The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion-Chapter 850 - 865: The Child Born Is Very Likely to Be Intellectually Disabled

Tonight, Qi Shangyu called Zhong Li several times, but she didn’t answer. Having no other option, he drove over late at night and had Assistant Wang make the call.

Assistant Wang looked at the pen writing on the A4 paper and began reading out the meaning: "Actually, President Qi might just not want to go abroad, and even more, he doesn’t want to be too far from you. That’s probably why he’s holding this board meeting. You won’t blame him, right?"

"If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now."

Zhong Li didn’t really want to talk about these things with Assistant Wang. If she weren’t upset, she would’ve answered Qi Shangyu’s calls earlier today.

"Hey, don’t hang up yet. I just... I just think that perhaps President Qi cares too much about you. He’s been getting himself drunk almost every day. Do you want to take some time to have a good talk with him?"

Assistant Wang was really exhausted mentally, having to relay such messages as an assistant.

"President Qi and I have only a sibling relationship. Please don’t say things like this in the future; it leaves a bad impression."

Zhong Li wasn’t angry with Assistant Wang; he was always outspoken.

"Alright, I’ll hang up now."

Assistant Wang turned and glanced at Qi Shangyu; seeing that he said nothing, he hung up the call.

"President Qi, I think... you two are biological siblings, you really can’t be together."

Assistant Wang didn’t know that Qi Shangyu was adopted, and the rest of his sentence, "Otherwise, the child born might be mentally challenged," got stuck in his throat.

He just couldn’t understand, no matter how much you like someone, you can’t be with your own biological sister, right? Wouldn’t that provoke a storm of criticism?

Qi Shangyu glared sharply at Assistant Wang and then got up and left his house.

Even after the door closed, Assistant Wang’s heart was still pounding wildly— that look... was terrifying.

......

Gu Nanxi handed a freshly squeezed orange juice from the kitchen to Zhong Li: "Who was on the phone?"

Zhong Li took a few sips of the orange juice and leaned her head on Gu Nanxi’s shoulder: "Assistant Wang, he asked when I’m going back to work."

"I think you shouldn’t return to work for now. Spend some quality time with Auntie."

"Yeah, I think so too. Oh, tomorrow noon, Xiao Xi and Jing Han said they want to visit my mom. Will you be back for lunch?"

Gu Nanxi gently rubbed the back of Zhong Li’s hand with his fingers, speaking softly: "I have a meeting with someone tomorrow at noon, so I probably won’t make it back."

"It’s okay, focus on your work."

.......

Early the next morning, Gu Nanxi went to the company right after breakfast; there was an important morning meeting to attend.

Zhong Li tidied up the dining table, then changed clothes in the bedroom and went out as well.

She went to the mall to buy Yu Lu a few outfits that suited her before driving to Qi Weidong’s villa.

The car stopped in front of the villa, and Zhong Li got out from the driver’s seat with the bags. The caregiver was taking Yu Lu for a walk in the community.

"Mom, I bought some clothes for you. Let’s go inside and try them on first."

Zhong Li smiled as she walked towards Yu Lu, and from not far away, a black car drove towards her. Yu Lu suddenly seemed to awaken, throwing aside the doll in her hand and ran over: "Daughter, move away."

Zhong Li stood there in shock, her eyes brimming with tears; Yu Lu actually recognized her.

The car was speeding ahead, clearly aiming towards Zhong Li, but Yu Lu ran over like mad and knocked Zhong Li aside, the two of them rolling far away together.
