[Part 2: Prenatal check-up]
In just one day, Tang MoNing’s name was like a rocket, rushing to the top of the hot search list with a whoosh.
At night, in a high-end apartment in Nancheng.
Tang MoNing, who had just taken a shower, wore a pure white bathrobe, and his wet hair was still dripping with water. He seemed overwhelmed, sitting dully on the sofa like a fossil.
Zhou Yan, who was so angry, turned livid with rage, and he kept pacing back and forth in the room.
“What the h*ll are you thinking?” Zhou Yan’s face was like the gloom before the storm, he stared at Tang MoNing fiercely, with sinister eyes, “I’ve warned you time and time again not to get involved in this matter, and have you ever listened to me?!”
Tang MoNing shuddered when Zhou Yan yelled at him. His dull expression changed over and over again. He opened his mouth, but he didn’t know what to say.
Zhou Yan stared at Tang MoNing’s cowardly and timid look, and laughed angrily: “You know how to be a mute now? Well, let me tell you, it’s too late! Don’t think that Shi Hao is really interested in you because he helped you get a few jobs. Open your eyes and see how he treated Zu Qi. Zu Qi’s yesterday is your today!”
When Shi Hao’s name was mentioned, Tang MoNing, who had been as quiet as a chicken just now, suddenly couldn’t hold it back and murmured with a pale face. He said: “I did this voluntarily, and it has nothing to do with Brother Hao.”
“You’re still speaking for that pretty boy!” Zhou Yan hated iron for not becoming steel, and pointed to Tang MoNing’s phone on the coffee table, “It’s been a day, has Shi Hao called you? Does he care about your life or death? Wake up, please. He only needs a shield to divert the attention of the people, and you are that scapegoat…”
“Okay! Brother Yan, stop talking!” Tang MoNing interrupted Zhou Yan with a trembling voice.
Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment, then turned around. He saw Tang MoNing’s eyes quickly covered with a layer of mist, and all the words of reprimand were stuck in his throat.
Tang MoNing stood up and casually wiped the wet hair hanging down in front of his eyes, as if talking to himself: “I know what Brother Hao is like. No matter what he will not abandon me. He is just confined by his family and it’s just that there is no way to contact the outside world. He will come to me when he regains his freedom.”
Zhou Yan was angry and helpless. He was just about to tell Tang MoNing to stop deceiving himself when he suddenly heard the buzzing sound of Tang MoNing’s cell phone vibrating.
Tang MoNing, who had a sad look just a second ago, suddenly became happy. He picked up the phone and didn’t even look at the caller ID. He quickly answered the phone: “Brother Hao!”
“Who is your Brother Hao!” President Wang shouted angrily. His voice directly penetrated the phone and echoed in the quiet air, “Tang MoNing, do you even have a f*cking brain? Are you going to be sent up yourself alive as a target? Come to the company tomorrow morning!”
After saying that, President Wang hung up the phone
Tang MoNing froze on the spot holding the phone. It took him a long time to recover from the violent impact. He walked to Zhou Yan hurriedly, and knelt down with a plop.
When he raised his head again, Tang MoNing’s handsome face was already covered with tears. He begged in tears, “Brother Yan, please save me. I know I was wrong. I don’t want to be frozen out like Zu Qi last year.”
Zhou Yan looked down at Tang MoNing who was in tears, he felt a chill in his heart. He suddenly doubted whether his decision to abandon Zu Qi and put all his bets on Tang MoNing was correct.
But Tang MoNing was the one whom he made famous single-handedly, and he was the only trump card he could play. They were people that sank or swam together. If Tang MoNing fell, it meant that his cash cow was gone.
After thinking for a while, Zhou Yan helped Tang MoNing up. He suppressed the anger in his eyes and said warmly, “I can help you this time, but you must do what I say.”

Tang MoNing said without hesitation, nodding crazily.

The entire apology statement seemed to be sincere and genuine, but in fact it was just shirking and dodging responsibility. He avoided dealing with the most important problem but just admitted the minor ones. He casted aside all of his own mistakes, and put all the blame on Shi Hao.
Of course, netizens were not fools. Tang MoNing’s apology was not forgiven by everyone, but instead sparked a new round of ridicule.
It’s just that this farce had come to an end.
Tang MoNing was seriously injured in this series of incidents. His brainless fans’ arrogant and domineering behavior indirectly caused him to be terminated from his endorsement cooperations with several high-end brands. The already recorded variety shows directly cut off his parts, even two of the movies that had already been discussed had also slipped through his fingers.
Last month, Tang MoNing was the one that his agency focused on cultivating. All good resources were piled up in front of him, and he was allowed to choose first. But now he had become the target of scorn, and even the newcomers in the company looked down on him.
The person who benefited the most was none other than Zu Qi. Firstly, the successive top trending searches brought a very good publicity effect to his newly opened Taobao store. Secondly, the exposure of the recording content finally broke the rumors of Zu Qi bullying Tang MoNing.
Only then did everyone realize that Zu Qi not only did not use his status as a senior to make things difficult for Tang MoNing, but was actually the victim who was trampled to death by Tang MoNing.
Even the n*de photos of Zu Qi that were circulated last year were deliberately taken and staged by Shi Hao, just to threaten Zu Qi into keeping the filthy relationship between Shi Hao and Chen MeiXin a secret.
Poor Zu Qi was not only tight-lipped, but also gradually faded out of the entertainment industry.
For a time, countless netizens who had cursed Zu Qi flocked to his Weibo and started the topic of “I’m sorry, Zu Qi”.
【I’m sorry, Zu Qi. Sorry. At that time, I was led by the water army and believed their words without thinking. I apologize for scolding you before. qaq】
【People who have never scolded Zu Qi ‘like’ this. 】
【If you ask me, the most wronged among these people are Zu Qi and Xue Jue, right? They never said anything or did anything from the beginning to the end, yet they became the targets of criticism. 】
【The person above is wrong. It’s not that Zu Qi has done nothing. Haven’t you seen that he has been working hard to promote his Taobao store? [Joking][Joking][Joking]】
【So what I am most concerned about is, when will the JingXin YangShen Powder be available? My hair can’t wait anymore…】
【Is there really no one who ships Zu Qi x Xue Jue cp? The traumatized little star quit the entertainment industry and fell into the arms of the domineering CEO. From then on, they live the life of the wealthy husbands who are deeply in love with each other. It’s actually so sweet! 】
…
Zu Qi watched helplessly as the style of writing in the comment area changed from apologizing to urging the release of Jingxin Shenxin powder, to writing a colorful love story between him and Xue Jue. His face was suddenly full of black lines.
After briefly browsing the jokes on the hot comments, Zu Qi forwarded a comment, in which they wrote about him forcing himself on Xue Jue.
【Well written. I’ll reward you with a can of JingXin YangShen powder. Please send me your contact information in a private message. [Smile]】
Then…
The comments below went crazy. Everyone worked harder to write jokes, just to get a can of JingXin YangShen powder, and some people directly bid to buy the winner’s prize.
Perhaps they couldn’t stand the harassment of everyone. It didn’t take long for the winner to directly post on Weibo, saying that they would never give or sell the gift from their new male god.
There was another wailing in the comment area.
Afterwards, Zu Qi specially went to see Steward Zhang and asked him if the video of Shi Hao and Chen MeiXin was arranged by Xue Jue.
Steward Zhang did not give an affirmative or negative answer, but said calmly: “Master is coming back this afternoon, you should ask Master yourself.”
Zu Qi and Steward Zhang had known each other for nearly three months, and given the temperament of this old-fashioned middle-aged man, if Xue Jue hadn’t been behind the scenes, he was afraid Steward Zhang would have denied his question long ago.
Thinking that Xue Jue was still helping him and protecting him when he was abroad, for some reason, Zu Qi suddenly felt a warmth in his heart, which quickly spread to his whole body, making his body feel warm instantly.
At two o’clock in the afternoon, Zu Qi and Steward Zhang went to the airport to pick up Xue Jue.
Zu Qi had difficulty moving due to his big belly, so he had to wait alone in the car.
After browsing Weibo for half an hour, he saw Steward Zhang and Xiao Zhao coming by dragging a few luggage very far away, followed by Xue Jue, who was in a suit and leather shoes, with nothing in his hands.
Zu Qi rarely saw Xue Jue in formal clothes, and unexpectedly, found that he was more handsome and upright than when he was wearing casual clothes. His tall figure was like a clothes rack, fully supporting the aura of the suit, and with his long and straight legs, he walked as if walking the catwalk.
Along the way, Xue Jue attracted the attention of many men and women.
It’s a pity that his expression is too fierce and he exuded an intimidating aura that no strangers should enter. Otherwise, the beautiful women around him would have come up and chatted up long ago.
Zu Qi clicked his tongue, thinking that Xue Jue really was wasting his external resources.
Xiao Zhao and Steward Zhang seemed to have noticed something, and they didn’t dare to get close to Xue Jue at all. So, they quickly stuffed the suitcases into the trunk.
Zu Qi was confused when he saw that, and was about to ask, but he saw that the two of them were sneaking into the two front seats, and then sitting upright, not daring to take a breath.
Zu Qi: “…”
The sound of the car door opening was heard in his ears. Zu Qi turned his head and saw Xue Jue getting in with his long legs expressionless, and with a bang, he slammed the door shut.
After tidying up for a while, Xue Jue raised his head and looked at the back of Xiao Zhao’s trembling head: “Let’s go. Go to the hospital.”
Zu Qi saw Xue Jue’s scowling face from beginning to end, he knew there was something wrong with this grumpy guy. Although he didn’t know the reason for Xue Jue’s temper tantrum, he was not stupid enough to come forward and use himself as a punching bag.
So, the car drove all the way, and Zu Qi quietly played with his phone all the way.
Xue Jue, who was next to him, caught a glimpse of Zu Qi’s relaxed look in the corner of his eye. He was furious and his face became gloomy all the way.
The most pitiable people were the innocent Steward Zhang and Xiao Zhao, who were overwhelmed by the tension in the car, and that their cold sweat dripped down like a waterfall.
About an hour later, the car stopped in front of the gate of a private hospital.
That hospital was opened by Xue Jue’s cousin. It was expensive and only accepted appointments from acquaintances. In other words, it was a hospital that specialized in serving rich and powerful people.
Steward Zhang had brought the original owner here for several examinations before. But this was Zu Qi’s first time here and he was very unfamiliar with everything, including the doctor who examined him.
The doctor was called Cui JunZhuo. He was the director and owner of this private hospital, and he was also Xue Jue’s cousin.
The character Cui JunZhuo was not written in the novel. He should be a character derived after Zu Qi came to this world.
Cui JunZhuo was very tall, about the same height as Xue Jue approximately. He wore a clean white coat. His facial features were very three-dimensional, the corners of his eyes were slightly drooping, the corners of his thin lips were always slightly curved, and the tip of his nose seemed to have a mole, which could not be seen clearly when hidden by rimless glasses.
Judging from appearance alone, Cui JunZhuo was much more likable than his cousin Xue Jue.
Cui JunZhuo was gentle and kind, while Xue Jue was like a moving iceberg. Wherever he went, the icy aura on his body radiated.
“Xiao Qi, long time no see.” Cui JunZhuo narrowed his eyes and smiled, then looked at Xue Jue who was behind Zu Qi with a stern face, “Cousin, you can’t be like this. No matter how busy you are, you have to bring him over to check up regularly.”
Xue Jue was not in a good mood, even the voice was stern: “Ain’t I already here?”
Cui JunZhuo saw the truth at a glance, and when he turned around, he quietly winked at Zu Qi and said, “Have you made Cousin angry again?”
“I didn’t.” Zu Qi quickly waved his hand to deny it. He would not bear the blame. “How dare I make that devil king angry? It’s not enough even if I have nine lives.”
Cui JunZhuo was amused by Zu Qi’s use of adjectives.
After noticing Xue Jue’s death stare, Cui JunZhuo quickly put his fist to his lips and coughed twice, but he could not hide the smile overflowing from the corners of his eyes.
It could be seen that Cui JunZhuo was not only likable in appearance, but also very popular in terms of personality and conduct. On the way to the fetal heart monitoring room, every doctor, nurse and patient he met would say hello to Cui JunZhuo, and Cui JunZhuo also smiled in response.
Zu Qi glanced at Cui JunZhuo, who was smiling like a blooming flower, and then glanced calmly at Xue Jue, whose face was like an iceberg. He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, these cousins were really different from each other.
Fetal heart monitoring needed to wait until the fetus was more than seven months old. It mainly monitors whether the fetal heart rate is normal. Generally speaking, men are not allowed to enter the fetal heart monitoring room.
Although Cui JunZhuo instructed the nurse to clear the venue in advance, and Zu Qi was a man, in order to abide by the rules of the hospital, he still let Xue Jue and others wait outside.
There were only Cui JunZhuo and Zu Qi in the huge room, and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet. Cui JunZhuo turned his back to Zu Qi and fiddled with the instrument, and Zu Qi sat quietly on the chair and waited.
For a while, neither of them spoke, and the surroundings were so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Zu Qi rubbed his arms unaccustomed. He was feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn’t tell where the feeling came from.
At that time, Cui JunZhuo finally got the instrument ready. He was holding two small round iron plates connected with black wires in his hand. He glanced at Zu Qi, who was sitting not far away, and then frowned.
“How many times have you come here for check-up? You still don’t know the rules?” Cui JunZhuo’s tone was very harsh, mixed with strong impatience and disgust.
Zu Qi was stunned when he met Cui JunZhuo’s cold eyes.
If it wasn’t for the emotions in Cui JunZhuo’s eyes that were too real, Zu Qi would have thought that he was seeing things.
Now we have another trash character… Free Zu Qi! He just wants to make money.
