Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 296 It's over, the Great Demon King is back.

Zhong Xue and the Luo family couple were practically grinding their teeth in frustration.

They knew that Old Madam Gu was unreasonable, but they never expected her to be this unreasonable!

Does this old woman even know what's important?

After one hour.

The operating room lights were finally turned off.

The doctor came out and explained the situation: "The mother is safe and will be transferred to a regular ward in half an hour. The baby is a boy, but he was premature and suffered from hypoxia, so he has been transferred to the neonatal intensive care unit for emergency treatment."

Wen Yan breathed a slight sigh of relief. At least Luo Beiqing was not in mortal danger, which was good news!

"I demand that my grandson be transferred to another hospital. Our He family's hospital will find the best pediatrician!" Zhong Xue blocked the doctor's path.

Wen Yan's gaze instantly sharpened, and she naturally knew what Zhong Xue was planning.

Once the baby joins the He family's territory, there's no going back!

Before Wen Yan could speak, Old Madam Gu said, "Xiao Zhong, are you implying that our Gu family's hospital is full of good-for-nothings?"

The doctor immediately said, "Madam, please rest assured. The most authoritative obstetricians and neonatologists in the country are all in our hospital. This was specially arranged by President Gu at the end of last year, with the hospital director going all over the country to recruit them. Originally, it was to prepare for Mrs. Gu and the future baby, so naturally they are all the best."

The doctor also mentioned the names of several authoritative doctors who were in the hospital, including Luo Beiqing's attending physician.

Wen Yan's heart stirred slightly, and the next moment she saw Old Madam Gu looking at her with a smile, tinged with a hint of teasing.

Gu Yanci started preparing so early last year... but he never urged her.

He gave her the greatest freedom in matters of childbearing.

Wen Yan began to dismiss them: "You can come to see Bei Qing and the child another day. I'm injured and it's not convenient for me to entertain you."

entertain?

Is this what you call hospitality?

You're clearly a bully trying to kidnap someone!

The fact that they specifically mentioned "injured" is a veiled reference to someone.

Zhong Xue immediately distanced herself: "Aunt Gu, Yan Yan's injury has nothing to do with us. She closed the door, and when she opened it again, she was already like this! We thought she... she..."

Madam Gu: "Her what?"

"..." Zhong Xue dared not utter the word "miscarriage".

Anyone in the industry who is close to the Gu family or has access to information knows that Old Madam Gu has been hoping for Wen Yan to have a child for many years.

“Aunt Gu, it’s better for Yan Yan to be less active at her age. What if she gets pregnant and keeps getting restless and anxious? This isn’t something I should normally say, but—”

"Why did you say that you shouldn't have?" Old Madam Gu said irritably, her face practically screaming, "Stop cursing my granddaughter-in-law!"

Zhong Xue felt a sense of helplessness, like a scholar encountering a soldier and being unable to reason with him.

The unrelated individuals were eventually driven away by Madam Gu through a series of unfortunate events.

Wen Yan turned into a docile little lamb, looking at Old Madam Gu with pleading eyes: "Grandma..."

"Why didn't you tell the family when you encountered trouble?" It was obvious that Old Madam Gu was angry with Wen Yan; she just had a stern face.

"The situation was urgent at the time, and Gu Yanci was not in the country..."

"If he's not here, am I not here either? If you get bullied, how am I supposed to explain this to Aci when she returns to China?"

"Grandma, I'm sorry..."

"I'm angry, and I don't want to talk to you happily today!" the old lady said seriously.

Wen Yan felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders and breathed a sigh of relief.

The old lady wasn't really holding a grudge against her.

"Thank you, Grandma!" Wen Yan said sweetly, taking Grandma Gu's hand. "Thanks to you for everything today, Grandma. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have been able to handle it! After Bei Qing finishes her confinement, I'll bring her and the baby to thank you!"

Madam Gu snorted.

Madam Gu was not a warm person and did not have much personal relationship with Luo Beiqing. She left Luo Beiqing with some tonics and a bunch of bodyguards and went back to the old house first.

Wen Yan rushed to Luo Beiqing's ward, and just as she arrived at the door, she received a text message from Gu Yanci: [Wait for me at the hospital.]

Wen Yan: "..."

Oh no, the Demon King is back.
