Chapter 130: The person in the abortion room has disappeared

"If I get rid of this child, I won't be able to have children in the future. Do you still want me? A woman who can't have children?" She pushed him away and sat in a sorry state. She looked empty. Tears flowed down her cheeks.

"You are enough." He meant this from the bottom of his heart. He tried to hold back his tears.

Of course, she was enough. When they were old and helpless, they would have each other.

"I know. I'll rest now. Help me bring the food in." Su Mianmian wiped her tears and acted as if nothing had happened.

Lu Xiangdong was very worried.

"Okay, what do you want to eat? You can tell me. I'll get my assistant to buy it." He glanced at her and she just nodded.

Lu Xiangdong sighed helplessly. He opened the door of the ward and went out.

The assistant had been waiting in the hospital corridor. When he saw Lu Xiangdong coming out of the ward, he quickly got up and walked over.

"CEO Lu, how's the situation?"

"Where's the food that I asked you to buy?"

The assistant turned around and picked up food from the chair beside him. "CEO Lu, the food is here."

Lu Xiangdong took the food.

The assistant asked worriedly, "CEO Lu, who exactly is sick? Is it Miss Su?"

He told the assistant not to spread the news around. He was afraid that Lu Wenzhong would find out.

"Don't ask so many questions. Go back."

The assistant nodded.

Lu Xiangdong opened the door and walked in.

"Your favorite food."

"Bring it here." Right now, she only wanted to fill her stomach. She'd eat anything so long as it wasn't poison.

Lu Xiangdong asked her to wait. He carried a small table to the bed and then put the food on the table.

Su Mianmian asked him to eat with her. She couldn't finish it all by herself.

Seeing how she was sad, Lu Xiangdong decided he would eat with her.

She picked up a spoon and started eating quietly. Lu Xiangdong glanced at her. He wondered what she was thinking right now.

"Su Mianmian, don't think about this anymore, okay?"

"I'm not thinking about it. Let's eat," Su Mianmian replied calmly.

However, her grave expression deceived her. She must be thinking about the child.

Lu Xiangdong stuffed the spoon into his mouth unhappily. She was not the only one who was upset.

"I've arranged for you to have an abortion next Monday. Rest well for the next few days. I'll give you a month's vacation to adjust and recuperate."

Su Mianmian dropped her spoon on the table. When she looked up, tears were flowing. "Since you've already arranged it, I don't seem to have any room to resist. I hate the smell of medicine in the hospital. I want to be discharged today and come back to the hospital for an abortion next Monday."

He nodded. "I'll help you with the discharge procedures later. When you go back, it's best not to go out. It's best to stay in your room for the next few days."

Su Mianmian instantly felt that living was really boring.

"You fainted this time because of the mastiff. It came to the company to look for me. Only then did I know that something had happened to you."

At the mention of the mastiff, Su Mianmian's mood lightened. She smiled and said, "The mastiff is like my son."

His eyes flashed, as if he had something to say. However, when he saw the miserable expression on her face, he remained silent.

In the afternoon, Lu Xiangdong helped her with the discharge procedures and drove her home.

Su Mianmian acted obediently. Along the way, she did not talk much. She just leaned her head against the window. She was quiet and in a daze. Whenever Lu Xiangdong turned his head, he saw her like this.

She did not say a word. It worried him.

When they had arrived home, Lu Xiangdong opened the car door. He wanted to get out of the car to help her, but she did not let him help her. When she saw the mastiff running towards her, a smile appeared on her face. She squatted down and stroked the mastiff's head. "Mastiff, thank you for saving me."

Lu Xiangdong felt a little jealous. She should be the one thanking him. If it was not for him, no one would have sent her to the hospital.

Su Mianmian got up and led the mastiff away. Lu Xiangdong gritted his teeth and followed her.

"Su Mianmian, I know you're angry at me, but no matter what I do, it's for your own good."

"I know, so I don't blame you. I only blame myself. I blame myself for not being able to have a child."

He was stunned on the spot. He had thought that she was angry at him, but she was actually angry at herself. He watched her walk away. The woman who had always been arrogant and rude suddenly had something on her mind.

Lu Xiangdong went to work and Su Mianmian laid on a chair, basking in the sun. The mastiff ran around. Her gaze was on the mastiff, but her mind was not on it.

She put her hand into her pocket and touched her stomach.

She suddenly let out a breath, as if she had made a big decision. She took out her phone and called someone.

She put the phone to her ear and fiddled with it. Her hand was on her chest, and she felt that her heart was beating unusually fast.

"Mianmian?" Ouyang Que was quite surprised to receive a call from Su Mianmian.

"Ouyang Que, you said before that if I encounter any problems in the future, I can come to you. Can you keep this promise now?"

Ouyang Que asked curiously, "Have you encountered any trouble? Tell me."

"Do me this favor and I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life," Su Mianmian said with her eyes closed.

Ouyang Que felt uneasy in his heart.

Lu Xiangdong had been absent-minded for the past two days. Whenever he thought about the abortion, his mind would wander. He knew that, although his decision was cruel, it was for her own good. She would understand.

He picked up a pen and signed a document.

It was late when Lu Xiangdong arrived home. He saw that the lights in the villa were still on. It seemed that she was still awake. He opened the car door and got out.

Su Mianmian sat in the living room, watching TV. There was a cup of boiling water on the coffee table.

He put his briefcase aside and walked behind her. "What did you have for dinner?"

"I ordered takeout." Her gaze was fixed on the television screen. Judging from her expression, she seemed to be in a much better mood than before.

He placed his hands on the sofa behind her. "We have to go to the hospital tomorrow. Rest early."

She clearly trembled when he said this. He placed his hands on her shoulders and comforted her, "The surgery will be quick. It won't hurt."

Su Mianmian nodded.

Lu Xiangdong drove her to the hospital, and Su Mianmian drank water the entire way.

He thought that she must be nervous. He wanted to use the water to divert her attention and took the water bottle away from her hand. "Don't drink too much. We're at the hospital."

She nodded, pushed open the car door, and got out.

Lu Xiangdong parked the car at the entrance of the hospital and entered the hospital with her.

As soon as they entered the hospital, he contacted the doctor from last time and asked him to arrange for Su Mianmian to enter the abortion room.

Su Mianmian had her head lowered the whole time. She placed her hands by her side and bit her lips.

Lu Xiangdong accompanied her to the entrance of the abortion room. "Go in. I'll wait for you outside."

"I- I want to go to the toilet." She suddenly raised her head. Tears glistened in her eyes.

He nodded and told her to go quickly.

Su Mianmian clenched her fists and walked away from him.

While Lu Xiangdong waited at the entrance of the abortion room, the attending doctor brought a female doctor over.

"President Lu, let me introduce you. This is doctor Wang. She will be responsible for your wife's surgery later."

"Hello, President Lu. May I ask where your wife is?'' Dr. Wang asked with a smile.

Lu Xiangdong looked at his watch.

"She went to the bathroom. Please wait a moment. I will go and take a look." Lu Xiangdong nodded to the two of them.

When he left, he called his assistant and asked him to come to the hospital immediately.

Lu Xiangdong asked a woman if she could look for Su Mianmian in the bathroom.

She came out to tell him that there was no one inside.

He quickly took out his phone to call Su Mianmian, but her phone was turned off.

Damn it! Had she ran away?

Su Mianmian ran out of the hospital. Ouyang Que's car was parked downstairs. When she came out, he quickly opened the car door for her.

"Drive."

"Where are we going? " Ouyang Que thought that Lu Xiangdong would soon suspect him.

Su Mianmian had also thought about this. She could not implicate Ouyang Que, and she could not let Lu Xiangdong find her. She had to hide some place she could give birth to the child smoothly.

She had to go to a place that Lu Xiangdong could not find.

"Where is the funeral parlor?" This scared Ouyang Que so much that he almost stepped on the wrong pedal.

"Why are you going to the funeral parlor?"

No matter how smart Lu Xiangdong was, he would never think that she would stay near the funeral parlor.

"Escaping." She smiled, suddenly realizing that she was too calm in the face of danger. She even wanted to smile.

"Are you going to live in a funeral home?" Ouyang Que was scared by her.

Of course, she would not live in a funeral home, but she could find a job in a funeral home. It was not impossible.

"Mianmian, please, can you go to a better place? A funeral home is not suitable for raising a baby." Ouyang Que hoped that she could live a happy life, but this was too risky. She had a heart disease and had left the city to go to a remote place. If she had a heart attack and there was no one around to take care of her, she could die. She was a pregnant woman. It would soon be difficult for her to do many things. Even if she did not feel it now, when the baby was born, she would definitely be very tired.

She had considered all of this, but if she did not find a remote place to raise the baby, Lu Xiangdong would definitely find out. She could not risk being captured by Lu Xiangdong. It was dangerous to have the baby, so she wanted to find a place that he would not think of to live. Even if her chances were only fifty percent, she was willing to give it a try. If she died, she felt that it would be worth it. After all, she had lived for her mother for almost half of her life. She felt no attachments when her mother had died, she even felt relieved.

If others knew how she felt, they would definitely think that she had been possessed. She shouldn't be thinking this way.

"Mianmian." She had been distracted for a long time, he had to call her name for her to respond to him.

Su Mianmian looked at him and smiled. "There's nothing wrong with working in a funeral parlor. Perhaps in the future, you might even ask me to help you arrange your funeral."

Ouyang Que frowned. She did not have to curse him to death so quickly!

Su Mianmian felt very confused about the path she had chosen.

But when she thought of her child, she had the motivation to live again.

The assistant rushed to the hospital and saw CEO Lu sitting in the hospital corridor in a sorry state. His head was lowered. He looked very dejected.

"CEO Lu." The assistant called out dryly.

He looked up at the assistant. "Send someone out to look for Su Mianmian. When you find her, bring her to me immediately."

The assistant looked at him in shock. "CEO Lu, Miss Su is missing?"

"She ran away," Lu Xiangdong said through gritted teeth.

"She ran away?" Why did Miss Su run away? The assistant looked confused.

"Don't ask questions. Quickly send someone to look for her," he shouted impatiently.

The assistant pulled his thoughts back and nodded. "Yes."

After the assistant left, Lu Xiangdong sat back in his car. He started the engine and dialled a number.

Ouyang Que's phone suddenly rang. He raised his phone for Su Mianmian to see. Su Mianmian signalled him to pick up. If he didn't pick up, it would raise suspicion.

He put on his earpiece and asked calmly, "CEO Lu, what's the matter?"

Lu Xiangdong knew that Su Mianmian was definitely with him now because he couldn't think of anyone else who could help Su Mianmian.

"Su Mianmian is beside you, right? Tell her to pick up the phone," he said unhappily.

Ouyang Que looked at Su Mianmian who was sitting next to him and smiled. "CEO Lu, you really know how to joke. Why is Mianmian with me?"

"She's not with you? Then are you discussing business outside?" Lu Xiangdong heard the sound of a car on his side. He must have driven Su Mianmian away.

Su Mianmian frowned. This man was not just any ordinary person.

Ouyang Que smiled. "CEO Lu, can't I talk business outside?"

"Of course you can talk business, but if I find out that you helped her escape, I won't let you go." Lu Xiangdong hung up the phone. Then, he asked his assistant to replay the call. He wanted his assistant to trace the IP address of the call with Ouyang Que. Maybe he could start from there and find out where they went.

Su Mianmian frowned.

"What's wrong, Mianmian?"

"He called on purpose. He must be trying to find me through the IP address of the phone. Go back and find another funeral parlor," Su Mianmian said calmly.

Ouyang Que suddenly laughed. "I have to say, the two of you are really a good match."

How was she a good match for him? She had lived with him for so long that she had a good understanding of the man.

Qi Chuyan had just returned from a trip when she bumped into Lu Xiangdong. Lu Xiangdong looked very anxious as he walked past her.

"Brother Xiangdong, where are you going?"

Lu Xiangdong came back to his senses and looked at her. "I'm going out for a while. Where are you going?"

"I'm going out to buy something. Brother Xiangdong!" Qi Chuyan followed him as he walked to his car.

"Chuyan, I'm busy right now. Don't bother me." Lu Xiangdong closed the car door.

Qi Chuyan bit her lip and stood where she was. What did he mean? She didn't bother him at all.

Liao Xing, who was standing far away, watched this scene unfold. He passed his work to his subordinate, and walked over to Qi Chuyan.

Qi Chuyan turned around and bumped into him. Her face darkened as she looked at him. "Director Liao, what's the matter?"

"Deputy Director Qi, do you have time to have a drink?" Liao Xing asked directly.

She smiled rudely and said, "Director Liao, do you want to be an old cow eating young grass? Even if I wanted to have a drink with you, aren't you afraid that your wife will kill you?"

Although she was half-joking, Liao Xing's face still darkened.

"Vice President Qi, I'm treating you to a drink in the name of a client. What are you thinking? Or are you hinting at something?" Liao Xing smiled.

"Bah! I'm really sorry. I'm not interested in your invitation. Goodbye." Qi Chuyan had just been abandoned by Lu Xiangdong. She was not in a good mood. When faced with his invitation, she felt disgusted.

When she passed by him, Liao Xing grabbed her hand. "Vice President Qi, you're not the one who chases men like this."

"You- you eavesdropped?"

"No, I saw it with my own eyes. Any person could tell at a glance that you like your brother. You really have no sense of shame." He gripped her harder, and Qi Chuyan's arm began to hurt.

She stepped on his foot. "You don't have to care about my business! Get lost!"

Liao Xing grabbed her wrist and dragged her into his car, disregarding her wishes.

"Ah! What do you want to do? Let go! I want to get out of the car." Qi Chuyan grabbed his face. He easily grabbed her hands and pressed her against the back of his car.

"Qi Chuyan, I'll give you a piece of advice. Control your temper, or you'll suffer." He patted her cheek.
