Chapter 79 Falling
Zhong Nianyao was naturally very happy to have a new baby. However, her good mood came to an abrupt end after she returned to the Zhong family.
As soon as she stepped through the door, she saw a commotion inside. Furthermore, she seemed to smell a faint odor of blood.
With a stern look in her eyes, Zhong Nianyao walked in quickly, grabbed a servant and asked what was going on.
It turned out that this morning, Li Yiqiu had accidentally fallen and had already started bleeding. She had been rushed to the hospital. As for whether the baby could be saved, it was still unknown.
After finding out that Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong had already rushed to the hospital, Zhong Nian Yao turned around and left, heading to the hospital.
Of course, she wasn't concerned about Li Yiqiu, but was worried about the old man and the old lady. If Li Yiqiu's child really couldn't be saved, it would be a big blow to the two elderly people.
They soon arrived at the hospital. Before Zhong Nian Yao even got close, she could already feel the somewhat oppressive atmosphere.
"Zhong Nianyao, you still have the nerve to come here."
The moment she saw Zhong Nianyao, Zhong Mengxuan almost jumped up. She rushed to her and started cursing, "You evil jinx, you jinx! If anything really happens to my mom, I won't let you go."
Zhong Nianyao couldn't help but frown when she was suddenly scolded. "Put your finger back, or don't blame me for being rude."
She could understand Zhong Mengxuan's momentary loss of control, but she wasn't used to being scolded. If Zhong Mengxuan didn't restrain herself, she wouldn't give her any face.
"You——" Zhong Mengxuan was furious.
But for some reason, when she saw Zhong Nianyao's expressionless face and calm eyes, she couldn't help but shudder in her heart. In the end, she withdrew her hand in dismay.
However, when facing Zhong Nian Yao, she was still full of resentment.
"Grandpa, Grandma, what happened?" Zhong Nianyao walked directly to Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong, "Why did Second Aunt fall down suddenly?"
Everyone could see how nervous Li Yiqiu was about this pregnancy.
"You're so nervous about asking."
Before Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong could even open their mouths, Zhong Mengxuan couldn't hold back any more. "If you hadn't knocked something over at the door, how could my mom have fallen while passing by? Zhong Nianyao, you just don't want my mom to give birth to this child, right?"
Zhong Mingyu also looked up at Zhong Nian Yao, his eyes filled with blame and obscure hatred.
Zhong Nianyao understood, and finally understood what was going on. It turned out that Li Yiqiu fell at the door of her room, so now Zhong Mengxuan put all the blame on her.
"Okay, shut up!" Old Master Zhong said directly, "This incident was just an accident. Besides, he just fell at the door of Yaoyao's room, not because Yaoyao pushed him down. Why are you accusing me of this?"
"Grandpa, you can't be so partial!" Zhong Mengxuan was furious. "She——"
For a moment, she didn't know what to say. Zhong Mengxuan stomped her feet, her face flushed with anger.
Although Zhong Mingyu didn't say anything, the depressed aura around him was enough to show his inner uneasiness at the moment.
Zhong Nianyao raised her head, glanced around, and then said with a half-smile, "Zhong Mengxuan, the brain is a very valuable thing. So you should not treat it as a decoration. You should use it normally to prevent it from rusting."
Zhong Mengxuan wasn't a pushover, so she naturally recognized the sarcasm and flew into a rage. If they weren't in the hospital, with her grandparents present, she would have definitely rushed forward and attacked.
"Then use your brain to think about it." Zhong Nianyao said mercilessly, "What good will it do me if Second Aunt has a miscarriage? To put it bluntly, whether this child is born or not has nothing to do with me, and it will definitely not get in my way."
"Who knows what's going on in your mind!" Zhong Mengxuan was so angry that she continued, "Who knows, you might just be jealous, that's why—"
"Okay, stop talking."
This time it was Zhong Mingyu who spoke, and he gave Zhong Mengxuan a warning look.
Just now, because he was anxious and didn't think clearly, he blamed everything on Zhong Nianyao. But now, after hearing what Zhong Nianyao said, he came to his senses and figured out the key.
Indeed, as Zhong Nianyao said, whether he has a son or not makes no difference to her. Zhong Nianyao has no motive at all. As for who has the motive, that is self-evident.
Moreover, if he really thought that he hated Zhong Nian Yao because of this matter, then it is easy to imagine who would be the one who would benefit from it.
When he thought of this, a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes.
No matter who it is, he will not let anyone go if they want to harm his son.
"Dad, why are you helping her?" Zhong Mengxuan obviously didn't think the key point through. "She was the one who harmed Mom, and you're still protecting her."
"We'll talk about this later. Now shut up." Zhong Mingyu cast a warning look at Zhong Mengxuan. "I will investigate this matter thoroughly. No matter who dares to touch my son, I will not let him go."
As he spoke, Zhong Mingyu looked at Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong, "Dad, Mom, I hope you won't obstruct me when the time comes."
Mr. and Mrs. Zhong are not fools. After hearing what Zhong Nian Yao said just now, and now Zhong Mingyu said this, they probably guessed what was going on.
The two looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
Finally, it was Old Master Zhong who spoke up, "Okay, when we find the culprit, I will definitely not let him off easily."
He was naturally aware of the open and covert struggles between his two sons, both of whom wanted to gain control of Zhong's Jewelry. He didn't care much about this, as it was inevitable after all.
However, attacking a child is too detrimental. Moreover, this is the bloodline of their Zhong family, and he might even be the only son of the second branch.
That’s right, Li Yiqiu is pregnant with a boy, and they just had a blood test not long ago.
After getting the old man's promise, Zhong Mingyu didn't say anything else.
