89 Premature Birth
◎Decision◎
For the first time in her life, Liang Youwei spoke, or rather, quarreled, in such a loud voice.
Liang Jingyi's eyes were full of shock and confusion, as if he didn't expect the person opposite him to be so "clear-headed", and he also didn't expect that she would say such sharp words to him.
It turns out she's more than just a beautiful doll. She's not completely ignorant of human nature; she just didn't express it in the past.
"Between us, who is cleaner? Who is purer? Liang Jingyi, I never deny that I owe you, but everything that happened in the past was not my intention, and the suffering you endured has nothing to do with me! I have tried my best to make it up to you, at least until now, I don't owe you anything—"
The bitterness surged from her heart to her nose, and every syllable of Liang Youwei's voice trembled.
"You look down on me, and you hate my pampered, willful, ignorant, and foolish nature. Fine, I'll tell you, I look down on you too. I've had enough of your arrogance and bravado! You're right. You're beautiful, smart, and of noble birth. You have countless options, and I've never been the only one."
Liang Youwei sneered as if she had given up on herself. It was the first time she had used such a harsh tone to mock someone.
"Liang Jingyi, I'm the same as you. I can live well without you. You're not important to me at all. I will never again foolishly wait for your so-called love and respect."
Her throat tightened, Liang Youwei uttered the last words, turned around and left, even though her calves were shaking badly.
"……Wait a moment."
The voice behind him was also trembling, hiding fear.
"Liang Youwei, wait a moment."
Liang Youwei turned a deaf ear to him. Her lips turned pale, her nails almost dug into her flesh, and she took unsteady steps.
"You're bleeding." Liang Jingyi could no longer hold back. "I'll take you to the hospital."

"Qin Zhen, calm down! No one wants this to happen!"
Outside the delivery room of a private hospital, Liang Ting'an stepped forward, grabbed Qin Zhen, and frowned, saying, "Jingyi couldn't have deliberately harmed Weiwei!"
The girl whose collar was pulled looked listless, not even bothering to raise her eyebrows. She lowered her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.
Qin Zhen's eyes were filled with rage, unconcealed. "Liang Jingyi, I don't care about your past or future, but Liang Youwei's situation is different now. She's pregnant, and she's only eight months old. Why do you have to quarrel with her at this time? Do you have any heart? No matter how much you hate this child, you shouldn't deliberately anger Liang Youwei, right?"
After hearing the last part, Liang Jingyi raised his eyes and asked, "Do I have a good heart? Did I deliberately anger Liang Youwei? Qin Zhen, can you please be reasonable?"
"Did I insist on this fight? Am I sick? Liang Youwei came to Yixing without saying hello. I was talking to my employees at the time. She misunderstood. What can I do? I don't like this child, but I never thought of doing anything deliberately! The baby and the mother are connected. How could I possibly harm it?!"
"Alright! This is a hospital, not a market. You two should be quiet." Liang Zhihui frowned and interrupted their argument. "Whatever the matter is, wait until Weiwei comes out."
Zhao Lingyu remained silent, sitting quietly on the long sofa beside her. Her palms pressed tightly against the soft armrests, and beads of sweat formed on her face. The so-called comfortable temperature had almost vanished.
Eight months, eight months should be considered premature, right?
Her brain, which was usually filled with data, was no longer calm. All kinds of "little-known facts" about pregnant women emerged continuously, such as "seven-year survival rate and eight-year survival rate" and various diseases of premature babies. Each one of them almost suffocated her.
The child died, but what about Liang Youwei? Could she survive? Would her body be healthy again? I didn't expect her to recover, but at least she wouldn't suffer from severe postpartum illness.
Zhao Lingyu's shoulders trembled as she thought about the question she had just asked and the answer she had received. A wave of fear and sorrow washed over her, and she covered her face uncontrollably, desperately trying to hold back the tears.
...Liang Youwei, don't let anything happen to you. You can't let anything happen to you.
The bright red lights flickered from time to time, like a raging fire burning the heart.
This private hospital offers two types of cesarean sections. Liang Youwei had initially opted for an extraperitoneal cesarean section, and after a brief examination, she confirmed it was still suitable, so she kept her plan. Extraperitoneal surgery requires a higher level of skill from the surgeon and takes longer.
Liang Zhihui couldn't stand Leng Ning's agonizing wait at this time, so she closed her eyes and pulled her sister out of the waiting room, trying to divert her attention.
"What happened tonight?"
"...I already said it, it was an accident."
Liang Jingyi held her breath, sweat dripping from her forehead. Her palms were burning, so she simply opened the window and let the night breeze in. Her silk shirt stuck to her sweaty back, and she shuddered for no apparent reason.
Liang Zhihui whispered: "Please give more details."
Liang Jingyi was annoyed and panicked, and she was in no mood to talk at all. She glanced away: "Sister, can you let me be alone and calm down?"
Liang Zhihui also tried to calm down: "But have you ever thought about what to do next? The operation will only take two hours at most. How are you going to face Liang Youwei? Will our family still be the same family in the future?"
"So what if it's not?"
Liang Jingyi turned her head and looked directly at Liang Zhihui, as if she was speaking without restraint, but also as if she was expressing her true feelings. She usually acted impulsively so often that Liang Zhihui couldn't tell whether her sister was speaking in anger or truth at this moment.
"I've made up my mind. Once I get Liang Jiangsheng out of office, I'll go abroad. It doesn't matter where I go. It doesn't matter anyway. You don't need to look for me or try to persuade me."
His throat rolled slightly, and Liang Zhihui opened his mouth: "Does Weiwei know?"
Liang Jingyi took a deep breath: "Maybe she can know, or maybe she doesn't need to know."
The woman didn't understand and was stunned: "Jingyi, what do you mean?"
Liang Jingyi: "It's not interesting. I reminded Liang Youwei a long time ago that I won't share. If she chooses me, then she and I will go abroad together."
Liang Zhihui: "What if she didn't choose you?"
Liang Jingyi smiled nonchalantly: "Then I'll leave. I'll never come back, never disturb you, and never interfere."
Liang Zhihui didn't understand her stubbornness and obstinacy: "Do you have to be so extreme?"
"It has to be done this way."
The woman opposite had her hair ruffled by the night wind, her voice firm, "Sis, from childhood to adulthood, don't you have a bottom line that cannot be challenged?"
“…Yes, so I blocked everyone who tried to break in. But Jingyi, aren’t we a family?”
"Ha, a family?" Liang Jingyi felt the irony and laughed out loud, "Sister, there has never been a family as twisted as ours in the world. There's no need for such a family to exist."
After a long silence, that cold and indifferent voice sounded again?
"Sister, don't worry. I will do everything I promised you, without missing a single one, whether it's Liang Jiangsheng or my share of the shares. Yixing has a lot of overseas businesses anyway, and these always need to be looked after by our own family. My team is all unmarried, so you can all go there without any worries. We will all stand behind you."
It felt as if an invisible boulder was pressing down on her heart. Liang Jingyi took another deep breath. She bit her lips tightly, and tears rarely appeared in her upturned eyes as she tried hard to look upwards.
"As for Liang Youwei...she doesn't cost much either. It shouldn't be difficult for you to support her with my share."
Having said this, neither of them spoke for a long time.
Half an hour later, the cell phones in their pockets suddenly vibrated, and both of them took out their phones almost at the same time.
Domineering CEO Xiao Jiao (7)
Shao Yue: We are coming out, mother and child are safe.
-
The premature baby was placed in an incubator. To prevent a repeat of the farce of twenty-two years prior, Liang Ting'an had arranged for a private room for the baby. Bodyguards were posted outside the door, guarding it 24 hours a day, in three shifts of six, each to provide mutual supervision.
Liang Youwei was in a deep sleep as soon as she came out. As to whether she was really asleep, only Shao Yue knew.
"The anesthesia is too strong and it's late now. Is it abnormal for her to fall asleep?"
Outside the ward, Shao Yue stopped Qin Zhen and asked in a low voice: "Do you really have to disturb her?"
"Wouldn't it be a disturbance if you were here?" Qin Zhen lowered his voice and squeezed out each word, "You can't even look at her?"
"Listen for yourself."
Shao Yue also knew that his words had no credibility, so he simply played the voice recording that Liang Youwei had made on the hospital bed.
"Don't let them in. You'll be the only one to accompany me tonight, Shao Yue."
Qin Zhen remained silent. He stopped looking at his phone and turned his gaze towards the ward.
She had concerns in her mind.
But what are the specific concerns?
"...You go in." Qin Zhen turned around and walked away. "I'll tell others about this."
…
"Weiwei? Are you still awake?"
Carefully sitting down beside the bed, Shao Yue held her hand as usual. It was a little cold, so he applied a little more pressure and wrapped it completely.
The person on the bed closed his eyes and said in a soft, hoarse voice, "Awake."
Shao Yue paused, "Do you want some water?"
"No need." Liang Youwei slowly opened her eyes, "They are not around anymore."
Shao Yue bent down and kissed her fingertips: "Well, I'm here. What do you want to say?"
"...Nothing. I just suddenly thought of a question." Liang Youwei looked at the comfortable ceiling and blinked very slowly. "Shao Yue, if this child is yours, for him, will you never have anyone else in the future? No matter if it's another woman or another child?"
Shao Yue froze. "Why would you ask that?"
"Just curious." Liang Youwei turned her head gently, a faint smile still in her tired eyes. "Don't act like you're facing a great enemy. I'm just asking."
His throat was dry, and the fear of the uncertain future grew stronger. Shao Yue held her hand tightly and said seriously: "If it were me, I would not have another wife, nor would I have another child."
In fact, Shao Yue has been sterilized now. It is impossible for him to have his first child.
The eyelashes flickered and a tear fell.
"...What if my brother can do it, and Qin Zhen can do it too?"
Shao Yue looked into her eyes and said word by word: "Then I will take care of it."
Liang Youwei smiled slowly: "Okay. Thank you, Shao Yue."
The other person didn't say anything, but leaned over and kissed away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Liang Youwei closed her eyes, and Liang Jingyi's words from a few months ago rang in her ears again.
"If I'm here, they're gone; if they're here, I'm gone."
She set a deadline of one year, but Liang Youwei felt that the decision could be made now.
