Shen Jialiang gently extended his hand, "Uncle, I didn't expect to run into you here."
Chen Qiming quickly realized that Shen Jialiang was on a blind date, and he smiled in response to Shen Jialiang's greeting.
"Yes! My daughter and I were running errands nearby, and we were planning to have lunch at the state-run restaurant after we finished. I didn't expect to run into you here."
Chen Jiayi thought to herself that there were only a few state-run restaurants on this street, so it was normal to run into acquaintances.
She glanced at the woman sitting opposite Shen Jialiang, then looked at Shen Jialiang, and realized that the other person was on a blind date.
Chen Jiayi smiled. "Professor Shen."
Shen Jialiang hummed in agreement and subtly sized up Chen Jiayi.
I don't know why, but every time I see Chen Jiayi, I feel that she has a unique feeling about her.
It's like...like weeds?
Even when trampled into the mud by wind and rain, wild grasses still grow tenaciously.
Seeing that they knew each other, Song Zhiya took the initiative to warmly welcome them.
"Hello, would you like to have dinner together?"
Song Zhiya was just being polite; she knew the other party wouldn't agree, and sure enough, she did.
Chen Qiming smiled and declined, "No, thank you! I won't bother you two!"
Seeing that the other party had left with Chen Jiayi, Shen Jialiang glanced at Song Zhiya and spoke in a calm tone.
"Excuse me, I have something to do, I have to go now."
Song Zhiya's smile froze instantly.
"I just ordered so much food, why don't you finish it before you leave?"
If Shen Jialiang leaves, who will pay the bill?
Shen Jialiang glanced at Song Zhiya and said, "I didn't say I wanted to eat. I told you to order, but I didn't tell you to order mine. Who told you to come? You should ask them to pay the bill."
He's saving his money to get married in the future, even though he doesn't currently have any plans to get married.
Song Zhiya's expression changed. She watched as Shen Jialiang really left, and she was so angry that she almost vomited blood!
Didn't they say he studied abroad and came back? How come he's still so stingy after studying abroad?
Song Zhiya gritted her teeth and shamelessly went to the kitchen to return the dishes.
The waiters in the store looked at Song Zhiya as if she were a freeloader.
"I'm sorry, some dishes have already been cooked and cannot be returned."
Song Zhiya was furious. She gritted her teeth and said, "It's already in the pot, so I can't return it. I'll eat it myself then."
The waiter gave a perfunctory "oh," and said, "That'll be 28 yuan in total. How do I pay?"
Song Zhiya gritted her teeth, pulled out a few ten-yuan bills from her bag, and reluctantly handed them to the other person.
…
Ding Haowen sat in the chair in a daze, clutching the report tightly in his hand.
The words "Ms. Li Shufang has been diagnosed with brain cancer" were clearly written on it.
He couldn't believe that such a thing could happen in his own home.
It seems that things have been going increasingly badly for him ever since he divorced Chen Jiayi.
First things went wrong at work, then things went wrong at home, and now things are going wrong in my relationship too.
The white moonlight that I had always cherished in my heart has unknowingly begun to feel like a grain of rice stuck to my mouth.
Throwing it away would be a waste of food, but eating it would be unpalatable.
Li Yuzhu felt utterly powerless. She looked at the dazed Ding Haowen and pursed her lips.
"Haowen, the hospital called me and said they're going to fire me because of my bad conduct."
She was also very flustered, feeling that nothing was going right after she returned to Haicheng.
Ding Haowen slowly raised his eyes and stared at Li Yuzhu's tired face.
His mind was in turmoil, and he didn't know what to do.
He opened his mouth, as if to say something.
Li Yuzhu sighed, looking at Ding Haowen with a hesitant expression.
"Haowen, I know what you want to say. She is, after all, your mother, and I know you can't just abandon her. But..."
She reached out and took Ding Haowen's hand.
"I am pregnant."
Ding Haowen touched Li Yuzhu's belly in disbelief and looked at her in surprise.
It took me a while to realize what the other person had said.
He gritted his teeth, "Yuzhu, how about we don't keep this child?"
Li Yuzhu was stunned, not expecting Ding Haowen to say such a thing.
Her cheeks were wet with tears of grievance, and she was angry that Ding Haowen had said such a thing.
"That's funny. Your mom is already so old, and she can't help you. Besides, do you know what happens when brain cancer progresses to a certain stage?"
"Your mother will have mobility and speech impairments, and she'll be bedridden."
"Can you take care of your mother for the rest of her life? Is it really good for her to live such a painful life afterward?"
Li Yuzhu earnestly tried to dissuade Ding Haowen, knowing full well that she had lost her job and that all she could do at that moment was to hold onto Ding Haowen tightly.
If Ding Haowen doesn't want her anymore, she will have a very difficult time.
She doesn't want to go back to those miserable days!
Ding Haowen hesitated slightly, but when he thought of his mother, he shook his head.
"I'll say it again, you should abort the child first..."
Li Yuzhu was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes.
"I'm carrying a boy, and you're actually going to abort your son? Fine, I'll go get an abortion right now!"
"Since your daughter has already disappeared, and you don't want this son anymore, why should I shamelessly get pregnant out of wedlock?"
Seeing Li Yuzhu rush to the gynecology department, Ding Haowen panicked again.
He quickly reached out and grabbed Li Yuzhu, his mind in complete turmoil.
"Let me think about it..."
A hint of joy flashed in Li Yuzhu's eyes as she began to brainwash Ding Haowen.
"Haowen, I understand how you feel. I also know you're a strong and upright man, and it's impossible for you to watch your mother die every day. But you've taken care of your mother for so many years, and that's already done a great job."
"You're still young, you have a bright future ahead of you. Our daughter is already lost, we can't just abandon this son, can we? We can't let the Ding family line die out, can we?"
