Chapter 289 - He Hadn’t Been so Humiliated in the Public

Yang Fangxu was detained in the study along with her mother. She was sitting there on a chair, not speaking a word as her body drenched in sweat. Her mother kept asking what happened to her, but she didn't speak a word. Her mind was numb. She had taken her revenge from the woman who had been the cause of her agonies.

The person who was extremely worried about the whole incident was the mayor. He had to do damage control. There were over two hundred guests who were invited and all from very influential and powerful circles of the society. How could this happen so suddenly? He was feeling guilty as to why he called Yang Fangxu. But he felt that by calling her, he would make her accept his demands. He wanted to seal her career and also let her feel happy by continuing in the industry under the guidance of Wu Lina. But Wu Lina did not agree. As a father what else could he do for his child? But Yang Fangxu had gone really far this time.

He called Yang Xinyu first and asked about Wu Lina's health. When he came to know that the babies were fine, he felt better. He dismissed all his office people and went in the study.

He picked a cane, which was kept beside his bookshelf. Yang Fangxu's mother became anxious and got up from her place to stop him, but he pushed her aside and went near Yang Fangxu. For the first time, he caned any of his children. It was not because she was jealous of Wu Lina but because she was evil enough to think of harming her when she was seven months pregnant.

And in a week's time she would enter her eighth month.

He had so happily announced Wu Lina's pregnancy. The celebration was marred by Yang Fangxu. He was embarrassed to the core. He hadn't been so humiliated in the public.

The entire house echoed with her shrieks.

Two days later, even though Yang Fangxu hadn't recovered from all the bruises that received, she and her mother were sent outside the country. Their passports were revoked and they could never enter their country again. The mayor had made arrangements for them to live throughout their lives comfortably over there. It was just that she could never do a job or come back to her homeland. She had pleaded her father to not send her away, but her pleas fell on deaf ears. It was the worst kind of punishment she could ever receive. She was so passionate about film industry, but everything was being snatched form her in a matter of two days. She realized that she had annoyed wrong people. Along with her, her mother was being punished. She didn't know anyone in the new place. All her debts were quietly cleared behind her.

A week later Wu Lina's swelling subdued quite a bit and she felt better. Her babies had started kicking her tummy at every now and then. She was getting irritated by her condition. There was no peace during any time of the day. She had become edgy and would shout on servants even for a small mistake. All of them missed the old behavior of the missus, who was quiet and calm most of the times.

Yang Xinyu could understand her problem. He had bought soothing music for her to listen because he thought that the kids calm down after listening to music in their mother's w.o.m.b. Hence the entire day the music used to be on. However, none of this was helping her and she remained agitated.

Yang Xinyu insisted that they show to the doctor to understand as to why are the kids so active. Wu Lina couldn't agree more.

The doctor did her ultrasound and said, "The kids can hear the noises from outside. So any loud noise may trigger them getting disturbed. Also Wu Lina you have three of them, so even there is a possibility that if two are sleeping, one of them is active. You have to bear with this commotion inside your belly for another two months."

"Doctor, please can you do caesarian and take them out? I want to have one night's rest," asked Wu Lina.

The doctor looked at her and pitied her. She was about to say that this would get worse when the kids are out but she stopped and said, "No Wu Lina, we cannot do that. You should have a natural delivery. Caesarian is done when there is any complication. You are a young girl and this shouldn't be an issue."

Wu Lina made a sad face and sulked. Another two months!

Back at the house, Yang Xinyu had stopped speaking much out of fear that it could trigger Wu Lina's anger, so he concentrated on watching TV, exercising or playing squash in his personal court apart from various other activities. Of course, this was apart from taking care of her.

He remembered her outburst about asking to live separately and so he would avoid talking to her specially now that she was too uncomfortable because of his kids. He would secretly talk to them at night to stay quiet and not trouble her. But they never listened to their father!

"How will I manage you guys when you have taken birth, when you won't listen to me now?" he would often lament.

Wu Lina had stopped going to the office because she was restless most of the times. If needed she used to take meeting via video conferencing. Signing up of the new stars was halted. Che Mingliang had a lot of work to do in her absence. Zhou Hai xiang would try his best to help her out at every given opportunity, and the fact that Wu Lina had stopped coming to the office, he could spend time with her freely.

It was during one evening when Yang Xinyu was watching news on TV, he received a call from Zhou Hai xiang, "Sir, we have received information as to who had bought the shares of the company…"
