Chapter 571: Mo Qian, Are You Here to Take Me Away?
"Then don’t eat." Mo Qian said, "Anyway, the fetus is stable now. Tomorrow, I’ll have the family doctor come over to take a look and see if there’s any way to relieve the vomiting symptoms." He didn’t want to see Ji Wei uncomfortable every time she threw up.Ji Wei leaned against his chest and nodded.
After a while, she seemed to think of something and asked, "Did Mom go out?"
Mo Qian’s dark eyes narrowed, releasing a piercing cold light, "Even if she still remembers her friendship with Shen Yu, I will never compromise. Anyone who dares to harm you and the baby will not be spared!"
...
Two days later
Major financial and media outlets in Rongcheng broke a piece of news on their front pages.
Zhu Group was accused of mixing carcinogenic substances into their manufactured goods. All products were forcibly taken off shelves, and citizens who had used the products gathered with banners at the Zhu Group’s doorstep, demanding compensation for damages.
The internal management of Zhu Group also descended into chaos. Upon hearing the news, Zhu Ming’an suffered a sudden brain hemorrhage and collapsed to the ground. He was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment, and his fate remains uncertain.
"Number 2245, come out! Someone wants to see you." The heavy prison door creaked open as the prison guard shouted inside. Updates are released by NoveIＦire.net
Upon hearing this, Zhu Jianian quickly sat up from her iron bed, clinking her handcuffs as she walked out.
"Who wants to see me?" Zhu Jianian asked the prison guard.
Could it be that Shen Yu had brought good news for her?
The prison guard glanced at her, gave no response, and led her expressionlessly to the visitation room.
Separated by a transparent glass barrier, Zhu Jianian saw Mo Qian standing there. His face was cold, sharp, and strikingly handsome, just as she remembered—a beauty that suffocated her.
For a moment, she suspected she was hallucinating and stumbled forward in confusion.
In her excitement, she bumped her leg against the chair but ignored the pain. With hopeful tears brimming in her eyes, she spoke urgently, "Mo Qian, are you here to take me away?"
Tears of joy immediately filled her eyes.
It must be! It must be him here to take her away!
Unlike Zhu Jianian’s elation, Mo Qian’s expression remained frozen like ice. His sharp eyes locked onto her as he stepped forward, throwing the newspaper in his hand onto the table. His voice was cuttingly cold as he opened his lips, "Look at this."
Zhu Jianian lowered her head in confusion, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared, transforming into despair and bleakness.
The giant headline on the newspaper’s front page detailed the Zhu Group’s closure by relevant authorities. The more Zhu Jianian read, the more alarmed she became.
Especially when she saw the photo of Zhu Ming’an lying in a hospital bed with an oxygen mask, his hair turned snow-white overnight—she couldn’t withstand the heavy blow and collapsed into the chair.
"How could this happen... Why?"
Zhu Jianian mumbled to herself in a daze, then raised her head in panic, trembling all over as she asked Mo Qian, "Mo Qian, was this... your doing?"
"Your mistake was making that phone call." Mo Qian said coldly, devoid of warmth. "You wanted my woman to suffer, didn’t you? Sorry, but I’m fiercely protective. Ji Wei and the baby are my everything. Going after them was you digging your own grave!"
Every word Mo Qian spoke pierced Zhu Jianian’s heart like arrows.
She looked at him in utter horror, questioning repeatedly, "Mo Qian, how did we end up like this? Back when we were in Britain, we got along so well! You tutored me and even took me to the manor on weekends—"
Mo Qian interrupted her abruptly, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes: "That was because my mom asked me to do it. I had no interest in you whatsoever."
Zhu Jianian refused to believe him and stubbornly continued, "We’ve known each other since we were children. To me, you’re the most important person. I worked so hard to get into school in Britain—all for you. Back in London, weren’t we happy? But everything changed the moment you met that bitch Ji Wei after you returned!"
