Chapter 1661: A New Beginning (1)
In a flash, that thought appeared in her mind.
However, Qiao Yiyi spun around on reflex.
She didn’t have the time to think, because a split second of difference could cost two lives.
Actually at this point, Qiao Yiyi was already at the bathroom’s door and it would have been too late even for anyone else to help, even if they turned around and tried.
But like a dark lightning bolt, Qiao Yiyi charged towards Qiao Lian.
Qiao Lian, who had gained around 30 pounds during her pregnancy, had now a substantial weight and it was really too much for Qiao Yiyi, who was of a rather frail body, to handle.
However, Qiao Yiyi carefully placed her hand on Qiao Lian’s lower back to push her softly, and this was enough to steady Qiao Lian.
The girl heaved a sigh of relief.
It was a good thing nothing had happened to Qiao Lian.
But just as this thought was crossing her mind, she heard a painful gasp.
She was stunned. Turning around again, she saw that Qiao Lian had turned pale and droplets of perspiration had formed across her forehead. Both her hands were placed tightly over her belly.
Qiao Yiyi’s mind went blank.
She hadn’t fallen, had she?
What was going on?
Could it be that Qiao Lian was trying to frame her? So that Lu Nanze would abhor her. Could Xiao Lian be like those evil female characters in novels? Even though she was already married, she still wanted to control her ex-boyfriend?!
As these thoughts ran through her mind, Qiao Lian spoke in a low voice as she tried to suppress the pain, “I- I’m about to give birth. Would you mind calling an ambulance, or help me get Shen Liangchuan?”
Qiao Yiyi: …!!
What sort of luck was this?
She quickly nodded and placed her hand on Qiao Lian to support her. Then she went out and started to call out for help. When they heard about the commotion in the bathroom, the people outside instantly opened the door and charged in.
Qiao Yiyi said in relief, “Your wife—”
Before she could finish speaking, an angry voice hollered at the doorway, “Qiao Yiyi, what are you doing?!”
The girl turned around upon hearing this voice that was both strange yet familiar. It was Lu Nanze.
She was stunned, as though afraid that the man would smell something fishy about the situation.
She was about to withdraw the hand that was supporting Qiao Lian, when she saw Lu Nanze lunge forward and come at them in a hurry.
The next moment, he was next to them with one arm around Qiao Lian and with the other arm, he forcefully swept Qiao Yiyi aside.
Qiao Yiyi was caught off guard, hence the force of the push caused her to lose her balance and she stumbled backwards.
Her lower back landed hard against the basin counter, and the sharp pain caused her to double over.
With that vicious knock, she fell a painful pinch in her chest.
This reopened an old injury and she bent forward to throw up a mouthful of blood.
Instantly, her vision darkened.
By the time she had a chance to slightly recover, Lu Nanze had already carried Qiao Lian up in his arms and left.
Qiao Yiyi: …!!
Qiao Yiyi doubled over again to throw up another mouthful of blood. Then, applying pressure on her lower back and curling herself up, she walked to the tap and rinsed her mouth. After this, she felt better.
At around the same time, the bathroom door swung open.
Shi Nianyao, whose wedding ceremony had just ended, stood at the doorway.
She looked at Qiao Yiyi and suddenly said, “You are Yi Yi, aren’t you?”
–
In the meantime, Qiao Lian, who was about to be lifted into the ambulance, finally grabbed Lu Nanze’s wrist after the sharp bout of pain had passed and said, “Qiao Yiyi saved me!”
