On the way to the hospital, Zhou Jingchen held her pregnancy test sticks in his hands, holding them one by one and looking at them thoughtfully.
The air pressure in the cabin is extremely low.
Cheng Xi clenched her fists, "Are you pregnant..."
If so, can it be hidden from the Zhou family?
How would Mrs. Zhou deal with her in a rage?
Send her out of the province, abroad, to a strange place, and never allow her to come back.
Or force her to have an abortion, say nothing to the Geng family, and then skip the engagement and get married directly.
What would happen to her if Geng Shiqing found out.
Domestic violence, verbal abuse, bullying.
The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became, and a layer of sweat broke out on her forehead.
"You didn't wear it..."
Cheng Xi curled up on the seat, "I didn't wear it for the second time."
Zhou Jingchen leaned back, his face hidden in the darkness, "We won't talk until we are really pregnant."
She turned her head and couldn't see him clearly, but her eye sockets and the bridge of her nose were vaguely blurry, dark and firm, "She's pregnant."
"What do you want to do?" He was still hiding in the darkness.
Cheng Xi was confused, "I don't know."
"The solution is whether you are pregnant or not, and all your worries will disappear if you are not pregnant."
It was a cloudy and chaotic sky outside, and the street lights were shining from South Street to North Street, wisps passing by Zhou Jingchen. He was no longer so dark, and Cheng Xi could see him clearly.
"Will Aunt Zhou send me away?"
Zhou Jingchen's gaze moved towards her, his dark eyes showing no trace of emotion, "Whether leaving or getting engaged, the Zhou family has its own arrangements."
She pursed her lips.
"You chose this path yourself. You keep saying you don't regret it, but now it's too late."
Zhou Jingchen ignored her and closed his eyes to rest.
The car drove into the outpatient building of a central hospital.
He did not drive a Hongqi L9, but drove Zhou Huaikang's mobility scooter after get off work, a Hongqi H5 worth more than 200,000 yuan.
Zhou Huaikang has always kept a low profile, not just to show off to the outside world, but as a family motto of Mr. Zhou.
Based on this, even though he was married to Mrs. Zhou, he was frugal and diligent and never arrogant or extravagant. His colleagues could not do anything to him, and businessmen did not dare to do anything to him.
The driver got out of the car, looked around, and knocked on the door.
Zhou Jingchen went down immediately.
Clinic No. 1 of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology was originally closed, but at 4:30, the sign of the chief specialist was put up again and one patient was admitted.
Cheng Xi entered the consulting room at 4:32.
The doctor asked about the time of intercourse, and Zhou Jingchen recalled, "About a month, even recently."
"Have you tested it yourself?"
He handed the doctor four pregnancy tests.
Cheng Xi tested one this morning, and compared with the three he tested last night, the shallow bar was even shallower.
The doctor issued a test order, and Zhou Jingchen took her to draw blood.
The blood drawing process did not go well and Cheng Xi fainted from the injection.
When the nurse saw that it was the order signed by Director Ouyang, she was very patient and waited for half an hour to finish it.
I took the report, took the X-ray, and returned to the consulting room.
The doctor flipped through the test sheet and found that the value was slightly higher. He picked up the pregnancy test stick again this morning and asked, "Are you bleeding?"
"There is bleeding...not much." Zhou Jingchen was standing aside. She felt uncomfortable and straightened her back. "My menstruation is irregular and there is grey-brown sticky substance."
"Biochemical pregnancy." The doctor adjusted the frame of his glasses. "Your endometrium is thin, your progesterone secretion is poor, and you have not prepared for pregnancy. Implantation development has failed. Medically speaking, it is a subclinical miscarriage."
Cheng Xi thought the bleeding was caused by Zhou Jingchen being too violent in the rest room. She was inexperienced, nervous and dry, and her posture was uncomfortable, so it was not surprising that there were bloodshot eyes.
It turned out to be menstruation.
Zhou Jingchen frowned slightly, "Is she pregnant?"
"It was excreted from the body together with menstruation, without even a fetal sac. It is a hidden miscarriage."
Cheng Xi raised his eyes.
The lights in the consulting room were blazing white, the man's jawline was tense, and there seemed to be a storm brewing in his eyes.
The tide rises and falls.
Vibrated, and then returned to silence.
After a moment, he said in a low voice, "Do you need surgery?"
"No need." The doctor filled in the medical record, "Supplement nutrition, relax mentally, and no sexual intercourse is allowed."
Zhou Jingchen stared at the medical record book and stood there for a long time. His eyelids were drooped and the side of his face was still tense.
It wasn't until the doctor got up and went to the sink to wash his hands that he heard the sound of running water and then he stepped out.
Cheng Xi followed him downstairs.
"Antihypertensive drugs, anti-inflammatory drugs, tranquilizers... Oh, by the way, plaster for frozen shoulder!" A noble lady walked in a hurry, Zhou Jingchen stopped to avoid it. When the lady passed by, he stopped suddenly, "Mr. Zhou? "
Cheng Xi froze.
She is the wife of the district leader.
I played cards in Huiyuan and chatted at the charity banquet, so I am quite familiar with him.
She had no choice but to face her, "Mrs. Sun."
"It's Miss Xi'er!" Mrs. Sun looked at her with pity in her eyes, "You have lost weight. Come to the hospital for a check-up?"
"Acute gastroenteritis, not serious." Zhou Jingchen was the first to deal with Mrs. Sun.
Mrs. Sun doesn't care whether Cheng Xi is sick or not. She cares whether there will be another death in the Hua family and whether to order wreaths. "Mr. Zhou, Mrs. Hua is in a coma and is hospitalized?"
"Um."
Mrs. Sun continued to ask, "Are you awake?"
"I'm awake." Zhou Jingchen obviously didn't want to reveal too much, "In the custody room."
"Thankfully I woke up, otherwise the happy events of the Zhou family and the Geng family would have been postponed."
Zhou Jingchen had no expression.
"My relatives were on a business trip in France and gave me an original beauty instrument. I borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha and gave it to Mrs. Zhou. I would like Mr. Zhou to give it to her, so that I don't have to worry about it again at night." Mrs. Sun took the gift bag and gift box from the driver's hand. , "Old Sun has been transferred to the development zone. Although he is the leader with real power, the development zone is not as convenient as the urban area. I came here specially to buy medicine. He lives in the cadre dormitory in the development zone."
Zhou Jingchen glanced at the beauty device but didn't pick it up.
Mrs. Sun was afraid that he would be careless, so she immediately explained, "Mrs. Zhou and I have been friends for many years. Mr. Zhou does not accept bribes or gifts. I understand. I owed Mrs. Zhou 30,000 yuan for playing mahjong last Tuesday. This It’s for debt repayment.”
That's not the reason why he didn't answer.
It's the wrong occasion.
Hospital, Cheng Xi, alone.
When Mrs. Zhou asked about the whole story, he couldn't smooth things over.
But if he didn't care, Mrs. Sun would become even more suspicious.
Zhou Jingchen thought about it, took the bag of the beauty instrument, and reminded Mrs. Sun, "Things are important. It doesn't matter who delivers it or where."
Mrs. Sun listened with one ear and forgot with the other. She didn't understand it at all, and she didn't bother to analyze his implication, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou."
...
Zhou Jingchen contacted Hua Jingjing and told her that the company had an emergency meeting and was working overtime, so she had to rush there after dark.
Hua Jingjing was very considerate of him, didn't complain or complain, and hung up after just a few words.
He turned the phone around, "Does it hurt?"
Cheng Xi didn't think about it at first, but now that he knew the truth, he felt a dull pain in his abdomen.
"A little."
"Stay in bed and recuperate." He replied calmly, "It's dry in spring, so don't be greedy for the cold."
She waited for a long time, but Zhou Jingchen didn't speak again.
