"What are you doing?" Qin Sheng asked.
Li Ang really wanted to say that he wanted to f*ck her, but he swallowed his words. He was afraid that the little girl would explode in anger and delay the proper business.
"When is Chu Xia going for an abortion?" he asked.
Qin Sheng frowned. "Did Sikong Jue tell you?"
"It doesn't matter who told who. What is Chu Xia thinking? I heard that her family's financial situation isn't good. If she solves the problem, I can help talk to Sikong Jue and ask him to give Chu Xia money."
Qin Sheng's gaze landed on Li Ang. "Problem? That's a life. Do you think the baby is just a problem?"
"What's the difference? Chu Xia can't afford it anyway. Why don't we just choose the best way to solve the problem? How much money does she want? Is one million enough?" Li Ang asked.
Qin Sheng's lips twitched. "Is Chu Xia the kind of woman who uses her pregnancy to extort money from others in your and Sikong Jue's eyes?"
"Not exactly. After all, Sikong Jue has his own faults. Who asked him to not wear a condom? He's causing trouble for himself. It can be considered a punishment, so that he can learn his lesson. Is one million enough? If it's not enough, I'll personally help Sikong Jue add more. Go and ask Chu Xia how much she wants," Li Ang said.
Qin Sheng's eyes flashed with a fierce light. She looked for Li Ang's small hand. "Come here and I'll tell you something."
Li Ang leaned towards the woman. "Say it."
Qin Sheng's hand pushed the man, hard.
"Aaah!" Li Ang screamed. He was completely unprepared for the little woman's attack.
Qin Sheng immediately closed the window and drew the curtains, cursing Li Ang and Sikong Jue for the way they were dealing with the situation.
On the ground, Li Ang stood and looked up at Qin Sheng's window. Pushing him down from such a high place, this little woman was really vicious!
If he didn't know martial arts and landed steadily on the ground, he would have broken his bones. There was no doubt.
'Stupid girl, you dare to murder your future husband? Let's see how I will deal with you in the future!' Li Ang thought to himself.

The next morning, Gong Mochen drove Qin Sheng to school. On the way, his phone rang. He swiped the screen and answered the call.
The phone was in the phone holder. He pressed the loudspeaker on.
Qin Sheng heard a woman's voice coming from the speaker.
"President Gong, don't forget your appointment at 9:00."
It was Ye Wei... Qin Sheng promised hadn't misheard. Ye Wei's voice was very gentle. She didn't know where Ye Wei came from, but she felt like maybe she was from Jiangnan.
"Yes, I know." Gong Mochen hung up the phone after he'd said that.
Qin Sheng's heart was twisting and contracting. "Uncle, are you sick?"
"No, it's just a routine check-up. Don't think too much," Gong Mochen explained.
Qin Sheng frowned. She remembered that Gong Mochen had already had a check-up at the beginning of the year... Did he have to have a check-up twice a year?
"When did you and Ye Wei get to know each other?" she asked straightforwardly.
"The year I went abroad. Her medical skills were pretty good, so I brought her back to be my personal doctor," Gong Mochen said casually, as if he had brought back some insignificant souvenir.
Qin Sheng's heart sank. No one knew about the year Gong Mochen went abroad. No one dared to ask, and she knew he wouldn't say that he brought Ye Wei back during that mysterious year. In other words, Qin Sheng knew that Ye Wei knew about that year!
The feeling that she didn't know, but the other women knew, made her heart ache.
"We're here. What are you thinking about?" Gong Mochen looked at the quiet girl.
"Nothing, I'm going to school. Be safe on the road and come back early!" Qin Sheng reminded him worriedly.
Gong Mochen watched as Qin Sheng ran into the school gate with her backpack and smiled. The girl reminded him to go home early like a little wife.
His eyes were suddenly filled with coldness, the brief warmth extinguished. He knew their days were numbered.
He turned the steering wheel and drove to Ye Wei's private clinic.
As soon as Qin Sheng entered the school gate, she saw Chu Xia walking with her head lowered. She ran over.
"Chu Xia, have you eaten breakfast? I brought some for you!" She handed the lunchbox to Chu Xia.
Chu Xia's eyes were red and swollen. It was obvious that she had cried.
"Thank you. I'll eat it when I have an appetite."
Qin Sheng held Chu Xia's hand. "What do you plan to do? Do you still want the baby? Don't worry, I've told my uncle that I'll definitely help you. Your family's two million debt is nothing."
"No, if your uncle pays up, my father will still gamble and continue to owe. It's better this way. He owes money, and no loan shark will lend him the money.
"I've thought it through. There are still two weeks until the exam. After the exam, I'll take my mother and leave. We'll sell the house and go far away so that my father won't be able to find us again.
"I'll also want the baby. But he's already very pitiful. He's despised by his own father..."
As she spoke, tears uncontrollably rolled down from her eyes.
Qin Sheng felt her heart ache when she heard this. Chu Xia was the person she admired the most. Because of Chu Xia's personality, she believed that she would definitely break out of her own world in the future. She would make something of her life.
"Well hun, I will definitely support you! I want to be your son or daughter's godmother!"
"Alright, then let's make a deal. In the future, when you give birth to a baby, I'll be their godmother, and you will be my baby's godmother. That way, we will never be separated," said Chu Xia.
Qin Sheng nodded repeatedly. From being godmothers to each other's babies to their future relationship, they had happily decided it. However, they soon realized there was a long distance between ideal and reality

In the private clinic, Ye Wei walked into the office with a report. Gong Mochen was still standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window as usual. The sunlight shone on the man's body, but it didn't make him look warm. Instead, it made him look even colder...
It seemed that even the sunlight couldn't warm him.
Gong Mochen turned to look at Ye Wei's frowning face. "Is the result not good"
Ye Wei took a deep breath. "It's very bad. I can't suppress the poison in your body anymore. I can only guarantee that you have one month to live at most."
"One month? That's enough." Gong Mochen frowned slightly, but there was no trace of fear on his face.
Ye Wei was stunned. Enough? Why would he say enough? She really wanted to detoxify him! To save him...
Gong Mochen walked to the sofa and picked up his blazer. He'd take off his blazer so that he could have blood taken from his arm.
A piece of paper fell on the ground. Ye Wei quickly picked it up and saw the man's handwriting on it. It was a proposal for a banquet - the first social banquet for Qin Sheng.
She suddenly understood what he meant when he said a month was enough. That was enough time for the banquet...
Gong Mochen raised his hand and took the proposal from the woman's hand. "I'm leaving."
He strode out of the room.
Ye Wei took out her cell phone and dialed a number. "Senior, have you found His Highness Yu for me?"
"Not yet, but many people in our industry suspect that it's Sikong Jue. You can try to find out from him. However, let me remind you that there's something strange about him. Anyone who gets close to Sikong Jue will die a strange death in the end..."
