Chapter 144: Restricting a pregnant woman is a man's job.

  Monday morning of Mr. Gu's

  Su Mei held a departmental meeting and roughly said that there were some problems with the cooperation with Huo Zhe's side, and someone would be sent over for communication in the near future.

  Other colleagues, upon hearing that they had to communicate with Huo Zhe, whispered to each other in private, wondering what kind of trouble they would get into this time.

  No one wants to take on this thankless task.

  Nian Qing furrowed her brow slightly, pondering.

  After the meeting was dismissed, Su Mei went up to the 34th floor.

  Every Monday, she would go to see Gu Qingheng on time. Either reporting on official business or being entrusted with official business, or acting as his agent for private affairs.

  Su Mei is very capable and can endure hardship. Over the years, while working at the Gu's, she has been constantly transforming herself, afraid that if she reverts to her old self, she won't be qualified to see Gu Qingheng again.

  In the elevator, there is no one else.

  Su Mei took out a small makeup mirror and a lip balm, and touched up her makeup.

  Before being helped by Gu Qingheng, Su Mei had a general impression of her own name. A fish's name, ordinary and cheap.

  She still remembers the first words Gu Qingheng said to her, warm and elegant, like a spring breeze.

  Is your name Su Mei? It's a fish's name, pretty good.

  ……

  At work.

  Remember to check the address of the hospital online, we need to go there at noon and take a taxi. The hospital is not near our company, she specifically chose one that's a bit further away to avoid running into acquaintances.

  Started working and it was already past 10 o'clock but Su Mei still hadn't come down, probably because she was discussing something with Huo.

  Female boss is not around, colleagues in the office are relaxed and casual about their work.

  A female colleague was slacking off browsing online forums and gossip when she suddenly said, "There's big news. The story of Official Young Master having a private child has an update."

  Qing's hands paused while typing, furrowing her brow.

  "Let me take a look." The colleague next door turned around, leaned in to look at the female colleague's computer: "So explosive? Still restrict others' personal freedom, rich men's hearts are really black."

  Ning Qing continued with her work, not wanting to hear anything about Guan Shaoye.

  Colleagues are gossiping: "This news just broke out this morning, and netizens on the forum are hotly discussing it. This woman held a press conference this morning. She said that she was forcibly detained by the local authorities for a month in the past, and unfortunately had an abortion. Later, with the help of kind-hearted people, she managed to escape."

  "My colleague continued: 'She's now, in front of everyone, crying and making a scene, saying she wants to expose the true face of Officer Wang. Everyone in Qing City knows that Officer Wang is a philanderer, but I didn't expect him to be so ruthless towards the woman who got pregnant with his child.'"

  A male colleague looked up and said sarcastically: "Locking up a pregnant woman is a man's job?"

  Ning Qing picked up several documents and went to photocopy them.

  Guan Shaoye's character has always been in front of the public. He is not a good man, but he is not so bad either.

  Does he privately restrict her freedom?

  She remained silent about this matter.

  It has nothing to do with her.

  ……

  At noon, break time.

  She carefully gathered her things and prepared to leave, fearing that the time at noon would not be enough. Colleagues were still gossiping about Officer Shao's scandal.

  It is said that this young master of Qingcheng's number one family has fallen to a negative image, and it is the price he paid for messing around with women.

  Ning Qing nodded silently in agreement.

  The phone in the bag rang.

  Ning Qing took out her phone to look at it, and it was a call from Yan Zi. She answered it, and Yan Zi said she wanted Ning Qing to accompany her to the hospital for an examination, without mentioning anything about Guan Shao's scandal. Was she afraid of affecting her mood?

  Qing politely declined Yanzi's invitation to accompany him.

  Since last night before going to bed, Yanzi became tense, as if she had already become pregnant, and was more anxious than her. She was afraid that when they were waiting for the results at the hospital, Yanzi's emotions would be contagious to her, and her heart wouldn't be able to take it.

  Leave the company.

  Qing got on a taxi and told the driver where she wanted to go. Her phone rang again.

  Dialing out, Gu Qingheng's phone number.

  Ning Qing unconsciously smiled slightly as she picked up the phone and heard the man's low, gentle voice asking her if she was going to the hospital.

  "Uh-huh, I'm taking a taxi and am on the road now."

  “……”

  "I'm alone by myself, no need for company."

  “……”

  "Don't bother Qing Heng, I can handle it myself, you don't have to go out of your way to find someone to accompany me."

  Gu Qingheng asked on the phone, "Which hospital are you going to?"

  Ning Qing told him the name of the hospital she went to.

  Gu Qingheng said on the other side: "I know a female professor with the surname Liang, who works in this hospital. You go to the hospital, no need to register, directly go to the 5th floor of the obstetrics and gynecology department to find her. I'll help you make an appointment later, she will arrange for you to have some checks."

  The clear melody rises from the fingers, gently pressing on the forehead.

  Gu Qing arranged everything for her, she didn't need to think about anything, and was so carefree that it seemed like she had no IQ.

  Gu Qingheng fell silent for a few seconds, his fingers tapping lightly on the table. "Don't say it's not necessary. Your time is limited at noon, and queuing up for registration takes a lot of time. I'll help you make an appointment, and after your examination, you can get the results quickly."

  "Uh-huh." Recite clearly and concisely, this is a shortcut to save time.

  "Be good. I really want to go with you, but since you won't let me, I should at least do something."

  "What you've done is enough." Nian Qing smiled sincerely.

  She knew that Gu Qingheng was worried, he wanted to accompany her, but it wasn't suitable. The hospital she chose was far away, and there was also a certain possibility of being seen by others.

  The consequences are very serious.

  Steal love, should be secretive and sneaky.

  After chatting for a while, they ended the call and Gu Qingheng was going to make an appointment with Professor Liang to help Nianqing.

  ……

  Half an hour.

  Shiqiao Hospital.

  Ning Qing went to the gynecology department as Gu Qingheng had said. She glanced around and saw that there were not a few people waiting for registration and examination. She found Professor Liang, who was a gentle and beautiful woman in her 40s.

  Professor Liang received a scheduled call from Gu Qingheng half an hour ago, had some understanding of Nianqing, and was mentally prepared when he saw him in person.

  A 22-year-old girl came alone for a pregnancy test. It can be seen that the girl's belly is definitely related to Gu Qingheng.

  Professor Liang was tight-lipped and didn't ask Nian Qing anything. He directly arranged for her to have a check-up, as she was someone he had personally booked an appointment with, so naturally the treatment wasn't ordinary.

  Finished checking.

  Nian Qing didn't have to wait long before Professor Liang handed her the test results and said, "Congratulations."

  Ning Qing's eyes jumped and her palms sweated as she quickly checked the test results, then suddenly looked up at the gentle-looking beautiful woman in front of her, who didn't understand what the congratulations meant.

  "...Not pregnant?" Ning Qing asked hesitantly, still worried.

  "Yes, you are not pregnant." Professor Liang said in the hospital, having seen too many unmarried pregnant women, most of whom were young like Nian Qing.

  This is not a good way out.

  Ning Qing didn't get pregnant, Professor Liang thinks it's a good thing.

  "Thank you." Xing Qing put down the huge stone in her heart, but instead felt a bit complicated.

  To be honest, if she were pregnant, she would also be very confused and wouldn't know what to do.

  If she aborts the child, she will feel guilty; if she keeps the child, she and Gu Qingheng's future path will be difficult to walk at any time.

  Both are under great pressure.

  It's okay, false alarm, she is not pregnant.

  She likes children and has fantasized about having a child with the man she likes. She knows it's not the right time now, but in the future, she will have her own children, and her partner may not necessarily be Gu Qingheng.

  Nian Qing thought about settling the bill, but Professor Liang didn't give her a receipt for the examination fee. He said that Gu Qingheng had already helped her pay it off. After she finished checking and got the results, she could leave directly.

  Nian Qing nodded and checked the money, it should be paid by Gu Qingheng.

  ……

  Leave the hospital.

  Nian Qing took out her mobile phone and prepared to call Gu Qingheng, first telling him the results of the examination by mouth. The inspection report, she would take it back to the company for him to see later.

  She knew that Gu Qingheng was also anxious.

  The phone hadn't even been dialed yet when another call came in - it was Nian Hai.

  Nian Qing furrowed her brow tightly and could only wait for a moment before telling Gu Qingheng.

  She picked up the phone and called out: "Dad."

  Nian Hai's voice came out: "Where are you?"

  Nian Qing was hesitant.

  She had just left the hospital when Nian Hai's call came in, and she was a bit worried.

  "She half-jokingly said: 'I just opened some cold medicine in the hospital and was about to leave, do you have something going on?'"

  "Hmm—" Nian Hai's murmur was full of meaning.

  The sound of the qin is clear and audible, evoking waves of emotions, thoughts swirling in a frenzy.

  A few seconds later, Nian Hai asked: "Do you know the news about Guan Shao Yan?"

  "...I know. This morning, colleagues in the company discussed it."

  Nian Hai said: "I plan to use this matter to make you and Guan Shao thoroughly cancel the engagement. This is a big scandal, our side has enough reason to request that the engagement be invalid, even if Guan Shao wants to pamper his son, he can't afford to lose face and insist on this marriage. Within this week, I will get Guan Shao to agree to cancel the engagement. After that, I will set up a table for reconciliation wine, you must come too."

  Nian Hai and Guan Lian, father and son, had several exchanges. Guan Shao's attitude was very tough, insisting that Nian Qing marry him, while Guan Lian indulged his son and refused to annul the engagement.

  Timely help is undoubtedly the most timely assistance.

  Nian Hai this old fox, grasped this opportunity tightly, he has done many things to take advantage of the situation, this time, he is confident that he can make Officer Jian and his son agree.

  "Dad, can I not go?" Nian Qing got a headache, drinking and socializing with wine, she must meet Guan Shao Fu's father, and even, Guan Shao Fu.

  Nian Hai let out a cold hum, his tone severe: "For your sake, I've come and gone so many times, losing face so many times. Once the engagement is broken off, Official Guan and his son will definitely harbor resentment towards our Nian family. Are you trying to make me lose face inside and out? Let's just drink a conciliatory cup of wine and in the future, if there's an opportunity for business cooperation, it'll be beneficial for everyone."

  A faint smile on his lips, thinking of a cold laugh.

  It's probably only beneficial for Nian Hai alone.

  Nian Hai is quite familiar with human feelings and worldly affairs, knowing that in the future, he will definitely encounter official troubles in business. Now it's a matter of tearing his face to gain benefits for the Jintai Bay project.

  Later, once Officer Guan has something to gain from it, Nian Hai can also turn his frown upside down.

  Both sides can be human.

  "Alright, as long as the engagement is called off, I'll go." Ning Qing said clearly.

  Have a drink and part ways, after this, she won't see Officer Shao's people again, it's settled!

  "This week, it will definitely be negotiated. As for Gu Qingheng's side..." Nian Hai did so much, with the goal of signing the contract as soon as possible and putting the project in his pocket.

  "Dad, now it's just waiting for your good news."

  Nian Hai didn't say anything else and ended the call.

  Ming walked past a newsstand on Qing Road, bought a copy of that day's entertainment weekly, and then took a taxi back to the company.

  The lunch break is almost over.

  On a taxi.

  Ning Qing was reading a weekly magazine, the headline on the front page read: "Guan Shao's scandal erupts again, secretly detaining his pregnant girlfriend".

  The boss of the newspaper stand just said that this weekly issue was replaced at 9 o'clock this morning, and before that, the headline news on the front page was not about Guan Shuo.

  Later, after the press conference was over, all major media outlets were changing their headlines for that day.

  Ning Qing glanced at the weekly magazine a few times and put it down, no longer looking at it.

  The whole story is roughly the same as what I told my colleague.

  It turned out that Guan Shaoyan had found Xianxian, who was secretly pregnant, a month ago. To prevent Xianxian from causing more trouble for him, he locked her up in a house on the outskirts of town and forced a doctor to give her an anesthetic injection. When she was half-unconscious, he performed an abortion on her.

  These words all come from Xi Jinping's press conference.

  Ning Qing turned her head and looked out of the car window. The transparent glass reflected her blurry outline, furrowed brow.

  Guan Shao Yan doesn't seem like a man who would resort to such ruthless means.

  She wasn't sure if there was someone who had framed her. Maybe it was because he usually behaved too recklessly and offended many people.

  Dialing Qing's cell phone, someone is on the line.

  Waited for over ten minutes and dialed again, still busy.

  Until the third time

  Just got through to Gu Qingheng's phone.

  Ning Qingcai had just spoken a word when Gu Qingheng interrupted, "Sorry, someone has been calling my phone nonstop. I didn't answer it, it's a troublesome person. Thinking you might call me, I hung up on the other party several times, did you call my phone for a long time?"

  "Three times." Ming Qing said with a sincere tone and good intention.

  Gu Qingheng frowned on the other side, very displeased that someone was delaying Nian Qing's time to find him.

  "He quietly asked: 'What was the outcome?'"

  Nian Qing borrowed two words from Professor Liang and curved his lips: "Congratulations."

  On the other end of the phone, Gu Qingheng's breathing suddenly changed, becoming heavy and urgent.

  He couldn't hear Qing's words clearly, he was more excited than worried, or perhaps, already regretful.

  "I'm not pregnant," Nian Qing said softly and honestly, fearing that Gu Qingheng would misunderstand.

  Half a minute.

  "Hmm." Gu Qingheng responded with just one syllable, concise.

  She pressed her lips together, waiting, and after a long time, Gu Qingheng didn't ask her anything else.

  Suddenly, she was a little unsure of Gu Qingheng's meaning. Was he relieved or...

  They don't want to complicate things, their relationship is complicated enough. If it can be simple, just keep it simple.

  She said to Gu Qingheng: "If nothing else, I'll hang up first."

  "Just wait a moment." Gu Qingheng's voice was slightly low.

  He has a lot of things to do today, the most important thing is to read Qing's matter. She didn't get pregnant, he needs to think about his mood. "I have some errands to run this afternoon and I'll be leaving the company. I asked Su Mei, you're working overtime today. After I finish my errands, around 7 pm, I'll return to the company. At that time, I'll look for you."

  "Wait for me."
