Chapter 135 Chen Xiaomiao's Enemy
The two were just getting intimate when a loud voice suddenly came from behind them.

"Lu Yuan!"

Fatty Wang slapped Lu Yuan's shoulder with his large, fan-like hand, and the force was considerable.

"Brother Yuan, we absolutely have to get together today, right? It's a graduation farewell dinner, it wouldn't be right not to come!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan's face showed some difficulty, and he subconsciously glanced at Chen Xiaomiao beside him.

I drank myself into oblivion last night, it's really inappropriate to drink again today.

"Go ahead, your classmates have broken up, it's time to get together. I'll pick you up later."

As a sensible and virtuous wife and mother, Chen Xiaomiao understands that men always have unavoidable situations when they are away from home.

"Alright, did you hear that!" Fatty Wang said cheerfully, "Look how understanding your sister-in-law is, Brother Yuan, you must have burned incense in your past life!"

Chen Xiaomiao blushed from his praise and lowered her head shyly.

Fatty Wang added, "Sister-in-law, many people brought their families to the gathering today, why don't you come along too!"

This will allow everyone to see for themselves, so those bastards won't keep spreading rumors behind Yuan-ge's back, saying he's been bewitched by some vixen.

Chen Xiaomiao subconsciously looked at Lu Yuan, and when she saw Lu Yuan nod at her, she smiled and responded in kind.

"middle!"

Our graduation farewell dinner was held at a popular food stall near the school.

Dozens of people were huddled together noisily, with the table piled high with kebabs and draft beer. The sounds of clinking glasses, drinking games, and boasting filled the air.

Lu Yuan didn't drink much, just had a couple of drinks and exchanged a few pleasantries occasionally.

Chen Xiaomiao stayed obediently beside Lu Yuan, eating small bites of her baked bun without chili peppers, while listening to the group of graduates talking animatedly.

They talked about their uncertain jobs, the girls they couldn't have, and the silly things they'd done in the past four years. Their laughter was carefree, but also tinged with confusion.

The party lasted until 3 p.m.

On the way back, Chen Xiaomiao drove while Lu Yuan sat in the passenger seat with his eyes closed, resting.

The carriage was quiet, with only the steady sound of the M5's engine.

Suddenly, the silence was broken by the urgent ringing of Chen Xiaomiao's cell phone.

She put on her Bluetooth earphones, swiped to answer the call, and a strange male voice came on.

"Hello, is this Ms. Chen Xiaomiao? This is the Municipal Traffic Police Brigade."

"Traffic police!?"

Chen Xiaomiao's heart skipped a beat.

Her memories of being bullied by thugs during her escape from the Republic of China era, along with Lu Yuan's half-serious but half-joking scare tactics, have instilled in her a natural fear of people in uniform.

"It's me, Officer... Officer, is there something you need?"

When Chen Xiaomiao received the call from the traffic police, her voice began to tremble uncontrollably.

The police officer on the other end of the phone sensed her nervousness and softened his tone.

"Ms. Chen, don't be nervous. Our system found that around 4:15 pm yesterday, your BMW M5 with license plate number 'Jiang A·XXXXX' committed multiple serious traffic violations on Anyang Road between Anyang Road and the Central Hospital."

This includes repeatedly running red lights and speeding by more than 50%, which are considered serious offenses.

Chen Xiaomiao's mind went blank for a moment before she remembered that she had indeed floored the accelerator yesterday to take Gao Rong to the hospital.

"Officer, I had a reason!" she hurriedly explained, "I was taking a pregnant woman who was about to give birth to the hospital. She was hemorrhaging and couldn't wait for the ambulance..."

"To a pregnant woman?"

The traffic police paused, seemingly verifying something, before continuing their explanation after a while.

"In special circumstances, we need you to provide relevant supporting documents. For example, hospital emergency room records, and proof from the person being helped, that is, the pregnant woman or her family."

Prepare your materials and have them accompany you to the traffic police station. After verifying the situation, we can consider revoking the penalty.

"Okay, okay! Thank you! I'll go prepare right away!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xiaomiao breathed a long sigh of relief.

Lu Yuan opened his eyes at some point and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Chen Xiaomiao recounted the whole story.

Lu Yuan didn't pay much attention after hearing this. He took out his phone, found Zheng Zhifeng's WeChat account, and made a voice call.

"Hello? Brother Lu."

The phone rang for a long time before being answered. Zheng Zhifeng's voice sounded extremely tired, and in the background noise, one could vaguely hear a woman's complaints and a baby crying.

"Brother Zheng, are you busy? There's something I might need your help with..."

Lu Yuan briefly explained his purpose.

"Oh dear! Look at the mess this has made!"

Zheng Zhifeng apologized repeatedly on the other end of the line: "I'm so sorry for causing you and your sister-in-law trouble! I really can't leave right now. I just took Rongrong to the postpartum care center, and she's in a bad mood..."

Lu Yuan said calmly, "It's alright, you go ahead with your work. Send me the address of the postpartum care center, and we'll come over to you now, get the necessary documents, and also visit your wife and baby."

"Okay, okay, I'll send it to you right away!"

Half an hour later, the M5 stopped downstairs at a private postpartum care center called "Saint-Dean".

This place is less like a postpartum care center and more like a five-star hotel, with detached villas and gardens in a quiet and elegant environment. It's already considered mid-to-high-end, costing at least a thousand yuan a day.

Zheng Zhifeng was already waiting at the door. When he saw the two of them get out of the car, he quickly came over and kept apologizing to Chen Xiaomiao.

"Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry to have troubled you to make this trip..."

As he was speaking, Gao Rong's impatient voice could be faintly heard from inside the building: "Zheng Zhifeng! Where the hell have you been? Our daughter is crying again, get back here right now!"

Zheng Zhifeng's face flushed red and then turned pale. He smiled awkwardly at the two of them and extended an invitation.

"Since you're already here, why don't you all go in and see the child together?"

Chen Xiaomiao wanted to refuse, but seeing Zheng Zhifeng's eager expression, she couldn't refuse him, so she and Lu Yuan followed him into the room.

Gao Rong was half-lying on the bed playing on her phone, with a face mask on. When she saw Chen Xiaomiao following Zheng Zhifeng in, she was stunned for a moment, then forced a smile.

"Oh, it's Little Miao! Please sit down, please sit down. Thank you so much for yesterday!"

She expressed her gratitude verbally, but there was little sincerity in her eyes; her politeness was more like completing a task.

"Sister-in-law, you're too kind."

Chen Xiaomiao responded hesitantly.

Lu Yuan didn't even glance at Gao Rong; his gaze was fixed on the crib beside him.

The little one lying inside is Zheng Qingtong.

The baby's eyes were closed, but he seemed to be sleeping restlessly, his little brows furrowed.

She was a whole size smaller than Zhao Moli, whom I had seen the day before yesterday. She looked thin and frail, like a fledgling bird that hadn't grown any feathers yet.

Lu Yuan sighed inwardly, feeling sorry for the child.

Logically speaking, with Zheng Zhifeng's financial resources, ensuring Gao Rong ate and drank well during her pregnancy should not have been a problem at all, yet the child is so thin and small.

It's likely that Gao Rong didn't pay much attention during her pregnancy, probably because she was still thinking about maintaining her figure after pregnancy.

"Come here, sister-in-law, hold the baby."

Zheng Zhifeng walked over, carefully picked up his daughter, and handed her to Chen Xiaomiao with a loving expression: "You are her savior."

Chen Xiaomiao was initially quite happy, smiling as she reached out and steadily supported the baby's neck and bottom.

But as soon as Zheng Qingtong landed in her arms, her face, which had been relatively quiet just a second ago, instantly scrunched up, her mouth pursed, and she burst into a loud, earth-shattering wail.

The cry was sharp and loud, not at all like that of a weak baby.

Chen Xiaomiao stood there, stunned, looking at the little thing in her arms, unsure whether to coax or not, at a loss.

"Oh my goodness, what happened..."

Upon seeing this, Zheng Zhifeng quickly took the child from him.

Strangely enough, as soon as the child returned to his arms, the deafening crying stopped abruptly, leaving only a few aggrieved sobs. The little head rubbed against his chest and then fell into a deep sleep.

The scene became extremely awkward.

"This child... is probably shy around strangers."

Zheng Zhifeng tried to smooth things over with an awkward laugh.

Chen Xiaomiao could only give an awkward smile, but she couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and a well-dressed middle-aged woman carrying large and small bags walked in. It was Gao Rong's mother.

As soon as she entered the room and saw Zheng Zhifeng, she immediately frowned and began to complain in a sarcastic tone: "Zhifeng, I'm not trying to criticize you, but Rongrong carried your child for ten months and suffered so much, and you let her live in a place like this?"

I just went to my friend's daughter's place, and that's what a real postpartum care center is! It's a detached villa, and they have three nurses a day!

Zheng Zhifeng just smiled and agreed repeatedly, without uttering a single word of rebuttal.

When Gao Rong's mother arrived again, Lu Yuan and Chen Xiaomiao couldn't stand it any longer and brought up the matter of the traffic police again, asking Zheng Zhifeng if he could accompany them today.

Zheng Zhifeng felt like he had been granted a pardon. He quickly rummaged through Gao Rong's bag for the hospital bill and emergency room records, and then went with the two of them to the traffic police brigade.

With the hospital's certificate and the testimony of the woman's husband, things went smoothly, and the traffic violation record was quickly removed.

After leaving the traffic police station, the three parted ways at the entrance.

Watching Zheng Zhifeng drive away, Lu Yuan sighed and said with emotion, "With a wife and mother-in-law like this, the father and daughter are probably going to have a tough time from now on."

Inside the car, Chen Xiaomiao remained silent, her lips pursed, lost in thought.

"Lu Yuan."

"What's wrong?"

Chen Xiaomiao turned her head, her expression strange: "When I was holding that girl just now, I felt something was off."

"What's strange about it?"

Chen Xiaomiao shook her head, seemingly unable to find the right words to describe it.

"I can't quite put my finger on it... it's just... it's just a feeling, between the two of us..."

She struggled with the decision for a long time before finally reaching a conclusion.

"We are destined to be enemies."
