Chapter 239
"This has nothing to do with you. It's not yours anyway." Zhu Qiaoting said coldly.
"Chen Kang, you are really stupid and too soft-hearted. I just pretend and cry in front of you, and you lose your opinion. If it weren't for your mother, I would have tricked you into marrying me a long time ago. So I don't like your mother or your family at all." Zhu Qiaoting continued.
"There's one thing you don't know. The baby in my belly isn't in good health. It could miscarry at any time. During this time, while you were at work, I was out looking at houses, including the one we'd settled on. I actually went to see it this morning and negotiated with the landlord before taking you there. I didn't stay in the guesthouse to recuperate as you suggested. I was hoping the baby would miscarry so you'd never know it wasn't yours."
"Besides, if the baby really gets aborted, I can put the blame on your mother. It's because of her that we have to run around and rent a house on our own that I couldn't keep our child. Do you think you won't blame your mother at all when the time comes?"
Chen Kang looked at Zhu Qiaoting like a stranger. He didn't know whether Zhu Qiaoting was acting this way in order to completely sever ties with him. Or perhaps this was actually Zhu Qiaoting's true face and true thoughts all along, and he had never really understood her.
Zhu Qiaoting sighed and continued, "Chen Kang, you don't really like me at all. Your love for me is more out of responsibility. You feel that the child in my belly is yours, and you have to be responsible. Even when we were together, it was me who used tricks to force you. Otherwise, you would listen to your mother so closely and never date in the countryside."
"Sometimes I feel like being with you is quite boring, after all, you don't really like me. But since you're my only chance to leave the countryside, I have no choice but to hold on to you. It's just that your family is too hard to fool, otherwise, my plan would have succeeded."
Chen Kang felt so complicated listening to Zhu Qiaoting's words that it was hard to describe.
Every detail of their journey together seemed different from what Zhu Qiaoting had said. He began to lose track of what was real and what was fake.
He didn't even know what he had been doing or what he had been insisting on during this period of time.
“Then… now…” Shen Kang squeezed out these words.
He didn't know what he was saying or what he wanted to say.
"Now?" Zhu Qiaoting looked at him teasingly. "You already know the baby in my belly is not yours. Do you still want to marry me and be cuckolded by me?"
Chen Guifeng glared at Zhu Qiaoting with some resentment, and said to Shen Kang: "Shen Kang, Zhu Zhiqing has made it very clear that she is just using you. If we hadn't exposed her, do you think she would have told you this? She would have kept you in the dark. You might have married her and become the father of someone else's child."
Even though Zhu Qiaoting took all the blame and confessed everything to Chen Kang, as if she was pushing Chen Kang away and not wanting to implicate him any further, the premise of all this was that Zhu Qiaoting's scheme had been exposed and she could no longer continue to lie.
After hearing Chen Guifeng's words, Shen Kang came back to his senses a little.
He sighed and said, "In that case, let's say goodbye."
Zhu Qiaoting smiled and nodded: "Yeah, I think so too."
Chen Kang stood up and packed his things silently - in fact, he didn't have much to pack, so he packed it up quickly - then he and Chen Guifeng and the others left.
Until Chen Kang and the others left the room, Zhu Qiaoting still had that smiling face that showed no fear of boiling water.
It was not until Chen Kang and the others went down the stairs and their footsteps could no longer be heard that Zhu Qiaoting covered her face with her hands and burst into tears.
…
Before leaving the guesthouse, Chen Kang couldn't help but renew Zhu Qiaoting's room fee for tonight, and canceled his own room.
Chen Guifeng just rolled her eyes and said nothing.
At least, Zhu Qiaoting's scheme had been exposed, and Chen Kang would not marry her. No matter what Chen Kang felt towards Zhu Qiaoting, after Zhu Qiaoting had said that, there was no possibility for the two of them. As for what else Chen Kang wanted to do, as long as it was not too extreme, Chen Guifeng planned to turn a blind eye.
Along the way, Chen Kang didn't say a word. Chen Guifeng and the others didn't say anything either, letting Chen Kang digest the matter on his own.
Back at the compound, Chen Guifeng asked Chen Kang, "Have you eaten yet?"
Shen Kang nodded: "I have eaten."
Immediately, he said nothing more and returned to his room.
In the afternoon, he went to work at the factory as usual.
Chen Guifeng was still a little worried as she watched Chen Kang leave the hospital.
She said to Ye Fuyue, "Isn't it possible that Chen Kang has suffered a great blow? He has been like this for a while."
"It's better to let big brother suffer a little blow, so that he can think carefully about what happened between him and Zhu Zhiqing. Zhu Zhiqing's actions and words have always been flawless. It's because big brother trusted Zhu Zhiqing too much that he was deceived until now." Ye Fuyue said.
Chen Guifeng nodded: "That's right."
"But," Chen Guifeng continued, "whose child is Zhu Zhiqing pregnant with? She doesn't go find the child's biological father and let him take responsibility, but only blames Chen Kang. Could it be that the child's biological father is also an educated youth sent to the countryside like her?"
"Who knows." Ye Fuyue said indifferently.
Chen Guifeng didn't particularly care about this matter. She was just gossiping with Ye Fuyue.
Zhu Qiaoting almost treated her son as a scapegoat, which ruined her son's life. She would not sympathize with Zhu Qiaoting at all.
…
Ye Fuyue thought she would never see Zhu Qiaoting again. But the next day, when she returned to the compound from outside, she was stopped by Zhu Qiaoting.
Zhu Qiaoting must have been waiting here for a long time.
Seeing Zhu Qiaoting coming out from the darkness, Ye Fuyue asked her expressionlessly, "Waiting for Chen Kang?"
Zhu Qiaoting shook her head: "Wait for you."
"What are you waiting for me to do?" Ye Fuyue asked calmly.
"I have something to tell you." Zhu Qiaoting said.
Ye Fuyue didn't understand what she and Zhu Qiaoting could talk about. But after Zhu Qiaoting said that, Ye Fuyue said, "Let's go to a nearby park and talk."
Zhu Qiaoting nodded and followed Ye Fuyue.
On the way, Zhu Qiaoting started talking: "Yesterday, I went to the landlord to get back the rent for the house that Shen Kang and I rented. It was a total of 18 yuan. Although the landlord was very angry and felt that we were not trustworthy and were playing house, he still returned the rent to me. I didn't plan to give this money to Shen Kang. I need this money to go back to the countryside and live in the countryside."
"Do you want me to tell Shen Kang about this?" Ye Fuyue asked.
