696 Drastic Measures

Francesca's brows furrowed up while Han Yiheng pursed his lips to hold back his laughter. "Feifei, you are married?"

Su Feifei looked at Francesca and smiled sheepishly, "You didn't know?"

Francesca shook her head in response and Han Yiheng glared at his friend saying, "She is married to her work. Her 'husband' is her work. Don't listen to this crackhead."

"As if you're any smarter," retorted Su Feifei. 

"At least, I don't coax my car," he shot back.

"Grrr..."

While Su Feifei growled at him Francesca finally let out a smile. 

"Oh, look. This lady has such a beautiful smile. No wonder it captured someone's heart." Han Yiheng glared at Su Feifei for running off her mouth without thinking yet again. The latter didn't even care as always and stepped over to Francesca's side. She patted her shoulder and said, "Your son is tougher than you think. So, smile a little brighter. A smile can heal any wound."

"Are you changing your profession to being a philosopher now?"

Su Feifei made a face at Han Yiheng, "No, dumbo! I won't change my profession until I get to beat you on national tv."

"Dream on!" Han Yiheng turned to Francesca and added, "Ignore her. This chatterbox has nothing good to say. Let me bring you to the hospital."

As Francesca took the passenger seat, she looked at Su Feifei and asked, "Fei, do you wanna come with us?"

Han Yiheng stared at Su Feifei and gave her a signal. Su Feifei was amused by his reaction. She sighed out, "Nah. I can't leave my dumb machine alone here. It gets lonely."

"Let her be," said Han Yiheng and hurriedly stepped on the accelerator. He even left his driver behind. How could Su Feifei not see that he wanted to spend some alone time with Francesca?

"Opportunist," she cursed out while shaking her head in disdain. Taking advantage of an emotionally weak woman, he really was an opportunist. 

But her opinion didn't matter to Han Yiheng at all. He just wanted to be there for Francesca at this time. He didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

While Su Feifei was scratching her head, Ying's grandmother came to her side. "That was chaos. Bloody chaos."

Su Feifei shrugged her shoulders, "This is why I avoided marriage my whole life. It gets bloody! And you can never see a man's, unscrupulous heart."

"That's because I am amused," she didn't deny it but rather accepted it outrightly. "I have seen my pretty Yingying getting verbally abused by Qiu Meihui for far too long. If it wasn't that Xin Zimen was Qiu Jiayi's sworn brother, I'd have already shown that girl her place. She is far eviler than you think."

Shania couldn't disagree with those words. Although she wasn't as clear about the dispute between Ying and Meihui, she was clear about one thing; her granddaughter didn't like the other person.

"Do you think that girl, Bai Xiu is really Xin Zemin's daughter?"

Su Feifei opened the bonnet of her car and tried to find out what was wrong with this dumb machine of hers as she replied, "You still have doubts?"

"I... Don't know really. Because I can swear that Zemin would never cheat on Huan."

Su Feifei thought about it for a moment before nodding her head, "There are other ways to have kids. But then why would he hide something like this from Huan? How come she doesn't even know anything?"

Shania's eyes fell on two figures not far away and her eyes flashed as she said, "I get it now... Zhao Huan had three miscarriages. Only an idiot would believe that any of it was a coincidence." She took a pause and added, "No wonder Zemin had to take drastic measures."

"Even if I agree with your words, who would explain why Zemin himself had no clue about Xiu's existence? Does it make sense?" Su Feifei thought her brain was gonna explode. 

She looked over at Xin Zimen who was also getting in his car and called out, "Brother in law, you're going to the hospital?" Xin Zimen nodded his head. "Let me hitch a ride with you then." Xin Zimen looked back at her car and she hurriedly added, "This tin box is broken. Completely useless."

"I'm coming with you two as well," said Shania.

Su Feifei looked at her in displeasure, "Why are you inviting yourself?"

"You did the same thing," the older woman retorted. 

"Can we hurry up?" Xin Zimen's voice broke their argument as they promptly got in his car and the driver started the car.

He was rubbing his forehead in worry when Su Feifei questioned, "Ge-Ge, is Xiu...?"

She didn't even finish her sentence when Xin Zimen sighed out heavily, "I don't know. That elder brother of mine said he'll tell the truth before Xiu. Because he wants to ask her something as well. I don't even know what he is thinking but I honestly don't care right now."

"Then why do you look worried?"

Xin Zimen pressed his forehead again as he said, "Isn't it because of that little lass? I don't know what her condition is. The doctor just said she needs a peaceful environment. What am I gonna do if anything happened to her or her..."

Both Su Feifei and Shania shared a look of understanding and chose to not ask anything else. He looked really distressed.
