Chapter 406: Chapter 410 Pen Fairy (9)

After dinner, Cheng Bin received a call and hurriedly left.

Shu Ya also felt sorry for her husband and couldn’t help but think, should she call the uncles in the company to ask them to support him a bit, at least to make Cheng Bin less tired?

While thinking about this, she held her phone and walked to the window, where the glass reflected her haggard and pale face. Her cheeks, once somewhat plump, had hollowed out, her well-maintained appearance had aged rapidly in a short time.

Perhaps, she should make an appointment with her skin care specialist.

Shu Ya thought about various things messily while fiddling with her phone absentmindedly.

She hadn’t finished dialing the phone number when her peripheral vision suddenly caught something, and her fingers stilled.

The phone dropped to the ground with a "thud."

Shu Ya didn’t care that the expensive phone’s screen had shattered; she stared fixedly at the reflection in the glass window.

A chubby, adorable baby was smiling sweetly at her.

She turned around sharply to look behind her; there was nothing there, but the image of Little Treasure on the glass was very clear.

So clear that she rubbed her eyes several times, but it didn’t disappear.

Little Treasure’s familiar eyebrows and eyes looked exactly like the child she saw in her dreams.

He looked a lot like her father, who had passed away.

"Baby, are you coming back to see Mommy?" Shu Ya covered her mouth, choking back tears.

The baby in the glass mirror smiled sweetly and cooed a few times as if responding to Shu Ya.

------------------

"Baby, this was taken when you were still in Mommy’s belly, you always kicked my belly, so naughty."

Shu Ya spoke to the air with a joyful smile, her fingertips gliding across the phone screen as if she were talking to someone beside her.

At that moment, her face showed no trace of gloom, filled instead with joy and happiness.

The nurse who came to deliver medicine to the VIP room pushed the door open and saw such a bizarre scene.

"Mrs. Cheng, you....." The surprise was evident on the nurse’s face.

Seeing the newcomer, Shu Ya’s face fell, losing her previous amiability.

"Remember to knock next time you enter."

After speaking, Shu Ya put down the phone, turned around, laid down on the bed signaling that she wanted to rest, and indicated to the nurse to leave the medicine and leave.

As soon as the nurse left, Shu Ya immediately got up from the bed, picked up the phone, and opened the gallery, muttering to the air beside her.

"These are your grandparents, they loved me the most. If they hadn’t passed away, they would have loved you even more than me."

"This is your daddy....."

"Snap," the phone appeared to be knocked over by some unseen force.

Shu Ya was startled for a moment, then soothingly said gently, "Baby, you should not be naughty, do you not like Daddy?"

"You shouldn’t, if Daddy knew you existed, he would definitely love you too. Later, let’s give Daddy a surprise, okay?"

The nurse outside the sickroom door, after closing it, didn’t immediately leave but stood outside quietly listening for a while.

She vaguely heard Mrs. Cheng talking to someone.

Yet, inside the room, besides Mrs. Cheng, she saw no one else.

Small Nurse: "....."

She turned around and followed the instructions, calling Mr. Cheng.

"The lady’s condition seems to be getting worse; maybe it would be good to book her a psychologist?"

Cheng Bin, frazzled, shook off the hand of a frail woman in front of him, "I warn you, do not do anything unnecessary, or I will not let you off."

The girl, delicate as a white flower, suddenly shed her frail nature and, with an unusually tough demeanor, crossed her arms and sneered, "How do you intend not to let me go?"

"I never thought you could be so heartless, after all, we did have a past... It was you who wronged me first."

Cheng Bin asked, "What do you want?"

"I want half of the shares in Shu Group."

Cheng Bin, gnashing his teeth with hatred, said, "Don’t even think about it, those belong to Shu Ya."

The woman mocked, "Now you pretend to be devoted. Others may not know, but I do. Your meeting with Shu Ya was the result of your meticulous planning. I’m afraid Shu Ya’s company has long been in other hands—a fool who still thinks your love for her is genuine."

Cheng Bin’s face grew uglier with the woman’s words.

As if to add insult to injury, the woman dropped another bombshell, "Shu Ya would never guess that the child she struggled to give birth to was sold by her own bedside companion."

"Even a tiger doesn’t eat its cubs, your cruelty is beyond my imagination..." The woman clicked her tongue meaningfully, as if in lamentation and mockery.

Cheng Bin clenched his fists, barely able to contain himself, "You know the truth, why..."

"Why didn’t I tell you? But why should I tell you?"

"It was you who abandoned me first."

The woman suddenly burst into loud laughter, tears streaming down her face.

"You couldn’t have really fallen for Shu Ya, could you, after the terrible things you’ve done to her?"

The look on Cheng Bin’s face confirmed her guess.

The woman laughed even more wildly, "If your wife knew that the child wasn’t really sick, but only..."

"You dare!" Cheng Bin’s frantic demeanor frightened the woman, making her step back several times, her eyes warily fixed on him as if anticipating he might do something desperate.

She felt a bit regretful now; she shouldn’t have provoked Cheng Bin so much, just in case he acted recklessly.

No one knew his ruthlessness better than she did.

Cheng Bin’s sinister appearance was terrifying, as if he was about to harm someone at any moment.

The increasingly tense and claustrophobic atmosphere was interrupted by a distinctive ringtone from a cell phone.

Cheng Bin quickly answered it, listening to the nurse’s advice on the other end. His face revealed a bitter remorse and pained affection.

"Don’t show up in front of Shu Ya, I’ll give you what you want, otherwise..."

Once Cheng Bin hurried away anxiously, the woman’s tense body finally relaxed.

Cheng Bin’s presence had put immense pressure on her, but soon she cheered up again.

Getting a substantial fortune wasn’t bad.

Such a man, with an extreme shift towards the poles, was not her cup of tea. She couldn’t help but feel sympathetic towards Shu Ya, who was loved by this man.

To be hated by him was a disaster, and to be loved by him, likewise, a disaster.

-------------------------------------

After a delay of a few days, she returned to Mingrui University and surprisingly did not find Nangong Dao in the dormitory.

Su Li checked his usual haunts but didn’t find him there either.

She asked a few of the campus ghosts who still possessed Spiritual Wisdom and found out that the unlucky ghost had left campus the day after she had, and hadn’t been back for two days.

What he was doing, even these little ghosts didn’t know.

Su Li suddenly had a bad feeling; she checked all the artificial lakes on campus.

Memory of the original owner told her that Nangong Dao had gained his opportunity by possessing a male student who had drowned in a pond.

But exactly when and which pond this had occurred was unclear.

At that time, she was following a few young girls, trying hard to practice the spells that could break the contract that bound her, intending to show those girls a lesson, her mind hardly on anything else.
