Chapter 226: “Best Friend”

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

With Murong Zheng’s words, in less than half an hour, Zhao Yaning received a transfer notice from the hospital, saying that she had been transferred to another department.

Gong Qing was also transferred to a new ward. “Boss, this…”

He looked at Murong Qiao in embarra.s.sment. He didn’t expect his boss to spend so much money for him.

“Lie down and recover well. Only go back to work after you’re healed.” Murong Qiao rea.s.sured him.

Gong Qing could only nod and accept it. He could not help but be happy. After Murong Qiao left, he looked around at the equipment and environment curiously.

If it were him, he definitely wouldn’t be willing to spend so much money. Now that he could lie here for free, Gong Qing was secretly delighted. Murong Qiao’s image in his heart became majestic.

His boss was the best boss in the world!

After visiting him, Murong Qiao sent Gong Qing’s condition to An Nuo and returned to the Murong residence.

When she got home, Murong Qiao turned on her cell phone and saw that the person she had sent to keep an eye on Nan Kang had news.

[Nan Kang is investigating Zheng Yue’s recent situation.]

That person didn’t say much and sent all the photos he had taken to Murong Qiao.

Most of them were intimate photos of Zheng Yue and Nan Kang. The angle of the photos was very exquisite, so people who looked at the photos could tell their relationship at a glance.

Murong Qiao took a rough look and didn’t care anymore. Anyway, Zheng Yue would come to look for her again soon.

Just as she had expected, less than a week after she parted ways with Zheng Yue in the hospital, Zheng Yue came to Murong Qiao for help again.

[I’m not feeling well. Qiaoqiao, can you accompany me to the hospital for a checkup?] Zheng Yue sent a pitiful emoji.

After sending this message, she touched her stomach. It had been throbbing since yesterday. There were even traces of blood when she went to the toilet. Zheng Yue was so frightened that her face turned pale.

The first thing she thought of was to go for a checkup, but she could not use her name. If Nan Kang became suspicious and checked the records, he would know everything.

Helpless, Zheng Yue could only ask Murong Qiao for help.

Murong Qiao tapped her fingertips on the screen. “You haven’t told him?”

There was a hint of doubt in her words and Zheng Yue immediately sensed it.

“He’s not free today… and the company seems to be very busy recently.” Zheng Yue explained in a panic.

Murong Qiao looked at Zheng Yue’s message and recalled her memories. That did seem to be the case.

Previously, when she asked people to pay attention to Nan Kang, it naturally included his company’s recent situation.

Recently, Nan Kang seemed to be paying a lot of attention to a project. It was the development of a piece of land and they were frequently negotiating with relevant people.

Seeing that Murong Qiao didn’t seem to want to go, she was secretly anxious. She typed back quickly and sent two or three messages at once.

[I really can’t stand the pain, Qiaoqiao.]

[Please go with me, okay? You’re my best friend…]

Zheng Yue was more worried about the fetus than anything else. Hence, the tone of the message was filled with pleading, and her att.i.tude could not be lower.

Murong Qiao’s fingertips stopped on the message she was begging for.

Best friend?

Murong Qiao couldn’t help but laugh. She looked at Zheng Yue’s “adoring” words playfully. Not only was she not touched, but she also couldn’t hold back her laughter.

She was probably her only “friend”.

Murong Qiao had satisfied all of Zheng Yue’s previous requests to borrow gowns and jewelry, but Zheng Yue didn’t even show appreciation.

Murong Qiao felt that it was ironic, but she still decided to agree to Zheng Yue’s request. After all, without her help, how could Zheng Yue perform a peerless show for her?

Zheng Yue felt that it had been a long time since she sent the last message. It was so long that when she thought that Murong Qiao did not intend to help her, she saw a few words appear on the screen.

[Sure, let’s go to the hospital we visited last time.]

Zheng Yue’s eyes lit up in an instant. Then, she quickly got up and packed up as quickly as she could before leaving the house.

Time won’t wait for anyone. She absolutely couldn’t lose this child.

Zheng Yue, who had left in a hurry, lost some of her caution. She did not notice that someone was standing at the side and happened to take a photo of her leaving in a hurry.

Murong Qiao and Zheng Yue met at the hospital and went to the doctor’s room.

“You…” The old doctor adjusted his gla.s.ses and frowned. “There are signs of a possible miscarriage.”

He looked at the results of the examination on the computer screen and then shifted his gaze to the patient. When he saw that Zheng Yue was a little girl, he was stunned for a moment, but he did not say anything.

Murong Qiao, who was beside her, heard the old doctor’s words clearly and happened to see Zheng Yue’s pale face.

Zheng Yue opened her mouth. “Then… then what should we do? I want to give birth.”

The child was her bargaining chip. If she lost her bargaining chip, wouldn’t she lose the bet?

“You need to replenish your nutrition these days. Also, you have to take care of your body…” The old doctor reminded Zheng Yue and put the report aside.

Murong Qiao took the opportunity to take a look. Seeing that Zheng Yue and the old doctor were chatting attentively, she took a photo of the list with her phone.

The registration was under her name, but the examination still required the patient herself, so Zheng Yue’s name list was especially eye-catching. There was also a pregnant ultrasound at the bottom. It was obvious that she was pregnant.

“Send the information I asked you to collect and this photo to Nan Kang.” She sent a message to someone.

This was her first small gift to Nan Kang.

“Let’s go, Qiaoqiao,” Zheng Yue called to her.

Murong Qiao looked up and replied. She put her phone in her pocket and stood up to leave with Zheng Yue.

She was not in a hurry for anything else. The most important thing now was Zheng Yue.

“You’ll be going to school soon, Zheng Yue,” Murong Qiao reminded her.

The two of them walked out of the hospital side by side. The dazzling sunlight shone down from above. Murong Qiao walked outside and had to reach out to block the sun. Then, she turned to look at Zheng Yue, who was covered tightly in black.

She stood in the shadows, and her eyes that were covered by the mask were a little gloomy.

Zheng Yue seemed to be half a beat slower. After two to three seconds, she nodded and replied, “…I want to drop out of school.”

As expected, Murong Qiao thought.

In fact, before she asked this question, she could already imagine what Zheng Yue would say.

“But after school starts, I can’t stay at his house anymore.” Zheng Yue pursed her lips and explained her difficulties.

She was pregnant. It would not be long before her figure changed, and it would become more and more obvious.

As Zheng Yue removed the option of going to school, she needed an environment where she could rest in peace.

Zheng Yue was no longer an a.s.sistant. She was being raised at home by Nan Kang. He was keeping a record of her expenditure, so she couldn’t rent a house outside even if she wanted to.

When she was in trouble, it was already Zheng Yue’s reflex to think of Murong Qiao.

She was about to ask Murong Qiao for help when her cell phone vibrated. It was a message from Nan Kang asking what she was doing.

“Qiaoqiao, I’ll go back first. Thank you for accompanying me today!” Zheng Yue hurriedly bade her farewell.

She was afraid that Nan Kang would find out that she had gone out at home, so she didn’t have time to say anything else to Murong Qiao.

In the days after they parted ways, she would cover for Zheng Yue from time to time, and winter break pa.s.sed in a flash..
