Chapter 222: Chapter 222 Accident Chapter 222: Chapter 222 Accident Her heart suddenly jolted, and she didn’t dare breathe a word, not seeing anyone through the peephole.
The voice of Lu Xining across from her faded from loud to soft, carrying a sense of approaching ethereality that sent shivers down her spine in the silent space.
“Shen Molin ca looking for you, did you hear that?”
As the words fell,
Shen Molin heard the ‘knock knock knock’ of soone at the door again.
She was so scared that she hurled her cellphone against the wall, shaking uncontrollably: “Get out—”
At the hotel entrance, Qin Luyao angrily commanded, “Open the door!”
Hearing the noise from across the hall, Lu Xining smirked and retracted her hand from the wood panel.
Just now, she had simply knocked lightly, and Shen Molin thought it was her making noise.
It seed that her ntal state was also quite unstable.
Lu Xining imdiately ca up with an idea.
As for the thugs who were writhing in pain in the alley, clutching their groins, they were taken away by arriving bodyguards for handling.
With a “smack”!
Qin Luyao slapped Shen Molin across the face and, to avoid injuring the child in her belly when she was hit, had n hold her by the shoulders.
Tears filled Shen Molin’s eyes: “Mr. Qin…”
The man looked down on her from above, warning her, “Take good care of the pregnancy. If anything happens to the child, you will be worthless, understand?”
If it hadn’t been for the low survival rate of Qin Luyao’s sperm, and the won around him failing to conceive, coupled with the fact that Shen Molin happened to beco pregnant, he would not have bothered to desperately fish her out.
After the man left, Shen Molin rose from the sofa, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, shedding all traces of her previous frailty.
She glared at the closed door with resentful eyes, took out her cellphone, and searched for the collaboration between Fuxin Pharmaceutical and ZN Laboratory. Upon seeing the particulars of their partnership, Shen Molin caressed her belly as a venomous plan took shape.
Lu Xining, you won’t always be this lucky!
With Fuxin Pharmaceutical, an established company, standing as host and the statents from ZN Laboratory out in the open, the fertility and pregnancy-preserving drugs once released garnered the attention of many families.
They were mostly couples longing for children, but due to various substandard health indicators, had not been successful.
To prevent unscrupulous people from purchasing these drugs and forcing won into illegal and immoral acts, every purchase of these two types of drugs required real-na registration.
Moreover, clients buying the pregnancy-preserving products had to present a dical report from the hospital confirming the health of the fetus.
When Lu Xining proposed the second condition, Li Mai was puzzled.
After all, it would imdiately exclude a large portion of potential clients, which from a profitability perspective, ant a considerable loss of revenue.
Lu Xining’s response was just two words: Humanity.
People prone to taking unethical shortcuts for personal gain were not uncommon in life. Her rationale for such rules was designed to avoid fraudulent incidents.
Nevertheless, a flaw still erged after the product launch.
Many pregnant vloggers bought the new product and after several cycles of use, they all shared rave reviews.
There was only one blogger who never showed her face, and before each use, she specifically noted that the dicine was developed by ZN Laboratory, exhibiting great trust.
The daily punctual updates suddenly ceased one day.
When she resurfaced days later, her setting was in a hospital, wearing patient attire, and she disclosed that she had miscarried after taking the dicine from ZN Laboratory.
This revelation caused an uproar on the internet.
Moms all over the web were stirred up, rushing to hospitals for check-ups, overwhelming nearby dical facilities.
Among them, a doctor revealed that although these two types of drugs were effective, they were not suitable for all pregnant won; certain ingredients could cause fetal abnormalities.
Following this, a video of an elderly lady weeping erged.
Her daughter-in-law and daughter had taken the drug during the sa stage of pregnancy and subsequently miscarried during the sa stage.
The elderly lady lanted the loss of her family’s two precious treasures and demanded Fuxin Pharmaceutical and ZN Laboratory compensate for two lives lost, starting with ten million.
When one wave settled, another followed.
Lu Xining quickly arranged for her staff to visit these affected pregnant won after the incident.
However, all of them refused.
Regarding this, they had only one demand: compensation.
Lu Xining was confident in the product she had researched, but if soone truly had an incident, she would naturally take full responsibility.
The most important thing right now was…
Whether these people had encountered issues due to the dication that the laboratory had developed.
When Lu Xining received a call from Li Mai, she was on her way to the hospital where the elderly lady stayed, with the staff from the laboratory.
About the simultaneous pregnancies and miscarriages of her daughter-in-law and her daughter.
She needed to understand the situation personally.
However…
Upon hearing that the elderly lady’s daughter was in a private room, while her daughter-in-law was in a ward with multiple patients, Lu Xining did not show herself directly.
Instead, she sent others to find the elderly lady, while she went alone to see the daughter-in-law—Zeng Ya.
The inner western suburbs of the city center in Jingzhou are famously undeveloped areas.
Most of the people living here were descendants of those who had fled from other provinces, a dozen or so people cramd into a tiny space, just waiting for the all-out profit of a future demolition.
Compared to the warmth of several people huddled together in the private room, the elderly lady, her daughter, her son-in-law, and her mother-in-law, Zeng Ya’s side seed stark with only her lying on the hospital bed.
There wasn’t even a caretaker beside her.
Seeing her struggle to pour water, Lu Xining took the initiative to pour it for her, but just as she was about to hand it over, she realized the cup was cold.
“You shouldn’t drink sothing cold right now, I’ll go get you so hot water, wait a mont.”
Zeng Ya gratefully said, “Thank you, young lady, but it’s okay, I’m used to it.”
The grandmother in the next bed heard this and had her granddaughter pour so hot water for Zeng Ya, who again thanked her profusely.
She could hardly get up.
Lu Xining adjusted the height of her bed.
After helping her sit up, she softly asked, “Why are you alone, where is your family?”
Zeng Ya managed a bitter smile: “My sister-in-law is also in the hospital, in worse condition than , they are all over there taking care of her.”
Lu Xining frowned, “Isn’t your husband here?”
Speaking of him, Zeng Ya’s expression also soured, she lowered her head and spoke as if to reassure herself, “He’s with his sister too, he has only one sister, and he’s worried sothing might happen, he’s been there all night already.”
Is a wife not just as important?
Lu Xining found it hard to comprehend these n’s ways of thinking.
She revealed her identity proactively: “Don’t worry, if it really is a problem with the dication, we will definitely provide compensation.”
Zeng Ya suddenly beca sowhat uneasy, opening her mouth as if to speak, then hesitating, her eyes darting away, “Actually… ”
Just then, the elderly lady ca over with a food container.
When she saw Lu Xining sitting by the bed, her shrewd gaze imdiately beca guarded, “Who are you, and who let you co here?”
“Mom, she is… she is my friend, just ca to visit.”
Lu Xining wore a mask and a hat, and the elderly lady did not see her face clearly, but upon noticing the bare nightstand, her expression turned sour.
“What kind of friend cos to visit a patient empty-handed, didn’t know how their parents raised them, not a bit of sense.”
After scolding the thoughtless Lu Xining, the elderly lady directly placed the food container on the bedside, “Here, your lunch. Rember to wash the container clean afterward, I’ll have Dashan co and pick it up later.”
After finishing her words, she did not bother to see if Zeng Ya needed anything else and left, casting a disdainful glance at Lu Xining at the bedside before leaving.
anwhile, Lu Xining also received the response from her subordinates.
After learning of their identity, the elderly lady had tripled the amount of compensation demanded, and the current price had reached thirty million.
As she looked up from the ssage, Lu Xining saw in Zeng Ya’s opened food container, leftovers that were obviously eaten by soone else.
All the at was gone, leaving so burnt stir-fried vegetables. One-third of the white rice remained, and at the empty spaces, there were even chicken bones that soone had spat out, and the chopsticks were also used by soone else.
Seeing Zeng Ya about to eat, Lu Xining quickly stopped her.
“Don’t eat that, cold food isn’t good for your recovery.”
She had soone send over warm and light als, and as she raised the table at the end of Zeng Ya’s bed, tears filled the latter’s eyes.
Zeng Ya was sorrowful yet helpless, “I’m sorry, even though you’ve been so kind to , I still can’t help you, my mother-in-law…”
