Chapter 394: Stay out of it
Chapter 394: Stay out of it
The news came as if lightning struck on everyone.
Jianyu blankly looked at the doctor. It took a few moments to understand it completely. He asked in a low voice. “What do you mean?”
He sighed. “Mr. Chen. Miss Serena’s condition was already weak in her pregnancy. She was too underweight, and she was depressed as well, which further worsened her overall health. She was recovering in the past month, and she needed time. But today’s accident has affected her womb. She was hit on her stomach. The complications in the delivery have taken a heavy toll on her health. She can get pregnant in the future, but the chances of holding that baby until the end are very low. That means she would always be at a risk of miscarriage in the future.”
Silence.
Everybody was taken aback by the sudden news.
Jianyu quietly listened to the doctor, nobody knowing what he might be thinking.
Huo Xiao Fan asked, “T-there must be some treatment, right? Can we not nurse her back to good health?”
Liwei gritted his teeth. “Of course, there should be! Medicine is so advanced now. Zhilan can surely be treated!”
The doctor sighed. “We will try for sure, but her condition is delicate. The chances are low.”
The nurse came out, carrying the baby in her arms.
“Waaaaaa….”
She smiled and gently said, “Mr. Chen. Here is your baby.”
Jianyu’s heart thudded for a moment. He stared at him for a few seconds before he stretched out his arms to hold him.
The baby shuffled for a bit before he comfortably settled in his father’s arms.
Jianyu laughed as tears gushed out, looking at his small body. His eyes were shut.
Chen Liling tearfully looked at her husband. “Guiren…our grandchild…”
Chen Guiren smiled and nodded. They were so happy to welcome the new addition in their family finally but at the same time, their hearts ached to know what Serena had to go through and what she has to suffer the rest of her life.
It was a harsh and hurtful feeling to live with to know that one cannot give birth again, even if they decide not to go for a second child.
“Mom…He is so tiny…”
Jianyu still couldn’t believe that he was a father now.
A father…
He had already steeled himself to hear that his baby was gone.
I am really holding him…I am holding our baby, Serena…
Chen Liling wiped her tears and asked, “Doctor, when will Serena wake up?”
“In three hours. She needs complete rest and silence, so I cannot allow to meet her right now.”
They nodded.
The baby slowly opened his eyes. Everybody was mesmerized by him.
Huo Xiao Fan smiled. “His eyes are just like my Zhilan’s.”
Huo Shen furiously nodded. They couldn’t tear their gaze away from the prince who looked so cuddly and cute wrapped up in a blanket like a little bun.
“Let me hold him too!” Chen Liling was excited. “Come to Grandma, dear.”
Jianyu handed him over to her.
“Oh, dear, he is so adorable!”
Warmth filled their hearts because of the baby. They couldn’t wait for their turn to hold him next.
But a cold and ominous aura surrounded Jianyu. The love in his gaze was replaced with a sinister and threatening look.
The men understood the change in the atmosphere and left the grandmothers with the baby.
Now, there was the most important thing to discuss.
They walked a little distance. Huo Shen gravely asked, “What the fuck happened in the banquet? Who dared to hurt my daughter so badly?”
Liwei clenched his jaw. “Who the hell hates Nana and Zhilan so much?”
Chen Guiren kept his hand on Jianyu’s shoulder. “I know you are angry, but we have to think about it carefully. We don’t want the culprits to run away.”
“I know.” Jianyu calmly said.
He finally saw the figure of his assistant coming towards them, who he was waiting for.
“Sir.” Fan bowed. “I have checked the footage.”
Jianyu coldly said, “Who were they?”
“Sir, they were Tang Ning and Tang Feng, disguised as servants.”
Jianyu’s expression turned grim while Huo Shen and Huo Liwei looked shocked.
“The Tangs…Wait. Are they Tang Suyin’s parents, who was your ex-girlfriend?” Liwei asked.
Jianyu didn’t respond, but his silence gave them their answer.
Chen Guiren expressionlessly said, “I see. They attacked Nana because they think that Suyin died because of her. They blame her for Jinhai taking the revenge. They attacked Serena because they couldn’t tolerate any other woman than Suyin taking her place in Jianyu’s life.”
Huo Shen angrily laughed. “They are seeking their deaths. They have to pay the price now. Liwei.”
He understood. He would send his men to assist the Chen guards in finding the Tangs.
Jianyu said, “Fan. I want them captured in an hour by hook or by crook. I want information about that man too who played the video in the banquet and is hiding them in the dark.”
Fan gulped. “Yes, sir! Young master Liu has also ordered his guards to look for them.”
Jianyu narrowed his eyes. “I am going to meet, bro.”
—
Liu Hai, Liang Zou, and Jinhai, on the other side, were having a similar conversation when the Chen and Huo family men gathered too.
The atmosphere was so oppressive and dark as if a huge mountain was collapsed.
Jinhai smiled. “Congratulations on the baby prince.”
But Jianyu was in no mood to celebrate. He came straight to the point. “I want the Tangs captured. Stay out of it, bro.”
It meant that he wanted to deal with the Tangs, so it was a clear warning.
Jinhai chuckled with an evil ring to it. “My dear cousin, you forget that they are my culprits more than you. Only I have the right to show them what hell actually is.”
Liu Hai sighed. “Hey, hey, now. They are equally responsible for Nana and Serena’s condition. So nobody gets a bigger piece of the pie.”
Liang Zou rubbed his temples. “Jinhai. First a fall, how did they get the video of your base where your men tortured her?”
