Chapter 131 Wants a Divorce
Fu Zixin saw the news report and learned that Yan Zuozuo had an accident, so she quickly called her. Yan Zuozuo said that she was fine, but she was worried about the baby in her belly, so she stayed in the hospital for a couple more days. If the test results came back tomorrow morning and there were no problems, they would go back.
The next morning, Yan Zuozuo and Chi Moqing had just arrived home when Fu Zixin called, anxiously asking how things had gone. Yan Zuozuo said everything was fine and they were already home. Fu Zixin hung up and went straight to find her.
Yan Zuozuo hung up the phone, and then Chi's mother called again. After confirming that Yan Zuozuo was alright, she scolded Chi Moqing again, saying that if something similar happened again, Chi's father should just beat him to death.
Chi Moqing touched his nose and apologized repeatedly. He looked up and met Yan Zuozuo's worried face. He smiled at her, said a few more words to Chi's mother, and then hung up.
He walked over, sat down next to Yan Zuozuo, and chuckled as he ruffled her hair. "What's wrong?"
Yan Zuozuo shook her head; she was just a little worried about him after hearing Chi's mother's loud scolding. She bit her lip, seemingly playing with Chi Moqing's large hand, "I'm sorry you had to go through that."
Actually, this matter is not his fault. His attitude towards Cai Qingqing has always been very clear. It was Cai Qingqing who was unwilling to give up and insisted on sticking to him and causing this commotion, which resulted in him being scolded.
"It's nothing. Letting Mom scold me makes me feel better." Chi Moqing smiled faintly, letting her lean on his shoulder. "A man should be a pillar of strength, protecting his wife and children. This time, I didn't do a good job, which is why you got hurt. I should have taken responsibility. Why should I feel aggrieved?"
Yan Zuozuo sighed, pouted, and said, "If that's really the case, it's better to have a daughter. Are the boys in the Chi family really that scary?"
Chi Moqing chuckled softly, "It's not scary, it's about teaching him how to be a person. But I also think girls are better; girls should be cherished and pampered, like little princesses." He placed his hand on her belly and stroked it back and forth. In a few more months, their angel would arrive.
Yan Zuozuo chuckled softly: "Even if it really is a boy, you can't retaliate against him. He's still our precious child."
Chi Moqing frowned, and finally said seriously, "I'll try my best."
Yan Zuozuo rolled her eyes. Actually, she was quite worried about the baby in her belly. If it was a boy, she felt heartbroken just thinking about the Chi family's rules. This was her own flesh and blood, and she would get a beating from the family at the drop of a hat. She couldn't bear to do that.
Seeing her frustrated look, Chi Moqing kissed her cheek and said, "Don't worry, I'll try my best to be lenient."
"That's more like it." Yan Zuozuo leaned against him, and the two sat for a while. It wasn't until the doorbell rang that Chi Moqing reluctantly got up to open the door. The way he impatiently rang the doorbell told him it was Fu Zixin.
Sure enough, as soon as Chi Moqing opened the door, Fu Zixin started shouting loudly, as if she hadn't seen Chi Moqing at all. She rushed straight to Yan Zuozuo on the sofa and said anxiously, "Zuozuo, Zuozuo, are you alright? Let me see."
Yan Zuozuo stood up from the sofa, looked at the flustered woman with amusement, and smiled helplessly, "Do I look like something's wrong?"
"You look fine, but your neck, your arms... My goodness, you're pregnant! How could you let yourself get so disheveled? I'm going to faint!" Fu Zixin exclaimed dramatically, pulling Yan Zuozuo around to look her over. Only after confirming that there were no other wounds besides the superficial injuries did she feel relieved. She couldn't help but glare at her reproachfully, "Yan Zuozuo, this is my daughter-in-law! If I hadn't seen the news, were you planning to keep quiet?"
Yan Zuozuo smiled guiltily: "How could that be? I just got discharged from the hospital."
Fu Zixin scoffed in disbelief and looked up towards the door. Yan Zuozuo raised an eyebrow and followed her gaze, only to see Su Kang had also arrived and was chatting with Chi Moqing at the door.
"Is the injury on your hand alright?" Su Kang asked him with a serious expression.
Chi Moqing smiled faintly and stepped aside to let him in. "It's nothing serious, come in and sit down."
Su Kang nodded and went inside, then sat down next to Fu Zixin. Yan Zuozuo glanced at the two of them, her eyes crinkling, "You came with Zixin?"
Su Kang nodded and placed the fruit basket on the coffee table. "I saw the news and came to check on you. Are you alright?"
Yan Zuozuo smiled faintly, "It's fine." After saying that, she glanced at Fu Zixin with an ambiguous expression.
Having known her for so many years, Fu Zixin knew exactly what kind of cleverness she possessed, and couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Two pregnant women were sitting in the living room. Chi Moqing went over and made two glasses of juice, while he and Su Kang leisurely drank tea and talked mostly about business.
After a while, Yan Zuozuo said, "We don't like what you're talking about. Zixin is going back to her room."
Chi Moqing didn't object. Yan Zuozuo pulled Fu Zixin towards the bedroom. As soon as the door closed, she looked mysterious and smiled maliciously, "What's going on between you and Su Kang?"
Fu Zixin gave her a strange look: "What happened?"
"Don't play dumb with me. You two came together, so just admit it honestly," Yan Zuozuo said ambiguously.
Fu Zixin couldn't stand her gossipy manner and rolled her eyes, saying, "Still the same, not as friendly as you think." As she said this, a hint of bitterness flashed in her eyes.
Yan Zuozuo frowned: "Zixin, tell me honestly, what exactly happened?"
Fu Zixin remained silent for a long time before saying, "Zuo Zuo, what would you think if I divorced Su Kang?"
Yan Zuozuo was stunned, her eyes widening in astonishment.
In the living room, Su Kang and Chi Moqing's conversation revolved entirely around work. Once they finished discussing work, they seemed to have nothing more to say. After a moment of silence, Su Kang said, "If you have time, could you please ask Zuo Zuo to talk to Zi Xin more? There are some things I can't say, so I'll trouble you."
Chi Moqing was somewhat surprised by Su Kang's words: "Aren't you two doing quite well now?"
Su Kang picked up his teacup, took a sip of water, and said bitterly, "It's fine between the two of us, but my family... you know, Zixin doesn't tell me anything these days. I'm worried that she'll just swallow her grievances alone. If she can't take it anymore one day, I'm afraid she'll just leave."
Chi Moqing remained silent. Relationships weren't just a matter between two people, but also between two families. If Su Kang's family truly couldn't accept Fu Zixin, their path would likely be very difficult.
After a pause, Chi Moqing asked, "Are you really planning to spend your life with her?"
“Of course, I don’t know if Zuo Zuo has told you, but I’ve liked her since high school. It’s just that I went abroad later. Over the years, no one has been able to replace her in my heart.” Su Kang said with a smile, but there was a bitterness in his voice. “Fate is cruel; maybe that’s just how it is with me. I finally came back, met her again, but the result…”
His parents, already influenced by Sophie, disliked Fu Zixin. Fortunately, she became pregnant, and they reluctantly accepted it. However, Wang Kaijun, drunk, went to her house again, only to be met with a huge scene from Sophie. Now, his parents don't even want their grandson anymore and are forcing them to divorce.
He knew Fu Zixin was wronged and understood her suffering, but she remained silent, and he didn't know how to comfort her. Lately, he had increasingly sensed her aloofness, as if she might leave at any moment, which worried him greatly.
Chi Moqing listened quietly, only saying that he would talk to Yan Zuozuo, but ultimately it would depend on him. Su Kang understood, and after chatting for a while, he got up and said he had to leave. As for Fu Zixin, he would have his driver pick her up later.
Chi Moqing saw him off. By the time Fu Zixin and Yan Zuozuo came out of the room, it was already noon. Yan Zuozuo invited her to stay for lunch, and Fu Zixin did not refuse. The two chatted for a while before asking Su Kang to send a car over.
After Fu Zixin left, Yan Zuozuo leaned worriedly against Chi Moqing's chest, "If Zixin really suffered in the Su family, should I support her leaving?"
Chi Moqing held her without saying a word; this was not a matter for outsiders to interfere in.
When Luo Bin arrived at the hospital after receiving the call, Cai Qingqing had already been sedated and was asleep. The doctor told him that at first she was fine, just staring blankly at the ceiling without any reaction. But in the latter half of the night, she became like a madwoman, hitting and screaming, muttering something unintelligible. Several nurses tried to stop her, but she grabbed and hit them. There was no other way but to administer a sedative. While she was unconscious, they treated the gunshot wound on her arm.
Even without the doctor's description, Luo Bin could guess from the blood-soaked, chaotic scene in the ward what had happened to Cai Qingqing earlier. He frowned in thought, then turned to the doctor, "When can we take her statement?"
The doctor took off his mask and said with some difficulty, "It can't be done for the time being. I'm afraid it's necessary to see a psychiatrist."
Luo Bin looked up at the doctor: "Are you sure?"
The doctor nodded: "It's probably related to the previous murder case. After all, it was her own mother. Hiring someone to kill her, I'm afraid she can't get over that hurdle in her heart."
Since the doctor had said so, Luo Bin had no choice but to call Chi Moqing and tell him about it. Chi Moqing was silent for a moment, then said seriously, "Even so, it must be handled according to the law. We absolutely cannot give anyone a chance to take advantage of loopholes!"
Luo Bin naturally understood what he meant. Even if Cai Qingqing really went mad, she would be kept in a mental hospital forever, and when she recovered, she would be handed over to the prison. As for taking advantage of loopholes... given the current situation of the Cai family, it was unlikely that anyone would lend a hand.
No sooner had he ended the call with Luo Bin than reporters demanded interviews. Chi Moqing frowned. "Until the police close the case, the Chi family will not accept any form of interview."
"Yes, President." Having served Chi Moqing for many years, the special assistant naturally understood his style of doing things. After a pause, he said, "Our stock has recently shown an upward trend again. President, should we continue to secretly acquire shares?"
“Keep collecting.” Chi Moqing said without thinking.
The assistant nodded and asked, "Are you and your wife alright? Are you alright?"
"It's nothing serious. I won't come over these next few days unless it's something important. Just call me when it's time."
"Okay, I'll arrange a car to take the president back now."
Chi Moqing nodded and arrived home quickly. Zhang Ma said that Yan Zuozuo was sleeping. He put down his briefcase and went to the bedroom. Ever since Cai Qingqing's incident, she hadn't been sleeping well. She spoke in her dreams with a sense of panic, and even when she was in his arms, she would wake up from time to time. It seemed that she was really frightened.
He carefully lay down beside her, and just as he reached out to pull her into his arms, Yan Zuozuo suddenly cried out and sat bolt upright, "No! Run..."
Chi Moqing was startled, then quickly hugged her, patting her hand gently as he said softly, "Zuozuo, it's alright, it's alright..."
Yan Zuozuo was half asleep and half awake. It was a long time before she was fully awake. When she saw Chi Moqing beside her, she breathed a sigh of relief and nestled in his arms, as if she was still shaken by the dream.
