Chapter 140 It’s better to be mentally prepared
In the office, Pei Jingyan was listening to his secretary report on tomorrow's schedule.
"Mr. Pei, you have a signing ceremony for the Beijing-Hong Kong project to attend at 10 a.m. tomorrow and will be delivering a speech."
"After this, the two leaders of Ji'ao will meet with you."
"afternoon........."
Before the secretary could finish her words, the sudden ringing of her cell phone interrupted her.
Pei Jingyan glanced at the screen of his mobile phone, and when he saw Shen Lai flashing on the caller ID, a smile appeared in his eyes.
He raised his hand to signal his secretary to wait a moment, then picked up his phone.
Pei Jingyan is always serious in the company. Even his secretary couldn't help but take a peek at the screen, wanting to see who on earth could make President Pei show such an expression.
Pei Jingyan ignored the secretary's little movements and leaned lazily against the leather seat behind him.
He picked up the phone casually, his tone completely different from the coldness just now, like a melting iceberg revealing warmth, "Why are you calling me suddenly?"
It sounded like a conversation with family.
The secretary was hesitating whether to leave first. The next second, she saw Pei Jingyan's expression suddenly change, as if a hole was torn in the darkness. His voice sank to the bottom, "What did you say?"
A woman's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Are you Shen Lai's family member? She gave birth prematurely and is now in the hospital for emergency treatment. Please come quickly."
Pei Jingyan stood up suddenly, grabbed his suit from the backrest and rushed out of the office.
The car sped along the road, the horn blaring throughout the street, causing passers-by to talk a lot. However, Pei Jingyan didn't care about that and ran through red lights all the way to the hospital.
When Pei Jingyan rushed out of the operating room, Wu Qi was walking anxiously in the corridor.
Hearing footsteps, Wu Qi turned around and saw that it was Pei Jingyan. She hurried over and said, "Mr. Pei, you're here!"
Pei Jingyan stared at the red light above the operating room with bloodshot eyes. He slowly looked at Wu Qi, his voice as if it had been rubbed by gravel, very hoarse, "What's going on? How could Shen Lai be in premature labor when she was fine?"
Wu Qi said: "Today, Shen Lai and I went to the mall to buy things for her hospital stay. As a result, Tong Miaoling rushed out from nowhere and knocked Shen Lai down. I had no time to stop her."
When he heard the words "Tong Miaoling", the veins on Pei Jingyan's forehead jumped violently.
His voice was covered with a layer of frightening frost, "Where is she?"
"She's been sent to the police station." Wu Qi paused. "But it's said that Tong Miaoling is mentally unstable, so I don't think the police will do anything to her."
Pei Jingyan's eyes were unconsciously filled with dark danger. He glanced at the operating room in front of him, then slumped down on the bench as if exhausted, with bloodshot eyes.
Wu Qi said comfortingly: "Shen Laiji has his own destiny, nothing will happen to him."
Pei Jingyan didn't say anything. He clenched his fists little by little, and veins appeared on the back of his hands.
Soon, hurried footsteps came from the end of the corridor, and then a pair of dusty leather shoes stopped in front of Pei Jingyan.
When Dai Jingxuan returned home after finishing his work today, he found that the door had been opened at some point and Tong Miaoling was nowhere to be found.
He hurried out to look for someone, but heard from passers-by that a psychopath had attacked a pregnant woman in a shopping mall, and it was said that she was a celebrity.
Only then did Dai Jingxuan know that Tong Miaoling had attacked Shen Lai.
Dai Jingxuan's face was solemn, and he obviously didn't expect this to happen. He took a deep breath and spoke with guilt in his voice, "Boss Pei, it was my fault that I didn't think highly of Tong Miaoling, which is why she hurt Miss Chen. I apologize on her behalf."
Pei Jingyan slowly raised his head and looked at Dai Jingxuan with cold eyes. "Apologize? What's the point of your apology?"
"I........"
Pei Jingyan stood up and suddenly grabbed Dai Jingxuan's collar, his voice covered with murderous coldness, "I tell you, if anything happens to Shen Lai and the child, neither you nor Tong Miaoling can escape!"
After saying that, he pushed Dai Jingxuan away fiercely. Dai Jingxuan lost his balance and staggered back two steps. His tie tilted to one side, making him look a little embarrassed.
His chest kept heaving, but he couldn't refute it.
It was because Tong Miaoling hurt Chen Lai, and Chen Lai was Pei Jingyan's man.
Just then, Dai Jingxuan's cell phone rang. It was a call from the police station.
He forced himself to calm down and answered the phone, "Hello."
I don't know what was said on the other end of the phone. Dai Jingxuan said in a serious tone, "I understand. I'll go over now."
After hanging up the phone, he looked at Pei Jingyan's cold profile, then looked at the closed operating room, took a deep breath, turned and left.
Pei Jingyan never looked at Dai Jingxuan from beginning to end. He stared at the operating room in front of him, and even seemed unaware of his fingertips sinking into his palms.
The incident of Shen Lai being attacked in the shopping mall became a hot topic and caused a sensation for a while. Even the parents of both parties knew about it and rushed to the hospital overnight.
Chang Suning grabbed Pei Jingyan's hand and asked anxiously, "Jingyan, how is Lailai?"
Pei Jingyan's face was solemn and his voice was hoarse, "The doctor is still trying to save the patient."
Seeing that his face looked very bad, Shen Lingzhen hurried over to support Chang Suning and comforted him: "Don't worry, our daughter will be fine."
Chang Suning nodded painfully and was helped to sit down on the bench.
Yin Ningjing noticed the injury on Pei Jingyan's hand and frowned, "How did you get this on your hand?"
Pei Jingyan looked down at the back of his hand. There had been a car accident on the way here, and he was stuck there, unable to move. It was caused by his fist hitting the steering wheel.
Yin Ningjing probably guessed what was going on. "Let the nurse take care of you first?"
Pei Jingyan raised his head and looked at the operating room in front of him, putting his hands in his pockets, "I'm fine."
Yin Ningjing wanted to say something, but Pei Kaifeng interrupted her, saying, "Shen Lai's safety is more important now. We can take care of the wound later. Please stop rambling."
"I'm just concerned about my son, okay?" Yin Ningjing retorted unwillingly.
Looking at Pei Jingyan again, he didn't even look at them, as if he couldn't hear any sounds from the outside world.
Yin Ningjing's expression became more complicated.
Although she was not satisfied with Shen Lai as her daughter-in-law, she did not want to see Pei Jingyan so distraught, so she said soothingly: "Chen Lai is eight months pregnant, which means she gave birth a month early. When your mother gave birth to you, she was also premature, but she is fine now, right? So don't think too much, she and the child will be fine."
Pei Kaifeng also said: "Your mother is right, if this hospital doesn't work, we will change to another hospital."
Pei Jingyan did not respond, staring at the operating room in front of him.
It was the first time for the two to see Pei Jingyan's expression like this. He has always been mature, and when he thought about the traitor in the company he had just taken over, he was able to handle it calmly.
Now that Shen Lai is in trouble, it seems as if all his calmness and self-control have disappeared.
Time passed little by little. The corridor was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. The atmosphere was solemn and no one spoke.
I don't know how long it took, but the door to the operating room suddenly opened and a female doctor came out. "Is the pregnant woman's family here?"
Pei Jingyan stood up suddenly and walked quickly to the doctor, "I'm her husband!"
The doctor said: "The pregnant woman gave birth to a daughter, weighing 3.5 kilograms."
Hearing this, the others showed happy expressions. Chang Suning even covered his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, "That's great, that's great."
Pei Jingyan froze at first. He heard the sound of his heart falling heavily back to its original position, and then a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
However, before the people present could be happy for long, the doctor changed the subject, "However, the pregnant woman experienced heavy bleeding after giving birth and is now in shock. Her condition is very critical, so your family members had better be mentally prepared."
