Chapter 2388 - 2388 Twins
2388 Twins
Seeing that Shen Mubei’s expression was dark, she explained, “I might have to see more friends during this period of time. It’ll be more convenient for me to stay at my house.”
Shen Mubei chose to go in the direction of the Xiao family’s house.
“Thank you,” Xiao Qing said as she unbuckled her seatbelt.
“Xiao Qing, must we be so polite between us?” Shen Mubei locked the car door.
Xiao Qing was a little puzzled. “You sent me back. I have to thank you.”
Shen Mubei: “…”
He turned his head and stared into her eyes. “You and I are going to get married soon. We’ll be husband and wife from now on. I hope I won’t hear polite words from your mouth again, okay?”
“Got it.” After saying that, Xiao Qing went to open the car door and found that it was locked.
She reminded him about it, but Shen Mubei did not do anything.
“Shen Mubei, don’t you think you’re acting a little strange? You’ve been in a bad mood since you arrived for dinner tonight. What are you doing now?” Xiao Qing’s anger rose.
Shen Mubei himself could not tell what he was thinking now. Perhaps he just wanted to keep her for a while longer.
Seeing that she was unhappy, he reached out to unlock the door. However, before he could touch the button, his cell phone rang.
He glanced at it and saw Zhao Xinshu’s name on it.
He frowned slightly. Ever since they broke up, he and Zhao Xinshu had nothing to do with each other. He did not intend to have anything to do with each other either.
He reached out and swiped the reject button.
However, the next second, the call came again.
Xiao Qing also saw the name displayed on his phone and was not so angry anymore. She said, “Do you want me to leave first or do you want to answer the phone first? It’s not convenient for me to stay here, right? Why don’t you let me leave first?”
“Xiao Qing!” Shen Mubei said in a low voice. “I have nothing to do with her anymore.”
“I didn’t say that there was anything going on between you two. What does it have to do with me whether you accept the call or not?”
“Do you suspect that I’m in contact with her?” Shen Mubei asked.
Xiao Qing closed her mouth and did not speak. She was conflicted. She was unwilling to admit that he was that kind of person, but if she admitted that he cut ties with his ex-girlfriend for the sake of the child, then that person of his would not make her feel very comfortable.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this that she was repeatedly torn in her heart. She could not accept what was happening now, nor could she accept this relationship.
“What does your relationship have to do with me? I don’t want to know, and I don’t care.” Xiao Qing pushed the door open forcefully. “Let me down!”
Seeing her attitude, Shen Mubei picked up the phone and put it on speaker. “Speak.”
Zhao Xinshu’s sobbing voice came from the other end. “Mubei, my mother got into a car accident. She was injured by someone, but the culprit can’t be found. She’s in the hospital now and is critically ill. I’m very scared. Can you help me? I beg you. Mubei! I’ve never begged you for anything… I’m really…”
Shen Mubei hung up.
Xiao Qing’s mood was in a mess because of his call.
She didn’t want to find out what kind of person Zhao Xinshu was. She also didn’t want to know what kind of relationship they had.
But now, whether it was Shen Mubei or Zhao Xinshu, they made it difficult for her to maintain the peace in her heart. She was in a complete mess.
She really hated this feeling. She hated it so much that she hated herself.
“Shen Mubei, I don’t want to know what’s going on between the two of you. Let me get out of the car. Go do what you need to do and accompany her!” She didn’t realize how much jealousy was in her words. She only knew that if she continued like this, she would really break down.
“Xiao Qing…” Shen Mubei grabbed her wrist.
“Let go of me! Shen Mubei, don’t make me hate you.”
Shen Mubei let go and unlocked the car door. Xiao Qing opened the car door and rushed out as if she was escaping. Halfway there, she was almost hit by a car. Shen Mubei immediately got out of the car and ran down, but Xiao Qing had already run into the building.
He pinched the space between his eyebrows and called his assistant. “Help me do something.”
After hanging up, he leaned against the driver’s seat and continued to pinch the space between his eyebrows. He was a little tired as he looked at the Xiao family’s house. The lights were still on, and he wondered if Xiao Qing had reached home.
He sat in the car in silence.
Xiao Qing maintained a smile in front of Mrs. Xiao. After chatting for a while, she returned to her room.
Sitting on the carpet by the bed, she felt very tired. She was clearly together with the person she had liked for many years, and everything seemed good. But there were many things that she could not think about carefully. As long as she thought about them, they would force her to the edge of collapse.
What kind of person was Zhao Xinshu? She couldn’t make a conclusion. However, what if she were in Zhao Xinshu’s shoes?
If Shen Mubei treated his ex-girlfriend like this, how would he treat her?
The relationship and marriage she had always dreamed about was not supposed to be like this.
…
When Qiao Weiyang received the call, the sky had just lit up and her voice was still groggy.
“I’ll be right there!” She got up from the bed and found some clothes to put on.
Su Zhuoqian followed her and asked, “What happened?”
“Xiao Qing might not be able to keep her child,” she said hurriedly.
Su Zhuoqian saw the sadness on her face and could not bear to ask further. He followed her out and drove to the hospital.
When they arrived at the hospital, Song Hanzhi was there to welcome the two of them. “Xiao Qing came over early in the morning after experiencing some bleeding. We didn’t manage to save the baby. She’s undergoing surgery now.”
Qiao Weiyang narrowed her eyes and controlled her emotions.
Song Hanzhi whispered, “Did you already have a premonition?”
“It wasn’t a premonition. Yesterday, I felt her pulse and figured out that there was a problem. The problem was with the embryo itself, so I couldn’t nurse it back to health. Therefore, I could only let the doctor take care of it. The greatest possibility was that when they wanted this child, both of them had drunk alcohol, so…”
She originally wanted to see if Xiao Qing could rely on the advanced medical technology to stabilize Xiao Qing’s situation, but this kind of problem that stemmed from the embryo itself had always depended on fate.
Song Hanzhi immediately understood. “That’s true. If it were a problem with the mother, she could be nursed back to health. But a problem with the embryo… It can’t be helped. This is also a self-selection for the growth of species.”
“After the surgery, take the embryo sample and do a detailed examination to rule out other conditions.”
Song Hanzhi agreed and went back to work.
Qiao Weiyang sat on the bench, still feeling a little regretful. “I should have talked to her about this in detail yesterday so that she could be mentally prepared. That way, she wouldn’t have to face such a huge blow today.”
