our champion, Ji"Fu Yan glanced at him, her lips almost reaching her ears in a smile. "It's for the glory of the country," she said insincerely, "We should be humble."Fu Yan was almost laughing."Well,...Ho Mingzheng's cold glint in his eyes extinguished. "Does Auntie mean she wants one life to pay for another"

He rarely showed his emotions so openly, even after becoming the head of the family. He was always respectful and polite to the elders in the house, never acting as domineering as he did now.

Du XINRUI was taken aback, gritting her teeth to suppress her emotions, and turned away without saying another word.

The ward door opened, and Li Qin walked out. She glanced at Huo Mingzheng with a complicated expression, pursed her lips, and said in a low voice, "A-zheng, Jing Shu wants to see Yan Yan."

Fu Yan stood by Huo Mingzheng's side, her slightly lowered eyes and clenched fingers, all within Huo Mingzheng's sight.

Li Qin walked over and took Fu Yan's hand, "Azheng, don't worry, I'll be watching beside you, and I won't let Yan Yan be treated unfairly."

Fu Yan sneered and withdrew her hand.

"It was you who accompanied Huo Jingshu for the checkup, wasn't it" Fu Yan questioned her. "So you knew she was pregnant from the very beginning. Why didn't you stop her when she rushed into the crowd"

Li Qin innocently said, “I’ve already explained. I’m not feeling well, so I couldn’t keep up with Jing Shu. By the time I got there, both of you had fallen to the ground. When Grandpa asked me what happened, I said I didn’t see clearly.”

"Was it that you didn't see clearly, or that you chose not to You know in your heart."

Li Qin's eyes reddened slightly. "I understand you're not emotionally stable right now, and it's understandable to unconsciously shift blame in this kind of situation. I was also wrong. I should have caught up with Jing Shu faster."

She knew her health wasn't good, so she wouldn't doubt that it was Fu Yan's doing. However, although the scene was chaotic at the time, she clearly saw Li Qin. She clearly had a chance to come over and stop Huo Jing Shu, but she didn't.

Only she knows what's on her mind.

"Azhen, I'm sorry. If I had been more ambitious and caught up with Jingshu, nothing like this would have happened to the Huo family."

Ho Mingzheng said lightly, "It's none of your business."

"I still feel guilty." Li Qin blamed herself deeply.

Fu Yan's lips curled into a self-deprecating smile. She waited until the aching in her lower back eased somewhat before slowly shifting her feet and stepping into the ward.

Qin Heng looked at her back and couldn't help but frown. When Li Qin also entered the ward, he and Huo Mingzheng walked to the office at the end of the corridor.

"You really stayed kneeling for so long"

Huo Mingzheng smoked silently, he wasn't a heavy smoker but today he lit up frequently.

Letting out a plume of smoke, he spoke slowly.

Cao Fang had made arrangements and prepared a soft cushion for her, and also asked the guards to turn a blind eye. But she was stubborn and only used her original hard cushion, kneeling from noon until dusk.

Qin Heng couldn't help but say, "She isn't someone who lacks intelligence. Her stubbornness stems from the fact that she feels you don't trust her."

"Should I trust her"

This question caught Qin Heng off guard, "I've noticed that you've had a knot in your heart since you left the hospital. Other people might not see it, but don't think I can't tell. What exactly are you angry about"

What's the matter......

Ho Mingzheng took a sharp drag of his cigarette. He looked out the window at the heavy night, his eyes deep and dark, not saying another word.

Qin Heng knew he couldn't get him to talk, so he said something else. "I asked Jing Shu's attending doctor. He had seen Jing Shu's blood tests and ultrasound from the People's Hospital. He said that her condition was already borderline, and the embryo wasn't very stable."

"What does it mean"

Qin Heng explained: "A doctor with insufficient experience wouldn't be able to see her condition. The next step would actually be a threatened miscarriage. Forcing a poorly-quality embryo to continue, do you think this child would be able to stay" his eye. He wasn't sure if she was focused on the scenery outside the window, so he quickly took another look at her. His gaze landed on her rosy cheeks before quickly darting away."It's fine, I have...
