He Junshu had been staying here for the past few days. Madam He's health had gradually improved. With her daughter back, her spirits were better each day, and she smiled more and more.
Jiang Nuan also spared no effort in refining some medicinal pills with minimal side effects for the elderly lady.
However, given her advanced age, Jiang Nuan had also controlled the dosage.
The elderly lady's mindset was crucial. After taking her pulse a few days prior, Jiang Nuan felt that her pulse had become much stronger.
This was a cause for celebration.
She told He Junshu, who was also very happy.
As the couple went downstairs, they saw He Junshu busy in the living room. She was never one to sit idle and was always organizing things.
The entire house was clean and tidy.
Mu Jiuchen looked at his mother. At this moment, it truly felt like home.
He mostly worked from home, which put him in a particularly good mood.
Mu Jiuchen: "Mom, Nuan Nuan and I are going to Mingrun's place. We'll be back later."
He Junshu smiled and nodded: "Okay! Be careful on your way. How were the children's exams?"
She was waiting here, eager to know the results of the children's exams.
Jiang Nuan smiled and said: "Mom, they all got perfect scores."
He Junshu was extremely surprised. "Nuan Nuan, they are truly amazing!"
He Junshu really liked those three little ones, but she regretted not having seen Shaoqing yet.
Jiang Nuan smiled with pride. She always felt happy hearing such words.
"Hurry up and go. Come back early and have Mingrun come home for dinner tomorrow," He Junshu urged them, as it was getting late.
He had also heard about his elder brother's situation, reflecting on the myriad of life's circumstances. The fact that both of them could be swapped was something she could never have imagined. Shen Bing was a good woman, and she hoped her elder brother would bring her back.
"Okay, Mom."
The two went directly to the garage to drive.
After getting into the car, Mu Jiuchen said: "Meng Yuan returning at this time, did she find out something we don't know?"
Jiang Nuan: "Yes! It's likely."
Mu Jiuchen glanced at her, smiling gently. "I also have some news to tell you. Li Qingfeng was sentenced to death, and Mu Yunlei received a prison sentence. His mother ran off with the money after learning about it."
Jiang Nuan sneered. "Mu Yunlei schemed his entire life, only to be trapped by himself in the end. The outcome is quite satisfactory."
"Yes, especially since he schemed against me my whole life," Mu Jiuchen said with a hint of coldness in his voice. With Mu Yunlei gone, who knew who would be next.
The night was somewhat dense. It hadn't snowed in the past two days, but the weather had grown colder. It was likely nearing the end of the year, and many people were returning to their hometowns for the New Year. The number of pedestrians and vehicles on the road was much less than usual.
The journey was unimpeded, and they arrived downstairs at He Mingrun's house in twenty minutes.
After parking the car, the two went upstairs.
At He Mingrun's doorstep, he had just finished bathing when he heard the doorbell.
He wondered who would be at his home at this hour.
He clicked on the video feed and saw no one outside.
He was a little puzzled, and a glimmer of surprise suddenly flashed in his eyes. Was it Yuan Yuan?
She had said she would give him a surprise.
He Mingrun excitedly opened the door and saw Yang Minjing hiding to the side. His face instantly darkened.
"Why is it you? What are you doing here?" his tone was very cold.
Yang Minjing had been waiting for this day for a long time.
He Mingrun was unwilling to see her, and she couldn't corner him anywhere else, so she had to come to his home to intercept him.
Seeing it was her, He Mingrun would definitely not open the door for her. She had to stand in the blind spot, where He Mingrun couldn't see her, for him to open the door.
Yang Minjing looked at the angry He Mingrun, feeling a bit of remorse: "Mingrun, I have something to tell you."
She tightly clutched the lab report in her hand, excited and nervous. This was her last trump card.
He Mingrun sneered: "But I don't have time to listen to you."
He Mingrun turned to close the door.
Yang Minjing said anxiously: "He Mingrun, I'm pregnant."
He Mingrun froze, looking at Yang Minjing in surprise, forgetting even to close the door.
"What did you say?" He Mingrun was stunned.
At the same time, not far away, several reporters approached and began snapping photos as soon as they saw the two.
Simultaneously, behind the reporters stood Meng Yuan.
"He Mingrun, I... I'm pregnant." Yang Minjing, seeing that the reporters had appeared, couldn't help but repeat it aggrievedly.
He Mingrun's head buzzed. How was this possible?
How could such a thing happen to him, He Mingrun?
"Young Master He, Miss Yang is pregnant. When are you planning to get married? There were rumors a while ago that the two of you were close to announcing good news. We've been waiting until now. Young Master He, please give us a specific date. A marriage between two prominent families is a good thing!"
"Yes, Young Master He, when are you getting married?"
"Congratulations, Young Master He, on becoming a father."
The reporters spoke volubly.
He Mingrun finally reacted and heard what he had heard.
Yang Minjing said she was pregnant.
And she had pulled this stunt again, bringing so many media personnel with her.
His cold gaze fell upon Yang Minjing.
Yang Minjing always had a bad feeling about this. She was making a final gamble. If she won, she would truly win He Mingrun.
"Yang Minjing, you've schemed so much. Is this your last move?"
"I absolutely did not touch you. Where did you get this child from?"
Behind the reporters, Meng Yuan, who had finally realized what was happening, sadly left with her suitcase.
The sound of the suitcase wheels rolling reached He Mingrun's ears. He saw the familiar back, and his pupils trembled. It was Yuan Yuan.
"Yuan Yuan, don't go." He Mingrun pushed aside the reporters and chased after her.
Seeing the girl who had become much thinner, he held her from behind with heartache. "Yuan Yuan, please don't go, okay?"
Meng Yuan's eyes welled up with tears. She missed him dearly. She had changed her flight, wanting to give him a surprise, but he was the one giving her a surprise first.
"Let go of me." Meng Yuan was furious. Didn't he say he hadn't touched Yang Minjing?
Now, with a child on the way, Yang Minjing was at his door. This damned He Mingrun had truly disappointed her.
"I won't let go. Yuan Yuan, I will never let go of you, even if I die. If you're leaving, take me with you. Wherever you go, I will follow. Without you, I'm going crazy." He Mingrun whispered in her ear.
"Yuan Yuan, listen to my explanation. I really didn't touch her that night. The child she's carrying isn't mine either..."
"Mingrun, how could you do this to me? If you say these words, are you being fair to the child in my womb?"
Yang Minjing never dreamed that Meng Yuan would appear so promptly.
This was great. Tonight was truly a case of killing two birds with one stone.
It would make Meng Yuan completely give up on He Mingrun. She hadn't been able to find Meng Yuan's whereabouts at all. This woman had been hiding quite well for over a month, and even He Mingrun couldn't find her, so she hadn't bothered.
He Mingrun held Meng Yuan tightly and turned to roar at Yang Minjing: "Shut up!"
Yang Minjing bit her lower lip, looking at him with a wronged expression.
The reporters, witnessing this unexpected development, felt that their trip tonight was not in vain.
This kind of dramatic third-party entanglement in a wealthy romance was the most popular.
Yang Minjing said angrily: "I'm carrying your child, and you're telling me to shut up?"
"Hmph! On that night, He Mingrun never touched you."
From not far away, a cold and indifferent voice sounded.
