Lin Yuwei shouted angrily. Chu Chenyi's words were clearly meant to deceive. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have been fooled by Chu Chenyi's glib tongue.
But this time, she had seen it with her own eyes, and the evidence was irrefutable. No matter how much Chu Chenyi tried to argue, she would never believe his honeyed words again.
"I'm telling you the truth! I've explained this to you dozens of times. Why don't you believe me!"
He suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness and defeat. This was more troublesome than facing thousands of enemy soldiers. When he was at a stalemate with Chu Yanxi, he had never felt so helpless as he did today.
He had explained it more than ten times, yet Lin Yuwei remained unmoved. Any further explanation was futile. At this moment, he was truly at a loss.
Chu Chenyi sat on the chair, looking dejected, with a clear expression of wanting to give up.
This indifferent attitude completely ignited Lin Yuwei's anger. She suddenly stood up from her chair, hands on her hips, and stomped over to Chu Chenyi, pointing at his nose and scolding him fiercely.
"You scumbag, you heartless man! I'm barely pregnant, and you're already messing around with other women. Do you really think I'm easy to bully!"
"I didn't! I've explained it to you more than once. Why don't you believe me? I really have nothing to do with those women!"
Although he was drunk at the time, he, as a man, knew clearly what he had done.
However, even if he had a thousand mouths, he couldn't convince Lin Yuwei now. She simply wouldn't listen to his explanations, so how could he explain?
"A dog says it doesn't like to eat shit. Would anyone believe that!"
Lin Yuwei's words almost made Feng Jin burst out laughing. She had to admire Lin Yuwei's improved scolding skills. Every word was truly spot on.
"You... are you two planning to watch a show?"
Feng Jin's laughter attracted Chu Chenyi's attention. He turned around and saw the two of them sitting side by side behind him, leisurely cracking melon seeds. They were clearly enjoying his predicament.
"No... no, you two continue... continue."
Feng Jin quickly turned her head and refused, waving her hands for them to continue. It would be a shame if the scene ended just as it was getting interesting. They had to let it continue.
"You..."
"What do you mean, 'you'? Our matters haven't been resolved. If you don't explain clearly today, I'm not done with you!"
Her anger had completely washed away her reason. Lin Yuwei had no regard for anything else. She was determined to get a clear answer from Chu Chenyi and find out exactly what happened yesterday.
"I... I..."
Chu Chenyi's lips parted slightly, but he didn't know what to say. He had already said everything he could and explained everything he needed to more than ten times. He truly didn't know what else to say.
"You have no more words to explain, or you simply can't explain anymore? This is clearly an admission!"
Lin Yuwei imposed her own interpretation, and the more she thought about it, the more wronged she felt. The tears that had just stopped gushed out again.
"Don't cry first. I... I didn't mean it like that..." Chu Chenyi became flustered, rushing to comfort Lin Yuwei. If she cried like this with such strong emotions, it would be bad if it harmed the child in her womb.
As expected, the development of events soon confirmed Chu Chenyi's worries. Lin Yuwei suddenly felt waves of sharp pain in her abdomen and instinctively clutched her stomach.
"It hurts... it hurts..."
"Where does it hurt!" Chu Chenyi, full of concern, pulled Lin Yuwei into his arms and asked solicitously.
Feng Jin noticed something was wrong with Lin Yuwei. She dropped the melon seeds in her hand and ran over to Lin Yuwei. "Does your stomach hurt?"
Seeing Lin Yuwei constantly clutching her stomach, she guessed the reason and asked.
"Sister Feng Jin... it hurts... my stomach..." Lin Yuwei's brows furrowed tightly. The intense pain made her lips turn pale. Her hand tightly gripped Feng Jin's sleeve as if she had grasped a lifeline.
Chu Chenyi also panicked. He stood frozen, enveloped by fear, and for a moment, he didn't know what to do.
Fortunately, Feng Jin was clear-headed and immediately ordered someone to carry Lin Yuwei to the room.
"You wait outside."
Feng Jin pushed Chu Chenyi, who was trying to follow her in, out of the room. She then closed the door and locked it from the inside.
"Sister Feng Jin... Sister... save the child... the child..." Lin Yuwei's sole concern was the child in her womb. She disregarded her own safety, only pleading with Feng Jin to save her child.
"Don't worry, with me here, you and the child will be fine!"
Feng Jin reached out and patted Lin Yuwei's hand, telling her to calm down. This would be beneficial for both her and the child.
She opened her acupuncture kit and, with fingers as white as scallions, gently picked up a silver needle and inserted it into Lin Yuwei's hand.
Lin Yuwei felt a slight pain when the needle pierced her skin, but it was only for a brief moment. Immediately afterward, she felt a wave of dizziness wash over her, and she soon succumbed to sleep.
...
"Why haven't they come out yet..."
Chu Chenyi was pacing anxiously like an ant on a hot pan. Ever since Lin Yuwei was carried into the room, he hadn't stopped moving. He had been pacing outside, occasionally pressing his ear to the door to peek inside, but he saw nothing.
This feeling of being shut out and in the dark was truly agonizing. If he had known this would happen, he should have been more forceful and rushed in earlier.
He never expected that a moment of carelessness would lead to such regret, a mistake that would haunt him forever.
"Can't you sit down and rest? Stop pacing around like this!" Seeing Chu Chenyi constantly walking back and forth in front of him, he felt like he would go crazy if he closed his eyes. Ling Mohan was also very helpless.
"How can I not be worried? It's been so long, and there's not a shred of news..."
Chu Chenyi started to grumble, his mouth full of complaints. Once he started, he seemed to have no intention of stopping.
"Feng Jin is in there, and nothing will go wrong. You can put your heart at ease!"
