C16 Get It Right

That day he had witnessed Lin Xinyan in his arms.

If this wasn’t his baby, then whose was it?

Hee Ruize’s heart ached for her. Things would not have escalated if she had found him that day of the car accident.

But according to Zong Jinghao, Hee Ruize was actually admitting it. He sneered hatefully, “She’s only 18 years old…”

“You don’t know anything!” His eyes were a little red from his emotional outburst. He knew what Zong Jinghao was hinting at: none of this would have happened if Lin Xinyan had loved herself more.

Only eighteen and she was pregnant. She was very casual with her body!

But did he know exactly what she had to go through?

Hee Ruize gave Zong Jinghao a once-over. From just a glance, he could see that the expensive suit was probably the yearly salary of a regular person.

“Such a noble young master like yourself will never have to experience the hardships of an ordinary person. You never have to deal with hunger, with the knowledge that there is no food to eat. Nor the helplessness of being driven into a corner. This is exactly it! You don’t know! And you continue to be ignorant about how she managed to survive until this very day…”

Lin Xinyan grabbed Hee Ruize and tried to stop him. She didn’t need any more sympathy, nor anyone to pity her. She just needed to continue living so that she could take care of her mother and the baby in her womb.

“I need you to take me to the hospital right now.” The pain was so intense, she thought that she would collapse in the next second.

“Alright.” Hee Ruize bent over and took her in his arms.

Lin Xinyan looked back to see Zong Jinghao’s stunned face, who appeared surprised by Hee Ruize’s words. “Sorry, but I can’t put a halt to my waitressing job. You don’t need to worry though. I’ll keep my relationship with you under wraps, so no one would find out. You don’t have to feel ashamed.”

Zong Jinghao had a frown on his face and his eyes flickered with an unnamed emotion. Then, his gaze surveyed her face, taking in every detail. This woman...

From just a glance, passersby wouldn’t be able to glean Lin Xinyan’s current condition, but Hee Ruize, who was holding her, could see that she was shaking. Hee Ruize carried her into the car and gave her several words of comfort. “You don’t need to be afraid. If you don’t see red, everything will be alright.”

After that, Hee Ruize rushed into the car as fast as he could and sped to the hospital.

Zong Jinghao’s eyes did not leave the car that was getting smaller and smaller in the distance. He was still mulling over the words that Hee Ruize had spoken to him. What secrets could Lin Xinyan possibly be hiding?

Could it be that she was compromised? This made sense why so many of her actions seemed so strange.

To get a better grip on things, he got out his phone and made a call to Guan Jin.

“I need you to investigate Lin Xinyan.”

“What do I want to know about her?”

“Leave nothing out.”

Having said that, Zong Jinghao hung up the phone.

“Hao.” Bai Zhuwei rushed out of the restaurant and grabbed his arm. “Do you still blame me for not letting Lin Xinyan into the company? I know. It’s my fault. But I just love you too much.”

“No, let’s head back.” His voice and expression were unmoved and did not fluctuate at all.

His veiled expression allowed no one to see through his hidden emotions.

Bai Zhuwei began to feel uneasy.

Who was he interacting with just now?

Hospital.

Lin Xinyan’s condition was so urgent that upon arrival at the hospital she was sent to the operating room.

Hee Ruize impatiently waited outside. All kinds of things were running through his mind as he waited. The waiting had become so torturous, he often peered into the operation room from time to time, hoping to learn something from the sterile setting of the hospital doorway.

After about an hour of waiting, the door to the operation room was finally opened and Lin Xinyan was pushed out on a stretcher. Hee Ruize immediately rushed to her side and asked the doctor, “How is she doing?”

The doctor took off his mask and said, “She appears overworked and there were signs of a miscarriage. But with some rest, she will be fine now. If she doesn’t take care of herself right away, next time she might not be so lucky.”

“Yes, I know.” Hee Ruize took action to push her into the ward.

Lin Xinyan peered up at Hee Ruize and said in a sincere voice, “Thank you for always being there for me.”

Always by her side when she needed him most.

“I’m glad that you’re fine now.” Hee Ruize opened his mouth to reveal his usual kind smile.

“You’re the one who helped me with the payment, right? I owe you for that too.” Lin Xinyan worriedly bit down on her dry lips.

“We can put this aside for now. You need your rest.” Hee Ruize didn’t like her putting more distance between them. So he tried to put her mind at ease about the matter.

After arriving at the ward, Lin Xinyan looked over at him. “Can you please call my mother? And let her know I’m at the hospital?”

She didn’t want to trouble Hee Ruize too much.

Her request was nothing out of the ordinary. When people are not feeling their best, they naturally want their loved ones to be close.

He took out his cell phone and gave Zhuang Zijin a call. He gave her the gist about what happened - that Lin Xinyan was currently at the hospital and to come over.

Zhuang Zijin panicked when she heard the news. “Is there anything wrong? Did something happen to Xinyan?”

“Everything should be fine now. She just needs her rest. She asked to see you.”

Zhuang Zijin heaved a huge sigh of relief when she heard that Lin Xinyan will be okay.

She got to the hospital as fast as she could.

When Zhuang Zijin arrived by Lin Xinyan’s bedside, Lin Xinyan turned to Hee Ruize and told him he could go.

“Yes, we don’t want to trouble you anymore,” Zhuang Zijin was the first to apologize.

“It’s alright. I’ll head out right now and see you tomorrow.” Hee Ruize looked over at her. “Be sure to rest well.”

“I’ll be sure to.”

After Hee Ruize left the room, Zhuang Zijin moved closer to her daughter and placed a blanket over her. “Do you want to eat anything?”

Lin Xinyan shook her head. The surgery had worn her out.

Seeing Lin Xinyan like this did not alleviate the worries in Zhuang Zijin's heart.

“You could’ve had everything, but you lost all that when you had to take care of me. Your education had to take the backseat and now…”

Thinking about the unborn child in her stomach, Zhuang Zijin felt a stab of pain shoot through her heart. “You said you got pregnant at A Nation. What if the child turns out to be yellow-haired and blue-eyed?”

It was obvious Zhuang Zijin was currently concerned that he would be a local.

“No matter how he turns out, he’s still my child and your grandson.” Lin Xinyan didn’t want to talk about it anymore. It wasn’t a good memory for her.

“A Nation?” Zong Jinghao came to the hospital to see how Lin Xinyan was doing. He decided against knocking on the door when he found Zhuang Zijin already inside chatting with her. He didn’t want to disturb their mother and daughter quality time.

“Okay, no matter what he looks like, whether he is born with white or yellow skin, I will accept him as my grandson all the same.” Zhuang Zijin already had the chance to think things through. As long as her daughter was happy, whatever life throws at them, she would be willing to just deal with it and take care of her.

Perhaps all their fates were intertwined.

After all, she was no stranger to children.

Zhuang Zijin touched her forehead and feelings of sorrow immediately surged up in her heart. “My daughter, all this suffering because of me.”

“She is still with child?” Left in the dark about this matter, more and more Zong Jinghao felt like this woman was a mystery.

She had obviously entered the operating room that day.

Since it was obvious they were sharing an intimate and private moment, he didn’t want to disturb them. He turned and walked out of the door.

When he was about to reach the entrance to the hospital, his phone alerted him to a call. He took it out, and on the display, it read Guan Jin’s name.

He answered the call.

“The matter has been investigated.”
