Five years without pregnancy means you're too weak; I remarried a powerful man and had triplets

As Xu Zhesheng emerged from the obstetrics and gynecology ward, the suppressed anger in his chest now flared up like dry tinder doused with oil, burning his eyes until they were bloodshot.

Su Manman's reasonable analysis completely extinguished his last shred of rationality.

Yes, it must have been a scheme orchestrated by Lu Zichuan and Shen Zhiyi!

That so-called expert report was nothing more than a despicable tactic they used to cover up the hospital scandal and, incidentally, to completely destroy him in the divorce proceedings!

The more he thought about it, the more he realized it made sense.

That woman, Shen Zhiyi, pretends to be aloof and innocent on the surface, but secretly she's having an affair with Lu Zichuan. Now she's even resorting to such despicable tricks!

He saw Shen Zhiyi, Shen Haozhi, and Shen Ji in the corridor just now, but he didn't see Xu Jing. He guessed that Xu Jing was in the hospital.

He casually asked a nurse at the front desk and got Xu Jing's room number.

He stormed into Xu Jing's hospital room with murderous intent.

"Bang!"

He pushed the ward door open forcefully, and the door frame slammed against the wall and bounced back with a loud bang.

Inside the ward, Shen Zhiyi was sitting by the bed, peeling an apple for Xu Jing, who was lying in bed half asleep. Shen Haozhi was peeling a pear, while Shen Ji was making tea. Tan Gui was carefully studying Xu Jing's medical records.

The sudden loud noise made everyone look up, their eyes all falling on the man with a fierce expression standing at the door.

Shen Zhiyi paused, looking at Xu Zhesheng's face, which was twisted with anger, and her brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

"Xu Zhesheng?! What are you up to now?" Shen Haozhi spoke first, his tone as cold as ice. "This is a hospital, not a place for your Xu family to run wild."

Xu Zhesheng didn't even glance at Shen Haozhi for a second. His gaze was like a sharp knife, fixed on Shen Zhiyi. He stepped forward, his voice hoarse: "Shen Zhiyi, you're ruthless!"

Shen Zhiyi put down the fruit knife, placed the apple on the bedside table next to her mother, slowly stood up, and looked him in the eye: "Me, ruthless? Xu Zhesheng, what exactly do you want by barging into my mother's hospital room with all this noise?"

"You are not welcome here, please leave!"

"Keep pretending! Keep pretending!" Xu Zhesheng suddenly raised the crumpled medical report in his hand and slammed it to the ground. "This report was forged by you and Lu Zichuan, wasn't it! To cover up the scandal of your best friend altering your hospital records, and to ensure I leave with nothing in the divorce, you've really gone to any lengths!"

He became more and more agitated as he spoke, his face turning red: "You think you can fool me with something like this? I was so stupid to believe you and confront Manman. But she's right. If she were really that promiscuous, she would be famous all over the country by now. How could she only get the title of 'rising star' this year?"

"Shen Zhiyi, you're so vicious! If you have a problem, come at me directly! Why drag them, mother and daughter, into this? Is it because you can't have children? I've already said I don't mind, as long as you raise her child as your own, we can still live together. But you're unwilling!"

"Now you're using this to make a fuss again. You really can't stand seeing Manman do well, and you can't stand seeing me do well?!"

Looking at his self-deceiving appearance, Shen Zhiyi felt it was utterly absurd.

She laughed angrily, her eyes full of disdain: "Xu Zhesheng, what else can you do besides deceiving yourself? That report clearly states everything in black and white. If you don't believe me, why don't you go to the hospital and get it verified yourself? What are you doing here causing trouble?"

"My mother needs to rest, so get out of here right now!"

She pointed to the door, not wanting to say another word to Xu Zhesheng.

"You think I'll just leave because you tell me to?" Xu Zhesheng sneered. "If I actually get that paternity test done, wouldn't I have fallen for your trap? How would everyone around me view Manman from now on? How would they view our daughter?"

"You were so confident in producing that fake report because you knew I wouldn't do it! Didn't expect that, did you? You were exposed by such a simple reason!"

"Shen Zhiyi, you're disappointed, aren't you!" Xu Zhesheng looked at the disdain in Shen Zhiyi's eyes, and felt a surge of anger that he could no longer contain. He rushed forward and reached out to grab Shen Zhiyi's wrist: "Today you must apologize to Manman and admit that you fabricated evidence, otherwise, I'll make a scene in the entire hospital and let everyone see you, this wicked woman who can't have children and has a vicious mind!"

As soon as he moved, Shen Haozhi and Shen Ji immediately stepped forward. Tan Gui, who already disliked Xu Zhesheng, also threw down the medical record in her hand and rushed over to protect Shen Zhiyi.

"You dare touch her!"

A voice, cold and devoid of any warmth, came from the doorway.

Xu Zhesheng's hand froze in mid-air, and he suddenly turned around.

Lu Zichuan was already standing at the door at some point. He was still wearing a well-tailored dark suit, with a tall and straight figure and a frighteningly calm aura.

His assistant, Wang, was tall and imposing, quietly following behind him, waiting for his command so that he could step forward, carry Xu Zhesheng, and throw him out of the ward.

The two stood there quietly, but the temperature in the ward suddenly dropped several degrees.

Lu Zichuan's gaze didn't linger on Xu Zhesheng for even half a second. He walked straight towards Shen Zhiyi, reached out, and shielded her behind him, his actions natural yet carrying an undeniable protective instinct.

After doing all this, he slowly raised his eyes and looked at Xu Zhesheng with the same look he had when looking at a dead man.

Xu Zhesheng's injuries from yesterday's beating haven't fully healed yet. His right hand is in a sling across his chest, and his face is still bruised. Lu Zichuan glanced at him and said, "Director Xu, it seems yesterday's lesson wasn't enough to teach you a lesson."

Xu Zhesheng felt uneasy under his gaze, but remembering what Su Manman had said earlier, and seeing Lu Zichuan and Shen Zhiyi standing together, he found it extremely irritating. He forced himself to straighten his back. "Lu Zichuan, stop pretending! That report is fake. To help Shen Zhiyi, you went so far as to have the hospital issue a false certificate to cover up her best friend forging documents for her. Let me tell you, if I take this to court, even your Lu family won't be able to settle this easily!"

Lu Zichuan raised his eyebrows slightly upon hearing this, as if he had heard something extremely ridiculous.

"The report is fake?" He turned to his assistant, Wang, and said, "Assistant Wang, go and get the original of this fake report, along with all the legal proof of the submission process, and have Director Xu take a good look at it."

"No need." Before Assistant Wang could turn around, Tan Gui walked over with a cold face, holding the yellowed premarital medical examination report in her hand.
