In the hospital.
Qiao Yiren had already gone through the dilation and curettage surgery which was required to remove the dead fetus from her womb. After she regained consciousness, she threw herself into Xia Chuxi’s arms and could not stop crying. When Xia Chuxi saw that she was in such a frail and awful state, his heart ached. He put his arms around her and kept comforting her.
“Please don’t blame this tragedy on Qianxun. I know that she didn’t hurt me on purpose… She’s definitely not heinous to the point that she would kill our baby.” Qiao Yiren cried so much that she could barely breathe.
“The worst has already happened, and you’re still defending her! What have I done to deserve such a foolish daughter like you? Su Qianxun must’ve done that on purpose!” Su Manni entered the ward. She tossed her purse aside and started crying as well.
“I won’t let her off the hook. This time, I’ll definitely make her pay for what she did!” Xia Chuxi was seething. He could tolerate her unreasonable behavior, but he would absolutely not forgive her for killing his unborn child!
“Chuxi, you absolutely cannot side with that little b*tch this time. You owe me an explanation!” Su Manni was genuinely furious. She was hell-bent on seeking justice for her dead grandchild.
“Understood, Aunt Su.” Xia Chuxi’s mind was filled with the thought of his dead child. The fury had already overpowered his infatuation with Su Qianxun.
After Xia Chuxi left, Su Manni walked over to her daughter. “Yiren, you better tell me the truth. What really happened? What caused the miscarriage?”
“Mum…” Qiao Yiren was still in pain after the surgery. She would prefer to rest than talk to her mother now.
“You better explain yourself. I’ve warned you, haven’t I? You don’t have to do anything to Su Qianxun. You just need to do your part as the young lady of the Qiao family and the Xia Chuxi’s future wife! How dare you set her up by killing your own child!”
“Mum, it’s not like that. Listen to me. I couldn’t keep this baby to begin with. I just didn’t dare to tell you.” Qiao Yiren glanced nervously at the doorway. She then told her mother what the doctor had said about her unborn baby being malformed.
“You… how dare you keep such a big secret from me!” Su Manni was less angry by then. It was quite convenient to use a dead, malformed fetus to set that little sl*t up.
“What do you think, mum? Wasn’t it a rather smart plan?” Qiao Yiren looked at her mother proudly.
“Silly girl, don’t do anything like this again. We can’t let our guard down. This is not over yet. I will follow up on this matter, so you can stay out of it. Just focus on acting miserable in front of Chuxi. Guilt-trip him even more. Make him hate that little sl*t’s guts!” There was a vicious look in Su Manni’s eyes.

Gu Mian managed to get Tang Zui’s phone number from the Tang family. After she called him three times, Tang Zui eventually answered the phone in an unhurried manner.
“What?” Tang Zui knew that it was Gu Mian. He had her number.
“Tang Zui, is Sir Jue with you? Qianxun is in trouble!” Gu Mian had already arrived at the police station, but she could not enter the building. The police officers would not let her in. She was in a panic and on the verge of a meltdown.
When Tang Zui heard what Gu Mian had just said, he nearly fell off his chair. He looked nervously at the man who had been conducting a meeting before all of his subordinates. Long Sijue’s chair was now empty. He was already hurrying towards the door.
“Ye Gu, get the helicopter over here!” Long Sijue said. He had already stormed out of the boardroom.
Tang Zui quickly got up and ran after him. Gu Mian was still talking non-stop about Su Qianxun’s situation over the phone. The more Long Sijue listened to her, the more chilling and forbidding the air around him became. His potentially catastrophic anger made Tang Zui so incredibly nervous that fear and anxiety began to stir in his chest.
After Gu Mian ended the call, she tried to barge into the police station again. But two police officers stopped her and threw her out right away. Gu Mian fell to the ground. She was in so much pain that her eyes were brimming with tears. Even she was being treated so rudely. She really did not dare to imagine what kind of treatment Su Qianxun was being subjected to inside there!
