The Flower Of The High Mountain Is Pregnant With The Son Of The Sand Sculpture Ceo Chapter 30

Chapter 30 Chapter 30 If all physical indicators are met, you can have the…

The more Pei Yumin spoke, the more excited he became, finally standing up with a smug look of having everything under control, as if the words “I am the only one” were practically carved onto his forehead.

He patted Lu Shangyan’s shoulder: “So it’s really simple for me to solve these problems. You can rest assured.”

Lu Shangyan closed his slightly parted mouth and couldn’t help but let out a scoff.

Pei Yumin was about to continue recounting his “glorious deeds” from birth until now, but Lu Shangyan’s short laugh interrupted him, leaving the phrase “Don’t be afraid, I’ll protect you for life” stuck in his throat.

He felt stifled: “I’m telling the truth! You have to believe me! I was pretending to be poor before because… there was a reason! When you are discharged from the hospital, I can find a suitable time to explain everything properly!”

As he spoke, he took out his phone again, wanting to find a few photos of himself spending money lavishly to show him, but just as he bent down, Lu Shangyan took the opportunity to place the back of his hand on Pei Yumin’s forehead.

Pei Yumin instantly froze, staring at Lu Shangyan without blinking, afraid that this tiny bit of intimacy would vanish.

Lu Shangyan tilted his head slightly: “Are you sick?”

Otherwise, why would he keep talking nonsense?

Pei Yumin saw the concern in Lu Shangyan’s eyes and quickly became immersed in happiness, unable to extricate himself. For a moment, he forgot everything else, only wanting to seize every moment and opportunity to get closer to Lu Shangyan.

He was still wagging his invisible dog tail furiously when Yuan Qingyu arrived. She saw him sticking his butt out and couldn’t resist hitting him twice with her handbag, but he remained completely unfazed.

She leaned in curiously and saw Pei Yumin smiling with a lovesick expression. She thought that if Lu Shangyan really agreed to be with him, Pei Yumin might end up squatting on the floor every day, wagging his tail and panting like a Golden Retriever just to please Lu Shangyan.

Yuan Qingyu rolled her eyes internally, then mustered her strength to shove him aside. She placed the thermos in front of Lu Shangyan like a treasure: “Shangyan, I brought you chicken soup. Drink it while it’s hot.”

Lu Shangyan’s heart immediately leaped. He didn’t know what to do, only managing to look down and say, “Thank you.”

When he worked part-time as a waiter, he communicated well with customers and wasn’t socially anxious around strangers, but for some reason, knowing that the person opposite him was Pei Yumin’s mother made him nervous.

His palms were sweaty. He held the spoon and slowly drank the chicken soup. Yuan Qingyu noticed his discomfort and, to prevent him from feeling more awkward, temporarily dialed back some of her enthusiasm. She just sat there, chatting with him intermittently. Mostly she asked questions, and Lu Shangyan answered with his head down.

Fortunately, after finishing the bowl of soup, Lu Shangyan was finally less tense.

Pei Yumin went to wash some grapes for him and placed them on the bedside table. When he saw the limited-edition handbag Yuan Qingyu casually placed on the table—a bag that required a minimum purchase of 4.5 million in matching goods to acquire—he suddenly remembered something he hadn’t clarified.

So he took out his phone, photographed the bag, searched for it, and then pushed the phone toward Lu Shangyan: “Look, this bag is priceless now, selling for tens of millions on the secondary market. My mom just tossed it casually on the table. She definitely has money!”

“I really didn’t lie to you. My family is really rich. I really can protect you for life, so you don’t have to be afraid of anything.”

Yuan Qingyu thought he had gone mad and almost wanted to smash the thermos over his head to snap him out of it!

Pei Yumin completely ignored her disdain and even gestured to Yuan Qingyu: “Hurry up and tell him! Our whole family are billionaires!”

At this, Yuan Qingyu’s face was filled with panic: “Doctor! Doctor, come quickly! My son is possessed! No, my son has gone crazy!”

Pei Yumin threw his phone onto the bed and dragged Yuan Qingyu outside to talk for a long time before she finally understood. She looked at Pei Yumin with even more contempt, twisting his ear and demanding: “What have you done!”

The stitching, the color of the edges, the color of the strap, and even the chain of the bag were slightly different. An ordinary person probably wouldn’t notice, but Lu Shangyan wasn’t just a regular person; he was a prospective dentist who needed every nerve to be clearly visible, and his eyesight was excellent.

He also recalled the cousin Pei Yumin mentioned, the one skilled at counterfeiting famous brands and making fakes to improve his own abilities.

Everything made sense now.

Lu Shangyan sighed in relief, put the bag back in its place, and then searched for “Pei Yumin” on his phone.

A blank slate.

This was thanks to Ms. Yuan Qingyu. To ensure he had a healthy and relaxed upbringing, she had never allowed him to appear in the media since childhood, nor had she even revealed his name. She was afraid he would receive too much attention, which might affect his mood due to certain reports, and also feared he might be targeted by unsavory people.

It wasn’t until he graduated abroad and started working in the company to gain experience that the outside world received some news about him, but it was still very scarce.

Lu Shangyan scrolled for a few minutes until his phone froze again, still finding no useful information.

Just before Pei Yumin re-entered the room, Lu Shangyan guessed that Pei Yumin was pretending to be a billionaire to reassure him, so he wouldn’t worry about An Yun showing up at any moment.

After reaching this conclusion, he tossed his phone onto the pillow, quickly lay down, turned his back to the door, and closed his eyes, feigning sleep.

With this guess, he didn’t know how to face Pei Yumin anymore.

…He was being a bit too presumptuous!

But he couldn’t think of any better reason.

Hearing the door open, Lu Shangyan squeezed his eyes shut even tighter. Yuan Qingyu assumed he was asleep. She quietly packed up her things and specifically instructed Pei Yumin before leaving: “Be careful!”

Lu Shangyan was grateful they didn’t walk around to face him, or they would surely have seen his flushed face.

Early the next morning, Pei Yumin proactively contacted An Yun.

After learning what had happened, Yuan Qingyu insisted on going with him.

Her reason was simple: she was afraid that if a fight broke out, Pei Yumin wouldn’t be able to fight back, and she was a Taekwondo black belt who would absolutely not show deference just because the opponent was a woman.

The two of them prepared for a tough battle. Pei Yumin even wore an out-of-season, loose-fitting casual tracksuit, figuring it would be easier to run in if a fight started, preventing Yuan Qingyu from accidentally injuring him.

However, unexpectedly, An Yun was smiling from the very first second they met. Her smile made Pei Yumin uneasy, and he began to suspect that she was only trying to lower his guard, and that she had already bribed the coffee shop staff to put deadly poison in the coffee or the sugar cubes in front of him.

After drinking it, she would only produce the antidote if they obediently complied with her demands.

He leaned against the window, watching An Yun with a gloomy expression, as if everything was under his control.

But the next second, Yuan Qingyu elegantly picked up her cup and took a few sips of coffee.

An Yun’s smile deepened.

At that moment, Pei Yumin had only one thought: It’s over. Despite all precautions, they fell into this wicked woman’s trap!

But one minute, five minutes passed, and half a cup of coffee was gone, yet Yuan Qingyu remained perfectly fine.

Neither of them spoke first, as if the one who broke the silence would be considered inferior.

But Pei Yumin couldn’t wait. It was almost 10:30 AM, which was Lu Shangyan’s fruit time, and he needed to rush back to peel an apple for him.

“Just tell me what you want directly. Don’t beat around the bush.”

The moment he finished speaking, An Yun immediately said: “I want to divorce Dong Shufan, and I want him to leave with nothing.”

Yuan Qingyu’s expression remained unchanged. She had already guessed this while sitting there, waiting for An Yun to speak.

Otherwise, given Lu Shangyan’s identity, An Yun could have acted directly instead of going through the trouble of seeking a collaboration. Given her personality, she probably wouldn’t let go of anyone who had ever cuckolded her, even if that person didn’t have a substantial relationship with Dong Shufan.

An Yun looked at Yuan Qingyu: “As long as you are willing to help me, I promise I will delete all the videos afterward and absolutely will not implicate Lu Shangyan.”

Pei Yumin felt passive. He was afraid An Yun would actually expose the videos. Although he had the ability to intercept the news immediately, the speed of online public opinion spread was not something he could easily control. Some malicious news would inevitably reach Lu Shangyan.

Lu Shangyan was in a sensitive condition right now, and Pei Yumin was afraid he couldn’t handle the stress.

Although he thought An Yun probably wouldn’t take the risk—if she truly angered him, she wouldn’t fare well either—he couldn’t gamble. Furthermore, if An Yun kept bothering Lu Shangyan, it would be extremely annoying.

Since he didn’t want Dong Shufan near Lu Shangyan anyway, he might as well use this opportunity to resolve everything.

With that thought, everything became clear.

Yuan Qingyu finally spoke her first words of the day: “We can help you, but your path ahead may not be easy.”

An Yun smiled and clinked her cup against Yuan Qingyu’s: “When has my path ever been easy?”

On the way back, Yuan Qingyu sighed deeply: “Her target was never Shangyan from the start, but us.”

Even Pei Yumin, dense as he was, figured it out: “Isn’t she afraid of things backfiring when she schemes against people like this?”

Yuan Qingyu said, “If she were afraid of that, she wouldn’t be CEO An today.”

An Yun’s family company was just a small, unranked business back then. Her father, eager to climb the social ladder, insisted she marry a rich man to help the family, regardless of the fact that the man was twenty-seven years older than An Yun.

The engagement ceremony was planned for two months, and An Yun seemed compliant until the day of the ceremony—she ran away. When her father found her, she had just registered her marriage with Dong Shufan.

Dong Shufan was only a small intern doctor at the time, with nothing to his name. Since An Yun’s father couldn’t profit from her marriage, she didn’t have to endure scorn from her in-laws; instead, she could bring her husband to live at home and manipulate him. This allowed her to focus entirely on her own affairs.

She capitalized on this, using the “chip” of opening a hospital for Dong Shufan as leverage to marry him, demanding they quickly have a son.

An Yun’s father was furious, and her fiancé was also enraged. To appease him, An Yun’s father pushed her sister, who was four years younger than An Yun, out instead. The sister had just turned eighteen and was terrified, crying constantly.

But she was much weaker than An Yun and ultimately didn’t dare to resist. After getting engaged to the old man, she moved into his house. However, after only a year and a half, he grew tired of her. Relying on the fact that they hadn’t legally married, he broke off the engagement and sent her back.

She always resented An Yun, but An Yun seemed to possess a cold-blooded streak. Not long after her sister returned, An Yun used some tactics to make her obedient again.

An Yun entered the company and climbed the ranks step by step. The company grew larger and larger under her management. Her father gradually came to value her, wanting her to be her brother’s right-hand woman so that when he handed over the company in the future, her brother would have an easier time.

She hid her ambition over the years but never concealed her ability. Last year, when her father was too old to make all the decisions, she sent her own brother abroad, using his involvement in an economic case to ensure he could never return.

By the time her father realized what happened, it was too late.

An Yun spent almost another year clearing out the company’s other obstacles. Now, only the disgusting trash, Dong Shufan, remained by her side.

She became pregnant and gave birth to a boy shortly after marriage. Afterward, she used work as an excuse to separate from Dong Shufan, even opening the hospital she promised him in a neighboring city. The couple spent most of the year apart. An Yun was willing to give Dong Shufan benefits when she needed to use him, but now, she intended to reclaim everything.

She stumbled upon the “big tree” that was Pei Yumin by chance. If the Pei family was willing to intervene, it would be much easier than doing it herself. Moreover, if the circle knew that the Pei family had helped her, even if she wasn’t fully backed by them, just having half a foot in their shadow would allow her to leverage that influence to continue climbing.

This matter was entirely beneficial to her, which is why she deliberately sought out Lu Shangyan and intentionally appeared before Pei Yumin.

–

Pei Yumin handed the peeled apple to Lu Shangyan, grumbling through gritted teeth: “Neither of those two is any good. They have such clever tactics, and they both targeted our Shangyan!”

Lu Shangyan snapped out of his thoughts, glanced at him, and slowly took a bite of the apple.

Pei Yumin continued: “Don’t be afraid. No matter how clever her tactics are, she can’t beat me.”

Lu Shangyan assumed he was just trying to act relaxed to prevent him from worrying, so he looked him in the eye and said sincerely: “Thank you. But if it really can’t be resolved, we should still call the police.”

Pei Yumin was about to say something else when Dr. Wu entered, informing Lu Shangyan that he needed another detailed and comprehensive examination tomorrow: “Don’t eat or drink anything tomorrow morning. Wait until the examination is over.”

Lu Shangyan nodded and agreed. He had been staying in the hospital for four or five days, with Pei Yumin accompanying him every day. He had enjoyed a few days of ease and almost forgot that he still had many pressing worries that required quick decisions.

Dr. Wu gave a few more instructions. After Pei Yumin saw him out and chatted with him for a while, he returned completely changed.

His expression was even a little aggrieved and pitiful: “Uncle Wu just said that if you don’t want this child, it’s better to have the surgery sooner rather than later. After tomorrow’s check-up, as long as all your physical indicators are met, you can have the surgery to terminate the pregnancy.”

Lu Shangyan couldn’t eat the apple anymore.

Pei Yumin didn’t want to pressure him, but there were things he had to ask: “So, have you made up your mind? Are you going to keep it, or not?”
