"Hurry, it's coming out, it's coming out!" Zhang Juanjuan shouted loudly.
Liu Xinlan pulled Shen Qiaoyue away and picked up the umbrella from the ground to cover Shen Qiaoyue.
"Get away from here quickly." Liu Xinlan pulled Shen Qiaoyue out of the courtyard.
After the men came in, they made Zhang Juanjuan let go of them.
Duan Wenrou came out from inside with scissors.
"Chen Qiaoyue, you will die a horrible death! You broke me up with Brother Lu Chen! I'm going to kill you!" Duan Wenrou came out of the living room, looking like a madwoman, brandishing scissors as if stabbing wildly.
Zhang Juanjuan and everyone else were watching from outside.
In fact, a soldier with a good physique could easily subdue Duan Wenrou by timing his movements perfectly.
Duan Wenrou's waist had already been injured by Shen Qiaoyue. A single movement by the soldier rendered Duan Wenrou unable to move. He restrained her hands and placed them behind her back. Unaware of Duan Wenrou's hands, he directly knelt on Duan Wenrou's waist.
The pressure of gravity caused Duan Wenrou to scream in pain.
They took the person away quickly.
Before leaving, Duan Wenrou stared at Shen Qiaoyue with a fierce look.
Liu Xinlan and everyone else could see it clearly; that gentle expression was truly terrifying.
"Qiaoyue, are you alright?" Liu Xinlan asked Shen Qiaoyue with concern.
Shen Qiaoyue shook her head, looked at Liu Xinlan with relief and said, "I'm fine, thank you everyone."
"No, you have to come to the hospital with me to get a checkup." Liu Xinlan was worried, especially since Shen Qiaoyue had been caught in the rain, so she insisted on going to the hospital for a checkup.
Shen Qiaoyue shook her head, unwilling to go.
"No, you're pregnant now. If something happens to you, how can I explain it to Lu Chen and your brother Xu?" Liu Xinlan insisted that Shen Qiaoyue go to the hospital for a check-up.
"Qiaoyue, are you pregnant?" Zhang Juanjuan asked Shen Qiaoyue in shock.
Shen Qiaoyue nodded, touching her belly, and said, "Yes, it's been a month and a half. I plan to tell everyone in a few days."
Zhang Juanjuan and Huang Yingzi exchanged a glance.
"No, you must go to the hospital for a checkup right away, girl." Huang Yingzi was worried that if she was pregnant and had been so frightened, she might not go to the hospital and something bad might happen.
Zhang Juanjuan also worriedly advised, "Yes, you should go to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible."
"Let's go," Liu Xinlan said, supporting Shen Qiaoyue.
With so many people persuading her, and Shen Qiaoyue also worried about the child, she went to the hospital for a check-up with Liu Xinlan.
After arriving at the hospital for a check-up, Shen Qiaoyue was soaked from the rain and changed into a hospital gown.
"It seems the fetus is healthy. Let's keep her in the hospital for observation overnight. Sister-in-law Shulan is in the next room. She needs to rest; she's also pregnant." Liu Xinlan stayed to keep Shen Qiaoyue company.
Upon hearing that Xiang Shulan was pregnant, Shen Qiaoyue asked worriedly, "How is Sister-in-law Shulan's health?"
"It's alright, thank goodness, the baby is safe, but she won't be able to get out of bed for the next few days." Liu Xinlan moved a stool over and sat down to the side.
Shen Qiaoyue nodded, "As long as the child is saved, that's fine."
"You said that girl's name is Duan Wenrou, what's her relationship with Lu Chen? It's like she's been mentally traumatized." Shen Qiaoyue was terrified when she recalled Duan Wenrou's expression.
I've never heard of this person in my past life. How is this possible?
"Oh!" Liu Xinlan told Shen Qiaoyue everything that Duan Wenrou had done.
Shen Qiaoyue frowned and said, "Duan Wenrou has liked Lu Chen for a long time?"
"Yes, Duan Wenrou saved Lu Chen's life when he was on a mission, and she fell in love with him at first sight. Later, Lu Chen was transferred to the Beijing Military Region for training, and Duan Wenrou kept harassing him, bringing him food, cooking for him, and freely entering and leaving his room. This forced Lu Chen to end his studies early and return to Fucheng, and she followed him there not long after."
As Liu Xinlan spoke, she peeled an orange for Shen Qiaoyue.
Shen Qiaoyue took a segment of the orange, then complained, "To be able to apply for a transfer here, your background must be extraordinary!"
“Of course, Mom’s the mayor’s sister, she’s definitely not ordinary!” Liu Xinlan complained. “When you were on your blind date, she made a scene with the division commander and the senior officers, saying she didn’t agree to Lu Chen marrying you. Later, when she realized it was no use, she brought Lu Chen some food, saying she was leaving as a token of her affection. Who knew she had drugged it? Lu Chen took it and miraculously survived, so she kicked him out of the dormitory. And no one even knows how she got into Lu Chen’s dormitory. Lu Chen only saw her when he returned to the dormitory, and he couldn’t get rid of her no matter what he did.”
Recalling the scene from back then, Liu Xinlan choked with emotion and sighed.
After listening, Shen Qiaoyue realized that Lu Chen had never mentioned these things before.
"This is insane!" Shen Qiaoyue exclaimed. "Just how many women has Lu Chen provoked? Wen Ruoyan, Aunt Wen's niece, Jiang Jinjing, and now Duan Wenrou!"
"The important thing is that these three women are quite good-looking! And Lu Chenman only has eyes for you," Liu Xinlan said with a smile.
"I don't like hearing that. I'm not bad looking either!" Shen Qiaoyue couldn't help but retort.
Liu Xinlan smiled, ate a segment of orange, and said, "Try it. Of all the women here, you are the most beautiful."
Shen Qiaoyue sighed with emotion!
No wonder my eyes kept twitching during the day.
It turned out that another ordeal awaited Shen Qiaoyue that night.
After experiencing this ordeal, Shen Qiaoyue felt very heavy and tired.
I fell asleep in less than half an hour.
Liu Xinlan stayed by her side the whole time, and if she had to leave, she would ask a nurse to check on her.
After Duan Wenrou was taken into custody, she suffered severe mental distress and was sent to a mental hospital where she was cared for by dedicated personnel.
After listening to the lecture, Shen Qiaoyue was furious and wished she could be even more ruthless.
On the other side...
Lu Chen arrived at the disaster area with the main force.
Many rural houses here were flooded.
As soon as they got out of the car, they started rescuing people; some of them were buried under the mud.
The rain continues to fall, which could easily cause flooding.
This was a race against time, with Xu Qianli and Lu Chen constantly directing their men to carry out the rescue.
Many people spent the entire night working, digging in the mud, setting up tents in open areas, basically working all night long.
His hands were chafed and bleeding, with wounds visible everywhere.
Lu Chen had no idea what had happened to his wife at home; he was too busy saving her to care for her.
The hospital was also unable to contact Lu Chen's troops.
Heavy rain continued.
The factory also stopped operating, and Shen Qiaoyue went home the next day at noon.
The women from the family compound also came to visit her, comforted Shen Qiaoyue, and helped each other through the next few days.
Xiang Shulan was recuperating in the hospital, and she didn't say a word after waking up.
Zhang Dali set off at the same time as Lu Chen, but Lu Chen couldn't be contacted, and neither could Zhang Dali.
After several days of continuous rain, Shen Qiaoyue knew that the situation must be quite serious in many places.
The radio also broadcast reports on the situation over the past few days.
Shen Qiaoyue only hoped that Lu Chen would be alright. Lu He hadn't returned for the past few days either, but he called back to say that he was taking care of the wounded at the hospital in the city and was safe and sound.
