Chapter 583: It’s All Too Messy!

Chen Xiao felt that his understanding of the case had reversed once again.

Before hearing this sentence from Master Liu.

The case should have been like this:

Zhu Nianying, who ran away from her family and came to Shencheng City.

Suffering from hunger and awkwardness in a place unfamiliar to her.

In desperation, she wrote begging words on the city’s overpass bridge.

But she wasn’t begging for a bowl of food to fill her stomach; she was praying for a job that could keep her in Shencheng City for a long time.

Her words and actions in her begging attracted the attention of Huang Zhao.

So the latter took her to his clinic, and after some time getting acquainted, Zhu Nianying began to accept the teachings of Huang Zhao’s medical skills.

Years went by like this.

Perhaps because of the big city’s prosperity, or maybe because more and more rich merchants and celebrities came to meet Huang Zhao by reputation.

Zhu Nianying also got to see many people who were on a completely different level from her.

Those people, or that city, started to change her.

She began to crave establishing herself in the city, yearn for wealth, and desire to become someone influential.

So she started planning how to seize everything from her teacher and take over Huang Zhao’s clinic.

Additionally, she even sold her dignity and body in exchange for wealth she could never have earned before.

Under such circumstances.

If Zhu Nianying really was pregnant with a businessman’s child.

Then would she abort it herself?

No way!

When someone can sell both their dignity and body.

Then everything related to them can be given a price tag!

If there was no child, that would be fine.

If there was a child, it would simply be a golden baby falling from the sky.

Unless the child wasn’t President Zhuang’s.

She worried that the birth of the child might bring hidden dangers to her beautiful life!

But if the child wasn’t President Zhuang’s, why did she have President Zhuang’s driver take her to abort the child?

Surely, the child couldn’t be Old Liu’s, the driver, right?

Suddenly thinking of this possibility, Chen Xiao, holding the phone, was somewhat stunned.

"Master Liu, why did she want you to take her?"

Chen Xiao asked about this matter.

Master Liu sighed and said, "Actually, it wasn’t that she wanted me to go, but I just happened to find out."

"Tell me in detail, what exactly happened at that time?"

"That day, the treatment was actually over, and President Zhuang asked me to drive Dr. Zhu back. But when going downstairs, Dr. Zhu wanted to use the restroom, and on top of that, with her hands carrying things, it wasn’t convenient, so she handed over her handbag to me."

"During this time, Dr. Zhu’s phone kept ringing. I initially didn’t plan on answering it, but I was also afraid it might delay Dr. Zhu’s affairs, so when the phone rang a third time I answered it."

"It was a doctor from a private hospital inside, and as I answered, he directly said that the operating room was already scheduled and the abortion operation could be done at any time."

"Hearing that, I was dumbfounded and hurriedly asked what was going on. Perhaps Dr. Zhu hadn’t reminded them, the person on the other end told me everything. Before I could respond, Dr. Zhu just happened to return and grabbed the phone away."

"Faced with my questioning, although Dr. Zhu was very angry, she also knew she couldn’t hide it. So she told me the truth, and as it happens, the doctor also required a family member to accompany her."

"So under Dr. Zhu’s persistent begging, I pretended to be her family member and agreed not to tell President Zhuang."

Master Liu’s explanation is reasonable.

Many people have sympathy and compassion, or to put it bluntly, a savior complex.

When someone tearfully appeals, one might soften their heart and help round out a lie or cover up something.

It’s just that Chen Xiao always felt that this explanation lacked something.

Perhaps credibility!

The power of making people believe!

Master Liu, as President Zhuang’s driver for many, many years.

His thinking, and even his subconscious actions, would prioritize his boss.

And an illegitimate child isn’t a small matter.

One mistake, Master Liu would bear enormous responsibility!

Thinking this way, Chen Xiao instead found it to be unreasonable.

"Master Liu, didn’t you ever think about telling President Zhuang at that time?"

"I did think about it, but Dr. Zhu begged me, saying she still had many things unfinished, and she didn’t want to be kept as President Zhuang’s canary in a cage."

"She wants to study medicine, to become a famous doctor! But she can’t be hindered by a child!"

"Besides, having followed President Zhuang for so many years, I have some understanding of him. If word got out at that time that he had an illegitimate child outside, for someone who cherished his reputation all his life, it would be a terrible thing!"

"President Zhuang would likely not want that child to come, nor would Dr. Zhu, so helping with this matter didn’t seem to be a sin."

If Master Liu’s previous explanation made Chen Xiao suspicious.

Then what Master Liu said now made Chen Xiao begin to believe it somewhat.

An elderly man in his seventies or eighties, renowned in the business world for many years, should care more about his reputation than many things.

So under such factors, it is reasonable for Master Liu to agree to Zhu Nianying’s request.

Moreover, Zhu Nianying is indeed a woman with ideas.

She likely doesn’t just want to rely on a man to gain social status, but wants to use the financial and authoritative means of successful men to achieve her own goals.

So the unintended birth of a child at that time would indeed be a hindrance to Zhu Nianying.

"Mr. Chen, it was what you just said that led me to tell you all this, otherwise these things I would have kept buried within me forever. But now that you know, I hope you won’t spread this around."

"After all, President Zhuang has already passed, let these matters be buried with him."

Master Liu’s voice came through once more.

Chen Xiao didn’t hesitate, "I certainly won’t spread others’ privacy, you can rest assured about that."

"Alright, do you have anything else? If not, I’ll go attend to other things."

For the moment, Chen Xiao couldn’t find another topic to discuss.

So he could only let it go for now.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xiao crouched at the doorstep of Zhu Nianying’s house holding his phone.

Old Gui came out to find him.

But just as he was about to speak, Chen Xiao raised his hand to stop him:

"Old Gui, I know what I should do. But right now I’m a bit confused, I need to sort it out myself."

Old Gui didn’t understand why after taking a call, Chen Xiao had become muddled.

But as a chauffeur, he just quietly stood by.

Seeing Zhu Nianhong also come out, Old Gui dutifully blocked her back inside.

As time ticked by, Old Gui frowned, seeing no reaction from Chen Xiao.

Until then, Chen Xiao suddenly picked up his phone and dialed another number.

"Hello, dear... I’m confused, I feel like I’m sinking into a quagmire, can you pull me out of it!"
