Chapter 293 Pregnant with Jin Que's Child
When Shen Qingshu returned to the ward, Xiao Anning was already asleep again.
When Mo Bai saw her return, he immediately stood up and said, "President Chen."
Shen Qingshu looked at him calmly, "Mo Bai, thank you for your hard work."
"Mr. Shen, you're too kind. Xiao Anning is very cute. It's my honor that she's willing to trust and be close to me," Mo Bai said, bowing slightly.
Shen Qingshu: "Yes, although Xiao Anning is cheerful, you are the first person to trust and be close to a stranger she has only met a few times."
A hint of joy flashed in Mo Bai's eyes beneath the brim of his hat.
He thought he had hidden it very well, but little did he know that Shen Qingshu had already seen through his reaction.
…
Xiao Anning was hospitalized for five days, and Shen Qingshu stayed with her at the hospital almost the entire time.
Mo Bai also stayed by their side every step of the way.
On the sixth day, Xiao Anning recovered and was discharged from the hospital.
Shen Qingshu sent her back to Yun Gui and entrusted her to Zhang Yun and Sister-in-law Yun to take care of, while she herself rushed to Huanxing without stopping.
Jiang Ruomi is in trouble!
Last night, paparazzi revealed that Jiang Ruomi went abroad not to study, but to secretly give birth.
The person who made the whistleblower's account was very detailed, and even included high-definition candid photos of Jiang Ruomi entering and leaving a private hospital abroad.
Upon receiving the news, Shen Qingshu immediately called Jiang Ruomi.
But I can't get through to Jiang Ruomi by phone!
Shen Qingshu felt that Jiang Ruomi would never do such a thing, so she immediately asked the public relations department to remove the trending topic.
The trending topic has been removed, but Jiang Ruomi's fans still hope that she can personally come forward to clarify the situation. They have been waiting for Jiang Ruomi on her personal Weibo account.
But at this crucial moment, Jiang Ruomi is impossible to contact!
Upon arriving at Huanxing, Shen Qingshu immediately convened a meeting.
Jiang Ruomi is currently abroad, but two movies starring her are scheduled to be released in the second half of the year. If something happens to Jiang Ruomi at this time, these two movies will also be affected.
Shen Qingshu asked Yang Heng to find a way to contact Jiang Ruomi.
Yang Heng said, "Ruomi lost contact with me a few days after arriving in N country."
“She’s your artist. Even if she’s temporarily retired from the entertainment industry, as long as the contract is still in effect, you, as her manager, have an obligation to keep an eye on her at all times. She’s been out of contact with you for almost half a month, and you’re not worried at all?”
Yang Heng lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, this was my oversight."
“It’s no use talking about this now,” Shen Qingshu said. “Whether the news is true or false, we must suppress it! If removing it from the trending topics doesn’t reduce the buzz, then we should see if there are any other artists in the company with suitable topics for hype recently, and hype them up. That will definitely bring down Jiang Ruomi’s popularity.”
"yes!"
"OK!"
"Understood, Mr. Shen."
...
Unable to contact Jiang Ruomi through normal channels, Shen Qingshu had no choice but to resort to unorthodox methods.
Shen Qingshu contacted Song Lanyin.
Six months ago, before Song Lanyin left, she hugged Shen Qingshu and slipped a business card into Shen Qingshu's pocket.
The message simply reads: "Call this number if you need anything, and I'll help if I can."
Shen Qingshu only discovered it when she got home that day.
She kept the business card.
I didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.
Song Lanyin was extremely efficient; she replied to Shen Qingshu in less than an hour.
On the phone, Song Lanyin said, "I sent you Jiang Ruomi's current address in N country, but this place is not simple; ordinary people can't get in."
"Where?" Shen Qingshu asked.
"A private estate in the capital, complete with private one-on-one medical facilities and an independent security system. In N country, only the most powerful figures can afford such an estate."
Calmly and gently, she relaxed her furrowed brow.
Is the leak true?
"Do you need me to go in and scout it out for you?"
After a moment's thought, Shen Qingshu said, "I want to see her in person."
She still couldn't believe that Jiang Ruomi would do something like 'secretly giving birth'!
"You can see her if you want, but I don't recommend you come alone."
"I have bodyguards."
"several?"
Shen Qingshu: "One."
“That’s not enough,” Song Lanyin said. “There are more than a dozen private bodyguards in that manor, and weapons control in N country is not as strict as in China. If you try to force your way in, the chances of getting shot are very high!”
Shen Qingshu fell silent.
"How about this, you pay a commission, and I'll help you find Jiang Ruomi and have her contact you to give you a clear answer."
It seems that this is the only way things can be for now.
Shen Qingshu agreed.
…
After that, Shen Qingshu waited for a whole day before receiving a call from Jiang Ruomi.
On the phone, Jiang Ruomi still called her "Sister Qingshu," but her tone was no longer as innocent and cheerful as before.
Upon hearing this tone, Shen Qingshu knew that the revelation was true.
She was disappointed in him, but even more puzzled.
"Ruomi, give me a reason."
“It was an accident…” Jiang Ruomi’s voice choked up. “Sister Qingshu, I really didn’t mean to hide it from you. I was just too scared.”
Shen Qingshu closed her eyes briefly, her voice cold, "What do you mean by 'accident'? Is it an unplanned pregnancy, or an accident that revealed your impending secret birth abroad?"
“The pregnancy was unexpected,” Jiang Ruomi said. “I was drunk at the time, and I really don’t remember anything. I took the emergency contraceptive pill the next day, but I don’t know why I still got pregnant…”
Who is the child's father?
"Qingshu, please don't ask anymore." Jiang Ruomi's voice was trembling with tears. "I know I've let you down, but I really want to have this child."
Shen Qingshu herself is a mother of two, and she knows very well how hard it is to be a single mother.
I also understand Jiang Ruomi's reluctance to part with her own flesh and blood.
She sighed, "What was the child's father's attitude?"
"He still cares about me and loves me very much, and he values this child very much. Sister Qingshu, you are also a mother, you will understand me, right?"
“I understand how you feel as a mother, but I don’t understand why you didn’t tell me immediately. From a public perspective, your actions have caused deceptive losses to the company; from a private perspective, if you truly consider me a friend, you shouldn’t have kept it from me.”
"I'm sorry, I really don't know how to tell you..." Jiang Ruomi cried, "Sister Qingshu, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed in me, I'm afraid you'll be angry with me..."
“If you had chosen to be honest with me from the beginning, I might have been angry, but I would have supported you. But you didn’t. You missed the opportunity for me to be most tolerant of you. Jiang Ruomi, you have blocked your only way out. Now you can only leave the entertainment industry and focus on getting pregnant.”
After saying that, Shen Qingshu hung up the phone.
Jiang Ruomi called several more times afterward, but Shen Qingshu did not answer.
Finally, Jiang Ruomi sent a message: "Qingshu, please don't be angry with me, okay? I'm carrying Dr. Jin's child, and I really can't bear to abort it."
