My Lady, To Defeat Scumbags You Must Start Early

Chapter 661: Extra 074 Stay Away From Me With Your Man (Second Update)

The car arrived at Jin City Hospital.

When they arrived, the hospital had already prepared a wheelchair at the main entrance.

Mu Cidian made sure to wrap up Xin Zaozao securely before lifting her from the car and gently placing her on the hospital bed.

The doctors and nurses quickly wheeled Xin Zaozao into the prenatal examination room.

Mu Cidian and Song Lifei waited outside the room.

Both men stood in the corridor, feeling anxious.

Song Lifei glanced at Mu Cidian, noticing his unblinking gaze toward the inside of the room.

Song Lifei chuckled, “Can’t resist worrying about your own kid in danger, can you?”

Mu Cidian turned his head toward him.

He was indeed very worried, his heart still throbbing in his chest.

“Rather than suppress your emotions like this, you might as well be straightforward and cherish the time you have with Xin Zaozao,” Alluded Song Lifei casually.

Mu Cidian didn’t reply.

Not knowing what to say and not in the mood for anything else at the moment, he continued staring at the prenatal examination room.

A while later…

Xin Zaozao, donning a hospital gown, was rolled out of the examination room by a nurse.

Mu Cidian and Song Lifei quickly rushed over.

The doctor said, “As of now, everything seems normal. However, we can’t rule out any potential issues occurring later, so we suggest that she stays overnight in the hospital for observation.”

“Okay,” responded Mu Cidian, nodding enthusiastically.

“Who’s the father of the child?” the doctor suddenly asked.

Mu Cidian was taken aback.

Song Lifei was also stunned.

The doctor frowned.

“Neither of them,” Xin Zaozao suddenly answered.

The doctor was even more puzzled.

Xin Zaozao usually came for her prenatal checks alone. To see two young men with her today, she had assumed one of them was the father of the baby.

“Neither of them. Just tell me what I need to know,” Xin Zaozao said.

Now that her body had warmed up, she was also becoming more emotionally stable.

The doctor paused for a few seconds, then gazed at the two men in front of her and said cautiously, “You’re currently in your eighth month of pregnancy. Any more stress like this could easily induce a premature birth. And I believe I don’t need to elaborate on how detrimental that would be to the baby. So, I would advise you to slow down and rest, perhaps even pause your work for now.”

“Okay, got it,” Xin Zaozao agreed.

“You’ll stay in the hospital for the day, and if everything remains normal, you can be discharged tomorrow.”

“Thank you, doctor.”

The doctor nodded lightly and left.

At this point, the nurse was pushing Xin Zaozao back to the ward.

Mu Cidian and Song Lifei also entered the ward.

Just when they had entered…

Song Lifei’s phone suddenly rang and he answered, “Hello?”

“Hello, we are the police from Lei Town. We received a report that someone from Lei village has assaulted you. Is this true?”

“Yes,” Song Lifei replied instantly.

“In that case, could you please come to the police station? We need to understand the details of the situation.”

“Now?”

“Yes, now.”

Song Lifei hesitated, glancing at Xin Zaozao, “The police want me to go to the station for questioning.”

“Go ahead.” Xin Zaozao said bluntly.

“But you…”

“I’m fine.”

Seeing that Mu Cidian was still around, Song Lifei thought for a moment and said into the phone, “Alright, I’ll be there shortly.”

He ended the call.

Xin Zaozao said, “Take this chance to probe them at the station about what we’ve found out today.”

“You mean what happened at Lei Village today…” Song Lifei was cut off before he could finish.

Xin Zaozao interrupted, “As long as you know.”

She was obviously wary of Mu Cidian.

Song Lifei glanced at Mu Cidian.

Mu Cidian showed no expression, seemingly accustomed to it.

Song Lifei said, “Then I’ll be going now.”

“Alright.”

Song Lifei left.

“Your coat?” Mu Cidian handed him his coat.

“And you?”

“Here.” Mu Cidian was holding the sweater that Xin Zaozao had taken off.

Song Lifei nodded, putting on the coat as he walked out.

Mu Cidian put on his clothes again.

Xin Zaozao lay on the bed, and with some effort, she rolled over, “You should go too, I’m tired.”

Mu Cidian didn’t respond.

Xin Zaozao didn’t want to say more.

She closed her eyes, pretending to sleep.

She was thinking about the scene of being pushed into the water.

Was it her imagination, or did Lei Qian really push her?!

She pursed her lips.

Displaying no particular emotion, she forced herself to sleep.

She needed to relax and sleep helped.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Thinking back to the event made her shudder even now.

If anything happened to the baby…

She couldn’t bear to imagine what would happen if anything happened to the baby!

She drifted off to sleep with these thoughts.

Mu Cidian saw Xin Zaozao had fallen asleep but he didn’t leave.

He didn’t know how she was doing physically or how the baby was doing…Truth be told, he didn’t want to leave.

At this point, the lower half of his body was soaked through.

Even in such a warm room, he still felt bone-chilling cold.

Seeing that Xin Zaozao was asleep, he found a set of male hospital clothes from a VIP room, went to the bathroom, and took a hot shower.

After the shower, he put on the hospital clothes, sat on the sofa, and stayed silently with her, making no noise.

At the moment, he was also thinking about the situation at Lei Village.

He also felt that the situation was extremely complicated.

He even began to suspect Lei Qiang.

Lei Qiang had invested in it and had been defrauded of some of his property, but he didn’t seem to be as agitated as the villagers.

It was understandable for him, as the village head, to set a good example, but being too calm and not demanding further investigation was indeed strange.

Mu Cidian stayed silent, deep in thought.

Suddenly, there was some noise in the room.

Mu Cidian turned his head and saw Xin Zaozao, who was sleeping on the bed, seemed to say something.

He quickly got up and asked, “What are you saying?”

“…” Xin Zaozao muttered several sentences, but it was impossible to comprehend what she was saying.

“Xin Zaozao.” Mu Cidian grabbed her hand and moved closer, “What are you saying, do you want to drink water?”

Xin Zaozao shook her head, again and again, her mouth mumbling incoherently.

But she looked clearly like she was having a nightmare, with an extremely terrified expression on her face.

“Zaozao.” Mu Cidian shook her shoulder, “Wake up, are you having a nightmare?”

Xin Zaozao carried on mumbling.

“Zaozao.” Mu Cidian held her tightly in his arms, “Wake up…”

Xin Zaozao writhed.

She seemed to resist continually, as if rejecting someone in her nightmare.

Suddenly.

She cried out loudly, “No!”

At that moment, her eyes suddenly flew open.

The looked filled with fear.

She breathed heavily, gasping for air without pause.

At that moment, she didn’t even know where she was, or whether this was a dream or reality.

She had just seen Wan Quan.

She knew she was dead, but she still saw her.

She saw her walking towards her, saw her seize her neck viciously and said relentlessly, “I will never allow you to give birth to Mu Cidian’s child, never…”

No matter how she resisted, she seemed unable to break free.

All she could see before her eyes was Wan Quan’s ferocious countenance, her utterly malicious expression.

No.

No!

She opened her eyes, the rims already red.

She could not die, she could not lose the baby.

Mu Cidian seemed to feel Xin Zaozao waking up.

He gently let her go, but still allowed her to remain lying in his arms, watching as her tears slipped down her cheeks, and she seemed completely oblivious to it.

He asked, “Are you awake?”

Xin Zaozao seemed to recover herself at that moment.

Everything that just happened felt too real, so real that she just couldn’t react.

She stared straight at Mu Cidian before her.

“You just had a nightmare, everything is alright now.” Mu Cidian comforted.

His low voice was very gentle, as if trying to soothe her.

At that moment, Xin Zaozao chuckled coldly.

She really didn’t care for Mu Cidian’s sudden compassion.

She even felt disgusted.

Thinking about Wan Quan’s face just now, she wanted to kill every person associated with Wan Quan.

Xin Zaozao had just gathered the strength to push Mu Cidian away.

“What are you doing?” A female voice suddenly came from outside the sickroom door.

Both of them turned their heads at the same time.

Lei Qian appeared at the door.

She just stood there watching them.

Watching them embracing each other.

Watching them holding each other so tightly.

For so long, Mu Cidian had never been so affectionate towards her.

She watched the scene before her in disbelief.

Lei Qian’s inability to accept this contrasted with the calm demeanour of the pair.

Calmly, Xin Zaozao pushed Mu Cidian away, and Mu Cidian let go of Xin Zaozao.

Lei Qian walked to Mu Cidian’s side and stuttered, “You, you…”

“She just had a nightmare.” Mu Cidian explained.

“She had a nightmare? Does having a nightmare require you two to hold each other?” Lei Qian felt like she was falling apart.

Yet she kept trying to control her emotions.

Mu Cidian remained silent.

“Cidian, we are married.” Lei Qian said, emphasizing each word.

Upon hearing this, Xin Zaozao, who seemed to be indifferent, looked at them sideways.

She chuckled coldly.

“How can you be with Xin Zaozao behind my back…” Lei Qian, seeing Mu Cidian not answering her, couldn’t help but continue.

When she spoke, her voice quivered.

“The only explanation I can give you is, it’s not what you think it is, at least not at this moment.”

What does ‘not at this moment’ mean?

Does he mean that the next moment, the very next moment, it will be?

Is he saying that he will still be with Xin Zaozao in the future?

No.

She could not accept it.

She waited for Mu Cidian for so long, and it took her so long to be with him, she would not give up that easily.

Her tears suddenly began to flow, she looked so heartbroken and vulnerable.

Mu Cidian looked at her tears and chose to ignore her.

Feeling his indifference, Lei Qian’s voice cracked as she said, “I even bought fruit to see Xin Zaozao.”

As she spoke, she lifted the fruit basket in her hand.

She said, “I still feel guilty. After all, the accident happened to Xin Zaozao in my Lei Family village, so I wanted to visit her. I admit that I was really jealous when you were going to leave with Xin Zaozao, but then I calmed down and realized I was wrong, so I wanted to use the fruit to apologize to Xin Zaozao. I didn’t expect, I didn’t expect, you guys would treat me like this…”

The more she spoke, the more emotional she got and she started crying harder.

Xin Zaozao couldn’t stand it anymore.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to reason with Lei Qian, but rather she just disdained reasoning with a woman like her. In the end, she was nothing more than a stranger.

Xin Zaozao spoke curtly, “Rest assured, I’m not interested in your man, Mu Cidian.”

Lei Qian was taken aback.

She looked at Xin Zaozao through her tearful eyes.

Mu Cidian too was watching her.

“The men I didn’t care for before, I won’t be interested in now.” Xin Zaozao was indifferent.

“Xin Zaozao, how can you talk about Cidian like that…”

“I’m not contending with you not because I’m afraid to, but because I disdain doing so. You better be careful. I’m not as easy to trouble as you think.” Looking at Lei Qian, Xin Zaozao threatened, word by word.

Lei Qian understood what Xin Zaozao was threatening her with.

The incident today, only both of them knew why it had happened.

“I just misunderstood your relationship with Mu Cidian, why do you have to target me like this?” Lei Qian deliberately acted like she didn’t understand, she made a face of grievance. Against Xin Zaozao’s strong front, she seemed like a vulnerable little bunny that needed protection.

Xin Zaozao’s eyes turned icy, “Lei Qian. Mark my words. I’m not afraid of Wan Quan, let alone someone like you!”

Lei Qian’s heart tightened.

She was genuinely frightened by Xin Zaozao’s gaze and tone.

She knew Xin Zaozao, as the chairwoman of the Xin family, was definitely not an ordinary woman. She hadn’t personally experienced it before, so she was obviously a bit scared now.

Xin Zaozao’s gaze turned, “Take your fruit, and your man, and stay far away from me!”

Her eviction order was strong and resolute!
