Can We Say No to Divorce?-Chapter 618 - 380: The Risk is Extremely High

"Handle it as you see fit, I’m in a hurry..." He Chenxiang couldn’t care less about the car anymore. What surprised him was Ji Su’s love for Gu Yucheng. Any doctor knows that for a woman with heart disease, the risk of pregnancy and childbirth is extremely high...

...

Ji Su lay on the sofa to rest. Although the child was still very small, just a tiny cell, she believed that one day, it would grow bigger and bigger inside her womb...

Her anticipation for the future made her forget the anxiety brought by her heart disease.

She had already begun to prepare things for the baby, including bottles, small clothes, and other items, browsing through them on her mobile phone.

Then, she heard the sound of the doorbell.

Few friends even knew about the place she rented.

Through the peephole, she saw Zhuo Yufeng outside. Although she found it a bit strange, she opened the door nonetheless: "Zhuo sir, what brings you here!"

Suddenly, her expression changed, "Is it about my mother?"

Zhuo Yufeng had originally made up an excuse that he was passing by and Bei Ran had asked him to check on her. Then he thought better to mention Zhang Yulian’s situation and so he entered: "Indeed, it’s about Zhang Yulian..."

"How is she?" Ji Su only knew that Yang Junyi’s father had requested an appeal, and she had been so emotionally drained recently that she had no time to concern herself with these matters.

"Could you pour me a glass of water? The elevator broke down, and I had to take the stairs..." said Zhuo Yufeng.

"Sure, have a seat!" Ji Su quickly responded, turned around to grab a cup, and poured the water.

As soon as Zhuo Yufeng entered, he observed the setup of her room and placed a listening device in the gap of the sofa; indeed, it was a good hiding spot. However, it would not be feasible when she was out. His gaze fell on her handbag, and while Ji Su was pouring the water, he swiftly placed it inside her handbag.

If a police officer wants to be a good cop maintaining peace, it’s not easy.

If a police officer wants to be a "bad" cop who puts themselves at risk, it’s as easy as turning one’s hand over.

Ji Su poured the water, came over, and handed it to Zhuo Yufeng: "Zhuo sir, how is she now?"

"I came to tell you that the appeal is likely to uphold the original verdict. She didn’t intend to kill Yang Junyi’s mother; it was just a fatal mistake," Zhuo Yufeng explained.

Ji Su nodded: "Thank you!"

Zhuo Yufeng looked at her: "You seem not to care about the trial’s result?"

Ji Su calmly said: "I can’t afford to care. Whether it’s the first trial or the appeal, the Yang Family lost a life, and they are definitely not content. That’s human nature, and she deserves her punishment. The wheel of justice grinds slowly but surely."

"Since you are so accepting, why risk your life to have your ex-husband’s baby?" Zhuo Yufeng asked her.

Ji Su’s face changed, her lips quivered slightly, as if the most vulnerable part of her heart was ruthlessly dissected by someone, although she always told herself that the child was hers alone. Since she had the child, she would love and care for this little angel in her life. Why did everyone else ask her the same thing?

"This is my child, it has nothing to do with him!" Ji Su’s voice trembled, and then she sat down on the sofa.

Zhuo Yufeng sighed silently, the emotions of women, he really couldn’t understand!

He then stood up to leave, "Take good care of yourself living alone!"

"I won’t see you out," Ji Su said softly.

Zhuo Yufeng walked out the door and received a call from his subordinate: "Zhuo sir, do we need to set up another barrier? He Chenxiang has already taken another taxi and left?"

"No need!" Zhuo Yufeng exited Ji Su’s home and then drove away, "Let him go."

Afterwards, Zhuo Yufeng parked the car in a relatively concealed spot nearby, then turned on his mobile phone. He had already connected the listening device in Ji Su’s home to his phone, and activated the recording function.

Soon, He Chenxiang went to Ji Su’s house. Ji Su was very silent, possibly unsettled by Zhuo Yufeng’s direct confrontation with her inner thoughts.

"Ji Su..." He Chenxiang embraced her tightly as soon as he entered the room.

Ji Su was startled by his actions and tried to push him away, but couldn’t, "Chenxiang, what are you doing?"

He Chenxiang’s voice was very low: "Can we not have this child, please?"

Ji Su realized what he meant, and said sadly, "You are also advising me to not have it? Why does everyone discourage me from having this child? A child is an angel, innocent, they deserve to come into this world. You’re a doctor, you should understand the value of life even more..."

"Yes! Precisely because I am a doctor, I understand the dangers you face when having a child even better. Studies indicate that over ninety-five percent of patients with heart diseases face life-threatening risks due to bodily abnormalities during pregnancy..." He Chenxiang explained.

Ji Su shook her head: "But there’s still a five percent chance of surviving, why shouldn’t I try? You know, I’d rather have the child safely in this world, even if it meant losing myself..."

"Ji Su!" He Chenxiang shouted, losing control, which was rare for someone as polite and gentle as him, "What spell of Gu Yucheng’s has you? Why do you insist on having another child for him? You two are already separated, divorced, just live well without this child, okay?"

Ji Su also grew agitated, "It’s not for him, this is my own child! It has nothing to do with him! The child is mine alone. I am not having this child because I love him, but because I respect this little life, I can’t bear it, I want this little life to survive..."

"That’s just self-deception!" He Chenxiang held her hands tightly, "Because this child shares the bloodline of both you and Gu Yucheng. You already have a daughter, deep down you hope to bear him a son; you can’t let go of over a decade’s feelings. If he were a good man, if he really loved you, then maybe. But he’s not a good man, nor does he truly love you, why would you risk your life for such a man?"

"Stop talking..." Ji Su shook her head, tears streaming down her face, her frail body seeming like it might collapse at any moment, her usually pure face unable to hide her sorrow, "Why does everyone think I’m having this child because I love him? This time I’m living for myself, both my child and I will actively work towards living positively, I will cherish my own life, and even more so this unborn child..."

He Chenxiang spoke with grief, "Okay, Ji Su, let’s not talk about your feelings for Gu Yucheng. Can we talk about your medical condition instead, is that okay? Do you know? People with heart conditions already face a great strain on their bodies. It might be manageable during early pregnancy, but in the later stages, as the fetus grows, it will press against your internal organs. Your heart has already undergone surgery, it cannot withstand such displacement and pressure, and may face imminent fatal risks. Can you bear to let the child suffer then? Can you bear to let the people who love you suffer the pain of losing you?"

Zhuo Yufeng was silently listening to their conversation while recording it in the car. Although he did not understand love, he knew that this recording was enough to unsettle Gu Yucheng!

So, he went directly to Gu Yucheng’s company. Upon seeing him, Gu Yucheng’s face turned iron blue without saying a word.

"I have something to show you!" Zhuo Yufeng handed over Ji Su’s medical record to him immediately.

Gu Yucheng still had a cold expression, "What does this prove?"

Zhuo Yufeng played the recording on his phone, "If the medical record still leaves you full of doubts, what about this, will you still not believe it?"

Listening to the conversation between He Chenxiang and Ji Su, Gu Yucheng also understood the meaning of the punch that He Chenxiang threw at him today and the words he had said!

He truly is the extreme of bastards!

He had never believed that the child Ji Su was pregnant with was his!

He did indeed worry about her, because she still wanted to have a child despite her heart disease, but he thought that she was having the child for another man!

Seeing Gu Yucheng sitting collapsed in his office chair, Zhuo Yufeng said, "President Gu, if you used your commercial acumen to seriously analyze a woman’s mind, perhaps you and Ji Su wouldn’t have ended up like this today. High IQ often comes with low EQ, and that’s exactly what you are! Well, I’ve said my piece, you take care now, I’m leaving."

Gu Yucheng closed his eyes, his mind replaying the way Ji Su looked in his arms, her gentle whispers beside him...

Why didn’t she tell him? That it’s his child?

Why? He had asked her!

Ji Su, has our trust deteriorated to this extent?

Gu Yucheng stood up and left the office.

His mind also kept replaying the words Zhuo Yufeng had said, "If you used your commercial acumen to seriously analyze a woman’s mind, perhaps you and Ji Su wouldn’t have ended up like this today..."

He really thought about giving up!

Not only was she tired, but so was he; he longed for a warm home, a sincere love, he detested all deceitful relationships. The business world was already a place where everyone wore masks, ready to stab each other in the back, in matters of love, and within the family, he hoped for pure emotions.

He couldn’t tolerate any betrayal by others, especially by a woman he loved!

When Ji Su chose to help her mother and betrayed him, all he felt towards her was hate!
