Chapter 112: Chapter 112: Their Relationship Should Be As Incompatible As Water and Fire

"Zhiwei, you don’t understand the situation between your sister and me, but I assure you, I have never wronged her." Gao Wei pushed his glasses, a calculating light flickering behind the lenses.

Xiao Ru is gone, he could start looking for another woman, but this time, he had to pin the blame on Cheng Zhiyin and make himself out as the victim.

After all, after a high promotion, finding another woman would be easy.

Cheng Zhiwei sneered, "You haven’t wronged her? Then explain the house you bought for Xiao Ru. Are you claiming it’s fake?"

Exposed, Gao Wei showed no sign of panic, instead breaking into a smile, "Zhiwei, you’re biased against me. I won’t hold it against you. I’ll talk with your sister once she’s out."

He wouldn’t be foolish enough to reveal his unease.

Cheng Zhiwei laughed mockingly, "The words your mother just said, I’ve recorded them on my phone. This recording can prove your infidelity, and even if it can’t, it’s enough to involve you in an investigation. Do you think you’ll still get promoted?"

Gao Wei’s gaze turned instantly grim as he walked towards Cheng Zhiwei, "I am still, after all, your brother-in-law. Aren’t you being a little too much?"

Cheng Zhiwei stepped back, "Brother-in-law? Do you even deserve the title?"

Furious, Gao Wei reached out to grab Cheng Zhiwei violently, "Don’t push your luck."

He grabbed Cheng Zhiwei’s hand, attempting to search for her phone.

But as soon as his hand touched Cheng Zhiwei, someone grabbed his collar fiercely and flung him aside. Meng Qiancheng shielded Cheng Zhiwei and reprimanded sternly, "This is a hospital, what are you doing?"

"Doctor Meng." Gao Wei stepped back, greeting with a smile, "I was just joking with Zhiwei."

Meng Qiancheng turned to Cheng Zhiwei, "Are you all right?"

Cheng Zhiwei shook her head, "I’m fine, thank you."

Meng Qiancheng nodded, frowning coldly, "This is a hospital, not a place for you to behave recklessly, Mr. Gao. Show some respect."

"Cheng Zhiwei, flirting with another man right in front of everyone, does your husband know about this?" Mother Gao crossed her arms, her plump face filled with excitement as if she had caught Cheng Zhiwei in a major misdeed.

Meng Qiancheng retorted, "What nonsense are you spouting?"

Mother Gao gloated, "Doctor Meng is so concerned; your relationship must be quite special. I’ve heard Doctor Meng stayed at the Cheng family’s house. Surely you haven’t been involved for a while now."

"You..." Meng Qiancheng raged.

"Brother Qiancheng, don’t get angry with such people," Cheng Zhiwei pulled at Meng Qiancheng, her voice calm, showing that Mother Gao’s words had no effect on her, "Her words are baseless and slanderous, but I have evidence of her son’s infidelity, which is a fact."

Mother Gao was furious, "My son is honest and upright, he has never been unfaithful. Cheng Zhiwei, stop making false accusations. Clearly, it’s your sister who can’t ’lay eggs,’ bringing nothing but harm."

"Really, how noisy." A detached voice came from down the hall.

Cheng Zhiwei looked up and saw Zhou Lin in his impeccably tailored suit, his tall and upright stature exuding an innate aristocracy.

Upon recognizing Zhou Lin, Mother Gao immediately shot a triumphant glance at Cheng Zhiwei, approaching him with self-satisfaction, "Young Master Zhou, you’ve come at just the right time. Look at Cheng Zhiwei and that Doctor Meng, all over each other. Their relationship is definitely not simple."

Zhou Lin’s indifferent gaze swept over Mother Gao, "And you are?"

Mother Gao was instantly embarrassed, "I am..."

Before she could finish, Zhou Lin had already bypassed her, moving to Cheng Zhiwei’s side with a gentle tone, "How is sister doing?"

A surge of vulnerability welled up within her, but as soon as it appeared, Cheng Zhiwei suppressed it, annoyed with herself for feeling so fragile, and thus remained silent.

Meng Qiancheng scoffed, "Young President Zhou is so busy, how do you find the time to concern yourself with the Cheng family’s scandals?"

How ironic.

Zhou Lin didn’t even glance at him. He reached out, pulled Cheng Zhiwei to his side, and with a large palm moved down from her wrist, gripping her slightly cool fingers. He soothed her in a gentle voice, "Don’t be afraid, sister will be fine."

Meng Qiancheng’s eyes flickered with surprise as he looked at Zhou Lin, then turned to Cheng Zhiwei. If he remembered correctly, their relationship was supposed to be as incompatible as water and fire. Why had Zhou Lin’s attitude suddenly become so good?

Cheng Zhiwei struggled lightly but couldn’t break free, so she let Zhou Lin lead her, without allowing her gaze to rest on him for a moment. Her tone was indifferent, "I know."

During their conversation, the sound of noisy footsteps echoed through the corridor. Secretary Zhang explained to Cheng Zhiwei, "Young President Zhou has brought over the best obstetricians. It will certainly be alright."

Cheng Zhiwei’s calm eyes finally showed a ripple of emotion, her voice quivering slightly, "Really?"

As they got closer, indeed, the best obstetricians in the city were there; even one Cheng Zhiwei had seen on television. They nodded to Zhou Lin and entered the operating room.

Cheng Zhiwei’s emotions suddenly became complex, but still, she murmured her thanks, "Thank you."

"Have a seat for a while." Zhou Lin, guiding Cheng Zhiwei to sit down, spoke in a tone that wasn’t particularly tender, but his every move was considerate.

Cheng Zhiwei obediently sat down, anxiously watching the operating room. She hoped the child could be saved, as it was something her sister had longed for. Even if it was not wanted, it shouldn’t end so unclearly.

She was so focused on the situation in the operating room that she didn’t notice Meng Qiancheng’s increasingly ugly expression.

Meng Qiancheng clenched his fists, his gaze icy. He could never have imagined seeing Cheng Zhiwei and Zhou Lin getting along so harmoniously.

Shouldn’t they be deeply loathing each other at this moment?

Or at least be indifferent to each other.

Anyway, they shouldn’t be sitting shoulder to shoulder as they were now.

It was as if nothing had ever happened.

Next to them, Gao Wei and Mother Gao exchanged glances, each seeing a hint of surprise in the other’s eyes.

The poor relationship between the youngest daughter and son-in-law of the Cheng family was no secret.

This was also the reason for their fearlessness.

But now, if Zhou Lin sided with the Cheng family, they would be in big trouble.

But they couldn’t act rashly right now.

After more than half an hour passed, the door to the operating room opened, and a doctor removed his mask, saying, "The patient did suffer severe blood loss, but we managed to save her."

"How is that possible?" Mother Gao cried out in disbelief, glaring fiercely at the doctor.

When they had first arrived at the operating room, the doctor had said that the pregnant woman was bleeding heavily and her life was in danger. They had the hospital inform Cheng Zhiwei just so as not to leave physical evidence behind.

Yet Cheng Zhiyin hadn’t died in there.

Cheng Zhiwei jumped to her feet. "What, are you still hoping for my sister to be in trouble?"

"Zhiwei, that’s not what my mom meant, she’s happy, happy," Gao Wei quickly intervened to smooth things over, shooting a look at Mother Gao.

Understanding his hint, Mother Gao forced a smile, "I am happy. It’s truly great that Zhiyin is fine, I couldn’t be more delighted."

Cheng Zhiwei couldn’t be bothered with them and as soon as Cheng Zhiyin came out, she immediately followed her into the ward.

She had decided, from this moment on, to stay by Cheng Zhiyin’s side every step of the way, giving the Gao family mother and son no further chance to harm Cheng Zhiyin.
