109: Chapter 109: Regret to the point of trembling

Lin Hai was so angry at Song Yuan that his eyebrows were almost standing on end.

"Song Yuan, our Yao Yao truly misjudged you. I never thought you were such an irresponsible piece of trash. She was depressed for a month after breaking up with you, almost unable to recover, and this is how you treat her?

Even a tiger doesn't eat its cubs, yet you have no pity for your own child.

That was your flesh and blood!

If it weren't for you sending those thugs to our home to demand money, scaring Yao Yao, the child in her belly wouldn't have miscarried."

Song Yuan listened to this story, wondering how it was becoming more and more plausible.

He recalled that Lin Xueyao was indeed present when the debt collection company called him that afternoon. He heard screams on the other end of the phone. Could it be...

Could it be that it wasn't made up?

Song Yuan's heart couldn't help but beat faster.

Lin Hai took out the hospital payment slip from his pocket.

"You don't believe it, do you? See for yourself. It was you who killed your own child! Song Yuan, you've truly committed a sin! My daughter is now suffering both physically and mentally, and you must give our Lin family an explanation."

Song Yuan looked at the slips; they all had today's date and Lin Xueyao's name on them.

She had indeed undergone a D&C procedure that afternoon...

Song Yuan stared at the payment slips, his mind suddenly in chaos.

Gu Shiyu took the slips from Song Yuan's hand and calmly said,

"Lin Xueyao's child isn't yours. I took her for a DNA test. This can't be blamed on you."

Gu Shiyu originally didn't intend to tell Song Yuan about Lin Xueyao's pregnancy. After all, he and Lin Xueyao no longer had any relationship, and the child wasn't his, so there was no need to bring it up.

Now that the Lin family was blaming Song Yuan, Gu Shiyu could retrieve that DNA test report again.

Lin Hai angrily said,

"You say it's not and it's not? Who do you think you are?"

Gu Shiyu's expression was serious, and she replied word by word,

"I am Lin Xueyao's superior, the General Manager of Gus Group."

Lin Hai was startled. He knew Lin Xueyao worked at Gus Group, but he never expected the General Manager managing such a large group to be so young, appearing to be around his daughter's age.

Gu Shiyu's powerful aura was undeniable, and Lin Hai had no doubts.

Lin Hai still retained some sense of propriety. In front of his daughter's superior, he didn't throw a tantrum again, deciding to settle the score with Song Yuan another time.

"General Manager Gu, our Yao Yao is so miserable. She was brought here by ambulance this afternoon. She probably won't be able to come to work for the next few days. Could you please not deduct her salary?"

Gu Shiyu glanced at Lin Hai and asked in a cool voice,

"Which ward is she in? I'll go see her."

Lin Hai hurried ahead to lead the way.

Song Yuan was still immersed in Gu Shiyu's recent words. It turned out that without his knowledge, she had cleaned up countless messes for him.

She must have worried a lot about Lin Xueyao's pregnancy.

And when she returned home, she never showed any bad emotions. If they hadn't happened to meet this time, she probably wouldn't have told him any of this.

Song Yuan came to his senses, caught up, and held Gu Shiyu's hand.

Lin Hai pressed the elevator ahead, and when he turned back, he saw the two of them intimately linked again.

He looked at Song Yuan in disbelief, then at Gu Shiyu, his eyes filled with shock,

"You two..."

Gu Shiyu curved her lips and said,

"I am his wife."

The moment Lin Hai heard Gu Shiyu's reply, his pupils practically dilated.

Song Yuan actually found the General Manager of Gus Group to be his wife? Then his daughter had no chance at all.

Any man would know how to choose.

Lin Hai couldn't quite believe it was true. Song Yuan wasn't that outstanding in his eyes, just an ordinary man, so stingy that he had to come to their door to collect the three hundred thousand yuan he lent. He even felt that Song Yuan was a notch below his daughter, Lin Xueyao.

How could such an ordinary man, one you could grab off the street, actually hook up with a General Manager?

It was simply unbelievable.

Lin Hai felt extremely contemptuous of Song Yuan in his heart, even suspecting that this stunning General Manager had some handle held by Song Yuan. But he only thought about it; he didn't dare to say it in front of Gu Shiyu.

Gu Shiyu's powerful aura made him afraid to speak.

The elevator ascended, quickly arriving at the floor where Lin Xueyao was located.

Lin Xueyao was in a six-person ward. With patients and family members, there were almost twenty people in the room. As soon as they entered, it felt noisy, and the air was not good.

Gu Shiyu, visiting such an ordinary ward for the first time, frowned at the environment.

Lin Xueyao was in the bed closest to the door. She had an IV drip in her arm, had just woken up from a brief doze, her hair was disheveled, her face was deathly pale with no trace of color, and her lips were cracked.

Besides Lin Hai, there were no other relatives by her bedside, and the man who got her pregnant was also absent.

As a woman herself, Gu Shiyu felt a pang of pity seeing her like this.

"Lin Xueyao, I'm giving you half a month of paid leave. After you're discharged, resolve your personal issues. If you need help, you can find Ms. Xu."

Gu Shiyu saying this was giving Lin Xueyao special treatment. Ms. Xu was Gu Shiyu's special assistant and could speak on any matter.

Lin Xueyao spoke weakly,

"Thank you, General Manager Gu."

As they were talking, the doctor came.

"Family of patient sixteen, don't let the patient eat spicy, greasy, or cold things these next few days. If she doesn't recover well, she won't be able to have children in the future. She ate many things during her pregnancy that could cause miscarriage, and I don't know if it was intentional. Your family really doesn't care about human life.

Don't do this again!"

Lin Hai responded,

"Yes, yes, we understand, doctor."

Gu Shiyu couldn't help but ask,

"Where is the child's father? Why isn't he here?"

Lin Xueyao's throat felt sore. She saw Song Yuan standing beside Gu Shiyu, and tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes,

"Xiao Nianchen doesn't acknowledge this child. He said the child I'm carrying is someone else's bastard and he won't take care of me."

Lin Xueyao didn't want to cry, but the tears wouldn't stop.

Her most pathetic moment in this life was seen by Song Yuan.

The man who once promised to protect her for life, she lost him.

And the man she considered her true love didn't treat her like a human being at all. How ironic.

She regretted it so much her liver trembled.

Song Yuan just stood there in silence. Anything he said now would be inappropriate.

With Lin Xueyao in such a state, he had no reason to offer her comfort, nor could he kick her while she was down.

They had broken up; it was better to be strangers who didn't bother each other.

It was the path she chose, and she should bear it.

"Get well soon."

Song Yuan left these four words and walked out of the ward. He called the person who went to collect the debt that afternoon.

"When you went to collect the debt, did you hurt Lin Xueyao, or deliberately scare her?"

The other side replied,

"Mr. Song, we didn't touch her at all, nor did we scare her. We only laid hands on her son. That woman fainting was her own problem, and we were the ones who called the ambulance for her!"

"Okay, I understand."

It was good that her miscarriage wasn't because of the debt collection.

Song Yuan stood in the hallway for a few minutes, then Gu Shiyu came out.

"Shiyu, you knew Lin Xueyao was pregnant all along?"
