Chapter 88 The Child Cannot Stay

Shao Ting'an pushed her away, his face gradually turning cold, "How can you get pregnant at this time?"

She said this with a look of innocence and bewilderment on her face. "I was young and didn't understand. My period hadn't come yet, and I'd been so nervous lately that I ignored it. Then I noticed some weight on my belly, which I thought was unusual, so I went to the hospital."

Shao Ting'an stared at her, seemingly unconvinced. "Haven't you been taking medicine?"

"I don't know either."

As she spoke, tears as big as beans fell down, looking very pitiful.

Shao Tingan was upset and said coldly, "Stop crying. How long has it been?"

"The doctor said it's been over three months. I haven't had my period in two months, so how can it be three months?"

"We can't keep the baby. Go to the hospital and have it aborted tomorrow."

"What if the hospital wants proof of marriage? I'm not married, and news spreads quickly."

"Then let's go to the clinic."

Shao Ting'an knew that he couldn't keep the child. Now Su Li had caught him and Zhao Xinran in the act. If he had another child, it would be like putting a knife in her hand.

"Brother Ting'an, you know my blood type is quite special. If I'm not careful, I could die."

Zhao Xinran's tears fell even faster. It was not easy to convince Shao Tingan, but she had to find a way to make him accept the child.

The child is her only bargaining chip.

Shao Ting'an stared at her with a ferocious expression, "So you want me to die with you, right?"

"Brother Ting'an, it's not as bad as you think." Zhao Xinran suppressed her grievance and whispered to comfort him, "The police have no evidence. Su Li can only say that our relationship was improper. When she comes back for the New Year, I will move so that she can't find me. I will write a letter to the school teacher saying that my mother is not well and cannot come back to class on time. I will take two months off. That way, the baby will be born."

"We're being watched. Do you think you can get away?"

"I can buy a ticket home, get off halfway, and then come back quietly. That way I can escape their surveillance."

Although Shao Ting'an was angry, his mind was still working quickly. Zhao Xinran had a special blood type, and if something really happened, it would be difficult to deal with.

If Zhao Xinpeng finds out, he might bite him back.

Now that I think about it, the juvenile detention center is really not a good place for Zhao Xinpeng. It's like a landmine buried for him.

"There are still two months of winter vacation left. During this time, you must be careful not to let others see it." Shao Ting'an instructed, "Su Li will be back next month. I'll find an opportunity to take you to the hospital in the provincial capital for surgery."

Zhao Xinran thought she had persuaded him, but he still insisted on having an abortion, which made her feel disappointed.

Her younger brother has been implicated and is in a juvenile detention center. If the child can no longer be saved and Shao Ting'an really wants to dump her, there is nothing she can do. After all, she is also involved in Su Danian's affairs.

It seems that I have to make other plans.

"Brother Ting'an, I'll listen to you."

She leaned against him softly, without any resentment or unwillingness, but was obedient, which made him feel distressed.

Shao Ting'an felt soft-hearted when he saw her. After all, she was the woman who had been with him, but he hadn't gained any benefits from her and was living in fear. If they had a child, he would have to find ways to abort it.

Thinking of this, he held her in his arms and comforted her gently, "When I become the factory director and divorce Su Li, we can have children openly."

Su Li obviously wouldn't get along with him, but he wouldn't let her go easily either. Now he had to calm Zhao Xinran down and coax her into beating the child first.

Zhao Xinran knows how to read people's faces best, especially Shao Tingan. If she didn't know him well enough, she wouldn't have been able to successfully hook up with him.

So she didn't hold any hope for Shao Ting'an's words. She had to fight for what she wanted. She wanted both a man and a child.

What's more, why do we still rely on him for Zhao Xinpeng's matter?

In the middle of December, the school was on vacation, Su Li completed her courses and returned to Pingjiang.

Since her father was in the hospital, she stayed there directly. Shao Ting'an was upset these days and didn't have the energy to deal with her even after visiting her.

Recently, Liu Hongmei has changed from open attacks to covert teasing.

She knew that Su Li was not at home, so she followed him to the factory every day and brought him lunch.

Originally he was reluctant to accept, and when someone brought him food, he pretended to be stupid and followed her. As a result, the photo that was stuffed into his mouth that day was picked up by Liu Hongmei.

It can be said that she has now grasped Shao Tingan's weakness.

That’s not all. Su Mingde said that the police found the person who sobered up on the other side of the river on the night Su Danian had the accident.

He was not sure whether the drunk man could recognize Zhao Xinpeng, and Zhao Xinpeng was now completely out of his control.

The only thing to be thankful for now is that Zhao Xinpeng has not been suspected yet, and the words of a drunkard cannot be used as evidence.

Ever since he knew that Zhao Xinran was pregnant, Shao Tingan had been avoiding her, fearing that he would be criticized.

In order to avoid being seen, Zhao Xinran moved house. His money was almost gone and his life fell into despair for a while.

After the holiday, she found a part-time job in a food factory, but the hardships of life made her breathless.

I once longed to be like a city girl, beautiful, relaxed, and a real city dweller, but step by step I returned to the time when I first came to Pingjiang.

She was unwilling to accept it.

So she blocked Shao Ting'an on his way home from get off work. He was the only person she could get.

On Thursday night, he worked overtime until very late. Just as he was about to leave, Liu Hongmei came over with a smile and said, "Ting'an, could you please give me a ride? My bike is broken."

Shao Ting'an was a little helpless with her now. Her intentions were very clear. If he turned against her, he was afraid that she would tell others.

After thinking about it, Shao Ting'an looked at her and smiled, she was just a woman!

So he drove Liu Hongmei out of the factory.

It was the first time Liu Hongmei sat behind him. She had envied Su Li so much for being able to sit behind him openly and hug his waist.

Now she finally had her chance.

Liu Hongmei slowly reached out and hugged Shao Ting'an, a happy smile on her lips.

Shao Ting'an took a deep breath and rode forward as if he didn't feel anything.

Just after passing the small woods outside the factory, Zhao Xinran turned around and walked over.

In the moonlight, she saw that it was Shao Ting'an, and there seemed to be someone behind him, so she became alert instantly.

"Brother Tin-an!"

Shao Ting'an and Liu Hongmei obviously didn't expect her to appear at this time, and their hearts skipped a beat.

"Why are you here so late?"

Shao Ting'an looked at her belly, which was already very obvious, and felt a little impatient.

He stopped his bike and Liu Hongmei had to get off.

She was still shocked when she saw Zhao Xinran.

“You, you actually…”

Liu Hongmei was filled with shame and anger. She had just made some progress with Shao Tingan, but she didn't expect that the country bumpkin would have such a big belly.

She didn't know what to say and walked away.

"Xinran, I have thirty yuan here. Take it and go to the intersection to pick up a tricycle and go back. I'll come find you tomorrow night."

Shao Ting'an was in a dilemma, and Liu Hongmei had to be comforted. If she told anyone, the factory director would not let him off easily.

Thinking of this, he looked at Zhao Xinran's belly even more irritatingly.

"Hongmei, I'll give it to you."

Zhao Xinran always thought that Shao Tingan was angry and ignored her, but she never expected that he would be so close to Liu Hongmei.

And he even left me to see her off!

She tightly grasped the thirty yuan in her hand, raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and stared at the two people in front of her with viciousness in her eyes.

Shao Tingan can only be hers!

Shao Ting'an put Zhao Xinran aside and pursued Liu Hongmei, which made her feel very comfortable.

She hugged his waist tightly and greedily sniffed the faint smell of tobacco on Shao Ting'an, which made her a little intoxicated.

She had finally waited for this moment. Shao Tingan, whom she could only watch from afar, was now in her arms.

This made her more determined to replace Su Li.

"Ting'an, ride slower, I'm a little cold." Liu Hongmei said coquettishly, deliberately pressing her body closer.

Shao Ting'an's body stiffened slightly, but he did not push her away.

He knew in his heart that Liu Hongmei had something on him and he couldn't offend her easily.

Zhao Xinran stared blankly at the two people in front of him, clenched the thirty yuan in his hand, his nails dug deep into his flesh, but he didn't feel any pain.

There was only a bone-chilling coldness that spread from the soles of my feet to my entire body.

She was unwilling to accept this. Why should she live this kind of life of hiding and not having enough food to eat?

But Shao Ting'an can be affectionate with other women and have no worries about food and clothing?

Zhao Xinran turned and walked forward, stopped a tricycle at the intersection, and headed towards the street police station where Liu Hongmei's home was.
