Chu Xi and others finally wait until Bai Wuchen comes back.
Thundering asked in a low voice, "Wuchen, why is the alliance leader looking for you?"
Bai Wuchen replied, "nothing. She is a little sick. Let me have a look."
"Not well. Is she all right?"
"Nothing."
Fang Zui wondered, "she's not feeling well. Why didn't she find Bai Liyi? Isn't Bai Liyi in the imperial garden?"
"Bai Liyi is... Not here." White Wuchen said: "well, the alliance leader is fine. Don't worry. Let's go."
Fang Zui said, "OK, I'm ready for you."
After a while, the three set out for country E.
In the apartment, Huoyan stroked her slightly swollen abdomen and murmured, "what's your name?"
She began to think about the baby's name since she was pregnant, but she thought about many things and was never satisfied.
At this time, someone knocked outside the house.
Huoyan looked towards the door and asked, "who is it?"
"Yan'er, it's me, Susie."
Susie!
I didn't expect it to be her.
Huo Yan slightly frowned: "what's the matter with you?"
"I heard you were on vacation. What happened to you?"
"Nothing. I'm just sick."
"Well... Can I go in and see you?"
"No need. Go back, Susie."
Susie stood outside the door uncertain and continued: "Yan'er, I'm really worried about you. Let me go in and have a look."
Huoyan felt that she seemed to be intentional, and her voice was cold: "Susie, I don't want to see you. I hope you won't bother me again in the future."
There was no sound outside. Huoyan thought Susie had finally left, but she didn't expect her voice to ring again a few minutes later: "Yan'er, I know why you are on vacation and why you don't want to see me. Are you pregnant?"
Huo Yan was shocked and said: "what are you talking about?"
"I'm not talking nonsense. Just open the door. Yan'er, paper can't cover fire. You can't hide such a big thing as pregnancy."
After a moment of silence, Huoyan suddenly stood up, went to the door and opened it. Coldly, she asked, "what do you want to do?"
Susie looked at Huoyan's slightly swollen stomach. She was not surprised. It seemed as she guessed: "when do you... Have an operation? Shall I go with you?"
"What is the operation?" Huoyan asked.
Susie said, "don't you want to go to the hospital alone to have an operation? Let me accompany you. I promise I won't tell anyone."
"How did you know I was pregnant?"
"When you went to the hospital that day, in fact, I saw that you came out of the Department of Obstetrics and gynecology. I didn't pass by that day. I was also in the hospital, but I didn't follow you. I went to the hospital because I was sick. You took a sudden leave. I guessed that you should go to surgery, so I wanted to accompany you."
Huoyan said lightly, "I don't need your company. Susie, I hope you don't tell anyone about this."
"Don't worry, I won't say." After a pause, Susie said again, "but Yan'er, can you do me a favor?"
"Are you talking to me about terms?"
"No, just ask for your help."
Huo Yan pursed her lips and said nothing.
Susie said to herself, "I heard that Jiang Er Shao is going to set up a branch in country e. the address of the company is in Guodu. Can you help me enter the Jiang group?"
"That's what you've been trying to please me for, isn't it? Susie, you've finally shown your true face."
"Yan'er, everyone has another side. For example, if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, I wouldn't believe you would be pregnant. Yan'er, help me, for the sake of our friends."
"Friend!" Huoyan snorted coldly, "are you and I friends?"
"Of course, I'll help you keep a secret. You can help me find a job. Is it right for friends to reciprocate?"
"What if I don't help you? Are you going to publicize my pregnancy?"
"Yan'er, don't force me. I really don't want that."
"You think brother Jiang Ci's company is so easy to enter. He always only values ability. If he doesn't have real skills, don't think about it."
"It was because it was difficult to enter that I came to you. I believe as long as you open your mouth, Jiang Er Shao will certainly agree."
"He won't. I'm not that important to him."
Susie's face sank inch by inch: "Huo Yan, do you really want to be so heartless? You should not think for yourself, but also for the Huo family. Where should the Huo family face go when you make such a scandal?"
Huoyan said coldly, "you don't have to worry about it. My parents and brothers will know about this child sooner or later, because I want to give birth to him."
Hearing this, Susie was stunned and said in surprise, "what did you say? You want to have this baby? Why?"
"It has nothing to do with you! Susie, don't try to threaten me with these things. Even if you tell me about this, it's just for me to let the family know the existence of this child earlier. And you... My parents and brothers will never let you go, and neither will I. You can do it yourself."
"Why did you give birth to this child? Who is the father of this child?" Susie murmured.
"I said, it's none of your business! Susie, I don't want to hurt anyone, but don't force me."
