Time ticked by, and Ye Yu and Ye Luo's anxiety caused them to frequently glance at the operating room, though their thoughts were at odds.
About two hours later, the operating room lights went out, and the doctor wheeled Jiang Xiu out.
"Doctor! How is the baby?" Ye Yu asked impatiently.
"I'm sorry, we did our best, but the baby was already dead when it was delivered via cesarean section."
"What?!"
These words struck Jiang Xiu like a bolt from the blue, but in her dazed state, she breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that the child was gone; at least there was no way to prove anything.
But before she could even rejoice, Ye Yu made a request to the doctor that terrified her.
"I want to see the child."
The anesthesia hadn't worn off yet, but those words instantly sobered Jiang Xiu, and she used her last bit of strength to grab Ye Yu's hand.
"Our child died so unjustly. Let him rest in peace. He was a boy. He could have continued the Ye family line. It was all because of your vicious daughter, Ye Luo. She killed our son with her own hands!"
Jiang Xiu, weak and hoarse, tried to shift the focus of the conflict onto Ye Luo.
She almost succeeded. Ye Yu was indeed moved. Looking into Ye Luo's eyes, he wished he could kill her. They didn't seem like father and daughter, but more like enemies!
"Dad, you should... confirm that matter first, then settle accounts with me." Ye Luo swallowed hard, trying to persuade himself.
"I'll settle the score with you later!"
He threw down a harsh remark, pushed Jiang Xiu's hand away, and looked at the doctor with unwavering determination.
"Where's the child? Let me see him!"
"Comrade Ye, this..." The doctor exchanged glances, but finally gave in and reminded him, "You can see him, but the child is a little... You need to be mentally prepared. He's different from other children. Have you thought it through?"
"I've made up my mind, let me see."
"good."
"don't want……"
Jiang Xiu was drenched in cold sweat and frantically tried to grab his hand, but all her attempts failed.
The moment the doctor lifted the white sheet, the air fell eerily quiet.
"A ghost!"
Ye Luo reacted more strongly than anyone else. When she saw the deformed fetus, she almost jumped three feet high and quickly grabbed Ye Yu's arm.
"Dad, see? I told you I was right."
He was so angry that his nostrils flared. Apart from being a deformed fetus, he knew all too well that this child was nothing like him!
He covered the child with the white cloth and said hatefully to Jiang Xiu, "You know in your heart whose child this is! Good riddance! You just wait!"
"No……"
Jiang Xiu thought that killing the child would be enough, but she never expected Ye Yu to look at a stillborn child so carefully. The last thread in her mind snapped, and she completely fainted.
"Hmph! You brought this on yourself!" Ye Luo spat.
"Big brother, don't laugh at second brother! And you too! Come back with me! I'll settle the score with you!"
Ye Yu grabbed Ye Luo's hand tightly and dragged her home.
The birth defect is already shameful enough; the Ye family can't afford to lose even more face. The child in her womb is also a big problem!
Now that she's pregnant, there's no way to terminate the pregnancy. Countless eyes in society are watching. The only solution now is for her to marry Chen Zhong!
But Ye Yu absolutely forbids them from moving into the Ye family home!
Dream on if you think you can become a live-in son-in-law and live off the Ye family's extinction!
In almost just two days, he decided to have Ye Luo and Chen Zhong hold a simple wedding soon to get rid of this hot potato.
In the rented room—
Chen Zhongzheng was happily telling his mother about it.
"Mom, I'm about to marry the only daughter of the Ye family. From now on, I'll have a wonderful life ahead of me. You have to keep your composure and not reveal my identity, otherwise we can forget about ever living a life of wealth and power!"
"Mom knows, I won't hold you back. Just do your thing. It's just that Ni'er..." His mother sighed, "She asked me the other day if you really didn't want her anymore. How am I supposed to answer that? Honestly, I can't live without her. What if she finds out you're getting married and just leaves me behind?"
"No, Ni'er is just a bit silly. I'll just coax her a little when I'm done with what I'm doing..."
"Bang!"
As the mother and son were talking, Chen Ni kicked the door open from the outside with a bang, her eyes fixed on them.
"Mom, brother, I heard everything you said. So, the idea of me marrying you was a lie; the real reason you're treating me like a maid is, right? Are you just going to humiliate me like this?!"
Chen Ni was extremely upset. She had initially been skeptical of Jiang Wanqing's words, always feeling that the Yuan family had been kind to her and that it was only right for her to work hard without complaint, as long as they were still family...
But now it seems that only she treats them as family, while the old woman and Yuan Zhong treat her completely as a free nanny!
"Mom, go and try to persuade her..." Chen Zhong nudged his elderly mother and said in a low voice.
There was no other way; at this crucial moment, no mistakes could be tolerated. For her son's future, his mother could only smile and gently take Chen Ni's hand.
“Ni’er, it’s not what you think. Your brother married the only daughter of the Ye family for our sake. Once he’s settled down in Beijing and has the ability, we can all benefit from his success.”
"And what about me?"
"You...you are still my good daughter, how could your brother and I mistreat you? You're saying this..."
"fart!"
All the grievances that had accumulated since arriving in Beijing erupted at this moment.
Chen Ni shook off her mother's hand and shouted, "You haven't treated me badly, but what about my wages? What about my new clothes? What about the skincare cream that others gave me? Give it all back to me!"
“Why are you so concerned about this? All that money was used for your brother’s legitimate business. He needs money, but we only need enough to eat. What do we need so much money for? You shouldn’t be like this.”
When money is mentioned, this disgusting mother and son will argue unreasonably. To put it bluntly, they want what they haven't received and won't return what they have.
"I shouldn't? Hahaha... Mother, put your hand on your heart and tell me. How much have I contributed to the family over the years? My brother is away from home, but I've been taking care of you every single day. If we want to live a good life, then let's live it together. Why should I be willing to accept it just because he's abandoned me now?"
"Smack!"
Chen Zhong, who was listening nearby, sensed that she was becoming rebellious and, to stop her from continuing, slapped her hard across the face.
"Well, you've really grown bold! Who taught you to say such things! Without me and Mother, you would have starved to death long ago. Isn't it only right that you repay us? Marry you? Don't you even look at yourself? Do you want to drag me down with you? If you know what's good for you, you'd better behave yourself. You'll have your chance to drink meat soup in the future. Otherwise, Mother and I will disown you, and you can sleep on the streets to marry me!"
"Is this what you really think? I see it now. It's not that I can drag you down, it's that you want to trap me! I quit! From now on, don't interfere with my work or life anymore!"
After saying that, Chen Ni turned and left, stubbornly wiping away her tears...
