Chapter 321: Chapter 321: Exceeding Pregnancy Term

The next day, when An Ge woke up, Huo Shaoyan was no longer in the hospital room.

He had gone out early in the morning to meet Xiao Chaofeng and discuss the Qin family massacre from years ago.

The words spoken by Gu Changfeng’s subordinate last night had led Huo Shaoyan to suspect that the Qin family’s tragedy might have been a political conspiracy.

If this were truly a political conspiracy, the people involved in the case would likely be incredibly complex.

Thus, Huo Shaoyan needed to talk to Xiao Chaofeng about it.

When An Ge woke up at nine in the morning, she didn’t see Huo Shaoyan and didn’t inquire about his whereabouts.

After getting up, washing, and finishing the breakfast Nanny Lin brought her, she gave Gu Ru Yi a call.

At that moment, Gu Ru Yi had just woken up as well, but she’d been jolted awake by a basin of cold water.

The person who splashed her was Gu Qinghuan.

Despite being drenched, Gu Ru Yi didn’t immediately erupt in anger.

She leisurely lifted the covers to get out of bed, picked up her phone, and went to the bathroom.

While pulling a large hotel towel off the rack to wipe herself down, she answered An Ge’s call, "Hello?"

An Ge had no idea what was happening on Gu Ru Yi’s end, nor did she hear any emotional fluctuation in her voice.

So, as soon as Gu Ru Yi finished speaking, An Ge said:

"I’ve verified it. Gu Changfeng doesn’t have the crescent-shaped birthmark you mentioned on his waist."

She paused.

"But his whole waist is covered in scars. Judging solely from the scars, I can only tell that the injuries must have been extremely severe at the time. I just can’t determine what caused them..."

Gu Ru Yi pondered for a moment and said:

"Back then, Qin Jingzhi’s entire spine was crushed by a beam. I saw that his waist and lower body, though connected,

were essentially broken in two... So, I think the possibility you’re suggesting doesn’t exist. Gu Changfeng couldn’t possibly be Qin Jingzhi..."

An Ge pursed her lips and said:

"Perhaps. Perhaps the boy whose spine was crushed under the beam was indeed Qin Jingzhi."

She paused again and asked Gu Ru Yi,

"Has Lu Huai’an come to find you yet?"

Gu Ru Yi replied, "I was partying too hard at a nightclub last night, and he was the one who brought me back to the hotel."

But after being splashed awake by Gu Qinghuan, she hadn’t seen Lu Huai’an since.

Of course, Gu Ru Yi didn’t plan to share all of this with An Ge.

She told An Ge:

"I can tell you’re very invested in the Qin family massacre. There’s something I think I should tell you—it might help you."

Upon hearing this, An Ge hurriedly asked, "What is it?"

Gu Ru Yi said:

"Back then, I saw Mr. An at the scene of the Qin family tragedy. He seemed to have taken a baby from the scene...

I later did some digging and found out that the baby was the hundred-day-old son of Qin family’s eldest brother..."

She paused.

"It’s said that the baby ultimately couldn’t be saved and died. As for whether this really happened or not, I... can’t say for sure."

An Ge was stunned for a long time by Gu Ru Yi’s words before she finally said, "Alright, thank you for providing me with this lead."

Gu Ru Yi replied, "No problem."

Just as Gu Ru Yi finished speaking, Gu Qinghuan kicked the bathroom door open.

Gu Qinghuan was stunningly beautiful, even when she was furious.

With fire blazing in her eyes, she screamed at Gu Ru Yi: "Gu Ru Yi, why are you so shameless? Why do you have to steal my man? Why..."

Her voice broke with rage, so loud that even An Ge on the other end of the call could hear it.

An Ge realized Gu Ru Yi had a situation on her hands and said to her, "Why don’t you deal with that first?"

Gu Ru Yi gave a quick response, "Alright, let’s talk later."

After ending the call with An Ge, Gu Ru Yi coldly glanced at Gu Qinghuan and said:

"I am Mrs. Lu, Lu Huai’an’s lawful wife. If we’re talking about who’s being disgraceful, you should know better than anyone!"

Almost as soon as Gu Ru Yi finished speaking, Gu Qinghuan raised her hand to slap her across the face.

Gu Ru Yi didn’t avoid it.

Because she saw Lu Huai’an walking in through the door with breakfast.

Gu Qinghuan’s slap was extremely forceful, directly perforating Gu Ru Yi’s eardrum.

Gu Ru Yi let out a painful scream, sweat pouring from her face.

Seeing this, Lu Huai’an quickly strode over and reprimanded Gu Qinghuan in a chilly tone:

"Gu Qinghuan, what is wrong with you?"

Hearing this, Gu Qinghuan grew even more enraged.

She had never expected that one day Lu Huai’an would defend Gu Ru Yi, someone she considered no match for her.

Watching Lu Huai’an approach only to tend to Gu Ru Yi, Gu Qinghuan emotionally lost control and questioned him:

"Tell me—were you with her last night? Did you sleep with her last night?"

Before Lu Huai’an could answer, Gu Ru Yi, enduring the agony of her perforated eardrum, coldly said:

"Yes, Chairman Lu and I were perfectly in sync last night. We did it more than once, and it got quite intense. I didn’t take any birth control pills afterward either, so if we’re lucky, maybe I’ll get pregnant."

Gu Qinghuan was utterly stunned.

The mix of fury, grievance, hatred, and sheer humiliation overwhelmed her.

In her extreme emotional state, Gu Qinghuan blacked out and fainted on the spot.

Lu Huai’an instinctively reached out to catch her and, in the next moment, carried her out in his arms.

As Gu Ru Yi watched his retreating figure, she laughed bitterly through tear-soaked eyes, suppressing the pain in her ear.

After zoning out in the bathroom for a long while, she finally called her secretary and instructed, "Come over. I need to go to the hospital."

Meanwhile, An Ge, after finishing her breakfast, took a stroll in the hospital’s garden accompanied by Nanny Lin.

Aside from Nanny Lin, two bodyguards followed her from behind.

These bodyguards were assigned by Huo Shaoyan.

The weather was humid and hot, and after walking for a while, An Ge was drenched in sweat.

Still, she didn’t plan to head back to the air-conditioned rooms.

She had a constitution that benefited from sweating; it helped her detox and rid her body of dampness, which was no bad thing.

After about half an hour of wandering the garden, An Ge decided to return.

But she couldn’t shake the feeling that somewhere out of sight, someone was watching her.

When she looked in the direction of her suspicions, all she saw were doctors, nurses, and other patients strolling around—no one appeared out of place.

An Ge thought she was just being overly sensitive and let the matter go.

As she and Nanny Lin left the garden to return to the hospital building, a man in janitor’s uniform emerged from behind a trash can.

This man was none other than Lee Dahai, who was waiting for an opportunity to assassinate An Ge.

Unfortunately, he hadn’t found it yet.

Lee Dahai withdrew his gaze from An Ge’s distant figure and dialed An Muxin’s number,

"Ms. An, you have to find a way to get her alone. Otherwise, I have zero chance to act!"

An Muxin responded irritably:

"Lee Dahai, I’ve already paid you twenty million and arranged Bai Mei’s fake death, sending her abroad. Now you’re telling me you can’t even touch that wretched An Ge?"

Lee Dahai said, "There are too many people protecting her. I have no opportunity to strike."

An Muxin took a deep breath and, after thinking it over, said, "Wait for my instructions."

Ending the call with Lee Dahai, An Muxin summoned Cui Zhu,

"Do you have any ideas on how to get An Ge alone?"

Cui Zhu thought for a moment and replied:

"An Ge cares about her children the most. If you really want to get rid of her, you can focus on her kids."

An Muxin found Cui Zhu’s suggestion promising, but considering her current situation, even Fu Rou didn’t bother to see her, let alone An Ge’s kids.

As An Muxin mulled it over, she decided to target Fu Rou first.

With this plan in mind, she dialed Fu Rou’s number.

At first, Fu Rou didn’t want to answer, but after hesitating—thinking of the fact that An Muxin was pregnant with her eldest grandson—she ultimately picked up.

Her tone, however, was cold, "What do you want?"

An Muxin felt slighted and a little annoyed at this unkind reception.

But given her situation, she forced herself to remain calm.

She said, "Aunt Fu, I’m planning to go to the hospital for my prenatal checkup today..."

Her voice carried grievance and hesitation,

"Even though Brother Yan doesn’t want me or our child anymore, you are the baby’s grandmother. I was wondering if you’d like to come to the hospital and see the ultrasound.

After this checkup, I’ll be leaving for the Imperial City with Grandma and my elder brother. They plan to send me abroad afterward.

In the future, it may be hard for us to meet again. Perhaps this will be your last chance to meet your grandchild."

Fu Rou, hearing this, couldn’t remain indifferent.

After all, why should a child suffer due to the mistakes of the adults?

How innocent is a child? Especially an unborn one?

Thus, Fu Rou quickly responded to An Muxin, "I happen to be going to the hospital to visit An Ge today. Come find me once you arrive."

An Muxin considered it and then said to Fu Rou:

"You... plan on seeing An Ge? But I’m afraid she wouldn’t want to see you. However, if you brought the child with you..."

Fu Rou interrupted her, "Of course I know she wouldn’t. That’s why I’m bringing Huaisang."

Fu Rou had wanted to bring Huo Chenghuan as well, but since he refused to acknowledge her as his grandmother, she settled for Huo Huaisang.

After ending the call with An Muxin, Fu Rou called An Ge.

Initially, An Ge refused to answer.

So Fu Rou sent her a text, informing her that she’d be coming to see her in about an hour, bringing Huo Huaisang along.

Upon reading the text, An Ge picked up when Fu Rou called again.

Fu Rou got straight to the point:

"An Ge, I don’t expect you to forgive the harm I caused you before, but can we not let conflicts between adults affect the children?

Huaisang was raised by me, and Huanhuan was brought up by you. They are both the loves of our lives.

Can we turn hostility into harmony, and could you give me a chance to apologize to you? I beg you, is that okay?"

An Ge smirked faintly and said, "Beg me? How do you plan to beg?"
