Chapter 169: With her child taken away, can Gu Zhiyao still survive?
After the call ended, Aunt Li hurriedly told Gu Zhiyao, "Mr. Quan said he's coming over now. My dear girl, if you have any doubts or sadness in your heart, you can ask Mr. Quan directly later. Come on, let's tidy up. Your clothes are all wet. I'll change you into a new one. You can't keep sweating, or you'll easily catch a cold."
When Gu Zhiyao heard Aunt Li say that Quan Xinyu was coming, she paused and stared at Aunt Li.
Aunt Li smiled slightly, "It must have been President He who called him over. Mr. Quan will tell you the situation later. Shall we just wait patiently for him to arrive? By the way, the floor is cold. You are a mother, you have to protect your baby. He can only rely on you to protect him. Get up quickly!"
Oh, right, baby!
If Quan Xinyu comes over, will he also bring the doctor to give her a check-up?
Won't her twin pregnancy be exposed then?
She couldn't let Quan Xinyu know, and she couldn't let other doctors examine her.
Gu Zhiyao hurriedly found her phone and called Dr. Zhou, "Aunt Zhou, are you free now? I was very emotional just now and I'm worried that something might happen to the baby. Could you come and take a look at me? Please!"
After all, they were as close as mother and daughter, so they had some unspoken understanding. Dr. Zhou quickly grasped Gu Zhiyao's hint and said promptly, "Okay, I'll be right there."
Aunt Li helped Gu Zhiyao back to her bedroom and changed her into clean clothes. Gu Zhiyao lay down to rest, and Aunt Li brought hot water to wipe her face. Gu Zhiyao's eyes were vacant, and she seemed to be thinking about something. Apart from asking about her physical condition, Aunt Li did not dare to say anything else.
Dr. Zhou arrived first. Seeing Gu Zhiyao's condition, he frowned, walked to the bedside, looked at Gu Zhiyao, and then began to examine her.
There was some fetal movement, but it's not a big problem.
"What happened?" Dr. Zhou asked when Aunt Li went out to do something, leaving only her and Gu Zhiyao in the bedroom.
"Aunt Zhou, he got married. He gave her a grand wedding and made her the happiest bride in the world."
Although Gu Zhiyao did not specify her name, Dr. Zhou could roughly guess who it was. She was focused on saving lives through medicine and paid no attention to the gossip around her, so she was unaware of the marriage between the He and Zheng families.
That guy, in the end, still chose that woman!
Zhiyao must be in a lot of pain.
Dr. Zhou held Gu Zhiyao's hand tightly.
Soon after, Quan Xinyu arrived, and as expected, he brought the doctor with him.
Upon seeing Dr. Zhou, he paused for a moment, but first asked, "How is the situation?"
"It's alright, there's nothing serious. It's just that the emotional fluctuations caused some fetal movement. It will be fine once you calm down," Dr. Zhou said seriously.
Quan Xinyu breathed a sigh of relief and began to look at Gu Zhiyao. Seeing Gu Zhiyao's miserable condition, he couldn't help but feel sad again.
He first dismissed the doctor he brought, then Dr. Zhou left as well. Aunt Li was outside brewing medicine, while Quan Xinyu stayed in Gu Zhiyao's dormitory.
He stared at Gu Zhiyao for a long time, her expression blank and sorrowful, as if she had lost her soul. He stammered, "This is the wedding that President He promised to Miss Zheng a long time ago. It's a fact that will never change in this lifetime. I hope you can take it easy. After all, nothing is more important than your child, right? Even though you no longer have President He, you still have your child. Even if it's just for your child, you have to live on."
Quan Xinyu dared not say that he would lose this child in the future.
He couldn't imagine what kind of devastating blow Gu Zhiyao would face after Zheng Yuanxi took her child away as well.
Is it possible for them to survive?
But it seems that it no longer matters at that time?
Besides, Zheng Yuanxi might not let Gu Zhiyao off the hook.
Without President He's protection...
No, President He wouldn't be so heartless. At the very least, he'll let Gu Zhiyao live a good life!
Quan Xinyu was so heartbroken that he didn't know what to say.
Suddenly, Gu Zhiyao finally spoke up, "Assistant Quan, you can leave now."
Quan Xinyu's breath hitched, but he really couldn't stay any longer. There were still many things at the wedding banquet that needed his attention. Although he had arranged and assigned them, as the head steward, he needed to be present to manage those matters and deal with any emergencies.
Now that Gu Zhiyao was alright, Quan Xinyu felt he didn't need to stay any longer, so he called Aunt Li aside and instructed her to take good care of Gu Zhiyao.
"Mr. Quan, why is President He like this? Is he going to ignore Miss Gu forever? But he and Miss Gu had such a good relationship before, like a young couple. Why is he suddenly ignoring her like this?" Aunt Li asked again, unable to hold back her tears.
Quan Xinyu gently rebuked her, "How could President He ignore people? Don't overthink it, and don't talk nonsense to Gu Zhiyao. Remember your responsibilities. Remember, you work for President He, understand?"
In reality, Quan Xinyu was just saying it. He knew Aunt Li's feelings for Gu Zhiyao and that she must be on Gu Zhiyao's side. Just like him, even though he was President He's man, he also felt sad for Gu Zhiyao. Otherwise, he wouldn't have fought so hard today. Unfortunately, he still couldn't help her much.
Now, even he himself doesn't know what President He's next plan is, or how President He will deal with Gu Zhiyao.
But the child will inevitably be taken away in the future. As for how to arrange things for Gu Zhiyao, he doesn't know. He had previously suggested that President He give Gu Zhiyao another child, and President He seemed to have adopted this suggestion. But now that Miss Zheng has intervened, he is not sure if such a thing can be done. He is also unsure whether President He will still be able to make Gu Zhiyao pregnant again, since Miss Zheng's actions are constantly refreshing his understanding.
It's no longer as simple or as tolerant as it used to be.
Yes, how could a young lady from a top-tier wealthy family truly be without guile, kind, and innocent?
After giving his instructions, Quan Xinyu left and returned to the wedding banquet venue.
The place remained bustling and filled with joy.
Quan Xinyu watched from afar as the bride and groom, the center of attention, were captivated by Zheng Yuanxi's radiant beauty, her face beaming with a bright and dazzling smile, radiating happiness. In contrast to Gu Zhiyao's sorrowful, pained, and dejected appearance, it was a stark contrast, a great irony.
Quan Xinyu felt a stinging pain in his eyes.
He quickly turned around, walked to a quiet, deserted corner, took out a cigarette, and leaned against a pillar to smoke.
Some time later, his phone rang.
Caller ID: Mr. He Quanxin was taken aback for a moment, then quickly stubbed out his cigarette, composed himself, and answered the phone respectfully, "Mr. He."
"Did something happen? Where are you now?" He Yi's deep voice slowly came over, then he asked directly, "Is it Gu Zhiyao's side? Is something wrong?"
