Chapter 80 The cause of the miscarriage has been found.
Jiang Shiyuan looked at Ye Yu's anxious, flushed face and was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond.
“Ah Yuan, maybe what I’m saying is extreme and traditional… but you are a girl after all, and you and Xie Jinghuai have had such a falling out. You can’t be without a man to take care of you.”
Ye Yu was so nervous that a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, the veins in his neck throbbed slightly, and his breathing became heavy. "I want to take care of you... I want to be the kind of man who can support you!"
Jiang Shiyuan suddenly froze, as time ticked by.
At that moment, Ye Yu's heart was also counting down the seconds.
He has been single for nearly thirty years and has always been like a monk who strictly adheres to the rules of celibacy, avoiding women. He even avoids using women as his secretary and assistant.
Even though Jiang Shiyuan has been married and had children for many years, he still can't forget her and can't accept other people's advances.
He thought he would keep this secret for the rest of his life, but unexpectedly, it was revealed tonight. His heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to explode!
“Senior brother, divorce doesn’t mean my life will be plunged into darkness. We live in a society governed by law now, and I have the ability to make a living. The Xie family won’t make things difficult for me so easily.”
Jiang Shiyuan smiled faintly, clearly not understanding Ye Yu's confession. "Besides, I don't need a man to support me. For the past five years, I've taken care of myself. I can manage on my own."
Ye Yu's Adam's apple bobbed painfully, and a thousand words remained unspoken.
“I don’t think Xie Jinghuai will let this go so easily. He’s been pampered since he was a child, always being carried around in luxury. For you to lay a hand on him is to say that you’ve brought him a great humiliation.”
Jiang Shiyuan looked him straight in the eye seriously, "In the future, if Xie Jinghuai causes you trouble, you must tell me immediately. Don't try to handle it alone. We'll figure something out together."
*
Xie Jinghuai arranged for Lin Zhixin to stay in a VVIP luxury ward at the hospital, with special care, meals, and hospitalization fees, totaling as much as 200,000 yuan per day.
Another area here that is closed off year-round is where Xie Jinghuai's father, chairman of the Xie Group, lives.
The nurses watched as Xie Jinghuai entered Lin Zhixin's ward and didn't come out for most of the night, as if they had witnessed the two entering their bridal chamber, with crickets chirping incessantly behind him.
"Mr. Xie really spoils Miss Lin by arranging for her to recuperate in an exorbitantly priced hospital room! It's a pity that Mr. Xie is still unconscious, otherwise he could meet his new daughter-in-law."
"What kind of status does Mr. Xie have that he stays by Miss Lin's side every step of the way? Isn't that a bit too much love?!"
"After tonight, who knows, they might even have a child by then!"
Suddenly, one of the nurses thought of something and lowered her voice:
"I was transferred here five years ago, and my first job was to help Mrs. Xie during her childbirth. Mrs. Xie had a difficult labor, barely escaping with her life. Mr. Xie wasn't by her side the whole time; she gave birth to the child all by herself. To be honest, it was really pitiful..."
When Mrs. Xie gave birth, the Xie family didn't give her any special treatment; they only arranged a regular ward for her. This Miss Lin, however, has no health problems whatsoever, yet Mr. Xie arranged for her to be in a top-of-the-line ward… Let alone Mrs. Xie, even I, as an observer, felt indignant and felt sorry for her.”
"What's wrong with that? Haven't you heard the saying, 'The one who isn't loved is the mistress'? Mr. Xie has someone else in his heart, how could he possibly treat a woman he doesn't love well? The fact that he hasn't divorced her yet is already giving her plenty of face."
...
After a thorough examination, Lin Zhixin's attending physician said that she had only choked on a few mouthfuls of water and was a little frightened, but was otherwise fine.
Xie Jinghuai's anxiety finally subsided.
However, that night, Lin Zhixin kept complaining of heart discomfort and clung to Xie Jinghuai's hand, refusing to let him leave.
"Brother Jinghuai... my heart is hurting so much... please... stay with me, okay?"
Since five years ago, when Lin Zhixin suffered organ dysfunction due to excessive blood transfusion while trying to save Xie Jinghuai, she has frequently experienced various health problems.
Xie Jinghuai took her to renowned doctors all over the world, but none of them could find a cure.
He always felt indebted to her, so he would do his best to fulfill whatever she asked of him.
"I'm not leaving, you go to sleep." Xie Jinghuai sat on the edge of the bed, his phoenix eyes deep.
"Brother Jinghuai, promise me... you won't blame your sister, okay?"
Lin Zhixin's eyes were red, and her voice was so weak it sounded like she was leaving her last words, "My sister pushed me because she suspected I had bullied Miss Su."
We're sisters after all, I'll explain things to her later..."
The man listened in silence, his handsome face as cold as frost.
"Sisters my foot!"
Shen Zhantang's handsome face was clouded with intense anxiety. He pushed open the door just in time to hear this, "Zhixin, you're too kind. You're so close to her, but she's outsmarting you. She knew you weren't well, yet she still pushed you into the water. How is that any different from premeditated murder?!"
Ah Huai, Jiang Shiyuan threw a tantrum in public, bullied Zhixin because she's weak, and embarrassed you in front of others. You have to stand up for Zhixin; you can't just let this go!
Xie Jinghuai recalled Jiang Shiyuan's anxious expression towards Ye Yu, his clenched fists turning white at the knuckles, his voice laced with a chilling intensity:
"I will handle this matter. I will not let Zhixin be bullied for nothing."
"If I were you, I'd divorce her the moment it's light. Spending another day with her would be disrespectful to myself!"
Shen Zhantang gritted her teeth, "How could she care for and look after another man in front of her own husband? What the hell was she thinking? You're not dead yet, you're still breathing!"
Xie Jinghuai's expression was as gloomy as if he were about to unleash a thunderbolt. "Ye Yu, I will not let him off lightly."
Shen Zhantang raised an eyebrow with a wicked grin, “If you want to avenge Zhixin, you should start with Ye Yu. Just go after him to death. That way you’ll feel good, and Jiang Shiyuan won’t feel good. It’s killing two birds with one stone.”
Xie Jinghuai remained silent, a cold glint in his eyes.
Shen Zhantang impatiently glanced at his watch and then picked up his phone to call Su Xier for the N+1th time.
The previous times, the call went through but the answer didn't come.
This time, it actually shut down!
"Damn it! You dare turn off your phone? Just wait till I get back and teach you a lesson!"
Shen Zhantang cursed and complained, but he felt a little uneasy.
Su Xier followed him when she was twenty. For six years, her phone has never been turned off at night. Whenever he wanted to find her, he could always reach her.
Shen Zhantang frowned and sent a message to his secretary:
[Find out if Su Xier is currently with Mrs. Xie. Give me a definite answer as soon as possible!]
...
The next morning, Xie Jinghuai attended a meeting at the group company and then rushed back to the hospital.
Instead of going to see Lin Zhixin immediately, he went to visit his father, who had been in a coma for six years.
Xie Changyue lay silently on the hospital bed, his temples graying, his eyes and cheeks sunken. Although he had been receiving expensive intravenous nutrition to maintain his vital signs for years, he had not eaten any grains, and he had become emaciated.
"Dad, your son has come to see you again."
Xie Jinghuai sat on the edge of the bed, holding his father's withered hand tightly, his phoenix eyes red, "You have lost a lot of weight, but you are still as charming as ever."
You're still the most handsome man among Beijing's bigwigs.
He came last night too. Actually, he makes time every month to visit his father, telling him about the big and small things happening in the company, and how he outwits those old foxes in the business world.
"Dad, there's something I need to tell you. Jiang Shiyuan wants a divorce."
Xie Jinghuai's eyes were dark, containing a hint of anger. "Originally, I planned to bring her to see you in the next few days. She has been married into the Xie family for five years, and she has not yet formally met you."
But after what happened last night, I feel like it wasn't necessary.
Xie Changyue naturally couldn't give him any answer.
"Last night, I kept thinking, if I hadn't chosen Jiang Shiyuan and had just married some other woman, would I have avoided all this trouble? I really brought this on myself..."
After visiting his father, Xie Jinghuai returned to the door of Lin Zhixin's hospital room.
"Thank you, Mr. Xie." Han Xu bowed deeply, clearly having been waiting for him for some time.
"How's it going?" Xie Jinghuai asked coldly.
“These past few days, you asked me to follow Yang Jing’s lead to investigate Manager Wu, and sure enough, I found that the couple are birds of a feather. Yang Jing is involved in sex trafficking in private, and the people she serves have close relationships with Wu Hui.”
Han Xu's brows furrowed. "Not only that, Wu Hui also took advantage of his position to embezzle project funds from the R&D department with his wife. The exact amount is still under investigation, but it has been some time since the incident, so the embezzled funds have probably been laundered by Wu Hui and transferred to overseas accounts, making it very difficult to investigate."
"Ha, this shifty-eyed couple has really been fed to the point of being bloated and fat since they entered the Xie family's big granary."
Xie Jinghuai's thin lips curled into a cold smile, and he casually uttered a sentence through his teeth, "Greed knows no bounds. He may be greedy, but I wonder if he'll live to enjoy it."
Han Xu was furious. "If it weren't for Madam exposing Yang Jing's dirty deeds, we might not have been able to expose Wu Hui, that big rat."
The man's gaze was indifferent and unwavering as he changed the subject, "I'll be staying at the hospital tonight. Go and prepare a new suit for me and bring it over. If there's nothing else, you can leave."
Han Xu quickly stopped him, "President Xie, there's one more thing."
Xie Jinghuai paused, "What?"
Han Xu stared intently at his cold, indifferent eyes and took a deep breath:
"When I went to the R&D department to investigate and collect evidence yesterday, I also found out the real reason for my wife's miscarriage."
