Si Zhengting let Ding Mengya get into the car. Without casting a second look at Zhuang Nainai, he directly got into the driver’s seat and drove the car off.
Along the way, while he was driving, Ding Mengya said, “Zhengting, I’m alright and I don’t need to go to the hospital. You probably should go back and take a look at how Nainai’s doing. After all, her mother has gone missing, and it’s perfectly normal for her to be anxious about it. Don’t be like that…”
Si Zhengting’s eyes were dark. After a few moments, he sighed.
It was not that he didn’t want to go and see her; it was just that he was a little nervous and unsure of what to do.
He had always been hearing from Zhuang Nainai how much she hated Madam Ding, but hearing about it and seeing it for real were two different matters, and the shock he had felt was inexplicable.
She hated Ding Mengya, and this hatred had just been starkly and nakedly expressed. His wife, the woman he loved with all his heart, was harboring such an intense dislike for the mother whom he was so close to. He simply could not accept this.
But the thought of Zhuang Nainai’s pallor made Si Zhengting pick up his cell phone to call Su Yanbin. “Go and take a look at Nainai. You have to get to her within the next 10 minutes!”
After making the call to Su Yanbin, he got Lin Xi’er’s number from Su Yanbin. Making another call to Lin Xi’er, he politely said, “Nainai’s mother has gone missing, and she isn’t emotionally stable right now. Could you go over to check up on how she is and accompany her?”
Lin Xi’er was just about to plan a trip to Lijiang but immediately canceled it in favor of agreeing to Si Zhengting’s request. “Okay, I’ll head over right now.”
Si Zhengting replied sincerely, “Thank you.”

At the dingy little house…
The door was still open. Still standing in the doorway, Zhuang Nainai let the cold wind sweep past her over and over again.
Her eyes were fixed in the direction where Si Zhengting had left, and her lips were now forming a bitter, helpless smile that was uglier than crying.
Taking a deep breath, she told herself to quit being sad now that she was no longer alone. Even if she didn’t have Mother Zhuang, even if Si Zhengting wasn’t with her, she still had her child.
She was no longer alone in this world.
Just as she thought this, she felt waves of pain coming from her stomach, and the piercing feeling made her double over. In deep pain, she was now unable to even walk back into the house.
Feeling as if there was something warm flowing out from under her, she was plunged into a state of panic!
Just then, she heard a teasing voice. “Oh no, Zhuang Nainai, what’s up with you and Leader Ting? Didn’t y’all make up with each other?”
Raising her head to see Su Yanbin walking toward her, she immediately stuck out her hand. “Su Yanbin, save me, save… my child!”
With that, she blacked out and immediately fainted!
Su Yanbin’s teasing expression faded in an instant. Rushing forward to grab hold of her, he quickly called for an ambulance…

Si Zhengting brought Ding Mengya to the hospital, and the doctor was now checking on Madam Ding’s fingers.
While he stood to one side, Si Zhengting’s mind was restless as he kept glancing at his cell phone. How is she doing now? he thought.
Right at that moment, he received a call from Su Yanbin, who was speaking in an urgent tone. “Leader Ting, come quick! Sister-in-law is pregnant! And she’s having symptoms of a miscarriage!”
Pregnant?
Without even having any time to feel joy, Si Zhengting was shocked speechless at hearing the word “miscarriage”!
His hand loosening its grip, his cell phone almost dropped to the floor!
Without even glancing at Madam Ding, he immediately rushed out!
