I accidentally messed with a wealthy family, and my blind date was the CEO.
Chapter 676 For Freedom
Jiang Yuzhu tried his best to make his voice sound weak and tired, "Grandma, I have a headache. Maybe it's because I've been too tired recently. I want to go for a walk and breathe some fresh air."
Pei Jingchuan also stood up and walked to her side, his eyes full of concern. "Yuzhu, why don't we go to the hospital together? A headache is not a trivial matter and should not be taken carelessly."
While Meng Ling was sorting out the items she was going to take on a little adventure in her room, she heard the conversation coming from downstairs.
Her heart suddenly rose, worrying that something had really happened to Jiang Yuzhu.
However, when she thought about it, she realized that this should be Jiang Yuzhu's pre-planned plan in order to leave home smoothly.
Meng Ling walked out of her room quietly, although she knew in her heart that all this was part of Jiang Yuzhu's careful planning.
But she still pretended to be concerned so as not to arouse the suspicion of her family.
She slowly went downstairs and came to Jiang Yuzhu's side, her eyes full of pretended worry.
"Yuzhu, are you really okay? I heard you have a headache." Meng Ling asked pretending to be concerned.
Her voice was loud enough for everyone present to hear. This kind of inquiry was not only for Jiang Yuzhu, but also to show her care to Mrs. Pei and Pei Jingchuan.
Jiang Yuzhu felt Mengling's intentions. She smiled softly and responded, "It's okay, Mengling. Maybe I'm just a little too tired recently. The air outside should make me feel better." Her voice still maintained that tone. The tone was weak and tired, but there was a hint of mischief in Meng Ling's eyes.
Pei Jingchuan's brows furrowed, his worry not alleviated by Jiang Yuzhu's understatement.
He knew that she was a strong girl who rarely complained about minor illnesses and pains. This time she even took the initiative to bring up her discomfort, which made Pei Jingchuan feel unusual.
"Yuzhu, I know you are always strong, but headaches should not be taken lightly. Let's go to the hospital, at least do a check-up, and feel confident." Pei Jingchuan spoke firmly, obviously not planning to let it go easily.
Jiang Yuzhu was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Pei Jingchuan to be so insistent.
She knew that if she really went to the hospital as Pei Jingchuan wanted, her and Mengling's plan would be ruined.
She was anxious and tried to persuade Pei Jingchuan in another way.
In this tense and delicate atmosphere, Meng Ling suddenly broke the silence.
She said softly: "Actually, I also feel a little sleepy. Maybe it's because I've been reading too late at night recently. I want to go upstairs and rest for a while. Don't disturb me." Her voice was soft, trying to divert her attention from Jiang Yuzhu shifted slightly, giving her a chance to escape.
Although Mrs. Pei and Pei Jingchuan were still concerned about Jiang Yuzhu's situation, they also expressed their understanding of Mengling.
"Okay, Mengling, you should go to bed early. Everyone is very busy during this period, so you should pay attention to your health." Mrs. Pei said gently, her eyes showing love and care for the two young people.
Pei Jingchuan glanced at Meng Ling with a slightly worried look, and then turned to Jiang Yuzhu. He seemed to be weighing whether to insist on taking Jiang Yuzhu to the hospital.
Meng Ling walked upstairs quietly, her heart beating fast not only because of the little adventure she was about to embark on, but also because she had to ensure that her actions would not be noticed by her family.
Her room was filled with the warmth of the afternoon sun, and everything looked so peaceful, in stark contrast to the excitement in her heart.
As soon as she entered the room, Meng Ling acted quickly and locked the door.
She took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down.
She walked to the closet and took out the backpack she had prepared in advance.
It contains everything they might need: water, snacks, and a light jacket in case it gets cold at night.
She checked her backpack again to make sure nothing was missing.
Mengling stood in front of the mirror and slightly adjusted her hair style and clothes.
Make sure everything looks normal so that it doesn't immediately appear that she's planning to go out.
She knew everything had to be as natural as possible to avoid arousing suspicion in her family.
Then, Mengling walked to the window, gently opened a corner of the curtain, and looked out.
Her room was on the second floor, a little above the ground, but for them, it was the perfect escape route.
She checked the environment under the window to make sure no one was paying attention.
She pulled several sheets from her backpack, key items in their plan to create a makeshift "escape rope."
Meng Ling skillfully tied one end of the sheet to the bedpost, and slowly let the other end out of the window until it touched the ground.
She gave it a gentle tug to make sure it was firm, then knew everything was ready.
At this time, Meng Ling's heartbeat almost jumped out of her chest. She took a deep breath and encouraged herself: "For our adventure, for that freedom."
In the living room, the tension gradually heated up. Jiang Yuzhu knew that Pei Jingchuan's persistence was not easy to shake.
She had already made up her mind that she must find an impeccable reason to escape and start that little escape adventure with Mengling.
At this moment, she suddenly covered her lower abdomen, her face turned pale, and she bent over in pain, as if she had been hit by sudden severe pain.
"Ah..." Jiang Yuzhu moaned in a low voice, her voice full of helplessness and pain. Her acting talent was brought into full play at this moment, "My stomach... hurts so much..."
Mrs. Pei and Pei Jingchuan were immediately attracted by her reaction, and their nervous and concerned eyes immediately focused on her.
Mrs. Pei's face instantly became extremely solemn. She stepped forward and eagerly supported Jiang Yuzhu, her eyes filled with deep worry.
"Yuzhu, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with the child?!" Her voice trembled, revealing her extreme anxiety for her grandson's safety.
Pei Jingchuan followed closely behind, his expression immediately froze, and his eyes showed extreme anxiety.
"Yuzhu, don't scare me! Let's go to the hospital immediately!" His words were quick and firm, showing his serious attitude towards the sudden situation.
Jiang Yuzhu felt a little guilty. She knew how heavy the worry caused by her acting skills was, especially for her family members who already knew she was pregnant.
She tried to stabilize her emotions and waved her hands gently, "I...I don't think it's serious. Maybe I just ate the wrong thing. I'll be fine after a little rest."
But Mrs. Pei obviously did not accept such an understatement. Tears flashed in her eyes, which was a mixture of deep love and fear for her future great-grandson.
"No, Yu Zhu, you are pregnant with the baby at home, so you can't be careless about any small things. Look at you, your face is so pale, this is obviously not a small matter!" Old Mrs. Pei said in a hurry.
She turned to Pei Jingchuan and said, "Quick, Jingchuan, call an ambulance quickly, we can't delay here!"
Pei Jingchuan nodded and was about to pick up the phone when Jiang Yuzhu realized the seriousness of the situation.
