Chapter 324: Shen Xun Discovers the Truth About the Miscarriage

Jiang Lai and Shen Xun have spent four years together; although they never truly entered each other's lives, she still knows Shen Xun to some extent.

Shen Xun is terrible to her, but not bad to the people around them.

Even though she clearly knows Lin Shutong's true face, she still hasn't torn off the façade, for only one reason.

Lin Shutong's miscarriage injured her fundamentally.

Back in court, Lin Shutong touched her own belly several times; whenever Shen Xun saw it, they chose to stay silent, silently bearing the impending punishment, and did not bite Lin Shutong.

Even after learning they had contracted syphilis, they did not retaliate against Lin Shutong; regarding Lin Shutong's matter, Xie Yongsi defended his good brother and spread it widely in the circle.

This was told to her by Chongying.

When Shen Xun heard the word "medicine," they stiffened, and as they reached for the documents asked, "What does it mean?"

"Literal meaning," Jiang Lai said, looking at them, "You read it yourself."

Shen Xun examined the contents one by one.

Lin Shutong's miscarriage and bodily injury were the result of a combined effect of a fall and medication.

"Abortifacient?" Shen Xun lifted their eyes in disbelief.

Jiang Lai nodded and, in an official tone, said, "Abortifacient‑induced miscarriage has a time limit and must be taken in advance, so Lin Shutong took the abortifacient early, and then because she went to kiss you, you accidentally pushed her down the escalator."

"I didn't use force, I didn't intend to push her; I just found her approaching me disgusting," Shen Xun showed a disgusted expression.

Jiang Lai heard this and her eyes flickered, "You didn't use force?"

Shen Xun looked at her seriously, "No."

Jiang Lai: "Does she know you find her disgusting?"

A single sentence startled the dreamer.

Shen Xun was stunned; Lin Shutong knows that they had long ago refused Lin Shutong's kisses and embraces.

Jiang Lai: "Then do you know that a person infected with syphilis who becomes pregnant is highly unlikely to give birth, and even if the child is born, it will carry the virus?"

Shen Xun was stunned again, pupils dilating little by little.

He was already blinded by anger then; after the incident, he didn't want to bring up Lin Shutong again, so naturally he didn't examine these matters further.

Jiang Lai had originally suspected that Lin Shutong might be using the child in her womb to morally blackmail Shen Xun.

What made her hesitate was that it was a life; Lin Shutong wouldn't go as far as to poison her own flesh and blood.

Now it seems she still underestimated Lin Shutong's unscrupulous methods.

After reading these documents and hearing Jiang Lai's words, what else does Shen Xun not understand?

He was once again schemed by Lin Shutong.

Still using their child as a pawn.

Shen Xun clenched the documents tightly, joints cracking, veins on neck and forehead bulging.

He suddenly stood up.

Jiang Lai then lifted her gaze, eyes calm.

Shen Xun realized something: "You suddenly told me this to make me identify Lin Shutong."

Jiang Lai was actually also scheming him.

"I know you helped Lin Shutong because of the child; without me, you would probably look forward to that child being born," Jiang Lai said, not wanting to hide it, and spoke directly.

Shen Xun: "Lin Shutong indeed verbally admitted to me at the time that you caused her family to be ruined, left her homeless; she thinks you deserve to die."

Jiang Lai pressed her lips.

That's it.

Alright.

She stared at Shen Xun, left without a word, and then rose slowly, sending Ke Zhongyu's driver to follow.

It was already evening.

It was already quitting time; she had promised Ke Zhongyu to return early, so she let Ke Zhongyu's driver keep watch over the hospital side, perhaps to take advantage of the chaos, while she took a taxi back to Nanshan Villa.

Da De Xiao Mu wagged its tail and came up as soon as it saw Jiang Lai.

Two bodyguards nodded and greeted her.

Jiang Lai returned the nod, her eyes looking at the simple sketch on their chests, which turned out to be a White Tower.

The White Tower is the security company of the Ke family that Ke Zhongying had mentioned before.

But it's rarely seen.

If one doesn't specifically investigate, they rarely hear about this security firm.

A search later revealed that White Tower Security Co., Ltd. is so low‑key that even its official website is very simple.

Moreover, it has no direct link to the Ke Clan and is not under the Ke Group.

Jiang Lai came to herself and walked inside.

Aunt Mo saw her and beamed, telling her that Ke Zhongyu today, besides eating and using the bathroom, has been resting well in bed and taking his medicine on schedule.

She also said Secretary Cen and Secretary Guan were still reporting matters.

Jiang Lai had planned to wait until Ke Zhongyu finished his work to check the situation, but Aunt Mo had already raised her hand to knock and explained, "The Young Master said, when Miss Jiang returns, tell him immediately."

Entering the room, Secretary Cen and Secretary Guan also smiled upon seeing her.

It seemed everyone in the villa was happy, completely overlooking that Ke Zhongyu was bedridden.

But.

Ke Zhongyu's brows and eyes also carried a faint smile.

"Dr. Jiang is back, we have just finished reporting, we are leaving for the day," said Secretary Cen and Secretary Guan as they left.

Aunt Mo followed right after.

Jiang Lai walked toward Ke Zhongyu.

Ke Zhongyu glanced at the wall clock; it was already past seven-thirty, he raised his eyebrows slightly: "Your 'come back early'?"

The Ke Family owns many properties, and Ke Zhongyu's assets are countless; he often resides at Nanshan Villa precisely because it is close to the Ke Clan.

Jiang Lai explained: "I have something to do."

Ke Zhongyu: "Who did you go see?"

He didn't say it outright, but he also wanted to know whether Jiang Lai would hide it from him.

"People." Jiang Lai's reply was very simple: "Both men and women, Lin Shutong and Shen Xun."

Ke Zhongyu secretly let out a sigh of relief.

At least he told him.

But Jiang Lai said that going to see Shen Xun upset him more than hearing it from the driver.

Seeing Ke Zhongyu stay silent and sullen, Jiang Lai sat in the chair and said: "I told Shen Xun the reason for Lin Shutong's miscarriage; I wanted him to stop covering for Lin Shutong and act as a witness, but he doesn't know anything at all."

Her tone sounded a bit disappointed.

Ke Zhongyu, hearing her explanation and her disappointed tone, felt his heart soften instantly.

As if parting clouds and mist, he pulled Jiang Lai's hand over.

"A Lai, who am I?"

"Ke Zhongyu."

"..."

Jiang Lai realized, returned his grip, and gave a new answer: "Boyfriend."

Ke Zhongyu: "Still know."

He pinched her fingers; connected heart to heart, Jiang Lai's heart seemed to also be pinched and beat twice.

Jiang Lai said softly: "I know."

Ke Zhongyu got out of bed, and Jiang Lai immediately went to support him.

He wasn't so feeble as to be unable to withstand the wind, but Jiang Lai's hand resting on his body made him unwilling to let go.

Just as they reached the bedroom door, Ke Zhongyu pressed her against the door, bent over to embrace her, pressing his neck to hers and asked: "Don't you miss me? I miss you."

Warm breath sprayed all over Jiang Lai's neck, stirring waves of tingling; her thoughts were on his illness, she supported his body.

"Don't move suddenly; are you dizzy? President Chi said if dizziness worsens, go to the hospital immediately."

"Not dizzy." Ke Zhongyu's kiss landed on her neck, moving upward bit by bit.

"Mm!"

The man sucked her lips.

The deeper they kissed.

Jiang Lai's body instantly went limp, held by Ke Zhongyu, who lifted her slightly, raising her leg to wrap around his waist.

Jiang Lai suddenly widened her eyes.

They touched.

It also tickled.
