40 An Unbearable Price

Zhan Qiang could hear the killing intent in the second young master's tone. He looked at the woman in front of him with a cold expression and said in a deeper tone, "Madam, be careful with your words and actions. The Zhan family doesn't need others to interfere in our matters."

His voice was cold, and the faint killing intent revealed made Song Qinglian, who did not have much confidence, panic. Her body subconsciously trembled, and countless bad thoughts swirled in her mind. Did the Zhan family know the truth?

Could it be that they had really found out what their daughter had done that night, or that the Zhan family did not want Zhan Jinghong's scandal to be known by outsiders, so they wanted to silence them?

"Ah! Don't touch me! Don't touch me!"

Song Miaomiao, who was sitting opposite, suddenly howled loudly. Dr. Huang, who was in front of her, was holding a needle as thick as a needle and stabbing it into Song Miaomiao's blood vessels.

"What are you doing! You're breaking the law!"

Song Miaomiao was scared out of her wits by this group of people. She was really afraid that the Zhan family would kill them.

Song Qinglian looked at her trembling daughter. Dr. Huang had already drawn a tube of blood from Song Miaomiao's body, but he did not stop. He drew a few more tubes of blood.

Song Qinglian immediately had a guess. A strange light flashed in her eyes, and her heart couldn't help but beat faster. This doctor didn't do anything else to hurt his daughter. He just repeatedly drew a few tubes of blood.

These tubes of blood could not be used for anything other than checking if her daughter was pregnant.

If her daughter was really pregnant at this time, even if she were to replace Lu Yao, the Zhan family would not find out. They would definitely treat the child in her daughter's stomach as the Zhan family's child!

Song Qinglian became excited. Her eyes were filled with anticipation and excitement, and her face was flushed with excitement.

She secretly looked forward to her daughter having sex with another man a few days ago. If it happened to be her daughter's ovulation period at that time, there was a high chance that she would get pregnant!

Although the number of days of pregnancy was short and ordinary pregnancy tests could not find out, a blood test could find out if she was pregnant. The doctor in front of him had drawn several tubes of blood from his daughter. His motive was obvious.

What excited her the most was that they did not realize that their daughter had taken Lu Yao's place. They really felt that their daughter had a one-night stand with Young Master Zhan!

How could Song Miaomiao know any of this? She watched as the doctor moved without pity, one tube after another, drawing her blood mechanically. Her lips become paler and paler.

"Mom! Save me!" Song Miaomiao's voice was filled with tears and fear.

Song Qinglian forced herself to suppress the excitement in her eyes and deliberately lowered the corners of her lips. Looking at the four people in the room who were silent and emitting an unfriendly aura, she said gently to her daughter, "It's okay, Miaomiao. These gentlemen from the Zhan family won't hurt you."

"Really?" Song Miaomiao had always respected her mother. Now that she saw her calm appearance, she was not so afraid.

Song Qinglian's posture returned to normal. She sat on the sofa in a dignified manner and said in a calm and gentle tone, "Don't be afraid, Miaomiao. Cooperate with the doctor and let him draw your blood."

Song Miaomiao braced herself and tried her best to stop her body from trembling, but the panic in her heart did not decrease at all.

No one noticed that Song Qinglian was no longer panicking. Her eyes were filled with calculation and greed, and the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up. Initially, she had scoffed at her daughter's idea of marrying Zhan Jinghong. However, she did not expect things to take a turn for the better.

The Zhan family's behavior filled her with anticipation.

The blood draw ended quickly. The four people led by Zhan Qiang turned around and left without hesitation.

At this moment, Zhan Jingtian, who was sitting in the car, turned off the surveillance video in front of him after seeing Zhan Qiang and the others leave. The greed and calculation in the eyes of this mother and daughter were undisguised. It disgusted him. Out of sight, out of mind. He decided not to look at them anymore.

The Zhan family had a hundred years of foundation. The power they possessed made it so that even the aristocratic families in the entire imperial capital did not dare to easily climb up the social ladder, let alone use this crooked idea to plot against the Zhan family. Unless they were tired of living.

He didn't know if he should say that Song Qinglian and the others were ignorant or bold. They actually dared to openly display their ambitions and schemes in front of the Zhan family.

Zhan Jingtian smiled faintly. The two of them were really tired of living.
