Chapter 157
Irony
As everyone knows, Hina is pregnant, and Cen Shichuan just confirmed it.
The moment she fell, Ji Yan was ready.
"Dad, Sheena is pregnant! Quickly call your traditional Chinese medicine doctors to come and check if she's alright! Mom, quickly have someone call 120."
Ji Yan's father readily stepped forward, leading seven or eight doctors he had only ever seen in the news.
The first doctor took my pulse, and he frowned repeatedly.
He looked at the second doctor: "Come and take a look."
The second doctor was also stunned after taking the pulse: "This..."
Cen Shichuan doesn't care about Xu Chuxue now, but he cares about Xu Chuxue's child. Only with this child is Old Master Cen willing to help him clean up the mess.
"What happened?" he asked urgently. "Explain yourself!"
The first doctor said hesitantly, "Miss Sheena is not pregnant. Her health is very poor; she has a history of serious miscarriages. I'm afraid..."
He didn't dare to say it outright and glanced at his colleagues.
The colleague replied truthfully, "This young lady suffered severe uterine damage in the past year and did not rest properly. She also underwent other surgeries in a short period of time, so it is very difficult for her to get pregnant."
Other doctors also nodded in agreement with this conclusion.
Immediately, whispers broke out among those around them.
"No wonder she fell so badly, but didn't bleed at all."
"I figured it out. The mistress wanted to use her pregnancy to climb the social ladder, but it turned out she was pregnant but not pregnant."
"Third Young Master is really foolish, making such a big fuss over a woman like that."
"Didn't you notice that Xina looks like Xu Chuxue? No wonder he's such a devoted man."
The word "deep affection" is somewhat ironic.
Cen Shichuan, unable to refute, finally showed a crack in his face.
When Xu Chuxue heard that she was not pregnant, she couldn't accept it and pushed away the doctors around her!
"You're lying! Who told you to say that?"
The doctor shook his head.
Xu Chuxue did not accept it and turned to point at Xu Wantang.
"It's you! It must be you! You're such a seducer, you must have seduced Ji Yan, that's why he helped you frame me! I've had tests done at the hospital, I'm pregnant!"
Xu Wantang approached her: "Xina, your behavior reminds me of my sister. She also loves to say that I seduce people, but what is the truth? The boys she likes don't like her. They only said a few words to me, and she spread rumors everywhere that I seduce people. Meanwhile, my once good parents and good brother spread rumors that I love to compete with my sister."
"Xina, you look just like my sister. It's a pity you're not her. Otherwise, since Third Young Master loves my sister so much, how could he bear to see her being criticized by so many people?"
Upon hearing this, Sheena turned ashen, like a sculpture with its mouth sealed shut.
She habitually looked at Cen Shichuan, but Cen Shichuan only had eyes for Xu Wantang, as if her value had vanished since she wasn't pregnant.
She rushed forward without hesitation and grabbed Cen Shichuan.
"Third Young Master, why won't you help me? You said you only loved me!"
Cen Shichuan looked at Xu Chuxue and only now did he realize how unfamiliar the woman in front of him was.
And Xu Wantang... he never saw through it.
Only now did he dare to believe that Xu Wantang truly didn't care about him anymore, and didn't love him anymore.
After a minute of silence, Cen Shichuan reverted to his cold and ruthless self as the Third Young Master.
He shoved Xu Chuxue away: "Enough! Stop making a scene! I haven't even investigated you for lying to me about being pregnant. Do you really think you can get into the Cen family with just a few lies?"
Xu Chuxue fell to the ground, staring at Cen Shichuan in disbelief.
"You actually pushed me? Are you trying to deny everything?"
Cen Shichuan knew exactly what she was talking about and immediately warned, "You'd better recognize your place as the chief editor. I'm only being patient with you because you look like Chu Xue. Do you really think you are Chu Xue?"
Obviously.
When Cen Shichuan helped Xu Chuxue fake her death, he also used some precautionary measures.
In addition, Xu Wantang forced Xu Chuxue to undergo plastic surgery in order to make the real Xu Chuxue disappear.
Therefore, the current Sheena can never return to her past identity.
She also couldn't provide any evidence to prove her identity.
Let alone expect anything from those few members of the Xu family who are barely able to take care of themselves.
Xu Chuxue's heart skipped a beat, and she stood at a distance, unable to speak.
She felt like she was being stared at as a clown, and she could feel the same way Xu Wantang had felt back then, unable to speak up.
She looked at Xu Wantang. Although she seemed to be facing this alone, there was a strong and supportive man standing silently behind her.
Xu Chuxue gave a bitter smile and turned to look at Cen Shichuan.
"You regret it? Too bad... it's all too late."
"Xina, shouldn't I regret it? No one likes a liar, or rather, a family of liars." Cen Shichuan's words were loaded with meaning.
However, Xu Chuxue understood that Cen Shichuan knew about the blood donation and also knew many things that she and the Xu family had kept from him.
Xu Chuxue was so frightened that her face turned pale. She turned around, lifted her skirt, and rushed out of the banquet.
The group exchanged glances, likely sensing something amiss.
Ji Yan stepped forward: "This is the Third Young Master's private matter, so we won't interfere. Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, let the banquet continue. I personally wish the Second Young Master and Miss Xu Wantang all the best."
After saying that, Ji Yan winked at Xu Wantang.
It seems to be saying: Look how supportive my support team is?
Just as Xu Wantang was about to say that he was acting recklessly, the people below actually clapped along with him, making Xu Wantang feel embarrassed.
Cen Yuan held her hand and whispered, "Don't worry, it's alright."
Xu Wantang squeezed his hand and leaned closer, saying, "Second Brother, is the show over?"
"It's over, but Cen Shichuan's story still needs to continue," Cen Yuan replied.
Xu Wantang subconsciously looked in Cen Shichuan's direction. The business partners who had been surrounding him had left after exchanging a few words with him.
His face was tense, and when he looked up, his eyes met Xu Wantang's.
Xu Wantang immediately looked away, as if she were looking at a stranger.
When she looked over again, Cen Shichuan had already turned around and been pushed toward the exit.
"Worried?" Cen Yuan's tone was somewhat hesitant.
Xu Wantang smiled and looked at him: "No, Second Brother, are you jealous too?"
"Eat, eat everything," he said seriously.
Xu Wantang chuckled and explained, "Given the serious situation today, he still didn't get up from his wheelchair. I think he might not be willing to accept it."
"He is indeed unwilling. Now he still needs to rely on the car accident to gain sympathy. Since the image of a loving man can no longer be established, he will create the image of a person who was deceived by his fiancée and became disabled. Even if he can stand up in the future, no one will notice anything wrong. The deceased Xu Chuxue has just become a scapegoat."
Xu Wantang thought about it and felt a little emotional.
"I thought my parents and Xu Shengze would care, but I never expected that even their beloved daughter and sister would be sacrificed in the end."
"Actually, they don't love Xu Chuxue as much as you think. It's just that Xu Chuxue was useful. Now that she's no longer useful, they naturally don't love her anymore."
After explaining, Cen Yuan pointed to a spot not far away: "Don't think about it anymore, I'll take you to meet some friends."
Xu Wantang looked surprised: "You're taking me to meet your friend?"
"You don't want to? If you don't, I won't force you."
"No, even my brother has never treated me like that." Not to mention Cen Shichuan.
"You don't need to think about them anymore."
Cen Yuan pulled Xu Wantang forward, but they were stopped by Cen's men.
"Second Young Master, the Old Master requests your presence."
Cen Yuan's eyes turned cold, and he said indifferently, "I've already said what I needed to say before. There's only business between him and me. I don't need him to worry about my personal matters."
After saying that, he took Xu Wantang and left.
