Chapter 780 - 773: The Spark (Part 2)
Qiu Zi was a bit stunned after being slapped by Qi Hui, holding her face for a long time without coming to her senses.
Luna and Sister Wu ran over upon hearing the sound and, knowing her niece had been hit, Luna couldn’t stand it and retaliated with a hard slap back at Qi Hui.
Qi Hui didn’t dodge, instead she took the slap head-on. Immediately after, her body staggered and she fell directly to the ground.
A sense of heavy pain emanated from Qi Hui’s lower abdomen. She clutched her stomach, her face turning livid as she rolled on the ground.
The commotion outside was so loud that Leng Liewei was directly woken up and came out to see what was happening. He saw Qi Hui clutching her stomach and rolling on the ground, his brows knitted and he hurried over.
Seeing Leng Liewei, Qi Hui’s tears streamed down, and she held onto Leng Liewei’s hand, refusing to let go.
"Old Leng, my stomach hurts... our child..."
As soon as the child in Qi Hui’s belly was mentioned, Leng Liewei grew tense.
"What happened?" Leng Liewei asked sternly.
"Luna hit me, she deliberately hit me..." Qi Hui cried, looking pitiful and frail.
Leng Liewei gave Luna a sharp look, "Can you really not tolerate this child? Didn’t we all agree on this last night?"
Last night when she and Leng Liewei were in a moment of tender affection, they did indeed agree that if Qi Hui gave birth to the child, Leng Liewei would give Qi Hui a sum of money or send her abroad, and then the child would be raised by Luna by her side. She also promised to raise the child as her own because she simply couldn’t have her own biological children.
The idea last night was beautiful, and Luna had thought so even until just now. But she didn’t expect Qi Hui to come here causing trouble early in the morning, nor did she expect Qi Hui would lay hands on Qiu Zi.
She was too angry, that’s why she slapped Qi Hui.
"Don’t misunderstand my little aunt, it was this woman who came to cause trouble first, she hit me first, my little aunt only hit her for my sake!"
Qiu Zi was almost exploding with anger, how could this old man not listen to her little aunt’s explanation?
Tears welled up in Luna’s eyes, she looked at Leng Liewei but said nothing. If Leng Liewei believed her, then she didn’t need to say a word. If Leng Liewei didn’t believe her, then even if she explained till she was hoarse, it would be of no use.
Luna’s tears made Leng Liewei’s heart ache, but Qi Hui’s painful appearance also made him unable to ignore it. After all, that was his child inside, a child he had late in life, he really hoped this child could be born.
"Old Leng, my stomach hurts..." Qi Hui tightened her grip on Leng Liewei’s hand, as Leng Liewei’s gaze towards Luna was too gentle. Qi Hui needed to put in more effort to sway Leng Liewei.
Leng Liewei carefully helped Qi Hui up, "Let’s go, I’ll take you to the hospital."
He didn’t say another word to Luna, nor did he even cast her another glance, just carefully supporting Qi Hui as they left Luna’s rented room.
The pot on the stove was still simmering with porridge, its aroma already filling the air.
Finally, Luna’s tears fell, the porridge was ready, but the man who was supposed to eat the porridge was already gone.
Qiu Zi hugged Luna sympathetically, letting Luna’s tears soak her own clothes.
Once again, Qiu Zi’s heart once again utterly dismissed the male species.
Very soon, Leng Liwei brought Qi Hui to the hospital, the private hospital that Bai Yiran had previously recommended. Knowing it was Leng Liewei’s child late in life, the doctor was particularly careful and thorough in examining Qi Hui.
At this moment, Qi Hui was also nervous. Her fall was intentional. However, she had fallen in a skillful manner; at that time, her stomach wasn’t hurting, it was all an act.
But now, her stomach really started to hurt, she bit her lip and prayed in her heart that nothing would be wrong with the child, otherwise, she would have nothing left...
