May I Be Like a Star, You Like Dust

Others marry into wealthy families for love, but she married into one purely for money. The man she married didn't love her and kicked her out with nothing. Now, struggling to make ends meet, s...

Chapter 21 Why are there men in the world?

Long Tingwei was overjoyed and at a loss for words. He was already thirty years old and had never imagined that he would suddenly have another child.

"Xue'er, what do you want to eat? I'll have someone make it for you. From now on, you don't need to do anything. Just stay home and rest, okay?"

I'll have all the sharp edges of the cabinets and chairs in this house covered to prevent you from bumping into them. Also, I'll prepare our baby's room nicely. What kind of decoration would you like?

Oh dear, we still don't know if it's a boy or a girl, but it doesn't matter, I'll love you whether it's a boy or a girl. I'll carry you upstairs to rest now!

Long Tingwei had never been so talkative or noisy before, which showed how happy he was.

Ling Yuexue felt extremely depressed. If this child were really Long Tingwei's child, how wonderful that would be! Then she wouldn't have tried so hard to abandon him, and she wouldn't have seen Long Tingwei's disappointed face.

Their bedroom was on the second floor, but the second floor of Long Tingwei's villa was quite high. Perhaps fearing that Ling Yuexue might accidentally twist her ankle and fall, Long Tingwei took the initiative to take her upstairs.

This situation cannot continue indefinitely. Long Tingwei has decided to install an elevator in the stairwell so that people can simply take the elevator downstairs.

"Xue'er, I'm so happy. If Grandpa knew, he would be delighted too. This is his great-grandson. Even if he was dissatisfied with you in the past, he wouldn't say anything for the sake of this child."

"Xue'er, let's go abroad in a few days to visit Grandpa and bring him back, okay?"

Last time, Long Tingwei took it upon himself to send the old man abroad, and the old man never called him once. He tried to call his grandfather, but the old man never answered. He also called Uncle Ming, but Uncle Ming didn't answer either.

He thought his grandfather was still angry with him for wanting to divorce Jian Mujin, but feelings couldn't be forced, and the person he loved was Xue'er.

I believe that taking Xue'er there this time will calm Grandpa down considerably. Then he can hold a grand wedding, and the old man's anger will eventually subside.

"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Ling Yuexue smiled gently, a little nervous and shy. But in her heart, she was wondering where Jian Mujin had gone.

Meanwhile, Jian Mujin was bored and alone in the underground warehouse. She was now living a life like a pigsty, eating and sleeping all day long.

Life couldn't be more pleasant. This kind of simple and contented life is what she wants. The only downside is that she doesn't have any money.

Feeling a bit hungry, she boiled some water and started making instant noodles.

For some reason, the pungent smell of the instant noodles made Jian Mujin feel nauseous and want to vomit as soon as she opened the package.

"What's going on? Did you eat too much instant noodles? What else can we eat if not instant noodles? There's nothing left to eat!"

Jian Mujin shook her head, ignoring the nausea. After soaking the food, she took a bite and immediately vomited it out.

Besides the instant noodles I just ate, there was also foul-smelling sour water.

"Could it be expired?" Jian Mujin picked up the instant noodles and looked at them. No, they were fresh.

It seems she really ate too much instant noodles. Jian Mujin then grabbed some other snacks to eat, but she threw up halfway through.

Jian Mujin was completely distraught. She immediately called Xixi, "Hey, I think I have food poisoning, come quick, I'm dying!"

Three good friends rushed over immediately. Seeing her pale face, they thought she had a fever again. These were all newly bought snacks, how could she have food poisoning?

She touched her head and found she didn't have a fever. Seeing her listless appearance, she said, "You eat instant noodles every day? That won't do. Your stomach can't take it. We'll take you to the clinic and buy you some food when we get back!"

Jian Mujin nodded without saying anything. She was feeling really unwell. She had vomited once, felt dizzy, and had a tightness in her chest.

When they arrived at the small clinic, the doctor was a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. He noticed that Jian Mujin was not feeling well and offered to take her pulse, so Jian Mujin extended her hand.

He paused for a moment and said, "It's a slippery pulse!"

"What is a slippery pulse?" Jian Mujin hadn't studied much in school, so she really didn't know what a slippery pulse meant.

The doctor wasn't sure either, "You should buy a pregnancy test and try it."

Jian Mujin didn't want to spend money, but Haha took it upon himself to buy her one, and then looked at her intently.

"What's wrong? How do I use this?"

Jian Mujin was somewhat puzzled by the looks they gave her.

The three didn't say anything, only telling her to go to the restroom to test it. Jian Mujin used it as they instructed, then disgustedly squeezed the thing, saying, "This thing is used like this? You guys should check if I have a terminal illness! I've thought about it too, if I have a terminal illness, I won't get treatment, I'll just go home and wait to die!"

The three men stared helplessly at the two thin red lines on her belly, saying, "If you want to die, you should at least ask the one in your belly if it wants to die too!"

"My stomach?" Jian Mujin touched her stomach. "There's nothing in my stomach!"

The three of them were utterly impressed, and fearing that the doctor would laugh at them, they pulled her out to explain.

"What did you say? I'm pregnant?" Jian Mujin's voice was so loud that it made people laugh out loud.

"Think carefully about who you've been with, and whose child is in your belly?"

All three knew that Jian Mujin had no other friends here besides them. She had been in the underground warehouse for the past two weeks and had never come out. So the problem could only be with the Long family.

"Could it be Long Tingwei's?" Xi Xi asked suspiciously.

However, they also saw Long Tingwei's attitude. He absolutely loved Ling Yuexue to the core, but he despised Dan'er to the extreme, so it was unlikely.

Jian Mujin also said that after he beat her up, he threw her outside.

"Could it be that the guy we caught at the hotel before tore my clothes?!"

The sharp-tongued man immediately smacked her, exasperated, "What are you thinking? You think you can get pregnant just by tearing your clothes?!"

"Then how do you define pregnancy? The pigs at my third grandfather's house give birth every so often, and any female pig can get pregnant. Can't I get pregnant when my time comes? Do you have to say whose it is? It's mine, isn't that enough?"

The three of them were so surprised by her words that they burst into laughter, laughing so hard they were bent over.

"I ask you, why are there men in the world?"

"Let them earn money for women!"

"Then why did you say last time that the woman surnamed Ling was two-timing and even took photos?"

"Because that's how it's portrayed on TV!"

"Then why do men and women get married?"

"Oh, I know! This child is Long Tingwei's! We got our marriage certificate, so my child is his child!" Jian Mujin slapped her thigh, glad that she had realized it.

The three of them were speechless.

This little girl, who never studied properly and only knew how to fight and cause trouble, grew up one day and didn't even know where children came from.

"Have you ever asked your mom where you came from?" Hehe decided to ask one last time!

“My mom never said that, but my grandpa said I was fished out of the river!”
