An Acquaintance at First Sight - Chapter18

Ruo Lanxi supported herself by the table. The pain in her abdomen made her break out in a cold sweat. She could not hear what Ruo Lin was saying at all. Her mind was filled with praying for her child to be fine.

Her face was contorted from the pain. The assistant went up to support her. "Are you alright?"

"My stomach hurts!" Ruo Lanxi grabbed onto the assistant's hand. Her fingers were pale.

Ruo Lin pulled Xiao Zhijun and took a step back. She said in disdain, "Tsk, who is she pretending for? Brother Zhijun, don't be fooled by her acting. She's just pretending."

The assistant saw her dress that was dyed red and said in shock, "Y-You're bleeding. There's so much blood on your dress!"

Ruo Lanxi grabbed onto the assistant's hand and said anxiously, "Hurry, send me to the hospital. Hurry!"

"Alright, hang in there." The assistant helped her out. Xiao Zhijun's gaze became complicated and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

In the hospital, Ruo Lanxi was sent to the emergency room.

Gu Nancheng was in a meeting when the assistant knocked on the door and came in. He whispered something in his ear and his expression changed.

"Continue with the meeting. I have something to attend to." Gu Nancheng picked up his coat and left.

Ruo Lanxi had just been transferred to the ward for an infusion. The doctor was telling her about the will when Gu Nancheng suddenly appeared. His large palm fiercely attacked her neck. Everyone was so shocked by his sudden anger that they froze on the spot, not knowing what to do.

Ruo Lanxi held her breath and glared at him.

"Woman, do you have a death wish? How dare you hurt my child!" Gu Nancheng almost went crazy when he heard the assistant say that Ruo Lanxi was hospitalized because of a miscarriage!

This woman really had the guts to abort his child!

Without his permission, he made the decision to strangle his child on his own!

Gu Nancheng tightened his grip and Ruo Lanxi could not speak. The doctor quickly explained, "Sir, don't be agitated. The child is still there. The fetus showed signs of miscarriage but it was saved after emergency treatment. It did not abort!"

The assistant also spoke up for him. "That's right, Mr. Gu, don't be so agitated. Sister Lanxi just accidentally bumped into the chair. She didn't abort the child."

Gu Nancheng loosened his grip. Ruo Lanxi pushed him away violently and coughed repeatedly.

The doctor immediately put on an oxygen mask for her. Gu Nancheng was pushed out of the door. She looked at her hand helplessly.

The assistant stepped forward and asked cautiously, "President, are you going back to continue the meeting, or …"

Gu Nancheng was a little absent-minded. He felt that what he had just done was unreasonable.

He had completely lost control because of that woman.

"President, if you're really worried about Madam, I …"

"Who said that I'm worried about that woman? I'm just worried that Grandpa won't be able to take it if her child is gone." Gu Nancheng tugged at his collar. Annoyance kept attacking his rationality.

"Then … then what do we do now?"

The assistant was extremely depressed. For the first time in his life, he would have ditched the meeting and sped to the hospital if he was not worried.

"Go back to the meeting. Oh yes, go and warn that woman first. Don't let Grandpa know about this. He won't be able to take it." Gu Nancheng exhaled heavily. He walked out of the hospital and took a taxi back to the company.

The assistant looked at Gu Nancheng who was still fuming. He did not dare to say anything. He returned to the ward gloomily and conveyed his message to Ruo Lanxi who was lying on the hospital bed on an IV drip.

Ruo Lanxi lay on the bed and listened to the assistant's words. She clutched the bedsheets in silence.

She had thought that he really cared about this child!

It turned out that he was just worried that the old master's condition would worsen.
