Chapter 403: Learn the truth + Is something wrong with the baby?
The sudden meeting made the atmosphere tense and awkward.
Shen Zhixu was a little surprised by Du Lan's arrival. He asked bluntly, "Du Lan, what's the matter?"
"Zhi Xu, this is..."
Du Lan looked at Qin Shaochen, surprise flashing in his eyes: "You...you said you were married, and this is your lover?"
Shen Zhixu was about to respond to him when Qin Shaochen suddenly said, "Du Lan, if you have anything to say, please contact me privately. You don't have to come to my house on purpose."
"I went to the studio to look for you today. Your colleague said you didn't come this morning. I thought you should be at home, so I came here according to the address Lawyer Liu gave me."
Du Lan's eyes were filled with uneasiness: "Isn't it disturbing you?"
"I didn't go there yesterday because of something."
Qin Shaochen looked at Shen Zhixu: "You go back first, Du Lan and I have something to talk about."
"I'm here with you."
When her lover met her ex-boyfriend, Shen Zhiyou felt a little uneasy.
But Qin Shaochen was very firm: "Du Lan and I only had a few words, I won't embarrass him."
"Chenchen, you misunderstood me."
Shen Zhixu explained anxiously, but when he met Qin Shaochen's determined eyes, he finally compromised.
"I'll go back first, you guys can talk slowly."
Shen Zhixu returned home and stood in front of the French window looking at the situation outside.
Why did Du Lan suddenly find Qin Shaochen and mention the lawyer?
What happened in the meantime that he didn't know about?
The more Shen Zhixu thought about it, the more anxious he became. He called his assistant and asked him to find out why Du Lan had come to Qin Shaochen.
Outside the villa,
Du Lan stood under the tree, looking at Qin Shaochen with complicated eyes: "I really didn't expect that you would marry Zhixu."
Qin Shaochen: "I didn't expect that you would be his ex-boyfriend."
"Ex-boyfriend? Did he tell you that?"
Qin Shaochen noticed something unusual about Du Lan's words. He frowned and looked at the man in front of him: "What do you mean by that?"
"Since you don't know anything, there's no need for me to explain it so clearly."
Du Lan's meaningful words caused Qin Shaochen, who already felt insecure, to have a rift in his trust in Shen Zhixu.
He wanted to get to the bottom of it and find the truth: "Du Lan, please explain clearly."
"Actually, I shouldn't tell you so much, but I don't want you to be deceived."
Du Lan showed a tangled expression: "No matter what you say, you are still my brother in name only. Just based on this relationship, you should know the truth."
Sweat oozed from Qin Shaochen's palms. He pinched his fingers, feeling a strong sense of unease in his heart.
"You...what do you know?"
Du Lan took out his cell phone: “You can listen to it yourself, this is what Shen Zhixu said when he came to me that day.”
He clicked the play button on the recording, and soon Shen Zhixu's voice came from the loudspeaker: "I couldn't get over it when we broke up. I got married to Chenchen in a flash because I wanted to get over this relationship as soon as possible."
"I married him on impulse from the beginning. I don't like him and I will file for a divorce."
The recording was brief, but it clearly expressed Shen Zhixu's attitude.
Qin Shaochen was trembling all over and his face was as pale as paper.
He never expected that Shen Zhixu would say such a thing.
Since you married him on impulse, why don't you divorce him now that your white moonlight is back?
Is it because he is pregnant?
Thinking of this possibility, Qin Shaochen felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his whole body was cold.
The chill that seeped from his bones made his teeth chatter.
Shen Zhixu likes children, so she would rather be with him for the sake of the child.
Du Lan took in all the changes in Qin Shaochen's expression, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
It seems that Qin Shaochen does not trust Shen Zhixu.
"Shaochen, I didn't mean to sow discord between you and Shen Zhixu. I just wanted to tell you the truth. You can go to Shen Zhixu to verify it now."
Du Lan achieved his goal, and he did not continue to dwell on this topic.
The seeds of doubt have been planted and will soon take root and sprout.
He curled his lips and changed the subject: "Actually, I came here today at my father's request. He wants you to accept the money. He said it was compensation for you and Uncle Qin. If possible, he wants to see Uncle Qin again."
Qin Shaochen's originally pale face instantly turned red, and anger burned in his eyes: "You tell him to give up this idea. I won't let my father see him."
Du Lan: "Shaochen, Dad has advanced stomach cancer. The cancer cells have spread. He doesn't have much time left."
"What does this have to do with me?"
"He is your father after all."
"If I had a choice, I would rather not have such a father."
Qin Shaochen clenched his fists, his eyes red. "Du Lan, don't come to me again. Ask Lawyer Liu to send the waiver letter over, and I will sign it. From now on, I don't want to see anyone from your Du family."
He threw down these words and turned to walk towards the villa.
Du Lan stared at his departing figure, with a chill in his eyes.
He originally didn't want Qin Shaochen to take the inheritance, but Du Xinyuan said that if Qin Shaochen did not inherit the inheritance, he would not be able to get the part that belonged to him.
He grew up with Du Xinyuan, but their father-son relationship of more than 20 years was not as good as that of an illegitimate child.
His father would rather deprive him of the right to inherit the estate for the sake of an illegitimate child.
What's so good about Qin Shaochen?
Why should I get my father’s inheritance and Shen Zhixu’s love?
Du Lan clenched his fists tightly, and his cold eyes gradually became vicious.
If he can't get the inheritance, Qin Shaochen won't have an easy life either.

When Shen Zhixu saw Qin Shaochen coming back, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Chenchen, what did you say to Du Lan?"
"What did I say to him that makes you so nervous?"
Qin Shaochen's eyes were cold, and all the gentleness he had shown today was gone.
Shen Zhixu knew that Du Lan must have said something to him. He grabbed Qin Shaochen's wrist and said, "Come with me to find Du Lan and ask him in person."
Qin Shaochen shook his hand away: "I won't go!"
"Chenchen, Du Lan and I are over a long time ago."
Shen Zhixu's voice inevitably rose in anxiety, and Qin Shaochen shuddered, looking at him with a defensive look.
"Chenchen, I didn't mean to be mean to you. I was just too anxious."
Shen Zhixu tugged at his collar irritably: "Can you trust me this time?"
Qin Shaochen pursed his lips and said nothing.
His eyes were a little red and his face was pale.
Seeing him like this, Shen Zhixu couldn't bear to say any harsh words.
He walked over and wanted to hug Qin Shaochen, but the man had already turned and ran upstairs when he approached.
"Chenchen, slow down!"
Shen Zhixu's heart was in his throat. He took a step forward to chase after him, but he didn't dare to follow too closely.
Qin Shaochen ran into the bedroom and immediately closed the door.
Shen Zhixu was locked outside the door. He wanted to knock on the door, but was afraid of startling the people in the room.
After all, Qin Shaochen is still pregnant and can't stand the tossing and turning.
Shen Zhixu stood at the door and said in a soft voice, "Chenchen, I know you're in a bad mood right now, and I won't bother you. But I hope you can think about the matter between Du Lan and me calmly. Don't just listen to one side of the story. Sometimes what you hear is not necessarily the truth."
Qin Shaochen leaned against the door and heard his words very clearly.
yes!
Sometimes what you hear isn't necessarily true.
So how sincere was what Shen Zhixu said to him?
That night, Shen Zhixu slept in the guest room.
He slept very uneasily and would get up from time to time at night to listen to the noise in the next room.
The bedroom is always quiet.
For fear of disturbing Qin Shaochen's rest, he didn't dare to make too much noise.
At six in the morning, Shen Zhixu got up and made breakfast.
Before breakfast was ready, he received a call from his assistant.
The call only lasted a few minutes, but the news the assistant brought caused a huge uproar in Shen Zhixu's heart.
He never imagined that Du Lan and Qin Shaochen were half-brothers.
After a moment of silence, Shen Zhixu said, "Find a bodyguard to secretly follow Chenchen and protect his safety. If there is any movement from the Du family, notify me immediately."
Qin Shaochen slept very uneasily at night and did not wake up until 7:30 in the morning.
He felt a little uncomfortable in his lower abdomen and went to the bathroom and found blood.
He was completely stunned!
Could there be something wrong with the baby?
Thinking of this possibility, Qin Shaochen hurried out of the bathroom. He put on a coat casually and went downstairs quickly with his car keys.
Hearing the hurried footsteps, Shen Zhixu poked his head out of the small living room and only saw Qin Shaochen leaving.
He didn't bother to talk to his assistant and chased after him: "Chenchen!"
When Shen Zhixu chased to the door, he found that Qin Shaochen had already driven away.
Something must have happened since you're in such a hurry to go out.
Shen Zhixu immediately drove the car and chased in the direction Qin Shaochen left.
Qin Shaochen came to the hospital and went to the emergency room.
After the examination, the doctor took off his gloves and said, "Mr. Qin, you have some symptoms of threatened miscarriage."
Hearing the word "miscarriage", Qin Shaochen was terrified: "Doctor, will it really happen?"
"Your symptoms are not very serious. Go back and rest well."
The doctor lowered his head to write the medical record: "I see that the bleeding is not heavy and has stopped now. You don't need to take any medicine for the time being. Go home and observe for a day. If the bleeding continues, seek medical attention as soon as possible."
No need to take medicine, just rest, proved that the problem was not serious. Qin Shaochen finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not dare to take it lightly.
He decided to take a few days off and have a good rest at home.
Qin Shaochen thanked the doctor and prepared to leave the hospital.
But as soon as he walked out of the office, he ran into Shen Zhixu who was rushing over.
"Chenchen, what's wrong with you? Why did you come to the hospital?"
Shen Zhixu held Qin Shaochen's arm, his eyes full of tension.
Qin Shaochen broke free from his hand and turned his head away without looking at him.
The silent silence made Shen Zhixu very anxious: "Chenchen, say something!"
Qin Shaochen's attitude made Shen Zhixu feel uneasy.
When he saw the operating room not far away, he felt a deep sense of uneasiness in his heart.
Could it be that Qin Shaochen came to the hospital for an abortion?
His face changed drastically, and he grabbed Qin Shaochen's wrist and asked in a deep voice, "Chenchen, did you abort the child?"
Qin Shaochen was startled.
"I'm asking you a question, why don't you speak up!"
Shen Zhixu's attitude became bad in a hurry.
Qin Shaochen was angry and aggrieved, and tremblingly said, "You only have this child in your heart."
