Dr. Jiang Is Pregnant With His Nemesis’s Child

Chapter 36

Shen Fangyu didn’t know that danger was approaching. He was so hot that he wanted to take off his coat, but his hands were a little weak because he had just finished carrying heavy bags.

Seeing Jiang Xu looking over, Shen Fangyu wiped the sweat from his forehead, spread out his red palms for Jiang Xu to take a look, and smiled: “My hands are numb, help me unbutton my coat.”

Jiang Xu directly stretched out his hand to cover Shen Fangyu’s mouth.

Jiang Xu looked at the flashing mobile phone screen, and felt that it would have been better if it was a call from the hospital.

His parents would tell him many days in advance whenever they wanted to come and see him. He even bought most of the previous tickets. People in their fifties did not have the concept of surprising their children, and Jiang Xu had an ominous feeling– did his parents come for a surprise inspection?

“Mom…” he subconsciously spoke, but was interrupted by his mother: “Okay, the phone bill is very expensive, I won’t say more. Your father and I are already entering the elevator.”

The phone was suddenly hung up, and Jiang Xu was stunned for a moment. He then removed his hand from Shen Fangyu’s mouth and pointed to the baby products on the floor: “Hurry up and put these things away, my parents are coming.”

“Your parents?” Shen Fangyu was also shocked, he hurriedly took the bags to the study under Jiang Xu’s urging and spoke like a cannon: “Where are they? Do you want to pick them up? Do your parents know that we live together now? Should I hurry out and avoid them? ”

Jiang Xu felt like his heart was becoming ash: “In the elevator.”

“Damn it,” Shen Fangyu said, “A surprise inspection? Do your parents do this often? ”

Jiang Xu shook his head helplessly.

“There’s no reason for them to suddenly show up, it’s not like they know about the baby…”

“Shut up.” Jiang Xu directly locked Shen Fangyu and the several bags of baby and toddler products in the study, and just as he turned around, the doorbell rang.

The Jiang couple were ordinary wage earners in a small city. They were dressed in simple, clean clothes, and when the door was opened and they saw Jiang Xu, Mother Jiang cried out in distress: “Son, why are you so thin?”

“Dad, Mom.” Jiang Xu took the slippers for the two and said to his mother: “I’ve been busy with work, so I didn’t pay attention. ”

“What kind of life are you living here,” Mother Jiang couldn’t help but say, “I asked you to find a wife, and you won’t listen… Hey, forget it, I know you don’t like hearing this. ”

It was probably difficult for the middle-aged woman to avoid repeating the instructions she had given countless times, even if she knew that Jiang Xu didn’t like talking about them. Jiang Xu had told his parents countless times that he did not want to consider marriage, but the words would always enter Mother Jiang’s ear and go through the other, and she would urge him to marry whenever she saw him.

When he was still studying, his cousin would tell him about how his family would pressure him for marriage, and he felt that his cousin’s description was too exaggerated, but he did not expect that his mother was far more persistent than his aunt.

Jiang Xu rubbed his temples and said, “Mom, I’m doing well.”

“Xiao Xu, you do what you want, don’t listen to your mother,” Father Jiang persuaded on the side, “as long as you don’t go on the wrong path.”

Before Jiang Xu could understand the meaning of that sentence, his mother suddenly pointed to Shen Fangyu’s shoes on the shoe rack and said, “Son, do you have guests?”

Jiang Xu’s heart skipped a beat. “Those are my shoes.”

“Really?” Mother Jiang looked suspicious. “They don’t look like your shoes; when did you start liking this style? ”

Jiang Xu’s gaze flickered: “I bought them on a whim.”

However, today’s Mother Jiang was like Sherlock Holmes. She went straight to the kitchen and said, “Son, don’t lie to me, your stove has been used recently. Be honest with me, do you have guests that come over?”

She then opened the refrigerator, intending to stuff it with the food she brought in, only to find that it was full of food, and she was shocked.

“I started the stove.” Jiang Xu lied without changing his expression, but Mother Jiang did not buy it at all: “Impossible!” She knew her son well. “You will not take the initiative to cook even if the sun rises from the west.”

Jiang Xu: “I suddenly love life.”

When Mother Jiang tried to enter his bedroom, Jiang Xu remembered that there was still a bed on the floor and finally reacted before his mother opened the door. He rushed over and blocked the doorway, saying, “Mom, my room is very messy, don’t go in and look.”

Mother Jiang Mu gave him a meaningful look, but she was finally persuaded to return to the sofa. But just as he finished the crisis on his side, a voice came from the bathroom, “Xiao Xu, why are there two sets of mouthwash cups and toothbrushes on the sink?”

Father Jiang opened the bathroom door and walked out, his eyes full of curiosity.

Jiang Xu felt like he was being nailed to a stake and was almost sweating. He struggled for a moment, and said: “I have a dog, it’s for the dog. ”

“I haven’t seen any dog hair.” Mother Jiang said it with an air like that of Bao Qingtian. She suddenly looked startled and asked: “Which little girl are you living with?”

*Bai Qingtian is a crime-solving fictional character in the TV series “Bao Qingtian”.

“No one!”

Jiang Xu suddenly reacted after answering. Shen Fangyu was a man, what was wrong with letting his parents know that the two of them were living together temporarily? Did he have to hide it like a golden house so that his parents wouldn’t know?

*A golden house is like a place for a mistress.

Why was he acting guilty?

Jiang Xu suddenly felt a little stupid. He was just about to open his mouth to explain, saying that Shen Fangyu was staying here for a while, when Mother Jiang directly threw a bombshell at him, “Xiao Xu, tell mother the truth, do you like men? ”

Jiang Xu: “?”

His guilty conscience was justified; his parents were simply extraordinary.

However, the speechlessness on his face fell into Mother Jiang’s eyes, and it became a reaction to being seen through, and her face suddenly changed: “You really like men?” She asked a little cautiously, “Like that… Shen Fangyu? ”

Jiang Xu coughed violently. Fortunately, he wasn’t drinking water, or he would have choked at this time.

What was this?

“I don’t like men,” Jiang Xu said firmly, “Even if I really liked men, I definitely wouldn’t like Shen Fangyu.”

“But…” Mother Jiang stopped talking for a while, and then said: “You said on the phone that day that you won’t get married because of Shen Fangyu. ”

He won’t get married because of Shen Fangyu?

Jiang Xu paused, and he suddenly understood why his parents made such a fuss today.

Not long ago, his mother would call him every day with a new little trick added to the cliché: “Mom remembers that a lot of girls liked you when you were in middle school, why don’t you have a partner up to now? It’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have stopped you from falling in love at that time, I don’t even have a grandson to hold. ”

When he was in middle school, his mother forbade him from starting a relationship just like most parents do, but this was not the reason why he was not yet married, he even wondered whose ecstasy soup she was taking. After urging him to marry several times and failing, she began to blame herself.

Jiang Xu said that this had nothing to do with her, the problem was him, but his mother insisted on blaming herself.

Jiang Xu was not good at verbal battles, and he was simply powerless before his mother. It just so happened that Shen Fangyu sent him a message at that time, saying that he would not go with him on duty tonight, so he broke the jar and threw the pot on Shen Fangyu:

“I don’t blame you, do you remember the student who was the top scholar in the same year as me?”

Jiang Mu thought for a while and remembered that there was such a person. Back then, Jiang Xu took the top spot, but because he was juxtaposed with someone else, he became so angry that he didn’t eat for a day.

Jiang Xu said: “If you want to blame someone, blame him.”

This was not wronging Shen Fangyu, and besides, his mother had never seen Shen Fangyu, and her impression of him was just a newspaper article, so she probably wouldn’t pay much attention to it.

He thought she would ask him why he blamed Shen Fangyu, and he planned to tell her that it was because the competition between them was too fierce, and he couldn’t relax, but when he finished the manuscript, his mother didn’t ask anything, and directly hung up the phone.

Unexpectedly, this casual sentence made the old couple misunderstand their son’s sexual orientation. They dug out the old newspaper that night, carefully read the original report, remembered Shen Fangyu’s name and appearance, and then quickly bought a ticket and rushed to City A.

Jiang Xu was a little helpless. Shen Fangyu used his name to refuse so many suitors without any problem. He used Shen Fangyu as a shield once, and this kind of thing happened.

“Mom,” he said with black lines on his face, “things are not what you think, we are just ordinary colleagues.”

“Colleagues?” Mother Jiang repeated in shock: “You are colleagues? ”

Jiang Xu suddenly reacted, his parents didn’t know what Shen Fangyu was doing now!

Mother Jiang asked aggressively, “Do your lives intersect that much?”

Jiang Xu gulped with difficulty.

It was not much, really, aside from sleeping together and having a child… It can barely be called “much intersection’.

Seeing that he was silent, Mother Jiang asked again: “Who are you living with?”

“…” If Jiang Xu said it was Shen Fangyu, then he would not be able to wash himself free of this even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

“It’s just a friend, you don’t know them.”

“Really?” Mother Jian was still a little unconvinced. Father Jiang exchanged a look with her and then said to Jiang Xu: “Then you call that Shen Fangyu over, and we will have a meal together in the evening.”

Jiang Xu didn’t want Shen Fangyu to know these things, so he deferred: “He is quite busy with work; he has no time; isn’t it good for me to accompany you to a meal? Our family has not been together for a long time.”

Mother Jiang looked uncooperative, obviously not believing him. She pointed to Jiang Xu’s mobile phone and said, “You call him now.”

Jiang Xu took a deep breath and, after a short struggle, said, “He is doing surgery.”

Mother Jiang snorted coldly, and the suspicion in her eyes deepened, “You even know what he is doing?”

Jiang Xu: “…”

Father Jiang tried to smooth things over, saying, “Xiao Xu, if it’s not possible, you can send a text message.”

Mother Jiang echoed: “Yes, yes, send a text message.”

The Jiang couple stared at Jiang Xu, and the latter’s scalp went numb. His fingers stiffly unlocked the phone, and he typed extremely slowly while praying that Shen Fangyu’s mobile phone would be off.

However, before he even finished typing, there was a sudden sound in the study, and the cheerful and piercing ringtone was cut off a second after ringing. Jiang Xu and Mother Jiang looked at each other and saw the same question mark on each other’s faces.

In the study, Shen Fangyu lowered his voice: “Zhang Cheng?”

“Where are you? Why are you speaking in such a whisper?” Zhang Cheng casually asked and got straight to the point, “The meeting report I asked you for last time is overdue, can you send me another copy?”

“Couldn’t you send a message for such a small matter? Did you have to call?”

“Why can’t I call?” Zhang Cheng and Shen Fangyu were college classmates, they have a close relationship, so he immediately laughed and teased Shen Fangyu: “Are you watching a movie with the girl?”

Shen Fangyu didn’t want to say that Jiang Xu had stuffed him in the study like an adulterer.

At that time, he was still in shock when Jiang Xu suddenly locked him in, and he didn’t have time to react. After calming down and thinking about it, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He could have appeared in front of Jiang Xu’s parents decently and said that he was crashing here, or that he was bored and came over. But now that he is hiding here, if he is discovered, it would seem like there is really something ulterior.

Like it was an attempted cover-up.

However, he had already been locked up in the study, and Shen Fangyu had no other way but to hope that Jiang Xu could handle all this.

It wasn’t until the phone rang that he suddenly remembered he had not set the phone to silent. He struggled for a second, wondering whether to keep the phone ringing, so that Jiang Xu could say that it was his other mobile phone, but seeing that it was Zhang Cheng calling, he was afraid that something had happened to a patient at the hospital.

In the end, the doctor’s sense of responsibility made him quickly pick up the phone, but he didn’t expect Zhang Cheng to ask him for a document.

Shen Fangyu, who was almost breathless because of anger, hung up the phone amidst Zhang Cheng’s teasing, sent him a document, and began to stare at the study door, praying.

He answered so quickly that maybe the Jiang couple didn’t hear the fleeting ringtone.

However, prayer at this time was like worshipping the god of the night shift when on night shift, it had little effect except for self-deceptive psychological comfort.

With a “click,” Jiang Xu turned the keyhole with difficulty and opened the study door under the gaze of the Jiang couple.

The old couple outside the door and the young man inside the study looked at each other, and the latter stiffly pulled a smile at the corner of his mouth, and waved at the two.

“Hello?”

Mother Jiang blurted out, “Shen Fangyu?! ”

Shen Fangyu didn’t know about the conversation in the living room, and he said with astonishment: “Auntie, you… know me?” His social circle was quite wide, but it was mainly concentrated in the medical circle of City A. Was he so popular that even any old lady in City B knew him?

However, Mother Jiang did not answer him, her eyes rolled back and she fell into Father Jiang’s arms.
