After displaying their public affection, Ye Moxuan added, “My wife is so badly injured this time, so I will not let this matter slide.”
Lin Jiang almost passed out when he heard this. He would like to question Ye Moxuan on what he should do—his wife was in the emergency room, and it was unknown whether she was in any danger.
At that moment, the door of the emergency room suddenly opened, and a doctor walked out. “Which one of you are Shi Qinbao’s family members?”
No one answered him.
The doctor frowned. “Are Shi Qinbao’s family members here?”
Lin Jiang came to his senses and stepped forward. “Doctor, I am Qinbao’s husband.”
“Sir, your wife is bleeding heavily, so she has to give birth now. Could you please sign the consent form for the operation?”
Hearing that, Lin Jiang’s eyes widened suddenly. “‘Give birth now’? In that case, will the child be healthy?”
“Sir, it is still unknown whether the child can be delivered safely, but we will do our best. Please sign as soon as possible so that the time is not delayed.”
Lin Jiang took out a pen with trembling hands to sign.
In the end, he thought for a while and gritted his teeth. “Doctor, if possible, I would like to make a request!”
“What?” The doctor glanced at him.
Lin Jiang clenched his fists and looked as if he had made a big decision. “If both the mother and child are in danger, I hope that you can prioritize my child!”
The doctor was speechless upon hearing this, and so was Shen Qi.
Her eyes widened as she couldn’t imagine what she was hearing.
Lin Jiang actually told the doctor to prioritize the child. What about the mother? Does he not want his wife anymore?
Immediately, a chill ran down her spine as Shen Qi looked at the man whom she had been together for two years. She felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. It turned out that during the two years together, she had never understood this man. She didn’t expect him to be such scumbag. Not only was he ruthless, but he was also psychopathic.
Suddenly, Shen Qi began to feel sorry for Shi Qinbao. According to what she had told her, it seemed that she was also a pitiful woman who had been deceived by Lin Jiang.
She couldn’t help but scold him directly. “Lin Jiang, are you still a human?”
Hearing her question, Lin Jiang turned around and glanced at her. “Mind your own business. Qinbao is in there because of you! Stop pretending!”
Shen Qi sneered, “I’m sure you know better than me why she came to find me.”
Hearing her words, Lin Jiang suddenly felt guilty. He cowered and turned to the doctor. “Doctor, that’s all from me. Please do your best.”
However, unexpectedly, the doctor didn’t give him face and retorted, “Sir, the hospital has a written rule that states that the priority must be given to the mother when making a decision to save the mother’s life or the child’s.”
“What did you say?” Lin Jiang frowned. “What does this mean? What do you mean by ‘a written rule’? Isn’t this decision up to us? It has nothing to do with you!”
The doctor didn’t bother to talk to him anymore and turned around to enter the operating room. After the door closed, Lin Jiang still wanted to barge into it, resulting in a nurse coming up to him and blocking his way. “I’m sorry, sir. This is the emergency room. Please stop the ruckus now.”
Lin Jiang was furious as he pointed to the emergency room. “What do you mean by ‘the priority must be given to the mother’? Didn’t you hear that I want to keep my child? What can I do if my wife survives? I just want to protect my child so that it can carry on my family name!”
The nurse was a woman, and she really felt like punching him when she heard such sexist remarks, but she managed to resist this impulse due to her professionalism. In the end, she just said satirically, “Does your child need to inherit the throne?”
Hearing that, Lin Jiang was taken aback for a moment. “What?”
“If you don’t have a throne to inherit, can’t you give birth to another child in the future? Must this child be the one who carries on your family name? If it’s not a boy, don’t tell me that you don’t want it!”
Her words were very straightforward, and it happened to be what Lin Jiang was thinking precisely. Lin Jiang’s face turned pale upon hearing her words, and he pointed at her angrily. “Y-You—”
“She’s right.” Xiao Su stepped forward and stood in front of the nurse. “You are a man who doesn’t even want to protect your wife, and you even have the guts to say such words at this moment? What other women will dare to marry you in the future? How dare you even say that you want a child to carry on your family name? How much wealth does your family have?”
Seeing Xiao Su standing up for her, the nurse stared at him with a bright sparkle in her eyes.
When Shen Qi watched this scene unfold from the sidelines, she shook her head helplessly, not expecting Lin Jiang to be such a person.
“Do you suddenly feel that you were blind to actually fall in love with such a jerk?”
A deep voice rang in her ears. Shen Qi immediately returned to her senses and realized that she was still lying in Ye Moxuan’s arms.
She lowered her eyes. “Indeed. I did choose the wrong man before.”
She never knew Lin Jiang was such a person. She pursed her lips and whispered, “You can let me go now. Thank you for everything just now.”
Ye Moxuan didn’t let her go; instead, he smirked. “If you want to thank me, you’ll have to show me your actions.”
“What?”
She raised her eyes and looked at him in confusion. At such a close distance, Ye Moxuan noticed that there were a few scratches on her fair cheeks—Shen Qi was going to have scars on her face in the future.
Damn it!
Ye Moxuan raised his hand and gently stroked her face with his slightly rough fingertips as his gaze became even more profound. “I will definitely make them pay. Let’s deal with the wounds first.”
“No!” Shen Qi shook her head. “You heard it yourself just now. The doctor is carrying out an emergency operation. I have to stay here to see what’s going on.”
“With Xiao Su staying here, are you still afraid of not getting the latest news about the situation?”
Shen Qi didn’t know what to reply.
It seemed that he was right—the way Xiao Su handled matters was indeed reassuring.
“But—” While she was still hesitating, Ye Moxuan had already raised his hand to push his wheelchair. Before she could react, Ye Moxuan had already led her away after leaving some instructions to Xiao Su.
“Stay here to watch the progress, and report to me immediately if anything comes up.”
Xiao Su looked at their departing figures and nodded. “Yes, Young Master Ye!”
When Lin Jiang saw this, he wanted to catch up to them.”Shen Qi, come back here! Are you going to leave just like that after hurting Qinbao?”
An arm blocked him immediately, and Xiao Su stared at him coldly. “It’s still unclear who is responsible for the injuries. Now that I’m here, you are not allowed to go anywhere, and you are definitely forbidden to disturb Second Young Master and Second Young Lady!”
Lin Jiang stood rooted to the ground. He was livid, but he could do nothing in this current situation.
Meanwhile, Shen Qi was taken away directly by Ye Moxuan. Due to the fact that he was sitting in a wheelchair with Shen Qi sitting on his lap, the weird scene had attracted many people’s attention, making Shen Qi feel embarrassed. She suggested, “I’ll get down and walk. Let me push you instead.”
“You are hurt,” Ye Moxuan said, ignoring her.
“My injuries are not serious.”
“They are very serious.”
Shen Qi replied, “I can still walk.”
“Shut up.” Ye Moxuan’s suddenly stopped and looked at her lips. “If you speak again, I will kiss you right here.”
Shen Qi’s eyes widened in horror, and at the next second, she stretched out her hand to cover her mouth.
Fine, I’ll shut up.
