Chapter 712: 0702 Nonsensically blabbering the truth

Hearing Ye Zhichen’s words, without a second thought, Su Ran knew what the two had decided on.

Her face coldly set, she stared at Chi Mu and said with a heavy voice,

“Chi Mu, do you truly not want this child?”

As she spoke, Su Ran couldn’t help but feel the urge to rush at him with a steel pipe again.

Ye Zhichen quickly grabbed her hand and said indifferently,

“Xiao Ran, this is for the best. You know, I never planned to keep this child.”

Su Ran held onto Ye Zhichen’s icy hand, feeling how her whole body was trembling, and felt a twinge of heartache.

As a mother, who could truly bear to not want their own child?

But now…

Perhaps, this outcome was indeed the best for Zhichen.

Su Ran sighed softly in her heart and said no more, handing over the completed surgery form to Ye Zhichen.

Chi Mu’s gaze deepened as he stared intently at Ye Zhichen.

Ye Zhichen took the surgery form, turned, and walked into the lobby to hand it to the nurse at the front desk.

“Please take a seat over there and wait; we will call your name when it’s your turn,” the nurse said.

Ye Zhichen nodded, “Okay, thank you!”

After doing all this and turning back to speak with Su Ran, Ye Zhichen realized Chi Mu was still standing there without leaving.

Ye Zhichen’s expression turned cold as she said,

“President Chi, you’re not leaving? What? Planning to personally stay and supervise my abortion?”

Chi Mu’s face turned black with rage as he glared at Ye Zhichen.

This damn woman!

Ye Zhichen scoffed, “Relax, I won’t cause you any trouble. You can leave now!”

Chi Mu’s face grew even uglier, but Ye Zhichen paid him no attention as she pulled Su Ran to sit down on the chairs in the lobby.

Su Ran sporadically tried to make conversation with Ye Zhichen, but Zhichen’s expression was distant throughout, only absentmindedly responding.

There weren’t many people having surgery, so after about ten minutes, the nurse’s voice was heard.

“Next, Ye Zhichen, it’s your turn!”

Ye Zhichen’s body shook violently, and she looked up in a panic.

Seeing the nurse in front of her was like seeing something terrifying.

Ultimately, she couldn’t help but look desperately for salvation in Chi Mu’s direction.

However, the man stood to one side, straight-backed against the wall, eyes cast down, not saying a word.

Ye Zhichen’s eyes lost the last bit of light as her whole person became filled with despair.

She stood up dazedly and followed the nurse to the entrance of the operating room, heedlessly taking off her shoes and coat as instructed, like a puppet on strings.

Chi Mu leaned against the wall, his expression tense, his hands balled into fists in his pockets.

Just as Ye Zhichen was about to enter the operating room–

“Wait!!”

A voice, full of authority, sounded from the doorway.

Chi Mu’s brow twitched as all three looked up to see a group of people entering the spacious lobby, which suddenly seemed cramped by their commanding presence.

“Zhichen, what in the world are you doing?”

“Daughter-in-law, don’t be afraid, mom and dad are here to protect you.”

“If you dare harm a hair on my grandson, see if I don’t tear this hospital down!”

“…”

“…”

Faced with this sudden turn of events, Ye Zhichen and Su Ran were both bewildered.

Chi Mu, however, slowly closed his eyes, a trace of resignation appearing on his handsome face, and his tightly clenched fists gradually relaxed.

The three of them were familiar with the newcomers.

Chi Mu’s parents and Ye Zhichen’s parents!

Su Ran watched the four for a while, contemplation flickering in her starry eyes.

Finally, a nearly imperceptible gleam of light emerged as she walked over to the operating room, pulling Ye Zhichen aside.

Ye Zhichen stood silently to one side, quietly watching the four elders surround Chi Mu, with Father Chi looking particularly displeased.

His authoritative face filled with anger, he said, “I knew you were keeping something from the family. You must have the nerve of a bear and leopard to dare threaten my grandson.”

Chi Mu’s brows were heavy with a gloomy chill.

“This was a decision between her and me.”

Father Chi’s face immediately darkened, and his tone turned colder.

“Was it your decision, or did you coerce Zhichen into it!”

Chi Mu’s face remained grim, offering no response.

Seeing his attitude only deepened Father Chi’s anger.

“Don’t think for a second that I don’t know what you’re scheming. In this lifetime, the Chi Family will only have Zhichen for a daughter-in-law. You’d better remember that!”

A severe frown creased Chi Mu’s brow, his face becoming as frosty as if enveloped in hoarfrost.

The atmosphere at the scene had clearly hit a freezing point!

With the intervention of both sets of parents, the surgery naturally couldn’t proceed.

Ye Zhichen was also taken home by her parents.

After a long hassle, when they left the hospital, it was already the afternoon.

Su Ran was no longer in the mood for work and headed straight for Platinum Lanting.

Once home, she burrowed into her bedroom. Thinking of the banquet Fu Qiyuan mentioned, her eyes began to twinkle with the light of stars.

Only when the sun set beyond the mountains did Su Ran come downstairs, and then she dived into the kitchen.

Everyone could tell her mood was off, her icy aura was so daunting it made people want to steer clear.

In the dining room, amidst the occasional “clang, clang, clang” from the kitchen, curve and Mengmeng clung to each other, terrified.

Swallowing nervously.

“Miss Xiao Ran is so scary…”

“Is she chopping something?”

“Rather than chopping something, I think Miss Xiao Ran would rather be chopping a person right now!”

“Could it be, did she have a fight with the Eldest Young Master?”

“No way, with how the Eldest Young Master is so henpecked, would he dare to argue with Miss Xiao Ran?”

Everyone else: “…”

Who asked you to speak such brutal truth!

But apart from this, they couldn’t think of any other reason.

And at that moment, a “whoosh whoosh” sound came from the kitchen.

Everyone’s eyes widened in even greater terror!

“Is that… the sound of sharpening knives?”

“Miss Xiao Ran doesn’t really want to kill someone, does she?”

“Impossible, Miss Xiao Ran is usually so gentle; how could she do something so cruel?”

“Aunt Sun, why don’t you go check?”

Aunt Sun was everyone’s pillar in normal times, and at this moment, she was the first person they thought of.

Aunt Sun’s lips twitched almost imperceptibly as she said emotionlessly:

“What Miss Xiao Ran needs right now is quiet, we shouldn’t disturb her.”

“Aunt Zhang, why don’t you take a look?”

Then, someone else shifted their gaze to Aunt Zhang.

“Yeah, Aunt Zhang, you’ve been with the Su Family for so many years, you watched Miss Xiao Ran grow up, you must understand her better than anyone.”

Aunt Zhang’s eyelids twitched, and she forced a smile, “I think what Aunt Sun said makes sense.”

Everyone: “…”

So, no one dared to enter the kitchen, all of them just stood in the dining room looking at each other.

At that time, Su Ran’s faint voice could be heard from the kitchen–

“This one is too dull…”

“This one doesn’t feel right in my hand…”

Could it be that their lives would end here today?

Everyone trembled violently, for the first time missing the Eldest Young Master terribly!

Perhaps heaven sensed their cries for help; at that moment, the sound of the villa’s door being unlocked came, a single “beep”.

It was the sound of the keycode being entered!

Soon after, they heard Fu Qixiu’s voice, as melodious as an angel’s yet raspy like a duck’s–
