Her life is a mess anyway, so the worst that can happen is that she doesn't fall in love or get married.
She suddenly reaffirmed her inner thoughts and echoed on the screen, "Lan You, you're right."
Lan You could feel through the screen that she seemed to be more positive, and her tense body relaxed a little.
"Epiphyllum, it's time to eat."
Mi Tanhua quickly wiped away her tears so that others would not see any signs of her crying, and went to the living room with a faint smile.
The table was filled with light dishes and eight-treasure porridge.
"Epiphyllum, what did the doctor say when you went to the hospital?" Father Mi looked at her expectantly.
A trace of guilt flashed across Mi Tanhua's eyes, and she lowered her head and said, "The doctor said I just have some stomach problems."
Father Mi's eyes flickered, and he said quickly, "I guessed it. You young people just don't take care of your bodies, so Dad specially made some food for you that is nourishing to your stomach and that you will like. Come and try it."
The table was filled with her favorite dishes: stir-fried pork with yam, tomato soup...
A warm feeling suddenly welled up in Mi Epiphyllum's eyes. She had a rare good appetite and ate two full bowls of eight-treasure porridge.
Father Mi calculated the time accurately and went into the bathroom. One minute later, he received a call from the courier.
After he hung up, he said to Mi Tanhua, "Tanhua, can you help Dad go downstairs to pick up the package?"
Mi Epiphyllum agreed without hesitation.
As soon as she left, Mi's father came into the room, searched around, and found the list she had checked.
When he saw the result, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
She was pregnant and kept it a secret from him. He had discovered that she had bought a pregnancy test before, but he hadn't revealed it.
He quickly took a picture with his cell phone, put it back in its place, and returned to the bathroom just before Mi Tanhua entered the room.
"Dad, I got the express back for you."
"good."
Father Mi squatted for a full ten minutes and flushed the toilet several times before coming out.
He took out the package and handed it to her, "Epiphyllum, I bought you a tablet. You can study on it from now on. It will be much more convenient."
Mi Tanhua took it with trembling hands, looking touched, "Dad, I... don't need it."
"Take it. Dad can't afford to buy an expensive house for now. When Dad makes money, he will buy a bigger house first, and then send you to college. We can live a good life together as father and daughter."
Mi Tanhua hugged him and said, "Dad, as long as you stay by my side, that's enough."
Father Mi patted her on the back, a dark glint in his eyes.
His daughter is just too soft-hearted.
Mi Tanhua originally wanted to have an abortion, but someone told Lao Jiang about her pregnancy. He immediately took her to the villa where they usually lived in love and hired several servants to take good care of her.
She was at a loss and looked confused.
"Epiphyllum, I know you want to finish high school before giving birth to a son for me, but you're already pregnant. You can't have an abortion, right? I'm already 45. The older I get, the lower my chances of getting you pregnant."
Lao Jiang squatted in front of her and explained patiently.
"Old Jiang, but I'm only in the first year of high school. If I get pregnant, how can I go to school?" Mi Tanhua looked embarrassed.
Lao Jiang thought for a moment and said, "Before you give birth to this child, you can stay in the villa. You can find any excuse to drop out of Qinghe. After you give birth, you can go to another school, or I can give you tutoring, and you can still take the university entrance exam. How about that?"
What Lao Jiang said made sense, but Qinghe was the school she had always dreamed of attending. How could she just give up like that?
There are also uncertain unknowns.
What if Chiang Kai-shek changed his mind and didn't let her go to school after she gave birth to the child?
She understood that all Chiang Kai-shek wanted was for her to give birth to a son.
Mi Epiphyllum's mind was in a mess. Faced with the situation, she was unable to make a choice for a moment.
"Old Jiang, can you...let me think about it for a moment?" Mi Tanhua requested.
Chiang Kai-shek still had some affection for her, so he agreed.
He left her bedroom, stood in the study with his short and fat body, and made a phone call.
"I can't give you one million right now. Your daughter hasn't agreed to give birth to the baby yet, and it's still unknown whether it's a son or not."
"Mr. Jiang, I only have this one precious daughter. I promise to let her give birth to this child. Can you give me 500,000 first as an emergency aid?" Father Mi said compromisingly outside the phone.
"You're really asking for too much. Five hundred thousand is out of the question. I can only give you one hundred thousand."
Mr. Mi thought about it and had no choice but to agree.
Mi Tanhua, who was in a dilemma, never expected that her father, who doted on her in front of her, actually treated her as a commodity with a fixed price.
In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve.
Lan You went to Mo Junyao's room. Mo Junyao personally made some of her favorite foods. The two of them watched the fireworks outside the window, eating and chatting.
"Jun Yao, this is the first New Year's Eve we spend together." Lan You said with bright eyes.
"Well, I will remember this day." Mo Junyao's mouth corners also curled up slightly.
Lan You rested his chin on his hand, staring at the fireworks outside the window, frowning in thought, "I'm wondering what will happen next year? What will we be like next year?"
This time next year, this time next year, and this time every year, she hopes she will be by his side.
She looked out the window, and Mo Junyao's affectionate eyes fell on her face.
I thought to myself, "I don't know, but I know that next year I will love you more than I do now."
After dinner, around midnight, the two of them put on thick clothes and went to the roof.
The cold wind blew gently, and the warm lights of thousands of households were reflected. The sea city looked particularly beautiful and lively against the backdrop of fireworks.
Mo Junyao held her in his arms. Lan You hugged his slender waist and looked at the fireworks in the distance.
When the last ten seconds came, the two began to count down in unison, "Ten, nine... three, two, one."
Deafening fireworks bloomed in the air, like a brilliant starry sky.
Mo Junyao and Lan You looked at each other with tacit understanding, and they whispered, "Happy New Year."
The curve of the smile at the corner of the mouth is so similar.
Mo Junyao looked at her with deep affection in his eyes. He lowered his head and kissed her lips heavily.
Lan You responded enthusiastically.
At this moment, the picture seemed to be frozen.
Under the dazzling fireworks, Mo Junyao and Lan You embraced each other affectionately.
This moment seems as long as a lifetime.
At the same time, An Xinghe sent Lu Wanying a Happy New Year message and also gave her a big red envelope of 194.7.
She didn't pay attention to the amount and just accepted it.
After collecting it, she suddenly opened her eyes wide when she saw so much money.
"Isn't this... a bit too much?" Lu Wanying rubbed her hair embarrassedly.
"Not much. The New Year's money we give out here is around 200 yuan." An Xinghe explained quickly.
