Qi Ruixi was a bit surprised.
She thought Xu Tingyu didn't care about such things at all. After all, she had never seen her make a fuss.
She had grown up among women since childhood and was good at reading people's expressions. Now she carefully glanced at Xu Tingyu's face again.
She saw that Xu Tingyu was looking down at the menu, and her expression was unclear.
"Sister-in-law, you and my brother..."
She didn't know how to continue, and her voice became nervous and hesitant.
However, Xu Tingyu seemed like nothing had happened and easily glossed over it. "It's okay. I understand. It's just for show."
There was no way to respond to this.
Especially for someone like Qi Ruixi, no matter what she said would be inappropriate.
Xu Tingyu didn't seem to really care either. After ordering the dishes, she casually asked as if just remembering.
"By the way, how's Xie Shu? I haven't heard from her for a long time."
Xie Shu had completely withdrawn from the entertainment circle.
After getting the phone that Chen Chunyao bought for her, she had also secretly searched online for information about Xie Shu's car accident.
But there was no trace at all.
Since withdrawing from the circle, this person seemed to have disappeared, and there were no clues online.
As soon as Qi Ruixi heard this name, she got excited like a person injected with adrenaline and let out a laugh. "This woman, it's really satisfying."
"At that time, she was sent abroad by Xie Yu, saying that she was going for acting further studies, but actually she didn't know which third - rate university she went to."
"As a result, not long after she went abroad, she started hanging out with a bunch of messy people. She drank at night and went drag - racing."
"Then of course God wouldn't side with such a self - destructive person. Seeing her looking for trouble, God just let her have it. She had a car accident."
"The car was bought on an installment - plan, and the money hadn't been paid off yet. It was completely smashed. She injured her internal organs and almost died."
"But this evil person has a long life. She actually found a heart donor in time, and the transplant was successful. It's really frustrating."
Qi Ruixi was gesturing vividly as she spoke.
It was obvious that she really disliked the Xie Yu family, so even when talking about these things, there was personal emotion in her words.
But Xu Tingyu felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
She had originally thought that maybe what the nurses said was false.
Xie Shu wasn't that important to Qi Shifeng. At least, she wasn't important enough for someone else to lose their life to save her.
Rumors were just passed on one by one and got distorted.
But now, Qi Ruixi had confirmed that the fact that Xie Shu had a car accident and was on the verge of death was true.
Xie Shu had a heart transplant.
Xu Jia died on the operating table.
There couldn't be such a coincidence.
She felt extremely uncomfortable, as if there were waves churning in her stomach.
She really wanted to ask Qi Shifeng. When he killed Xu Jia and took his heart, who was he thinking about?
Was he thinking that Xie Yu wouldn't lose her sister, or was he thinking that she, Xu Tingyu, would lose her younger brother?
He couldn't bear to see Xie Yu sad, so he took her brother's life in exchange, right?
Xu Tingyu tightly held the cup, and her face looked extremely pale.
Qi Ruixi soon noticed this and immediately sat over. "Sister - in - law, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
She couldn't say a word.
In the steaming hot air from the hot pot, she looked like she had been fished out of the water.
Qi Ruixi was scared and quickly shouted for Zou Yu outside.
"Come in quickly. My sister - in - law is not feeling well. Hurry up and send her back to the hospital."
She felt both regretful and nervous.
She should have listened to her second brother and not taken her sister - in - law out casually.
After her sister - in - law got pregnant, she had suffered one blow after another. This pregnancy had been very difficult, and she needed to be taken care of very carefully.
What if something happened to her because of her now?
Thinking of this, Qi Ruixi was so scared that tears welled up in her eyes.
Fortunately, there was Zou Yu.
He was very calm. He rushed in and saw that Xu Tingyu's face had turned completely white. Without hesitation, he picked her up in a princess carry and rushed outside.
Then he drove at high speed all the way and safely sent her to the hospital.
Qi Ruixi, who had followed, was so scared that she kept crying. She quickly called Qi Shifeng.
"Brother, come quickly. What should I do? Sister - in - law seems very uncomfortable."
On the other end of the phone, it was Jiang Li who answered.
Hearing that Xu Tingyu was uncomfortable, Jiang Li was also very nervous. "Miss, Mr. Qi is in a meeting. Today's meeting is very important. Where is Mrs. Qi now?"
"She's already been sent to the hospital. Hurry up and inform my brother to come. No matter how important the meeting is, is it more important than my sister - in - law? Is it more important than my nephew?"
Qi Ruixi was almost swearing.
It was such a critical moment, and he was still having a meeting.
Jiang Li didn't dare to delay and said, "I'll go in and inform Mr. Qi right now."
After hanging up the phone, Qi Ruixi felt a little more at ease.
It's okay. As long as her second brother came, her sister - in - law would surely be okay.
Her second brother was like the pillar of the family. When he came to the hospital, he would surely calm things down for her sister - in - law.
She was thinking randomly and pacing anxiously outside the examination room.
But soon, the doctor suddenly came out.
"The patient's amniotic fluid has broken. She has to give birth prematurely. Where are her previous prenatal check - up records? Hurry up and bring them here."
Xu Tingyu still had more than three weeks until her due date, but now her amniotic fluid had broken.
Qi Ruixi was still just a young girl. She was extremely scared and was sobbing uncontrollably.
"What should I do? I don't know what to do. Zou Yu, what should we do?"
Zou Yu was much calmer.
When he heard that the baby was going to be born prematurely, he frowned slightly, but soon he called the people at the sanitarium.
"Bring all of Miss Xu's prenatal check - up records. Also, send the doctor who has been taking care of Miss Xu to the hospital."
This hospital was the closest to the hot - pot restaurant. At that time, the situation was urgent, and they didn't have time to think about other things.
After Zou Yu hung up the phone, Qi Ruixi picked up her phone and called Qi Shifeng again.
But this time, for some reason, no one answered.
She was not willing to give up. She called again and again, but the result was always the same.
Finally, she could only send a message to Qi Shifeng: Sister - in - law's amniotic fluid has broken. Hurry up and come to the hospital.
But the message was sent, and there was no response.
She was extremely panicked, and her hands couldn't stop trembling. Accidentally, she opened a media account.
Just as she was about to exit, she saw the hot - search list. Her brother's name was once again linked with Xie Yu and appeared there.
"Famous dancer Xie Yu's condition has deteriorated, attracting Mr. Chen and Mr. Qi to compete for her favor."
This time, there were even photos.
In the photos, Chen Yan and Qi Shifeng appeared in the ward one after another.
Qi Ruixi suddenly felt like laughing.
What meeting, what importance.
It was all nonsense. Her second brother was really hopeless. He was really blind.
Angrily, she threw her phone into her bag and rushed towards the doctor.
"Please, you must ensure the safety of my sister - in - law and the baby. No matter how much it costs."
Her sister - in - law was so pitiful. There was no one on her side. She must protect her sister - in - law's safety.
But the doctor took out an agreement. "Are you the patient's family member? We're about to take the pregnant woman in. You should sign this first."
This was originally the husband's job.
But now Qi Shifeng was still competing for another woman's favor. She, as the younger sister - in - law, had to sign.
Qi Ruixi didn't decline, but when she was signing, her hands just couldn't stop trembling.
