Seeing Xiao Lei's gloomy face, the atmosphere was very tense.
"Who could resist this! Cousin, if you were here, you would definitely have agreed too!" Little Fish shouted defiantly, seeing Xiao Lei's unpleasant expression. "Such a good opportunity, who wouldn't want it! Anyone who says no is a fool!"
"It seems you really don't realize how terribly wrong your actions are!" Xiao Lei's face turned pale, his eyes wide with anger. "Little Fish, let me ask you, what if this medicine is highly poisonous? If Gu Qingyan dies here, have you considered the huge impact it would have on the Rong family!"
"What's the big deal, cousin!" Little Fish shouted nonchalantly. "The Rong family is much more powerful and influential than Gu Qingyan! What's there to be afraid of!"
Xiao Lei's eyes darkened further. "Where did you make the deal? Which bar?!" He then forced back his anger, "What day did this happen?"
"It was the night after Gu Qingyan was locked up, at the Lanxin Bar on Binjiang Road." Xiaoyu glanced at Wei Qiao and pursed her lips.
"Hmm." Xiao Lei got the answer he wanted, looked sharply at the little fish on the ground, and then said to the bodyguard, "Lock him in the stable. We'll talk about it after Brother Wei has figured out how to handle it."
"Hey! Cousin! Cousin!" Upon hearing this, Xiaoyu was so startled that his legs went weak. He tried to stand up several times but failed and fell back to the ground.
Xiao Lei glanced down at him, then turned around and prepared to leave.
But Xiaoyuzi pounced on him and grabbed Xiaolei's trouser leg. "Cousin, please beg Brother Wei! Don't let them lock me in the stable! It's no place for a human to live! I don't want to!"
Xiao Lei tugged at his trouser leg in disgust and kicked Xiao Yuzai aside. "Get out of here! You can't live a normal life, why do you have to do something so outrageous! You were bought off for 500,000?! Ha, you're really pathetic!"
After saying that, he shouted to the bodyguard, "Take him away. Brother Wei said that if he dares to resist, beat him severely. Don't hold back for my sake. I don't have a brother who would betray his own family like that."
"Cousin!" Little Fish was about to reach out when he suddenly saw the stick in the bodyguard's hand and withdrew his hand in fright.
The bodyguards threw him into the stable without any politeness. Seeing the drafty bars on all sides, Little Fish clutched the dirty blanket on the ground and huddled in a corner.
A gust of wind blew by, and the little fish shivered from the cold, its shoulders shrinking, its heart suddenly filled with despair.
Seeing the bodyguard throw two cold steamed buns into the bowl that Gu Qingyan had been eating from, Xiaoyu shouted, "Xiaolei is my cousin, and you're feeding me this? Get me a different bowl too, what if there's still medicine at the bottom?!"
Seeing that the bodyguards were ignoring him, he panicked, stood up, and started shaking the railing.
At this moment, his chest heaved violently. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. He began to imagine himself freezing to death here. He couldn't help but regret that the blanket he gave Gu Qingyan was too thin and could not keep him warm at all.

postpartum care center.
"Zhiqiu, are you feeling better today?" Rong Hong and the nanny, Aunt Zhao, came over together. Seeing that Shen Zhiqiu's complexion was getting better day by day, the heavy burden in their hearts gradually eased.
“Dad, you ask me the same thing every day you come.” Shen Zhi Qiu smiled and joked, “Look at my complexion, isn’t it getting rosier and rosier? I looked in the mirror today and I think I’ve gotten a lot rounder.”
"Not fat at all, my daughter is the most beautiful!" Rong Hong looked at Shen Zhi Qiu with a big smile.
"Miss, I brought you some fish maw and chicken soup." Aunt Zhao placed the insulated lunchbox on the table. "Please drink some while it's hot."
"Dad, look, how could I not gain weight? Aunt Zhao cooks and drinks all sorts of delicious food for me every day, and the postpartum care center also prepares a variety of nutritious meals for me every day. I can't keep up with all of them."
"When I looked in the mirror today, I was worried that I'd get too much nutrition. I don't want to end up as a round ball before I'm even out of postpartum confinement," Shen Zhi Qiu said, touching her belly with some concern.
"No, we'll focus on getting better during your postpartum period. Your health is more important than anything else!" Lu Jia smiled as she opened the insulated lunchbox, naturally picked it up, and sat down beside Shen Zhi Qiu's bed, taking out a spoon to feed her.
“That’s right, Lu Jia is right. Your health is the most important thing. Dad agrees wholeheartedly!” Rong Hong said with a smile.
"Yes! My brother agrees wholeheartedly!"
As he spoke, Rong Mo peeked out from the door, looking at Shen Zhi Qiu with a gentle smile. "My sister's health is the most important thing. Dad, it seems the nutritionist at the postpartum care center is really good; she's made Zhi Qiu's face so fair and rosy."
Shen Zhi Qiu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Brother, why are you here so early too? Didn't you say last night that you would come to see me a little later today?"
"That was originally the case, but things changed at the last minute, so I came to see you first. I have an international conference to attend tonight, and it will end very late," Rong Mo explained with a smile.
"Then come again tomorrow." Shen Zhi Qiu smiled. "I'm afraid you'll get tired if you come every day."
"How could I be tired from visiting my sister and nephews? I wish I could be with them all the time!" Rong Mo said with a smile as he threw away the somewhat withered gardenia and replaced it with the new one he had brought.
Shen Zhi Qiu took a deep breath and drank the chicken soup with a pleasant mood.
After drinking more than half a bowl, Shen Zhi Qiu felt a little full and told Lu Jia to stop feeding her.
Lu Jia then drank the rest of the chicken soup and joked, "If this keeps up, you might gain three pounds after your postpartum period, and I might gain five pounds."
Everyone burst into laughter.
Just as I was laughing, the room door was pushed open.
The nanny brought the babies in, and the two bodyguards following behind immediately stood guard at the door.
Rong Hong and Rong Mo each held one of the babies, looking at the soft and adorable little ones in their arms, they couldn't help but love them.
After seeing off Rong Hong and Rong Mo who came to visit, while the babies were full and asleep, the nanny and Aunt Zhao went to the next room to learn about childcare.
Originally, it was just the postpartum nanny who was attending the training and exam, but Aunt Zhao also went along in order to better take care of Shen Zhi Qiu and the babies.
Only Lu Jia and Shen Zhi Qiu remained in the room.
Shen Zhi Qiu looked at Lu Jia with a bright smile and said softly, "You've really worked hard lately! Things will be a bit easier in a while."
"How could that be? I feel at ease." Lu Jia smiled and stepped forward, placing a small dish of fruit on Shen Zhi Qiu's bedside table. "Have some fruit."
After saying that, he sat down on the chair next to the bed, took Shen Zhi Qiu's hand, and said, "Zhi Qiu, I feel very happy."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Jia's phone vibrated. He took out his phone, glanced at the message, and his expression instantly became very serious.
