Lord, give up! Madam has too many vests

Chapter 345 Premature birth

After the sports car's taillights completely disappeared into the thick night, Han Yan gripped the steering wheel, her knuckles turning white with anger.

Out of the corner of her eye, she couldn't help but glance at Yan Lan in the passenger seat. Her friend's profile looked particularly pale in the light and shadow cast by the streetlights, and even her jawline was taut.

"Scumbag!"

Han Yan finally couldn't hold back and swore, her voice trembling with anger.

"This kind of man doesn't deserve to be the father of my godson and goddaughter! He got divorced for no reason, and then immediately started dating other women in sports cars—"

Yan Lan didn't reply, but just stared at the street scene rushing past the window.

The neon lights flickered in her pupils like shattered stars, but they couldn't illuminate the heavy fog in her eyes.

Just now, Bai Xiaoyu's face kept flashing through my mind. She was clearly the girl in my memory who always had a shy smile, but when the car window rolled down just now, the smugness in her eyes was too sharp, like a knife chilled to ice, and she was completely different from before.

"Let's go back to the apartment first."

She closed her eyes briefly, her long eyelashes casting soft shadows beneath them.

The car turned onto the main road in the city and passed three traffic lights when Yan Lan suddenly opened her eyes.

That moment of clarity was like a flash of lightning piercing the darkness. She quickly glanced at the rearview mirror—in it, three black sedans were trailing behind at a distance, their license plates showing signs of being cloned. Traffic was congested at the time, yet those cars maintained an eerily steady speed in the flow of traffic.

"Han Yan," she said in a low voice, her fingertips quietly pressing the car window lock, "I'm a little thirsty. Could you go to the convenience store on the roadside ahead and buy me a bottle of water?"

Han Yan said "Oh" without thinking much about it. Just as she was about to step on the brake, Yan Lan stopped her again: "Don't stop right in front of the convenience store. Drive another fifty meters and park by the flower bed."

As she spoke, her gaze remained fixed straight ahead, her tone as flat as if she were simply remarking on the pleasant weather.

The warm yellow light of the convenience store shone on the street corner. As Han Yan ran in clutching her wallet, she wondered to herself how Yan Lan could remain so calm after seeing Qin Shi leave.

The moment the glass door slammed shut, Yan Lan quickly pushed open the car door and switched to the driver's seat. Her movements were somewhat clumsy due to the weight of her pregnant belly, but they carried an undeniable decisiveness.

The moment she turned the car key, the black sedan in the rearview mirror suddenly accelerated, its tires screeching as they rolled over the ground.

As the engine roared off, Yan Lan steered the wheel almost instinctively.

The car body grazed the edge of the flower bed, tracing a dangerous arc. The rear window was shattered by a stray bullet with a loud crash, and shards of glass splashed onto the leather seats.

She gritted her teeth and slammed on the gas pedal. The car sped through the intersection like an arrow. Just as the red light came on, it narrowly missed the truck, startling it so much that the truck honked its horn loudly throughout the night.

"Don't worry, Mom is a very good driver."

She stared at her stomach, as if someone who needed protection was sitting there.

In the rearview mirror, three black cars were chasing after us relentlessly.

The car in front suddenly rolled down its window, revealing a dark gun muzzle pointed at the tires. Yan Lan jerked the steering wheel, the car swerving in an S-shape on the asphalt road, bullets grazing the door and sparking as they hit the pavement.

Immediately afterwards, another car seized the opportunity to cut in from the side, attempting to force her into the median strip.

She took a deep breath, pressed her left hand firmly on the steering wheel, and deftly shifted gears with her right hand. The car suddenly slowed down, and the black car behind her didn't have time to react, crashing violently into the car in front.

The two cars instantly went out of control, wrestling together like drunken giants, and finally crashed heavily into the guardrail, with their front ends bursting into flames.

Seeing that things were not going well, the last car tried to turn around and escape.

Yan Lan, however, had no intention of letting it go. Her hands on the steering wheel were incredibly steady. Relying on her familiarity with the street, she swerved sharply and rushed into a narrow alley that could only accommodate one car at a time.

The black car followed closely behind, but it was a beat too slow at the sharp turn at the end of the alley—Yan Lan had already anticipated this and stepped on the brakes, causing the car to drift sideways and block the way.

The black car couldn't dodge in time and crashed hard into the wall, causing all the airbags to deploy.

Yan Lan slumped over the steering wheel, panting heavily, cold sweat trickling down her forehead and into her collar.

A sharp, throbbing pain suddenly shot through her abdomen, as if an invisible hand were squeezing her hard inside, causing her vision to blur.

She gritted her teeth and tried to push open the car door, but as soon as her fingertips touched the handle, another sharp pain struck her, and suddenly her lower body became wet.

"Oh no..." Her face turned deathly pale instantly.

At the entrance of the convenience store, Han Yan ran out with a cup of warm water in her hand, only to find an empty flower bed.

Her heart clenched, and her hand trembled as she dialed Yan Lan's number. All she heard from the receiver was the cold message, "The user you dialed is temporarily unavailable."

"Lanlan! Yanlan!" She frantically circled the roadside, her voice trembling with tears. Just then, a familiar car pulled up wobbly in front of her. The door opened, and Yanlan slowly stepped out, her expression calm, and walked step by step toward her friend.

"Han Yan..." She had just uttered the name when her legs went weak and she collapsed.

Han Yan rushed over and caught her. When she touched the cold, damp patch, her mind went blank.

"Premature birth?!" Her voice trembled as she pulled out her phone to dial 120. "Seven months... the baby is only a little over seven months old!"

"Han Yan, don't panic, I'm fine, but you have to help me put on a show."

Yan Lan knew that her children would arrive early.

It's a pity... but she had no choice but to do it...

Han Yan, her hands and feet trembling, supported her...

As the ambulance siren pierced the night sky, Madam Qin paced back and forth in the Qin family manor, clutching her phone.

Qin Shengsheng sat on the sofa with red eyes, still clutching the signed divorce agreement in her hand, the corners of the paper crumpled.

"Mom, I can't get through. My brother's phone is still not being answered."

Mrs. Qin's phone suddenly rang; it was Han Yan calling.

When I heard the news that Yan Lan had given birth prematurely.

"Go find him!" Madam Qin slammed her hand on the table. "Bring your brother back to me! If anything happens to Lanlan or the child, I will never acknowledge him as my son again!"

In a private bar in the city center, heavy metal music was so loud it hurt people's eardrums.

Qin Shi sat at the innermost booth, the whiskey between his fingers rippling with amber light.

Cheng Fei sat opposite him, looking hesitant. He poked at the hockey puck in front of him, playing with his phone. After seeing a message, he suddenly shouted, "My sister just received a message from Sheng Sheng saying that my sister-in-law... Yan Lan has been taken to the emergency room. She went into premature labor!"

Qin Shi's hand holding the wine glass suddenly stopped, and the amber liquid spilled out, spreading dark stains on his black shirt.

He suddenly stood up, causing the chair to tip backward with a loud bang.

"Which hospital?" he asked hoarsely.

Cheng Fei also stood up, grabbing his coat from the back of the chair: "Which other hospital could it be? It must be Dongfang Hospital!"
