Chapter 104: Chapter 102: Another Prenatal Check-up

Qin Jianlan’s gaze fell on Tang Xi’s smooth wrist, as if to say, why aren’t you wearing the bracelet I gave you.

Tang Xi understood her meaning and responded with a gentle smile, "I am often in the operating room. What would I do if something expensive like this got bumped or scratched? I keep it in my bedside drawer, safely stored away."

After all, Qin Jianlan had surgery not long ago and was very weak, falling asleep after a little while.

Tang Xi adjusted her blanket a bit before leaving.

No sooner had Tang Xi left than Fu Tingzhou received a message from his subordinate.

"Madam Fu went to visit Madame Qin and just left."

At this moment, Xu Ze knocked and entered, "Sir, the Zhang Family’s elder, Zhang Mingyuan has arrived... I had Song Lei take him to the conference room, but he insisted on seeing you directly, and his intentions do not look friendly..."

Fu Tingzhou snorted coldly and crossed his legs comfortably.

"Then let him in."

Before long, an elderly man in a Zhongshan suit, with greying hair and a stern face, walked in. He leaned on a cane with sharp eyes staring directly at Fu Tingzhou, accompanied by two men looking like bodyguards.

Zhang Mingyuan slammed his cane down hard, "How dare you, Fu Tingzhou! What grudge does my grandson have against you that you would ruthlessly nearly beat him to death!! He is still lying in the hospital bed, the doctors say his condition is critical!! He may never stand up ever again!!"

Facing Zhang Mingyuan’s thunderous rage, Fu Tingzhou appeared nonchalant, not taking it to heart, "Mr. Zhang, do you need me to arrange a doctor for Zhang Chen? I do know quite a few orthopedic specialists."

Zhang Mingyuan’s voice boomed, his chest heaving with anger, "You’ve caused my grandson such misery, and you still have the face to say such things! I came here today to demand an explanation!! Don’t think I am scared of you just because you are the heir to the Fu Family, I, Zhang Mingyuan, have never been afraid of anything!!"

Fu Tingzhou stood up, approached and said, "Zhang Chen insulted my wife, sparing his life was the greatest mercy I could offer. You come seeking a justification from me, yet I have not even approached you for one!"

"You!! You!! How would my grandson know you were married, and how would he know that woman is your wife!! You are just making excuses to intentionally assault my grandson!! I, Zhang Mingyuan, will not let you off!"

"Do you really think, Mr. Zhang, that allowing your grandson to recklessly insult young women is correct? Even if it were just an ordinary woman, is it right to casually humiliate and abuse her? You say you won’t let me go; well, here I am, Fu Tingzhou, what can you do to me!"

The man’s eyes dark as night, coldly swept over the old man, with a disdainful snort, "If it weren’t for he being your grandson, he wouldn’t just be lying in the ICU right now!"

"You!! You!!" Zhang Mingyuan was so upset he couldn’t catch his breath.

He nearly fainted, caught by the two bodyguards.

Fu Tingzhou coolly ordered, "Xu Ze, please escort these people out."

After they left, Fu Tingzhou rubbed his forehead, and his phone rang.

Su Mengshu’s gentle voice came through, "Tingzhou, my stomach suddenly hurts, can you come with me to the hospital, I’m really scared."

Fu Tingzhou frowned, "I’m on my way."

-

The two bodyguards carried the unconscious Zhang Mingyuan downstairs and into the car, where Zhang Mingyuan finally came to. With a breath barely catching, he trembled, "To the Fu Family!! I want to find Fu Yuanshan!!"

Upon reaching the Fu Family, Fu Yuanshan refused to meet with him.

Frustrated, Zhang Mingyuan collapsed directly onto the ground, and it was the security guards of the Fu Family villa who called an ambulance to take him away.

Tang Xi, wearing a mask and a hat, went to the third hospital for a pregnancy check-up.

"Alone? Why didn’t you bring your husband? Although it’s early in the pregnancy, and the situation is a bit complicated, you’ve been consistently anemic... Giving birth to this child might be dangerous for you. I recommend discussing with your husband whether to terminate the pregnancy, and wait until your health improves."

Tang Xi simply responded in a soft voice, "He’s very busy."

"No matter how busy he is, he should find time to accompany his wife," the doctor advised, prescribing some supplements.

Tang Xi adjusted her mask and hat, wrapping herself up tightly.

She was afraid of encountering classmates from university here, afraid of people learning about her pregnancy.

She feared unnecessary troubles.

She didn’t want any turmoil in her life at this moment.

"Tingzhou, my stomach doesn’t hurt much now.... Tingzhou, do you prefer a boy or a girl?"

The woman’s voice was gentle and sweet.

The man’s voice was cold and hoarse.

Around the corner, Tang Xi’s figure suddenly shuddered.

She turned around, her body leaning against the wall.

Tang Xi’s fingers clenched tightly, watching Fu Tingzhou and Su Mengshu sitting outside the consultation room on the waiting chairs, observing the concern in the man’s drooping eyes and Mengshu’s sweet smile.

Tang Xi felt suffocated, she gasped heavily.

Her heart suddenly ached.

It seemed like the doctor’s words echoed in her ears.

She reached out and touched her own abdomen.

Even if it’s dangerous, she wanted to keep this child....

This was her only relative now.

The only relative linked by blood.

She didn’t know who her biological parents were, only vaguely aware of her mother’s disgraceful past; she was born in prison, sent to the orphanage, and raised a little by Tang Jingyun before being adopted by the Su family.

Forced to give blood, living a humble life of begging.

This child, it was her only relative.

Leaning against the wall, Tang Xi slowly looked down.

She didn’t know what to do, her mind was in chaos, yet it was all filled with scenes of Fu Tingzhou embracing Su Mengshu just now.

She dared not even dream.

In her dreams, Fu Tingzhou was always harsh and cold, never so gentle....

Not knowing how much time had passed, Tang Xi moved, ready to leave.

Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a pair of men’s leather boots.

Her eyes trembled.

The air mixed with the scent of disinfectant, the faint smell of ebony was so familiar.

At that moment, she broke out in cold sweat, shaking all over.

She didn’t even dare to raise her head, quickly turning her body, trying to leave swiftly.

A hand easily caught her wrist.

The man’s strength was immense, and in an instant, she couldn’t break free.

The man removed her mask with one hand, Fu Tingzhou pinched her chin, "It really is you! What are you doing here!"

"This is a hospital, anyone can come, why can’t I!" Tang Xi struggled hard to break free from his grip, but the more she struggled, the harder he grasped her wrist.

She was scared, scared that he would find out she was pregnant.

Scared that he would find out that the abortion certificate wasn’t hers.

She was terrified, terrified that he would demand her to terminate the child!!

In that instant, Tang Xi struggled violently, suddenly lowering her head and biting into the man’s hand.
