Su Qianci's heart thumped with the loud bang of the door. Looking at him leaving, she was dazed. After a while, she took out her cell phone and dialed a number.
Song Yifan had just boarded an airplane when he got Su Qianci's call. It was the first time that Su Qianci had called him, so Song Yifan was overjoyed. He immediately picked up and called, "Su Qianci!"
Hearing his voice, Su Qianci seemed to have found life-support in her helplessness. Tears dropping from her eyes, she cried, "Dad..."
She was sobbing, which made him feel shocked, and he quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
Her voice was too broken to say anything. She burst into tears.
Song Yifan panicked. "What is it? Tell me."
Calming herself down, she said, "Can I stay with you for a couple of days? I..."
"Of course. Where are you? I'll go pick you up. Don't cry and stay where you are."
Song Yifan took down the luggage that he had put in the overhead compartment. With the air hostesses gazing at him and asking him what was going on, he directly went off the plane and walked out of the airport.
Su Qianci was not waiting for Song Yifan in the house, but at a crossing that Li Sicheng would not drive past. There was only a change of clothes in her luggage. Song Yifan came in a taxi. Seeing her, he immediately asked the driver to stop. Seeing her swollen eyes, he did not dare to ask more, but instead put her luggage in the trunk, and took her to his home.
When getting Li Sicheng's call, Tang Mengying was getting her face treated in the hospital. Tang Mengying did not expect Li Sicheng to be visiting her, not in her wildest dream. This was a first since college. Although her face was swollen after being slapped by Su Qianci, Tang Mengying tried to squeeze a smile out for the unexpected surprise.
Li Xiao and Li Beixing were following Li Sicheng. Seeing them, Tang Mengying could no longer sustain her smile and asked reluctantly, "Brother Sicheng, do you need me for something?"
Glancing at her coldly, Li Sicheng said, "Follow me."
Feeling something was wrong, Tang Mengying asked nervously, "What happened? Can't we talk here?"
"Don't make me repeat myself."
Tang Mengying's eyelids twitched and immediately stood up. Li Sicheng's attitude toward her had not changed a bit. It had been more than three months since she was so close to him. Tang Mengying felt like reminiscing. Following Li Sicheng, Tang Mengying felt the surroundings looked more and more familiar.
She had been here yesterday and the day before yesterday. This was the genetics department. Tang Mengying stopped walking, as she had a bad presentiment. "Brother Sicheng, why are you taking me here?"
"To do a blood test."
At the same time, Cheng You had already walked over with a file in her hand. "Mr. Li, here are yesterday's test results."
Li Sicheng took it and looked at it. It was the same as what he saw yesterday. Curling his lips coldly, Li Sicheng's eyes were frosty. "How do you explain this test result?"
Tang Mengying's heart raced as she braced herself to ask, "What do you mean? The proof is right in front of you, do you still want to deny it?"
"Then how about this one?"
Tang Mengying took it and immediately saw the number on the report – 0.00%.
307 Another DNA Test
As if she had touched something burning, Tang Mengying immediately threw away the test report and exclaimed, "Li Sicheng, what do you mean?" She was so loud that it was deafening. Li Xiao and Li Beixing did not expect Tang Mengying to be so emotional. She panted and said, "You could reject me. But why do you have to doubt me like this? Am I worthless in your eyes?"
Li Sicheng stood still indifferently. Cheng You was standing behind him, curling her lips in contempt.
Of course!
Cheng You had seen clearly in Australia what kind of person Tang Mengying was. If she had no self-respect, then there was nothing that could stop her.
"We will know for sure with another test," Li Xiao said seriously. "Both reports have my name on it, but the results were completely different. Could you explain to me, Ms. Tang, which one is mine?"
Tang Mengying became pale and suddenly lost her words. At this moment, a nurse came over. Seeing many people standing around, she looked nervous and said in a low voice, "Miss Cheng You..."
Cheng You heard her and turned around.
The nurse looked anxious as she said, "The amniotic fluid sample collected from Mrs. Tang is lost. I could not find it. And also Mr. Li Xiao's..."
Hearing that, everyone was shocked. Only Tang Mengying looked incredibly relieved.
Li Sicheng turned around and stared at Tang Mengying, wishing he could crush her right there.
Tang Mengying shuddered and stepped back. At the same time, a doctor wearing a white cloak and a pair of black rimmed glasses came by, shot a glance at them, and brushed past Tang Mengying without stopping.
"Then we should take another sample!" Li Sicheng's voice was cold.
The doctor looked back coldly at Li Sicheng. Noticing his glance, Li Sicheng turned his head. However, before Li Sicheng caught a glimpse of the doctor's face before he disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Hearing that, Tang Mengying became even more pale and shouted, "No!"
"You don't dare, do you?" Cheng You provoked.
"No, no!" Tang Mengying cried hysterically. "We can't do it!"
If she were to do it again, it would be a slap in her face. She needed her face, and so did the Tang family. The news of her pregnancy had been spread around in the entire Kingstown. If the results showed that it was not Li Sicheng's baby, then...
No way!
The nurse quickly came over and said, "The fetus is less than four months old. One amniocentesis has been quite risky. If we do it again, it will very likely cause an abortion."
Hearing that, Tang Mengying let out a sigh of relief. At the same time, she felt a pain in her belly. Covering her belly and bending over, Tang Mengying immediately became pale.
The nurse was startled and quickly put her hands on Tang Mengying's arm. "Someone get a bed here for me."
No one saw that at the end of the corridor, the doctor who had just walked by was leaning against the wall, expressionless.
308 Mr.Rong Rui, How Do You Do?
The volatile emotions had made it hard for Tang Mengying to keep calm, which affected her baby.
"The debt you owe me could never be paid."
Thinking of what he said when they were standing in front of the genetics department, Tang Mengying couldn't help shuddering.
This guy was so daring!
The door was suddenly opened, which startled Tang Mengying. She jerked her head up. A man in white cloak walked inside. He was not too tall, a little over 5'8″. Wearing a pair of black rimmed glasses, he looked serious and studious.
Seeing him, Tang Mengying was shocked and let out a yelp. "What are you doing here?"
The young man came close and took off his glasses, looking at Tang Mengying's face lovingly. "That woman hit you so hard. Damn her."
Pushing him away, Tang Mengying said, "What are you doing here? Li Sicheng knows about you. If you are recognized by him, neither of us would be safe."
"Relax. I have hacked all the surveillance cameras. Even if Li Sicheng is good, he could do nothing to me. However, if it was not for me, you would have been forced to do another DNA test by now. At that time, you will not be the only one ruined."
Knowing that was true, Tang Mengying asked, "Didn't you say you went home? Why are you still here? When did you come?"
"I sneaked out." Rong Rui pulled a chair to sit down. "Li Sicheng was even trying to find out things from my uncle. My uncle just called to ask me to go back and lay low. But I'm not scared."
Although he wasn't scared, Tang Mengying was very worried. "You think you are good? If it was not because you did all those things in secret and Li Sicheng did not know who you were, do you think you could still live like this? At times like this, you should listen to your uncle and lay low for a while. If Li Sicheng caught you..."
"So what? What could he do?" Rong Rui said disdainfully. "Li Sicheng's father has the same rank as my uncle. His grandpa is a general, and so is my grandpa. I will not necessarily lose to him. Tang Mengying, I could not begin to understand what is so attractive about him to make you so obsessed and willing to give birth for him." Although she was not carrying Li Sicheng's child, Rong Rui still felt jealous.
"What are you planning to do now? You can't keep it forever." Rong Rui glanced at her belly. "If news got out that this baby is not Li Sicheng's, not only you, but your entire family will be destroyed."
Tang Mengying gritted her teeth and whispered to him, "Of course not. I will use Su Qianci's hands to get rid of it. At that time, I will blame her for the loss of my baby, and she will suffer for sure."
"As long as you know what you're doing."
Public opinion was the most terrifying thing.
"I do. You should leave now, and don't come back." Tang Mengying urged, full of fear.
Rong Rui felt a bit disappointed, pouted, and put the glasses back on before he left for the door.
However, the moment he opened the door, he saw two arrays of tall, strong men. Among them, Li Sicheng was gazing at Rong Rui coldly as he said, "Mr. Rong Rui, how do you do?"
309 A Tag She Cannot Get Rid Of
Song Yifan's home was not located in the center of Kingstown, but in a middle-class neighborhood outside the downtown area. It was quiet, cozy, and clean. Going up to the sixteenth floor, Su Qianci entered the apartment and Song Yifan quickly cleaned up a room for her. It was a two-bedroom apartment with simple and modern declarations–Song Yifan's style.
When he went to clean up the room for her, she went to the kitchen and looked around, but found nothing. The fridge was empty and lots of electrical appliances were not connected to power. Thinking of the suitcase that he was carrying, Su Qianci suddenly thought of a possibility: Was he... going on a trip? But he came back for her and then spent all of his time helping her. Feeling touched and guilty at the same time, Su Qianci closed the fridge and saw Song Yifan walking out.
"All set. I'll take your luggage inside."
She looked at him and nodded, following him to the room. The apartment was not big, not even one third of the size of Li Sicheng's house. But it was kept very clean and cozy. She could smell air freshener.
Feeling a bit ashamed, he said, "It is a bit tight. You can stay here for now. We can get a bigger place later."
She smiled and asked in a low voice, "Dad, why are you so good to me?" She was not his biological daughter, and he could have chosen to ignore her. However, he treated her like his own daughter, thoughtfully and warmly. She glanced at his suitcase, which had the security check tag from the airport on it. The date was today. He came back for her from the airport.
Gentle as always, Song Yifan smiled. "Little fool, because you are my daughter."
Su Qianci felt her heart warming up and her eyes getting wet.
"Don't cry. You won't be pretty anymore if you cry." Song Yifan did not want to see her tears. "Are you hungry? Dad will take you out to eat. What do you want?"
She shook her head. "I don't have an appetite."
"You can't abuse yourself no matter how unhappy you are. Let's go. I'll take you to my favorite place."
Pulled downstairs by Song Yifan, Su Qianci saw a noodle place after walking for a while. The noodle place looked modest, and the decorations were a bit old. However, it was very clean.
An old man was sitting at the counter, watching television and holding a big white cat. Seeing Song Yifan and Su Qianci, the cat gave them a stare with its blue eyes and meowed. The old man looked up with a smile. "Song Yifan, you're here. Didn't you say you are going to London today? You didn't make it?"
"Something came up and I came back." Song Yifan obviously knew the old man well. "This is my daughter."
The old man looked surprised. "Oh, you have a daughter? Aren't you single?"
"Goddaughter."
"Wait, she looks familiar. Is she the wife of the captain's grandson? The captain that travels around all the time despite his old age."
"Captain Li Xun," said Su Qianci.
"Right, him. Are you that Mrs. Li?"
Su Qianci looked embarrassed. She seemed to have a tag that she could not get rid of. The effect of that press conference turned out to be annoyingly good.
310 She Ran Away
The old man looked knowingly at her, clapped his hands, and said, "The old Captain has great luck. All his grandsons were very capable and one of them even has such a pretty wife. Your husband ranks the second, right?"
"Yes..."
"I think he's the most impressive among his brothers. All his family are in the military, and he went into business despite everyone's objection, and became quite successful. That is great. You're very lucky to have married a guy like that."
Su Qianci smiled reluctantly.
Song Yifan gave her a light push and said to the old man, "The same old, double."
"Right away!" The old man's attention was diverted. "Two of Song's order."
Su Qianci heard that and immediately chuckled. What the heck was Song's order?
Seeing her smile, Song Yifan knew that he had taken her to the right place and explained, "I'm a frequent at this restaurant. They all know me and what my favorite is."
The restaurant had become popular because of Song Yifan's patronage. His reputation really worked for the business. The food was soon served. It was noodles with soybean paste. The paste was fantastic. Su Qianci took a pair of chopsticks and slowly stirred the noodles. Song Yifan was hungry, so he was eating fast. On the other hand, she was eating with small bites because of her bad mood.
It was past 8 PM, and it was dark outside. Su Qianci's phone rang and buzzed on the table. The screen showed: Darling. She turned the sound off. After the call went to voicemail, She turned off her phone and put it aside.
Seeing that, Song Yifan continued eating the noodles and asked, "Are you in a fight?"
Su Qianci did not answer and took another bite of the noodles.
Li Sicheng was about to go mad. As soon he went home, he searched the house inside and out without finding Su Qianci. She did not answer his call and even turned off her phone. Being timid, she did not have many friends or classmates that she would go to. Kingstown was so big, so where would she go? The first location Li Sicheng had in mind was her school. He asked Cheng You to look for her there.
And the second location Li Sicheng thought of was where Lu Yihan was. Thinking of the possibility that she might be spending time with Lu Yihan, Li Sicheng felt his heart flaming. Driving to Kingstown First Hospital, Li Sicheng found Lu Yihan's room and barged in. Lu Yihan was having an IV drip with a laptop in front of him. His hand without the needle in it was hitting the keyboard. Seeing Li Sicheng, he looked surprised and then sneered, "Mr. Li, how are you?"
"Where is she?"
"She?" Lu Yihan immediately thought of Su Qianci. "You're looking for Qianqian?"
Qianqian!
The intimacy made Li Sicheng even more angry. "Did she come to visit you today?"
"Ha, with a husband like you, she doesn't even have the right to visit a friend, so how did she dare to visit me?" Lu Yihan stopped what he was doing. "She's missing?"
Li Sicheng pursed his lips and clenched his fists. Although he did not want to admit it, she might have run away without notifying anyone. He left Lu Yihan's room and saw a child playing with a toy piano. Li Sicheng paused for a second and thought of someone else.
