Li Shuzhen could only vent her anger on Liu Zhiyuan.
"Father-in-law, don't be angry, don't be angry. This has nothing to do with our Zichen. Liu Zhiyuan must have impulsively married a poor doctor and was unwilling to accept it, so she seduced Zichen, which led to all this."
As she spoke, she pulled Duan Zichen aside and pointed at Liu Zhiyuan, scolding him, "Liu Zhiyuan, you are reasonable. Can you have some shame? After what we've been through, Zichen can't be with you anymore. Our family has already decided that Xiaoxiao is our daughter-in-law, so don't let your delusions get the better of you."
After weighing the pros and cons, she decided to defend Pei Xiaoxiao, because in Sucheng, the Pei family has deeper roots than the Liu family.
Liu Zhiyuan sneered disdainfully, "Auntie, you think too much. I didn't seduce Zichen, and he knows it very well."
Li Shuzhen had always seen Liu Zhiyuan as cheerful and lively before, but now Liu Zhiyuan's sneer seemed to be mocking her self-righteousness. She raised her hand angrily and wanted to slap her.
Duan Zichen grabbed her wrist and said, "Mom, that's enough!"
Li Shuzhen growled at Duan Chengzhao, "You don't care about your son anymore? Look at him, he's trying to stop me from teaching this little bitch a lesson."
Duan Chengzhao shouted at Duan Zichen, "Zichen, be aware of your identity."
Li Shuzhen looked at Lin Jinrong and said angrily, "You don't want to teach your daughter a lesson, so I'll do it for you. It's simply lawless. Look at her attitude now, she's so arrogant!"
Lin Jinrong walked to the door of the emergency room, looking worried and nervous.
When Li Shuzhen raised her hand again, before Duan Zichen rushed over, a big hand had already grabbed her hand accurately, and the man's voice was full of coldness.
"You dare!"
Before Liu Zhiyuan could react, she was already held in Song Ling's arms with his other hand.
She pressed herself against his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat and breathing in his unique scent, feeling inexplicably at ease.
Song Ling's fingers slowly tightened and he pushed Li Shuzhen hard.
Li Shuzhen frowned in pain and screamed, "Who are you? Let me go!"
Song Ling let her go, his brows slightly furrowed, his voice cold, yet unquestionable, "Do you dare to try?"
Li Shuzhen shuddered inexplicably. The aura of the man in front of her made her feel guilty.
She really wanted to hit him again, but something seemed to be wrong with her hand and she had no strength at all.
Liu Zhiyuan looked up at the man beside her and whispered, "Uncle."
That voice revealed unconscious grievance and a hint of dependence.
Song Ling responded in a deep voice, "I'm here!"
Song Ling glanced at Duan Zichen's posture indifferently, and curled his lips coldly, "My woman, I will protect her!"
When Duan Zichen saw this scene, the fire of jealousy in his eyes almost burst out.
When did she stop telling him about her grievances? He wanted to snatch Liu Zhiyuan from Song Ling's arms, but unfortunately his father kept pulling his arm.
At this time, the door of the emergency room opened and the doctor came out.
Pei Songlu immediately stepped forward, and Duan Chengzhao and Duan Zichen also went over to greet him.
Song Ling pulled Liu Zhiyuan away. Before leaving, Liu Zhiyuan seemed to hear the doctor say that Pei Xiaoxiao's child could not be saved and had a miscarriage.
Outside the emergency room.
After hearing the news, Lin Jinrong's legs went limp and she slumped in the chair. She couldn't help but ask, "The child is gone? What can I do? Xiaoxiao cares most about the baby in her belly. Sigh..."
Although Li Shuzhen was also very sad about the loss of her grandson, she was not so depressed now that the adults were fine.
She comforted him softly, "It's okay, Xiaoxiao is still young, and she will have children in the future. I will take care of her personally during this period. Once she recovers, she will have children again."
Duan Zichen was relieved when he heard that the child was gone.
Pei Songlu saw Duan Zichen's obviously relieved expression and was very angry. "Duan Zichen, what's with that expression? My Xiaoxiao is pregnant with your child, and you're still happy now that the child is gone? Aren't you too heartless?"
Li Shuzhen pulled her son aside and calmed down.
"Father-in-law, don't be angry. You must have seen it wrong. How could Zichen be happy? Zichen is naturally worried about Xiaoxiao's safety. Xiaoxiao is fine, which is the most important thing. Don't you know that it was Zichen who carried Xiaoxiao to the hospital? There is blood on his sleeve. He must be feeling very uncomfortable."
Pei Songlu had a cold face and said nothing. He turned and went into the ward to look after Pei Xiaoxiao who was lying on the bed.
Pei Xiaoxiao had an abortion and uterine cleaning operation and was still in a coma.
His pale face blended into the white sheets, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and even though he was unconscious, he seemed to be unable to sleep well.
After she was pushed into the ward, Duan Zichen just stood at the door, glanced at her, and then shifted his gaze elsewhere.
After the nurse left, he looked at the time on his watch and said, "I'm going back to the company first."
Pei Songlu was very angry at Duan Zichen's attitude, and stared at him with angry eyes.
Duan Chengzhao couldn't hold back his pride and slapped his son.
"Nonsense! Why are you going to the company at this time? Xiaoxiao's child is gone. She will definitely be very sad when she wakes up! You stay and comfort her."
Li Shuzhen felt sorry for her son. She secretly glanced at Duan Chengzhao and agreed, "Zichen, you stay and take care of Xiaoxiao. Don't worry about the company for now. Your father and I need to go back and take care of some urgent matters."
After saying that, Li Shuzhen winked at her son fiercely.
Duan Zichen wanted to refuse, but Li Shuzhen lowered her voice and said, "Child, can you be sensible? Mom is already in a bad mood without her grandson, so don't make me angry anymore. The child in Xiaoxiao's belly is yours, how can you leave?"
He thought about it and decided to stay.
After everyone in the ward left, he sent a text message to Liu Zhiyuan.
"Does your face still hurt? Happy birthday."
When Liu Zhiyuan opened the message while sitting in the car, her eyes became complicated.
She used to look forward to this day every year because only her Zichen would remember her birthday and prepare a surprise for her.
However, when she saw such a text message again, she only felt sad.
It's all over and there's no going back.
Song Ling was driving. After taking a look at Liu Zhiyuan's phone screen, his eyes darkened.
"delete!"
Liu Zhiyuan was in a daze until the man next to her reminded her coldly, then she quickly deleted the text message.
After putting the phone back into her bag, she felt sad when she thought about Pei Xiaoxiao's lost child.
Song Ling saw through her thoughts as if he had the ability to read her mind, "Not worth it!"
Liu Zhiyuan reacted quickly.
The uncle was comforting her. Perhaps only an uncle could comfort someone in such a domineering way.
She suddenly felt much better.
