She deliberately left her words unfinished, then frowned in pain and said, "I, my stomach, my stomach hurts so much... Will the fetus be affected, will the child, will the child be lost..."
"No, no," Xie Zhendong couldn't afford to care about anything else and immediately called an ambulance.
At this moment, he was more nervous than anyone. The hope he had finally waited for could not be dashed like this!
...
Xie Huibing returned to the Xie family with her mother. Her mother's expression was very gloomy all the way, and she dared not speak.
As soon as they arrived at the Xie family, she personally changed her mother's slippers and returned her bag to her mother, saying anxiously, "Mom, don't be impulsive. If you really divorce Dad, you'll fall right into that woman's trap."
Feng Rou angrily threw her bag onto the sofa, "Stop talking, shut up! It was your terrible idea, and now you've completely angered your father! If I hadn't proposed divorce first, he wouldn't know how he would deal with me!"
"So you don't really want to divorce Dad?"
"Of course not," Feng Rou also said angrily, "I thought you had improved over the years, but I didn't expect you to still be so stupid. Forget it, you can't help me with this. Let me think about it myself."
Xie Huibing really didn't expect Zhan Jiayi to be so difficult to deal with. She thought that since she was young and beautiful, she could easily achieve her goals, as if the Xie family members were all vegetarians.
She had underestimated Zhan Jiayi and wanted to solve the matter in the most direct and simple way to show off in front of her mother, so that her husband Bai Chengyi could help her father manage the Xie Group.
"Mom, I'm leaving. Dad will come back and make a scene with you, and you won't even have anyone to help you."
She had been slapped by her father for this matter and was also blamed by her mother. She was unwilling to go back like this.
"If you spend all your time with me, won't your in-laws and husband say anything?" Feng Rou just wanted to be alone. She had only said she wanted a divorce from Xie Zhendong to save some face.
"What's there to say about me returning to my maiden home? My husband and in-laws are not like my eldest sister's family." Xie Huibing said, then thought of something and said, "Right, there's one more person who can help you."
"Who?"
"Grandma, let Grandma know about this. She will definitely come forward to stop my dad," Xie Huibing said.
"Yes." But Feng Rou's expression dimmed again and said, "But the old lady has already fallen ill in the hospital. If she finds out about this, can she bear it?"
"Grandma will definitely not agree with my dad's actions. If we don't tell her now, she will find out sooner or later."
Feng Rou thought so, but she was really tired today and wanted to be alone. She said to her, "Okay, I know. You can go back first."
Xie Huibing said "oh" and prepared to leave her maiden home.
Feng Rou thought of something and asked her, "Has the Bai family encountered any problems in business recently? How is Chengyi?"
"It should be fine. Chengyi is still the same, busy every day," Xie Huibing said.
"I heard before that the Bai family's old store is not doing well. Can they still operate?" Feng Rou thought that her second daughter was so active in her maiden family's affairs, perhaps she hoped that the Xie Group could help the Bai family.
Xie Huibing saw that her in-laws and Chengyi had been looking worried recently, and knew that the Bai family's business had problems, but she didn't know the specific situation.
"It's not that bad, is it?" She took the opportunity to test her mother, "Mom, if Chengyi's business really has problems, can you help him?"
"I will definitely help you. Let Chengyi tell me if there's anything. You can rest assured about this." Although Feng Rou favored men over women, she would not ignore her own daughter if she was really in trouble.
"Thank you, Mom." Xie Huibing felt a little more at ease knowing Feng Rou's attitude, so she went back first.
Feng Rou looked at her retreating back and roughly understood what she was thinking. However, since Qining was not at home, she really needed some help.
It would be good if her daughter and son-in-law could help her, but she had to guard against her son-in-law. But no matter what, her son-in-law was still better than an illegitimate child from outside.
...
After Xie Zhendong took Zhan Jiayi to the hospital, the doctor examined Zhan Jiayi, and the child in her womb was all normal.
However, Xie Zhendong was still worried and asked Zhan Jiayi to stay in the hospital to rest. Two nannies took care of her in the hospital.
After this incident, he also thought that Feng Rou would definitely not give up the ownership of the apartment. It would be better to buy a new house in Zhan Jiayi's name, so that it would have nothing to do with Feng Rou.
Then she would have no excuse to trouble Zhan Jiayi with the house.
Therefore, before he could buy a suitable new house, he had to place her in a safe place.
The next day, Xie Zhendong was still by the hospital. He thought that although the child in Zhan Jiayi's womb was fine, he was afraid she would be frightened and her emotions had not recovered, so he stayed with her longer.
Zhan Jiayi had never been so cared for and doted on since she was young. She knew that Xie Zhendong was doing it for the child in her womb, but she was still moved.
From the time she was sensible, she knew that the family environment was not good. Her parents came from remote rural areas to work in the big city. They couldn't earn much money, but they took the risk of having another child to give her a younger brother.
When her parents were busy working, she had to study, do all the housework, and take care of her young brother.
So she had been working hard to change her destiny.
When she was young, she only knew that excellent grades could change her destiny, so she studied desperately. Throughout school, she relied on scholarships and her own work-study program.
In college, she found that some girls from poor families, like her, could live very well without relying on grades, but by dating rich boyfriends.
Her values also quietly changed. She looked down on those rich second generations and wanted truly capable men, relying on top tycoons to make herself a wealthy person.
She relied on her own efforts to stand out from many competitors and became Shu Zhongze's assistant.
At first, she didn't dare to think of having a closer relationship with Shu Zhongze beyond work. But later, she finally found an opportunity to cross that red line, thinking that all her wishes could be realized.
Reality gave her the cruelest blow, making her depressed for a long time. She was originally going to muddle along and give up.
Unexpectedly, fate gave her another chance, and she was also clear about how to seize this opportunity.
And Xie Zhendong hitting his own daughter for her and not giving his wife any face really moved her.
She knew how cold Shu Zhongze was to her for a daughter he had only recognized later when she was with him. The huge difference in their situations was incomparable.
"Why are you looking at me like this?" Xie Zhendong sat beside her, peeling an apple, and found that she had been staring at him.
Zhan Jiayi said with a smile, "Zhendong, hurry to the group. I'm fine. Staying here with me will greatly delay your work."
"I've worked hard for the Xie Group my whole life, can't I be lazy once in a while?" Xie Zhendong handed her the peeled apple.
