Chapter 70 Are you pregnant?
Gu Yunting looked at Jiang Shiyi who was crying in front of him, and his mind was full of the words Su Mengxue had said to her.
"Gu Yunting, if you are forced to marry a woman you don't like, it will only waste your lives."
Gu Yunting's Adam's apple moved with difficulty for a few times, and he said apologetically, "Shi Yi, I'm willing to give everything I have to make it up to you, but I can't agree to this one thing."
Seeing Gu Yunting's firm attitude, Jiang Shiyi sneered. She pulled out the scissors that she had hidden under her pillow, pulled open his collar with force, and put the tip of the knife against his neck.
Gu Yunting didn't expect Jiang Shiyi to be so extreme. He took half a step forward in a hurry, but the moment she pressed the blade into his skin, he froze in place and dared not move.
"Brother Yunting, are you so cruel? Do you really want to see me die?" Jiang Shiyi's eyes were filled with tears, and his voice trembled: "The day I was abused in the countryside, all I could think about was that you would come to save me..."
Gu Yunting looked directly into the despair in her eyes and said in a deep voice, "Shi Yi, I was the one who lost you back then. I could even give you my life as compensation, but using marriage as a way to atone for my sin and letting you marry a man who doesn't love you is irresponsible to me."
Jiang Shiyi's fingers unconsciously clenched the scissors tightly, and the blade instantly drew a tiny bloody mark on the side of his neck. "You said you were willing to give everything to make it up to me, but you won't even give me a name. In the end, you just despise me because I was defiled by someone else!"
Gu Yunting whispered to comfort him, "Shi Yi, I never looked down on you. Don't be stuck in the past. Can you start over?"
"That's easy to say! Who would marry a woman who has been abused? Gu Yunting, I just want to ask you one question: do you want to marry me?"
Gu Yunting's eyebrows moved slightly, and then he replied firmly: "Shi Yi, I can't marry you."
Jiang Shiyi's eyes suddenly turned cold. She stood up and walked a few steps to Gu Yunting, pressing the scissors against his heart. The sharp tip of the knife instantly pierced his shirt, and blood soon oozed out.
The corners of her lips curled up in a mocking arc. "Gu Yunting, since you want to compensate me with your life, fine, I'll give you two choices now. Either marry me and repay the debt you owed me, or I'll pierce your heart right now. I have no face to live anyway, so we can go together and keep each other company in the underworld!"
Gu Yunting didn't dodge at all. He straightened his back and looked directly into Jiang Shiyi's bloodshot eyes. He repeated, "Shiyi, I have someone else in my heart. I can't marry you."
"Are you sure?" Jiang Shiyi's voice was almost squeezed out from between her teeth. She pushed the scissors forward a little more forcefully, her eyes burning with almost paranoid madness: "Gu Yunting, say it again?"
Gu Yunting groaned, blood oozing from his chest, but he remained calm and said, "Shi Yi, I can't marry you."
The air froze for a moment. Jiang Shiyi suddenly pulled out the scissors and threw them against the wall. Then he fell to the ground, curled up in a ball with his head in his hands, and cried heartbreakingly: "Why...why can't you let me have my wish? How am I worse than her..."
Then, the door of the room was pushed open with force.
Liu Hui saw Gu Yunting covered in blood, then turned to look at Shi Yi, who was sitting on the ground crying. She cried out in alarm and urgently ordered Jiang Weilong behind her, "Weilong, take Yunting to the hospital immediately."
As she spoke, she quickly ran towards Shi Yi, hugged her in her arms, and cried and persuaded her: "Shi Yi, Jiangbei is not the only man like Gu Yunting. There are many good men. If anything happens to you again, Mom will not live anymore."
…
By the time Gu Yunting finished examining his wound, applied medicine, and was wheeled into the ward, it was almost dawn. Before leaving, Jiang Weilong asked, "Gu Yunting, have you really made up your mind?"
Gu Yunting understood what he was talking about. There was no hesitation in his dark eyes as he said decisively, "Yes, if I want to get married in the future, it can only be with her."
Jiang Weilong looked at Gu Yunting's pale and stubborn face, which exuded a cold aura. He clenched his fists and said word by word: "Gu Yunting, I hope you won't regret your decision today." After that, he strode away angrily.
Gu Yunting knew Jiang Weilong's character. He was not afraid that Jiang Weilong would deal with him, but he was afraid that Jiang Weilong would take his anger out on Su Mengxue. He frowned, his mind full of thoughts about how to protect Su Mengxue.
Su Mengxue, who knew nothing about this, got up at dawn to cut the cloth. The master treated her so well that she thought of helping him with some more work before leaving the store.
She was busy in the store for a few days, and soon it was the day for her competition with Xu Jianian.
She got up early that day, washed and dressed, and then thought of going out to eat something before catching the bus. She informed the old man and went out, but unexpectedly she ran into Lu Yuanzhou at the corner as soon as she went out.
Su Mengxue saw that he was holding a thermos in his hand, and it was obvious that he was here to find her.
She thought of what happened last time, paused, and asked unnaturally: "Lu Yuanzhou, are you here to see me?"
Lu Yuanzhou lowered his head and rubbed the corner of his clothes, his ears reddening: "Mengxue, my mother was too harsh last time. I'm here to apologize to you on her behalf."
This matter had nothing to do with Lu Yuanzhou. Su Mengxue curled her lips towards Lu Yuanzhou and pretended to be indifferent and replied, "Don't take it to heart. I forgot about it a long time ago."
Seeing her like this, Lu Yuanzhou felt even more guilty.
He quickly handed the thermos bucket to her with both hands and said ingratiatingly, "Mengxue, have you eaten yet? I asked Auntie to make you some sweet and sour spare ribs. They're still warm."
Su Mengxue had been feeling uncomfortable in her stomach for the past few days, so she hadn't eaten properly. Now she was hungry, and sweet and sour pork ribs were a rare commodity in this era of material scarcity, so she couldn't help swallowing.
She looked at Lu Yuanzhou's awkward and expectant eyes, and thought to herself that it was not his fault. He had specially come to bring her food early in the morning, and she should not have rejected his face.
She nodded and smiled: "Lu Yuanzhou, thank you."
Seeing this, Lu Yuanzhou immediately smiled with relief. He quickly opened the lid of the bucket and stuffed the chopsticks into her hand.
Su Mengxue had just approached the bucket when she suddenly felt sick to her stomach at the smell of the meat. She pushed the bucket back into Lu Yuanzhou's hands, covered her mouth with her hands, and quickly ran to the public toilet.
When she came out of the public toilet after vomiting, she saw Lu Yuanzhou looking at her solemnly, and asked in a trembling voice: "Mengxue, you...how long have you been in this state?"
Su Mengxue replied nonchalantly, "Maybe I've been too busy these past few days and haven't had regular meals, so I've been feeling a little uncomfortable in my stomach these past few days."
How many days? Lu Yuanzhou grabbed her and left without saying anything: "Mengxue, I'll take you to the hospital for a checkup now."
Su Mengxue had already accepted Xu Jianian's money. She was only thinking about going to Jiangbei Fashion Institute to compete with him. She quickly broke free from Lu Yuanzhou's hand and waved him off, saying, "Lu Yuanzhou, I'm really fine. Go back to work. I still have to go to the Fashion Institute."
Su Mengxue turned and walked out, but she heard Lu Yuanzhou's suppressed voice behind her: "Mengxue, are you... pregnant?"
