Zhang Huai looked at Qu Xiaobo coldly, saying, "If it's my brother's baby, why would she refuse to marry him?"
Mo Shaoyan didn't know how to answer her question.
He didn't want to argue with her either, "You can believe whatever you want to believe."
Zhang Huai frowned after Mo Shaoyan stopped speaking for Qu Xiaobo, "You're so protective of her. Is that your baby?"
Mo Shaoyan was so shocked at her words, "Be careful with your words! It's your brother's baby and it has nothing to do with me!"
"Is that so?"
Zhang Huai was suspicious.
Mo Shaoyan found her and her family unbelievable, "Whatever. It's your brother's baby. If you don't believe it, you can ask her to have an abortion. She's young and pretty, so it won't be hard for her to find a nice husband after the abortion. Why would she keep the baby?"
Mo Shaoyan was very straightforward and he said the truth.
Qu Xiaobo was good-looking.
Zhang Kai was now dead. If Qu Xiaobo was not pregnant, there would be lots of men chasing after her.
If she was pregnant with Zhang Kai's baby, it would scare off some men.
Some men minded about marrying a pregnant woman.
They wouldn't think so much if there was no baby.
After Mo Shaoyan talked about the abortion, Zhang Huai believed him, "You're not my sister-in-law's lover?"
"Come on! Stop slandering me!"
Mo Shaoyan almost laughed at Zhang Huai's words.
After double-checking it, Zhang Huai stopped talking about the baby.
She took out the handkerchief Mo Shaoyan gave her and passed it to Mo Shaoyan, "This is the handkerchief that you gave to me before. I've washed it."
Mo Shaoyan looked at the handkerchief.
He found it was like a plot in dramas.
"No, you can keep it."
Mo Shaoyan didn't care about a handkerchief since he was rich.
Zhang Huai had used it. Even if he got it back, he wouldn't use it again and probably would just throw it away.
It was a burden.
He would rather give it to her.
"No, I've washed it. Please take it. It's yours."
Zhang Huai insisted on giving it back.
Mo Shaoyan nodded and took over it casually, "Fine. Thanks for washing it."
"You're welcome."
Zhang Huai looked down, flushing.
Mo Shaoyan was a playboy and had seen many girls.
He noticed that Zhang Huai was acting weirdly.
So, he didn't want to stay in the same ward with her, "Now that you're here to look after her, I'll go back now."
Qu Xiaobo was pregnant with Zhang Kai's baby.
Naturally, Zhang Kai's family needed to take care of her.
He would not stay here anymore.
Staying here all night was very tiring.
And Zhang Kai's parents just lost their only son, so they would definitely take good care of Qu Xiaobo's baby.
Nothing would go wrong if Zhang Kai's family members took care of her.
Mo Shaoyan wanted to leave.
But Zhang Huai didn't let him go, saying, "Please wait, Mr. Mo."
Zhang Huai stopped him.
Mo Shaoyan turned around and looked at Zhang Huai, "Anything else?"
"I... I haven't taken care of pregnant women before. Can you stay and look after her with me?" Zhang Huai faltered.
Mo Shaoyan was speechless, "I haven't taken care of pregnant women before, either."
A young lady had no experience in taking care of pregnant women.
He hadn't been a dad before, so he wasn't experienced, either.
"Where are your parents?"
Zhang Kai's parents had been there before, and they must've had some experience in taking care of pregnant women.
When she was asked about her parents, she looked sad, "My mom passed out when she knew about my brother's death. And my dad has been taking care of her."
That was miserable.
Mo Shaoyan felt sorry for Zhang Huai's family. He noticed how she struggled, so he sighed, "Fine, I'll stay with you."
Zhang Huai flushed and looked more keenly at him after hearing his words.
It was a long night.
It felt like a year if he didn't sleep it through.
Mo Shaoyan almost fell asleep when he sat by Qu Xiaobo's bed.
But he was woken up by Zhang Huai's words, "I heard that this town doesn't have many residents."
"It's understandable. This is a mountainous area."
Mo Shaoyan yawned and stood up to go to the bathroom.
Zhang Huai suddenly grabbed his arm when he stood up.
Zhang Huai's sudden move scared Mo Shaoyan, "What are you doing?"
Zhang Huai blinked her beautiful eyes and said with fear, "I'm scared."
Girls in their early 20s were as fresh as flowers in spring. Every man would feel protective of them when they blinked their watery eyes and said they were scared.
Mo Shaoyan was no exception.
But after the sense of protection faded away, he started to feel confused, "What are you scared of?"
There was no ghost story about the hospital and the lights in the ward were very bright.
What made this girl scared?
"Haven't you heard of it?" Zhang Huai looked at the door and the window nervously.
Mo Shaoyan turned around to look at the door and the window, too.
They were closed and showed no sign of ghosts.
"What?" Mo Shaoyan asked.
Zhang Huai looked up into his eyes and said in terror, "Zhang Tiantian died in this hospital."
"Zhang Tiantian?"
"The victim in the case that my brother was in charge of."
"Oh, it's her."
Mo Shaoyan got it, "How could she die in this hospital?"
Zhang Huai twitched her lips and looked around warily.
She seemed to be alert to the monsters that would jump out at any time.
"She... She was..."
"She was what?"
Mo Shaoyan became impatient when she stammered.
"She was raped before she was killed."
Mo Shaoyan was shocked.
At the same time, Gu Baisheng saw Zhang Tiantian's body at the morgue. She stepped back out of terror after Sun Jing told her the cause of Zhang Tiantian's death.
Her face suddenly turned pale.
"How could it happen?"
She couldn't believe that Zhang Tiantian lost her life in such a shameful way.
"The two criminals sneaked into Zhang Tiantian's ward on that night. They assaulted and beat her. When Xiao Rong arrived at the crime scene, she was dead."
Sun Jing looked down at the report and said, "That's Xiao Rong's dictation, which includes his description of everything he saw at the scene."
"Where is Xiao Rong now?"
Gu Baisheng asked Sun Jing.
It would be more clear if she could ask Xiao Rong herself.
Although the report was very trustworthy, she wanted to ask Xiao Rong herself.
She wanted to know how things would end up like this.
Sun Jing knew that Xiao Rong would make an appearance someday.
So he told her about Xiao Rong's whereabouts, "He has been staying in front of Zhang Ye's grave."
"Where is it?"
"It's on the mountain. It's really late now. Do you really want to go?"
Sun Jing looked at his watch, "It's already 9 p.m. It's hard to climb up the mountain."
Sun Jing's words drew Gu Baisheng's attention, "Xiao Rong is still on the mountain now?"
Sun Jing nodded and sighed, "After Zhang Tiantian's death, Xiao Rong is there all day. We suggested that he should go down the mountain, but he refuses and continues living there."
Sun Jing recalled the last time he saw Xiao Rong, "It's very cold up there. He has no place to sleep and no decent food to eat. The last time I saw him, he's already lost much weight. He must've been thinner now."
"I'll have a look."
Gu Baisheng turned away.
Sun Jing caught up with her, "Ms. Bai, you don't know where it is. I'll show you the road."
"I can do it." Song Shuang said, "Thank you, Mr. Sun. Please go back and get some rest."
Song Shuang said.
He noticed that Song Shuang was very confident and he knew that they were a couple, so he nodded, "OK, I'll go back. But if you need anything, just ring me. I'll be there soon."
"OK."
Song Shuang said goodbye to Sun Jing and then caught up with Gu Baisheng.
The wind was cold outside.
Gu Baisheng didn't wear any warm clothes, so Song Shuang held her in his arms, "What are you running for? Nobody forbids you to look for him."
After Gu Baisheng was pulled into his arms and felt the warmth from him, she realized that she was a bit hot-headed just now.
She looked up at him and explained, "I want to find out what he saw."
"I'll go with you."
Song Shuang looked down at her and noticed that her face turned red due to the coldness, "But you need to put on some warm clothes before we go find him."
It was very cold now. So she would catch a cold if she didn't put on more clothes.
And it was much colder on the mountain.
Gu Baisheng responded obediently, "OK."
Gu Baisheng put on the white down jacket given by Hu Hui.
She felt warm after putting it on.
Song Shuang smiled after seeing her walk out in the white down jacket because she looked pretty in it, "This jacket looks familiar."
Gu Baisheng apologized after realizing she was Bai Shengsheng now, "I'm sorry. Auntie Hu forced me to carry it with me before I left. It seems to belong to your ex-wife. If you mind it, I can change it."
"You look nice in it, too." And he added, "You look similar to her."
Gu Baisheng thought to herself.
That was because she was Gu Baisheng.
But Song Shuang couldn't hear it.
