Chapter 11: Gao Yuxuan's Child

  "Ah, who is it? So it's Wei Xiaojie, what brings you here? Are you infected with a contagious disease or a venereal disease?" Du Xiaomo blocked Zhan Yan in front of him and said sarcastically.

  Wei Xiangxiang's face changed instantly, pointing at Du Xiaomo's nose and scolding, "Keep your mouth clean, what kind of thing are you? Aren't you just the illegitimate daughter of the Du family?"

  "Even a bastard is better than this broken public bus." Du Xiaomo stood with her hands on her hips, without any fear.

  Du Xiaomo's ferocity was notorious in the circle, and Wei Xiangxiang was naturally no match for her. "You... you..." Wei Xiangxiang was so angry that she trembled all over, but couldn't utter a word.

  "Alright, Shanshan, don't be like that, be careful not to stir up the fetus." A girl beside her pulled on Wei Shanshan's arm.

  Wei Xiangxian flicked her long hair, gently stroking her belly with the palm of her hand, and boasted, "Zhan Yan, I forgot to tell you, I'm pregnant, almost two months now."

  "Is that so? Congratulations then." Zhan Yan replied calmly, his face without a ripple. It seemed as if this was just an idle matter that had nothing to do with him.

  Wei Shan was greatly disappointed, she just wanted to see Zhan Yan's painful and desperate appearance, but similar emotions couldn't be found on Zhan Yan's delicate face. She could only stamp her foot in frustration. "Zhan Yan, don't you understand? The child I'm carrying is Gao Yuxuan's!"

  She smiled slightly and replied indifferently, "Yeah, I hope so too." After finishing her sentence, she took off the rubber gloves on her hands, casually threw them into the trash can, and walked past them towards the office.

  "Pfft!" Du Xiaomo couldn't help but burst out laughing. Xian Yan was usually taciturn, but don't think she's easy to bully just because of that - when she does speak up, it's always a shock.

  "Come on, don't be angry anymore, we still need to go for a check-up. Didn't you say your lower abdomen has been feeling bloated all the time?" The girl beside her advised.

  "I've had enough, I'm going home." Wei Xiangxiang said with a huff and stormed off in her high heels.

  Zhan Yan sat at her desk, seriously writing down the surgical records, the pen tip scratching on the white paper, making a faint rustling sound. A sudden and jarring phone ring broke her train of thought, Zhan Yan furrowed her brow, picking up the office phone. Unexpectedly, it was her mother-in-law, Luo Mei Hui, calling.

  "Mom, is that you?"

  "Your mobile phone is not in service, and you're also turned off, so I had to call your office landline." Lu Meihui's tone was somewhat urgent. Zhan Yan seemed indifferent, but from the day she got married, her mother-in-law had been dissatisfied with her. Before that, Lu Meihui had already chosen a daughter-in-law candidate in her heart - the daughter of a diplomat, who had won her approval.

  "I just had surgery, is there something wrong?" Yan asked timidly.

  "Today is your father's birthday, he doesn't want to make a big deal out of it, come back home together for dinner tonight." Luo Mei Hui said and hung up the phone with a "click", too stingy to say another word.

  Zhan Yan looked at the receiver that kept making busy tones, and sighed. It was clear that Luo Mei Hui couldn't find her son, so she had to catch Zhan Yan to be a laborer instead.

  Hung up the phone, Zhan Yan dialed Qiu Weiyan's mobile phone number, and indeed he was not in the service area. That could only go to his company to try their luck.
