Disheartened, I Fled from the CEO with Our Babies
Chapter 441 Jealousy

Chapter 441: Chapter 441 Jealousy

Huo Shaoyan: "No rush, take your time."

Paused for a few seconds and asked, "I heard the child is awake? How is he now?"

Huo Shaoyan was referring to Mo Yuan’s son Mo Rugu.

Mo Yuan spoke truthfully:

"The doctor said he still needs to stay in the ICU for three days. If there aren’t any major issues after that, he can be transferred to a regular ward."

Huo Shaoyan acknowledged, "Take good care of him."

Mo Yuan: "Alright."

"I’ve got work to do."

Mo Yuan nodded and quickly left with tact.

After that, Huo Shaoyan made a call to Jiang Fengmian, "How are things on your end?"

Jiang Fengmian had just changed Fu Huaijin’s medication, he responded, "Although Mr. Fu hasn’t woken up yet, all post-operative indicators are very stable."

Huo Shaoyan nodded, then said, "Once he’s out of danger, I need you to help me with something."

Jiang Fengmian raised an eyebrow, "Am I free?"

Huo Shaoyan said coldly, "We’ve been brothers for so long, I’ve never asked you for anything, consider this me asking you?"

Jiang Fengmian replied impatiently, "Speak."

Huo Shaoyan said, "I suspect there’s something shady going on with the people under me, I don’t trust them. I hope you go under the pretense of conducting medical research in M Continent, and personally help me investigate Mo Yuan’s pregnancy from six years ago."

After a pause, he emphasized,

"It’d be best if you could find out if cord blood was saved when she gave birth back then."

Jiang Fengmian: "Got it." After a few seconds, he said, "I heard An Ge has already left the Imperial City?"

Huo Shaoyan nodded, "She’s gone."

Jiang Fengmian scoffed, "You’ve really gone through a lot for her."

Huo Shaoyan sarcastically retorted, "Aren’t you the same?"

Jiang Fengmian: "I’m hanging up."

Jiang Fengmian hung up on Huo Shaoyan and walked out of Fu Huaijin’s ward.

It was already dinner time.

He planned to go home, take a hot shower, and then invite Jiang Qingyi for dinner.

However, after showering, Jiang Qingyi was nowhere to be found.

Jiang Fengmian called for the servant, after some inquiries, he found out Jiang Qingyi had left Yuxidu Villa two hours ago.

Upon learning this, Jiang Fengmian was very displeased.

He didn’t necessarily need Jiang Qingyi to hover under his nose to feel secure.

But, Jiang Qingyi leaving without a word was intolerable for Jiang Fengmian.

He decisively took out his phone and called Jiang Qingyi, although the call went through, no one answered.

Only on the third call did Jiang Qingyi finally pick up, "Hello..."

"Where the hell are you?"

Jiang Qingyi was quite afraid of him, she honestly confessed:

"My former mother-in-law said I left something important at her place and asked me to meet her. I’m having a meal with her at Global International now."

Former mother-in-law?

Jiang Fengmian quickly remembered that Jiang Qingyi’s former mother-in-law was none other than Tang Jiuze’s mother, Wen Qing.

In Jiang Fengmian’s memory, Wen Qing was an exceptionally greedy and outrageous woman.

Therefore, as soon as Jiang Qingyi finished her sentence, Jiang Fengmian sternly said,

"Get back here immediately. Don’t make me come to get you."

Jiang Qingyi had a crazy shopping desire.

Recently, it had been constantly restricted by Jiang Fengmian, her suppressed shopping desire was hard to control in the bustling mall.

She leisurely said, "I... I rarely get to come to the mall, you should at least let me browse, right?"

To achieve the browsing purpose, she eagerly said,

"I saw your tie styles are so few and repetitive, how about I buy a few for you when I go shopping later?"

But Jiang Fengmian still refused, "Come back right now."

Jiang Qingyi also got a bit worked up,

"Jiang Fengmian, can you stop being so domineering? Ever since being with you, I feel like a prisoner being controlled and restricted every day,

Right now, I not only have no social life, but even shopping is restricted by you. Don’t make me resent you just when I started feeling a bit fond of you."

The fondness Jiang Qingyi mentioned refers to Jiang Fengmian sucking the snake venom for her.

After she said this, she defiantly hung up the phone on Jiang Fengmian.

Afterward, she boldly added all of Jiang Fengmian’s social numbers to the blacklist.

After doing this, she finally looked up at her former mother-in-law Wen Qing, sitting across, and said,

"I’m done eating, I plan to go shopping later. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first."

Wen Qing smiled and said, "I’ve also finished eating. I’ve got an appointment with some dear friends nearby for a SPA; make sure to settle the bill later."

Previously, Jiang Qingyi would have easily paid the meal bill without a second thought.

However, now, she was strapped for cash.

Besides, Wen Qing had just ordered three very expensive bottles of red wine.

The weirdest part was that each bottle was opened, but not a sip was taken.

She initially wanted to drink it, but Wen Qing told her her elder brother might scold her if she drank, so she abstained.

Basically, three bottles of red wine, none tasted.

As Wen Qing packed up the three bottles of red wine to leave, Jiang Qingyi stopped her, "Wait."

Wen Qing was quite happy to have enjoyed a free meal without spending a dime while getting three expensive wines. However, she froze at Jiang Qingyi’s words and quickly asked,

"What’s the matter?"

Jiang Qingyi bluntly admitted, "You called me out just to mooch food and drinks, didn’t you?"

Wen Qing feigned innocence:

"Jiang Qingyi, saying such things really damages our relationship. I kindly brought you your favorite diary from before. As a senior, letting you treat me to a meal, what’s wrong with that?"

Jiang Qingyi rolled her eyes,

"Your three bottles of wine alone cost hundreds of thousands, in total you ate up fifty thousand, I don’t have money."

Wen Qing showed disbelief: "You are Ms. Jiang, how could you have no money?"

Jiang Qingyi sarcastically retorted, "You’re also the biological mother of the Tang Empire’s chief executive, why didn’t you treat me, a junior, to a meal?"

Wen Qing turned red and argued, "I... also don’t have money."

She was being unreasonable.

Jiang Qingyi’s eyes widened in disbelief, "How can you be like this?"

Wen Qing said, "Anyway, it doesn’t matter, you must pay the bill. Goodbye..."

After speaking, Wen Qing grabbed the red wine and bolted.

Jiang Qingyi was furious, unable to catch up.

Her anger was explosive.

"Miss Jiang, your total bill is 513,333 yuan and thirty-three cents..."

Jiang Qingyi’s face turned green with anger. She took a deep breath and said, "Well, I’m not done eating yet. I’ll settle the bill later."

Waiter: "Alright. Please enjoy."

Once the waiter stepped away, Jiang Qingyi tried calling An Ge for help, but An Ge was on a plane, and she couldn’t reach him.

Jiang Qingyi used to be especially spoiled, with particularly poor relationships. Plus, Jiang Fengmian had told everyone in their circle that whoever helped her would be defying him, so borrowing money became very difficult for Jiang Qingyi.

After contemplating for a long time, Jiang Qingyi shamelessly called Huo Shaoyan, "My dear cousin..."

Huo Shaoyan’s skin crawled at being called "darling."

He interrupted coldly, "Stop disgusting me. Speak, what do you want?"

Jiang Qingyi quickly explained the backstory to Huo Shaoyan and said,

"Do you think my former mother-in-law is unbelievably shameless? And so infuriating? How can such bizarre people exist in this world..."

"I won’t lend you money."

Huo Shaoyan rejected her.

Jiang Qingyi’s eyes widened, "Huo Shaoyan, you’re my cousin..."

Huo Shaoyan quickly justified,

"You were wrong to meet your former mother-in-law secretly from Jiang Fengmian. If I aid and abet, Jiang Fengmian will turn against me."

At this juncture, Huo Shaoyan definitely wouldn’t turn against Jiang Fengmian.

He said no more and quickly hung up on Jiang Qingyi.

Jiang Qingyi’s face turned black with rage.

Just when she was at a loss, her phone buzzed—it was her ex-husband Tang Jiuze calling.

After all, Tang Jiuze was once the husband she had loved, and despite her current amnesia, facing his handsome face still made her heart flutter.

Her feelings for Tang Jiuze... were quite complicated.

Her instinct was to avoid Tang Jiuze’s call, but she couldn’t help but answer it.

"Hello?"

The man’s voice quickly came through: "Did my mom contact you?"

Jiang Qingyi responded with a hum, told him what happened, and said,

"She... hasn’t settled the bill..."

After a pause, in a difficult-to-articulate tone, "I... I’m still in the restaurant, and I don’t have money either..."

Hearing this, Tang Jiuze chuckled lightly and said,

"So the Young Master Jiang is so stingy with women? He doesn’t even give you pocket money?"

Jiang Qingyi just wanted to leave. She didn’t want to be tossed in jail because she couldn’t pay, what a humiliation.

She covered her phone’s speaker, saying incredibly, "Can... can you lend me some money..."

"Where are you?"

Jiang Qingyi: "I’m at Global International."

"Wait ten minutes. I’ll be right there."

From these words, Jiang Qingyi understood that Tang Jiuze was coming to settle the bill.

As long as she didn’t have to pay, she was happy.

Jiang Qingyi said, "No rush, no rush, I’ll just wait for you."

...

On the other side, after hanging up with Jiang Qingyi, Huo Shaoyan called Jiang Fengmian.

In the call, Huo Shaoyan concisely told Jiang Fengmian, "Jiang Qingyi is at Global International."

Pausing, he hinted,

"Recently, Tang Jiuze has been hanging around the Imperial City. There’s a chance their old flame might rekindle and blossom anew."

Jiang Fengmian was already driving out from Yuxidu Villa.

Hearing Huo Shaoyan’s words, he naturally didn’t look cheerful, replied coldly with a hum, and said,

"I heard there’s some deep connection between Tang Jiuze and An Jifeng—is that true?"

Huo Shaoyan: "They’ve always been close privately."

Jiang Fengmian said, "That’s not what I meant."

Huo Shaoyan raised an eyebrow, "Then what is it?"

Jiang Fengmian: "I heard An Jifeng was gay, and he liked messing around with men."

Huo Shaoyan paused, sounding genuinely surprised, "I really didn’t know about that."

Paused again, "Anyway, whether he’s gay or not, it has nothing to do with me."

Jiang Fengmian hummed in agreement, casually mentioned,

"I remembered something—when the Qin family massacre happened, An Jifeng took away a baby boy."

Huo Shaoyan: "That child was Qin Jingmo’s son. It’s said, that boy has been raised at Huangjue Temple, and some say he died early. Why did you bring this up suddenly?"

Jiang Fengmian: "I was thinking, if An Jifeng is gay, could he have had a crush on Qin Jingmo back then?"

Huo Shaoyan coldly said, "Nonsense."

...

Two hours later.

An Ge’s plane landed safely.

She walked in front, Qin Ming helped her with the luggage, walking behind.

The two walked out of the airport one after another and quickly got into a black car that came to pick them up.

On the road from the Castle Manor, An Ge received a call from Jiang Qingyi,

"An An, SOS... Where are you? I got into trouble, you have to help me..."

Jiang Qingyi was a bit incoherent, leaving An Ge bewildered.

She told Jiang Qingyi, "Don’t rush, speak clearly, what’s the trouble you are facing?"

Jiang Qingyi’s voice choked with sobs, "I... I split open Jiang Fengmian’s head, he was taken away by an ambulance..."

An Ge was nervous just listening, "Why did you hit him?"

Jiang Qingyi cried so hard her nose was running, sobbed, "I had dinner with my former mother-in-law tonight, and she left me to foot the bill after the meal. The restaurant was exorbitant, and the bill was over half a million..."

An Ge rubbed her brows, "Get to the point."

Jiang Qingyi: "Oh. I didn’t have money, so my ex-husband, Tang Jiuze, paid. Then, to thank him,

I invited him to the café on the first floor. Then, Jiang Fengmian came over. And then he hit Tang Jiuze..."

An Ge roughly caught on to what happened, "So he hit Tang Jiuze, and then you hit him?"
