"Wait a minute!"
Lin Zhiyi shouted, interrupting the aggressive Old Mr. Gong.
Old Mr. Gong squinted his eyes and glared at Lin Zhiyi with displeasure.
"What else do you want to say? Lin Zhiyi, it doesn’t matter whose side you’re on today, you can’t help your mother."
"Old Mr. Gong, what can a simple photo of my mom and me visiting the hospital prove? I want to ask, how did Third Madam happen to be at the hospital so coincidentally?"
"I was just having a regular health check-up," Sang Ran said.
"Was the doctor male or female? With your meticulousness, it must have been a female doctor, right?" Lin Zhiyi continued to inquire.
"..."
Sang Ran remained silent.
Lin Zhiyi answered for her, "It seems it was a male doctor. The duty of a doctor is to save lives, regardless of gender. But how did it turn into an affair with Third Madam and President Wen?"
At this moment, Wen Qing stepped forward with a snort.
"Lin Zhiyi, did you really think you and your mother hid well? I was initially considering you two could just admit your mistakes and leave quietly, saving Second Young Master and Mr. Sang from embarrassment. Since you’re so eager to disgrace yourself, I’ll grant you that wish."
"President Wen, thank you for granting my wish," Lin Zhiyi smiled.
"Not seeing the coffin, shedding no tears."
Wen Qing looked toward his assistant a few steps away.
The assistant immediately had the bodyguards bring someone up.
Doctor Wu.
Wen Qing pointed at Doctor Wu and said, "Here is Second Madam’s lover. I happened to see Second Madam intimate with him in private, felt it was odd, so I investigated. Who would have thought Second Madam couldn’t stand loneliness, meeting her lover privately while Second Young Master was busy with work?"
Lin Zhiyi didn’t hurry to refute but exchanged a glance with Doctor Wu.
Everything was just right.
Wen Qing arrogantly said, "Doctor Wu, today Old Mr. Gong and Third Young Master are both present. You need not fear, make clear what happened between Second Madam and you."
"Alright," Doctor Wu nodded.
The crowd looked at Liu He mockingly, waiting to see the drama unfold.
Doctor Wu took a deep breath and said, "Second Madam and I have... a doctor-patient relationship. There’s nothing going on between us."
Wen Qing’s face changed, "What nonsense are you saying?"
Doctor Wu frowned and said, "President Wen, before you caught me, didn’t you ask what kind of doctor I am?"
"What do you mean?" Wen Qing sensed something amiss.
Lin Zhiyi quickly signaled Liu He.
Liu He stepped forward, lowered her handkerchief and explained, "Doctor Wu here is a student funded by Second Young Master and myself, specializing in... obstetrics and gynecology."
Her tone was one of relief, even triumph.
"Obstetrics and gynecology?" Wen Qing froze, his gaze fell on Liu He’s belly.
Liu He smiled as she caressed her belly, "At my age, being pregnant requires caution, so I’ve been very careful. This is just three months along. I was initially planning to share privately with Second Young Master. Today I must thank President Wen and Xiao Ran for giving me this public opportunity."
Doctor Wu explained, "Second Madam is an older pregnant woman, so the check-ups are more frequent. She only came to me for prenatal exams once her pregnancy was confirmed, all recorded. There’s no way it can be faked."
This was like a bolt from the blue, catching everyone off guard.
This is also why Lin Zhiyi had to wait until the last moment to announce.
Without clarifying the true purpose, not exposing the child was self-preservation.
Now everything was clear.
Old Mr. Gong set the stage, Wen Qing and Sang Ran performed the play.
One wanted to force Gong Shiyan to step down, the other wanted to eliminate Lin Zhiyi and Liu He.
But none of them anticipated that the affair would turn into a pregnancy.
Lin Zhiyi supported Liu He and intentionally said, "Mom, you must thank Old Mr. Gong. If he hadn’t held the banquet, how could it have introduced your child in such a grand manner? It shows this child is fated with Old Mr. Gong!"
With so many witnesses, if Old Mr. Gong still wanted to harm the child, that would truly be embarrassing.
Just as she finished speaking, Gong Chen took over. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
His voice was not loud, yet his words were always weighty.
"Second Brother, congratulations."
Those who could adapt quickly changed their tune.
"Second Young Master, Second Madam, congratulations, congratulations."
"Old Mr. Gong, congratulations."
Old Mr. Gong’s face turned a dark shade of green, yet he had no choice but to greet people with a smile.
Finally, he could only glare angrily at Wen Qing and Sang Ran.
But they were stupefied, unable to pay attention to anything else.
