Xiaolin knew the situation was bad and prepared to see if the car could still be driven.
But a stylish young woman got out of the car that had hit them, knocked on their car door, and said as if she were in the right, "How do you drive? You've damaged my new car like this! Get out, are you going to call the police immediately, or settle it privately?"
"Call the police!" Xiaolin said the two words concisely, then started the car.
He didn't intend to get entangled with this woman. He let the bodyguard next to him get out to handle the traffic accident with the woman and rushed to get Susu to the hospital.
The bodyguard sitting next to him immediately got out of the car, pushed the woman blocking their car aside, and said, "Hurry up and call the police. I'll wait for the police with you."
Xiaolin took the opportunity to drive to the hospital immediately.
Susu lay in the back of the car, feeling her stomach hurt more and more. She didn't know if the children would be alright, feeling both panicked and nervous.
She was supposed to go to the hospital to await delivery, but now, were the children going to be born prematurely?
Xiaolin drove the car with its dented front to the hospital's emergency lane and shouted at the nurse at the entrance, "There's a pregnant woman in the car who's about to give birth. Hurry up!"
Another bodyguard in the car tried to help Susu out of the car, but Susu could barely walk by herself. She felt a downward pressure accompanied by her water breaking.
Two nurses at the entrance, one helped Susu, and the other brought over an emergency bed.
When Susu lay on the emergency bed, she was still conscious and grabbed a nurse's hand, saying, "You must save my two children!"
The nurse comforted her, "Don't be nervous, take a deep breath, everything will be alright."
...
At this time, a high-society tea party was being held at the old Lu family mansion.
Lu Yuanhong had recently bought half a pound of sky-high priced tea and invited a few socialites to taste the tea and chat.
He and a few socialites of similar age were discussing the history and origins of tea ceremony.
Xiaomei walked over gently with his phone and said cautiously, "Sir, your phone call."
Lu Yuanhong rose gracefully, told the others he was going to take a call, and then took the phone from Xiaomei.
"What is it?"
The other party said in a low voice, "We hit their car. That woman seems to have sustained minor injuries and should be giving birth soon. But she was still sent to the hospital by the driver and bodyguard accompanying her."
Lu Yuanhong walked towards the study and said coldly, "Seems like, should be! How could I have raised such a bunch of useless people like you!"
"No, Mr. Lu, that woman is definitely injured, otherwise she wouldn't say she was giving birth and be sent to the emergency room."
"Then, did she give birth or not?" Lu Yuanhong raised his voice and asked.
The other party stammered for a long time and said with trepidation, "It's still unclear."
Lu Yuanhong's tone was already unpleasant, saying, "I don't care if you're clear or not, and I don't care if the children in her belly can be born. She must never leave the hospital alive!"
After speaking, he hung up the phone, walked into the study, and closed the door forcefully.
Qin Tianyi, who had been standing in the hallway, heard Lu Yuanhong's words and immediately wondered if something had happened to Susu.
He had a feeling that Lu Yuanhong's question about whether she had given birth or could give birth was related to Susu, and he couldn't help but feel anxious. Could Susu be in trouble now?
"Aban, Aban!" Amei called him twice before he reacted.
"Miss Amei, what is it?"
Amei asked curiously, "What were you thinking just now? Can you help me move something?"
Qin Tianyi, thinking of Susu and the children being in danger, could no longer suppress his inner panic and said, "Miss Amei, please find someone else. I suddenly have an upset stomach. I'm going to find someone to switch shifts now."
Amei looked at him with concern, wanting to ask him what exactly was wrong with his stomach, but he had already covered his stomach and hurried away down the corridor.
"Hey, I have medicine for diarrhea here..." she said to his retreating back, but he seemed not to hear at all and had already disappeared at the end of the corridor, heading towards the basement where the bodyguards lived.
Qin Tianyi arrived at an empty single room in the basement and closed the door. Without further ado, he took out the phone card he had used to contact Su Kangxi in an emergency, inserted it into his phone, and sent several messages to Su Kangxi.
A moment later, Su Kangxi replied, "Don't worry, I'll ask Sister Susu right away if anything has happened to her."
Qin Tianyi could only wait for his news, holding his phone tightly, filled with worry.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Another bodyguard spoke from outside, "Aban, are you inside?"
He replied, "Yes."
"Why are you locking the door in broad daylight? Open it."
"Is something wrong? My stomach is uncomfortable. I didn't close the bathroom door, so I closed the room door," Qin Tianyi said, to avoid arousing suspicion from others.
"Oh, it's nothing. Miss Amei asked me to give you a box of medicine. I'll leave it at the door." The bodyguard then left.
Qin Tianyi responded with a "yes" and glanced at his phone screen again. Su Kangxi hadn't replied yet.
...
After Susu was pushed to the obstetrics and gynecology department by the emergency room nurses, the obstetrician immediately examined her. Her water had broken, but the positions of the two babies in her womb were still not right. They were in breech presentation, making a vaginal birth very difficult.
Seeing that she was still conscious, the doctor told her that she would likely have to be taken to the operating room immediately for a Cesarean section.
She endured the waves of severe pain that began to spread through her back and said, "Okay, as long as the children can be saved, I'll undergo any surgery."
The doctor hurriedly asked her, "Where are your family members? Who is your family member? A Cesarean section requires a family member's signature."
The pain in her back, which felt like it was about to split open, made it almost impossible for her to speak. She gritted her teeth and pointed outside, "There are people... outside. They, they can sign... sign?"
"The nurse just asked. They are not your family members, so they cannot sign." Seeing her deteriorating condition, the doctor said, "Quickly call a family member. We need a direct relative, preferably parents or husband."
Susu took another deep breath in pain, and the only person she could think of was Shu Zhongze. She said, "Ask the person who brought me here to call Shu Zhongze and have him come to sign... sign..."
Before she could finish speaking, she fainted from the pain.
The doctor said to the nurses beside her, "You go notify the people outside to contact her family. You prepare all the surgical supplies. As soon as her family member comes to sign, begin the surgery."
After arranging the nurses in the delivery room, the doctor quickly pinched Susu's philtrum to bring her back to consciousness, put her on a ventilator, and encouraged her in her ear, "If you want the babies in your womb to be alright, you must hold on now and not faint. Your water has already broken, and the babies in your womb will be oxygen-deprived."
Susu regained consciousness again. Hearing the doctor's words, she kept taking deep breaths, preventing herself from falling unconscious again.
During this period, the Shu Group was in dire straits. To avoid the entanglement of shareholders and directors in the company, Shu Zhongze hid in another private villa in the suburbs of Lancheng.
