Zhuang Zijin was finally released from prison.
It was Shen Peichuan who had sent her home personally.
Not wanting Zhuang Zijin to worry, he didn’t inform her of Lin Xinyan’s health condition.
He only told her that Zong Jinghao had brought her on an overseas tour.
“Goodness, she shouldn’t be out and about when she’s pregnant. Even if she wants to go on a tour, she should wait until she has given birth to her baby. At least I can help them take care of the kids, and they can fly anywhere they want.” Zhuang Zijin had slimmed down a lot, but she was in good spirits.
This was probably because she knew her daughter was living a happy life, so her mood was greatly lifted by the knowledge.
Lin Xinyan might not be her biological daughter, but Zhuang Zijin was the one who had raised her up. Her motherly love towards Lin Xinyan was definitely strong; probably even stronger than Lin Xinyan’s biological mother.
“Don’t worry. She’ll be fine,” Shen Peichuan comforted her.
“Yeah, she has someone to take care of her there. Plus, it’s probably good for her to go out and take a break,” Qin Ya assented.
It was normal for Zhuang Zijin to worry about her. She knew how badly damaged Lin Xinyan’s health was after giving birth to the twins. Now that her fetus was growing bigger, she wanted her daughter to prioritize her health and safety above all.
But knowing that Zong Jinghao was with her and that he had the ability to take care of her, Zhuang Zijin felt slightly at ease and decided to drop the matter.
Now she just hoped that the kids could come back from school sooner so that she could meet them.
On the other hand, Shen Peichuan had asked Aunt Yu to prepare a sumptuous dinner for them. After all, Zhuang Zijin’s release was worth a celebration, especially since Qin Ya was here too.
“You’re here to see Su Zhan?” Shen Peichuan asked.
Qin Ya’s smile froze at his question. “No. Please don’t tell him I’m here.”
Shen Peichuan might be a dense man when it came to his own relationship, but not with others. He could see that something had happened between Qin Ya and Su Zhan. “Wait, didn’t you two make up already? Don’t tell me he made you mad again? That’s impossible. He’s literally treating you like a queen!”
Qin Ya glared at him. “Are you trying to take a dig at me, Mr. Shen?”
Shen Peichuan grinned. “Did I?”
Qin Ya ignored him and turned to chat with Zhuang Zijin instead.
Seeing that, Shen Peichuan decided to bid his farewell, since he had something else to deal with.
Before he left the police station, he had heard the news of Captain Song being admitted into the hospital. It had been a day since he had last heard anything about him, hence Shen Peichuan decided to visit Captain Song.
He hated Song Yaxin and her mother with all his might, but it was Captain Song he was visiting and not the two women.
He informed Sang Yu of his whereabouts and left.
When he arrived at Captain Song’s ward, Shen Peichuan hesitated for a moment before knocking on the door. He was afraid that Mrs. Song or Song Yaxin would be in the ward, as he really didn’t want to meet them.
When he saw there was no sign of them in the ward, Shen Peichuan finally let out a sigh of relief.
Captain Song looked as pale as a sheet as he lay in bed.
“What happened to you?” Shen Peichuan asked in concern.
Captain Song snorted in reply, “Well, it’s all because of you. Just… why on earth did you agree to marry Yaxin when you’re not willing to? See the mess she created in the station. My reputation is ruined this time.”
Shen Peichuan was not clear about his feelings back then. He just thought that Song Yaxin was a good match for him after taking account of her age, which was almost the same as his.
Who would’ve thought he would run into Sang Yu again and fell in love with her…
“Are you alright? What did the doctor say?” Shen Peichuan knew it was his fault for agreeing to the marriage proposal so recklessly. He shouldn’t have agreed to marry Song Yaxin without thinking it through.
But then, Song Yaxin was literally chasing after him with her non-stop pestering. He too had no idea how to stop her from bugging him other than agreeing to marry her.
Captain Song leaned back in his pillow and replied after a while, “I am not gonna die yet.”
It was just the sudden increase in blood pressure that caused him to faint. Other than that, he was very much healthy.
“I’m so sorry, Captain Song. I…”
“You don’t need to explain. I’m not blaming you.” Captain Song sighed, “Well, it’s partly my fault too for trying to matchmake you with Yaxin, even though I know that you don’t like her. Now I’ve made a fool of myself.”
Shen Peichuan lowered his head like a guilty little boy.
“It’s fine now. But I think you cannot come to my house anymore.” Mrs. Song would never welcome him after this incident.
Shen Peichuan had no idea how to respond to him.
“Well, I think you should go now.” Captain Song waved him off. His wife and daughter had just gone out to buy something and should be back by now. He bet they would create yet another mess in the hospital upon seeing Shen Peichuan here.
If that happened, Captain Song’s reputation would be completely ruined.
“Then I shall take my leave.” Shen Peichuan bid his farewell.
Captain Song hummed in reply when Shen Peichuan opened the door to leave. But to Shen Peichuan’s dismay, the two women he had tried so hard to avoid happened to return from their shopping.
