Legendary Captain

Chapter 361 Transfer to the formal Air Force establishment

"Terminate the pregnancy." Wen Changxing's face turned pale instantly, and the pain on his aged face was almost unconcealable: "You mean, abort the child?"

"Chairman, Miss has a congenital blood clotting disorder. Although the symptoms aren't severe and don't significantly impact her daily life, they could be fatal during childbirth if she experiences severe bleeding." Dr. Zhang said worriedly, "Miss has a small pelvis and consistently high amniotic fluid levels, making her prone to bleeding during delivery. In a normal person, the uterus contracts on its own, and clotting factors usually prevent the bleeding from becoming uncontrollable. However, Miss has a congenital blood clotting disorder, making it far more difficult to stop the bleeding than in a normal person. Chairman, from a doctor's perspective, I do not recommend that Miss continue her pregnancy."

Having said all that, it's clear that if Wen Jingshu were to continue her pregnancy, she would indeed face an uncontrollable life-threatening danger at the moment of childbirth.

Dr. Zhang is qualified to be the Wen family's private physician, so her skills are definitely not in question. Dr. Zhang so solemnly explained the risks of continuing the pregnancy to Wen Changxing that he had to seriously consider this option.

"What is the probability of massive bleeding?" Wen Changxing asked.

"Chairman, this... I can't give you a precise probability, not even a range. Based on my experience, the probability isn't very high, but it definitely exists; it's not something negligible." Dr. Zhang said with difficulty, "If this probability comes true, it will be a real danger to her life. I don't think we should use Miss Zhang's life to test this possibility."

Wen Changxing's face was extremely gloomy: "That little brat Xu Xian. Dr. Zhang, if we don't keep this child, are there any risks?"

"The surgery itself isn't very risky. The baby isn't very big yet, so the safety level can be guaranteed. If we wait another month, or at most two months, the baby will be fully formed, and there will be some risks involved in the miscarriage then," Dr. Zhang said.

Wen Changxing breathed a sigh of relief: "In that case, let's terminate the pregnancy. Hesitation will only lead to more trouble. Dr. Zhang, please carefully review the plan to ensure there are no safety issues with the surgery."

"Chairman, the surgery isn't very difficult. I can guarantee its safety. However, while the surgery itself is fine, there will be a side effect." When Dr. Zhang mentioned this side effect, he hesitated, looking very troubled.

Wen Changxing's heart skipped a beat: "What kind of aftereffects?"

"Chairman, there's a common problem with abortion procedures: dilation and curettage (D&C). D&C inevitably thins the uterine wall. Your uterine wall is already quite thin; if you have to have it scraped again, it may make it more difficult for you to get pregnant in the future."

"Difficulty getting pregnant?" Wen Changxing knew that doctors often used euphemisms. If they said it was difficult to get pregnant, it probably meant that the success rate was only theoretically possible.

It's common medical knowledge that a thin uterine wall makes it impossible to get pregnant, and Wen Changxing understood the situation immediately upon hearing it.

Wen Jingshu's thin uterine wall is not congenital, but rather related to endocrine factors. With careful treatment, there is a relatively high possibility of achieving a satisfactory therapeutic effect.

However, Wen Jingshu's endocrine problems are partly due to her devoting a significant portion of her energy to work, resulting in irregular eating and sleeping habits. To permanently resolve Wen Jingshu's thin uterine lining, she would need to stay away from work for an extended period. This is unacceptable to the Wen Group, at least not under the premise of a sudden event.

For everyone, Wen Jingshu's pregnancy was a complete surprise, and now this surprise seems to have become a very thorny problem.

Neither advancing nor retreating seems to offer a suitable solution; there appears to be no good option.

In this situation, even the deep-thinking Wen Changxing was at a loss for what to do.

"Dad, what are you still hesitating about? What's there to hesitate about regarding Jing Shu's life and her future chances of getting pregnant? Even if Jing Shu doesn't have any offspring, our Wen family can still take good care of her." Just then, a man and a woman walked over from not far away. One of them was Wen Jing Shu's second uncle, Wen Ning Yuan, and the other was Wen Ning Yuan's daughter, Wen Jing Yi.

The speaker was Wen Ningyuan, while Wen Jingyi beside him had a strange expression on her face, seemingly lost in thought.

Wen Ningyuan approached Wen Changxing and said again, "Dad, what is this that requires hesitation and consideration? My eldest brother is here; he'll definitely support my opinion. Should I call him back and discuss it?"

At this moment, upon hearing her father call Wen Mingyuan back, Wen Jingyi's expression turned very unpleasant: "Dad..."

Wen Jingyi called out to Wen Ningyuan in annoyance, but Wen Ningyuan did not respond to her at all.

"You probably already guessed that the child in Jing Shu's belly is Xu Xian's. Given Jing Shu's personality, how could she possibly agree to abort her child with Xu Xian? If she aborts the child, her body is already weak. What if something bad happens to her if she can't handle the shock?" Wen Changxing expressed his concerns.

"Xu Xian! That bastard!" Wen Ningyuan gritted his teeth and said, "This kid is practically Jing Shu's demon! Almost all of Jing Shu's problems are related to him."

As Wen Ningyuan spoke, he glanced at the bedroom door behind Wen Changxing and asked, "Does Jing Shu know about this?"

"No, I haven't told Miss yet." At this moment, Dr. Zhang interjected, "However, this matter cannot be kept secret; Miss has the right to know."

"What right to know?" Suddenly, Wen Jingshu peeked out from the bedroom doorway, her eyes fixed intently on Dr. Zhang. "What happened, Dr. Zhang? Is there something wrong with my tests?"

"Miss, this..." Dr. Zhang subconsciously looked at Wen Changxing, whether to speak or not depended on Wen Changxing's opinion. After all, Wen Changxing was still the one who called the shots in the Wen family.

Wen Changxing was caught in a dilemma. However, when he received the questioning look from Wen Jingshu, he really had no choice but to confront the matter. He could no longer keep it a secret.

"Go ahead and tell Jing Shu everything you just told me. Don't hold back." Wen Changxing looked at Wen Jing Shu with a gloomy expression. "Girl, there's something that concerns you. You'll have to make the decision."

Wen Jingshu's expression darkened slightly. She unconsciously touched her protruding belly and said softly, "Dr. Zhang, please speak."

About ten minutes later, Wen Jingshu's pretty face turned slightly pale. She hadn't expected to face such a difficult choice: on one hand, her life was in danger, and on the other hand, she might lose the chance to get pregnant. Either of these was a burden she couldn't bear.

"Jing Shu, don't hesitate. If you can't have children, then you don't have them. What's the big deal? Your life is your own, and that's the most important thing. Besides, didn't Dr. Zhang say that a thin uterine wall doesn't mean there's absolutely no chance of getting pregnant?" Wen Ningyuan advised from the side.

Meanwhile, his daughter, Wen Jingyi, quietly tugged at Wen Ningyuan's sleeve.

Even though Wen Ningyuan said that, Wen Jingshu knew that Dr. Zhang was only refraining from making definitive statements out of professional habit. The fact that there was still a chance of conception based on his words was clearly abnormal, and even Dr. Zhang himself didn't dare to respond after hearing Wen Ningyuan's words.

Theoretically speaking, it is an opportunity, but who dares to place their hopes on it?

"Second Uncle." Wen Jingshu was in a state of great confusion. "Second Uncle, let me think about it some more, let me think about it some more."

Such a momentous decision cannot be made in a short time. Wen Jingshu wandered back to her room, seemingly lost in thought, as if she had lost her soul.

"Chairman, we only have a little over a month, two months at most. This is the longest we can afford to delay. If we delay any longer, it will be dangerous," Dr. Zhang instructed Wen Changxing.

"I know, I know." Wen Changxing pursed his lips, his brows furrowed, and his complexion was visibly poor.

Just then, a servant came in and said that a young man named Xu Xian wanted to come in for a visit. This immediately ignited Wen Ningyuan's anger, and he shouted, "Get him out of here!"

The servant was surprised that Xu Xian, this young man, could make Wen Ningyuan so angry, so she quickly nodded and prepared to send him away.

"Wait!" Wen Changxing called out to the servant, "I'll go to the door and say a few words to him."

With that, he bypassed Wen Ningyuan and walked towards the gate.

After Wen Changxing walked away, Wen Ningyuan glanced at his daughter beside him and asked, "Why did you pull me like that?"

"Dad, why are you advising Jing Shu to have an abortion? Just let her stay pregnant! If something goes wrong on the day of delivery, I'll lose an important competitor."

Although Wen Jingshu no longer has much contact with the main Wen family, Wen Jingyi knows that her abilities are far inferior to Wen Jingshu's. If one day Wen Jingshu is determined to take over the family business, the elders in the family still favor Wen Jingshu more.

But if Wen Jingshu were to die from postpartum hemorrhage, wouldn't I lose one of my most threatening competitors? Why not?

Wen Jingyi knew about the affair between Wen Jingshu and Xu Xian. Given Wen Jingshu's conservative nature, she might actually risk her life to have Xu Xian's child.

However, at this crucial juncture, her father surprisingly urged Wen Jingshu to abandon the child and preserve her own temperament. This was undoubtedly contrary to her plans.

That's why, when her father advised Wen Jingshu to give up the child, Wen Jingyi tugged at her father's sleeve in dissatisfaction, hoping that her meddlesome father would say less.

"So you're pulling my sleeve over this?" Wen Ningyuan said coldly, "You really think so?"

"Yes, isn't this a rare opportunity?" Wen Jingyi said without hesitation, directly expressing her thoughts.

"I see!" Wen Ningyuan sighed softly, revealing boundless disappointment and desolation. Then, a chilling glint flashed in his eyes, and with a flick of his right hand, he slapped Wen Jingyi hard across the face: "Beast!"

At the entrance of the Wen family ancestral home, Xu Xian introduced himself to the gatekeeper and could only wait for news at the gate. Not long after, the gate opened, but Wen Jingshu did not appear; instead, Wen Changxing stood straight in front of Xu Xian.

"Madam!" Xu Xian was completely surprised to see Wen Changxing. Slightly flustered in front of this elder, Xu Xian said, "I'm here to see Jing Shu."

"Jing Shu isn't feeling well, you should go back first!" Wen Changxing said indifferently, his words full of rejection.

Xu Xianqian said with a smile, "Grandpa, is Jing Shu pregnant? I'll go in and take a look, just one glimpse!"

"You know Jing Shu is pregnant? She just said you shouldn't know. I didn't expect you to be so well-informed." Wen Changxing suddenly smiled sinisterly. "Jing Shu is pregnant, so what are you planning to do next?"

"Of course, it's marriage!" Xu Xian replied naturally.

"Let's get married." Wen Changxing's gaze fixed on Xu Xian's face. He sneered, "Someone like you, with absolutely no ambition, does he deserve to have my granddaughter handed over to you? Xu Xian, if it weren't for Jing Shu's favor, you wouldn't be worthy of me at all. A man in his twenties, with no spirit whatsoever, no desire to strive, no ambition, and no sense of responsibility—does a man like you deserve to be the son-in-law of the Wen family?"

Wen Changxing practically smeared Xu Xian's worthlessness, and he wasn't exaggerating. Xu Xian's biggest flaw was his lack of hard work and perseverance; he was a complete good-for-nothing. Wen Changxing, a man who had struggled his entire life, had the utmost contempt for men like Xu Xian who lacked responsibility and ambition.

Xu Xian has had this personality since he can remember, and he has no intention of changing it. When he got engaged to Wen Jingshu, Wen Changxing didn't interfere at all. Why is Wen Changxing acting so strangely today?

"Grandpa, you..." Wen Changxing's words were extremely harsh, leaving Xu Xian momentarily at a loss for words.

"What's wrong with me? I can tell you, Jing Shu is pregnant. However, due to some issues, this child might take Jing Shu's life when it is born, so I don't plan to let this child be born." Wen Changxing directly stated the truth to Xu Xian.

"Then let's not have children." Xu Xian was open-minded about this, and he never hesitated when it came to saving the mother or the child.

"But if she doesn't want the child this time, she might never have another chance!" Wen Changxing stared intently at Xu Xian. "Xu Xian, I'm not some conservative old man. When you and Jing Shu were together before, didn't I tell you that I don't care what you young people do? But you must take precautions. Jing Shu's pregnancy is risky; she needs to prepare properly before trying to conceive. Didn't I tell you that?"

Before the Xu family went bankrupt, when Xu Xian was dating Wen Jingshu, Wen Changxing had indeed said those words to him. However, Xu Xian hadn't taken them to heart at the time. He and Wen Jingshu hadn't used any contraception when they consummated their relationship, and fortunately, he hadn't gotten pregnant. This time, he hadn't used any methods either. Or rather, Xu Xian had simply forgotten Wen Changxing's words.

He had always felt that Wen Changxing's words were a reminder from a conservative elder to a younger person: What do you mean pregnancy has risks? What risks could pregnancy possibly have?

Seeing Xu Xian's ashamed and bewildered expression, Wen Changxing already knew the answer. He said coldly, "You didn't take my words seriously at all, did you?"

Wen Changxing was aware of some of Wen Jingshu's health issues. However, these weren't particularly serious problems. If Xu Xian and Wen Jingshu had married, Wen Changxing would have had Wen Jingshu put aside all her company affairs and focus on improving her health while trying to conceive, thus preventing the current issues.

Wen Changxing did not object to Xu Xian marrying Wen Jingshu. In fact, after seeing Xu Xian's superb performance in flying for a while, he found Xu Xian to be quite pleasing to the eye.

But looking at it today, even though Xu Xian is incredibly talented, a man who lacks any sense of responsibility is simply not someone to be entrusted with anything!

Xu Xian ignored Wen Changxing's words and is now pregnant, but not with a child, but with a ticking time bomb!

"I know you're very talented. But your soul, your spirit, is lifeless. Jing Shu's current situation is entirely your fault. How dare someone like you even mention marriage to Jing Shu?" Wen Changxing said coldly. "Get back here. Jing Shu has nothing to do with you anymore. Someone like you is just meant to be a salted fish, basking in the sun one day, turning over the next, just like that every day. Jing Shu doesn't care about that, but I do now. Get out of here, and don't you dare come back!"

After Wen Changxing finished speaking, he ordered the door to be closed tightly, giving Xu Xian no chance to explain. He had no interest in talking to Xu Xian at all; just seeing Xu Xian's face made him furious.

Xu Xianzheng felt as if he had been struck by a heavy blow. He stood blankly at the entrance of the Wen residence, unable to recover for a long time. Wen Changxing's evaluation of him echoed in his mind again and again.

Just as Xu Xian's mind was in a state of chaos, his phone rang. Lost and disoriented, Xu Xian answered without thinking. It was Li Cheng's voice on the other end: "Xu Xian, I have something to tell you. Are you interested in officially transferring your unit to the Third Division? The Third Division has already made arrangements. If you're willing, they'll arrange for you to be stationed at Luohang Air Force under the guise of a special training assignment. That means you'll still be at Luohang Air Force, without having to go to the Third Division. And once your unit is officially transferred to the Third Division, you can get promoted in rank and position with merit, and your benefits will also increase accordingly. With your abilities, putting aside all the empty promises, becoming a flight regiment commander wouldn't be long. I heard that the division headquarters intends to award you the rank of captain, as long as you're willing to officially join the Third Division. You know, those high-tech talents who graduate from military academies only reach the rank of lieutenant in the army! Don't rush to refuse; we'll see later..."

She had already prepared how to "deceive" Xu Xian. But suddenly, a determined glint flashed in Xu Xian's eyes: "I'm willing!"
