Chapter 205 Not necessarily your own flesh and blood
Jiang Yichen's eyes flashed with pain, but he still said firmly: "I also have a share in the child, you are not alone. Moreover, I will definitely take responsibility to the end. I said I will not marry Lin Nan."
I was so angry at his words that I almost lost my mind and blurted out: "You are responsible? How can you be responsible? You are going to marry Lin Nan soon! I will not keep this child!"
Jiang Yichen's face darkened instantly, and his voice became deep and powerful: "The child belongs to both of us. Why do you decide whether he stays or goes?"
I was stunned by his question. In a moment of panic, I blurted out, "Why do you think the child is yours? Just based on that one time... that time could have just been an accident!"
After I said it, I realized that I had gone too far, but it was too late to undo what had been done, and the atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense.
I regretted it immediately after I said that.
Jiang Yichen's face was extremely ugly. He approached me step by step, his eyes revealing an indescribable anger, and said to me in a low voice: "Say it again."
I was scared, my heart was in turmoil, and I could only bite the bullet and explain: "I... I was just talking nonsense, don't take it seriously."
Jiang Yichen's eyes flashed with a complex emotion, but he remained calm and arrogant, staring at me coldly: "You'd better be talking nonsense!"
During dinner in the evening, my grandmother announced the news of my pregnancy with a look of joy on her face, and the whole family looked at her with attention.
Jiang's father just said a few polite words of congratulations and didn't seem to care too much.
The auntie seemed to be concerned and reminded Jiang Yichen: "Yichen, you still need to pay more attention. After all, you have been divorced for so long, and the baby she is pregnant with may not be your flesh and blood."
The aunt's words made the atmosphere instantly become subtle. I nervously clenched the chopsticks in my hand, fearing that Jiang Yichen would be angry or embarrassed.
But to my surprise, Jiang Yichen simply replied, "Whether or not he is my own flesh and blood, I know very well."
His tone was firm and powerful, as if he was declaring his sovereignty and confidence to everyone.
I looked up at him and found that his eyes were full of determination and dominance, which made me feel an inexplicable sense of security.
However, the aunt did not give up. She continued to test: "That's not necessarily true. After all, you are divorced. You don't know who she has been with during this period."
Jiang Yichen's face became even gloomier, but he remained calm and rational, not letting the aunt's words affect his emotions.
He glanced at the aunt and said coldly, "Aunt, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. I will naturally recognize my Jiang Yichen's flesh and blood."
The aunt's face changed slightly when she heard this: "Who knows..."
The old lady wanted to say something, but Mr. Jiang scolded her coldly, "That's enough, eat."
After being scolded by Jiang Yichen or the elders in the family, the aunt did indeed restrain herself a lot and no longer easily provoked trouble.
After dinner, I made the excuse of feeling unwell and went upstairs early, hoping to find a moment of peace and quiet.
However, I tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. The decision about the child in my heart was like a huge rock, weighing heavily on my heart. I knew very well what this child meant to me, but I also knew that the complicated relationship between Jiang Yichen and me made it difficult for me to make a decision.
My grandmother's expectations and love for me made it impossible for me to directly reject her wish to have a great-grandson. However, how should I face the entanglement between Jiang Yichen and me, and the various changes that this child might bring?
I put these worries aside for the time being and turned to thinking about tomorrow's work. I knew very well what it meant to me to continue to participate in the competition. That was the direction and dream I had been working towards. So I decided to have a good talk with Jiang Yichen, hoping to get a solution that would satisfy both parties.
Just as my thoughts were racing, Jiang Yichen, holding a glass of milk, gently pushed open the bedroom door. He looked at my worried face, frowned, and asked softly, "What's wrong? Are you worried about something?"
I sat up, looked at Jiang Yichen seriously, and asked again: "Is it really true that I can't continue to work?"
Jiang Yichen sighed helplessly and said, "Not letting you go to work is for the good of you and the child. You need to rest in your current physical condition and are not suitable to continue working."
I grabbed Jiang Yichen's hand, shook it gently, raised three fingers, and promised solemnly: "I will pay attention and will definitely not affect the child. Can't you just let me finish the game and then rest?"
However, Jiang Yichen's attitude remained firm: "I can agree to everything else, but I can't agree to this one thing. Drink the milk and go to bed early."
Seeing that persuasion was futile, I angrily picked up the pillow and said, "No need, I'm going to sleep in the study." After that, I quickly left the bedroom and ran to the study.
I was afraid that Jiang Yichen would catch up with me, so I immediately closed and locked the door after entering the study.
Jiang Yichen stood outside, twisting the handle, but couldn't open the door for a long time. He could only helplessly let me stay inside.
In the study, I tried to turn on Jiang Yichen's computer and found that it was not turned off.
However, to my disappointment, there was no useful information stored in the computer. There was only an email address with a password set, which I failed to open after trying several times.
I guessed that this mailbox might contain important clues about the Gu family's bankruptcy, but I had no way to check it, so I had to give up in disappointment.
Back in bed, I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep all night.
The plight of the Gu family and the concern that Jiang Yichen and grandma had for me kept appearing in my mind.
If what Song Le said was true, how should I face the Jiang family and the Gu family? What should I do with this child?
The next morning, I struggled to get up, feeling pale and listless.
Seeing this, grandma asked me with concern: "Momo, what's wrong with you? You don't look well!?"
I forced a smile and told her, "It's okay, grandma. I just didn't get enough rest yesterday."
Seeing this, Jiang Yichen took the opportunity to say, "Since you didn't sleep well, just rest at home today and don't go to work." After hearing this, my grandmother also agreed and advised me not to overwork myself.
I knew that even if I went to the company, Jiang Yichen would not let me do any substantive work.
Besides, my current condition is really not suitable for work.
I simply agreed to their suggestion and decided to rest at home for a day.
I stood on the second floor and watched Jiang Yichen leave, thinking about going to the study upstairs to try my luck again.
