Chapter 379: 379: The Happy Life of the Little Pregnant Woman (First Update
The day after the kidnapping incident occurred at eight o’clock, the dia released relevant reports.
Fang Lixiang, who was at her parents’ house resting for her pregnancy, saw it while scrolling through Weibo.
“Thud!”
The phone smashed onto the coffee table, rolled half a turn, and fell to the floor.
“Mr. Fang.”
She panicked, “Mr. Fang!”
Mr. Fang ran over from the kitchen, “What’s wrong?”
Fang Lixiang, with trembling hands, picked up the phone and handed it to Mr. Fang, “I think my eyes are playing tricks on , you take a look for .”
“Muttering nonsense.”
Mr. Fang took the phone and looked, then he froze.
“That’s not about Zhou Xufang on there, right?” Fang Lixiang sat down, her hands on her knees shaking uncontrollably.
A report trending on Weibo read: The girlfriend of a director surnad Jiang, a woman surnad Zhou, was kidnapped, her ransom note torn, and her body dumped in Xinhai.
Mr. Fang turned off the phone, “Of course it’s not, there are so many directors surnad Jiang.”
There were not many directors surnad Jiang.
Excluding Jiang Zhi, Fang Lixiang had only heard of three others, and none of their girlfriends were surnad Zhou.
She hurriedly tried to call Zhou Xufang several tis but couldn’t get through, and Jiang Zhi didn’t pick up either. She put down her phone and stood up to change clothes, “I’m going to Zhou Xufang’s house, call Xue Baoyi and ask.”
By the ti she ca out dressed, Mr. Fang was still standing in the sa spot.
“Dad.”
He held a phone, still in a daze.
“Dad.”
“Huh?”
Fang Lixiang went to grab the phone, “Is there another new report?”
Mr. Fang imdiately hid his phone behind his back, “No!”
Seeing his reaction, Fang Lixiang guessed what was going on. She snatched the phone and read through all the relevant reports. After reading, she threw the phone away.
“This Director Jiang just looks like Jiang Zhi, it’s definitely not him.”
Mr. Fang also nodded, “Yeah, definitely not.”
“Besides, these kinds of trending searches are false nine tis out of ten.”
“Definitely fake.”
Father and daughter consoled each other with these words. After they finished, Fang Lixiang collapsed into the sofa, tears starting to flood her eyes.
Mr. Fang, in a panic, tried to comfort her, “Don’t cry, don’t cry, it might affect the baby.”
She couldn’t help herself and cried loudly, “Xu Fang, Xu Fang is gone, sob sob sob…”
Mr. Fang couldn’t hold back either, tears and snot running down his face.
Just as father and daughter were crying sorrowfully, the doorbell rang.
Mr. Fang went to open the door while wiping away his tears, his vision blurred by them, he could only distinguish a silhouette: “Who are you?”
“Uncle Fang,” Zhou Xufang removed the scarf covering her face, “It’s .”
“Oh!”
Mr. Fang let out a hiccup, rubbed his eyes, and finally saw clearly. He jumped back in shock and stood there gaping for a while, “Li, Lixiang, the ghost of Xu Fang has co to say goodbye to us.”
Zhou Xufang: “…”
She didn’t want to scare them, so she didn’t imdiately walk in, “Uncle Fang, I’m not a ghost; look on the ground, I have a shadow.”
Mr. Fang was already in a daze.
The wailing inside stopped, and Fang Lixiang ca out, teary-eyed, and looked down, “There really is a shadow.”
Fortunately, there was sunlight at the entrance of Fang Lixiang’s ho.
“I’m not dead,” Zhou Xufang stepped into the house and tilted her nose upward, “Feel, I’m breathing.”
Fang Lixiang stretched out a finger and touched; indeed, there was breath. She breathed a sigh of relief and her legs went weak, “Xu Fang, I was nearly scared to death.” She hugged Zhou Xufang tightly, crying like a ss, “sob sob sob sob… I thought you were dead… sob sob sob sob…”
Mr. Fang: “sob sob sob sob…”
Zhou Xufang: “…”
After Mr. Fang and Xiao Fang cald down, Zhou Xufang briefly told them about the causes and consequences of the incident, glossing over many details, as it was not good to say too much.
“So you an soone wants to harm you, and to quash their thoughts of continuing to harm you, you have to fake your death?”
Zhou Xufang: “Mm-hmm.”
Fang Lixiang understood, more or less: “Who wants to harm you?”
“The enemy of Jiang Zhi.”
Jiang Zhi’s enemy?
Jiang Zhi was a bit of a bad guy, with really poor temper, and plenty of enemies; it wasn’t easy to guess, so Fang Lixiang didn’t bother, “How long will you have to keep up the act?”
“Jiang Zhi said at most a month,” Zhou Xufang looked at her with red-rimd eyes, touched, and feeling guilty, “I was afraid you would cry, so I ran to tell you. Don’t tell anyone else.”
Xiao Fang nodded, “I understand.”
Mr. Fang also nodded, “I do too.”
With that, Zhou Xufang felt relieved.
Then Fang Lixiang pulled her into the room, as she had so private things to ask her.
“Have you been to the hospital?”
She was afraid the pregnancy test might be inaccurate, and she had urged Zhou Xufang to go to the hospital for a checkup.
Zhou Xufang said, “I have.”
“It’s confird?”
“It is.”
Fang Lixiang joyfully shouted and went to rummage through the cabinet. “Xufang, do you want pink or blue?” She pulled out two shopping bags.
“Clothes?”
She took them out, one pink and one blue set of pure cotton dresses with cute prints, one with a dog’s head and the other with a pig’s head. “I saw them shopping yesterday, maternity clothes for sisters.”
The joyful little pregnant woman said, “I want the pink one.” She was a fan of pink.
Fang Lixiang took out the pink set and packed it up. “Right, when you go back, bring two cans of milk powder with you. Xue Baoyi’s mom asked soone to buy it, specially for pregnant won.”
The obedient little pregnant woman said, “Okay.”
“And these cookies.” Fang Lixiang opened a bag and fed her a piece. “Tasty?”
The satisfied little pregnant woman replied, “Mm-hmm.”
“Did you drive here?”
“I did.”
“Then take two boxes back with you. Pregnancy makes you hungry easily, these are sugar-free, safe for pregnant won to eat.”
The blissful little pregnant woman said, “Mm-hmm.”
At noon, Mr. Fang brewed nourishing soup for the two pregnant won. Fang Lixiang, the pregnant woman, stuffed Zhou Xufang, the pregnant woman’s car full, with all foods and items exclusively for pregnant won, making Zhou Xufang feel the warmth of maternal love.
Fifth Hospital.
Xue Baoyi had already been sitting in the hospital room for over an hour, showing no intention of leaving.
Jiang Zhi was working on his laptop, not sure what he was looking at, glancing over at him with the corner of his eye. “You quite free?”
Too calm.
Abnormal.
Xue Baoyi wasn’t as flippant as usual, speaking in a gentle tone as if talking to his wife, “Do you want to peel an apple for you?”
Jiang Zhi didn’t look at him. “Don’t just stand there, go do sothing.”
Xue Baoyi didn’t leave but moved his chair a bit closer. “No can do, what if you get any ideas—”
He cut himself off, knowing not to say suggestive things, especially to soone whose will to live wasn’t strong.
He changed his tone, even if his academic prowess was diocre and he wasn’t sure what to say, he just let all the toxic positivity he could think of spill out. “The dead are gone, the living must go on, we all have to look forward.”
“Ti is the best dicine; all this pain will pass, sooner or later.”
“As long as you live strongly, there will always be hope.”
“Don’t be sad, don’t be upset, both ti and I will be with you.”
Jiang Zhi looked at him as if looking at an idiot.
He continued ‘comforting’, “Everyone cos into this world to find sothing important, if soone leaves early, it’s because they have found it.”
“I will always be by your side, sharing your sorrows and uncertainties.”
Xue Baoyi was nearly moved to tears by his own words, he’d never said anything so heartfelt to his wife, yet after all he said, Jiang Zhi remained utterly unmoved, cold from start to finish, ignoring him completely.
This hopeless deanor.
Xue Baoyi was really worried he would follow Zhou Xufang’s footsteps, extrely anxious, “Think about Zhou Xufang, she definitely would not want to see you giving up on yourself because of her, you have to live happily for her to rest in peace.”
Jiang Zhi closed his laptop. “Done talking?”
Not yet.
He looked solemn. “Brother Zhi, take care of yourself, the murderer who hard Zhou Xufang hasn’t been found yet, don’t do anything foolish.”
“Don’t do anything foolish,” Jiang Zhi waved his hand, “you can go now.”
He wouldn’t leave; he was afraid Jiang Zhi might take his own life!
“Brother Zhi, if you’re upset, just cry it out, don’t hold it in—”
Qiao Nanchu ca in.
“Nanchu, get him out of here,” Jiang Zhi pinched the bridge of his nose, his head aching, “he’s too noisy.”
Qiao Nanchu kicked Xue Baoyi’s chair. “Co with .”
Xue Baoyi clung to Jiang Zhi’s blanket, with an expression of deep brotherly bond, “I won’t go, I want to stay with my brother through the hardship.”
Qiao Nanchu was truly astounded by his intelligence. “Idiot.”
Xue Baoyi suddenly stood up, ready to fight like an agitated dog, “Don’t you have a heart? Even at a ti like this, you can still say such things!”
Jiang Zhi didn’t know how many tis he tried to hint.
This idiot just didn’t get it.
Qiao Nanchu didn’t bother explaining anymore and simply acted, dragging him out.
Xue Baoyi refused to leave, determined to stay with his brother through tough tis, holding onto the door and bellowing at Qiao Nanchu, “Let go, I have a wife, stop pulling at !” He turned his head, sadly saying, “Brother Zhi, cherish her mory…”
This fool.
Qiao Nanchu dragged him out.
Outside, Jiang Wei’er and Xue Bingxue also arrived.
“I have sothing to say to Wei’er,” Jiang Zhi said, “Bingxue, please step outside for a mont.”
Xue Bingxue did not go in.
After Jiang Wei’er entered and closed the door.
