Chapter 154 Clarifying One's Intentions
Fu Shenyuan was slightly taken aback; his hands were empty, and his heart felt empty as well.
Jiang Ranxing's rejection was so obvious.
Anyone could tell.
Even though he had already said that he cared about her, Jiang Ranxing wouldn't care about it anymore.
Fu Shenyuan chuckled twice, but the smile was unusually bitter.
Their relationship has undergone a qualitative change; it's no longer the same as before, with Jiang Ranxing chasing after him.
Now, it's the other way around; he can't let go of Jiang Ranxing.
Even after standing still, Jiang Ranxing still felt unwell, with a feeling of nausea rising in her chest.
She quickly clutched her chest and hurried towards the bathroom, leaving Fu Shenyuan outside the door.
She slammed the door shut, then leaned against the sink, unable to vomit anything.
She had barely eaten anything at the restaurant when Fu Shenyuan forcibly dragged her out.
My stomach is empty now.
It seems the baby in my belly is causing all this trouble.
Jiang Ranxing placed her hand on her lower abdomen and glanced back.
Through the frosted glass door, Jiang Ranxing could see Fu Shenyuan standing at the door.
As if the baby in her womb was sensing something, she felt physical discomfort again.
Jiang Ranxing lowered his head and spoke to his lower abdomen.
"Do you know your father is here, so you're making a scene with me? Do you know how hard it is for me too?"
Jiang Ranxing was talking to himself when Fu Shenyuan knocked on the door.
"How are you?" Fu Shenyuan asked from outside the bathroom door.
Jiang Ranxing didn't answer. She splashed cold water on her face, trying to clear her head, and then opened the bathroom door, where she saw Fu Shenyuan standing.
Jiang Ranxing didn't say anything, but simply asked, "Can I go home now? You won't force me to stay here anymore, will you?"
Fu Shenyuan lowered his eyes, seemingly agreeing with Jiang Ranxing's words.
He could no longer force Jiang Ranxing to do anything.
However, he didn't want Jiang Ranxing to leave so soon, so he said, "It's so late today, you should rest here and go back tomorrow."
Fu Shenyuan noticed that Jiang Ranxing's complexion was not good, so he said, "I'll have my private doctor come over and take a look at your health."
He looked at Jiang Ranxing's pale face and was still a little worried.
"No need," Jiang Ranxing immediately refused. She didn't want Fu Shenyuan to know that she was pregnant.
If Fu Shenyuan finds out, there will probably be even more trouble.
She didn't have any expectations for the child, so it was best not to cause any unnecessary trouble.
Fu Shenyuan's eyes seemed to hold an imperceptible hint of hurt.
"Are you really going to refuse my help like this? Why didn't you refuse Ji Shiheng and the others?" Fu Shenyuan asked.
Jiang Ranxing didn't know how Fu Shenyuan came up with those questions.
That's ridiculous.
She said, "Are you comparable to them? If not, don't ask these meaningless questions."
In matters of the heart, Fu Shenyuan's feelings for her couldn't compare to any of the men around her.
Jiang Ranxing only saw things clearly now.
Jiang Ranxing didn't plan to stay here. Although it was late, the fact that she was under the same roof as Fu Shenyuan made her even more uncomfortable.
She slowly walked to the door, but then a dizzying sensation began to wash over her.
The moment she touched the doorknob, she completely lost her footing. In the brief moment of dizziness, Jiang Ranxing saw Fu Shenyuan striding towards her and steadily supporting her body.
At this moment, Jiang Ranxing truly wished that this person wasn't Fu Shenyuan, and that the warm embrace wasn't his either.
But things didn't go as planned.
Jiang Ranxing's body has not fully recovered, and the pregnancy has further affected her health.
Fu Shenyuan carried Jiang Ranxing back to the bedroom bed. Jiang Ranxing was still feeling weak all over, and was forced to be with Fu Shenyuan.
He took out his phone to call his private doctor, but Jiang Ranxing grabbed his hand.
"I'm fine, no need to trouble Dr. Zhao."
Jiang Ranxing managed to say, "I'm just a little tired. I'll be fine after a nap."
She herself was aware of her physical condition; ultimately, it was the pregnancy that was affecting her.
It seems she can't keep this baby in her belly for much longer.
When a mother and child spend too much time together, they will inevitably develop a connection and emotional bond under the influence of hormones.
She needs to make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise the physiological effects will be really terrible if it goes on for too long.
Hearing Jiang Ranxing say that, Fu Shenyuan had no choice but to put down his phone. He said, "If you're tired, just rest. I'll watch over you from here."
Jiang Ranxing felt somewhat helpless. It was rather eerie for a grown man like him to be watching her like this.
However, Fu Shenyuan didn't seem to want to move, so she had no choice but to ignore him and turn her back to him to sleep.
Jiang Ranxing slept very lightly throughout the night, and she could almost feel Fu Shenyuan checking her body temperature from time to time.
She simply didn't want to pay attention, which is why she didn't open her eyes.
On the other side, in the Green Mountain Villa.
Lin Xuesha looked at all the unanswered calls in her call log, and her heart pounded with anxiety.
Lin Xuesha went downstairs and asked the housekeeper, "Did Shen Yuan come back last night?"
The butler shook his head: "Assistant Tan said that the master didn't come back to the villa last night. Miss Lin, would you like to see him?"
"Oh, then no need," Lin Xuesha said.
Although she still suspected that Fu Shenyuan had done something, she had more important things to do today.
As for Fu Shenyuan's matter, she will gradually restrain him later.
As long as it doesn't involve other women, she's not so worried.
She checked the time on her phone and realized it was time to go out. She had an appointment with Dean Zhao today, which Lin Heyuan had arranged for her.
After changing her clothes in the master bedroom, Lin Xuesha picked up her car keys and left.
Upon seeing this, the butler asked, "Miss Lin, would you like a driver to take you out?"
Lin Xuesha shook her head and said, "No need."
This matter is not something that should be known to anyone today, especially those connected to the Fu family.
So Lin Xuesha drove herself to the hospital where Dean Zhao worked.
Lin Xuesha did not meet Dean Zhao in the dean's office, but instead invited him to a nearby upscale Japanese restaurant, a private setting perfect for discussing personal matters.
After arriving at the private room, Lin Xuesha sat cross-legged on the futon.
Dean Zhao acted quickly, arriving in less than ten minutes.
Upon seeing him, Lin Xuesha smiled warmly and stood up to greet him: "Uncle Zhao, you've arrived."
Dean Zhao was not particularly enthusiastic when he saw Lin Xuesha.
Lin Xuesha also knew what was going on. The Lin family was now in dire straits, so those powerful and influential people who used to be on good terms with them were now keeping their distance.
Dean Zhao's presence was actually due to some shared interests with the Lin family; otherwise, he wouldn't have come so easily.
Lin Xuesha knew that saying anything would be futile, so she opened her bag, took out a small brown paper envelope, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Dean Zhao.
"Uncle Zhao, this is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it."
Dean Zhao narrowed his eyes, picked up the envelope, pulled out the check inside, looked at the amount, and his expression immediately changed.
From an initially indifferent attitude, his face immediately became full of smiles.
Dean Zhao said, "Xue Sha, you're being too polite."
Lin Xuesha still smiled and said, "This is just a small token of my appreciation as a junior. I need your help, so please lend me your assistance."
Dean Zhao nodded and asked, "What do you want me to help you with? Your father said you're in a hurry. Tell your uncle about it."
Lin Xuesha immediately put on a wronged look and said as if she was complaining, "Uncle, I believe you know about my relationship with Shen Yuan. Shen Yuan really likes children lately, but my body was injured before and hasn't fully recovered, so I can't get pregnant for a while."
Lin Xuesha fabricated a story that sounded very believable.
After she said that, and considering that she had already given Dean Zhao so much money, she believed that he would still agree.
Lin Xuesha said, "So I want you to help me issue a fake medical report that says I am now pregnant."
Dean Zhao's expression changed, and he looked troubled: "This matter is not easy to handle, Xue Sha. Let me be frank with you, this is a case of falsifying a medical report. If it is found out, I, Uncle Zhao, will face legal action."
Dean Zhao's attitude changed immediately. Lin Xuesha's eyes darted around twice before she took out an envelope from her bag.
Lin Xuesha slowly pushed the envelope in front of Dean Zhao.
“Uncle Zhao, I know this is a difficult matter, but since I’ve come to you, I’m sure I’ve made preparations to ensure that this matter is not leaked, and of course, I won’t let you be involved in any risks.”
Dean Zhao glanced at the table again, picked it up, and opened it to find another long string of numbers.
Lin Xuesha smiled and said, "I hope Uncle Zhao can help me out."
Dean Zhao finally smiled when he saw the huge amount.
Dean Zhao nodded: "Alright, Xue Sha, considering my friendship with your father, I'll help you with this."
"But you can't betray Uncle Zhao."
Lin Xuesha smiled sweetly: "Don't worry, I definitely won't."
Lin Xuesha pointed to the food in front of her and told Dean Zhao to start eating first. She kept praising Dean Zhao throughout the meal and made him very happy.
Dean Zhao and Lin Xuesha went to his private hospital and arranged for someone to secretly issue a report to Lin Xuesha.
After receiving the brown paper bag containing the report, Lin Xuesha's lips curled into a cruel smile.
If she tells Fu Shenyuan that she is pregnant, she believes that Fu Shenyuan will focus all his energy on her and the "child" in her belly.
Then it will be much easier for her to marry Fu Shenyuan.
After leaving the hospital, she returned to the Lin family and told Lin Heyuan about her plans.
Lin Heyuan asked, "You can hide your fake pregnancy for a while, but what about later? Won't Fu Shenyuan become suspicious when the pregnancy progresses?"
Lin Xuesha said, "Of course I've thought this through. I just want to use this child to force Fu Shenyuan to divorce Jiang Ranxing and marry me. Once our wedding is held and the whole world knows that I am Mrs. Fu, this child will naturally disappear."
"At that time, Fu Shenyuan will definitely feel very guilty towards me, and his guilt will be my greatest protection."
Lin Heyuan then asked, "What about your marriage with Zhou Mozheng? Aren't you going to get a divorce for now?"
"We can't deal with Zhou Mozheng anymore. After what happened last time, he must be completely enraged. We absolutely cannot go to him now," Lin Xuesha said.
Lin Xuesha still felt lingering fear whenever she thought of Zhou Mozheng's terrifying appearance.
However, Zhou Mozheng is unlikely to set foot in the country again anytime soon. As long as he doesn't return to China, Zhou Mozheng won't have any impact on her.
It would be best if he never came back.
That way, she can sit comfortably in Mrs. Fu's position.
"Okay, have you mentioned financing to Fu Shenyuan? I'm really short of money and need it as soon as possible." Lin Heyuan was a little anxious. His phone kept ringing, mostly with project debt collectors, and he didn't dare to answer the phone anymore.
“Those debt collectors are coming to block our door soon, you have to help your father.”
Lin Heyuan was getting anxious. Lin Xuesha had been following Fu Shenyuan for so long, but she hadn't even managed to raise any money.
Lin Heyuan said, "Don't always think about hooking up with Fu Shenyuan. Just take the money you're entitled to. Only when a man spends money on a woman will he value her more. If you want Fu Shenyuan to be unable to leave you, you have to use some necessary methods."
Lin Xuesha said anxiously, "Don't worry, I'll go talk to Fu Shenyuan about this today. He definitely won't stand by and watch me die."
Lin Xuesha was quite aware of her position in Fu Shenyuan's heart.
To Fu Shenyuan, "she" was someone no one could compare to.
As long as she retains the identity of her savior, she will be showered with Fu Shenyuan's love for the rest of her life.
However, Fu Shenyuan has been acting somewhat distant towards her lately, and she doesn't know why.
She was going to put some pressure on Fu Shenyuan today, otherwise things might get out of control if things continued like this.
Lin Xuesha returned to her room in the Lin family home and took out the letter she had forged to deceive Fu Shenyuan years ago from the cabinet. It was this letter that made Fu Shenyuan completely believe that she was the one who saved him.
It seems we still have to use this method.
This method is the best way to control Fu Shenyuan.
Lin Xuesha silently murmured to herself, "Jiang Ranxing, since you're so useful, please help me one last time."
Lin Xuesha put the letter into her bag and then left the Lin family home.
As for Jiang Ranxing and Fu Shenyuan, when Jiang Ranxing woke up, Fu Shenyuan was no longer by her side. Judging from his voice, he was probably making a phone call outside.
Jiang Ranxing didn't want to waste any more time with him, so she put on her coat and prepared to leave.
Jiang Ranxing walked out of the room. Fu Shenyuan was on the sofa talking on the phone. After seeing her, he said something to the person on the other end of the line.
"Alright, that's all for now. Arrange for the doctor to come over."
Fu Shenyuan hung up the phone and, seeing Jiang Ranxing's expression, asked, "Are you leaving now?"
Jiang Ranxing: "Otherwise, am I supposed to stay here forever?"
Jiang Ranxing hadn't slept well all night and wasn't feeling particularly well, so she wanted to go back and rest.
Fu Shenyuan stood up and said, "I've called a doctor over. Wait for him to examine you, and then I'll take you home."
Fu Shenyuan now subconsciously doesn't want to force Jiang Ranxing to do things she doesn't like.
Since he realized his feelings for Jiang Ranxing yesterday, he has been unable to do the same things as before.
Subconsciously, he still hoped that Jiang Ranxing would be happier when she was with him.
However, Jiang Ranxing just smiled; she didn't care about Fu Shenyuan at all now.
Perhaps Fu Shenyuan is genuinely worried about her health, but she doesn't necessarily have to accept his affections.
Fu Shenyuan didn't accept it before, and she doesn't necessarily have to accept it now.
Jiang Ranxing continued walking outside: "I'm going back by myself. Don't bother your doctor anymore. Let him go back."
Jiang Ranxing had already reached the door. After speaking, he opened the door and went out.
The door was slammed shut.
Fu Shenyuan and Jiang Ranxing were completely separated into two different worlds.
Fu Shenyuan looked towards the door and sighed softly.
Jiang Ranxing is now extremely resistant to him.
Perhaps he should do something to change Jiang Ranxing's opinion.
Perhaps if that were the case, Jiang Ranxing wouldn't have continued to resist him so much.
Jiang Ranxing might still be able to genuinely smile at her and treat her gently.
As Fu Shenyuan was thinking about these things, his phone suddenly lit up again. He saw the name on the screen and answered it.
“Snowy Gauze,” Fu Shenyuan said.
Lin Xuesha said into the phone, "Shen Yuan, are you free today? I have something I want to talk to you about in person. Could you come over to see me?"
Lin Xuesha's tone was very pitiful.
Although Fu Shenyuan hadn't thought about Lin Xuesha, he still couldn't ignore her situation.
"What's wrong, Xue Sha? What happened?" Fu Shenyuan asked, looking down.
Lin Xuesha didn't say it explicitly on the phone, but instead said, "Shen Yuan, how about I tell you in person after you come over? I want to tell you this in person."
Fu Shenyuan hummed in agreement, then said, "Where are you now? I'll come over right away."
Lin Xuesha sent her location to Fu Shenyuan, then said shyly, "I'll be waiting for you here."
Fu Shenyuan replied, "Okay."
After taking the fake pregnancy report, Lin Xuesha sat down in the private hospital's designated rest area.
She was thinking about how to talk to Fu Shenyuan in a way that would further evoke his pity.
She needed to make Fu Shenyuan completely fall for her.
However, Lin Xuesha had no idea that the person Fu Shenyuan was thinking about at that moment was actually Jiang Ranxing.
After Jiang Ranxing left, Fu Shenyuan sat alone on the balcony, gazing blankly at the vast scenery outside the window for a long time.
Until Lin Xuesha's message came.
After glancing at the message, Fu Shenyuan saw that the address Lin Xuesha sent was the location of an international private hospital.
Fu Shenyuan immediately felt a pang of anxiety and called Tan Shen to come pick him up.
"Come here immediately, we're going to the hospital."
Upon hearing this, Tan Shen rushed over to pick up Fu Shenyuan.
A discreet luxury car sped past on the road, with surrounding vehicles swerving to avoid it.
Fu Shenyuan was worried that something might be wrong with Lin Xuesha's health.
After Lin Xuesha saved him, her body was left with a weak foundation, making her prone to injury and hospitalization.
This is something that Fu Shenyuan has always been worried about.
Ultimately, he still felt guilty; he didn't know what he could do to repay that life-saving grace.
Such kindness is too great to be measured or repaid with material things.
He owed Lin Xuesha a life, and he would carry that burden for the rest of his life.
The car sped past, and half an hour later, Fu Shenyuan arrived at the private hospital where Lin Xuesha was.
"Xue Sha, where are you?" Fu Shenyuan walked quickly and called Lin Xue Sha.
Lin Xuesha replied, "I'm on the fourth floor."
Fu Shenyuan took the elevator to the fourth floor without hesitation.
At the elevator entrance on the fourth floor, Lin Xuesha was sitting in the comfortable rest area drinking hot milk. When she saw Fu Shenyuan coming over, Lin Xuesha smiled shyly.
