Second pregnancy, sixth child: The beloved mom's disguise has been exposed again.

Chapter 148 Premier Wen's Engagement, Public Opinion Overwhelms All

The following day, Ning Yao went to the hospital to personally deliver medicine mixed with spiritual spring water to Hu Mingyu.

When she saw Hu Mingyu, she felt that something about him was different, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"I'm sorry to trouble you to make the trip yourself." Hu Mingyu smiled at Ning Yao, his joy barely contained.

Seeing that Hu Mingyu was in a good mood, Ning Yao was a little curious and casually asked, "Dr. Hu, you seem to be in a good mood. Is the old lady feeling better? Has she woken up?"

"She is perfectly healthy and I believe she will wake up soon."

"That's good."

"I'll get back to work now, Miss Ning Yao. Please make yourself at home."

After receiving the medicine, Hu Mingyu went to his laboratory. Ning Yao originally wanted to visit the old lady, but when she thought of Old Master Wen's appearance, she decided it was better not to go and upset him.

Just as Ning Yao was about to leave the hospital, she ran into Lian Qiran.

Lian Qiran walked quickly, as if he had something urgent to attend to. He also saw Ning Yao, strode forward, and stopped her.

"It's great to run into you here. I was just looking for you. I have news from Tingye," Lian Qiran said.

"Is he alright? Is he injured? Where is he now?" Ning Yao blurted out unconsciously, revealing her concern without hesitation.

Lian Qiran looked Ning Yao up and down, not at all surprised by her reaction. Ning Yao had always cared about Wen Tingye, but she was just stubborn and soft-hearted, unwilling to let others discover her feelings for Wen Tingye.

“You know Tingye has a younger sister, right? She was taken to the hospital yesterday, covered in injuries. From what she said, Tingye has been away from the country these past few days because he went to rescue her, and he missed his flight, so he's alright.” Lian Qiran finished speaking in one breath.

"Is he injured too? Is he in the hospital now? In which ward?" Ning Yao stared intently at Lian Qiran.

“What you should be concerned about now is not whether the other person is hurt, but whether he will still have anything to do with you in the future,” Lian Qiran frowned.

Upon hearing this, Ning Yao's eyes flashed with surprise. What did Lian Qiran mean by that?

Seeing that Ning Yao was unaware, Lian Qiran took out his phone, quickly tapped on it with his fingertips, and finally brought up an external news article, enlarged the headline, and handed it to Ning Yao.

"See for yourself."

Princess Shanna of Country Y will marry Robert, the leader of the underground party's King Organization, in a month.

The huge title suddenly caught Ning Yao's eye, causing her to be stunned and experience ringing in her ears for a moment, and the scene before her eyes also became blurry.

Seeing Ning Yao staring blankly at the news headline, Lian Qiran immediately frowned and began to complain.

"We're so worried about him back home that we can't eat or sleep properly, while he's having a great time abroad, about to marry a princess!"

"How beautiful is this princess? She looks just average in the photos, not even as pretty as you. How did she manage to win him over so completely?"

Lian Qiran kept muttering something in her ear. Ning Yao initially listened to a few words, but later she was completely isolated and couldn't hear anything anymore. Her mind was filled with the news that Wen Tingye was going to marry Shanna.

She was happy to hear that Wen Tingye was alright, but why did she feel so upset when she saw the news that he was going to marry another woman?

So what if he gets married? What does it have to do with her? Perfect timing, when he returns to China, she'll have a serious talk with him about Ai Xiu Bao Ying's situation.

He's about to marry the princess of Country Y. At that time, Ai Xiu and Bao Ying will probably be a burden for him.

She didn't want her child to go abroad with Wen Tingye, and she especially didn't want her child to call another woman "Mommy" in the future.

"Ning Yao, are you alright?" Lian Qiran turned to look at Ning Yao when she saw that Ning Yao hadn't responded after she had been talking for so long.

Ning Yao's complexion was far from good; she was pale and had dark circles under her eyes from lack of rest.

"I'm fine." Ning Yao shook her head, but forgot to say goodbye to Lian Qiran before turning around and walking out of the hospital.

Lian Qiran opened his mouth, but after watching Ning Yao's departing figure, he swallowed his words back.

This is Wen Tingye and Ning Yao's private matter. What right does he, an outsider, have to interfere? He himself hasn't even figured out what's going on with Yang Dongcha yet.

By the time Ning Yao came to her senses, she was already quite far from the hospital.

She was standing on a bustling street, and whether it was her imagination or not, Ning Yao felt that passersby were all staring at her, as if they were sizing her up. Some were even whispering and gossiping in front of her.

"Isn't this the person who kidnapped Madam Wen? Why hasn't she been arrested by the police? She's still walking around on the street as if nothing happened?"

"Oh my, she has connections, didn't you know? She personally opened the Moonlit Embrace banquet hall on the top floor of the Imperial City International Hotel. I heard she's the big boss behind the international hotel!"

"That's outrageous! Does money give you the right to disregard the law? She did kidnap the old lady and almost killed the eldest daughter of the Lian family!"

"There's nothing you can't do with money. Look how pretty she is. Maybe she earned that money through illegitimate means."

"What's the use of being good-looking if you're still as venomous as a snake?"

"That's disgusting! I bet she's had plastic surgery on her face!"

Ning Yao overheard a few of the remarks, most of which were not kind.

She gritted her teeth, her brows furrowed tightly, and her fox-like eyes swept over the passersby.

Picking up her phone, Ning Yao saw the messages Yang Dongcha and Chen Xuezong had sent her, which perfectly explained the behavior of these passersby.

[Yang Dongchai: In the past two days, a lot of news unfavorable to you has been exposed, all accusing you of kidnapping the old lady and endangering her life.]

[Yang Dongcha: There's also a popular male celebrity who publicly dissed you on his private blog. Do you have a grudge against him? He's the male lead in "Ten Years of Madness," named Qin Kun.]

[Yang Dongcha: Sigh, don't take it too seriously. These keyboard warriors online are mindless followers, especially those brainless fans. They believe whatever their idols say without any independent judgment.]

[Chen Xuezong: The current public opinion is very unfavorable to you. I have arranged for someone to contact the major media outlets reporting on the kidnapping case. It will take some time, but it will be resolved soon. Please stay home as much as possible for now; it's safer at home.]

The old lady is still unconscious and cannot testify for her; she remains a suspect in the kidnapping case and has no personal freedom.

Wen Tingye is getting married, and she can't even go abroad now, let alone talk to him in person.

He was inexplicably thrust into the spotlight of public opinion and was subjected to so much abuse that not even a trace of dirt remained.

Why has everything around me suddenly become passive, which is frustrating?

As Ning Yao passed by the bench, she was so angry that she almost wanted to kick the tree to vent her anger!

Suddenly something hit her back. Ning Yao was not paying attention to her surroundings and couldn't dodge in time. She was hit squarely by a glass of iced drink.

The sticky liquid, still containing ice, stained her clothes.

The person who threw the object at her was a young girl, who looked to be in high school.

Her eyes were filled with hatred, and she was about to throw the other glass of iced drink in her hand at any moment, as if Ning Yao was her father's killer.

Ning Yao squinted at the little girl, who, despite her clothes being soaked by the iced drink, did not look disheveled at all.

"Did you throw away the cold drink?" Ning Yao's voice was icy cold, and her eyes were sharp as if she wanted to devour someone, like a knife cutting into a person.
