Chapter 327
“What are you asking that for?” The nurse looked at Mrs. Gu.
Mrs. Gu smiled gently, “It’s like this, I’m a relative of the gentleman who just left, he has been running away for the last two days, his family is worried about him, it just so happens that I saw him here, so I asked him about his situation and told his family, so that his family can feel at ease.”
The nurse saw that Mrs. Gu was not a bad person and did not look like she was lying, so she lowered her guard and said “That gentleman’s wife had a miscarriage and he is here with his wife.”
“Miscarriage!” Mrs. Gu’s eyes widened.
The nurse frowned, “Madam, this is the inpatient department, please be quiet.”
“Sorry, I’m just so surprised.” Mrs. Gu forced a smile, the moment she turned around, her face was filled with shock.
Rongshu was actually pregnant with Jing Ting’s child?
When did she get pregnant?
Mrs. Gu gripped the thermos bucket carrying handle tightly, her heart thumping.
Thinking back to the Rong Shu she had seen in the past two days, her stomach had not changed much, so she thought that Rong Shu’s pregnancy must have been very small, definitely not more than three months.
If this is the case, then it is very likely that this child was conceived after Jing Ting and Rong Shu divorced and then cheated on each other!
If that was the case, then it would be really great, and the Gu family would have a reason to go to the Fu family to demand an explanation.
They had to know how much blank stares and ridicule their Gu family had suffered during this period of time because of Fu Jingting’s withdrawal.
Most importantly, all cooperation between the Sangsheng Group and the Fu Group had been severed, and the Sangsheng Group had fallen back to the bottom 20 in the city, and later, because of Mangyin’s plot to frame Rong Shu, it had even reached the point of going bankrupt at any time.
It could be said that all this was because of the Fu family’s withdrawal from the marriage. If they hadn’t withdrawn from the marriage, the cooperation wouldn’t have been cut off, and even if Mangyin had murdered and framed Rong Shu, Sangsheng wouldn’t be in such a precarious situation as it is now.
Therefore, she must let Yao Tian use Jing Ting’s cheating to restore the marriage contract between the Fu family and the Gu family. Even if the marriage contract cannot be restored, at least the cooperation between San Sheng and the Fu family must be restored.
Thinking like this, Madam Gu’s hands were trembling with excitement.
She hurriedly pulled a small nurse who was pa*sing by and spent two thousand yuan to have the nurse enquire about Rongshu’s pregnancy cycle.
Soon, the nurse’s news came through: Rongshu was less than three months pregnant.
Three months or less meant that the child in Rongshu’s belly was indeed born from Fu Jingting and Rongshu’s affair.
Mrs Gu excitedly called Gu Yaotian out, “Yaotian, I have good news for you!”
Gu Yaotian was still anxious about the funding, when the call came, it was also breathless, “What is it?”
Madam Gu told her what she had found out.
After hearing this, Gu Yaotian’s spirits immediately lifted and he stood up, “Is what you said true?”
“True.” Madam Gu nodded her head.
Gu Yaotian walked around the office excitedly, “Great, you find a way to get a copy of Rong Shu’s miscarriage report, then we’ll find a chance to go to the Fu family and take a trip.”
“Okay.” Mrs. Gu agreed.
The call ended, Mrs. Gu put down her phone and happily went back to Moman Yin’s ward.
Meanwhile, in Rong Shu’s ward.
Rongshu finished her congee and put the bowl on the bedside, when she suddenly saw the payment slip for the meal Fu Jingting had bought, and reached out to take it over.
Seeing the price of the meal on it, she picked up her mobile phone and transferred the amount to Fu Jingting as she had done.
After transferring it, she turned her phone off, not caring whether Fu Jingting would reply or not.
There was a knock on the door of the ward.
Rongshu raised her eyes to look at it, “Please come in.”
The door opened and Lu Qi and Li Chuan walked in, one holding flowers and the other carrying a fruit basket.
“Baby, we’ve come to see you.” Lu Qi smiled at Rong Shu with a mouthful of white teeth.
Li Chuan also smiled gently, “Sister.”
Seeing them, Rong Shu’s dreary mood improved and she smiled along, “You guys are here.”
“Here, do you like it?” Lu Qi handed the flowers to her.
Rongshu looked at the lilies in front of her and her eyes curled slightly, “Why bring these when you’re here, I’ll be discharged in the morning, it’s not like I’m staying for a long time.”
“No matter when we are discharged from the hospital, our thoughts are going to arrive.” Lu Qi put the flowers down next to him.
Li Chuan also put the fruit basket down, “Sister, want some fruit, I’ll go wash it.”
Rongshu looked to the fruit basket, “Wash some strawberries.”
“Okay.” Li Chuan unpacked the fruit basket, took out a box of strawberries and went to the kitchen.
This was a high-cla*s ward, the equivalent of a small two-room suite, with a separate kitchen balcony bathroom, very luxurious.
After Li Chuan left, Lu Qi pulled a chair over and sat down by Rong Shu’s bed, changing his frivolity from when he arrived to become serious, “Baby, what is going on, why did you suddenly change your mind about the operation at this time?”
He didn’t believe that there was nothing going on here.
In the kitchen, hearing Lu Qi’s question to Rong Shu, Li Chuan turned down the water a bit and washed the strawberries slower and gentler.
When Rong Shu thought of what Fu Jingting had said to herself earlier, that the people who had poisoned her were probably Lu Qi Cheng Huai and Xiao Chuan, the smile on her face gradually faded and her eyelids dropped, hiding the complex look inside, “It’s nothing, it was a fall that made her decide to operate now.”
“Is that so?” Lu Qi looked at her, obviously somewhat unconvinced.
Rong Shu nodded, “Of course, my foreign hospitals are all booked up, if it wasn’t for the sudden accident, how could I change my decision on the fly, I really did it because after I went back yesterday, I was in a bad mood and didn’t pay attention to the fall on my feet, and as a result, the baby fell out of the thing.”
As she said that, she slightly squinted her eyes and stared at Lu Qi without a trace, wanting to see how Lu Qi’s expression would change.
Because the person who had poisoned her must have known that the hospital would check out that she had been poisoned.
Then when she said so, the person who had poisoned her would feel strange in her heart, wondering why she had to hide that she had been poisoned, and then she would reveal the flaw inadvertently.
So Rong Shu was now completely testing Lu Qi, wanting to see if Lu Qi was the one who had administered the poison.
But after staring at Lu Qi for a while, she did not find anything wrong with him.
Rongshu then understood that the person who had poisoned him was not Lu Qi.
This made Rongshu breathe a sigh of relief.
Honestly, she really did not want it to be Lu Qi and Xiao Chuan, they were the only two people she trusted now, apart from her grandfather.
So the poisoner could be anyone, but not them, otherwise she would feel betrayed.
Now that Lu Qi’s suspicions are ruled out, there are only two people left, Xiaochuan and Cheng Huai.
Xiaochuan, don’t let me down!
Rongshu closed her eyes and silently prayed in her heart.
Lu Qi didn’t know what Rongshu was thinking and straightened the blanket for her, “Why are you so careless, even if you’re in a bad mood, you should still take care of yourself ah, by the way, how did you come to the hospital after your fall?”
“Yes sis, why didn’t you call me and Lu either?” Li Chuan came out of the kitchen after washing the strawberries and spoke up as well.
Rongshu looked at him, her eyes flickered for a moment, and quickly returned to their original colour, smiling embarra*sedly, “I called the ambulance directly, and I pa*sed out not long afterwards, so I didn’t have the chance to contact you guys, sorry ah, for making you guys worry.”
“No, my soul almost flew away when I found out you were in the hospital.” Lu Qi patted his chest in an exaggerated manner.
Li Chuan nodded along with him, “Me too.”
Rong Shu ruffled her hair, “I won’t do that again.”
“That’s more like it.” Lu Qi smiled anew.
Rongshu pointed to the drawer, “Ah Qi, help me open the first drawer.”
“Want to take something?” Lu Qi did as he was told and pulled open the drawer.
Chapter 328
Rong Shu’s eyes darkened slightly, “It’s my examination report, I’m not feeling well enough to take it, so I asked you to take it out for me for a while, the nurse will come over later to have a look at it.”
“In that case, I know.” Lu nodded, took out the examination report and handed it to her.
“Thanks.” Rongshu took it and then placed it on the side of her pillow.
Li Chuan looked at the examination report, his eyelids dropping, his eyes wondering what he was thinking.
“Right Ah Qi, please go to the hospital’s equipment department and apply for a wheelchair for me, after I’m discharged from the hospital tomorrow, I can’t have someone to support me all the time, it’s more convenient to have a wheelchair.” Rongshu said with a bitter smile.
Lu Qi naturally would not refuse her request and agreed, “Okay, I’ll go now, Li Chuan, you look after the baby.”
Li Chuan smiled and responded.
Lu Qi went out.
Rongshu lifted the blanket and extended her hand towards Li Chuan, “Xiao Chuan, help me up, I want to go to the bathroom.”
“I’ll carry you.” Li Chuan stretched out his hand and was about to carry her down.
If it was before, Rong Shu would not have refused.
But now ……
thinking about Fu Jingting saying that Xiaochuan and the others liked her, she had an indescribable strange feeling in her heart.
“No.” Rongshu shook her head and refused, “It’s not like I’m missing an arm or a leg and can’t move, why do I need you to carry me, just help me.”
“Alright.” A trace of regret flashed in Li Chuan’s eyes as he took her hand and carefully helped her out of bed and to the bathroom door.
“Sis, are you okay to be alone? Or else I’ll ask the caretaker to come in and help you.” Li Chuan looked at Rong Shu and said uneasily.
Rong Shu smiled, “Don’t think of me as so fragile, well, I’ll go in first.”
After saying that, she drew back her arm and went into the washroom holding on to the wall, closing the door behind her.
Li Chuan stared at the closed bathroom door for a few seconds, then suddenly his eyes narrowed and he turned towards the hospital bed, picking up the examination report that Rong Shu had just placed on the side of her pillow.
He wanted to see what was going on with this examination report, and why Sis didn’t know that she had been poisoned.
After all, on the hospital side, there was no way they couldn’t find out!
Just as Li Chuan was quickly checking the examination report, the bathroom door not far behind him was slowly opening.
Rongshu stood at the bathroom door, her hand gripping the door handle tightly, her eyes looking at him in a complicated manner.
Seemingly sensing the sight behind him, Li Chuan’s hand holding the examination report froze violently, then turned his head and met Rong Shu’s disappointed eyes.
Li Chuan’s heart instantly panicked, and his handsome face paled by a few points, “Sister ……”
The three of you, I could accept Cheng Huai’s poisoning because I didn’t have a good relationship with him in the first place, but I could only not accept you and A Qi’s poisoning, so when Fu Jingting said it could be you, I felt he was believing me. I thought he was talking out of his a*s.”
When she said this, her gaze fell on the examination report in his hand, “But I never thought that it was all right by Fu Jingting, the person who poisoned you was really you, and also you, who I thought, was the most innocent and cleanest.”
Li Chuan followed her movements and looked at his own hand, understanding what was going on, his pupils shrinking slightly, “Sister, you’re deliberately testing me?”
When Rongshu saw that he had reacted so quickly, she took a deep breath and walked to him holding the wall, “That’s right, I deliberately asked Ah Qi to bring out the examination report in order to test you, I also tested Ah Qi before, I deliberately told Ah Qi that I had fallen before I took the baby, if Ah Qi had poisoned himself, he would have wondered why I didn’t know I had been poisoned and would have definitely revealed the flaw, but Ah Qi didn’t, so I was sure he hadn’t poisoned it, then I had no choice but to test you.”
She looked at Li Chuan, “Similarly, what I said to Ah Qi was also said to you who was in the kitchen at that time, only that I couldn’t see your reaction at that time, that’s why I came up with the idea of using the test report to test you, if you had poisoned me, you would definitely try to find out whether the hospital had checked whether I was poisoned or not, so I sent Ah Qi away and excused myself to go to the washroom, deliberately creating an opportunity for you to check my test report, and as long as you read it, you’re the one who poisoned me.”
“…… “Li Chuan was silent.
A moment later, he put down the examination report in his hand, and the corners of his mouth pulled out an indescribable smile, “I thought I covered it up so well, but I didn’t expect that in the end, you still figured it out, sister.”
Although she was already sure that the person who had poisoned her was Li Chuan, hearing Li Chuan’s admission in person still made Rong Shu feel very uncomfortable in her heart.
She squeezed her palms and her eyes were mixed, “Xiaochuan, why did you do this? Do you know, the moment I saw you pick up the examination report, how cold I felt in my heart, how unbelievable I was, because you were always the gentle, kind and simple young grandmother in my heart, but ……”
“But now it turns out I’m not what you think I am right.” Li Chuan looked at her and cut off her words.
Rongshu’s mouth opened in acknowledgement.
Li Chuan lowered his head and his voice trailed off, “I’m sorry ah sister, for letting you down.”
Rongshu looked at him with this guilty look, and her heart felt a bit bad, “Why? Why on earth did you do that?”
She asked again.
Li Chuan lifted his head and stared at her stomach, “I did it for you, too.”
“For me?” Rongshu was filled with confusion.
Li Chuan nodded, “You keep saying that you want to get rid of this child, but it’s been three months and you haven’t acted, so ……”
“So you poisoned me to help me out?” Rongshu looked at him incredulously.
Li Chuan pursed his lips, “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with me doing that, it’s been three months and you haven’t aborted him, after a long time, you’ll only be more reluctant to abort him, so I can only do that.”
After hearing his words, Rong Shu only felt that her whole body was shocked, her expression was complicated, “Xiaochuan, why do you think that? This child, whether I abort it or not, is my business, not a reason for you to interfere, do you understand?”
Besides, she had never said that she would not abort it, and her thoughts had always been very firm about aborting this child.
It was just that she had been too busy recently and hadn’t acted on it.
Li Chuan clenched his fist, “I don’t understand, I just know that this child cannot be kept, his existence will only bring you trouble.”
When he said this, he was a little emotional, a little frantic, “Sis you know, being pregnant unmarried has never been a glamorous thing, if the outside world knew you were pregnant, you would definitely suffer from the outside world’s blank stares and ridicule, even the people in your group would look down on you, Sis, I’m doing this for your own good.”
“Are you doing it for my own good, or for your own sake.” Rongshu looked at Li Chuan as if he had changed, frowned, and said in a clear, cold and bland voice.
Li Chuan’s eyes were strange, “Sister, what do you mean by that?”
“It means that you are not really worried that I will be looked down upon by the outside world, but that you yourself cannot accept that I am pregnant with another man’s child, because you like me, so when you see that I have delayed aborting this child, you are desperate to poison me so that I have to abort this child immediately, am I right, Xiao Chuan!” Rong Shu’s body trembled slightly.
Li Chuan’s face changed dramatically, “Sister you …… how do you ……”
“How do you know you like me right?” Rong Shu pursed her lips.
