Chapter 153: Chapter 153 Sun Feifei’s Miscarriage

Sun Feifei surveyed the guest room’s environment and decor with an indescribable sense of weirdness in her heart.

The walls and the bedding were uniformly white, and the furniture was simple, not at all resembling a guest room; it rather looked more like a hospital ward.

But she didn’t think too much of it, guessing that this might just be the Ning Family’s way of hosting guests. Curious, she walked to the window to take in the rare and stunning view, her mind drifting to the wonderful life that lay ahead.

"Knock knock."

The housekeeper, dressed in traditional Chinese attire, brought in a cup of milk. "Miss Sun, the doctor will arrive later. Madam instructed me to bring you this milk—please drink it and then rest in bed for a while."

"Thank you."

After drinking the milk, Sun Feifei felt drowsy and lay down on the bed to rest.

Main building.

Upon hearing that Sun Feifei had drunk the milk, Yan Jing instructed the housekeeper, "In ten minutes, bring the doctor over."

"Yes."

After the housekeeper left, Yan Jing turned and glared at Ning Yuan, berating him, "If you dare bring home more of this mess in the future, I’ll cut that thing of yours off with scissors!"

Ning Yuan hid next to Yan Yi with a terrified look on his face, "Uncle, I only got involved with her to shield you from unwanted suitors—you can’t abandon me now!"

Yan Yi’s voice was soothing as he consoled, "Don’t worry, I will find the best surgeon to reattach it for you."

"..."

When Sun Feifei woke up, it was already pitch black outside.

Groping in the dim light of the room’s wall lamp, it took her a while to realize that she was at the Ning Family’s residence.

She tried to get up, but the severe pain in her lower abdomen made her cry out in agony.

The maid pushed the door open and stared at her emotionlessly, "Miss Sun, you’re awake."

Sun Feifei looked at the maid in panic, "My stomach hurts so much—get the doctor to come see me quickly!"

"The doctor has already left."

The maid placed the soup bowl on the bedside table and informed her with an even tone, "You had an unfortunate slip this afternoon that led to a miscarriage. Madam has already had the doctor perform a dilation and curettage for you. Drink the soup, get a good night’s sleep, and tomorrow Madam will arrange for a car to take you down the mountain."

Sun Feifei felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

She had had a miscarriage? The child in her belly was gone?

She clearly hadn’t gone anywhere that afternoon; after drinking the milk, she had just lain down to rest...

The milk!

Sun Feifei’s eyes widened suddenly and, bearing the pain in her lower abdomen, she got out of bed and stumbled, wanting to find Ning Yuan.

However, she was blocked by two burly men just as she stepped out of the door.

"Move! Let me out! Ning Yuan!"

Main building, the Ning Family and Yan Yi were dining at the table.

Receiving the report from the housekeeper, Yan Jing, without even lifting an eyebrow, commanded three words, "Keep an eye on her."

The housekeeper left promptly.

Yan Yi put down his chopsticks, wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, "I’m done eating; you enjoy your meal. I’ll go have a look."

Yan Jing gave him a glance but said nothing.

Ning Yuan, eager to follow, was immediately stopped by Yan Jing’s sharp gaze and sat down obediently to continue his meal.

Ning Wenqian looked at his son, his expression a mix of amusement and sarcasm, "What have you gotten into now?"

Ning Yuan said guiltily, "This time, there’s a reason for it, you can ask Uncle if you don’t believe me."

Upon hearing this, Ning Wenqian didn’t say anything else. He was busy with business, and Yan Jing took care of everything at home and their son.

The couple always had clear divisions of labor and didn’t interfere with each other.

Watching Yan Yi approach step by step, Sun Feifei’s face revealed intense hatred and resentment, "I’m going to sue you! Without my consent, you took the liberty of aborting the child in my womb. What you did is illegal!"

No sooner had her words fallen than the maid beside her knelt down with a thud.

"Miss Sun, it’s all my fault. I didn’t clean the floor properly, causing you to slip and miscarry. This matter has nothing to do with the Ning Family or anyone in it. Please call the police, I am willing to accept legal punishment."

Sun Feifei was dumbfounded.

At this moment, the butler walked up to Sun Feifei with a tray, on which lay a stack of cash in one-thousand notes.

Sun Feifei screamed as though she had been greatly humiliated, "What do you mean by this? What do you take me for?"

Yan Yi’s face showed his usual gentle demeanor, but his words were cutting, "This is the prostitution fee I’ve paid on behalf of Ning Yuan. Of course, if you find that term unacceptable, you can also consider it compensation."

"The choice is yours. You can choose to sue, and I will give this money to the maid kneeling at your feet as a reward for taking the blame. If you choose to take the money and leave, then this matter will be over."

Hearing this, Sun Feifei stood frozen.

Meanwhile, the maid at her feet lifted her head, her face filled with longing as she looked at the money on the tray.

After a pause, Yan Yi spoke again, his voice now carrying a touch more coldness, "Sun Feifei, some people are not to be trifled with. All your schemes and maneuvers will ultimately backfire on you."

Sun Feifei was both angry and afraid, looking at Yan Yi as if he were a devil.

"You and Ning Yuan, you’re all birds of a feather, none of you are good! One is a notorious playboy, and the other is a shameless rogue who covets a married woman. You will both get your comeuppance!"

"You’re overthinking it. She is just a friend to me, nothing more."

With that, Yan Yi turned and walked away.

But Sun Feifei went nearly insane with jealousy because of his single mention of a friend.

Everyone met at the same time; why could Shen Mingzhu be recognized by Yan Yi as a friend, but not her? Where did she fall short?

In the end, Sun Feifei chose to take the money and leave.

This outcome was not at all surprising to Yan Yi.

He had long seen through what kind of woman Sun Feifei was.

——

After nearly half a month of waiting, Shen Mingzhu finally got her individual business license.

On the afternoon she received her license, Shen Mingzhu, following the contact information on the business card, scheduled an appointment with the same officer who had received her last time.

Pei Wenping, worried that she might be tricked, took time off to accompany her to the bank to apply for a loan.

Just like last time, the officer led both of them enthusiastically to the VIP room on the second floor, and after confirming that all the procedures were complete, he took out the loan application form, explaining and guiding Shen Mingzhu as she filled it out.

Pei Wenping, being an accountant who often dealt with banks, had made no fewer than a hundred trips to the bank, yet she only ever conducted corporate business and had never enjoyed the service of the VIP room.

Her sister-in-law was just an ordinary sole proprietor, destitute and seeking a loan from the bank. Getting a loan would already be a stroke of luck, yet she was also receiving such warm and attentive service from a VIP room officer.

It was too unusual.

Once the procedures were completed, there would still be a wait of three to five days for the approval, but the officer assured Shen Mingzhu with certainty that her loan would definitely be approved.

Hearing this, Pei Wenping’s suspicions deepened even more.

After leaving the bank, she couldn’t help but ask Shen Mingzhu, "Did you ask someone for a favor to get this loan?"

"No, I just came here to inquire with Ziheng last time, and then Officer Wang received me and gave me his contact information."

In fact, Shen Mingzhu also felt that her experience getting a loan from the bank had been too smooth, but she really hadn’t asked anyone for help.
