Chapter 604 - Her Pulse Doesn’t Denote Pregnancy (1/2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At this stage, Du Shinan simply said it clearly, “Her pulse doesn’t denote pregnancy. She isn’t pregnant.”
It was also only until this moment that he knew that that girl, Xinya, had wanted to use him to expose Ning Shuqian’s fake pregnancy. This was a brilliant move.
Ning Shuqian finally recovered from her daze and the first words that she heard were Du Shinan’s shocking words. She suddenly widened her eyes as her mind went blank as if she fell into a deep abyss.
“You…” Old Mr. Wen pointed a trembling finger at Ning Shuqian as he held his chest with the other hand and stumbled a few steps backward. At this point, although he had been mentally prepared, he couldn’t help but feel cold inside out.
Wen Haowen was totally stunned as his mind went blank and he sat dumbstruck on the chair.
Not pregnant, how could it be! He had carefully looked through the hospital’s diagnosis records and when Master Luo Le read her pulse, he was also observing close by. There must have been a mistake somewhere—how was it possible that Shuqian wasn’t pregnant?
And Wen Xinya widened her eyes in disbelief, took a step back, and stared at Ning Shuqian as if she saw a ghost, her thin lips trembling non-stop as if they couldn’t produce any sound.
The one who was most badly hit was Xia Ruya. She looked at everything before her in terror, her body pressing hard against the cold wall as if it were her only source of security and stability. She was like a startled bird at the sight of a bow, suddenly becoming overwhelmingly fearful at the mention of Master Luo Le.
Previously, she was the one who had suggested for Master Luo Le to read Ning Shuqian’s pulse in order to dispel Old Mr. Wen’s suspicion towards Ning Shuqian’s pregnancy.
“You’re spouting nonsense. I’m obviously pregnant. I have the doctor’s diagnosis, and Master Luo Le can also testify for me.” Ning Shuqian almost subconsciously retorted with a shriek. Even she didn’t know what she had just said—she was still in a trance.
Ning Shuqian’s words made Xia Ruya start trembling. She held her chest tightly, feeling so suffocated that she could hardly breathe.
Hearing her words of denial, Wen Xinya’s face became extremely horrid. “At this stage, you’re actually still trying to deny. Grandpa Du is the most prestigious medical practitioner of the Traditional Chinese Medicine field—how can his pulse diagnosis be wrong?”
It was merely her last-ditch struggle—Ning Shuqian was really struggling till her very last breath.
It wasn’t even a complicated condition but a mere pregnancy pulse—this was the most shallow pulse reading of the Traditional Chinese Medicine field, how could a prestigious medical practitioner like Master Du be wrong?
Ning Shuqian was totally not pregnant.
Ning Shuqian’s body suddenly went weak. She sat on the chair with a dazed look and empty eyes, as if her energy was sapped out of her.
Wen Xinya looked at Ning Shuqian with harshness in her eyes which materialized into sharpness, the expression on her face extremely cold. “Ning Shuqian, I can’t believe that you’re actually so perverse. Previously, at the Wen Corporation’s annual gala, you’d actually defamed me in front of everyone and revealed your pregnancy just to go against me, so that I’d be humiliated, be questioned about my identity, have my standing in the circle destabilized, and be plunged into distress… you… you’re actually so vicious.”
Wen Xinya’s words unquestionably exposed Ning Shuqian’s evil acts in broad daylight, making everyone look at her icy-cold, judgmental glances as if she were the most unpardonable criminal.
