Chapter 335: Chapter 335: Becoming More and More Greedy
Song Shuyan instinctively tried to block it but still couldn’t keep her balance and fell to the ground.
“Ah…”
She let out a scream of pain and started crying, “Don’t… don’t hurt my baby…”
Huo Yanlin, hearing the argument from inside the room, rushed in and saw Song Shuyan fallen on the ground, in too much pain to get up. He immediately grabbed Ye Chan’s hand: “Chanchan, calm down, don’t be impulsive.”
The Old Lady was also taken aback by Ye Chan. She hadn’t expected Ye Chan to actually fight desperately with Song Shuyan.
“Have you gone mad?”
Ye Chan said, “Mom! She…”
Song Shuyan let out several suppressed groans of pain: “My stomach hurts so badly…”
As tears streamed down her face, she tried to stand up with the support of the wall: “Nobody is allowed to hurt the baby in my belly! If anyone dares to harm my baby, I will perish together with her if I have to!”
Having said that, she stared at Ye Chan hatefully.
But Ye Chan’s momentum did not diminish in the slightest: “If you dare to give birth to this bastard, I’ll fight you to the death!”
The situation was at a stalemate for a moment.
Huo Yanlin could bear it no longer and shouted, “Enough!”
He gripped Ye Chan’s hand tightly and called out to the people outside: “Someone come here!”
The household servants rushed over in a hurry.
Huo Yanlin pointed at Song Shuyan, who had fallen to the ground, “Take her… take her to the hospital!”
Ye Chan looked at Huo Yanlin in disbelief.
Huo Yanlin said, “Chanchan, listen to me, if it’s really as Tingdong said, I will take care of this matter properly and won’t let you be wronged!”
Ye Chan bit her lip in aggrievance, helplessly watching as Song Shuyan was carried downstairs and taken to the hospital.
After the chaos, the room became quiet again.
The Old Lady sighed with distress, “What a sin!”
Huo Yanlin said, “Mom, don’t worry, I’ll handle this matter. I’ll take some time to personally verify the whole story with Tingdong.”
Having said that, he took Ye Chan’s hand and walked towards the room.
Back in the room, just as Huo Yanlin closed the door, Ye Chan sat angrily on the bed, her tears falling unchecked.
Huo Yanlin walked over and embraced his tender wife’s shoulders, coaxing kindly, “Chanchan, don’t feel wronged…”
Ye Chan looked at him with teary eyes, “Yanlin, I’ve been married to you for so many years. Haven’t I endured enough grievances? I like children, I want one that belongs to us too! I don’t understand, haven’t you already divided the assets with the Huo Family? Even if I bear a child for you, when the child is born, it won’t threaten Tingdong’s inheritance rights! You’ve seen it too, Tingdong has already divided the family property, why is your mom still so wary of me?”
Huo Yanlin said, “Chanchan, don’t be anxious, we will have children, it’s just a matter of time.”
Ye Chan said, “I know… but…”
She felt an urgent threat looming.
Even though she was not sure whether what Huo Tingdong said was true or whether there was something fishy about the child in Song Shuyan’s belly, what if it was?
She didn’t dare to gamble, which is why she was so anxious to take Song Shuyan to the hospital to have her child aborted.
Huo Yanlin held her in his arms: “Chanchan, you’ve also made frozen eggs, right? We can have children at any time. When the time comes, even if you’re not suitable for pregnancy, we can do surrogacy abroad. We’ve agreed on this, haven’t we?”
Ye Chan said, “But what about the child in Song Shuyan’s belly? What if she really mixed up the samples?”
Huo Yanlin said, “I’ll handle this matter properly! I promise you, I will not allow another woman to give birth to my child!”
Ye Chan said, “I hope you keep your word!”
…
Huo Tingdong parked his car in the underground garage and went upstairs.
He took out his mobile phone and saw a missed call. It was from Lin Qi.
The phone had rung for only a few seconds before hanging up.
She’s awake?
Huo Tingdong quickened his pace and returned home.
The lights were on in the dining room.
Lin Qi was eating slowly and when she saw Huo Tingdong return, she said with a smile, “Husband, you’re back?”
The nanny had told her, Huo Tingdong had to step out for something.
She probably knew what it was about.
He must have gone back to the Huo Family.
Huo Tingdong sat down beside her and, seeing her eat so plainly – just a bowl of clear porridge and a little side dish, yet finding it delicious, asked, “When did you wake up?”
Lin Qi said, “An hour ago? I can’t remember well. I woke up hungry, was about to call you, then the nanny saw I was awake and told me you went out.”
Huo Tingdong said, “Hmm.”
Lin Qi then asked, “Did you go to the Huo Family?”
Huo Tingdong said, “Grandma wasn’t feeling well.”
“Oh!”
Lin Qi hesitated for a moment before asking, “And Song Shuyan? Is she still staying with the Huo Family?”
Huo Tingdong said, “Hmm.”
Lin Qi said, “The Old Lady called you back; it must be about her again.”
Huo Tingdong said, “She consulted with me about how to handle Song Shuyan.”
Lin Qi went back to eating.
Huo Tingdong had heavy thoughts on his mind.
Just now, while at the Huo Family, he deliberately spoke in front of Ye Chan that way, knowing that his words would surely stir suspicion in Ye Chan.
She would definitely begin to doubt the true nature of Song Shuyan’s pregnancy.
Now, with Song Shuyan hiding in the Huo Family, and the Old Lady so protective of her, if he were a bit more forceful, the Huo Family would surely be thrown into chaos.
But if Ye Chan grew suspicious, she would definitely find ways to force Song Shuyan to abort the child to avoid future problems. Even if she didn’t succeed, she would still drive Song Shuyan out of the Huo Family.
By then, he could have someone send Song Shuyan to the hospital to undergo an abortion.
In any case, he would not allow Song Shuyan to play such despicable tricks with him.
He would not permit this child to come into this world.
Huo Tingdong pulled his thoughts back to see Lin Qi gazing thoughtfully out of the window. He embraced her gently, asking in a soft voice, “What are you thinking about?”
Lin Qi said, “I’ve eaten my fill, feeling a bit food coma-ish.”
Seeing her dazed appearance, Huo Tingdong found her somewhat adorable and couldn’t help but lightly kiss her cheek, “Eyes not moving, you look so silly!”
They say pregnancy makes a woman dumb for three years, but even if she really turned into a little fool, he would spoil her for a lifetime, cherishing his little fool.
Lin Qi said, “I just feel that…”
She looked at Huo Tingdong, “One must have a basic sense of shame. I really can’t understand, Song Shuyan is also an intelligent, highly educated top graduate, how could she stoop so low as to use her own pregnancy to seek wealth and status.”
Huo Tingdong said, “It just goes to show that human nature is insatiable, and everyone covets different things.”
Lin Qi said, “Then are you insatiable?”
Huo Tingdong raised an eyebrow, “Yes, I’m becoming more and more insatiable.”
Initially, he had no fondness for Lin Qi, but over time, his feelings changed from like to love, and now, he insatiably yearned to love her into the next lifetime.
People live by clinging to their desires.
And in his desires, her name occupied the vast majority.
