Be Careful, Scum Dad! Mommy Is Back!
Chapter 222 - Chapter 222 Chapter 222 Accident

Chapter 222: Chapter 222 Accident Chapter 222: Chapter 222 Accident Her heart suddenly jolted, and she didn’t dare breathe a word, not seeing anyone through the peephole.

The voice of Lu Xining across from her faded from loud to soft, carrying a sense of approaching ethereality that sent shivers down her spine in the silent space.

“Shen Molin came looking for you, did you hear that?”

As the words fell,

Shen Molin heard the ‘knock knock knock’ of someone at the door again.

She was so scared that she hurled her cellphone against the wall, shaking uncontrollably: “Get out–”

At the hotel entrance, Qin Luyao angrily commanded, “Open the door!”

Hearing the noise from across the hall, Lu Xining smirked and retracted her hand from the wood panel.

Just now, she had simply knocked lightly, and Shen Molin thought it was her making noise.

It seemed that her mental state was also quite unstable.

Lu Xining immediately came up with an idea.

As for the thugs who were writhing in pain in the alley, clutching their groins, they were taken away by arriving bodyguards for handling.

With a “smack”!

Qin Luyao slapped Shen Molin across the face and, to avoid injuring the child in her belly when she was hit, had men hold her by the shoulders.

Tears filled Shen Molin’s eyes: “Mr. Qin…”

The man looked down on her from above, warning her, “Take good care of the pregnancy. If anything happens to the child, you will be worthless, understand?”

If it hadn’t been for the low survival rate of Qin Luyao’s sperm, and the women around him failing to conceive, coupled with the fact that Shen Molin happened to become pregnant, he would not have bothered to desperately fish her out.

After the man left, Shen Molin rose from the sofa, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, shedding all traces of her previous frailty.

She glared at the closed door with resentful eyes, took out her cellphone, and searched for the collaboration between Fuxin Pharmaceutical and ZN Laboratory. Upon seeing the particulars of their partnership, Shen Molin caressed her belly as a venomous plan took shape.

Lu Xining, you won’t always be this lucky!

With Fuxin Pharmaceutical, an established company, standing as host and the statements from ZN Laboratory out in the open, the fertility and pregnancy-preserving drugs once released garnered the attention of many families.

They were mostly couples longing for children, but due to various substandard health indicators, had not been successful.

To prevent unscrupulous people from purchasing these drugs and forcing women into illegal and immoral acts, every purchase of these two types of drugs required real-name registration.

Moreover, clients buying the pregnancy-preserving products had to present a medical report from the hospital confirming the health of the fetus.

When Lu Xining proposed the second condition, Li Mai was puzzled.

After all, it would immediately exclude a large portion of potential clients, which from a profitability perspective, meant a considerable loss of revenue.

Lu Xining’s response was just two words: Humanity.

People prone to taking unethical shortcuts for personal gain were not uncommon in life. Her rationale for such rules was designed to avoid fraudulent incidents.

Nevertheless, a flaw still emerged after the product launch.

Many pregnant vloggers bought the new product and after several cycles of use, they all shared rave reviews.

There was only one blogger who never showed her face, and before each use, she specifically noted that the medicine was developed by ZN Laboratory, exhibiting great trust.

The daily punctual updates suddenly ceased one day.

When she resurfaced days later, her setting was in a hospital, wearing patient attire, and she disclosed that she had miscarried after taking the medicine from ZN Laboratory.

This revelation caused an uproar on the internet.

Moms all over the web were stirred up, rushing to hospitals for check-ups, overwhelming nearby medical facilities.

Among them, a doctor revealed that although these two types of drugs were effective, they were not suitable for all pregnant women; certain ingredients could cause fetal abnormalities.

Following this, a video of an elderly lady weeping emerged.

Her daughter-in-law and daughter had taken the drug during the same stage of pregnancy and subsequently miscarried during the same stage.

The elderly lady lamented the loss of her family’s two precious treasures and demanded Fuxin Pharmaceutical and ZN Laboratory compensate for two lives lost, starting with ten million.

When one wave settled, another followed.

Lu Xining quickly arranged for her staff to visit these affected pregnant women after the incident.

However, all of them refused.

Regarding this, they had only one demand: compensation.

Lu Xining was confident in the product she had researched, but if someone truly had an incident, she would naturally take full responsibility.

The most important thing right now was…

Whether these people had encountered issues due to the medication that the laboratory had developed.

When Lu Xining received a call from Li Mai, she was on her way to the hospital where the elderly lady stayed, with the staff from the laboratory.

About the simultaneous pregnancies and miscarriages of her daughter-in-law and her daughter.

She needed to understand the situation personally.

However…

Upon hearing that the elderly lady’s daughter was in a private room, while her daughter-in-law was in a ward with multiple patients, Lu Xining did not show herself directly.

Instead, she sent others to find the elderly lady, while she went alone to see the daughter-in-law–Zeng Ya.

The inner western suburbs of the city center in Jingzhou are famously undeveloped areas.

Most of the people living here were descendants of those who had fled from other provinces, a dozen or so people crammed into a tiny space, just waiting for the all-out profit of a future demolition.

Compared to the warmth of several people huddled together in the private room, the elderly lady, her daughter, her son-in-law, and her mother-in-law, Zeng Ya’s side seemed stark with only her lying on the hospital bed.

There wasn’t even a caretaker beside her.

Seeing her struggle to pour water, Lu Xining took the initiative to pour it for her, but just as she was about to hand it over, she realized the cup was cold.

“You shouldn’t drink something cold right now, I’ll go get you some hot water, wait a moment.”

Zeng Ya gratefully said, “Thank you, young lady, but it’s okay, I’m used to it.”

The grandmother in the next bed heard this and had her granddaughter pour some hot water for Zeng Ya, who again thanked her profusely.

She could hardly get up.

Lu Xining adjusted the height of her bed.

After helping her sit up, she softly asked, “Why are you alone, where is your family?”

Zeng Ya managed a bitter smile: “My sister-in-law is also in the hospital, in worse condition than me, they are all over there taking care of her.”

Lu Xining frowned, “Isn’t your husband here?”

Speaking of him, Zeng Ya’s expression also soured, she lowered her head and spoke as if to reassure herself, “He’s with his sister too, he has only one sister, and he’s worried something might happen, he’s been there all night already.”

Is a wife not just as important?

Lu Xining found it hard to comprehend these men’s ways of thinking.

She revealed her identity proactively: “Don’t worry, if it really is a problem with the medication, we will definitely provide compensation.”

Zeng Ya suddenly became somewhat uneasy, opening her mouth as if to speak, then hesitating, her eyes darting away, “Actually… ”

Just then, the elderly lady came over with a food container.

When she saw Lu Xining sitting by the bed, her shrewd gaze immediately became guarded, “Who are you, and who let you come here?”

“Mom, she is… she is my friend, just came to visit.”

Lu Xining wore a mask and a hat, and the elderly lady did not see her face clearly, but upon noticing the bare nightstand, her expression turned sour.

“What kind of friend comes to visit a patient empty-handed, didn’t know how their parents raised them, not a bit of sense.”

After scolding the thoughtless Lu Xining, the elderly lady directly placed the food container on the bedside, “Here, your lunch. Remember to wash the container clean afterward, I’ll have Dashan come and pick it up later.”

After finishing her words, she did not bother to see if Zeng Ya needed anything else and left, casting a disdainful glance at Lu Xining at the bedside before leaving.

Meanwhile, Lu Xining also received the response from her subordinates.

After learning of their identity, the elderly lady had tripled the amount of compensation demanded, and the current price had reached thirty million.

As she looked up from the message, Lu Xining saw in Zeng Ya’s opened food container, leftovers that were obviously eaten by someone else.

All the meat was gone, leaving some burnt stir-fried vegetables. One-third of the white rice remained, and at the empty spaces, there were even chicken bones that someone had spat out, and the chopsticks were also used by someone else.

Seeing Zeng Ya about to eat, Lu Xining quickly stopped her.

“Don’t eat that, cold food isn’t good for your recovery.”

She had someone send over warm and light meals, and as she raised the table at the end of Zeng Ya’s bed, tears filled the latter’s eyes.

Zeng Ya was sorrowful yet helpless, “I’m sorry, even though you’ve been so kind to me, I still can’t help you, my mother-in-law…”
