse!"
When Ah Xin mentioned Gu Huaikun, there was not a trace of kinship in her words. For her, the day Bai Hua died, she had no connection with the Gu family anymore!
Looking back at the family home is just one of her tasks now!
"Have any of those people from the Gu family's old residence been to the villa? Or have they sent him any messages?"
"No! During this time, the old man has been staying in the Orchid Garden where Nanlan used to live. I have rarely seen him. I have asked Lin Fu a few times, and he said that the old man has not been feeling well lately. Judging from his tone, it seems to be quite serious!"
Ah Xin's words showed no fatherly affection whatsoever, and even carried a hint of schadenfreude. Cai Feng was even happier after hearing the news that Gu Huaikun was unwell.
If it weren't for Gu Huaikun's wealth, how could Nan Lan have married him? Without Gu Huaikun's appearance, she would definitely be the son-in-law of the Nan family now, living a life of luxury. Why would she have to hide from the Fu family's pursuit every day like this?
"Ah Xin, do you think you'll hate me for scheming to take your father's fortune? What if you start to back out later in the plan?"
Cai Feng, seemingly indifferent, said this while holding Ah Xin in his arms. Ah Xin's body stiffened, but she quickly left his embrace in a huff, got out of bed, and went to get dressed.
"I didn't expect that even now, you still don't believe me! Since you doubt me like this, then there's no need for me to stay by your side any longer!"
Ah Xin's voice was choked with sobs, as if she had suffered a great injustice. Even when she was getting dressed, she was a bit flustered and couldn't get a long dress right after trying on it several times.
"Alright, be good, I was just asking casually! You know, this concerns our lives and fortunes, how could I not be careful?"
Cai Feng got out of bed and hugged A Xin in his arms, gently comforting her in a soft voice. However, A Xin still turned her body away awkwardly, refusing to look at him or answer his questions, and just sobbed softly.
"My dear, do you think I don't know how I feel about you? If I didn't trust you, why would I have come back to Xiangcheng with you? You know I was being hunted down by the Fu family, and Xiangcheng is their territory. Wouldn't it have been suicide for me to come back? But for you, I came back without saying a word, didn't I? Okay, okay, I was wrong, alright? Don't cry, your crying hurts my liver!"
"Shameless old man! You're so old, yet you still say such mushy things!"
Ah Xin turned around, playfully slapped Cai Feng, and then leaned on his shoulder, sobbing softly.
"If you don't believe me, then don't tell me anything in the future. There's no need to humiliate me like this! You know, my mother died because of Gu Huaikun!"
"Okay, okay, stop crying, alright? Come on, look at this bracelet I bought you, isn't it pretty!"
Cai Feng took the jewelry box from the table and put a Earl diamond bracelet on her wrist, and Ah Xin finally stopped crying and started smiling.
"You know how to talk! It's getting late, I should go back, otherwise the old man will get suspicious!"
"Okay, then be careful, and call me if anything happens."
Ah Xin nodded, got dressed, kissed Cai Feng on the cheek, and left the apartment. Outside, backlit by the light, Ah Xin looked back at the tall buildings, squinting to obscure her expression. Only a mocking, chilling smile appeared on her lips.
"I hope our plan succeeds, and I hope you really can destroy the Gu family!"
There was no emotion in her murmured words, only a mocking expression on her face as she spoke. After she finished speaking, she swayed away with her slender waist.
At the same time, Cai Feng, who was standing by the bed, picked up his phone, dialed a number, and his voice immediately turned cold.
"Let's take action! I don't want to see Fu Heng again!"
