373 372: PROTECT OR NOT PROTECT?

It had to be said that Zheng Qiu was really thinking too much.

At first glance, she thought that this person was an arrogant and cold big sister. However, upon closer contact, she would discover that this person was naive and did not fit her style at all. He, Lu Yichen, was a married man and had his own wife... How could it be said that he did not dislike her? Some things happened, so it happened. How could she pretend that it did not happen?

She was really thinking too much. If Lu Yichen wanted to get a divorce, would he have waited until now?

Seeing Lu Yichen walk in, she hurriedly asked, "Lu Yichen, what did the doctor say?"

Lu Yichen's face was cold as he looked at the thin, pale and helpless Mei Zi on the hospital bed. He frowned. "The doctor said that it's very difficult to protect this child. Even if it's temporarily preserved, it can face miscarriage at any time. Moreover, it's very difficult to reach full term. There will also be danger during childbirth. It's recommended that the pregnancy be terminated."

Zheng Qiu was confused when she heard that. She was stunned for a moment before she asked in a daze, "What do you mean, terminate the pregnancy?"

Lu Yichen looked at her coldly and said somewhat irritably, "Abort the child now."

"What?"

Zheng Qiu was so scared that she couldn't help but shout. Then, she covered her mouth and looked at Lu Yichen in a daze. Then, she looked at Mei Zi who was lying on the hospital bed.

She muttered, "How could this be? How could this be--"

Then, she immediately asked, "Can't... can't she keep it?"

This time, Lu Yichen didn't even look at her. He stood there and stared at the person on the bed. He said faintly, "Mei Zi's constitution isn't good. Her body is too weak. The doctor said it's very difficult."

When Zheng Qiu heard that, she sat down dejectedly. That's right, Mei Zi's body was indeed not good. She had always been sick in the past. Moreover, no one cared about her. No one took care of her. She, she did not even have enough to eat...

It was hard to believe, right? No matter what, her father was still a public servant. How much could a little girl like her eat? However, heh, in this world, if you have a stepmother, you have a stepfather. What was there to say?

When it came to using her, he did not hesitate to push her into the pit of fire and exchange her for benefits. Who cared if she died or not?

However, when she thought about aborting the child in her stomach, Zheng Qiu was still very conflicted. This was because the current medical technology was not very good. Some people could not get pregnant after having an abortion.

Coincidentally, she had that one person by her side. Now, she did not regret it to death. Zheng Qiu was in a dilemma. Should she save the child or not?

Save the child. If the child was born, would Lu Yichen accept it? If she did not save the child, if the child was not born in the future, this would be--

Zheng Qiu was so anxious that she rubbed her hands together. Just as she was in a dilemma, Lu Yichen's cold voice was heard. "Prepare Mei Zi for the surgery immediately."

"What?"

Zheng Qiu almost blurted out. Her big eyes looked at Lu Yichen in disbelief. Lu Yichen turned his head and looked at her coldly. "Prepare Mei Zi for the surgery. I'll go find a doctor right now and get the surgery as soon as possible."

When Zheng Qiu heard that, she immediately shouted, "No--"

Lu Yichen looked at her coldly. Zheng Qiu immediately felt her mouth dry up. After a long while, she said, "That, that, that surgery is risky. I, I know someone. She, she is... in the end, she can not have another child."

"Mei Zi, Mei Zi's body is weak. In the future, it will be difficult for her to have another one. Lu Yichen, let's, let's wait for Mei Zi to wake up and ask her..."

When Lu Yichen heard this, his face turned black. "Ask what? What's there to ask? I said I'm going to have a surgery, so I'm going to have a surgery. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Lu Yichen's cold face was not something an ordinary person could endure. Sure enough, Zheng Qiu was so frightened that her face turned pale. She bit her lower lip and could not speak.

Lu Yichen turned around to leave, but the moment he turned around, his lapel was pulled. Lu Yichen frowned and looked over. He saw that the girl named Mei Zi had a pale face. Even her lips were not red. However, her eyes were unusually determined.

"No... stay... stay... please..."

Her voice was as thin as a thread and could break at any moment. It was weightless and she could not even speak clearly. Even so, she still looked at Lu Yichen with determination. She wanted to protect this child. She wanted to hold her child...

Lu Yichen naturally understood the message that Mei Zi had conveyed. When he heard her, he frowned and said in a gentle voice, "Mei Zi, you can't protect this child."

At this moment, Mei Zi's tears started to fall again. Her voice sounded weak. "No... Brother Chen... Brother Chen, I beg... I beg you."

Lu Yichen's body was so cold that it felt like he could freeze to death. He stared at Mei Zi without blinking and tried his best to make his voice sound gentle. "Mei Zi, your body can't hold on."

"You can't keep him. Mei Zi, I can't just watch you..."

Before she could finish, the girl called Mei Zi clenched her hands tightly. Her eyes were filled with hope and pleading.

Her large eyes seemed to be able to speak. Lu Yichen clenched his fists tightly as he watched her.

"Chen... Brother Chen, I... I know that you... can..."

...

Kang Xiaoqiao had no idea what was going on here. She was sitting in the car and her eyes were filled with tears. Other than the white snow, there was only white snow.

The coldness seemed to reflect the sadness in her heart. Her tears fell like they were free.

At this moment, a handkerchief appeared in front of her. Kang Xiaoqiao took it and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you."

Then, a gentle and magnetic male voice replied, "You're welcome!"

Then, as they drove, he said in a relaxed tone, "What happened? Who provoked you to this extent?"

Kang Xiaoqiao did not say a word and pouted angrily.

When that person saw this, he smiled helplessly and said calmly, "Let me guess--"

He stared at the road ahead and said with a smile, "Lu Yichen--"

When Kang Xiaoqiao heard this, she became even angrier. "I don't want to hear his name, I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it--"

The driver was none other than Tao Zhengze, who had not appeared for a long time. When he saw Kang Xiaoqiao cover her face and shout excitedly, he immediately comforted her. "Okay, okay, okay, I won't say it, I won't say it, I won't say it..."

"Little grandaunt, stop shouting. My eardrums have been pierced through by you."

Kang Xiaoqiao stopped shouting this time. Her tears fell like a waterfall. She sobbed as she wiped her tears.

Tao Zhengze looked at the sad Kang Xiaoqiao and frowned. "Let's not talk about him. Then, can you tell me where we are going?"

Kang Xiaoqiao looked at her with red eyes and said with a nasal voice, "Whatever. It's the same wherever we go."

Tao Zhengze said with an exaggerated expression, "No way, it's really okay to go anywhere? Aren't you afraid that I'll sell it to you?"

Kang Xiaoqiao pouted and sobbed. She said seriously, "Sell it then. But I have to remind you that with my precious body, you won't lose money if you sell it."

Pfft--
