Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 1191 - 1169: Mrs. Nie, There Really Is Something Wrong with Your Health
Lijing Mountain? Brother Yixiao went to Wu Huiyun and Ning Duoduo’s place?
What is he doing there?
Wu Huiyun and Ning Duoduo have been confined there for almost a month.
Ning Xiaochuan couldn’t let go of his grievances and basically abandoned this mother and daughter pair, ignoring them as if they were dead. So why did Brother Yixiao suddenly go there?
Qiao Yongyong hung up the phone, feeling an uneasy sensation in her heart. Without realizing it, she put on her coat, left the Ning Family alone, hailed a taxi, and asked the driver to head to Lijing Mountain.
********
Once at Lijing Mountain, Qiao Yongyong jumped out of the car. She recalled Aunt Xia mentioning the apartment where Ning Duoduo and Wu Huiyun were confined and found her way there from memory.
This place is in the suburbs and is part of a military district’s unused property, so there’s usually not many people around.
The apartments are spread far apart from each other, and the surroundings are eerily deserted.
Once night falls, the silence is terrifying.
No wonder Ning Duoduo kept crying to leave, not wanting to stay there. Living in such a place for long truly is suffocating.
She entered the apartment, went upstairs, and saw that a door on the second floor was ajar. Walking in, the room was in complete disarray, with all sorts of miscellaneous daily items scattered about. It was clearly the place where Wu Huiyun and her daughter had been staying.
But neither Wu Huiyun nor Ning Duoduo were anywhere to be seen.
"Young Madam? What are you doing here?"
Suddenly, a surprised voice of a guard sounded from behind.
Qiao Yongyong turned around. It was a personal guard from the Ning Family’s inner courtyard, the one closest to Brother Yixiao, considered his confidant. She immediately confirmed that Brother Yixiao had been there and couldn’t help but ask, "Where’s Brother Yixiao?"
The guard was taken aback. Seeing that she knew the young master had been there, he could only stammer, "The young master has left."
"What was he doing here today? Where are Mrs. Ning and Miss Ning?" Qiao Yongyong asked in confusion.
The guard’s expression changed: "Young Madam, you’d better go back."
This was definitely suspicious. Qiao Yongyong glanced at the room, "Why aren’t they here anymore? Did Brother Yixiao take them away?"
The girl before him was the young madam of the Ning Family and the master’s wife. The guard didn’t dare conceal much and had to nod, "Yes."
"Where did he take them?"
"Miss was sent to a mountainous military district out of town, overseen by a subordinate of the Ning Family. The madam..." the guard hesitated.
"Speak."
"The madam was sent by the young master... sent to..."
"Speak!" Qiao Yongyong intensified her tone.
The guard had no choice but to tell the truth, "The madam was handed over to a human trafficker in Southeast Asia. By now, she should be on a ship, almost out of international waters."
Southeast Asian human traffickers? Qiao Yongyong couldn’t help but take a sharp breath at the implications of this.
Brother Yixiao had always kept the mother and daughter under house arrest without taking any concrete actions. She had asked him about it, and he had said he was waiting for Ning Xiaochuan to make a decision, as he was too lazy to bother.
After all, Ning Xiaochuan’s anger alone was enough for the mother and daughter to handle without him having to act.
Why—why suddenly resort to such decisive and ruthless punishment now?!
Especially... the shocking fate of Wu Huiyun greatly astounded her.
A genteel lady of a Chinese general’s family, sold to the population trafficker group in Southeast Asia...
"Why did Brother Yixiao suddenly do this?" It took her a while to steady her mind.
Actually, knowing the young master had made such a decision, the guard was also shocked. But the master was the young master of the Ning Family, so there was no disobeying. His confusion echoed in his answer: "I don’t know either. Anyway, last Thursday night, the young master suddenly asked me to contact someone outside to arrange the handling of the madam and the miss. The young master seemed very determined, wouldn’t be persuaded otherwise, especially furious with the madam... The young master always keeps his emotions in check, and I have never seen him that angry before..."
Thursday?
Qiao Yongyong’s heart skipped a beat. Wasn’t that the day her pre-pregnancy checkup results came out?
That same day, Brother Yixiao suddenly exploded with rage and ordered harsh punishment for Wu Huiyun?
Why?
Could there be any connection between the two?
"Young Madam, Young Madam?" The guard noticed her pale face and cautiously called a few times.
She forced herself to regain composure: "It’s nothing... Since Brother Yixiao is gone, I’ll leave too."
A few steps down the corridor, she suddenly stopped and turned back: "Oh, by the way, don’t tell the young master that I came to Lijing Mountain today."
"Huh?" The guard was puzzled.
She forced a smile and pretended like it was nothing, sticking out her tongue: "...He’s been busy lately and quick-tempered. I’m afraid he’ll be upset if he thinks I’m keeping an eye on him. I don’t want to be scolded."
That made sense. The guard nodded quickly, replying, "Okay, Young Madam."
...
Qiao Yongyong walked out of the apartment, burdened with thoughts. Reaching the roadside, she still lingered in her thoughts, not hailing a cab.
Something unspeakably strange gnawed at her, forcing her to speculate.
He is a person of restraint and calm, difficult to stir emotionally, and possesses very high emotional intelligence. Such an outburst couldn’t possibly be without reason.
Unless he discovered on that day that Wu Huiyun did something intolerable.
That day, her pre-pregnancy checkup report came out...
Her eyelashes fluttered, her hand moved over her lower abdomen, and she suddenly remembered the medicine Aunt Xia had been ordered to force-feed her these days. It was as if some doubt was gradually taking shape in her heart.
Suddenly, she made up her mind and signaled for a taxi.
As soon as she got in, her voice, slightly trembling, said, "Municipal Hospital."
*****************
Hospital. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
Gynecology office.
Guided by a nurse, Qiao Yongyong entered the doctor’s office.
The doctor, surprised by the pale young madam before him, guessed her purpose for coming.
As the nurse left and closed the door, Qiao Yongyong spoke anxiously, "Doctor, I want to know if there’s anything wrong with my pre-pregnancy checkup results. Please tell me the truth, can you?"
The doctor took a deep breath and remained silent.
The doctor’s hesitation only confirmed Qiao Yongyong’s suspicions.
So there really was something wrong with her health?
She leaned forward, elbows on the desk: "Doctor, I beg you, I am the one who was examined, I have the right to know."
Eventually, the doctor spoke up, "Yes, Mrs. Nie, there is indeed some problem with your health."
The doctor’s words, each like thunder rolling in from the clouds on a cloudy day, deafened Qiao Yongyong.
The doctor said she had been taking an anti-inflammatory drug, long banned from the market, which damaged her egg cells and endometrial lining, making it difficult for a fertilized egg to implant; future pregnancies would be very challenging.
She understood now.
It was done by Wu Huiyun.
Even amongst mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law of the same blood, there can be serious conflicts, let alone with a stepmother like Wu Huiyun.
Her existence might shake Wu Huiyun’s status as the mistress of the house.
If she were to give birth to the Ning Family’s grandson, it could be an even greater threat to Wu Huiyun’s position.
