Furthermore, she still had to work and keep the company stable. And that was not all; Xi Mucheng was eying the company covetously. Pregnancy would limit her too much. If he suddenly made a move to attack her somehow, it would be too dangerous.

  Ning Shu came out of the equipment ward while covering her stomach, which was a little bloated. The egg retrieval procedure didn’t take long.

  After the egg retrieval, Ning Shu didn’t stop to rest. Through a professional agency, she contacted a surrogate mother who was young and healthy.

  Then, Ning Shu headed to the sperm bank to select high-quality sperm.

  Ning Shu picked the sperm of an elite member of the society. She had discovered that a child would inherit not only his parents’ DNA but also their personality.

  Shi Sinan’s personality was just like her father’s—romantic and affectionate. The pursuit of love was something that was simply carved in her bones.

  Most of those that could become the elite of society were self-disciplined and self-controlled; otherwise, why would they be called elite?

  After choosing the right sperm, the egg was fertilized. When fertilization was successful, it would be implanted in the body of the surrogate mother.

  Ning Shu chose to conceive a boy since it was way too hard for a girl to inherit the company in the future.

  No matter what, women were the underdogs; there was no denying that. They would always be ostracized and ridiculed on the battlefield of men.

  For them, it was twice as hard to hold up a company than it was for a man.

  From this moment on, one of Shi Lina’s children was conceiving.

  The surrogate mother was under the care of a special agency. It paid attention to the surrogate mother’s physical condition, enabling her to give birth to a healthy and smart child.

  It cost a lot of money to surrogate for such a child, but it was worth it.

  Ning Shu would occasionally visit the surrogate mother and channel a bit of spiritual energy into her body.

  After the egg retrieval, Ning Shu’s body was uncomfortable for a while. This was the aftermath of the procedure. In fact, the egg retrieval was harmful to a woman’s body.

  Luckily, with the Unsurpassable Martial Arts’s energy slowly repairing her body, it wasn’t too uncomfortable.

  Ning Shu stayed in the hospital most of the time. She then went to work the next day, basically not returning to the villa.

  The villa had become a vacation spot for Xi Mucheng and Shi Sinan, just like a paradise on earth.

  Shi Sinan also didn’t call to check up on her grandfather or ask why her mother was not home. She was presumably playing with Xi Mucheng and forgot everything.

  Women sometimes didn’t even care about their lives for men. Their loved ones or anything else didn’t matter. Their hearts were so big that they could still accommodate their enemies, even if their loved ones were killed by the other party.

  Ning Shu sneered. Go ahead and play; the more fun you had, the better.

  Life was too short, so one must enjoy oneself.

  Ning Shu stayed in the hospital to take care of the old man, who wasn’t in good spirits and spent the day mostly sleeping.

  During the day, Ning Shu went to work again. For now, her world revolved around the hospital and the company.

  As soon as Ning Shu arrived at the office, the secretary informed her, “CEO, the vice president is here today.”


  Ning Shu raised an eyebrow. Why wasn’t he hanging out with Shi Sinan?

  “The vice president has drawn up a proposal for a partnership with HJ company. They want to develop a new energy source,” said the secretary.

  Ning Shu just smirked. This HJ was Xi Mucheng’s company, and developing a new energy source was merely a front for burning money.

  It was just an excuse to pull money out of the company. Now that a couple of Xi Mucheng’s clubs had been shut down and a company was suspected of tax evasion, things were a bit bad for him right now.

  So, to him, the Shi company was just stupid and money-rich, and he could take whatever he wanted? And after taking money, he still scolded the Shi family in his heart, thinking that they owed him?

  He sure thought highly of himself. What the hell did the Shi company owe him?
