Sasha waited for a while, but there was still no response from the other end of the phone.
She quickly said, "Mom, I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't ask these things. Just pretend I never asked anything, and take care of yourself..."
"What you saw online is all true. Your father-in-law wants his illegitimate child to inherit the Xie family in the future and has already decided to abandon Qi Ning and his own grandson." Feng Rou didn't hesitate to tell her.
"Ah! How can Dad do this? Has that woman completely bewitched him?" Sasha was also angered by what she heard.
"Who said not? The old man is truly insane!" Feng Rou was even more agitated than Sasha.
Sasha quickly calmed down and said, "Mom, don't get worked up. Tell me the whole story in detail, and I'll help you figure out a solution."
Feng Rou was looking for someone to confide in, and it was rare to find someone who completely stood on her side.
So, she recounted how she and Xie Huibing went to see Zhan Jiayi, the old lady's attitude, and how Xie Zhendong protected Zhan Jiayi...
After hearing what Feng Rou said, Sasha realized that the only way to solve all the problems was to prevent the woman from having a child.
"Mom, according to what you said, you also have a share in the apartment's ownership. Since Dad and that woman aren't living in the apartment now, where are they staying?"
"This, this..." Sasha's question stumped her. "If they're not in the apartment, the old man can always find a place to stay. They can stay in hotels or other properties."
"Mom, you still need to find out clearly," Sasha said. "If we know where that woman is staying, it will be easier to act."
"Act? No need. Huibing and I just wanted to abort her child, but that woman is too cunning and won't fall for it easily."
"Second Sister's method is too, too direct and bound to fail. It will only give them leverage." Sasha actually wanted to say it was too stupid, but considering Xie Huibing was Feng Rou's daughter, she was afraid of upsetting her and chose to phrase it more tactfully.
"Do you have any ideas?"
"Do you know about those small gynecology clinics? Doctors in small clinics will do anything for money."
Feng Rou immediately understood and said, "You mean to tie her up and force an abortion?"
"Yes, you should first find out where she's staying and discreetly monitor her. When Dad isn't around, quietly grab her, and once the surgery is done, everything will be resolved." Sasha reminded her, "This must be done without a sound, so that woman doesn't get a chance to retaliate."
Feng Rou felt that this move was too cruel and asked, "Are the doctors in those small clinics skilled?"
"It doesn't matter if their skills are good or bad, as long as they can abort the child in her womb. Whether it harms her body or not is irrelevant." Sasha felt that Feng Rou was too indecisive when she needed to be ruthless, and this personality trait was fatal.
"That's true."
Sasha feared that Feng Rou might waver and show mercy, so she said, "If it's possible to harm her in the process, making her unable to conceive again, wouldn't that be even better? Then you'll have no worries. You must not be soft-hearted."
"Yes, you're right! I won't give up so easily." Feng Rou's previous sadness and distress vanished, replaced by the thought that Sasha's method was excellent.
She couldn't help but harden her heart.
Fearing further mistakes, Sasha said, "Mom, first find out clearly, hire the right people, and contact me anytime if anything comes up."
Feng Rou hadn't expected that the Sasha Qi Ning later married would be so capable, much better than Lan Yu.
Thinking back now, Xie Qi Ning's current situation was all Lan Yu's fault; Lan Yu was a jinx!
...
After Xiao Xingxing was discharged from the hospital, as per the doctor's instructions, Susu gave the child anti-infective medication on time every day.
He no longer had a fever and appeared to have recovered.
Tianyi sent the two diagnostic reports for Xiao Xingxing, along with some test results, to overseas experts.
According to the foreign experts' replies, the diagnosis by the doctors in Lancheng was not significantly different, but the surgical plans of the doctors in Lancheng and the overseas doctors differed.
Tianyi was unsure which surgical plan would be best.
He himself had researched many similar cases to Xiao Xingxing online. Some were successfully treated, while others resulted in lifelong regrets, making him hesitant.
Half a month had passed since Xiao Xingxing returned home, and it was time for his follow-up appointment.
Susu noticed that during this period, besides going to the group for work, Tianyi spent his time at home researching various information about the illness.
She didn't disturb him or ask too many questions, knowing that he was also worried about Xiao Xingxing's condition, just expressing it differently.
During the day, a home tutor helped Xiao Xingxing catch up on missed schoolwork, and Xiao Xingxing studied diligently.
Although there were no classmates at home like at school, he wasn't lonely with his younger siblings wanting to play with him.
Susu used her free time to work from home, not having gone to the studio. She was very relieved that Shishi was managing it for her.
Tomorrow was Xiao Xingxing's follow-up appointment. The children were all asleep at night.
The light in the study was still on. Susu tiptoed into the study and saw Tianyi asleep at his desk, leaning over the computer.
The computer screen displayed professional information on surgical procedures, which Susu couldn't understand at all. However, she saw that the notebook under Tianyi's arm was filled with notes written in red ink.
She gently nudged him, wanting him to go to their room to sleep.
Tianyi woke up, rubbed his face with his hand, and looked at Susu, saying, "Ah, how did I fall asleep? Isn't it late?"
Susu showed him the time on the computer and said, "It's already late at night. Go to sleep if you're tired."
Tianyi nodded, put away the notebook on the desk, and prepared to turn off the computer.
Susu felt he was working too hard and said, "Still haven't found a doctor who is 100% confident in the surgery?"
"Currently, different doctors have two main surgical plans, but neither has a 100% guarantee." Tianyi closed the computer and pulled her into his arms, saying, "I still want to research it myself and find the most reliable surgical plan."
