Chapter 324: Chapter 324 [Second Update~] Still Lying!

Soon, Xiao Yi didn’t send a message but directly made a voice call instead.

Ye Zhenzhen handed the phone to Xiao Chen, "Here you go, it’s Uncle Xiao Yi’s call."

"Xiao Yi brother!" Xiao Chen excitedly called out, still using ’brother’.

He realized it himself and quickly corrected, "Uncle Xiao Yi!"

"Good boy, Xiao Chen!"

Xiao Yi’s voice, slightly lazy, came from the other end of the phone.

Shu Siyu’s eyes widened with excitement – that really was Xiao Yi’s voice!

He pursed his lips, not allowing himself to make a sound from the excitement.

"Uncle, I received your autographed photo, thank you! It’s just..." Xiao Chen’s tone carried a hint of regret.

Xiao Yi followed the little guy’s words, "You’re welcome, what about ’just’?"

As he asked this, Xiao Yi hid the call screen, clicked into his Moments to check, and saw that the photo of the persimmon he posted was still there from yesterday.

Thinking about Song Jinze’s demeanor last night at dinner, he wondered if it was possible that the other party hadn’t seen the Moments post?

"It’s nothing, it’s just that I wasn’t there when mom asked you for an autograph. I really want to meet you!" The little guy was thinking on his feet.

He felt he couldn’t let Uncle Xiao Yi know that the persimmons originally for him were taken away by his dad. And they weren’t really taken away; he had traded presents with his dad.

If Uncle Xiao Yi knew, he would think he wasn’t being sincere.

Xiao Yi was amused by the little rascal, "Want to see me? That’s easy, how about Uncle takes you and your mom out to dinner tonight?"

Xiao Chen shook his head, "Not tonight, this evening my good friend and my mom and I are going out for something delicious. Maybe next time, Uncle. Next time, can I treat you to something delicious?"

"Where are you guys planning to go?"

The little guy didn’t hesitate to respond, "Over by Jiang University."

"Okay, Uncle knows."

"Uncle, thank you! Let’s chat another time."

"Hmm, see you later."

The last thing Xiao Yi said, in a very soft voice, went unheard by the little guy. After hanging up the phone, he handed it back to Ye Zhenzhen, "Mom, next time you bring me along, can I treat Uncle Xiao Yi to a meal?"

Ye Zhenzhen nodded, "Sure, no problem."

Afterward, they would be in the same production crew, with many opportunities to meet. Whenever Xiao Chen wanted to see Xiao Yi, he could always go.

Shu Siyu tugged on Xiao Chen’s sleeve, "Xiao Chen, when you invite Uncle Xiao Yi to a meal next time, can you count me in? I can pay!"

After saying this, Shu Siyu took out two hundred-yuan bills from his backpack, "In addition to this money, I... I have a lot more money in my piggy bank at home. When you invite Uncle Xiao Yi next time, let me know, and I’ll bring more!"

Ye Zhenzhen was amused by the way Shu Siyu spoke and his actions. These little fellows were really interesting and quite wealthy too.

When she was their age, she had no concept of money and was very clueless about it.

Xiao Chen extended his little hand and patted Shu Siyu on the shoulder, "No need to be so formal, I have money too. Since you want to join me in treating Uncle Xiao Yi, I’ll call you up next time, alright?"

"Okay, thank you in advance!"

"You’re welcome!"

...

Private hospital.

Shen Zhaonan received a call from the hospital that afternoon, saying Han Jiangxue had been admitted. When the nurse made the first call, he didn’t want to come.

But after an hour, he received the same call again, this time from Han Jiangxue herself.

On the phone, Han Jiangxue said she was pregnant!

Upon hearing this news, Shen Zhaonan felt as if he had been hit on the head, his heart suddenly started pounding, not with joy, but with the sense that this was very troublesome!

This child’s timing couldn’t have been worse.

When he entered the ward, Han Jiangxue was lying in bed receiving an IV, her complexion deathly pale, disheveled, looking sickly and so haggard it was heartbreaking.

Shen Zhaonan frowned, looking at Han Jiangxue in this state, his heart didn’t stir much, and he sat down on the chair by the bed, staying silent.

Dong Yan had taken Yibo to the hospital for an examination in the morning and then called to scold him thoroughly; after scolding him, he found out that Yibo’s health was becoming more serious.

Dong Yan had also cursed Han Jiangxue thoroughly over the call.

As for who was to blame for all of this, it was the three adults involved; they all bore responsibility, as their intertwined causality had led to injury to Yibo, an innocent little fellow.

And now, within Han Jiangxue’s womb, there was yet another innocent life, and at the thought, Shen Zhaonan couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed, recognizing that the greatest fault lay with himself.

Han Jiangxue spoke weakly, "Ah Nan, you’ve come..."

As she spoke, tears uncontrollably streamed down her face, the grievances she had suffered over the past few days could not be contained upon seeing Shen Zhaonan...

Earlier, she had fainted in the Shen Family villa, and when a servant went to inform Madam Shen, Madam Shen didn’t come out to see her, instead directly ordering the servant to call the private hospital and have them pick her up.

Once her consciousness had somewhat returned, she had the nurse call Shen Zhaonan, but after a long wait, he didn’t show up, so she asked the nurse to use a cellphone to make a second call.

This time, she lied, claiming she was carrying his child.

If she didn’t say this, she felt Shen Zhaonan would never see her again in his life.

"You should get some rest!"

By now, Shen Zhaonan didn’t know what else to say, and any resolution had to wait until Han Jiangxue was discharged from the hospital.

As for the child inside her, whether to keep it or not, that was still up for discussion.

The nurse came in to change Han Jiangxue’s IV bag and, seeing Shen Zhaonan, mentioned, "Sir, when this bag of medicine is finished, remember to press the button next to it."

"Okay."

"Oh, and the results of the blood test just came in; nothing major, just that her blood sugar is very low. She will need to pay more attention to her diet in the future and can’t go without eating like this again."

The nurse was familiar with Han Jiangxue; she felt that current female celebrities would do anything to lose weight, even if it meant risking their health, and that starvation like this could cause problems.

Without much thought, Shen Zhaonan asked, "Nurse, would that affect the fetus in her stomach?"

Han Jiangxue’s facial expression stiffened, her heartbeat racing fiercely.

The nurse’s expression also turned into one of confusion and she said, "Mrs. Han isn’t pregnant. If she were, the doctor would have given us special instructions. Get some good rest, and once you’re better, there will be plenty of opportunities to have a child."

Being so thin and not eating, wanting a child wouldn’t be that easy.

After the nurse left the room, Shen Zhaonan felt an immense relief inside, and when he looked at Han Jiangxue again, his gaze was much colder than before.

"Han Jiangxue, even now, you’re still lying?"

Han Jiangxue: ...

Hearing what Shen Zhaonan said, her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. She thought that when Ah Nan came, he would hold and comfort her, coax her...
