Chapter 190: Tumbling Down the Stairs
It was the housekeeper who nudged her and said, "Eldest Young Mistress, you should go up and take a look. I don't think these are words Eldest Young Master would say; perhaps someone is playing tricks."
Yes, someone must be playing tricks.
Shi Youxuan was reminded, and only then did she regain some spirit, walking quickly upstairs.
Fearing she might have an accident, the housekeeper hurriedly followed.
The sound was coming from the room she used to live in; the door was not closed tightly, left ajar by a crack.
Shi Youxuan did not need to open the door; from the gap, she could see Sheng Hanyu holding a fiery red rose, reciting a declaration of love to Jian Yixin as if reading from a book!
Jian Yixin's face was full of happiness, her voice so soft it could drip water: "I do! I do, and I will spend my whole life with you, just the two of us. We will live a very happy life together..."
"Bang!"
Shi Youxuan pushed the door open, her face pale.
"Xuanxuan, why are you here?" Sheng Hanyu blurted out, then immediately shoved the flowers into Jian Yixin's arms and started to walk over: "Xuanxuan, listen to my explanation..."
Jian Yixin grabbed him from behind: "Hanyu, don't go, you can't leave me."
Shi Youxuan turned and walked out.
Explain what? There was nothing worth explaining.
There was no need to prove anything now; everything was laid out before her, all seen with her own eyes.
Sheng Hanyu didn't even chase after her; he was entangled by Jian Yixin.
Shi Youxuan felt she was so stupid, a complete and utter fool.
She had even laid it out for Jian Yixin, letting her reveal her true colors?
That's right, the other woman's true colors had been revealed, but the man had been snatched away too.
Shi Youxuan prepared to go downstairs, but at the top of the stairs, she was shoved violently from behind—"Ah!" she screamed as she tumbled down.
Jiangzhou First Hospital.
Operating room.
"Xuanxuan, Xuanxuan, you must hold on!" Sheng Hanyu gripped his wife's hand tightly.
His body was covered in blood, blood flowing from beneath Shi Youxuan; the doctor said it was very likely the child could not be saved, but he no longer cared.
He didn't care about the child, only about his wife.
After Shi Youxuan tumbled down the stairs, she began to bleed from below; at first, she had weakly begged him, begged him to take her to the hospital quickly to save the child!
He carried her into the car, telling her to hold on.
He told her: "Our child will be fine."
Her face grew paler and paler, cold sweat oozing from her forehead from the pain, yet even then she didn't forget to correct him: "It's my child, it has nothing to do with you."
He roared as he tried to explain to her, but she didn't hear him; she had already fainted from the pain.
"Mr. Sheng, please go out; we need to perform a Dilation and Curettage on the patient." A doctor wearing a white coat and a mask stood before him, asking him to leave.
The shadowless lamp above the operating table was already on, and the doctor, nurses, and anesthesiologist were all prepared.
"Must you perform a Dilation and Curettage?" Sheng Hanyu stared at the doctor with pleading eyes, his tone softer than it had ever been: "I beg you, can you not do it? If this child can be saved, you can ask anything of me."
He knew in his heart that if the child was not saved, his wife would certainly never stay by his side again.
Shi Youxuan seemed childish on the surface and had a carefree personality, but if she truly made up her mind, not even eight horses could pull her back!
With the child, there was an unbreakable connection between them; if this child was gone, then there would be nothing left.
"Choose between the mother and the child," the doctor said concisely.
Sheng Hanyu did not hesitate for a second: "Save the mother!"
"Then get out quickly and stop talking nonsense; you're affecting our surgery time, and you won't save either of them." The doctor was very impatient; although his tone was unkind, he was the master of obstetrics and gynecology in Jiangzhou, and his high level of skill meant he had a high temper to match.
Sheng Hanyu was driven out of the operating room, pacing back and forth in the corridor in anxiety.
Xuanxuan must not be okay; she must be safe.
If the child was gone, they could have another, even if the process would be difficult, but he believed Xuanxuan was a reasonable person; as long as he explained the reason clearly to her, she would forgive him!
But he still regretted it; he regretted that he shouldn't have kept that matter from his wife.
His wife was sensible; if he had explained the reason to her beforehand, this would not have happened.
What was he to do now?
Things that could have been explained in a few sentences were now beyond help even with a hundred.
Lady Jian hurried over from outside, not asking a single word about Shi Youxuan's current condition.
Instead, she anxiously tugged at his arm: "Hanyu, why are you here? Come with me quickly, Yixin is crying and calling for you!"
Sheng Hanyu shook her off coldly: "Get lost—"
"How can you speak to me like that? You have always been a very well-bred child; it's that woman who has corrupted you."
When Shi Youxuan was still Yingzi, Lady Jian had a good impression of her.
She thought the girl was capable, good at making money, smart, and kind; although her appearance was a bit lacking, it didn't matter.
Even if she was a bit inferior as a daughter-in-law, if her son liked her, it could be considered; because of this thought, she had even invited Yingzi to her home several times to eat the food she had cooked herself.
But not long after, Yingzi's identity was exposed; she was actually the fool Sheng Hanyu had married into the family. A genius had pretended to be a fool to deceive everyone in Jiangzhou, and from that moment on, she worried that this woman was too cunning and had deceived her son.
Later, when her daughter returned, Lady Jian began to treat Shi Youxuan as a thorn in her side, hating her so much her teeth ached.
Both mother and daughter had the same thought: they felt Shi Youxuan had snatched the happiness that originally belonged to Jian Yixin; how wonderful it would be if she didn't exist.
Now that Shi Youxuan's child could not be saved, Lady Jian felt the opportunity had arrived and decided to strike while the iron was hot to pull Sheng Hanyu to her daughter's side.
"Shi Youxuan is just a liar; she even lied to her own family, how could she not lie to you? Hanyu, don't be a fool; perhaps there was never a child in her belly at all, it was just a tactic she used to keep you..." She spoke ill of Shi Youxuan without fear, certain that Sheng Hanyu wouldn't do anything to her.
A cold gaze shot toward her, as cold as ice and as sharp as a blade; even though it was the height of summer, she shuddered.
It was too terrifying.
"Hanyu, you, what are you trying to do?"
Sheng Hanyu walked toward her step by step, saying word by word: "If I find out that today's incident was caused by you, I will make your entire Jian Family be buried with my son!"
"Don't, don't talk nonsense. I don't even know what you are talking about; we didn't do anything." Lady Jian was not someone who hadn't seen the world, but Sheng Hanyu's gaze was too terrifying; his eyes, which were originally like deep, ancient wells, now looked like an Asura who had crawled out of hell!
Her gaze darted away, not daring to look him in the eye, and she no longer mentioned asking Sheng Hanyu to go see Jian Yixin, turning around and leaving immediately.
Sheng Hanyu did not continue to pursue the matter; now was not the time to assign blame.
As long as his wife could be safe, he was willing to let go of everything.
The light above the operating room had not gone out, but the door opened, and a nurse came out anxiously: "Family members, who is the family member of Shi Youxuan!"
"I, I am." Sheng Hanyu hurried over.
"Sign here." The nurse handed over the Hallucinogenic Pen and paper.
He glanced at the title on top: Critical Condition Notice.
Instantly, as if struck by electricity, he swept the paper and Hallucinogenic Pen all onto the floor, Sheng Hanyu roaring: "No, I won't sign."
"My wife is just having a miscarriage and a Dilation and Curettage, how could she be in critical condition? Quack doctors, what 'number one expert in obstetrics and gynecology'? Quack doctors, quack doctors!"
"Change people, I demand to change doctors. If my wife dies, I will make all of you be buried with her..."
The nurse was so scared she ran off and disappeared.
Sheng Hanyu glared with bloodshot eyes, pacing back and forth in the corridor like a trapped beast.
He took out his phone with trembling hands, dialing several times before getting the number right: "Hello, A Hao, ask your wife to help Xuanxuan, Xuanxuan is dying, and I am dying too..."
