Chapter 117 Miscarriage
Yin Jiaxi applied burn ointment to Bai Zhenzhu's arm and then bandaged it up briefly.
She said indignantly, "Is Mai Yue'er crazy? How could she treat you like this? Look at your tender arms, they're all swollen up! Pearl, although you're not exactly a normal person either, this Mai Yue'er is even crazier than you. I really don't know how Shi Jin could marry a woman like this? Isn't he afraid that she'll pour a basin of hot water on him while he's sleeping in the middle of the night?"
Bai Zhenzhu was amused by Yin Jiaxi's cuteness and jokingly held her hand, saying, "Jiaxi, am I really not a normal person? I feel like I'm quite presentable!"
"White Pearl, it's only because I've stayed by your side all these years that I'm still here for you. You have such extreme ideas, you do things inexplicably, you act on a whim, you're happy one day at a time, you're heartless, twisted and contradictory, and your aura is so dark!"
"Take Shi Jin's situation for example. You and he could have had a happy ending three years ago, but you dragged it out for another three years, putting on this chase-and-run drama. I really don't know what you're struggling with. I've known you for so many years, and I can tell right away that you actually like Shi Jin, but you just wouldn't admit it. Sigh, now look what's happened, Shi Jin is getting married soon, and you'll be all alone from now on..."
If it were in the past, Bai Zhenzhu would definitely have replied to Yin Jiaxi with "Boring, I have never liked Shi Jin," but this time, Bai Zhenzhu was silent and seemed to be deep in thought.
This immediately made the previously chattering Yoon Ga-hee realize that there was something going on between them.
"Pearl, you, you are not..."
Just as Yoon Ga-hee was about to ask the question, the secretary knocked on the office door.
"Mr. Bai, someone is looking for you."
...
Bai Zhenzhu was still sitting on the sofa, watching Shi Jin walk in silently step by step.
She straightened her skirt, stood up, and had a faint smile on her lips.
"What brings you here, Mr. Shi? Is there something you need?"
"Why did you send MaiMai a video?" He didn't bother with pleasantries and went straight to the point, his expression grim.
"Oh? Mai Mai complained to you so quickly? I thought she was pretty good at keeping quiet!"
"White Pearl, there's something that's puzzling me. Can you tell me?"
Tell me about it.
"do you like me?"
Shi Jin took a half step forward, hooked his arm around Bai Zhenzhu's waist, and leaned down slightly. The two immediately touched forehead to forehead, their bodies intimate and close.
Bai Zhenzhu clearly felt her heartbeat quicken by half a beat, her eyelashes tremble, her cheeks warm, and her breathing become rapid.
Only then did she understand what it felt like to be moved.
Just as she was about to utter the word "like," Shi Jin poured cold water on her.
"Bai Zhenzhu, I still advise you not to like me anymore. Don't do such stupid things as sowing discord again. Do you think your methods are very clever? Do you think Mai Mai and I will break up because of this? You not only underestimate my charm, but also my feelings for Mai Mai. Let me tell you, Mai Mai and I have a very stable relationship, and the wedding will be held as scheduled. None of the things you hope for will happen."
Bai Zhenzhu suddenly broke free from Shi Jin's restraints and smiled speechlessly.
"So, you think I sent that video to Mai Mai because I like you, causing you two to argue and break up, preventing you from getting married, and then I took advantage of the situation?"
Shi Jin raised an eyebrow, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
"Shi Jin, you're much more arrogant than you were three years ago. If I could like you, I wouldn't have waited three years to get to this point. In my eyes, you've always been a man without any charm. Even if I like your money, I'll never like you as a person! Please wake up, okay? Also, I can kindly tell you why I sent that video to your fiancée. It's simple: I've been a bit bored lately, and I don't like the look of you. I just wanted to play around with you two. You want to find even a little bit of sincerity in me, Bai Zhenzhu? Sorry, there's nothing like that disgusting stuff!"
Shi Jin felt that her heart had swelled to the point that it was squeezing out other organs, and there was no room left in her body to breathe.
His voice trembled as he said, "Bai Zhenzhu, you are hopeless! Three years ago, I must have been blind to fall in love with you. But thankfully, Mai Mai appeared. I'm going to marry Mai Mai. I want to grow old with her and have many, many lively and lovely children with her. My money, my person, my heart all belong to Mai Mai!"
If the knife that pierced Shi Jin's heart was pulled out by Shi Jin and then turned back to stab her fiercely, then that knife would undoubtedly become sharper and faster.
Bai Zhenzhu felt short of breath, her vision went black, and she fainted.
"White Pearl! What's wrong? Pearl!"
...
Inside the ward, Bai Zhenzhu lay weakly on the bed, with an oxygen tube inserted and glucose being administered.
Shi Jin had just come out of the doctor's office and was completely dazed.
It felt like there was a sharp, piercing sound in my head, like fingernails scratching a blackboard.
He seemed to hear something the doctor said, but it all felt unreal.
"Mr. Shi, we gave Miss Bai a full physical examination. It seems that she didn't receive proper care after her miscarriage, which made her too weak and caused her to faint due to anemia. But please don't worry, it's not a big problem. Just rest more and try not to get angry, and she'll be fine."
"abortion?!"
Shi Jin was both familiar with and unfamiliar with this term, and was afraid that she had misheard it, so she asked again.
The doctor patiently explained, "Mr. Shi, Ms. Bai did indeed have a miscarriage, and it was likely a surgical abortion, not an accidental one..."
Shi Jin walked to the bedside and saw that Bai Zhenzhu had already woken up.
He clenched his fists at his sides, his eyes blazing, and asked in a trembling voice, "Bai Zhenzhu, you've had a miscarriage? Whose child was it?"
Bai Zhenzhu's face was already pale, but now it was even whiter than ashen. She looked at him with a guilty conscience and shock.
But he stubbornly refused to admit it, saying, "I don't understand what you're saying. I'm very tired and need to rest. Please leave."
Looking at her evasive eyes, Shi Jin felt as if a dark cloud had been cast over his heart.
"Bai Zhenzhu, stop lying to me. The doctor examined you and said you've had a miscarriage. I just want to know, what was that child...?"
At this point, Shi Jin's throat tightened, and after a few seconds, she finally managed to utter, "That child... is he mine?"
As he spoke, his eyes reddened.
