Chapter 438 Chapter 438 Brothers in Distress

When Xu Dongyao spoke, Jiang Yu's eyes never left his face.

He wanted to know if Xu Dongyao would lie!

Once he knew that Xu Dongyao was unwilling to admit it, he would take Shen Qinghuan away without hesitation. Even if she was unwilling, he would take her away from Xu Dongyao.

Seeing Xu Dongyao's face full of surprise, Jiang Yu suddenly narrowed his eyes, full of doubts, "Xu Dongyao, she's pregnant, and you don't know anything?"

Xu Dongyao's face was filled with astonishment. "How could I have known that she was pregnant?"

Suddenly thinking of something, his expression changed slightly.

Jiang Yu: "You didn't lie to me?"

Xu Dongyao was furious and couldn't help but push Jiang Yu, his face full of impatience, "Why would I lie to you?! But you, she's pregnant, how can you blame me!"

Suddenly he seemed to have thought of something, and he pulled the corners of his mouth helplessly, the smile on his lips particularly self-deprecating.

"I admit that I really like her, and I have liked her for a long time, but that's all. She doesn't even know how I feel about her, and I don't know where you heard this from!"

Jiang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression changing slightly. Listening to Xu Dongyao's angry and furious words, Jiang Yu's brain was working rapidly, and he suddenly smiled triumphantly.

He hugged Xu Dongyao into his arms and patted his back vigorously. "Sorry! Dongyao, I blamed you wrongly! All your expenses tonight will be charged to my account. I have something else to do, so I have to leave first."

He had to find Shen Qinghuan and shoulder the responsibilities of a father. Even if she was unwilling to forgive him, he was still the father of the baby in his belly.

Jiang Yu dropped the words and left the room impatiently under the stunned and bewildered gazes of the others.

Shi Beichuan tugged at the corner of Xu Dongyao's clothes, nodded at him, and asked with a gossipy look on his face, "What's going on? What do you mean you didn't know Shen Qinghuan was pregnant? Dongyao, explain it to me quickly!"

Xu Dongyao frowned, his face showing some displeasure.

He ignored Shi Beichuan, but straightened his clothes, sat back in the booth, poured himself another full glass of wine, picked it up, and drank it all in one gulp.

Then another full cup followed.

After Xu Dongyao drank three glasses of wine in a row, Shi Beichuan couldn't stand it anymore and snatched the glass from his hand. "Dongyao, don't drink alone all the time! If you have something to say, just say it. What's the point of you drinking alone all the time?"

Xu Dongyao leaned against the backrest dejectedly, his face full of self-mockery.

He had always thought that Shen Qinghuan was divorced, and that he had a chance. He didn't have to rush, he could take his time, and then find a suitable opportunity to confess his feelings to her...

It turns out that all this was just his wishful thinking.

Before he could express his feelings, she reconciled with Jiang Yu.

"Beichuan, I have no chance. I really have no chance this time. I thought, I thought..."

He held his head and cried bitterly.

Shi Beichuan was stunned. It was the first time he saw Xu Dongyao so distraught and in such a miserable state.

He is Lawyer Xu!

He actually made himself like this for a woman!

"Dong Yao, that's not the case! There are so many women in this world. Can't I introduce you to the kind of woman you like? Oh! That's right! If you like someone like Shen Qinghuan, I'll introduce her to you later."

Hearing Shi Beichuan's unreliable words, Xu Dongyao suddenly felt a little angry, "Of course!"

Shi Beichuan pulled the corners of his mouth awkwardly, sighed helplessly and said, "Then what can you do? You can only blame yourself for being too slow. Since you like Shen Qinghuan, you should have taken action earlier. It's not until now..."

"However, it seems that you can't be blamed for this. Ah Yu and Shen Qinghuan grew up together as childhood sweethearts. The relationship between them cannot be replaced by just anyone."

Xu Dongyao ignored him.

In fact, he was well aware of Shen Qinghuan's feelings for Jiang Yu! It was precisely because he knew it so clearly that he wanted to give Shen Qinghuan more time, hoping that she could completely move on from her previous relationship before he confessed his feelings to her.

Seeing Xu Dongyao still sullen and silent, Shi Beichuan couldn't help but speak up, "But then again, with Shen Qinghuan's personality, she's most likely not going to forgive Ayu. Even if the child she's pregnant with is Ayu's, she might not necessarily reconcile with him."

"Do you still remember the kidnapping incident a few years ago? Ah Yu chose to save Li Mingzhu first. This incident has become like a sharp knife, with the sharp end stabbing Shen Qinghuan. How could a woman with her personality allow herself to be hurt in the same way again!"

Xu Dongyao's eyebrows jumped and he turned to look at Shi Beichuan.

Shi Beichuan shrugged, picked up the wine glass, and took a big gulp. "Brother! I don't want to see you alone, so I tell you these words. You have to remember, if you really like someone, you must be sincere to her, unlike me..."

As he spoke, he chuckled a few times to himself.

"Mengmeng has lost her memory. She hasn't forgotten Shen Qinghuan, nor has she forgotten Officer Li. She just forgot me. I've been going to the hospital to see her every day these past few days, but in her eyes, I'm almost a stranger. As for Officer Li, I guess he'll be her boyfriend by the time she's discharged."

"You said, she was like that at the time, how come I didn't notice it!"

"In the final analysis, it was because I didn't pay enough attention to her. If I had thought about it more and observed her more, she wouldn't have..."

Shi Beichuan kept drinking, one glass after another.

Fearing that he might get into trouble if he drank too much, Xu Dongyao quickly stopped him.

"Can you drink less? Do you think she'll know if you drink too much? Even if she does, will she feel bad for you? You've already said she has amnesia and doesn't remember you."

"By the way, aren't you already in contact with the eldest daughter of the Su family? I also heard that you will be engaged by the end of the year."

Shi Beichuan held up his wine glass, and when he smiled, his big teeth were exposed. "You heard about it too? I knew it, it must have been my parents who spread the news. What engagement or not! When did I agree to get engaged? It was them. They thought that Su Nian was good, and they thought the Su family and ours were a good match!"

"How ridiculous! I never agreed to it, but it's already spread everywhere."

Xu Dongyao sighed helplessly, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "There are some very unpleasant rumors about Li Meng. They must have been spread by the Li family. They clearly want to force Li Meng to death."

Shi Beichuan was stunned.

Next second.

There was hatred in his eyes, as if he wanted to kill someone.

"That bastard Li Cheng! He can't rest in peace even after his death! He deserves to die! Even God can't stand it if he doesn't die!"

How wonderful his Li Meng is!

Everything has been fine. If it weren't for Li Cheng, they would definitely be together happily. Even if they were not together, she could still live a good life.

On the other side, after Jiang Yu left the Forbidden City, he went straight to Shen Qinghuan's house.

The child is his, he must find out clearly. Even if Shen Qinghuan is unwilling to reconcile with him, he has to shoulder the responsibility of a father.

That's his child! How could he let his child be born without a father? He wanted to grow up with his child, let him feel his father's love from a young age, and let him never lack fatherly love.
