183: Chapter 183 Are You Willing to Abort?
Su He sighed, raised her hand to pat Jing Xuan’s back, and said, “I heard you skipped two meals, eat something first, we can talk about it later.”
Upon Su He’s words, Jing Xuan’s originally not hungry stomach suddenly made some rumbling sound.
Everyone: “…”
Jing Xuan got up from Su He, gave her a smile, “Looks like I am indeed a bit hungry.”
After saying that, she noticed there were two men standing beside her.
Her gaze swept past Jiang Yan and landed with a glare at Lu Zhiyang next to him, then she snorted and spat out two words: “Schemer!”
Lu Zhiyang: “…”
He is the schemer???
He was about to say something, but in the next second, Jing Xuan pulled Su He back into the room, followed by a loud slamming of the door.
It’s not her door anyway, even if it’s broken, she wouldn’t feel sorry.
The two men outside: “…”
Jiang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly.
“Old Lu, maybe you should just initiate the divorce, if she divorces you later, you’ll lose even more face.
You can’t handle her temperament.
If Jing Chu knew how you treated his sister, he probably wouldn’t want to recognize you as a brother anymore.”
Jiang Yan suddenly berated.
Lu Zhiyang pursed his lips: “Haven’t you heard of advising reconciliation rather than advocating separation?
If I can’t handle her, do you think you can?
You talk as if Su He is very submissive, who knows she might talk about divorce with you one day!”
“Me initiate the divorce?
When Su He proposed to divorce you, why didn’t I see you agree promptly?”
He poked his heart, of course, he had to retaliate.
The proverb says: What comes around, goes around!
Jiang Yan: “…”
Click!
The door was opened again at this moment.
Both men looked over, only to hear Jing Xuan saying quickly, “You, bring the food to me!”
She said this while pointing at Lu Zhiyang, after finishing, she unhesitatingly slammed the door again.
“Bang!”
Jiang Yan chuckled, “My wife is much gentler than yours.”
At least he had never seen her slamming doors in such a hurry.
Lu Zhiyang couldn’t be bothered with him and turned to go downstairs.
Five minutes later, he came up carrying the food.
He raised his hand and knocked on the door, “Xuanxuan, the food is…”
Before he could finish speaking, Jing Xuan’s loud voice came from inside, “Leave it at the door, go away, I don’t want to see you, you make me lose my appetite!”
“…”
Helpless, the man did as told.
After placing it down, he said, “I’ve left the food at the door, remember to eat while it’s warm, I’m leaving.”
Having said that, he turned again towards the stairs.
Jiang Yan casually sat on the living room sofa, watching the man hesitantly walking towards the stairs, almost unbearable to watch.
“If you roll down later, I definitely won’t call 911 for you.”
After hearing the sounds of the door opening and closing, Lu Zhiyang finally withdrew his gaze and then turned to look at the man in the living room.
His dark eyes stared at Jiang Yan across the room, his tongue touching the back of his teeth, “Did you take the wrong medicine tonight?”
This guy really seizes every opportunity to take a dig at him.
He didn’t provoke him, did he?
Jiang Yan leisurely leaned on the sofa, his magnetic voice tinted with a bit of laziness, replied, “Your wife is occupied by others, can you have as good a temper as I do?”
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhiyang was rendered speechless, “Is it really necessary?
You’re being jealous over this?”
Jiang Yan nonchalantly said, “Don’t laugh at me when you’re no better.”
As if he doesn’t get jealous at all.
At this time.
Upstairs in the room, Jing Xuan was enjoying her meal avidly.
She was really hungry, but she had to resort to this old method to threaten that jerk Lu Zhiyang!
Su He watched her and sighed silently, “Eat slowly, no one is competing with you.”
“I’m hungry.”
She mumbled with food in her mouth.
“Who told you to use fasting as a tactic?”
Jing Xuan swallowed the food in her mouth before saying: “If I hadn’t done that, this scumbag would have kept me imprisoned forever, and I definitely wouldn’t stand for that.
See, didn’t it bring you here?”
“Alright, alright, you eat first, we’ll talk after you finish.”
…
Ten minutes later, Jing Xuan finally finished eating and drinking to her heart’s content.
Su He pulled out a napkin and handed it to her, “Wipe the rice kernels from the corner of your mouth.”
Then, she asked, “Tell me, what’s the deal with the baby?”
Jing Xuan stuttered, “Half a month ago, we had a go.”
Su He of course understood what she meant by “had a go” – the description was simple yet crude.
Then she heard her say, “This scumbag did it on purpose, I explicitly told him not to do it inside, but he just had to!”
“But I took the pill afterward.
However, I felt something was not right that day and felt uncomfortable, so I secretly went for a checkup.”
Jing Xuan became more exasperated and felt an urge to curse as she spoke!
Su He didn’t know what to say after listening, “…”
“I can only say you are really lucky.”
However, Jing Xuan was worried about something else now, “Baobao, but I took the emergency pill, will the child be affected?”
She hadn’t had time to ask the doctor about this concern before Lu Zhiyang caught her red-handed.
Su He knew what she wanted to ask, “If you took the medicine within 72 hours, it’s highly likely there will be no effect and you can keep the baby, but you will need systematic prenatal care during the pregnancy.”
“Do you want to keep the child?”
Su He asked.
After all, this wasn’t the story she heard from Lu Zhiyang.
Jing Xuan took a deep breath and leaned back in the chair, her face filled with worry and indecision.
Su He knew what she was thinking just by looking at her expression.
“You’re not thinking of using this child as a reason for divorce, are you?”
At those words, Jing Xuan’s beautiful almond eyes flickered, and a meaningful smile appeared on her delicate face.
“Nobody knows me better than you, Baobao.”
“He desperately wants to keep the child, but I certainly do not want to keep it unless he agrees to process our divorce.”
After she finished speaking, Su He raised her eyebrows and asked, “What if he doesn’t agree?
Would you really terminate it?”
Jing Xuan paused, apparently contemplating the question.
Biting her red lips, her face showed indecision.
Then, Su He heard her say, “There’s nothing to regret, right now it’s just a cell, and he and I have no emotional bond to speak of.”
Su He was slightly startled; she knew Jing Xuan too well.
If she had resolved to say this, perhaps she truly wanted to break free from Lu Zhiyang.
Following that, Jing Xuan looked at her, blinked, and said, “Besides, I still have you, right?”
Su He: “…”
Half an hour later.
“No, you have to stay here!”
Lu Zhiyang was adamant in his expression.
But the next second, he added, “You can leave, but let me move into your house.”
Jing Xuan: “…”
Dog!
Too dog-like!
Absolutely shameless!
She had never seen anyone so devoid of shame!
Letting him stay in the Jing Family Mansion was impossible.
At the same time, she didn’t want her mother to know about Lu Zhiyang’s existence.
“Baobao.” At this moment, she turned her head to look at Su He, saying, “I want to stay at your place.”
Su He nodded in response, “Mhm.”
Su He had no objections, she didn’t mind wherever Jing Xuan wanted to stay.
As for Jiang Yan’s opinion, if she had none, he of course wouldn’t either.
Lu Zhiyang’s expression darkened, then he turned to look at Jiang Yan.
The man glanced at him, then straightforwardly said, “Don’t ask me if you can also stay at my house, ask my wife.”
The man had the demeanor of “my wife has the highest authority at home” and “I only listen to my wife,” instantly blocking Lu Zhiyang’s words in his throat.
“…”
Su He also said at this time: “Sorry, President Lu, my house has limited guest rooms.
Don’t worry, after I take Xiaxia away, I will take good care of her.
After all, she is also very important to me, probably just as important as she is in your heart.”
Moon Gift Villa is so big, and she tells him there are limited rooms?
She can only fool children with that kind of talk, does she think he’s a fool?
It’s clear that Su He is siding with Jing Xuan.
For a moment, he regretted asking Su He for help!
The help is given.
But this is… damn, she’s planning to take his person away, how could he agree to that!
Lu Zhiyang glanced at Jiang Yan, who seemed indifferent to the situation, his eyes seemed to say: “Control your people!”
Jiang Yan looked back at him calmly, “Can’t control them.”
“…”
Five minutes later.
Jing Xuan left Liwan Villa following Su He.
Before leaving, Jing Xuan even smugly curled up her lips at the man as if she was bragging.
Lu Zhiyang didn’t know if he was angry or helpless?
In any case, there was nothing he could do about her.
The next day.
Outside Moon Gift Villa, early in the morning when the sky was still dim, someone had already arrived.
It was fortunate that Uncle Zhong and others got up early, otherwise, no one would have been there to open the door for him.
Since the host family had not yet woken up, Uncle Zhong let him wait in the living room.
Since he was an old acquaintance, Uncle Zhong said, “President Lu, make yourself at home, I’ll get busy now.”
After speaking, Uncle Zhong turned and went to carry on with his duties.
When Su He and Jiang Yan came down, seeing him sitting in the living room was no surprise; it would be a surprise if Lu Zhiyang didn’t come.
Su Yimo looked at him and obediently greeted: “Uncle Lu, good morning, you’re early.”
Lu Zhiyang responded: “Hmm, morning.”
He was still relatively gentle with children, at least not as serious and indifferent as usual.
“Did you have breakfast, Uncle Lu?”
The little guy asked another question.
“No, waiting to have it with you all once you’re up.”
Lu Zhiyang said it matter-of-factly, without any hint of embarrassment.
Jiang Yan picked up the little guy, sat on the sofa, and then said to someone: “Is your family that poor that you can’t even lift the pot?”
Lu Zhiyang directly ignored the sarcasm in his words, shamelessly replied: “It’s your wife who took my wife away, I didn’t have the appetite to eat alone at home, so I came here.”
Jiang Yan coldly chuckled: “So it’s your own incompetence, unable to keep people, and now you blame us?”
Facing Jiang Yan’s mockery and sarcasm, Lu Zhiyang appeared indifferent; as long as he could see the person he wanted to see, it was enough for him.
After a while, when Jing Xuan still hadn’t come downstairs, he slightly frowned and was just about to go look for her.
At that moment, Su He timely spoke up: “She hasn’t been resting well these past few days, let her sleep a bit longer.”
Not resting well?
Lu Zhiyang, because of her words, forcibly stopped himself from getting up to go look for Jing Xuan.
So, these past few days, she’s been living with him, suffering from insomnia?
Su He observed Lu Zhiyang’s expression without betraying any emotion, but she did not say anything more.
Shortly after, Uncle Zhong reappeared, “Young Madam, Master, breakfast is ready.”
Su He looked towards Uncle Zhong, smiled slightly, and nodded, “Alright.”
Then, she got up, taking the lead with the little one towards the direction of the dining room.
At the dining table.
Lu Zhiyang was like a lonely man, sitting here purely for suffering.
Across from him, a family of three were eating joyously, while he himself seemed somewhat absent-minded, from time to time glancing toward the entrance of the dining room with the corner of his eyes.
But until the meal was over, that figure did not appear.
After Su He finished her breakfast, she went out, and Jiang Yan, who took her to work, also left, leaving Su Yimo at home to host Lu Zhiyang.
Meanwhile, Su He had just gotten into the car when she received a WeChat voice message from Jing Xuan.
“Su Baobao, is Mr.
Lu still there?”
Actually, she woke up early, just worried about encountering Lu Zhiyang, she decided to just stay in her room and not come out.
If that man asks, just let Su He say she’s still asleep.
Su He replied to her, “I’m out already, Baobao is at home, you can ask Baobao for help if needed.”
“And, avoiding him is not a solution, you have to come out to eat, right?”
After about ten seconds, Jing Xuan replied, “No, I’m not going out.
I don’t believe he can stay here all day!
In a while, I will ask Xixi to sneak some food up here for me.”
After hearing her voice message, Su He smiled helplessly, “Okay, as you wish, just don’t starve yourself.”
She wasn’t too worried about Jing Xuan starving, since Su Baobao was there, and that little one is quite caring.
…
When Su He just arrived at the office, Lan Yan entered.
“Boss, you have a surgery scheduled at nine o’clock this morning.”
“Okay, I know.”
Then, Lan Yan continued, “Another thing, Ella called you last night.
She said she called you, but you didn’t answer.
She asked me to remind you to call her back.”
Su He paused slightly while changing her clothes.
Seeing her expression, Lan Yan knew she had really forgotten.
This morning when Su He checked her phone, she did indeed see missed calls from Ella.
That’s because she forgot to bring her phone when she went out last night to find Jing Xuan.
When she came back, she went straight to shower and bed without looking at her phone.
Since there was no message from her, she thought it wasn’t anything important and planned to call her back when she had time, but then forgot again as soon as she went out.
“Okay, I know.
I’ll call her back in a bit.”
After changing her clothes, Su He then returned Ella’s call.
Although there is a time difference between overseas and here, she knew Ella would definitely pick up the call.
Soon, the call was connected.
At the same time, Ella’s slightly hoarse, groggy voice could be heard, as if she just woke up from sleep.
Indeed, that was the case.
“My dear, couldn’t you consider the time difference?
It’s still four in the morning here.”
Su He: “…”
“Didn’t you ask Lan Yan to remind me to return your call?
Now is the only time I’m free, later I won’t be, until the afternoon.
I was worried you had something urgent, otherwise you’d nag again later.”
Ella said, “It’s not really a significant emergency, but you’ve had a few months of rest, isn’t it about time you visit the institute again?
Old Mr.
Yuan has been nagging in my ear, asking when you’ll come back; he doesn’t dare to bother you, so he came to bother me.
Also, Little Earl is experiencing intolerable effects from the previous medication, and we need to reconfigure a new drug, so you do need to come back when you have time.”
“Also, the SKL-003 inhibitor drug your team developed, Hu Yang has sent the clinical research data to your email.
Check it when you can, and if it’s all good, I will submit it for review to the relevant department, and I need your response by next Tuesday at the latest.”
Despite being wakened from sleep, her mind was still clear, she quickly highlighted the main points.
After she finished speaking, Su He responded with two words: “Okay, good.”
Ella said, “That’ll be all for now, I’m going back to sleep.” Then she added, “From now on, pretty lady, please consider my time zone when you return calls.
I will definitely take your calls, but unless it’s a life or death situation, you don’t need to rush in replying.
I’m hanging up, bye…”
–
In a blink of an eye, next Tuesday arrived.
That day was Old Mr.
Su’s seventy-third birthday.
Su He, after finishing work on Monday afternoon, went back to the Su Family of Beijing with Jiang Yan and Su Yimo.
When she got up in the morning, she found Sang Luo and Su Zhimian sitting in the Su family’s living room.
She greeted them and then sat on the sofa opposite them.
Hmm, those two together, they really matched well, both handsome and beautiful.
Sang Luo wasn’t stunning at first glance, but was very pleasant to look at, and seemed even more attractive the more you looked.
With distinct and delicate features, petite and exquisite, her clear, delicate demeanor shone through like twinkling almond-shaped eyes, her bone structure and skin adding to her beauty.
As for her brother, his appearance needed no comment.
He had been handsome since childhood, not the cold type, and appeared gentle and mild, but he was like that only with his close ones.
“How have you two been lately?”
Su He originally wanted to ask Sang Luo, since she was here, then who would pick up Xuanxuan from the kindergarten, but the time and place weren’t right, so she changed the question.
Last time Sang Luo mentioned she had declined her brother’s offer to get back together, but now both appeared at their grandfather’s birthday celebration, so…
Sang Luo hesitated a moment, and before she could answer Su He, Su Zhimian spoke, “Pretty good.”
Really?
Su He looked doubtfully at the two.
Why did she feel like her brother was acting a bit off, like a cat that got the cream?
Although it wasn’t obvious, after all, they had grown up together, she knew Su Zhimian a bit better than others.
At that moment, Sang Luo glanced at her and shook her head slightly.
Su He: ?
