Chapter 242: Lin Shutong decides not to have children

Secretary Guan quietly said to Assistant Zhou: "President Ke would still be quite suitable to be Dr. Jiang's doorman."

Assistant Zhou: "……"

If President Ke were Dr. Jiang's doorman, then no one could get through this door.

Assistant Zhou and Secretary Guan personally escorted the senior staff to the elevator; someone couldn't hold back and indirectly remarked: "President Ke and Dr. Jiang are working together very happily, huh."

Assistant Zhou smiled without saying a word.

Secretary Guan also gave a sweet smile.

Everyone understood tacitly.

After seeing them off, the two exchanged a glance, and Secretary Guan said: "Should I find some work that doesn't require returning to the office?"

Assistant Zhou: "Me too."

Jiang Lai never saw Secretary Guan and Assistant Zhou return to the office, and a flicker of doubt crossed her eyes.

Ke Zhongyu sat in his office chair, still eating the buns Jiang Lai had brought, and asked her: "You made these?"

Jiang Lai wondered how he managed to eat them.

Ke Zhongyu: "Mo Yi's aren't this flavor."

Jiang Lai nodded, then took out a bottle of milk from her bag and placed it before him: "Don't choke, I'm going to the lab."

Ke Zhongyu noticed that Jiang Lai had begun to take the initiative to care for him, and it was involuntary.

"Okay." He nodded.

Watching Jiang Lai leave, not long after, Assistant Zhou and Secretary Guan returned.

Ke Zhongyu picked up his phone and once again saw Ke Zhongying showing off to him.

【Look! The buns made by Sister Jiang Lai～】

Ke Zhongyu looked at the small bun she was pinching in her hand, snorted, and snapped a photo of his own bun, half-eaten yet still larger than the one in Ke Zhongying's hand.

Accompanied by a sound: 【Heh】

Ke Zhongying never sent him another message.

Ke Zhongyu placed a call to Mo Yi.

As soon as Mo Yi answered, she said: "Young Master, the young lady has already been driven away by you."

"Hmm." Ke Zhongyu briefly told Mo Yi something; on the other end, her voice first sounded surprised, then excited.

……

The Lin family.

Lin Shutong applied a thick layer of concealer to herself, barely covering her dark circles; she was now going to see a lawyer, and also to meet Gu Yinxue.

The lawyer was introduced by Gu Yinxue; otherwise no lawyer would dare take her case, and hearing that the opposing party was Zhong Poqian was only one reason.

The real reason was learning which people were involved.

The former president of Star Universe Technology, an outstanding female researcher who contributed to the country, possibly also involved the matter of the Ke Group's person in power.

The former president of Star Universe Technology is fine, but these two later figures are too heavyweight to offend.

The Lin family was anxious like ants on a hot pan.

At this moment, Gu Yinxue suddenly said she had connections and could introduce a lawyer.

Lin Shutong felt grateful to Gu Yinxue, but also worried that if Gu Zhiyan found out about this, he would think poorly of her.

Until Gu Yinxue told her: "My brother and I both know you were merely deceived by Shen Xun; you had no knowledge of it."

Lin Shutong's heart sank a little.

She arrived at the agreed place, and Gu Yinxue and the lawyer were already waiting.

"Shutong, here."

"Yinxue." Lin Shutong sat down, and the lawyer opposite her immediately greeted her and inquired about the specific circumstances.

Gu Yinxue then said: "You two talk; I'll go to the restroom."

As she left, she took her camera.

Lin Shutong caught a glimpse of this, knowing Gu Yinxue was making space for them to talk.

Even without Gu Yinxue, she still didn't dare to be completely frank, after all this was the lawyer Gu Yinxue had found; although the lawyer would keep confidentiality, she still didn't trust enough.

Gu Yinxue returned an hour later, noticing that Lin Shutong's complexion had improved somewhat compared to the start, and it looked like they had chatted pleasantly.

"Yinxue, thank you for recommending Attorney Meng to me; Attorney Meng is very professional."

"As long as I can help you, that's good; if I can't help you, I'm also afraid my brother will worry." Gu Yinxue sat down and had Attorney Meng return to the hotel first.

Attorney Meng had flown in from other provinces or cities.

After the person left, Gu Yinxue looked at Lin Shutong and said: "Shutong, after this matter, will you still be together with Shen Xun?"

Lin Shutong's heart skipped a beat, and she asked nervously: "Why would you ask that?"

"I'm worried that because of the child you'll continue to stay with Shen Xun, but Shen Xun's side is just a pit of fire; you shouldn't jump back into it, and my brother probably wouldn't want you to jump back in either."

The stone in Lin Shutong's heart fell down; now she understood the reason.

"I don't know." A glint flashed in her eyes as she told Gu Yinxue: "Actually, from the very beginning Shen Xun didn't want this child; he several times tried to get me to abort, but I couldn't bear to, this is my child."

Gu Yinxue: "I understand; if you don't want to continue with Shen Xun, consider my brother—he truly likes you."

Lin Shutong certainly knew that.

She feigned astonishment: "How, how could that be… we've always just been friends."

Gu Yinxue watched her act, and she herself also performed wholeheartedly, as long as she achieved her goal.

"My brother really likes you, which is why he's never looked for a partner; the family has set up blind dates for him, but he never goes, and I know the person he likes is you."

"I……" Lin Shutong stammered, "but I, my current situation……"

Gu Yinxue took her hand: "You're great, Shutong; you're beautiful, your parents are university professors, your maternal grandfather is an elder in academia, and you yourself are even more self-reliant—once a research project is gone, it's gone, and aren't you now similarly invited to be the person in charge of a project?"

Lin Shutong's spine gradually straightened under her words.

My brother likes you, and I also think you're not bad.

Thank you, Yin Xue. I know you're helping me like this because of Zhi Yan.

Gu Yinxue loosened her hand, gave a gentle smile: 'Not exactly; I just feel we have good chemistry, and I only befriend those I click with.'

While speaking, she took out a box—a gift for Lin Shutong.

Lin Shutong opened it to find a pair of quite beautiful emerald earrings, worth at least five or six hundred thousand.

For me?

Of course, is there anyone else here? Gu Yinxue chuckled, she took a sip of hot water; even the moment Lin Shutong saw the earrings, she caught the glint in Lin Shutong's eyes.

Lin Shutong was just short of money; she didn't give money, but gave a green gem that could be sold, and Lin Shutong would gradually become a useful person in her camp.

With Lin Shutong, her brother would also stand on her side.

Lin Shutong happily said, 'Thank you, Yin Xue.'

You're welcome, we're just friends. Gu Yinxue smiled, saying meaningfully, 'Perhaps one day we'll even become family.'

Lin Shutong: 'Don't joke about me and Zhi Yan.'

She gradually formed a bold idea in her mind: with Gu Yinxue's help, perhaps she could really enter the Gu family.

The illness can be treated; Lu Hongyuan himself also needs treatment, it's impossible not to spend money on her cure.

As for the child… she had originally only planned to use the child to make Shen Xun spend money.

On the way back, Lin Shutong grew more resolute the more she thought; she called Lu Hongyuan: 'I don't intend to keep this child, but I need the abortion medicine.'

Go find the person you previously got medicine from; they have everything. Do you need me to tell you where Shen Xun is? Hexin Yiyuan—he's running around seeking treatment; if you hesitate any longer, he'll have no money to give you.
