午夜的女人

“..”Zhang Luoya looked at Li Menting in disbelief.” Mom, you mean…” Let Xia Jinzhi off just like that and let my child be sacrificed so innocently?”

“No, Roya, listen to me…” Li Menting wanted to explain.

Zhang Luoya pursed her lips and flung Li Menting¹ s hand away. Her face was full of pain and unwillingness, but she suddenly smiled strangely.” Oh, I know. So, in your eyes, Family Jing’s reputation is the most important. A dead daughter-in-law is more important than me, right?””

Hearing this, Li Menting’s expression changed.

Behind him, Jing Shaofan was frowning. The two lines on his face were cold and serious.

“I understand.” Zhang Luoya lowered her head and said in a low voice,” I’m tired. I want to sleep for a while.”

As she said that, she lay down calmly and pulled the blanket over her body, closing her eyes.

Li Menting looked at Zhang Luoya’s pale face and sighed.

She got up from the bed gently and pulled Li Muchen who was beside her. She pointed at the small house and walked over.

After the door was closed, Li Menting said with a headache,” Ah Chen, don’t blame Luoya. She suddenly lost her child. She must be more upset than us. She won’t be able to get over it for a while.” How about this, you stay here with her for the next few days. If you have a job, bring it here. When she’s fully recovered and can be discharged, you can go back to work in the company. I’ll let your grandfather know when I get back.”

“Alright, I understand.” Li Muchen said.

“Sigh.” Jing Shaofan sighed and said,” A heart disease must be treated with medicine. Ah Chen, if Raya is in a bad mood and throws a tantrum at you, you should be more tolerant and empathize with her, okay?”

“Dad, don’t worry. I know what to do.”Li Muchen promised.

The two old men nodded, but their faces were still clouded with worry.

In the next two days, Zhang Luoya seemed to have accepted the fact that her child was gone. She ate and slept on time every day and actively cooperated with the doctor’s examination and treatment.

By Friday, she was able to get out of bed and walk around.

The nurse put a coat on her and stood by the window with her, looking at the desolate street scenery outside in the winter.

Behind him, Li Muchen was sitting on the sofa in the living room in a video conference. He had a serious expression on his face and his eyes were focused. Occasionally, he would raise some questions or opinions about the statements made by his subordinates.

When Li Muchen was at work, he had the temperament of a strategist and had the steady and reserved charm of a mature man.

If it was in the past, Zhang Luoya might have been moved by it. However, at this moment, the more she looked at it, the more painful it was.

Because this man seemed to have never belonged to her.

Even though Wu Xiwen had been dead for more than five years, she still held the most important place in Li Muchen’s heart.

She had once thought that there was no need to fight for a position with a dead man. However, she finally understood that it was precisely because Wu Xiwen was dead that she could not fight for it. She could not fight at all. She had already lost this battle between women before it even started.

Zhang Luoya reached out and touched her flat stomach. Her eyes were filled with sharp and deep pain.

Li Muchen’s video conference finally ended.
