Xi Yu was silent for a few seconds, feeling as if the air was condensing and suffocating, "Mom."

"Xixi, is the young master with you?" There was a hint of caution in Zhuang Yi's voice.

Maybe she was scared by the last phone call.

Xi Yu curled his lips sarcastically, "Not here."

Zhuang Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and spoke more naturally, "You didn't go to the performance, right? The young master hid you? Where are you?"

"I'm not with the young master. I'm performing outside."

"Don't lie to me," Zhuang Yi laughed, "Xingxi, I'm your mother. I won't hurt you. Don't lie to your mother."

"Why would I lie to you?" Xi Yu looked out the window and said in a calm voice, "Didn't you see the news about the young master and Miss Chu? Everyone in the Zong family should know that they went in and out together."

This time it was Zhuang Yi who remained silent.

after awhile.

"You...really not with the young master? Then why did the young master answer my call last time?"

"It's just a coincidence. I met him last time when I went out for a performance."

Xi Yu thought of Xi Kuoshan's disappearance, "Mom, has he...looked for you recently? How did you resolve the two million issue last time?"

"Your father didn't contact me," Zhuang Yi said with a hint of joy in her voice, "He has a way to solve it himself. He even called me a few days ago and told me not to worry about the money.

Xixi, your father is still very capable. Over the years, he has not troubled us mother and daughter many times. Don't hate him."

Xi Yu suppressed his annoyance and said, "What's the matter with you calling me? The lights in my dormitory are about to be turned off. Let's make it short."

"Mom wants to ask when you'll be back. Didn't you say you'd only be away for half a month? The time is almost up, right?

Will you come back on Friday? Do you have time in the evening? Mom is going to meet some old friends, you can come with me. "

Xi Yu thought about it and couldn't remember any friends Zhuang Yi had.

Since the mother and daughter always lived in the Zong family, Zhuang Yi cut off all contact with the outside world, let alone friends.

"You're going to be a senior soon, so you have to start thinking about work. Mom's friends have a wide network of contacts, and I'll take you out to meet them. Maybe you can find a good job."

Xi Yu responded perfunctorily, "The specific time arrangement depends on the school. I have something else to do here, so I'll hang up first."

Xi Yu didn't sleep well that night.

There was a dull pain in my ankle and a slight discomfort in my lower abdomen.

When Xi Yu woke up the next morning, he still felt groggy as if he hadn't woken up yet.

After a quick wash, she was too lazy to eat breakfast, so she just grabbed a pack of milk and went out.

The bus swayed slowly as it arrived at the school. As soon as Xi Yu got off the bus, his eyes suddenly went dark.

...

Zong Du felt a little dizzy when he woke up. As soon as he moved, a soft body came over him.

He subconsciously grabbed the other person's neck with his five fingers and pinched him.

"Ah! What are you doing? Let go!"

Zong Du loosened his fingers and saw Chu Ying staring at him with tears in her eyes.

"You're crazy!"

Zong Du frowned and looked at the red kiss mark on her shoulder.

Chu Ying coughed twice and lifted the quilt to reveal the mottled marks on her body. "It's fine if you bullied me last night, but why did you fight with me as soon as you got up!"

Zong Du's eyes dropped.

Chu Ying immediately hugged her chest to cover it, "Zong Du, don't go too far!"

Zong Du retracted his gaze and sat up despite the pain in his temple. "What happened last night?"

He only remembered that he was watching Xi Yi's performance, and then...

Chu Ying, "I took you to drink with the ambassador last night and negotiated cooperation with several French brands. You drank a little too much, and when you were happy, you pulled me along..."

Zong Du sneered, "Slept with you?"

Chu Ying paused, "Yeah."

Zong Du raised his hand, lifted the quilt, and got off the bed.

Chu Ying watched him bend down to pick up his pants, "Hey, you're not going to deny it, are you?" She pointed at a few used condoms on the ground, "I have evidence!"

Zong Du ignored him, put on his pants, walked directly to the door and opened it.

Chu Ying screamed in fear and quickly pulled up the quilt to cover her body, "Are you sick?"

Lu Rang walked to the door without looking away, "Master."

Soudou picked up his shirt and put it on, "Let's go back to the old house."

"yes."

The whole process took only a few minutes and Zong Du left the hotel directly.

Chu Ying got up from the bed with an uncertain look on her face. Assistant Fuli sneaked in from the door and asked, "Miss, what should we do?"

...

When Xi Yu woke up, he was already lying on a hospital bed.

The air was full of the smell of disinfectant, there were needles on the back of my hands, and there was a significant tingling pain on my ankles.

Just then, a nurse came over to change the dressing for the patient. Xi Yu called out to her, "Nurse, what's wrong with me?"

It can't be that he fainted because of the pain in his ankle?

The nurse pulled the curtain over Xi Yu and whispered, "You are pregnant."

Xi Yu froze, "What?"

"I'll explain it to you later. Go change the dressing on the next bed first." The nurse crawled through her curtain and went to the next bed.

Xi Yu touched his lower abdomen, his mind went blank.

Is she pregnant?

How could she be pregnant?

She has been taking birth control pills.

The nurse came back and said, "You fainted because you were too tired and malnourished. Luckily, a kind passerby called 120 and sent you here."

"But I've been taking birth control pills."

"Contraceptive pills are not 100% effective against pregnancy," the nurse said, seeing that Xi Yu was young, and lowered her voice, "Are you pregnant unexpectedly? Are you in a premature relationship?"

"I'm an adult, but—"

The nurse was about to say something when the curtain was suddenly drawn open.

Nurse, "Ah, your attending doctor is here, let him explain it to you in detail."

Xi Yu sat up from the bed with a pale face and looked at the doctor in panic, "I'm not pregnant, am I? How could I... I'm taking long-acting contraceptive pills."

Seeing that she was so panicked that her eyes were red, the doctor quickly spoke to comfort her, "Don't worry, don't worry, calm down first, okay?"

Xi Yu shook his head. "How can I calm down? I——"

"Listen to me first." The doctor looked at Xi Yu, "You don't want this child, right?"

Xi Yu nodded.

"It just so happens that I don't agree with you keeping this child."

Xi Yi paused, "What?"

"You are indeed pregnant, but this baby is ectopic." The doctor handed two examination reports to Xi Yu.

Xi Yu looked down at the reports in his hands. One was a pregnancy report, and the other was an ectopic pregnancy report. "This..."

"When you arrived, I was busy in the emergency room, so I signed a basic checklist for the nurse and concluded that I was pregnant.

When I came back after finishing my work, I saw that several of your indicators were not right, so I did a further check."

The doctor pointed to the test results of ectopic pregnancy and said, "Even if you want this child, you can't keep it."

Xi Yu blinked, and a strange joy rose in his pale face, "I...can't protect it?"

"Yes, the fertilized egg implanted in the wrong place and is blocking your fallopian tube. It's okay now that it's small, but as the fetus develops slowly, you never know when it will bleed heavily and cause the fallopian tube to rupture."
