CHAPTER 206: CHAPTER 198 SHE’S PREGNANT 1

Jiang Dongting’s fingers held the pen steadily, and when He Nuoxin was mentioned, Li Yanan’s expression clearly darkened.

"The Li Family’s stock has been plummeting since the market opened this morning; when are you planning to take action?"

Avoiding the question about He Nuoxin, Li Yanan’s face finally softened a lot.

"Depends on the situation."

Jiang Dongting glanced at him.

"I’m waiting to see what reaction the Li Family will have."

Although the Li Family’s fortune seemed to be waning, Li Yanan still wanted to see if anyone could save the Li Family after Li Yingying.

His peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, his expression becoming intriguing...

Lin Zhenxin stayed in the bathroom for a long time without coming out.

In her hand was a still-unopened pregnancy test, which Yao Lemon had just run out to buy for her from the pharmacy at the entrance of the community.

She was very nervous now, her hands full of sweat.

"How is it? Is it done?" Yao Lemon was outside the door, also anxiously waiting.

"Not yet, wait a moment." Lin Zhenxin took a deep breath and finally opened the box of the pregnancy test...

Who knows how much time had passed.

Yao Lemon only heard a click as the bathroom door was opened from the inside.

Lin Zhenxin came out.

"Well, how is it? One line or two?" Yao Lemon widened her eyes, waiting for the news.

Lin Zhenxin did not speak.

"Come on, say something, you’re killing me with suspense!"

Yao Lemon was truly anxious, grabbing the pregnancy test from Lin Zhenxin’s hand.

She looked down and was delighted.

Although it was a very faint line, it was still two lines!

"You did it! You’re really pregnant!"

Yao Lemon was happier than anyone, but Lin Zhenxin still felt dizzy, a sense of unreality.

"Yesterday at the hospital, Li Chengze was chasing me; and besides, it’s so faint..."

"Wait, what do you mean Li Chengze was chasing you?" Yao Lemon was confused; how did it relate to the Li Family?

Lin Zhenxin briefly explained yesterday’s events to Yao Lemon, who immediately turned anxious upon hearing it.

"What nonsense!"

"Why don’t you come with me to the hospital for a check-up!"

Lin Zhenxin couldn’t feel at ease no matter what!

"Okay!" Yao Lemon agreed without hesitation!

Some were happy, some were worried.

At this moment, Li Chengze and the Li Family were in dire straits.

If the loss of the bid for that piece of land last time dealt a severe blow to the Li Family, then last night’s incident was fatal!

Li Chengze had rushed to the Li Family’s company early to explain to the board of directors, but from their expressions, it was clear that Li Chengze’s words did not convince them at all.

Moreover, Li Chengze’s face still bore the bruises from his fight with Li Yanan the previous day.

And on Li Yingying’s side, because two sets of remains needed to be sent to the forensic pathologist for examination, she was temporarily detained.

The brothers who usually called Li Chengze brotherly now couldn’t be relied on at all.

Not only could they not be relied on, but those people were desperately trying to distance themselves from Li Chengze and the Li Family.

The families that were usually on good terms with the Li Family were now all in a wait-and-see stance, reluctant to publicly express any support or assistance.

In just one night, Li Chengze tasted the cold and warmth of human relationships.

The board was putting heavy pressure on him, and no one was willing to lend a helping hand, and the results from the police investigation were also not favorable.

Not to mention, he had no idea about the origins of those two sets of remains.

Then the mental health institution where Li Miya was called to say that her condition had worsened.

All these pressures weighed on Li Chengze like a mountain.

When nerves are stretched to a certain point, things often head in one of two extremes.

Either there is a complete outburst that resolves the issue, or the entire person despondently succumbs!

The first type of outbreak would naturally be beneficial for the Li Family.

Yet, unfortunately, Li Chengze belonged to the second type.

When Tu Haohao found Li Chengze, he was already drunk in a private room at the bar.

This bar had shares of his, so even during the day, it would open its doors for him.

He was truly drunk.

Since returning to J City and being by Li Chengze’s side, she had never seen him like this.

As soon as she pushed the door open, she saw two women cozying up to him, smoking seductively.

She closed the door, walked to his side.

She knew, he didn’t want others to see him in this pitiful state.

No matter how incompetent others thought Li Chengze was, he still had his pride.

"You all get out!" Tu Haohao’s tone was cold, and her socialite aura was evident at this moment.

"Hah, stay here, don’t go anywhere!"

The two smoking women looked back and forth, not knowing what to choose.

"Is this the police? I’d like to report a brothel here!"

Without further ado, Tu Haohao picked up her phone and dialed a number, speaking into the call.

"You lunatic!" The two women instantly stubbed out their cigarettes, grabbed their bags, and left.

Once the room was left with only the two of them, Tu Haohao locked the door from the inside.

She walked in his direction.

Sitting quietly, watching Li Chengze’s painful expression, Tu Haohao tightly pressed her lips together.

She had pleaded with her mother, but her mother and grandfather took a firm stance, saying they would wait and see before taking action.

Even though she was still mad at Li Chengze for protecting He Nuoxin, he was someone she couldn’t let go of.

Tu Haohao could discern the severity of the situation.

"If you want to drink, then drink to your heart’s content, and then start fresh tomorrow." Tu Haohao didn’t try to persuade him, nor did she ask what had happened.

There was no need to ask, as today all the news outlets were reporting about the Li Family unearthing two sets of remains.

Li Chengze’s forehead veins throbbed, seemingly suppressing something.

The next second, he abruptly pulled Tu Haohao onto the sofa, the large shadow from above enveloping her.

Tu Haohao’s phone rolled onto the floor, displaying the number 10086.

"If you’re here to talk about breaking off the engagement, I agree immediately."

His voice couldn’t be distinguished as drunk or sober, but listening to it, Tu Haohao felt extremely sad.

"Let’s get married."

Li Chengze suddenly lowered his head to look at her; it was unclear if he was watching or glaring, just staring at Tu Haohao’s calm face.

"I have stolen the household registration booklet. Li Chengze, as long as you are willing, we can register our marriage tomorrow."

He thought that Tu Haohao must be insane to be saying such things!

"You’re crazy." The drunken Li Chengze shook his heavy head, unable to think of anything else to say.

Since the trouble with Li Yingying, everyone else was keeping as far away as possible, yet she had come up voluntarily.

"I’m not crazy. If you and I get married, the Tu Family wouldn’t possibly ignore the Li Family’s situation. Whether in verbal support or financial aid, I think the Li Family needs these! I know you don’t like me, but... you should at least consider my suggestion for the sake of your family."

Tu Haohao gathered her courage to speak, bravely meeting his gaze.

"I’ll pretend I didn’t hear anything..." Li Chengze’s words were cut off as Tu Haohao leaned forward and kissed him forcefully.

Before she had come, she had already thought it through; she had about three million in liquid funds that she could circulate, but for the Li Family...

It was simply a drop in the bucket.

"Tu Haohao..." Li Chengze looked down at the girl he had pushed onto the sofa.

"Li Chengze, I’ve never regretted the choices I’ve made; even if you don’t like me, even if you want to divorce me, I wouldn’t say a word against it!"

Even if the Li Family truly collapsed, there was still her...

"You just wait, don’t regret it!"

Two hours later.

Sitting in the hospital corridor, Lin Zhenxin twirled her fingers.

There were many people here for ultrasounds, Yao Lemon was busy running back and forth; now it was just her here.

Excited, nervous, feeling... like crying.

There was an indescribable mix of emotions in her heart.

Even though she had long stopped using contraception, after the intense confrontation in Danang, Vietnam, she never imagined...

That there would be a little one, with such a tenacious spirit of life.

Involuntarily she gently stroked her abdomen, taking a deep breath to suppress the urge to cry.

"Do you want to call Li Yanan?"

Yao Lemon sat down beside her.

"I’ll say after the check, in case it’s just a false alarm."

After all, the second line was so faint, what if it wasn’t?

Soon, it was Lin Zhenxin’s turn to enter the ultrasound room, while Yao Lemon stayed outside.

The doctor proficiently instructed her to relax and lie down.

It wasn’t long before Lin Zhenxin heard the doctor’s voice.

"The gestational sac is visible, but it’s still too early to see the fetal heart or bud, come back in two weeks."

After the slips were printed, the doctor handed them to Lin Zhenxin.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhenxin finally confirmed that she was indeed pregnant!

Inexplicably, her tears suddenly fell.

The doctor seemed accustomed to the joys and sorrows of pregnant women, glancing at her indifferently.

When she came out of the ultrasound room, upon seeing Yao Lemon, she immediately embraced her.

"Why are you still standing there dumbfounded, call Li Yanan!"

Yao Lemon saw the ultrasound slip and also became excited, this was incredible news!

Even more exciting than her own pregnancy.

"Forget it, I’ll tell him when he comes home tonight."

Lin Zhenxin cried and laughed, looked down at the ultrasound slip, which actually showed nothing much, yet she couldn’t part with it.

Suddenly, she seemed to remember something and glanced at the elevator.

Coincidentally, this was the same hospital where He Bainian was hospitalized.

Should she ask what exactly He Bainian told Yanan yesterday?

End of activity.

Clothes scattered on the ground.

Men’s and women’s garments mixed together.

Tu Haohao’s face was flushed red, breathing heavily, feeling as if her entire body had been soaked in water.

Carefully getting up, she picked up her clothes from the floor, cradling them in her arms.

This should be the craziest thing she had ever done!

Looking at Li Chengze, who was passed out on the sofa, Tu Haohao lay beside his arm, watching him attentively.

Doing this kind of thing, for her, was not as wonderful as she imagined.

While studying abroad, her roommate would bring a different man home every few weeks.

She once said this was the most wonderful thing in the world.

But for Tu Haohao, only when done with the right person could it truly be wonderful.
