The Bumpy Road of Marriage: The Ex-Wife Is Expecting

Qiao Yaruan wanted to speak up for Chu Ningyi. After all, she was now supportive of Chu Ningyi. However, based on the look on Shui Anluo’s face, she was momentarily unsure of what to say.

The words ‘how can that woman be a match for Eldest Chu?’ must have come from Feng Feng. She recognized Feng Feng’s voice.

Qiao Yaruan felt angry. Indeed, no matter where she went, she would always be plagued by that man’s shadow.

Shui Anluo was trembling. She clenched her fists so tightly that the fine veins on the back of her hand became visible. This was the man who had told her that he truly wants to court her yet he had clearly known that someone wanted to hurt her father and had chosen to watch.

Anger, heartache, and an unrestrained hatred rushed to the top of her heart.

The people inside were still trying to save him. Could this all have been avoided if Chu Ningyi had used a different method from the start? However, their conversation made one thing quite clear to Shui Anluo, her father’s hospitalization had definitely not resulted from her action in angering him. Instead, it was all due to An Jiahui’s manipulation.

Shui Anluo felt like a string that has been stretched taut. If anything were to happen during the emergency procedure, this string would completely snap.

“Luoluo, are you alright?” Qiao Yaruan asked softly and reached out to hold her hand which was tightly clenched.

Shui Anluo shook. Her eyes darted continuously towards the ward.

“Empress Dowager, am I that silly to think that he truly is trying to help me? I never thought that he had done all this solely for the purpose of acquiring Soaring Distance Technologies.” Shui Anluo chuckled but her voice sounded as if she was sobbing. “To someone like Chu Ningyi, there’s probably no such thing as meat that can’t be eaten.” Though Soaring Distance Technologies might not be on the same grand scale as the Chu Group, it was still a company with its own achievements.

“Luoluo, why don’t you just ask Chu Ningyi yourself? I think there must be some kind of mistake. Besides, we don’t even know who sent this audio recorder pen.” Qiao Yaruan said urgently.

“Regardless of who the sender was, Chu Ningyi was definitely the person who was speaking in there. There’s no mistake.” Shui Anluo gritted her teeth as she spoke. Her eyes spoke of an indescribable hatred.

Qiao Yaruan opened her mouth again but she did not know what else she could say. She only hoped that Chu Ningyi would hurry up and provide an explanation for all of this.

It was afternoon when the old specialist finally emerged. Shui Anluo had kept her head down as she sat on the stool. When the door opened, she jumped up immediately. “Is my father alright?”

“He’s far from danger for now. However, I suspect that he may have taken the wrong medication which had caused the heart attack.” The old specialist stared and her as she replied.

‘Taken the wrong medication?’

‘Did An Jiahui switch father’s medication?’

After Shui Anluo thanked the specialist, she walked to the window and observed the person inside. The woman he had trusted all his life had actually wanted to take his life instead. ‘ Shui Moyun, oh, Shui Moyun. What a waste of your intellect. In the end, you’re trapped in the hands of a woman.’

“Yaruan, do a full-body check-up for my father. I want to examine the report,” said Shui Anluo as she leaned her forehead against the glass.

“What’re you going to do?” Qiao Yaruan felt a little worried at the sight of Shui Anluo in this state.

“I had initially only wanted to get an apology for my mother but since this is how she wants to play it, I’ll sue her to the very bottom of the barrel.” Shui Anluo gritted her teeth as she spoke. Her hands were balled into fists as she slammed them onto the glass.

Qiao Yaruan stared darkly at Shui Anluo. This was completely different from the silly girl that she knew.

“Alright, I’ll do it,” said Qiao Yaruan. “I’m going out to buy you something to eat.”
