Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 311: Chapter 301: Qiao Jing’s Emotion
 

The phone was connected to the car’s Bluetooth, and Zhan Qipei pressed the answer button, automatically activating the speakerphone.

No sooner had the call connected, Su Manhan’s voice, tinged with anger, came through.

“Qipei, where are you now? Is Qiao Jing with you?”

Zhan Qipei heard that Su Manhan’s tone was somewhat off and asked with confusion.

“What’s wrong?”

He waited for Su Manhan to continue.

Su Manhan snorted coldly.

“What else could it be? It’s all because of your precious wife’s doing, isn’t it?!”

Upon hearing this, Zhan Qipei glanced in Qiao Jing’s direction.

What happened? Does it have something to do with Qiao Jing’s current weak state?

Su Manhan snorted coldly again, and directly spewed curses.

“I never imagined Qiao Jing could be so vicious, pushing Jiang Ling down the stairs when she was nine months pregnant. Now she’s been taken to the operating room and hasn’t come out yet. Last time, I merely tugged at her clothes, yet she had the audacity to accuse me. I told you she was no good, but none of you believed me!

“Now the Jiang and Liu families have come knocking, dragging me to the hospital. Hurry up and bring her over to apologize to them. Her fate will depend on Jiang Ling’s condition.”

After blurting all this out without pause, Su Manhan had barely caught her breath when Zhan Qipei’s response nearly made her keel over.

“She’s feeling unwell; I’m taking her to the hospital.”

Zhan Qipei planned to take Qiao Jing to a private hospital to avoid an encounter with Su Manhan and the others.

Su Manhan’s eyes widened in disbelief, and she walked a few steps more, distancing herself from the Jiang and Liu families, before raising her voice.

“She’s feeling unwell? Looks to me like she’s feeling guilty, choosing to run away from such a heinous act! The Jiang and Liu families said that if anything happens to Jiang Ling, our Zhan—”

She hadn’t finished her sentence when Zhan Qipei cut her off with his final words and ended the call.

“Qiao Jing is feeling unwell; I’m on my way to the hospital with her. We can talk about the rest later.”

Listening to the dial tone, Su Manhan’s face flushed with anger.

Has Qiao Jing bewitched Qipei with some love potion? After doing something so malicious, Qipei still shields her?

Seeing this, I must drive Qiao Jing out of the Zhan family! And I must get someone to look at Qipei.

Otherwise, I fear that if Qiao Jing leaves, she’ll take my son’s soul with her, a true scourge, a siren!

Unable to contain her fury, Su Manhan called Zhan Qipei again. She was struggling to deal with the Jiang and Chen families insisting on seeing the culprit.

The first time, Zhan Qipei didn’t answer; the second time, the call was immediately hung up; and the third time, the phone was turned off completely!

Su Manhan’s hands shook with rage, and after taking several deep breaths, she feared she might eventually be driven mad by her son.

No, more likely by her daughter-in-law.

After Zhan Qipei turned off the phone, the car returned to silence.

Nothing mattered more than Qiao Jing’s health, and he had to take her to the hospital for a check-up no matter what.

As soon as Zhan Qipei hung up the phone, he saw Qiao Jing staring at him.

“I didn’t do it.”

Qiao Jing had a rough idea of the situation as soon as Zhan Qipei picked up the call.

“Yeah, I know,” Zhan Qipei said, smiling at Qiao Jing. His dark pupils reflected the girl’s silhouette, his gaze as if he were looking at the entire world.

Meeting such a pair of devoted and unwavering eyes, Qiao Jing’s heartbeat accelerated unexpectedly at that moment, her ear tips reddened, and a warm current seemed to flow through her heart.

He was trusting her unconditionally…

“I’ll take you to the hospital first.”

After saying that, Zhan Qipei sped up, heading for the hospital.

Qiao Jing lifted her hand and gently placed it on the man’s wrist.

“I’m really fine, truly.”

Zhan Qipei glanced sideways at the hand on his wrist, his eyelids half drooping, hiding the emotions beneath.

A few seconds later, he gathered his thoughts.

He looked up and met Qiao Jing’s eyes.

“Really?” His voice was gentle and carried a trace of warmth, causing Qiao Jing’s heart to flutter.

“Mhm.” Qiao Jing nodded and removed her hand from his wrist.

After the touch on his arm disappeared, a faint look of disappointment crossed the man’s face.

“Okay, I’ll listen to you, now close your eyes and rest.”

His compromise stirred something in Qiao Jing’s heart. She reclined in the seat only after he stopped insisting on taking her to the hospital, and then she began to speak about the content of the phone call earlier.

“About that phone call, I feel I need to go over it with you…”

She then recounted every detail of the events that had taken place in the mall to Zhan Qipei.

After Zhan Qipei had heard the whole story, his thin lips pressed into a straight, unyielding line, and his face darkened as if it might start dripping with water.

“It’s possible that Lou Xinrou pushed someone down to frame you.”

Qiao Jing had not ruled out that possibility, but everything had happened so suddenly at the time that she hadn’t been able to see clearly how Jiang Ling had fallen forward.

Was it someone who had pushed her, or had she simply been careless?

“There is that possibility, but you have every reason to suspect that I’m saying this deliberately to sow discord between you and Lou Xinrou.”

A storm seemed to brew within the dark depths of Zhan Qipei’s eyes as he gazed directly into Qiao Jing’s, his voice somber as it flowed from his thin lips.

“I trust you.”

Zhan Qipei’s words delivered an invisible impact to Qiao Jing, enveloping her.

These four words reached the very bottom of her heart, like a huge stone dropping into a calm lake, creating a splash of great magnitude.

Her pupils trembled slightly, and her gaze fell on Zhan Qipei’s thin lips. After lingering for a few seconds, she diverted her eyes.

“If I’m not mistaken, Jiang Ling is at the Central Hospital. Let’s head there.”

Zhan Qipei frowned, knowing that what awaited them was a tempest of trouble.

However, Qiao Jing wasn’t in the best condition, and he didn’t want her to get involved in dealing with it; he was enough to handle the situation.

“I’ll take you home to rest first.”

Qiao Jing’s eyes were downcast, hiding her emotions as she slowly spoke.

“Do you think I’m the kind of woman who hides behind a man?”

Zhan Qipei grew even more concerned about Qiao Jing’s health and still did not want her to accompany him.

“I know you’re not, but you need to go home and rest first. I’ll go check on things for you.”

Qiao Jing looked up at Zhan Qipei with an unusually serious tone.

“Jiang Ling hasn’t come out of the operating room yet. I helped stabilize her before; I’m already involved, and I must go there.”

Indeed, she had managed to stabilize Jiang Ling for the time being, but that was only a temporary relief. Now, if Jiang Ling had not emerged from the operating room, her condition might have worsened, so Qiao Jing felt it necessary to make a visit.
