“I still don’t know,” said Shi Jin. “I haven’t found out who the boss is.”

“The boss doesn’t usually do things like that. I think the parents might have arranged for the boss to do it because they didn’t want the child anymore.”

“Since they had the surgery and arranged for a surrogate pregnancy, why would they suddenly not want it? There’s nothing wrong with the child.” Shi Jin could not figure this out.

Fu Heyan shook her head and said, “After being pregnant for so long, I’ve heard too much about irresponsible parents. Sometimes, I really pity those children. If you need my help in this matter, just tell me. Hubby, you must also help when the time comes.”

Qin Sinian nodded. “Yes, Shi Jin, if you need help, just call me.”

“Okay.”

The boss called Wen Qian again. “Miss Wen, Shi Jin is about to find out about me. What should I do? It will be difficult if my nest is overturned. I have to bear legal risks for doing this. Miss Wen, why don’t we let that pregnant mother induce labor and keep this child? I’ll go and talk to Shi Jin and say that this is a misunderstanding.”

“Are you keeping the child?”

“Miss Wen, you’re so funny. This is you and your husband’s child. How can I raise it? I’m just trying to persuade you to keep the child,” the boss said in panic.

“So don’t persuade me. I said I don’t want the baby. Hurry up and find your own way to get rid of it.”

“Why on earth is that?” the boss asked.

“Don’t worry about things that don’t concern you.”

Wen Qian gave no reason.

This matter had been planned well and had nothing to do with Shi Jin.

Could it be that Shi Jin was investigating this matter and wanted to use this matter to suppress her?

A cold sweat broke out on her skin at the thought.

What was this sudden coincidence?

She had no choice but to believe in Shi Jin’s scheming.

She had to strike first!

She immediately said to the boss, “How about this? Listen to me and say… when the time comes, I’ll pay you triple the money. Do the math yourself.”

Photos of Shi Jin and the pregnant woman appeared on the internet.

The pregnant woman looked like she was already pregnant and was sitting with Shi Jin. She looked like she was talking about something.

It had just started, so no one paid much attention to it. Everyone knew about Shi Jin’s medical skills and that she would usually help patients. The fans were already used to it.

However, slowly, some bad news began to spread. When Shi Jin was mentioned, it was said that she found someone to be a surrogate mother.

Some of the articles were even said in a serious manner. “Isn’t Shi Jin married? She should want a child, but she doesn’t want to give birth herself. After all, this will affect her career in filming, so she used surrogate pregnancy. Although this matter is illegal, there’s still a lot of gray areas in our country. Therefore, the rumor is that this surrogate mother Shi Jin found is helping her and her husband give birth.”

“Is this thing true?” someone in the comments section asked.

“Of course it’s true. I heard it from the doctor. Shi Jin can afford it, so there won’t be a problem, but she still did it even though she knew it wasn’t legal. These artistes really do whatever they want because they have money.”

As the matter slowly escalated, there were also people who were skeptical. “Shi Jin is still young. Is there a need to find someone to be her surrogate? Won’t it be the same after a few years?”

“You don’t know what these celebrities are thinking. They just don’t want to have children themselves. They want to find someone to do it for them. They want to have children while they’re young. In a few years, they’ll say that they gave birth to the children themselves. It’ll be so easy and convenient. They’ll have a career and a family.”

“But this is illegal. How can this be?”

“Anyway, if that’s the way she is, I’m going to turn the corner. The gravity of the situation isn’t at all what she thinks it is.”

Once there were more people discussing, the trending searches rose to the top of the rankings.

There were endless denunciations, doubts, and inquiries.

More passers-by scolded, “You’ve already earned so much money, why can’t you bear to part with your career? Aren’t you just afraid of pain and not being able to maintain your figure?”

“Anyway, if it’s true, I’ll just help call the police. Not gonna allow this to happen.”

“Exactly. In any case, it’s everyone’s responsibility to boycott an illegal act.”

Yao Jiahong was extremely anxious, but Shi Jin was calm. “Just deny the rumors. I didn’t do this, so there’s no need to bother too much about it.”

However, such a denial would obviously not satisfy too many people. Shi Jin had to give an explanation.

At this moment, the owner of the anonymous surrogacy agency came out and placed a document that was coded but signed by Shi Jin. “Shi Jin, do you really not want your child anymore? I don’t know what kind of mentality you have. Previously, you found us and claimed that you wanted a child. Now, all of a sudden, you don’t want it anymore. This is a living child. You said that you don’t want it and want the mother to induce labor. You’re too irresponsible!”

If many people had thought that what had happened before was groundless and not real, now that the boss of this agency had come out, many people really believed it.

“They want to induce labor? What the hell are they doing?”

“Shi Jin is considered vicious, right? Could it be that after the truth was discovered, she was afraid that she would be scolded and affect her future career, so she suddenly stopped wanting the child?”

“Shi Jin’s behavior is really irresponsible! This is a child!”

“Late-term induced labor is too, too, too harmful to the mother! It’s not just killing the fetus, it’s also killing the mother! This is really a stone heart!”

“How vicious. To think that she looks so obedient. I didn’t expect her to really be so vicious.”

For a while, Shi Jin was scolded, and the fans could not protect her. They could not argue with so many insults.

Sitting in her office in the studio, Shi Jin did not regret what she was doing.

She had already found out who the boss was and was about to find out who the mother was surrogate for. At that time, the truth would be revealed.

At the knock on the door, she whispered, “Please come in.”

The door opened and Shi Jin looked up to see Fu Xiuyuan enter.

“Hubby, why are you here?” Shi Jin smiled sincerely.

“I came to see you.”

“The Internet is full of awkward jibes. I’m used to it.” Not taking it seriously, Shi Jin told him to sit down. “I’m going home tonight anyway. Won’t it be the same if you saw me then?”

However, seeing the content on the Internet, how could Fu Xiuyuan wait until then?
