Chapter 114 How is this possible?

Are you happy?

Ana Shen’s face was darker than the bottom of a pot, and he had never felt as nauseous as he did today.

He was already humiliated by not being able to sleep with Lin Mengyao, and now he had to acknowledge the child she was carrying with someone else.

He forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, "Happy."

Shen Chengyuan almost lost control of the pipe in his hand. "You... say it again, you..."

Qiu Lian's face was filled with horror, and she muttered, "This... How is this possible..."

Lin Mengyao didn't understand why they all had this attitude, as if they didn't welcome the arrival of this child at all.

Could it be that they would rather raise Shen Yujuan than acknowledge their own grandson?

Your brain must have been squeezed by the door!

Lu Hui took two steps back, clenched her palms, tears welled up in her eyes, but she remained calm, "Since my sister-in-law is pregnant now, then just pretend I never mentioned Xiaojuan."

Lin Mengyao couldn't help but rolled her eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to her.

Seeing the turn of events, Shen Chengzhong snorted coldly and walked away.

When Lu Hui was about to leave, she looked towards Shen Chengyuan with an aggrieved face, and there seemed to be some reluctance in her eyes.

"Third brother——Xiaohui——"

Qiu Lian ran out to chase them, "I'm so sorry... We didn't expect this..."

Lu Hui stood at the door and paused. "It's not your fault for what happened to Auntie. I was too rash. I should have asked my sister-in-law first... It's normal for her to be upset after approaching her so rashly. Please help me put in a good word for her when you go back. Even if I've let her down today..."

Qiu Lian sighed softly, "How can I blame you for this? Originally, my old man saw that Xiaojuan was well-behaved and sensible, so he wanted to adopt her... I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

"It's okay, it's getting late. My father-in-law and I will go back first... Aunt, you should go in too. Stay!"

Lu Hui waved her hand, strode out of the door, and blended into the night.

Qiu Lian stood at the door for a long time, unable to calm down the irritation in her heart. How could she let Lin Mengyao get pregnant!

Since the wedding night, the person who consummated the marriage with Lin Mengyao has been Li Gui from the village, and this matter can be regarded as a secret that cannot be leaked.

What I really didn’t expect was that Lin Mengyao could get pregnant!

It was her fault for being negligent. She should have given her some medicine to drink.

Now that the child Lin Mengyao is pregnant with is not from their Shen family, they cannot keep it!

In her opinion, the best strategy would be to adopt Shen Yujuan.

Inside the house, Shen Nanfeng felt sour, bitter, and resentful. When he thought about his wife being pregnant with someone else's child, the feeling of humiliation made him breathless.

But he couldn't lose his temper.

I didn't even dare to tell Lin Mengyao about this.

"It's getting late. Since you're pregnant, go back to your room and rest." Shen Chengyuan sat on a stool, took a few puffs of cigarette, and then said slowly: "Starting tomorrow, don't go to work, stay at home and take care of the baby."

As soon as Qiu Lian entered the house, she heard what her old man said. Her face changed drastically. What did he mean?

Are you really going to let Lin Mengyao give birth to this bastard?

Lin Mengyao was a little surprised. She thought her parents-in-law were unhappy that she was pregnant!

But her father-in-law's words completely dispelled her doubts.

That's right!

Who would abandon their own granddaughter and go and love someone else's child?

I'm not a fool.

Lin Mengyao took the initiative to hold Shen Nanfeng’s hand, and said sweetly to Shen Chengyuan: “Thank you for your consideration, father-in-law, I will definitely give birth to a big fat boy for our family!”

Shen Nanfeng's body stiffened, and he urged with a fake smile on his face: "Go back to the house."

Lin Mengyao didn't notice anything strange about Shen Nanfeng. She thought he was just a little shy in front of his parents and wanted to go back to the house to have some fun with her.

After all, he worked so hard many late nights.

When she woke up in the morning, she found many traces of him on her body, and thought that he must also want a child.

The children of his age in the village can already help with cooking.

As soon as the couple left, Qiu Lian couldn't help but push Shen Chengyuan, "Do you really want to stay with that bastard? Are you crazy?"

Shen Chengyuan glanced at her with dissatisfaction, "You better keep your mouth shut, what a bastard, if someone hears it, who knows what crazy things they will think!"

Qiu Lian quickly covered her mouth, looked towards Lin Mengyao's room in fear, and said in a low voice: "I didn't say anything wrong! I don't care! My son has suffered so much injustice, do we have to raise a child for others?"

When thinking of that substitute, Qiu Lian couldn't help but spit, "That brat really got away with it!"

Shen Chengyuan's voice was low, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry. "Don't act on your own in this matter. Third brother and the others all know about what happened today. You can't hide it even if you want to."

"I don't care!" Qiu Lian waved her hands, her chest heaving up and down in anger.

Shen Chengyuan held up his pipe and knocked on the table, "Stop making a scene here! Since this child is here, let him stay. Xiaojuan can be raised, so why can't this one be raised?"

"Do you think you can hide this from Li Gui? If he finds out that you killed his child, and the situation gets out of hand, no one will be able to have an easy life!"

Qiu Lian's heart tightened. "What do you mean? Are you really going to let Lin Mengyao give birth to the baby? And then adopt Xiaojuan?"

Shen Chengyuan made up his mind, "This is the best way now. Just treat Xiaojuan as our own child. As for the one in her belly, she will take care of it herself. You don't need to worry about it. As long as we know which child has the blood of our Shen family, it is enough."

Qiu Lian clenched her palms with both hands and gritted her teeth, "Okay! I'll listen to you!"

As if she had thought of something, she asked with some concern: "But now she's pregnant, how can she agree to adopt Xiaojuan?"

Shen Chengyuan stood up and said, "You don't need to worry about this. I will go and tell her."

"OK."

···

On the other side, Lin Ziqiu and the other person chatted while working, so the time was not too unbearable.

Ruan Qing panted tiredly, leaned against the wall and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Have you dealt with the newspaper?"

Lin Ziqiu threw a bag of rice into the corner with great effort and shook his head. "The boss of the newspaper has gone to another province and said he won't be back until next week, but we still have time."

"It's okay. If you can't make it in time, I can go to other newspapers and make preparations."

Ruan Qing rubbed his nose, his face was covered with dust, "Are your grandma and her family staying in the capital for the New Year, or are they coming back?"

"If you ask me, you'd better not come back. This way you can avoid it."

Lin Ziqiu thought so too, but in fact, not long after her grandmother went to the capital, she called and said that she couldn't adapt to the life there and didn't even have anyone to talk to.

Zhong Xueyuan goes to work during the day, and she takes care of the two children at home.

She couldn't do farm work or grow vegetables. She was a person who couldn't sit still. Plus, the cost of living there was higher than at home, so she wanted to spend frugally and save the money for Siyu's medical treatment. So every time she went to buy vegetables, she felt painful for a long time.
