She thought about it and still felt reluctant to give up on the child, but she still had to see Song Jiaping again and hear his advice.
Last time, because Tianyi had taken a dislike to him, she hadn't asked much.
But she didn't want to face the decision of whether to keep the child too soon, so she thought there was no need for frequent check-ups, and it wouldn't matter if she went to Song Jiaping a few days later.
...
In the conference room of the Huangfu Group, several renowned professional lawyers gave Huangfu Sisong some professional opinions.
But everyone's statements were similar; Zhan Jiayi's lawsuit this time had attracted the attention of higher-ups.
Because Xie Zhendong had signed a preservation agreement in advance, it concerned the livelihood of Lancheng.
Job opportunities, shareholder interests... these were not handled well by the Huangfu Group during the bankruptcy proceedings.
Therefore, the court would be ninety percent likely to favor Zhan Jiayi's lawsuit, and it seemed that the Xie Group could not continue with the bankruptcy proceedings.
After the professional lawyers left, Huangfu Shishu anxiously asked, "Big Brother, that woman is truly formidable. What should we do now?"
"If she wants Xie Group to undergo restructuring, then let it restructure. Our majority shares in Xie Group will not change, and we will have absolute say in the restructuring." Huangfu Sisong was furious; Zhan Jiayi had ruined his plan like this.
Their Huangfu Group was destined to lose this lawsuit. He could only settle for the next best thing and control Xie Group through restructuring.
Huangfu Shishu also understood. He hadn't expected Zhan Jiayi to have such a preservation agreement from the group, which could only terminate the bankruptcy of Xie Group.
Huangfu Sisong asked him to come closer and whispered his new plan in his ear, thinking that even if Xie Group was restructured, it wouldn't have a chance to recover and could only be completely controlled by them.
Huangfu Shishu nodded repeatedly, feeling that his elder brother's strategy was brilliant.
...
One day, Susu was in her office discussing the design proposal for a brand's clothing line for the next quarter with Xu Shishi.
She suddenly felt a dull ache in her abdomen and didn't know what was wrong. Had she eaten something bad?
She paused her conversation with Shishi and got up to go to the restroom, but her abdomen spasmed noticeably. She immediately clutched her stomach and sat back down.
Shishi noticed something was wrong and quickly asked, "Sister Gu, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
The spasm was followed by pain, and Susu felt a familiar sensation surge through her. She quickly told Shishi, "I, I think I'm going to miscarry... Take me to the hospital..."
"Ah, Sister Gu, you're pregnant? When did that happen?" Shishi also asked in a panic.
Susu couldn't explain to her now. She gave the name and location of Song Jiaping's hospital and said, "Hurry and take me."
"Okay, okay." Shishi helped Susu up and they hurried out of the office.
On the way, Susu felt a strong downward pressure in her abdomen, as if something was gushing out. She was in so much pain she almost fainted.
"Blood! Sister Gu, there's blood on your leg!"
Before she lost consciousness, Susu seemed to hear Shishi's startled cry.
When she woke up again, the glaring golden sunlight made it difficult for her to open her eyes, and the air was filled with the faint smell of disinfectant.
She moved slightly, and Tianyi, who had fallen asleep by the bedside, also woke up.
As soon as Tianyi saw her eyes open, he immediately pressed the call button by the bed.
"How do you feel?"
Susu felt very weak and smiled at him, "I'm alright. Child, is the child gone?"
Tianyi nodded and said with a pained expression, "Do you know how dangerous you were yesterday! You were bleeding profusely, almost losing your life. Fortunately, Dr. Song managed to stop the bleeding."
"But I didn't feel anything unusual before this. I was planning to see Dr. Song in a few days..." Susu's nose felt sore, and she bit her lip, unable to continue.
At this moment, Song Jiaping entered the ward and examined her. He said, "Fortunately, there's no more bleeding, so it's not a major problem. You can be discharged and go home after a few days of rest in the hospital."
Tianyi quickly asked, "Are you sure she's no longer in danger?"
"Fortunately, the scar from your previous C-section did not rupture, and the D&C was very thorough. Once the bleeding stops, there will be no issues," Song Jiaping said with certainty.
"Thank you." Tianyi finally let go of his prejudice against him and thanked him sincerely.
Song Jiaping said lightly, "This is what I should do." He then looked at Susu and smiled gently, "Don't think too much about it, just rest well."
Susu hummed, but the thought of losing the child brought tears to her eyes.
Only when Tianyi learned that she was absolutely fine did the stone in his heart truly fall. He had wanted to ask her why she hadn't seen a doctor sooner.
But seeing the tears in her eyes, he couldn't bring himself to blame her. He said softly, "Do you want some water?"
He poured her some water and gently helped her sit up a little, letting her drink some first. He said, "Don't be sad. Just consider that child and us as having no fate. Besides, Dr. Song also told me yesterday that sometimes a natural miscarriage occurs because the embryo has congenital defects, which is also a form of natural selection."
Susu knew he was comforting her, and she felt a little better, no longer so sad. She said with a smile through her tears, "It seems you and Dr. Song get along quite well. Even your words of comfort are so full of medical knowledge."
Tianyi had her lie down, held her hand, and said earnestly, "Do you know, yesterday when I received the news and rushed to the hospital, I was truly terrified. My legs were weak..."
Susu could imagine how frightened he must have been, and she would have been the same.
She reached out her other hand and held his hand as well, saying, "I'm sorry, it was my carelessness. I always thought that after having three children, even if there was some risk this time, it wouldn't be a big deal."
Tianyi pulled his hand away and then leaned down to hug her shoulders tightly. "You silly woman, when will you stop making me worry so much?"
Susu hugged him back, "I'm sorry, it won't happen again. I won't be so careless in the future."
They comforted each other for a while, and both felt a little better.
Susu couldn't help but ask, "Where's Shishi? Fortunately, she brought me here."
"When I arrived at the hospital, I saw she was also quite scared, worried that something would happen to you, and waited with me outside the operating room," Tianyi said. "Later, Huo Zheng also came and took her away."
"Then use my phone to send them a message saying I'm fine now, so they don't worry."
"Okay." Tianyi took out her phone, found Xu Shishi's number, and sent a message.
Soon, Xu Shishi replied. Tianyi showed Susu the reply and said, "Don't worry about anything else. Close your eyes and sleep for a while. It's not easy to recover from so much blood loss."
Susu indeed felt tired and sleepy again. She obediently closed her eyes and fell asleep.
...
Huo Zheng, sleeping soundly on his stomach, was woken up by Xu Shishi sending messages nearby.
He moved impatiently, reached out an arm to pull Xu Shishi closer, and said with his eyes closed, "What time is it? Can't you sleep a little longer?"
