Shen Changan thought his mother would like this topic very much, but in the end, she only rolled her eyes.
"You should find a partner first. If you really want to have a child soon, Mom will arrange it for you tomorrow. Your uncle Liu's daughter is quite good. She is well-educated and comes from a good family. You grew up together and know each other well."
"The key is that the girl thinks you're pretty and has some feelings for you. Mom will help you arrange it tomorrow. If it works out, we'll settle it as soon as possible."
Shen Changan listened quietly to his mother finish speaking, and suddenly asked a question.
"Mom, what happened to me last year? What if that girl got pregnant?"
After asking this question, Shen Changan was so nervous that even his breathing slowed down a lot. He looked calm on the surface, but in fact he was always paying attention to his mother's every move.
The mother was stunned at first, then she slammed the table.
"Don't worry about it. I will never let such a questionable woman into our Shen family!"
"She's so dishonest before getting married. How can a girl be so shameless? I'm Wang Cuimei, and I've never heard of a girl who dares to give a man to..."
"Anyway, this kind of woman is definitely not a good person. You should never pay attention to her in the future. Even if she does get pregnant, it may not be your child."
"Their family is so snobbish. If she was pregnant, they would have come to us long ago. Why would they wait until now? They are really scaring themselves."
Wang Cuimei was frightened by her son's idea, so she became a little emotional and said some extreme words.
Eventually she figured it out and patted her chest to comfort herself.
Seeing his mother's strong reaction, Shen Changan didn't dare to continue.
"Mom, even for the sake of the child, you can't accept it?"
"At worst, we can just take the child home and raise him ourselves. A woman like that is absolutely not allowed to enter our Shen family!"
"I can help you look after the children at home, and so can your Aunt Li. There's no need to bring a woman like this in to ruin your life."
"Pah, pah, pah! What are you imagining? That's not happening. That woman can't be pregnant!"
Wang Cuimei counted on her fingers and figured if the woman was really pregnant, the baby would have been born a month ago.
I haven't heard any noise so far, and no one has called to make a fuss, so everything must be fine.
"If I really have a child, no girl will be interested in me even if our family is well off. Who would be willing to be a stepmother at such a young age?"
As if Shen Changan didn't hear his mother's last words, he continued talking about the topic.
"With our family's financial situation, you don't have to take care of the child. You're also a decent-looking guy, so there are still many girls who are interested in you. Even if you have a child, it's not your fault. I believe that people who know the situation will understand."
"But didn't you say I wasn't as cute as I was when I was little? Now I'm working part-time and can't find a proper job, and even the better girls don't like me."
Shen Changan deliberately belittled himself just to make his mother relax.
"I was just joking, but you really believed it. In my heart, our son is the best. He must be paired with a good girl with a clean family background and equal status!"
After his mother finished saying all the good and bad things, Shen Changan pursed his lips for a long time without saying anything. Wang Cuimei soon realized that something was wrong with her son today.
"You keep harping on this question. Could it be that the woman is really pregnant? Is the child already born now?"
Wang Cuimei widened her eyes in surprise, and her eyes were so ferocious as if she wanted to eat someone.
"You don't want to marry that woman home, do you? I'm telling you, this kind of scheming woman is not welcome in our Shen family! Forget it!"
"By the way, where is my darling grandson? I'm going to go get him. As for that woman, just give her some benefits and she'll be fined. I absolutely won't allow you to have anything to do with her again!"
"Mom, what are you thinking? It's nothing. I was a teacher at the school this time. I've never met that woman. I don't even know her current situation."
"Just like you said, even if she was really pregnant, she would have given birth by now. She would have come to me with the child a long time ago. How could she wait until now?"
"I'm just asking casually. Why are you taking it so seriously? You're talking as if I really have a child. I'm still so young, how can I become a father so early?"
The more Shen Changan spoke, the more guilty he felt. This round of testing had failed. His mother could not accept the woman who was pregnant before marriage and forced him to have sex.
If he told the truth directly now, given the mother's personality, she would definitely drive to get the child back without saying a word.
Jiang Li has such a hot temper, and now she is very wary of him. If the two meet face to face, they will definitely fight to snatch the child.
By then, he would be caught in the middle and wouldn't know who to help. Besides, Jiang Li was now determined not to admit that the child was his.
If his mother came to rob him, Jiang Li would go directly to the police station to report the case, which would also cause considerable trouble for their family.
Shen Changan held tightly the photo of himself when he was a child. He wanted to see it. With this photo, how could she deny it?
As for Mr. Long who was investigated before, Shen Changan will also arrange for a painter to draw his portrait as soon as possible, and then ask someone to investigate his situation.
Shen Changan had already made arrangements in his mind, and at this moment the phone at home rang.
Wang Cuimei was closest to the phone, so she picked it up out of habit.
"Hello?"
A young boy's voice came from the other side, and the voice was trembling. Just from the sound of the voice, you could tell that the person on the other side was very nervous.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
"I'm Jiang Yi. I'm looking for Teacher Shen. Is Teacher Shen home?"
Jiang Yi tried several times and finally dialed Teacher Shen's home phone number, but a strange female voice came from the other end. Jiang Yi was startled at first, and then he was afraid that the other party would hang up the phone, so he directly explained his purpose.
"Teacher Shen? We don't have Teacher Shen here. Did you call the wrong number?"
Wang Cuimei felt a little confused and hung up the phone.
Hearing the other party's puzzled voice, Jiang Yi, who was about to report Shen Changan's name, was suddenly hung up.
He was completely bewildered. Was there something wrong with the number Teacher Shen had given him? Had he really dialed the wrong number? Otherwise, why would the other party hang up so quickly?
Shen Changan, who was standing aside, quickly reacted when he heard the three words "Teacher Shen". The other party must have come to find him.
In the entire school, he only left his phone number to Jiang Yi.
Now someone calls Teacher Shen’s home. Who else could it be but Jiang Yi?
"Mom, I'm Teacher Shen, and the temporary job I'm doing this time is as a teacher."
Shen Changan walked up and took the phone from his mother's hand. He quickly pressed the redial button.
