Was the man a scumbag who tricked her into marriage? A powerful man brought his child to her door de

Jie Lanyuan's expression changed slightly. He immediately released Yan Xuxu's hand, bumped into her shoulder, and rushed towards the door.

The force was so great that Yan Xuxu staggered back two steps, her elbow hitting the corner of the table, causing her to gasp in pain.

Lin Huan had heard everything outside and came in to help her up. "I'm sorry, Xuxu, I really didn't know he was Shen Mohan. If I had known, I would never have let you come."

"fine."

Yan Xuxu placed her hand on the table to ease the pain, and inadvertently touched the report that Jie Lanyuan had left on the table. As if possessed, she picked it up and glanced at it again.

The child's name is Jie Siyu.

Perhaps it was because the character "栩" in her name also contained the radical "羽" (feather), which Yan Xuxu found particularly pleasing to the ear.

She hadn't intended to help Jie Lanyuan before, and hadn't even looked at the report in detail, but now she was carefully browsing through it.

When the word "premature birth" came into view, Yan Xuxu's heart was inexplicably pierced.

That unplanned pregnancy caused her to experience various health problems.

First, her progesterone levels were low and the pregnancy was unstable. Then, she had several miscarriages and almost suffered one after another. In order to save the pregnancy, she stayed in bed for five months.

No matter how careful she was, the baby was still born prematurely.

She fell into a coma due to severe bleeding, but when she woke up, she was told that her child had died young.

She hadn't even seen the child once before the child was disposed of.

Shen Mingzhou only told her that it was a daughter, and never mentioned anything else.

She has lived with guilt all these years.

She even wondered if the baby wouldn't have died if she had held on and not fainted, or if a more professional doctor had come to help her deliver the baby.

At this moment, Xie Lanyuan's daughter is also enduring a life-or-death struggle.

She could have saved her, but if she refused to help because of her grudge against Xie Lanyuan, the child would face the same fate as her daughter.

Thinking of this, Yan Xuxu felt a pang of reluctance. She had been racking her brains about how to retrieve the medical book, but now she had an idea.

"Tell him I promised to save his daughter."

"On the condition that I need him to do something for me."

Shen Mingzhou's attitude was clear: he would not return the medical book to her.

Even if she tries to take it by force, she won't have an advantage.

After all, the medical book is now registered with Ming'an Group, which means it belongs to the Shen family. Unless Shen Mingzhou voluntarily returns it, she has no chance of winning the case even if she goes through legal proceedings.

But Xie Lanyuan is different. As the heir to the Xie Group, he wields immense power and influence, and moreover, Shen Mingzhou is determined to cooperate with the Xie Group. It would be most appropriate for Xie Lanyuan to help her retrieve the medical book.

Lin Huan immediately contacted Jie Lanyuan.

The reply came quickly: "Xuxu, Jie Lanyuan agrees to any of your conditions, but you need to go to the hospital now, and we can discuss the details later."

Yan Xuxu barely had time to think before she burst out the door.

She didn't know what she was nervous or afraid of, she only knew that she absolutely couldn't let anything happen to this child.

*

When Yan Xuxu arrived at the hospital, Xie Lanyuan was leaning against the wall, his expression indifferent and his thin lips tightly pressed together. This made her think of the scene when he stayed by her side when she was sick before.

However, with the passage of time, he now holds a high position, and the man under the control of power and money has long since become unable to show his emotions, making it difficult for others to guess his thoughts.

Mu Nan walked over and said respectfully, "Miss Yan, everything has been arranged here. Please change your clothes and go in directly. No one will know your identity."

Yan Xuxu glanced at Xie Lanyuan one last time before turning and entering the adjacent changing room.

When she came out again, she had transformed into a cool and professional cardiologist. As she passed by Xie Lanyuan, she heard him speak.

"We absolutely cannot let anything happen to her."

Yan Xuxu lowered her eyelashes, concealing the emotions in her eyes, and said in a cold voice, "Don't worry, I will do everything I can to save her."

After saying that, she stepped into the emergency room.

Several doctors saw her and immediately made room for her.

Just now, Mr. Jie said that an authoritative expert was coming. They thought it would be an elderly man, but they didn't expect the person to be so young.

The child lying on the resuscitation table was very thin and small due to his long illness. According to the growth standards of a five-year-old child, his height and weight were far below the required level.

Yan Xuxu stepped closer and took a clear look at the child's features.

Even with her eyes closed, you could still tell that her features were somewhat similar to Xie Lanyuan's, except that her skin was very white, an almost transparent, sickly white.

Her hands were covered with countless needle marks, some with large bruises, a truly shocking sight.

As a doctor, she had seen even the most serious situations.

For some reason, seeing Xie Siyu like this, Yan Xuxu felt a sudden pang of pain in her heart.

This is clearly Xie Lanyuan's daughter, so why does she feel so sorry for her?

The doctor standing nearby, seeing that she hadn't moved for a long time, reminded her, "The patient's condition is very serious and she needs to be treated as soon as possible."

"Let's begin."

Yan Xuxu withdrew her gaze and quickly devoted herself to the rescue.

However, the situation was more serious than she had anticipated. After two hours of emergency treatment, the child's vital signs returned to normal.

Perhaps because she hadn't experienced such intense rescue efforts in a long time, Yan Xuxu's body went limp when she came out of the emergency room.

A large, steady hand encircled her waist, pulling her into his embrace, and a deep voice, tinged with unreadable emotion, sounded above her head.

"Are you alright?"

His mature aura enveloped her domineeringly, penetrating her nostrils. Yan Xuxu felt a sudden unease, took a step back, and braced herself against the wall to create distance between them.

Without thinking too much about whether he was asking about her or the baby, she said in a hoarse voice, "The baby is out of danger, but the situation is still not optimistic. Because of her premature birth, her liver is underdeveloped and she has severe vascular malformations. In addition, her body is too weak, so the risks of the surgery are far greater than I had anticipated."

Jie Lanyuan's brows furrowed tightly, his steady breath rippling slightly. "Is there still hope?"

Yan Xuxu's expression was solemn. "One of my unfinished research projects is on this technology. If it succeeds, there will be hope for the child's illness."

Jie Lanyuan's icy expression cracked slightly, but his voice remained indifferent. "Just tell me what you need me to do."

Now that things had come to this point, Yan Xuxu stopped beating around the bush. "The new technology that Ming'an Group is currently researching is my project. All you need to do is help me retrieve the medical book."

Jie Lanyuan knew of the existence of the medical book.

Yan Xuxu's mother came from a family of doctors, and her maternal grandfather was a famous traditional Chinese medicine doctor at the time, who devoted his life to writing a medical book.

He had heard about this medical book from Old Master Shen several times.

Unexpectedly, the medical book actually fell into the hands of the Shen family.

Jie Lanyuan scoffed, "You really went all out for Shen Mingzhou, even giving him something this important."

No sooner had he finished speaking than two figures emerged from next door.

It was Shen Mingzhou and Su Wanqing.

Yan Xuxu and Xie Lanyuan retreated to the corner of the wall in perfect unison.

Having just finished his examination, Shen Mingzhou carefully supported Su Wanqing, his face filled with tenderness.

However, this gentleness was different from the way he treated her.

The former was genuinely sincere.

The latter was indeed hypocritical.

"Is this the man you like?"

The two stood side by side, and the imposing height difference made Yan Xuxu move half a step to the side.

Xie Lanyuan suddenly leaned down, a low chuckle rolling from his throat, "He really is 'deeply in love' with you."

Yan Xuxu could tell he was being sarcastic. Her heart ached terribly, but her face remained stubborn. "I will try to control your daughter's condition first, but it won't last long. Instead of wasting your time being sarcastic to me, you should think about how to get the medical book."

She turned and went into the lounge to change her clothes, her slender back looking thin yet resolute.

Jie Lanyuan stood there, watching her disappear through the door, a dark glint flashing in his unfathomable eyes.

Mu Nan walked over and whispered, "Mr. Jie, Miss is out."

Xie Lanyuan then withdrew his gaze. "Go and investigate the new project that Ming'an Group has been researching recently."
