Ye Zhao looked at Ye Feng, who was sitting in front of her with a livid face, and sighed, "I discussed it with Chen Du and we decided not to go, so please don't worry about it..."
The doctor had just come over to discuss the surgery with her when Ye Feng, who had rushed over, overheard them. He immediately chased the doctor out and then questioned her about it with a grim expression. Ye Zhao had no choice but to tell him the truth.
Ye Feng, mindful of Yang Xu outside, suppressed his anger and said in a low voice, "What are you thinking? You finally got pregnant with President Shen's child, and he agreed to keep it. Why do you want to abort it?"
Ye Zhao couldn't answer that question; it was the original owner of the body who wanted to marry Shen Du, not her.
Seeing Ye Zhao's silent demeanor, Ye Feng assumed she was throwing a tantrum and that's why she wanted to abort the child. He softened his tone and comforted her, "President Shen has to manage such a large company like Shen's, and sometimes he can't take care of you. But this isn't the time to throw a tantrum. You finally got engaged to him, and you've come this far, so please don't do anything foolish..."
"Besides, didn't Dad tell you? The Ye family is facing some difficulties recently and needs President Shen's help. Just think of Dad and keep this child, okay?"
Ye Zhao slowly raised her head to look at him. Her sharp gaze made Ye Feng subconsciously look away. He coughed awkwardly twice and said, "This isn't something your father forced you to do. Haven't you always liked President Chen? It's a win-win situation. I'm afraid you'll act impulsively and regret it later..."
Whether she regretted it or not, Ye Zhao didn't know, but she only felt it was ironic, and her gaze towards Ye Feng became increasingly sharp.
Ye Feng tried to persuade her for a while, but seeing that Ye Zhao still didn't speak, his tone became a little impatient.
"What's wrong with you, child? You usually have a good sense of proportion when you throw a tantrum, so what's wrong with you today? Did you have a fight with President Shen?"
Yes, in his eyes, Ye Zhao was completely devoted to Chen Du, so how could she possibly abort his child? She could only be throwing a tantrum.
"No, don't overthink it. We've already discussed the child's situation, so please don't worry about it. We know what we're doing."
Seeing that Ye Zhao was unmoved by his words, Ye Feng turned and left in a huff. Only then did Ye Zhao breathe a sigh of relief. Using his daughter to climb the social ladder, Ye Feng was nothing special. No wonder the original owner did so many wrong things in the end. It can be said that the upper beam is not straight, and the lower beam is crooked as well.
Despite his attempts to dissuade her, Ye Zhao remained firm in her decision; she had no desire to have a child with a stranger.
Just when Ye Zhao thought the matter was settled, another unexpected turn of events occurred.
The hospital was extremely quiet late at night. Ye Zhao was lying in bed replying to Lin Yu's messages when suddenly she heard hurried footsteps outside. Ye Zhao and Aunt Wang exchanged a glance, both assuming the sound was coming from another ward.
The next second, they heard the door open. Aunt Wang rushed out to greet them, and Ye Zhao got out of bed and followed.
What brings you here?
Aunt Wang's voice sounded somewhat panicked.
"I'm not coming? If I don't come, that brat will kill my great-grandson!"
As the aged voice reached his ears, Ye Zhao walked to the outer room and saw the two people who had come in.
The man who spoke leaned on a cane, was bald, wore an old-fashioned Zhongshan suit, and had black-rimmed glasses. Although he was old, he was still upright and looked kind and gentle, but his tone of voice was fierce.
The next second, he saw Ye Zhao, and his fierce expression softened instantly. He said gently, "Zhao Zhao, come here quickly, Grandpa will see if there's anything else that's bothering you?"
Hearing the gentle and kind words, Ye Zhao seemed to be nailed to the spot, unable to move.
Seeing that she was standing still, Grandpa Shen leaned on his cane and stepped forward, asking gently, "Didn't you say you were vomiting badly? Have you eaten anything?"
Aunt Wang hurriedly replied, "I had some porridge for dinner."
Ye Zhao looked at the kind and gentle old man in front of her, her eyes suddenly welled up with tears, and then she lowered her head and blinked.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Grandpa Shen reached out and patted her head, saying, "Why aren't you saying anything? Did that boy bully you?"
Ye Zhao looked at the old man in front of her and shook her head: "No, you're overthinking it."
She never expected that Shen Du's grandfather would be such a kind old man.
Grandpa Shen carefully examined her condition, asked Aunt Wang several questions, and then pulled Ye Zhao to sit down on the sofa.
"I've heard everything about the child from your father..."
Ye Zhao frowned but remained silent.
Grandpa Shen sighed and continued, "Zhaozhao, that boy Adu is usually busy with work and has too many things to worry about. He often can't take care of you. I'm sorry on his behalf."
Old Master Shen's voice was hoarse and weathered, and he looked at Ye Zhao with eyes full of apology.
Ye Zhao waved her hand somewhat fearfully and said, "Please don't say that. This was a matter of mutual consent, so it's not his fault."
Grandpa Shen smiled and said, "I know you're a good girl, and you're deeply in love with that boy. He just doesn't appreciate it... If he does anything to wrong you, just tell Grandpa, and Grandpa will teach him a lesson. Don't hold a grudge..."
Are you waiting here? Ye Zhao lowered her head and tugged at the corner of her mouth. These people were probably used to the original owner's unwavering devotion to Chen Du, so they all thought she was just throwing a tantrum and didn't want to keep the child.
“Grandpa Shen…” Ye Zhao began slowly.
Grandpa Shen stopped and waited for her to speak.
"What if I'm not throwing a tantrum? I just don't want to have children." Ye Zhao looked at Grandpa Shen's kind face and said sincerely.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Shen was stunned for a long while, his expression somewhat sad and helpless. He asked in a low voice, "Is it related to Adu?"
He still thought that Shen Du had bullied her, but Ye Zhao smiled and replied, "No, it's because I don't want to have children."
After hearing this, Grandpa Shen remained silent for a long while, his shoulders slumping slightly. He slowly said, "You young people have your own ideas, and Grandpa respects them..."
Ye Zhao felt that he had put a lot of effort into saying those few words.
As if noticing Ye Zhao's somewhat annoyed look, Grandpa Shen smiled and patted her on the shoulder, saying, "Of course, Grandpa hopes you can keep the child, but... Grandpa would prefer you to stay voluntarily, rather than be forced to stay."
Looking at his aged face, Ye Zhao suppressed her sadness but still tried to comfort him.
“You are a good child. It’s that boy who doesn’t know how to cherish it. No matter what choice you make, Grandpa will support you. I just hope you will think more before making a choice so that you won’t regret it later.”
Grandpa Shen looked at Ye Zhao with kind eyes and a gentle smile on his face.
“You’ve already been treated unfairly by being with that kid. If I have to force you on these things, this old man will just be too much of a nuisance.”
Ye Zhao twitched the corner of her mouth: "That's not true..."
Grandpa Shen asked her a few more questions and told Aunt Wang to take good care of him before letting Butler Liu help him leave.
Looking at his back, Ye Zhao felt that his once straight figure had slumped down considerably, and his steps had become slow and heavy. She wondered if she had made a wrong decision.
