Xia Weiyang's disappearance had angered Shi Jue, who was in the middle of a meeting.
After hanging up the phone, Shi Jue's handsome face was ice-cold. He then swept a cold gaze at the trembling crowd inside the meeting room.
"The meeting is adjourned."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and left quickly.
The people who were left in the meeting room heaved a sigh of relief and looked at each other at the same time. However, no one spoke.
"Mo Yi, inform the police to seal off all the intersections and strictly check the cameras near Xia Weiyang's office. Focus on monitoring the Lu and Xia families," Shi Jue said to Mo Yi, who was walking beside him as they strode down the corridor.
"Drive. Let's go to the hospital first. I'd like to visit Xia Ningyan's ward," Shi Jue said.
Mo Yi followed Shi Jue closely as he made a call to handle the task he had given him.
Who would be so reckless to provoke the young master?
It seemed whoever did this was already prepared to die.
Shi Jue arrived at the hospital.
Mo Yi accompanied him as they entered the hospital. Their strong aura made the people inside the hospital move out of their path.
They reached the door of Xia Ningyan's ward.
Shi Jue stood still. Mo Yi understood and prepared to open the door of the ward.
Suddenly, they heard a clear voice coming from inside the ward.
Shi Jue raised his hand to stop Mo Yi from opening the door.
"Mom, I already told you not to look for my sister. Why do you still want to leave?" Xia Ningyan said with a soft voice.
"I'm doing this for you. The child in your stomach is young master Shi Jue's and hers is not. But you guys won't let me say it out loud," Wang Jiayi responded.
"Xia Ningyan, I know you love your sister, but having a child is not an easy task. It's fine when it's still in your stomach. However, once it grows up, people will soon find out who the real father is. When that time comes, I don't think our family will be able to handle Shi Jue's anger."
"But, sister likes young master Shi Jue. We can't hinder sister's happiness," Xia Ningyan said in a low voice.
"Your sister also liked Lu Ziyin before! Don't forget, her true love is for Lu Ziyin," Wang Jiayi replied.
"But..." Xia Ningyan stammered.
"Don't say argue with me. Now that she's been dumped by Lu Ziyin, she will not let go of Shi Jue especially after she's seen his wealth and power. You don't know her. She likes to stick to rich people since she was young," Wang Jiayi said.
...
Outside the ward, Mo Yi carefully glanced at the young master beside him.
These two women were really bold to actually dare to lie to the young master. They were delusional to think that they could successfully complete their plan. They really thought they could convince Shi Jue to admit that the child in Xia Ningyan's belly was his.
Mo Yi's lips curled up into a mocking smile.
The Xia family was really conniving and shameless.
Fortunately, Xia Weiyang was not like them.
Shi Jue's thin lips formed into a thin smile. The more he listened, the calmer and more indifferent he became.
Mo Yi accidentally saw the expression on Shi Jue's face. He could not help but shiver.
The angrier he was, the gentler he became.
"Open the door," Shi Jue opened his mouth and said gently.
Mo Yi hurriedly pushed the door open and hid behind Shi Jue. Despite being scared by Shi Jue's expression, he did not have any sympathy for the two women inside the ward.
Suddenly, the door opened and the two women stopped walking immediately.
"Young master Shi Jue..." Wang Jiayi said as her face turned pale.
"Young master Shi Jue." Xia Ningyan shyly glanced at Shi Jue. She lowered her head as if she was a young lady addressing a member of a royal family.
A pair of eagle-like eyes swept over them. "Is the child in your stomach mine?" Shi Jue asked gently.
Hearing this, Xia Ningyan lowered her head even more. Her face immediately blushed. She tried looking straight into Shi Jue's eyes but she could not.
"Yes. Ah, no..."
"Don't be afraid. You can tell me the truth," Shi Jue said as he maintained a gentle expression on his face.
