Feast for Shengsheng

Chapter 325 Heartbeat

Nan Sheng thought carefully before speaking word by word: "Can you find out about Xu Anwan's current situation?"

"Xu Anwan? Lu Shiyan's wife?" Jiang Zhilu was stunned for a moment before reacting. "Why are you suddenly interested in this person? The incident between you and her at Xiangshan Temple, her miscarriage and hysterectomy, this should not be a secret anymore."

After all, everyone at the scene heard it, and Nan Sheng knew it very clearly.

"Later, the Xu family took her away from the Lu family and took her to Canada for recuperation. The Lu family didn't refuse." Jiang Zhilu continued, "But you know, the overseas Chinese community is so small, there are no secrets. It is said that she was in critical condition in Canada, bleeding profusely several times, and had been in the hospital the entire time. But there are reports that it was Lu Shiyan's idea. The Xu and Lu families were playing a game of chess. Lu Shiyan couldn't file for divorce because of this matter. It would only lead to gossip, so killing his wife became the best solution."

Jiang Zhilu paused for a moment and said, "Xu Anwan plays a very important role in this matter. Lu Shiyan and Xu Anwan are husband and wife. If anything happens to Xu Anwan, her shares will fall into Lu Shiyan's hands, and the Xu family will be in a passive position at that time."

"..."

"So for the Xu family, Xu Anwan cannot die. This game will last for a long time, and it depends on who is more powerful." Jiang Zhilu told Nan Sheng everything he knew.

Nan Sheng was listening and felt her scalp tingling.

As for Xu Anwan, Nan Sheng had dealt with her too many times in her previous life and knew too well how vicious and cautious she was.

It's not that easy to compromise.

In his previous life, if it weren’t for this accident, Xu Anwan would probably have the last laugh.

"Is the baby in Xu Anwan's belly really gone?" Nan Sheng was silent for a moment before continuing to ask Jiang Zhilu.

"It's definitely gone. Any hospital in Haicheng can prove that." Jiang Zhilu responded without hesitation, "I'm a doctor. In that situation, the child couldn't be saved. Even a god would have died."

Nan Sheng was quiet again.

If the child is gone, then where does the prince game in the gossip come from?

Nan Sheng found herself being fooled again.

"Nan Sheng, what are you thinking about? This matter has nothing to do with you. Neither the Lu family nor the Xu family has implicated you. Besides, my eldest brother has also stepped in. They won't do anything to you if they have any common sense, so don't think about it." Jiang Zhilu thought Nan Sheng was worried, so he was trying to comfort Nan Sheng.

Nan Sheng didn't say anything: "No, I was just reading gossip and suddenly thought of this."

"You've already talked about gossip. Gossip has no gimmicks, so how can it become a hot topic?" Jiang Zhilu said directly.

Nan Sheng hummed but said nothing.

Jiang Zhilu chatted with Nan Sheng for a while, which eased Nan Sheng's tense mood.

"Isn't Song Xiao with you?" Jiang Zhilu suddenly changed the subject.

"Overtime." Nan Sheng responded.

Jiang Zhilu looked up to the sky and sighed, "It's really not easy to be an employee of Zhou's."

Nan Sheng hummed, also serious: "It's really not easy."

The topic of Song Xiao did ease Nan Sheng's mood. Perhaps it was because she had been waiting for too long, so Nan Sheng was really sleepy.

Then Nan Sheng hung up the phone and looked at the time. It was 4 a.m.

However, Song Xiao hasn't come back yet, and Nan Sheng has gotten used to it.

She leaned against the headboard and fell into a deep sleep.

The master bedroom gradually became quiet.

But in her dreams, Nan Sheng's nightmare haunted her like a ghost.

Unlike the clear dreams before, the current dreams seemed dark and gloomy, as if one could not see one's hand in front of one's face.

Nan Sheng was trapped here, unable to move, and couldn't get out no matter how hard she tried.

The pitch-black environment was oppressing Nan Sheng, making it impossible for her to breathe.

Nan Sheng struggled out of the nightmare, supporting herself on the edge of the bed with both hands, gasping for breath.

It wasn't until fresh air filled Nan Sheng's lungs that she gradually calmed down.

"Having a nightmare?" Song Xiao's voice came low, hoarse and tired.

Nan Sheng then looked at Song Xiao, still a little dazed: "You're back? What time is it now?"

"It's still early, less than 7 o'clock in the morning, sleep a little longer." Song Xiao coaxed in a low voice.

Nan Sheng calmed down and looked at Song Xiao. The dark circles under his eyes were very obvious, a sign of fatigue.

Nan Sheng nodded, said nothing, and just put her arms around Song Xiao's waist.

Her face rested on Song Xiao's chest, and listening to his heartbeat, Nan Sheng gradually calmed down.

After all, she hadn't rested for long, and knowing that Song Xiao was working overtime and had just returned, Nan Sheng soon fell asleep again.

This time, Nan Sheng felt safe probably because of Song Xiao's relationship.

That dark and terrifying dream no longer haunted Nan Sheng, and her expression gradually relaxed.

It wasn't until Nan Sheng opened her eyes again that she realized it was already noon.

Song Xiao was no longer on the big bed.

Nan Sheng was stunned for a moment, then jumped up and ran downstairs without even putting on his coat.

Nan Sheng found Song Xiao in the kitchen.

Song Xiao was cooking when he heard the noise and the aroma of food came.

His eyes fell on Nan Sheng: "Why aren't you wearing shoes?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Xiao walked towards Nan Sheng, picked her up sideways and put her on the chair.

"I'll go get the shoes." Song Xiao coaxed in a low voice, very gently.

Nan Sheng didn't respond, but looking at Song Xiao, Nan Sheng felt at ease.

She probably felt that only when this person was within her sight could she feel relaxed.

Nan Sheng just supported her chin and watched Song Xiao walk over with slippers, her eyes fixed on Song Xiao.

Song Xiao shook his head helplessly: "Next time, you are not allowed to go without slippers. The weather is getting colder now. You will catch a cold. If you catch a cold, you will have a long tail, which is very troublesome."

"How do you know? I haven't been sick since I was with you. I'm a healthy baby!" Nan Sheng snorted.

Song Xiao was very quiet.

In the previous life, before Nan Sheng encountered such a drastic change, she was indeed a healthy baby.

Since she started to get entangled with Lu Shiyan, Nan Sheng has been playing with her body. After a long time, no one can bear it.

So whenever Nan Sheng is sick, she will be in pain for a long time.

But on this point, Song Xiao did not argue with Nan Sheng.

Nan Sheng didn't think much about it.

Then Nan Sheng saw Song Xiao half squatting down and passing the slippers to his feet, not caring at all whether doing so would damage his chauvinism.

"It will be ready soon, wait here." Song Xiao coaxed in a low voice.

"Let me do it." Nan Sheng was about to stand up.

But the next moment, Song Xiao pushed her back down and made her sit on the stool obediently.
