Vice President Gao went to discuss with Jiang Nan Fang again.
"Engineer Jiang, this is the last game, tug-of-war. We definitely can't win with one person short. I'm sorry to trouble you again, but after this, I'll absolutely let you rest."
Jiang Nan Fang glanced at Zhan Bei Jue, whose expression was unfriendly, and remained where she was.
"Fine, I'll pull. I didn't say I wouldn't cooperate. I'm standing at the back, surely I can choose where I stand."
Zhan Bei Jue was the tallest, so everyone suggested he stand at the front.
Jiang Nan Fang stood at the very end.
He couldn't see her, so he wouldn't have to interact with her anymore. Judging by his expression, they would be separated soon.
It was great.
As the coach gave the signal, both teams began to pull fiercely.
Everyone had a strong sense of collective honor, and their strength was evenly matched.
They pulled and tugged, pulling and tugging, and the stalemate lasted for over a minute without a clear winner.
Finally, Vice President Gao shouted slogans in the middle of the crowd.
"I'll count to three, and everyone pull together with all your might, let's take them down in one go. One, two, three!"
Everyone pulled hard towards their side, and Jiang Nan Fang took a step back with the crowd. The advantage shifted to their side.
Then Vice President Gao shouted again, and everyone seized the momentum, pulling the other side forward by two steps. They won.
However, due to the excessive force, the opponents rushed forward, and they fell backward.
Someone in the team fell, bringing down an entire row with them, and finally crashing onto Jiang Nan Fang.
Everyone was immersed in the joy of victory, laughing on the ground for a while before getting up one by one.
Jiang Nan Fang was at the bottom, crushed, unable to speak.
A sharp pain shot through her abdomen, and cold sweat instantly broke out on her forehead.
The coach pulled the captains of both teams aside to announce the victory.
Everyone was watching the two captains celebrate.
However, there was no trace of a smile on Zhan Bei Jue's face.
Taking advantage of his height, he keenly spotted Jiang Nan Fang lying on the ground.
Her face was pale, and her expression was pained.
It was unclear if it was from the fall or something else, but she looked as uncomfortable as if she were dying.
A victory not shared with anyone held no joy.
Zhan Bei Jue watched Jiang Nan Fang struggle to get up from the ground. She didn't even look at him as she turned and left alone.
He asked Vice President Gao to accept the award.
He had already stayed here long enough for the day. He would not participate in the afternoon activities and planned to leave the camp now.
Jiang Nan Fang, holding her stomach, stumbled towards the public restroom, following the signs.
The pain in her stomach was so severe that, as expected, she was bleeding.
She hadn't prepared anything in her bag, but luckily she had a pack of tissues.
She cleaned herself up and, enduring the discomfort, called Zhou Jin Xiu.
She told him her location and asked if he could come to pick her up. Zhou Jin Xiu agreed.
After the call, she painfully walked out of the restroom, holding her stomach.
As soon as she exited the door, she saw Zhan Bei Jue standing on the cobblestone path, looking in her direction.
Thinking he was also going to the restroom, Jiang Nan Fang made eye contact with him, said nothing, and continued down the steps.
Although she knew her actions were pathetic, like a sycophant.
But after all, she was an employee of Zhan Corporation; he couldn't just watch her get into trouble.
Zhan Bei Jue was the one who spoke first.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Do you need me to take you to the hospital?"
Didn't he say they would never see each other again and that he would make her wish she were dead?
Why was he offering to take her to the hospital now?
Jiang Nan Fang didn't believe he was that kind.
"I'm fine, no need. Thank you."
"Are you sure you're okay?" Zhan Bei Jue looked at the beads of sweat on her forehead.
"Jiang Nan Fang, if you die here, it won't be considered a work-related injury. I won't compensate you a single extra penny."
She knew he wouldn't be so kind.
Always talking about work-related injuries and compensation, this greedy businessman who only saw money!
Jiang Nan Fang couldn't be bothered to look at him again.
"Don't worry, I won't extort money from you even if I die. I, Jiang Nan Fang, am not so poor that I need to beg from you."
With that, she bypassed him and stubbornly went to the lounge alone.
She was in so much pain, yet she refused his kind offer?
That stubborn woman, truly ungrateful!
Did she really expect him to say, "I followed you because I was worried about you"? Dream on!
Besides, she was in so much pain, yet she wasn't leaving. What was she doing in the lounge?
Was she really risking her life for a stupid event?
Zhan Bei Jue was so angry that he gritted his teeth on the spot for a few seconds before following her into the lounge.
"If you want to die, go die outside. Don't linger here."
"You're in so much pain, yet you're not leaving? Aren't you doing this deliberately for me to see?"
The weather was so hot, and she had been running around all morning for your stupid event. Can't I even have a drink of water?
Hearing this, Jiang Nan Fang, furious, crumpled the disposable cup she had just received and threw it on the ground.
"Fine. Since you're so eager for me to die, I'll leave now and go die somewhere you can't see."
"Zhan Bei Jue, stop following me. If I ever step foot on your Zhan family's territory again, I'll change my surname to yours!"
She was in pain, tired, and thirsty.
All the grievances in her heart had nowhere to be vented.
Facing his attitude again, Jiang Nan Fang, unable to help herself, felt tears welling up.
However, she held them back.
Only after leaving the room, in a place where Zhan Bei Jue couldn't see her, did she wipe her tears.
Don't cry! Jiang Nan Fang! It's not worth it for such a scumbag!
Come on, you can do it!
On the weekend, Zhou Jin Xiu happened to be playing in the suburbs, not far from this camp.
Jiang Nan Fang walked out along the road for about ten minutes, and he arrived.
Seeing her pale and drenched in sweat from the pain, Zhou Jin Xiu was startled.
"What's wrong? How did you get yourself into this state? Didn't you say you were having surgery on Monday? Why are you out here?"
Jiang Nan Fang didn't have the strength to explain. She collapsed into his arms.
"Take me to the hospital. I've bled a lot. I can't wait until Monday."
Zhou Jin Xiu looked down and saw that a large patch on her dark green camouflage pants was wet.
"Damn it, you're still training in this condition? Let's go, let's go!"
He carried Jiang Nan Fang to the back seat.
Zhan Bei Jue was driving behind them, watching their interaction clearly.
So good.
Zhou Jin Xiu, daring to touch Zhan Bei Jue's woman.
Daring to compete with Zhan Bei Jue for someone.
You've really grown up.
Zhou Jin Xiu drove to the hospital at full speed and registered Jiang Nan Fang for emergency treatment.
After the doctor's examination, it was found that her progesterone was too low, and she had already miscarried.
"What does low progesterone mean?"
"It means the pregnant woman's body lacks a certain substance, and it's not suitable for carrying the fetus now... have the surgery first, and we'll talk about it afterward."
While Jiang Nan Fang went in for surgery, Zhou Jin Xiu took the opportunity to pay the hospitalization fees and arrange a VIP ward.
He had planned to find a caregiver to help look after her after she came out.
Unexpectedly, before the surgery was even finished, his mother called.
"Ah Jin, where are you now? We have guests at home. Come back."
It was two in the afternoon; what important guests could there be at home? Besides, this was a matter of life and death.
Zhou Jin Xiu said, "Aren't you at home? If there are guests, you can entertain them. I'm busy here and can't leave."
"You don't even ask who it is before saying you can't leave," his mother chided him. "Your second brother is here."
Zhan Bei Jue?
The man who was always busy with his work, why would he suddenly have the time to visit the Zhou family?
