Chapter 342: No More Children

tay a safe distance behind her, never getting too close, but their presence was unsettling as they trailed her ominously.Xiaoxin had to call the police, but when they arrived and reviewed the security...This time, the lawyer is speaking on behalf of the client.

"This is a medical record proving that my client underwent surgery at the hospital. From now on, he will only have two young children: Shu Xiaonian and Shu Xiaohe."

The lawyer spoke cryptically, and when the people present understood his meaning, they all looked at Zhuo Yu'an in shock. Especially Shu Tinglan, shocked and unbelievable, her mind only had one thought: was this man crazy

Lu Kuo was also learning for the first time that Zhu Yu'an would actually perform such a surgery. To do this for a woman, he was truly insane. There was no second man in the world like this one, who was so ruthless to himself.

The man who just dropped that bombshell stood there calmly and collected. He certainly wasn't afraid to go to any lengths to get what he wanted.

Shu Tinglan's mind went blank. In that instant, she forgot how to argue or refute the accusations. The situation was beyond saving; she had lost, utterly and completely. All because Zhuo Yu'an had been too ruthless. His ruthlessness wasn't directed at her, but at himself.

The courtroom fell silent, everyone held their breath and looked at Zhuo Yunan. Only Yi Muyang kept his eyes on Ting Lan. When Ting Lan also looked at him, he gave her a thumbs up silently, praising her performance just now. It was also his silent support for her. Never be afraid. No matter what the court decides, as long as he's there, he won't let anyone take the children away. This was something he had told Ting Lan before, and now he said it again without a word.

Shu Tinglan's heart, which was almost broken, slowly returned to normal when she saw his encouragement.

After leaving the court, Shu Tinglan took over Yimu Yang's wheelchair from Fu Tai. Sun lawyer and Lin Zhe and others stood beside them silently, none of them spoke a word.

My heart is filled with unexplainable frustration. Zhuo YUAN's tactics are too masterful, he doesn't play by the rules. Throughout the entire process, he never said a single word against Ting Lan, and there wasn't any evidence presented to prove that she was unfit to raise a child. He always played defensively, portraying himself as a good man and a good father, winning over a large amount of sympathy. Even someone like Lin Zhixuan looked at him with newfound respect, let alone the judge.

He went out first, standing on the steps at the entrance. He watched as Tinglan pushed Yi Muyang out. He even stepped forward and asked a question.

"Need help"

Because it's stairs, pushing Yimu Yang's wheelchair down the steps isn't that convenient.

"No!" Shu Tinglan refused.

"Thank you for your help." Yi Muyang agreed, standing up. He picked up the cane beside him and leaned on it with one hand, while extending the other to Zhu Yunan to support him.

The two were similar in build, but their temperaments were worlds apart. One exuded an air of elitism, aloof and cold; the other, a casual and carefree vibe. It was a jarring sight: Zhuo Yu'an, impeccably dressed, supporting Yi Mu yang, clad in casual wear, as they descended the steps. Behind them, Lu Kuo helped push Yi Mu yang’s wheelchair down the stairs. It was truly a tragedy; for the first time in his life, he was pushing a wheelchair, and it was for Zhuo Yu'an’s rival.

"Mr. Yi's life is rich and colorful, but you should still take care of your health." As Zhuo Y uan said when he reached the last step. With that tone and attitude, you can't tell if he truly cares about you, or if he's sarcastically criticizing you, or even warning you.

"I can, thanks for reminding me, General Zhu." Yi Muyang replied calmly and collectedly, unfazed.

Lu Kuo panted heavily as he wheeled himself in front of Shu Tinglan. Shu Tinglan rushed over to help him settle down. The wealthy mother beside them seemed oblivious to her role as a mother, watching the three men with such distinct personalities, she couldn't help but think, "If Ah Yang had grown up in our circle, maybe he would have become good friends with them."

After Zhuo Yu'an handed the cane to Yi Mu Yang, he looked at Ting Lan without shying away and said:

“Tinglan, I will come to pick up the children in two days.”

Since we've reached this point, there's no need to beat around the bush. Let's be clear: if she refuses to allow him to take the children, then court-ordered enforcement will be the only option.

Shu Tinglan watched him leave in large strides, her face suddenly paling. Was she really going to lose her children Yi Muyang patted her hand on the wheelchair, offering comfort.

“It’s okay.”

When Lu Kuò was finished, he walked over to Cheng Chén who wasn't far away, intending to say hello before leaving.

Cheng Chen is on a voice call with her mother. The sound from the phone's external speaker is her mother asking her something.

"Why did you run all the way to the city Your aunt asked, how is that boy I introduced to you last time He seems quite interested in you and is waiting for your reply."

"Well, that's good." Cheng Chen replied.

Aunt's introduction to this blind date was a college teacher. To be honest, he was average, nothing particularly good or bad about him.

He's just a rather realistic, even a bit calculating, college professor.

On a blind date, someone asked her directly:

Why haven't I been in a relationship at this age yet;

Do you have any background If not, it will be very difficult to succeed as a civil servant.

If you were married, would you be willing to live with your in-laws

She answered truthfully, saying that she had never been in a relationship because she was busy with her career and had been held back by others; her family was an ordinary working-class family, and as a civil servant, she could only rely on her own efforts; after marriage, she didn't want to live with her in-laws, nor did she want to have children.

She thought it was a good idea, starting by laying out their respective conditions. If they were compatible, they'd continue; if not, it wouldn't waste either of their time. The university professor at the time heard her answer, especially the last point, and couldn't hide the disappointment on his face.

Now he's suddenly interested in her again

Mom's voice came through.

"The boy said that you are very down-to-earth and reliable. He wants to meet you in person when you get back to Qining."

"Great!"

After hanging up the phone, she was still immersed in the other person's evaluation. Practical Reliable Had she made that impression on people now

"Are you on a blind date" Unexpectedly, the voice of the one who had once delayed her life rang in her ear.

Lu Kuo didn't intentionally eavesdrop on someone's phone call. When he came over, he happened to hear his mother talking about a potential matchmaker, so he couldn't help but stop and listen a little longer.

"Yes," Cheng Chen answered openly, "Blind dates are just blind dates, nothing to be ashamed of."

“So you want to get married” Lu Kuo couldn't quite explain the feeling in his heart. He just felt that Cheng Chen wouldn't go on a blind date. He had chased her for a long time, and as he chased, he realized that their three views were different. He played with the world, went with the flow, didn't argue with himself, and the most important thing in life was to enjoy it in time. But Cheng Chen was serious and worked hard towards her goals. When they were together, he unconsciously felt a lot of pressure, as if not working hard was a sin. Besides, she always responded lukewarmly, so he also lost heart and let go.

Do you know what kind of surgery Mr. Zhu hadre going to the bookstore to look at some books for a while. We'll be home late.""Mom, Tinglan and I are going to the bookstore to read books. We won't be home for dinner.">Lu Kuo, standing next to hi...
