Shrugging, Gu Huiyuan spread her arms. “Since you don’t care, I’ll go and abort it now.”
Then, she turned around and left. After standing rooted to the spot for a moment, Guan Jing strode forward and grabbed her by the arm. “You’ve got to be kidding me, right?”
“Do you think a woman whose father has just died and whose brother has gone to jail is in the mood to make such a joke? The only thing I want to do is to avenge those who harmed them!” Gu Huiyuan enunciated each word slowly yet fiercely.
Guan Jing sneered. “Are all of your family members dead? You’re just a woman. Why must you be the one to avenge them?”
“Guan Jing!” Gu Huiyuan berated him.
Ignoring her, Guan Jing went on, “Because they still have a conscience and know right from wrong. You’re the only one who’s blinded by revenge.”
“You a**hole, Guan Jing!” Gu Huiyuan started throwing punches and kicks at him, not caring about how her actions made her look.
Guan Jin didn’t move and simply let her be, as he wouldn’t hit a woman, even though he really wanted to teach her a lesson.
Having listened to their conversation for so long, Lin Xinyan roughly understood what was going on. Instead of getting out of the car and exposing them, she called Zong Jinghao.
Meanwhile, in the private room.
Mr. Wang had been filled in on Lin Xinyan’s condition by the doctor who examined her. He had also read her medical reports and gathered experts in the relevant field for a discussion.
“In the case of your wife, it’d best that she gives birth at seven and a half months. If you’re worried about your baby’s health, she should be hospitalized so that her condition can be monitored every day. Depending on how things go, the delivery could be postponed to eight months at the latest.”
Zong Jinghao propped his forehead with one hand; he was not satisfied with such a plan.
“In fact, your wife is not suitable to have children anymore. This examination shows that her body is weak.” Mr. Wang leaned back on his chair. “For her safety, early delivery is the most conservative plan.”
Buzz buzz—
At this time, the phone in Zong Jinghao’s pocket rang. He took it out and glanced at the caller ID before he answered it.
“When will you be done with work?” Lin Xinyan asked.
“I’ll be out soon,” replied Zong Jinghao.
Lin Xinyan uttered a response before hanging up the phone.
Rising to his feet, Zong Jinghao thanked Mr. Wang for making a trip to see him and then excused himself. Mr. Wang replied, “No need to thank me. Your father and I are old friends. We will do our best, but this is all that we can do at present.”
Then, he took out a business card from his pocket and handed it over. “This is my long-time acquaintance who studied with me. He is now the attending physician at the Mayo Medical Center. You can go to him if needed.”
Zong Jinghao took the card from Mr. Wang. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
Zong Jinghao extended his hand to shake hands with Mr. Wang. “I’ve taken up your time today; I shall treat you to a meal next time.”
Mr. Wang readily agreed. After seeing him out and watching the man get into the car, Zong Jinghao also left the place.
He walked to the car parked on the side of the road, opened the door, and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Having moved in to make room for him, Lin Xinyan replied, “It’s nothing. I just saw Guan Jin with a woman.”
Zong Jinghao got in and closed the car door. He then asked, “What woman?”
Lin Xinyan described to him what she saw, and then asked, “Do you know about it?”
The reason for Guan Jing’s unusual behavior instantly dawned on Zong Jinghao. It turned out that he and Gu Huiyuan were together.
No wonder he wanted to resign.
Zong Jinghao said to the driver, “Take us to the office.”
After speaking, he dialed Guan Jing’s number and asked him to go to the office.
At this moment, Guan Jing and Gu Huiyuan were on the way to the hospital. He didn’t believe that she was pregnant with his child so he insisted on taking her to the hospital for an examination.
She didn’t want to go, but he was too strong and she could not break free, so she was forced to get into a taxi with him. While on the way, Zong Jinghao called him to ask him to go to the office.
The car happened to stop at the traffic light as Guan Jing was answering the phone. Seizing the opportunity, Gu Huiyuan suddenly got off the car and ran away.
I can’t possibly go to the hospital when I’m not even pregnant, or else it’ll blow my cover!
“Gu Huiyuan!” Guan Jing shouted angrily while Gu Huiyuan ran fast for fear that he would catch her again.
Guan Jing only felt his head throb when he looked at her handbag that was left inside the car.
This woman is simply a devil.
The taxi driver asked, “Are you going to come in or get off here?”
Guan Jing got back in the car and instructed, “Take me to Wanyue Group.”
Soon, the taxi driver started his car and drove toward Wanyue Group.
When he arrived at his destination, Guan Jing paid for his journey and was about to get off the car when the driver reminded him, “Don’t forget your stuff.”
Guan Jing looked at the handbag Gu Huiyuan had left on the seat and picked it up after hesitating for two seconds. After closing the car door, he walked toward the office building’s lobby, and stopped in his tracks when he saw Shen Peichuan’s car entering the parking lot.
Shen Peichuan saw Guan Jing after parking his car; the former asked, “What are you doing here?”
“Waiting for you,” replied Guan Jing.
“Let’s go in together.” Walking side by side, Shen Peichuan glanced at the lady’s handbag in Guan Jing’s hand. “Is that your girlfriend’s?”
Guan Jing looked down and replied, “A nutjob’s.”
Shen Peichuan chuckled and dropped the subject.
After entering the elevator, Guan Jing asked, “Why are you here?”
Shen Peichuan replied that Zong Jinghao had asked him to come over.
Zong Jinghao was planning to take Lin Xinyan out of the country. As he would not be back for some time, he wanted to let Shen Peichuan know and ask him to look after his family. After all, there were elderly and children at home, so he was a little worried.
“Coincidentally, Mr. Zong also asked me to come. Is there something he wants to announce?” Guan Jing wondered.
