Chapter 522: My Pregnancy Is Not for Continuing the Gu Family Lineage
Shi Ye turned his head and gave Nan Huiru a deep glance, his expression looking as if he were staring at a lunatic.For all his years of practicing medicine, this was the first time he’d encountered such a bizarre patient’s family member.
Aunt Zhu hurriedly stepped forward to explain, "Mrs. Nan, Madam really is pregnant. If you don’t believe it, you can ask Dr. Shi here."
Nan Huiru looked at Shi Ye doubtfully.
Shi Ye, however, couldn’t be bothered to deal with her. He went straight to measuring Ji Wei’s temperature and conducting an examination, instructing the nurse beside him to take notes.
"Mrs. Gu, stay calm, rest in bed, and recuperate. If anything happens, just press the call bell," Shi Ye advised.
"Dr. Shi, how much longer do I need to stay in the hospital?" Ji Wei asked.
"At least a week. The fetus is still unstable, so it’s safer to observe for a while to ensure its well-being," Shi Ye replied flatly.
"Alright, thank you, Dr. Shi."
Ji Wei gave him a small smile.
Nan Huiru stood to the side, watching the two talk, completely perplexed.
If it were an act, it was far too convincing.
Upon scrutinizing him earlier closely, she noticed that this Dr. Shi looked somewhat familiar, like she’d seen him in a medical journal before.
Could it be that Ji Wei really is pregnant?
After Dr. Shi and the nurse left, Ji Wei asked Aunt Zhu to pour her a glass of water, entirely indifferent to Nan Huiru standing by.
"Ling Ling, there’s still work to do at the company. You should head back for now," Ji Wei said with a smile, lips slightly pursed as she took a sip of water.
"Mrs. Gu..." Ling Ling glanced at Nan Huiru before speaking.
She was afraid Nan Huiru would make things difficult for Ji Wei again.
Ji Wei signaled to her with her eyes, indicating she didn’t need to worry.
Only then did Ling Ling leave.
"Aunt Zhu, I suddenly feel like eating some cherries. Go check at the fruit shop to see if they have any," Ji Wei said.
Aunt Zhu glanced at Nan Huiru, instantly realizing Ji Wei might want to talk to her alone. She promptly complied and left. The source of thɪs content is novelFɪre.net
In the blink of an eye, the hospital room was left with only Ji Wei and Nan Huiru.
Ji Wei didn’t initiate a conversation; instead, she held her warm cup of water, taking sip after sip. Her gaze lowered slightly, her complexion pale but still unable to conceal her delicate beauty. Her eyes already seemed livelier compared to the day before.
Ultimately, it was Nan Huiru who couldn’t hold back and broke the silence. "Are you really pregnant?"
Ji Wei moved her gaze away from the steam rising above the water cup and looked at Nan Huiru. In a clear voice, she said, "Yes, I am pregnant."
Nan Huiru suddenly found herself at a loss for words.
She had been yearning to hold a grandchild for years. Although Ji Wei wasn’t her ideal choice as a daughter-in-law, she was carrying the Gu Family’s flesh and blood. As the grandmother, she couldn’t be so heartless as to deny her grandchild.
After a long silence, Nan Huiru nodded, "Alright. Since you’re pregnant, I’ll lay my cards on the table. For the sake of the future grandchild, I won’t kick you out of the Gu Family. But don’t expect me to accept you right away.
Safely deliver the rightful heir to the Gu Family and don’t even think about using the child to threaten or manipulate anything. Keep any inappropriate thoughts to yourself."
Ji Wei suddenly chuckled softly.
"What are you laughing at?" Nan Huiru asked, her irritation bubbling inside.
She had rushed back from Britain in a whirlwind, planning to use the excuse of a fake pregnancy to drive Ji Wei out of the Gu Family. Yet, it turned out the pregnancy was real.
"I’m pregnant not to fulfill the Gu Family’s lineage. I love Mo Qian, which is why I’m willing to have his child. Using a child to trap a man’s heart—that kind of foolish behavior is beneath me. Besides, compared to my baby, the Gu Family’s wealth amounts to nothing."
Nan Huiru immediately countered, "When I returned, I heard the Ji Family was caught up in a scandal about tax evasion. In the end, didn’t you rely on the Gu Family to step in and save your father’s company? Not interested in the Gu Family’s wealth? Who could believe such hollow words?"
