The Temptation of CEO's Pregnant Ex-Wife-Chapter 105: Cheng Zhiwei’s life is too unlucky

Chapter 105: Chapter 105: Cheng Zhiwei’s life is too unlucky

Meng Qiancheng didn’t really like Xu Tian; she always dressed flamboyantly and provocatively, flaunting her pale legs even though it was already autumn. In Meng Qiancheng’s eyes, such a woman must lead a very colorful romantic life.

That’s why he asked unpleasantly, "What are you doing here?"

Xu Tian stood protectively in front of Cheng Zhiwei’s hospital bed, her words sharp as a knife, "Zhiwei has gone through something terrible; it’s time for her to rest. And here you are, rubbing salt into her wounds. Are you freaking stupid?"

"You..."

"What about me? Can’t you wait until she feels better to talk? Do you have to pressure her now? Do you want to send her into depression? Get out; you’re not welcome here."

"Xu Tian, don’t spout nonsense. I’m concerned about her."

"It’s none of your business how she feels about Zhou Lin. Instead of babbling here, you might as well take revenge for her. Look at you, flaunting your capability by picking at her wounds. How are you any different from that scumbag Zhou Lin?"

Meng Qiancheng was furious, but when he turned and saw the tears in Cheng Zhiwei’s eyes, he immediately came to his senses. Apologetically and with some remorse, he said, "I’m sorry, but Weiwei, I said those things because I’m worried about you. Don’t be angry; you know I don’t want to hurt you."

"Get lost." Xu Tian glared at him with disgust. "Don’t disturb Zhiwei’s rest."

Meng Qiancheng stood silently for a while before letting out a sigh as if giving up, "Then you get some rest. I’ll come see you when I have time."

"Also," Xu Tian warned coldly, "don’t tell her parents about this without her permission, or she might end up hating you."

Meng Qiancheng glanced at Xu Tian indifferently before turning and walking away.

"Dumbass." Xu Tian cursed under her breath before turning to see how Cheng Zhiwei was doing. Without asking anything, she crossed her arms and said firmly, "Go to sleep. I’m here with you. I’ll beat up anybody who dares to bother you."

Cheng Zhiwei’s tense nerves relaxed, and the emotions that were threatening to explode within her gradually subsided. Without opening her eyes, she fell asleep just like that.

Lin Yu pulled Xu Tian outside and gave her a thumbs up, relieved, "I’m glad you came. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know how to stop him."

Speaking of which, she felt guilty about Cheng Zhiwei’s situation. So when Meng Qiancheng said he wanted to take Cheng Zhiwei away, she really couldn’t find an excuse to object. Even though she was sure he wouldn’t be able to take her, it would still cause a scene, and in the end, Cheng Zhiwei would be the one getting hurt.

Xu Tian boldly admitted, "Secretary Zhang called and told me. I’ve been busy recently and hadn’t been in touch with Zhiwei. How could such a thing have happened?"

Lin Yu sighed sorrowfully, "It’s my fault for not taking good care of her, blame me."

Xu Tian nodded, "Don’t worry, I’ll take care of her. She’ll get better."

"Thank you for your hard work," Lin Yu said gratefully.

She had wanted to stay and take care of Cheng Zhiwei, but she also knew she could only fulfill the duty of care. Cheng Zhiwei wouldn’t open up to her, and she might not even allow herself to cry in her presence.

Holding it in like that would inevitably lead to an outburst.

Now that Xu Tian was here, it couldn’t be better.

"You should go back. I’ll call you if there’s anything."

"Alright, I’ll have someone send you guys some food. Make sure she eats something," Lin Yu instructed.

"Hmm."

...

Meng Qiancheng sat in his car for a while, smoked a cigarette, closed the car window, and took out his phone to dial a number.

As soon as the call connected, he started cursing with a terrible tone, "Are you sick in the head, finding a man like that?"

A woman’s nonchalant voice came through from the other end, "What’s wrong with this man? Isn’t he the one you asked for? He didn’t actually do anything with Cheng Zhiwei."

Meng Qiancheng punched the steering wheel hard, his voice ice-cold, "We had an agreement from the start, just to pretend, and you just had to take revenge, didn’t you?"

"That President Wang can’t get it up anymore, having overdone it with drugs when he was young. He just likes to play rough and enjoys torturing. She just got a bit tormented; why are you so anxious?"

The cavalier tone of the other party infuriated Meng Qiancheng, "Just a bit of torture? I don’t believe for a second that you don’t know how he tortures people. You truly deserve to die."

That table full of various props was certainly not there for decoration.

"If you had arrived sooner, her suffering would have been shorter, what right do you have to blame me? Now that it’s come to this, you should think about how to use this situation."

"Are you saying the traffic jam had nothing to do with you?"

"What does it have to do with me?" The voice on the other end of the line snorted coldly and hung up.

Meng Qiancheng’s face was an ashen color as he smashed his phone.

In a car not far away, Secretary Zhang spoke in a low voice, "By tracking Meng Qiancheng’s movements, we found that he left the hospital right when the Young Madam entered the residential compound."

There are no such coincidences in the world.

Just as Cheng Zhiwei arrived at the place, he got into his car and left.

"Oh?" Zhou Lin raised an eyebrow, actually, the map on the tablet showed that Meng Qiancheng was a bit closer to the hotel, and given that he left earlier, he should have been able to arrive about ten minutes earlier, "He didn’t make it?"

"There was a small traffic accident on the road, causing a traffic jam," Secretary Zhang said.

Zhou Lin narrowed his eyes, a traffic jam?

Such a coincidence and Cheng Zhiwei’s luck was just too bad.

...

When Cheng Zhiwei woke up, the sky outside was pitch black, and the lights were on in the room.

The needle in the back of her hand had already been removed.

Xu Tian was sitting on the sofa next to her, typing messages on her phone with nimble fingers, her expression very impatient.

She propped herself up with her arm and sat up, "Tiantian."

Xu Tian immediately put down her phone and came over to the bed to touch Cheng Zhiwei’s forehead, "You still have a low fever, but it’s good that you’re awake now. Have some water."

Cheng Zhiwei held the cup, her fingers still somewhat weak, but much better than before. Her face was very pale, "I have a fever?"

As soon as she spoke, her voice was hoarse.

Xu Tian didn’t avoid the truth and told her straight, "Zhang Yuanheng said that the drug in your body isn’t fully metabolized yet, so the fever is normal. It will pass soon."

She didn’t ask Cheng Zhiwei what had happened, nor did she show any sorrow or sighs for Cheng Zhiwei’s ordeal, her expression as calm as ever.

"Ah, right, Zhou Lin’s mother sent dinner over. It’s in the thermal container. Do you want to eat now?" Xu Tian asked again.

"No, I’m not hungry," Cheng Zhiwei only drank water, feeling very uncomfortable in her mouth.

"Alright." Xu Tian waited for her to finish drinking, put the cup down, and helped her lie back down, "Rest now, you can get discharged after a good night’s sleep."

"Mhm."

Cheng Zhiwei couldn’t fall asleep and asked Xu Tian, "Who were you messaging just now? You looked so worried and troubled."

Xu Tian rolled her eyes, "My dad, of course. He said I’m getting older and should find a boyfriend now. He even mentioned matchmaking. I was just arguing with him, defending my rights."

For people like them, marriage is a transaction.

Xu Tian didn’t want that.
