After listening, Sun Xiaorui remained silent for a moment, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "The job was indeed not bought for me by my family, but by Yang Chen."

Upon hearing this, Su He and the others immediately perked up.

"Oh? Then why did he buy you a job? Didn't you say before that you had broken up and weren't in contact anymore?"

Sun Xiaorui lowered her head and remained silent for a long time, seemingly finding it difficult to speak, but finally she said, "Because this job was the compensation he gave me when we broke up."

"Compensation? You need to give me a job as compensation just for breaking up?" Zhou Yan asked, somewhat incredulously.

“Because I was pregnant with his child before, and he didn’t want it, so he promised to find me a job, but on the condition that I couldn’t keep the child and that I couldn’t use it to threaten him later.”

Everyone was stunned when he said that.

No one expected there to be such inside information, and Sun Xiaorui actually revealed it.

Su He thought back to what had happened and understood somewhat, "So your previous illness wasn't menstrual cramps, but a miscarriage?"

“Yes,” Sun Xiaorui nodded.

Su He still frowned; the timing was too coincidental. "When exactly did you miscarry? How did you miscarry?"

Sun Xiaorui didn't hide anything and carefully said, "When we parted that day, I told him I was pregnant. He was very angry and told me to abort the child and not to try to use it to cling to him."

I didn't want to marry him at the time, but he said he wouldn't marry me and that if I obediently aborted the child, he would compensate me.

But if I keep pestering him, given his family's power, I'll definitely end up with nothing, and my parents might even get implicated.

I was terrified, so I agreed and asked him for the job.

He agreed. When I got home, I didn't dare wait any longer, so I told my mom. The next day, my mom went and bought me some abortion pills. After taking them, the baby was expelled..."

Su He and the others frowned again upon hearing this.

So if what she said is true, then the job was compensation, not hush money, which contradicts the previous speculation.

"Then you..." Su He wanted to ask why you hid it before, but even if she didn't ask, she understood now. It was simply because Sun Xiaorui was, after all, a virgin, and it was not easy to say such things.

However, this was only her side of the story. After that, they asked her for more details and conducted further investigations, which confirmed that what she said matched her account.

They did find records at the hospital indicating that Sun Xiaorui had secretly gone to check for pregnancy, and although the abortion was performed at home, they also obtained information about buying the medication after inquiring with Sun's parents.

The abortion pills were bought by Sun's mother at the hospital. The family had many children, and the daughter-in-law was pregnant but didn't want to give birth, so they went to the hospital for an abortion. Medical abortion was cheaper than surgery, so they chose medical abortion.

She happened to run into Sun's mother when she was buying the medicine. Sun's mother bought the medicine from her for double the price. The woman was very happy and sold it to her without hesitation. She then went back to the doctor and bought another dose herself.

Of course, Sun's mother did this not for her daughter's reputation, though that could be considered one of them, but her initial intention was to "sell" her for a good price later.

However, they didn't know at the time that there would be compensation for their jobs. Sun Xiaorui didn't tell them about it, but instead scared them by saying that the other party would not acknowledge the compensation and that their family was powerful. She said that if things got out of hand, they would lose their jobs.

Sun's parents were so frightened that they didn't dare to make a scene and even bought her abortion pills.
