Chapter 410: Chapters 384-386: The Child Was Not Saved
Ji Wei knew that Tong Xi was insinuating about her and Leng Yan, but the anger just sat inside her, raging without an outlet. Her body trembled more with rage as she watched Xiao Liu grimace in pain, which tugged at her heart.
If Tong Xi kept cursing like that, she’d really go crazy. She knew she recently couldn’t control her emotions, and could accidentally reveal that the baby wasn’t Leng Yan’s, giving Wen Nuan and Leng Yan a chance to reconcile.
So, she had to drive Tong Xi away while she still had reason.
She gritted her teeth and stood up.
Tong Xi might dare to hit Xiao Liu, but she wouldn’t dare hit her, right? She knew Tong Xi well enough; despite her sharp tongue, she’d known for her soft heart, and she wouldn’t go too far.
"What are you doing? Don’t think I’ll fear you just because you’re pregnant!" Tong Xi, seeing Ji Wei stepping towards her with her belly, spoke in a firm tone.
Despite her strong words, Tong Xi felt a bit panicked. She quickly got up, wanting to sit aside, but suddenly tripped over something and lunged toward Ji Wei. Although she quickly leaned back to steady herself, she still bumped into Ji Wei.
"Ah—"
Ji Wei instinctively stepped back, but it was too late; she fell backward to the ground, immediately crying out in pain.
"Are you okay?" Tong Xi squatted down to help her, seeing Ji Wei’s pale, bloodless face made her deeply uneasy, and her voice trembled: "Are you hurt?"
"I..." Ji Wei cried out in pain, feeling warm liquid flow out, her heart and body wracked with agony.
"Sister Ji!" Xiao Liu also squatted down to assist, glancing at Ji Wei’s pants, then sharply shoved Tong Xi: "Look at what you did, Sister Ji’s child..."
"Child?" Tong Xi followed Xiao Liu’s gaze, staring in shock at the bright red on the blanket, her mind failing to process, as fear filled every corner of her soul.
"The child... Tong Xi, I’m not done with you!" Ji Wei’s weak and agonized voice finally brought Tong Xi back to her senses.
Tong Xi violently tugged at her own hair!
What had she done?
She only meant to vent a bit, but ended up causing a disaster. Her heart trembled, and she let go of Ji Wei’s hand, pulled out her phone, and called the hospital.
"Even if I did something wrong, the child... is innocent..."
Ji Wei spoke weakly, tears flowing ceaselessly as she looked at the blood on her body, glaringly bright on the snow-white blanket, gripping her fist tightly: "Tong Xi, did Wen Nuan send you?"
"You know Nuannuan isn’t that kind of person!" Tong Xi, unsure of what to do, retorted: "A good person takes responsibility for their actions, this has nothing to do with Wen Nuan! She didn’t even know I was coming to see you."
"Tong Xi, you’re truly cruel!" Xiao Liu, helping Ji Wei lie down on the blanket, gritted her teeth and scolded Tong Xi: "I know you came to stand up for Wen Nuan, but she deserves to feel that way since she didn’t get pregnant with Young Master Leng’s child!"
"Who says..." Tong Xi couldn’t help but retort, but swallowed her words.
She couldn’t reveal Wen Nuan’s pregnancy.
She turned to look at the weakened Ji Wei and the bright red on the blanket, her heart wrenching with regretful tears: "I’m sorry, but I didn’t do it on purpose... and..."
She replayed the events in her mind, feeling something suspicious.
She truly felt like she was tripped, and that’s how it happened; she’d pushed Xiao Liu aside, and then...
An idea struck her, and she wiped her tears to look at Xiao Liu: "I was tripped by you earlier, right?"
"What nonsense are you spouting!"
Xiao Liu’s face suddenly changed, glaring at Tong Xi, sharply refuting: "You tripped over the coffee table leg yourself, knocked over Sister Ji, and now you want to blame me? Ridiculous!"
"I distinctly felt..." Tong Xi bit her lip, looking back at the spot where she almost fell, and sure enough, it was the coffee table.
Could she have been mistaken?
She furrowed her brows in puzzlement, her mind buzzing in confusion.
The ambulance arrived wailing, Tong Xi helped load Ji Wei into it, Xiao Liu got in the car, and although she meant to get in too, Xiao Liu shoved her away: "There’s not enough space, sorry, take your own car to the hospital!"
"I’ll definitely go." Tong Xi glared at her, holding back tears that were about to spill over from fear, and entered Tan Qing’s car.
