"What did you say?!" Zhou Min jumped up, her face turning pale and then red.
Song Ningxue remained remarkably calm. "I don't know how much An Szeze has found out. We need to hurry and erase the traces of the hospital."
"You bastard!" Zhou Min was both angry and anxious. After cursing, she felt relieved and raised her hand to hit Song Ningxue. But when she saw Song Ningxue's high pregnant belly, she withdrew her hand with a look of remorse.
Zhou Min was furious. "How could you do such a foolish thing! I've told you more than once that Xu Lin is just someone you can play around with, and you actually got pregnant with his child!"
“What’s the point of saying all this now?” Song Ningxue gripped the back of the chair, her hands trembling uncontrollably beneath her loose sleeves. “Mom, we can’t just sit here and wait to die. What if Yu Chuan can’t do anything to Song Nuan, and then…”
"Alright, stop talking!" Zhou Min interrupted.
She's even more confused than Song Ningxue right now.
Song Ningxue frowned slightly, her tone hardening: "Mom, you need to contact that person to handle An Shao's matter as soon as possible. Otherwise, your inheritance rights to the group and your position as the young mistress of the Qin family will be in jeopardy."
Zhou Min glared at her and asked, "Which hospital did you go to for the abortion?"
Song Ningxue quietly told her about the hospital and the attending physician.
Zhou Min said, "I will send someone to handle things at the hospital. You can focus on your pregnancy."
Song Ningxue said anxiously, "Then Young Master An..."
“These things are none of your business!” Zhou Min rarely gave Song Ningxue a hard time, but that person was her bottom line. “Ningxue, don’t mention him again.”
Song Ningxue nodded reluctantly.
The ward returned to quiet for a moment, the air slightly oppressive after the argument.
Zhou Min opened the window, walked to the small terrace, and from an angle where Song Ningxue couldn't see, flipped to the bottom of the contact list.
After a moment's hesitation, Zhou Min chose to send a text message: "Can we meet?"
She didn't expect a reply from the other side; she only considered it an explanation to Song Ningxue.
Unexpectedly, the other party replied quickly: 【What is it?】
Zhou Min was extremely excited. "An Szeze has some things in his hands, could you help him get rid of them?"
【cannot. 】
Zhou Min's smile froze on her face.
At the doorway, Song Nuan stared in disbelief, unable to calm down for a long time.
Before Song Ningxue noticed, she quietly closed the door.
Lu Ziyang crossed his arms, leaning lazily against the wall, his voice perfectly controlled, soft and gentle: "Weren't you looking for Zhou Min? Aren't you going in?"
Song Nuan shook her head, "Never mind."
"Just let it go?" Lu Ziyang raised an eyebrow. Was she really going to just let it go about Du Fanyu's business like that?
An Szeze played a trick, making Song Ningxue nervous and eager to unleash her ultimate move.
Since Song Ningxue cared so much about the 'evidence' in An Szeze's hands, Song Nuan originally wanted to take advantage of the situation and make a deal with Zhou Min—using the evidence in An Szeze's hands in exchange for Zhou Min providing clues about Du Fanyu and Cai Enhua.
Unexpectedly, before she could even pull off this scheme of getting something for nothing, Song Nuan overheard another big piece of gossip about Song Ningxue.
Song Nuan clutched her chest, which thumped loudly.
Stimulate!
Lu Ziyang looked at her calmly. "What surprised you?"
Song Nuan said, "She had an abortion. She was actually pregnant with Xu Lin's child."
Lu Ziyang: "You don't know?"
Song Nuan slowly raised her head to look at him, "You know?"
"I know," Lu Ziyang nodded.
Song Nuan asked, "How did you know?"
Lu Ziyang shook his head and gently flicked her forehead. "When Si Ze investigated her relationship with Xu Lin, he found out everything about them. You're a member of the Song family, so I thought you knew."
Song Nuan remained silent.
How could she know? She only found out about Song Nuan and Xu Lin's past relationship through An Sze.
Lu Ziyang seemed to remember as well, and he pursed his lips slightly, "Who exactly is Xu Lin?"
Song Nuan paused for a few seconds before answering, "He is my grandfather's adopted son, and there are also rumors that he is my grandfather's illegitimate son. In any case, Song Ningxue and I have to call him uncle."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ziyang frowned slightly; he had never heard of this matter before.
The Song family kept it well hidden.
Seeing his expression, Song Nuan suddenly wanted to laugh, "Don't you also think it's amazing? Uncle and niece."
"It's perfectly normal," Lu Ziyang said calmly.
What one hears and sees in the Li family is far more distorted than these stimuli.
Song Nuan misunderstood his meaning. "That's true. There's a lot of gossip in the escort industry. Every day, fresh moral and ethical gossip is released."
Lu Ziyang pursed his lips into a straight line, speechless at her guess, yet unable to refute it.
Song Nuan tugged at his sleeve. "Let's go home."
Lu Ziyang chuckled and put his arm around her slender waist.
"Be careful, there might be Qin Yuchuan's spies here." Song Nuan gently patted his hand.
Lu Ziyang was arrogant and unrestrained, without the slightest worry, "No way."
Ah Xuan and the others followed silently.
If Qin Yuchuan really had people on his side, they would have been dealt with long ago.
Song Nuan was cautious and wanted to refute him.
Suddenly, the elevator doors opened, and a figure stepped out—who else could it be but Qin Yuchuan!
Song Nuan's breath hitched, and almost instinctively, she pulled Lu Ziyang into the stairwell next door.
The magnetic door slammed shut with a loud bang.
Lu Ziyang was pinned against the wall by Song Nuan, who was practically lying on top of him. She was unaware that her hands were pressed against his chest, and she was staring intently at the corridor with the eyes of a frightened deer.
He glanced at it briefly out of the corner of his eye, and if he wasn't mistaken, it was Qin Yuchuan who came out of the elevator.
Lu Ziyang pulled her hand away. "What are you hiding from?"
Song Nuan: "Qin Yuchuan is here."
“I am your lawyer now, upright and aboveboard, there’s no need for me to hide.” Lu Ziyang straightened his clothes, emphasizing the word ‘upright and aboveboard’ in his voice.
Song Nuan looked him over suspiciously, "You're pretty quick to get into character."
"Stop looking." Lu Ziyang pulled her back and took the opportunity to hug her. He was tall and had a wider field of vision than Song Nuan. "Qin Yuchuan is nearby."
Song Nuan looked up, resting her chin on his collarbone, and their bodies resonated as she spoke.
What's he doing here?
Lu Ziyang couldn't help but laugh, pointing to the door, "You just made such a commotion, he had to come and check it out."
Song Nuan: "..." Fine.
Song Nuan broke free from his embrace and, like Lu Ziyang, began to straighten her clothes.
Outside the door, Qin Yuchuan stood five steps away.
Song Ningxue called out to him from behind, "Brother Chuan, what are you looking at here?"
"It's nothing," Qin Yuchuan replied. He saw two figures slip into the stairwell. He was initially worried they were reporters or paparazzi, but upon closer inspection, it seemed unlikely.
He had people stationed around him, making it difficult for reporters and paparazzi to get in.
"Alright then." Song Ningxue took his arm, her eyes downcast, her face full of worry. "Brother Chuan, even after all this time, the online buzz about me is still rising."
Song Ningxue sobbed softly, "Is Young Master An deliberately targeting me?"
Qin Yuchuan: "No."
Song Ningxue gave a soft snort, clearly not believing it.
Originally, it was a group of people exposing each other's dirty secrets, but Song Nuan issued a statement and took the initiative to defend her relationship with Qin Yuchuan, and Song Ningxue instantly became the only one at fault.
Why should I?!
