A Billion Dollar Exchange-Chapter 249: Killed his own Child

Liu Wei nodded and he kept the tablet aside so they could eat.

Liling adjusted on her seat and began to slice the scotch eggs into halves, she poured the mustard-mayo dipping sauce on the plates before serving them both.

''Baby, did I tell you about the feud between me and Yan Ran?''

Liling asked when they started eating. Liu Wei looked up at her with a frown.

''Who's Yan Ran?''

''Don't tell me you don't know the name of your personal help, who had worked with you for over four years! ''

Liling exclaimed unbelievably, her eyes widened in surprise.

Liu Wei's frown lessened and he resumed eating nonchalantly.

''Is that her name? ''

''Yes! You should get to know your workers more personally; it's a shame to hear that you don't know the name of someone you've worked with for years! ''

Liling scolded jokingly, she drank from her cup of milk, her eyes still on Liu Wei, who was still eating indifferently,

''Okay, I'll keep that in mind, so you were asking?''

''Yeah, so how did you see her? ''

Liu Wei looked up at Liling shiftily; he wondered why she was asking all of a sudden.

''I did not 'see' her, but given that she was not sacked, I bet she did her work properly. ''

Liu Wei clarified; Liling giggled seeing that he didn't want her thinking that something went on between the two of them.

''Okay. ''

''Why do you ask? ''

''Well, since I took over her job, she loathed me. Then, I wondered why she would hate me so much, until I got to know that she liked you. ''

Liu Wei stopped eating; he raised his eyes to stare at her, surprised.

''And you know that incident with your Dad and Miss Da Xia? ''

''Mmm…''

''She was the one who gave me the coffee to go serve, which means she had added the salt intentionally, so I could get scolded and maybe lose my job.''

At this point Liu Wei's brows creased into a frown.

''And you did not tell me all these while?''

He asked, seemingly annoyed that she kept something like that from him.

Liling groaned girlishly;

''We were not this close then and besides I wouldn't even tell you because I'm sure you would sack her.''

''So what makes you think I would not sack her now?''

Liu Wei asked, raising a brow. He was already visibly irked by the revelation. Liling pouted and reached out to touch his cheeks.

''Well, because she asked me to forgive her and we are friends now, but most importantly, because you love me and you wouldn't do anything to hurt me.''

She smirked as she continued to tease him gently on the cheeks.

Liu Wei, who had been annoyed a moment ago, couldn't keep it up any longer. He seized her hand and bit on one of her fingers.

''You sure know how to tie my hands, do you know that?''

''Too bad, I can't help it! ''

'''But really, I don't like the sound of that.''

Liu Wei continued worriedly. Someone who went to the extent of adding salt to coffee was up-to no good.

''What sound? Come on, she said she was sorry and she meant it, really!. ''

Liling pouted, Liu Wei did not speak for a while.

''Baby? ''

She whined.

''Alright, alright, if you say so, can we eat now? ''

He finally gave in, making Liling smile brightly.

''Yeah, we can eat now. ''

…

Jin Yue sat in his car staring at a local hospital building in a quiet street. It was quite late in the night and only a few people could be seen walking in and out of the hospital building.

He had woken up the previous day, to a buzzing phone and a banging head. He pulled the phone from his pocket and realized that it was an email, thinking it was from the company, he tossed the phone aside and dragged himself off the bed.

After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, he picked his phone again. This time, there was a text from Liu Wei telling him to go check his email.

He curiously clicked on his email and opened his inbox, clicking on the recent message.

He felt his heart skip a beat as he read the details of the message Liu Wei sent to him. Although he wanted to meet her soon, he prayed earnestly for that person to not be her.

Commit suicide?

Lost a child?

Jin Yue felt his heart banging against his chest frantically; the hand he held the phone with grew sweaty.

They had always used protections, and even when they weren't using, she would take birth control…

Jin Yue's eyes widened as he realized something.

That night before he left her, they didn't use any.

The thought of her losing a child_ their child, haunted Jin Yue to the very bones. He earnestly prayed that it was not true, to think that he had caused the death of his own child!

Although he didn't want to believe, that was the only lead they had gotten after a long while and he was not about to let it slide. He quickly called Liu Wei to thank him, picked his keys and raced out of the house.

When he reached his garage, he discovered that he had left his car at the bar the previous night.

Rushing back in, he took keys to another car and drove out of the compound. Jin Yue had not been to Sanji before, so he used his GPS router for guidance. He was on the road for good 17 hours, only stopping to get something to eat or refueling his tank. 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼ｍ

When he finally reached Sanji, he was exhausted but the thought that he was finally going to see Xin Yong gave him strength. He knew the exact hospital from the details sent to him by Liu Wei, and following the directions on the GPS, he got there.

It was quite late in the night, at around 2am, when he arrived. He parked his car in a secluded corner and stared at the hospital building, lost in thought.
