Chapter 115 Acting
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect the child to be so serious..." Bai Ying'an cried bitterly, took the tissue that Xu Yarong handed over, wiped the tears off his face, grabbed Xu Yarong's palm and sobbed: "Mom, the doctor really said so Is it? Is the child really hopeless?"

Xu Yarong patted the back of her hand distressedly and comforted her: "The doctor said that if the treatment is active, there might be a miracle. Ying'an, don't worry, the child is so cute, God will let her live."

"Really……?"

"real."

Bai Ying'an struggled to get out of bed to hug the baby in the crib, but was stopped by Xu Yarong: "Ying'an, your body hasn't fully recovered yet, don't move around."

"Mom, I want to hug my baby."

"Okay, okay...Mom will help you bring the baby here." Xu Yarong turned around and carefully lifted the baby from the crib to her arms.Bai Ying'an reached out to take the child and looked at him with tears of pity all over his face.

Xu Yarong's cell phone rang, she took a look at it, saw that it was A Si's number downstairs, and then looked at Bai Ying'an.She couldn't answer the phone here, and she was afraid that Bai Ying'an would not be able to deal with Sister He if she left, so she bent down and patted Bai Ying'an's shoulder to comfort her: "Ying'an, mother is going out to answer the phone, you put the child back on the bed quickly, Stop strangling him."

After speaking, signal the babysitter with gestures to carry the baby back to the crib.

After the child was carried away, Xu Yarong lifted the quilt again and forced her to lie down to rest, Bai Yingan secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and sank into the quilt.

It's just that with Sister He present, even if she was lying in bed, she had to continue to pretend to cry.She didn't realize until today that acting is still a very high-tech job!
******
Xu Yarong walked out of the ward, pressed the answer button when she came to the corner of the corridor, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

Asi said with a helpless expression: "Madam, Second Miss has been clamoring to go out to see the child. I'm afraid that people will find out sooner or later."

Xu Yarong hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you still arguing?"

"It stopped just now, but I'm worried that she will continue to make noise when she wakes up."

"Okay, I see." Xu Yarong hung up the phone, hesitated for a while and finally came to Bai Muqing's ward.

When she entered, Bai Muqing was lying on her side in a daze on the hospital bed, she raised her head faintly after hearing footsteps approaching, and then sat up from the hospital bed quickly.

"Madam Bai, please let me out? Please." She almost begged.

A look of anger floated on Xu Yarong's face: "Bai Muqing, I heard you've been making trouble here? Do you have to make this matter known to others to be reconciled?"

"I just want to get out, I gotta get out."

"What are you going out for? Looking for Mrs. Nangong?"

"No..." Bai Muqing shook her head hastily, and admitted solemnly: "Don't worry, Madam Bai, I won't go to the old man or let them see me. I just want to leave the hospital as soon as possible. Staying here, I..."

The more she talked, the more anxious she was, she couldn't tell her that she was going out to find her daughter, and she was afraid that if she was late, there would be no hope of finding her child.

She didn't know who that man was, and that man certainly didn't know her, let alone that she was under house arrest in this ward. It must be because of this that he hasn't come to look for her for a long time, it must be!
"Didn't you just want to escape before? Do you think I will believe your words again?"

"What exactly do you want?" Bai Muqing finally couldn't control her anger: "The child has been given to you, what else do you want?"

"I want you to stay here obediently, and you are not allowed to leave the ward without my permission. If you dare to leave the ward, don't blame me for treating your son badly."

"You...." Bai Muqing was angry: "You said you would treat him well!"

She was even more confused. It turned out that this vicious woman, like Bai Ying'an, only wanted to use this child, and would kill him after using her.Although she wasn't sure if the child was hers, even if it wasn't, she shouldn't be hurt by the mother and daughter!

"If you're disobedient, it's really hard for me to be nice to him." Xu Yarong sneered.

Bai Muqing clenched her hands little by little, stared at her and gritted her teeth: "If you dare to hurt my child, I will definitely make you pay a heavy price."

"How do you pay the price? Go tell the old lady everything, and then take the lives of your mother and younger brother to die with us?" Xu Yarong smiled mockingly, then thought for a while, and said: "But your words...remind me one thing."

"What do you want?" Bai Muqing had a bad premonition in her heart.

"Not much, I just think that maybe I should treat you better, otherwise you won't listen to me obediently." After Xu Yarong finished speaking, she changed her words and said, "You should have a good rest, I will let you go when you recover your body. Go out to reunite with your mother and brother."

"I'm going out now!" Bai Muqing shouted anxiously at her back.

"It's not enough now, dear, take a good rest." Xu Yarong gave her a comforting smile, opened the door of the ward and walked out.

*******
As soon as Nangong Chen came home from get off work, he saw the old lady sitting on the sofa in the living room resting, with Pu Lianyao beside her thoughtfully supporting her shoulders.

"Grandma, are you okay?" Seeing her like this, Nangong Chen walked over and looked at her and asked.

"Cousin is back." Pu Lianyao whispered in the old lady's ear.

The old lady raised her face and smiled at Nangong Chen: "I'm back."

"Well, what's wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable?" Nangong Chen sat down on the sofa opposite her.

"It's nothing, just a little dizzy." The old lady looked at Nangong Chen and felt even more uncomfortable. She didn't even have the courage to tell him that the child was born, and it was a pity that she was destined not to survive.

She believed that Nangong Chen would be more sad than her. Wasn't it just to avoid this situation when he opposed Bai Muqing's pregnancy?

It's all her fault. If she hadn't secretly changed their medicines and strongly opposed Bai Muqing's abortion, she wouldn't be in the situation she is today.

"I'm sorry, Chen, it's all my fault for grandma..." The old lady unconsciously uttered a sentence.

"Grandma, what are you talking about?" Nangong Chen was puzzled by her sudden apology, and re-examined the expression on her face.

The old lady smiled wryly: "It's nothing, I just think grandma is old and useless, and can't help you with anything."

"I don't need your help." Nangong Chen asked, "Grandma, what's wrong with you?"

Pu Lianyao glanced at the two of them, smiled and said: "Cousin, when grandma just talked about you, she felt very distressed, that's why she suddenly felt it. Grandma is fine, don't worry."

"So that's how it is." Nangong Chen comforted with a light smile, "Grandma, I'm fine now, don't think about it so much."

"Well, I just don't want to." The old lady straightened her body and began to look at him: "Why did you come back so early today?"

"I just came out of the client and went home directly." Nangong Chen stood up from the sofa: "Grandma, I'll go up and change clothes first."

"Okay, let's go."

Nangong Chen went upstairs, Pu Lianyao asked the old lady in a low voice, "Grandma, are you really not going to tell cousin?"

"Tell him what to do? It'll just make him sadder."

"But... how can you hide such a big matter from him?"

"Tell him the baby was miscarried."

"what?"

"Otherwise, what should we do? Tell him that the child is born? Will he live long?" The old lady smiled wryly and shook her head: "It's not good at all except to make him feel sad."

"But... what about my cousin? Will my cousin agree to do this?" Pu Lianyao showed a worried face.

"Her? Does she still have the right to refuse now?" The old lady snorted angrily, "If she hadn't insisted on giving birth to this child, would it have caused everyone to fall into such grief? And that child... …”

The old lady choked up as she spoke: "As long as I think of his pitiful look and the thought that he will leave one day, my heart will be pierced like a knife."

"Grandma, don't be sad, I understand, I will help keep this secret together." Pu Lianyao comforted and put her index finger on her lips: "Grandma, be careful not to let my cousin see you sad, he will suspicious."

The old lady wiped away the tears from her eyes and slowly stabilized her emotions.

*******
After finally seeing Sister He away, Bai Yingan turned over quickly from the hospital bed and let out a long breath: "I'm so exhausted, I've never cried for so long in my life."

Xu Yarong gave her an annoyed look: "Look at your potential, if you can't even endure this bit of hardship, how can you make a big deal?"

"Mom, try crying and crying all the time. The feeling can't be described as suffering. The corners of my mouth are about to cramp from crying."

"Okay, don't complain, things are going very smoothly, aren't they?"

Speaking of this, Bai Ying'an was finally comforted.

She took a bite of the peeled apple on the table, and said, "By the way, Mom, it's been a whole day, why hasn't Nangong Chen come over yet?"

"I'm also wondering." Xu Yarong sighed.

"Could it be that he has moved on?" Bai Ying'an thought for a while, and said, "By the way, I heard from Bai Muqing that she made an agreement with Nangong Chen that if he still wanted her after the child was born, he would come here. Take her back, if you don't want it...Oh my God, Mom, he doesn't want me, does he? "

Xu Yarong was a little anxious when she heard what she said. She thought for a while and comforted her: "Don't worry, maybe he's busy with work today and won't be here until tomorrow?"

"I'm afraid he won't come."

"No, don't forget that this is his biological son." Xu Yarong pointed at the baby on the crib with her chin.

"That's true, so I'll just wait patiently." Bai Ying'an took a bite of the apple in his hand, pondered for a while, and asked again: "Mom, how is Bai Muqing now? Is he still cooperating with our plan?"

Mentioning this matter, Xu Yarong rubbed her temples with her fingers with a headache, and said helplessly: "I'm almost annoyed to death by her arguing to see the child all day long."

"What should I do?"

"I'm also worried." Xu Yarong said: "Before the child was born, she refused to abort her life and death, which shows how deep her affection for this child is. I'm really worried that she will go to Nangong's house in the future. "

Hearing what she said, Bai Yingan couldn't even swallow an apple.

"If that's the case, we're all going to suffer from her."

"Isn't it?"

"So, Mom, we must not let her have this opportunity."

"The feet are on her body. If she really makes a fuss one day, we can't do anything about her."

"Then keep her from making trouble." Bai Ying'an said.

Seeing the insidiousness on Bai Yingan's face, Xu Yarong gradually showed a sneer on her face. She had been thinking about this question just now, but she had been hesitating whether she should do it or not.

Footsteps were heard at the door, Xu Yarong hurriedly gestured to Bai Yingan, Bai Yingan took advantage of the situation and lay back on the bed, continuing to pretend that she was restless.

Sister He put the insulated box in her hand on the bedside table, scooped out the chicken soup inside and said, "This is the chicken soup that the driver just brought over, young lady, please drink some first."

"I can't eat." Bai Ying'an choked up.

Xu Yarong went to her bed and sat down, patted her arm and comforted her: "Ying'an, no matter what, you always have to eat, you have just given birth, and if you don't keep up with the nutrition, it will have a great impact on your body. "

"But, Mom... I really can't eat it."

"I know you feel uncomfortable, but the child still needs you, so you must cheer up, and only when you are healthy will you have the strength to take care of him." Xu Yarong pulled her up from the bed: "Hey, drink some chicken soup."

Bai Ying'an took the chicken soup in grief and drank it.

Sister He said: "By the way, the old lady asked me to tell you, don't tell him that the child has been born and has congenital heart disease."

Xu Yarong's face was stained with suspicion, she stared at her and said: "Sister He, it's understandable not to tell Shao Chen that the child is ill, but if you don't tell him that the child has been born, this..."

"Tell him that the child had an accidental miscarriage." Sister He said.

Bai Ying'an was drinking chicken soup, when she heard her words, she squirted the chicken soup back into the bowl with a 'poof', and then coughed heavily.

Sister He turned her gaze to her and asked, "Young Madam, are you okay?"

"Ying'an, are you okay?" Xu Yarong hurriedly stepped forward to pat her back.

After Bai Ying'an coughed heavily, she shook her head with tears in her eyes: "I'm fine."

Sister He looked at her and asked, "Young Madam, do you have an opinion?"

Bai Ying'an hurriedly shook her head: "I have no objection, that's fine, the young master won't be so sad."

"Yes, the old lady thinks so too."

"Then... what about the child? You can't hide it, right?" Xu Yarong suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart.

"The old lady means that the child will be raised by your Bai family first. Don't worry, the Nangong family will bear all the expenses, including the child's medical expenses."

"The old lady is really thoughtful." Xu Yarong continued to maintain the smile on her face: "But this child is also considered a flesh and blood of our Bai family, and our Bai family should raise him, besides, our Bai family can afford it , this point, the old lady can rest assured."

"I'm relieved that my mother-in-law can think so." Sister He said with a smile.

After Bai Ying'an finished drinking the soup, he put the bowl back on the table and said, "I want to rest, you all go out."

"Then I'll go back first, and tell the old lady about it by the way." Sister He packed the insulation box and said: "I will bring breakfast over tomorrow morning, young lady, you should have a good rest."

"Okay, I will." Bai Ying replied.

After sending Sister He away, Bai Ying'an immediately sat up from the bed and stared at Xu Yarong angrily, "Mom, how could you agree to her request? You actually want us to hide the fact that Nangong Chen's child was born? It's too much!"

Xu Yarong stared at her: "Then what would you do if I wasn't here just now? Would you just refuse?"

"What if you don't?"

"So you're still not thoughtful enough to do anything." Xu Yarong shook her head helplessly, with a look of hatred: "How many times have I told you that you can't do things impulsively, you have to be careful, look forward and backward. Say something If the words are rejected, the old lady will definitely die of anger. You can first agree with good words, pave yourself a way out, and then slowly think of a way."

Xu Yarong sneered: "The old lady is really amazing, she let you live in your mother's house to take care of the children, she is clearly taking the opportunity to kick you out of the Nangong house, after the child dies, you have no reason to go back to the Nangong house. "

"If that's the case, isn't everything we've done in vain?" Bai Ying'an became short-circuited when he got anxious, and didn't know what to do.

On the contrary, Xu Yarong looked calm and sophisticated, the coldness on her lips deepened once, and said: "She won't let us tell Nangong Chen, but let Nangong Chen know for himself, if Nangong Chen insists on taking your mother and son back to Nangong's house, Then it's none of our business."

"Hey, this method is good." Bai Yingan was delighted.

"Of course, this is tantamount to placing a bet. We are betting on Nangong Chen's conscience now, to see if he will want your mother and son again."

"What if you don't want it?" Bai Ying'an's heart that had been so hard to let go hung up again.

Xu Yarong looked at her, and said word by word: "Then I can only blame your bad luck."

"mom……."

"It's useless to call me, who made his Nangong family look like zombies from old to young, from master to servant?" Xu Yarong gritted her teeth when she said this.

As the hostess of the Bai family, she has always been respected and loved in the upper class, but she did not expect to become like a pug when she met the Nangong family.

When her daughter became the mistress of the Nangong family, she had to torture that old thing severely. The more Xu Yarong thought about it, the angrier she became, and the angrier she became, the more she wanted to make the plan succeed as soon as possible.

******
Xiaoqing filled out the chicken soup from the insulated box, and handed it to Bai Muqing for her to drink.

Although Bai Muqing really wanted to cultivate her body quickly, she really didn't have the appetite to eat, so she had no choice but to refuse: "Let's put it down first, I'll drink it later."

"Second Miss, the chicken soup tastes better when it's hot." Xiao Qing persuaded earnestly, "Didn't we agree, take care of your health and leave the hospital early."

Bai Muqing wanted to be discharged from the hospital earlier than anyone else, and to leave this ward earlier, she gritted her teeth, took the chicken soup from Xiaoqing's hand, and drank it with her head up.

After finishing the chicken soup, when she handed the bowl back to Xiao Qing, Bai Muqing stared at her and asked, "Xiao Qing, I want to see Mrs. Bai, can you convey it to me?"

Xiaoqing looked puzzled: "It has been conveyed just now, Madam told you to rest well, and you can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow afternoon."

Bai Muqing knew that Xu Yarong didn't want to see her, so she had no choice but to say to Xiaoqing instead: "Then lend me your mobile phone for a while."

She wanted to call Su Xi again to ask when she would come over. In fact, even if she came, Xu Yarong wouldn't let them meet, it's easy to know.

Xiaoqing shook her head, with an unhappy expression on her face: "Madam said that I was playing with my mobile phone all day long, so she took my mobile phone away."

Actually took Xiao Qing's cell phone away, Bai Muqing took a bitter breath, maybe Xu Yarong didn't take her cell phone away because Xiao Qing was too busy playing with her cell phone.She wanted to cut off all contact with the outside world, she was afraid that she would ruin Bai Ying'an's plan to return to Nangong's house!

Bai Muqing felt her head becoming dizzy, she shook her head vigorously, what's going on?Why did she suddenly feel dizzy?

She looked up at the insulated box on the table, stared at Xiaoqing and asked, "Did you add anything to the soup?"

"Second Miss, it's Madam who sees that you don't rest all day, and wants you to have a good rest, so she added sleeping pills to the soup." Xiaoqing said truthfully.

Anyway, that's what Madam told her just now, so she followed suit and added the medicinal powder that Madam gave her to the soup.

"You...why didn't you tell me...." Bai Muqing's head became heavier little by little, and her consciousness was withdrawn little by little.

"Would you still take it after I told you?" Xiaoqing muttered, and when she saw her falling asleep, she pulled the quilt up for her, thinking that the effect of the medicine was too fast, and she fell asleep all at once.

*******
After Qiao Siheng returned to the office after attending an evening meeting, he immediately saw Su Xizhuo making a phone call in the corner.

He paused by the door, then walked over, looked at her and sneered: "What? Haven't given up yet?"

Su Xi raised her small face and stared at him: "Young Master Qiao, how many times do you have to tell me before you believe me, I don't have any unreasonable thoughts about Nangong Chen, I'm not helping him, but my friend."

"Before this, you have never told me that you have no indiscriminate feelings towards Nangong Chen." Qiao Siheng sat down gracefully on the sofa, lit a cigarette and began to blow clouds and mist, through the misty smoke ring You can see the coldness and displeasure between his brows.

"I've said it many times today."

"Unfortunately I won't believe it."

"what on earth do you want?"

"I want to go home early and rest." Qian Siheng stubbed out the cigarette in the ashtray, got up and came to her, and pulled her from the French window into his arms: "It's getting late, go back to wash and sleep. "

Su Xi angrily pushed away his arm around her shoulders, stared at him and said, "I still have something to do, you should go back first."

"What's the matter with you? Helping that friend?"

"That's right." Su Xi stared at him: "No matter what you think of me, she is one of my most important friends, and I will not let her go when she is in trouble."

After a pause, she then said in a complaining tone: "If you were willing to help me in the morning, things wouldn't be like this."

"What exactly do you want me to do?"

"My friend told me that her daughter is missing, and I want you to help find her."

Qiao Siheng looked at her, and then sneered: "Mrs. Qiao, you underestimate Xingxing Hospital too much. Losing a child will never happen here."

"Anyway, I'm going to the obstetrics and gynecology department."

"Which ward are you telling me? I'll call and ask for you."

"No need, I'll go by myself." Su Xi shook off him and quickly walked to the office door.

She thought that Qiao Siheng would control her freedom like this morning, but she didn't expect him to grab her back, so Su Xiru quickened her pace and walked towards the elevator.

When she walked to the ward that Bai Muqing had told her about before, she didn't see Bai Muqing. She casually grabbed the corner of a nurse's clothes and asked, "Where are the women in this ward?"

The nurse glanced at the ward and said, "She has just been discharged from the hospital."

"Discharged?"

"Yes, it just came out."

Su Xi was silent for a while in doubt, and then asked: "By the way, did she say anything?"

"No." The nurse shook her head.

Su Xi nodded and stood there for a while before turning around and leaving the maternity area.

******
The next morning, as soon as Nangong Chen walked into the office, Assistant Yan walked in and said solemnly: "Young Master Chen, I heard a very strange rumor in the company today."

"What rumor?" After Nangong Chen pushed the chair and sat down, he raised his eyes and glanced at her: "It's rumored that I'm with you again?"

"If it's the rumors of me and Young Master Chen, it's not worth my coming in to tell you." Assistant Yan said, "I don't know where the news came from, saying that Mrs. Young gave birth to a disease that was destined to not live long... the child .”

Nangong Chen paused when he was opening the phone, then raised his eyes to stare at her: "What did you say?"

"Everyone is talking about the young lady who gave birth yesterday." Assistant Yan repeated.

This is really breaking news, Nan Gongchen looked at her, and suddenly remembered the old lady's unattractive attitude when she came home yesterday, and the old lady's abnormal words and deeds.In an instant, I was sure that this news must not be groundless, but something real.

He stood at his desk for a moment, motionless.

Assistant Yan looked at him and said cautiously, "Young Master Chen, why don't I check the situation first?"

"No need, I'll go by myself." Nan Gongchen covered the laptop again, then walked around from behind the desk and walked quickly to the door.

When Nangong Chen was rushing home, he happened to meet the old lady who was about to go out to the hospital accompanied by Shen Xin.

Seeing Nangong Chen's car driving in, everyone was stunned for a moment. Before they could react in the future, Nangong Chen had already stopped the car, opened the door and got out of the car.

"Cousin, why are you back?" Shen Xin looked at him and asked.

Seeing his unhappy face, the old lady could guess why he came back.
