Chapter 50 You Lied to Me
Yun Zhaozhao went to Zhou Yueming's office to inquire about her pregnancy.
"Brother Yueming, will my belly be noticeable in a month?"
Yun Zhaozhao didn't understand these things, and with Fu Shangluo and the others there, she was too embarrassed to ask.
"Generally, you won't see any changes for the first three months or so, and you'll start to see some changes around the fourth month."
Zhou Yueming wasn't a gynecologist, but he knew these things. He knew what Yun Zhaozhao was worried about, so he comforted her, "Don't worry, there won't be any changes. You're thin, so no one will be able to tell."
"That's good."
Yun Zhaozhao didn't want anything to go wrong this month.
Yun Zhaozhao consulted in detail about the things she needed to pay attention to. Since she was going to keep the child, she naturally had to be careful.
Zhou Yueming talked to her a lot and gave her folic acid and some pregnancy precautions booklets.
Yun Zhaozhao was carrying a large bag of things when she unexpectedly bumped into Pei Jiuyan as she went out.
Pei Jiuyan looked rather unwell, her whole body covered in frost, and her face showing endless exhaustion.
Yun Zhaozhao paused for a moment and turned her body to avoid Pei Jiuyan.
"Why are you at the hospital?"
Pei Jiuyan's voice was terribly hoarse, "Is something wrong again?"
His gaze fell on the bag in Yun Zhaozhao's hand, his brows furrowing: "Is your stomach hurting again?"
As he spoke, he reached out to take the medicine from Yun Zhaozhao's hand, but Yun Zhaozhao dodged him.
"Pei Jiuyan, we're divorced."
Yun Zhaozhao reminded her.
Pei Jiuyan pursed her lips and said, "Still in the cooling-off period."
Yun Zhaozhao glared at him fiercely, and Pei Jiuyan squeezed out another sentence: "Even if we're divorced, our friendship from so many years is still there."
“Pei Jiuyan, please be a good ex-husband. A good ex-husband or ex-boyfriend is someone who will never appear in front of people again, like they’re dead, and never bother them. Don’t worry, I will be a good ex-wife.”
What affection could they possibly have? It was all a karmic entanglement.
“Zhaozhao…”
Pei Jiuyan's voice was somewhat sore: "My mother might not wake up."
Although Pei's mother has been saved, she is still lying in the intensive care unit and it is unknown when she will wake up.
He felt a pang of regret; he knew his mother was ill, yet he had insisted on forcing her to accept reality.
Yesterday, when he heard that Yun Zhaozhao had an accident, he rushed out, but he didn't know that his mother had actually gone to his father's grave alone. In such cold weather, she sat there for most of the night. When he went there in the early morning, his mother was ice cold and her lips were blue.
He used to think that nothing was too difficult for him, but now he realized that he had not handled either Yun Zhaozhao or his mother well.
Yun Zhaozhao glanced at him and said calmly:
“Your mother is sick, you should go and stay with her. She has never liked me, and if she finds out that you are still here talking nonsense with me, she will probably be even angrier.”
Upon hearing this, a bitter look flashed across Pei Jiuyan's eyes. He stepped aside, having come to ask Zhou Yueming about his mother's condition.
Seeing this, Yun Zhaozhao breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the corner, brushing against his body. Suddenly, someone rushed over and bumped into her hard. Yun Zhaozhao couldn't avoid it in time and took a few steps back.
"careful."
Pei Jiuyan reached out and caught Yun Zhaozhao just in time, preventing her from falling to the ground, but the bag in her hand scattered all over the ground.
Oh no!
Yun Zhaozhao quickly squatted down to pick it up, but Pei Jiuyan, with her sharp eyes, noticed something and grabbed a book on precautions for pregnancy first.
"What's this?"
He stared intently at Yun Zhaozhao.
Yun Zhaozhao pursed her lips and snatched the booklet from his hand. "Didn't you see these big words? Pregnancy Handbook."
As she spoke, Yun Zhaozhao naturally put the booklet back into the bag.
Pei Jiuyan certainly knew what it was, but why did Yun Zhaozhao want this booklet?
"Yun Zhaozhao, are you hiding something from me?"
Pei Jiuyan's eyes were extremely sharp as he stared intently at Yun Zhaozhao, seemingly trying to discern something amiss from her expression.
However, his little princess was no longer someone whose true nature could be easily seen through. She smiled sneer, "What are you hiding from me?" Then, with a look of sudden realization, she said, "You didn't think you were pregnant, did you? Hahaha..."
Yun Zhaozhao clutched her stomach and laughed, her eyes filled with mockery as she looked at Pei Jiuyan: "Pei Jiuyan, you're being far too presumptuous. Besides, even if I were pregnant, the child in my belly wouldn't be yours."
"What? You've lost your baby, and you're already in such a hurry to find a father everywhere?"
Yun Zhaozhao's words were as unpleasant as ever, and even Pei Jiuyan, who felt guilty, had several changes in expression.
Yun Zhaozhao gave a light snort and left with her things.
After walking for a while, seeing that Pei Jiuyan hadn't caught up, she breathed a slight sigh of relief. She must have managed to fool him just now, right?
Pei Jiuyan stood there for a long time, his mind filled with Yun Zhaozhao's unusual behavior lately: her poor appetite, the nausea she had experienced, and the sudden bleeding she had that day in S City...
His expression changed several times. He was about to go to Zhou Yueming's office when he suddenly remembered something and made a phone call to Assistant Qin.
"Help me investigate something."
Yun Zhaozhao returned to her ward and was finally completely relieved.
"Is it all resolved?"
Zhou Xiao had already packed everything.
"Yes, your brother prescribed a lot of medicine."
Yun Zhaozhao had a pained look on her face. Zhou Yueming had prescribed a bunch of folic acid, calcium tablets, and other medications, which were difficult for her to take.
"You went to see my brother, not to see Mother Pei?"
Zhou Xiao looked surprised, while Yun Zhaozhao was speechless: "Didn't I say I wasn't going?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiao gave a thumbs up. She thought Yun Zhaozhao was just saying it, but she didn't know that she really did it this time. This time, she truly believed that Yun Zhaozhao wanted to break up with Pei Jiuyan completely.
"Let's go back first."
"I almost got caught just now."
Yun Zhaozhao recounted what had just happened, expressing some concern. She now only hoped that Pei Jiuyan would focus on his mother and not overthink things.
Yun Zhaozhao moved into the Fu family's residence that very day, and Pei Jiuyan received the news immediately.
Assistant Qin glanced at Pei Jiuyan cautiously, expecting the BOSS to be angry, but to his surprise, his expression was very calm.
"How's the investigation going with what I asked you to do?"
Pei Jiuyan rubbed his temples and asked.
"The hospital here at the Zhou family's place can't find anything. The young master Zhou personally keeps Madam's medical records, and no one else knows anything about them."
"We are currently contacting the doctor in S City. However, I found out that the doctor is Young Master Zhou's senior fellow disciple, and Madam met with that doctor the day before yesterday."
Assistant Qin shared the information he had just found out.
Pei Jiuyan's expression changed once again upon hearing this, and he slowly said:
"Yun Zhaozhao, you better really aren't lying to me!"
