Chapter 55: Good Causes, Bad Consequences Lin Jun was wondering if Liuai’s child would…
The red mark at the base of the thumb had not yet faded. In the hazy moisture, it gradually became clearer in Chi Liuai's sight. As its body rose and fell, it also moved, grabbing Chi Liuai who did not need to take the initiative.
The traces were covered with a thin layer of water, which slowly dried and shrank in the wind, as if sucking on the skin at the tiger's mouth. Chi Liuai suddenly thought of what his brother was doing at this time.
[Liuai, do you like your brother?]
This was Lin Zhun’s last words.
Chi Liuai's stomach churned, and she sobbed on Meng Yuzhi's shoulder, which made the man cling to her more forcefully. Suddenly, Chi Liuai tried to push Meng Yuzhi away.
She covered her mouth.
Unbearable nausea.
The secretly drunk rice wine took effect at this moment, forcing Chi Liuai to stop.
"It hurts so much." Chi Liuai cried.
Meng Yuzhi's tall and broad body enveloped the girl. He noticed that the girl's face was flushed and her breathing was very slow. She must be enduring it very hard. He used his palm to soothe the girl's trembling shoulders and kissed her, but stopped.
"I feel like vomiting, I feel like vomiting." Chi Liuai said this for the second time.
At this time, the warm palm was already on the girl's lower abdomen.
It was helping her relieve the aftershocks of the convulsions.
Hearing this, Meng Yuzhi paused, his eyes fixed on Chi Liuai, and asked again: "What?"
"Nausea, vomiting."
She noticed a ripple in Meng Yuzhi's dark eyes and thought she had said something wrong again. She habitually tried to make amends, "I drank a little wine today. It was terrible. I promise, it was only a little."
Meng Yuzhi stood up and completely left Chi Liuai. When she was nervous about the sudden disappearance of her sense of security, he wrapped Chi Liuai tightly with clothes and carried her to the bathroom to clean up.
Chi Liuai didn't eat too much food, and she couldn't vomit it out. She also heard Meng Yuzhi contact the doctor, and she was a little panicked, asking Meng Yuzhi if she was sick.
"No." Meng Yuzhi's palm pressed on Chi Liuai's lower abdomen to help her relax. Mosuo, "It's just a physical examination."
His strength was very gentle, just like usual.
Chi Liuai still noticed something unusual. She had never vomited after an intense event before, and Meng Yuzhi would never suddenly contact a doctor to check her when he was comforting her. Chi Liuai lowered her head and looked at the palm of his hand pressing on her lower abdomen. There were blue veins, scars, and rough thin skin on the slightly bulging area, which showed the results of his work just now.
His heart suddenly collapsed, Chi Liuai looked up abruptly, and the shock in his eyes turned into collapse.
Meng Yuzhi even felt a little guilty.
It was keenly captured by Chi Liuai.
The girl raised her hand and pushed Meng Yuzhi, crying in grievance.
“It’s all your fault!!!”
She knew she might be pregnant.
At four o'clock in the morning, Meng Yuzhi was still talking on the phone with the doctor. It was an emergency and the private doctor could not arrive. He dared to guarantee that the male contraceptive pills given to Meng Yuzhi could achieve 90% contraceptive effect, and there was no record of any partner getting pregnant in previous users.
"That's not what I'm asking." Meng Yuzhi said in a deep voice. Chi Liuai's sobs could still be heard on the balcony. She was still asleep at this time, but she was still crying. Meng Yuzhi followed Chi Liuai, his stomach also twisting in pain. He asked in a hoarse voice, "She's crying. Is it a side effect of pregnancy? She looks very pale and has been in a bad mood these days."
The doctor was about to say on the phone that a pregnancy of one or two months wouldn't be...
The taciturn Mr. Meng interrupted him and continued.
"She's been forgetful again lately and only thinks about divorce. I think her mood swings are probably due to her pregnancy and illness. She's eaten half as much in the past three days, and her favorite dishes have changed by two or three." Meng Yuzhi wanted to confirm whether Chi Liuai was truly ill. He used his own observations to ask the doctor, and even couldn't help but emphasize, "She used to eat every day."
The doctor thought that maybe he was tired of eating it.
Answer: "It's normal to have a change in appetite during pregnancy."
Meng Yuzhi disagreed. "She gets anxious and scratches her palms and bites the backs of her hands. She gained five pounds, but lost four in the past three days. The method you recommended has no long-term effect. She still has trouble concentrating, and is prone to moodiness between 10 p.m. and 12 a.m. She has constant nightmares and small wounds. She hasn't been able to appear in normal social settings for nearly two months. Many people are threatening and hurting her. Doctor, I told you I don't need her to undergo high-intensity treatment. She just needs to be safe and sound. But she's crying more often now."
"I saw that she was very dependent on someone. When she was with him, she was willing to eat things she didn't like and her appetite increased."
I have to admit: "I laughed more happily."
This is not something the doctor can solve. The doctor gently reminded: "Pregnancy is emotionally unstable, and you may really need the company of your family."
Meng Yuzhi paused and hung up the phone. It was not that the doctor solved Meng Yuzhi's doubts, but Chi Liuai's crying was too heartbreaking. Meng Yuzhi returned to the bedroom and comforted her.
The morning dawned, and he hadn't slept all night.
Looking outside the terrace, spring is approaching, and the temperature-controlled Meng residence is already covered with a slope of flowers that are burning like a rotten tree. This is no longer the lifeless Meng family manor, but a home where a couple snuggles together. Meng Yuzhi closed his eyes and took a rest for a while. He decided to take the initiative to call Lin Zhun.
Chi Liuai woke up. When she saw Meng Yuzhi, her face was filled with guilt, heartache and remorse, and she became more energetic.
"divorce!"
Chi Liuai was determined: "Am I not obedient enough? Why do you want me to get pregnant? I don't want it. Didn't I get married with you?"
She felt that this was Meng Yuzhi's way of controlling her.
This was not Chi Liuai's fault for speculation. It was the evil result sown by Meng Yuzhi. It was he who threatened Chi Liuai and forced her to have a child with him.
This is proof that Meng Yuzhi doesn't believe her.
Chi Liuai felt anxious when he thought of this.
She refused to see a doctor.
Meng Yuzhi didn't say much. He turned down work for nearly half a month and worked from home, with most of his work being done by professionals.
This child started to lose his temper and go on a hunger strike.
Lin Zhun and Meng Yuzhi stood at the bedroom door, looking at each other in disbelief. Both of their collars were ruffled, and one could imagine the extent of the hidden fight in the main hall just now. Meng Yuzhi did not dodge and took a punch on her own initiative. With a little bruise on the corner of her mouth, she told Lin Zhun expressionlessly that she had started a hunger strike.
The hearts of both of them were clenched into thin threads at the same time.
Lin Zhun asked, "When?"
Meng Yuzhi: "Two hours ago."
Two hours after Chi Liuai threatened to starve himself to death by hunger strike, Chi Liuai skipped a meal.
She used to start ordering food before mealtime.
Lin Zhun knocked on the door and called softly, "Liu Ai."
Meng Yuzhi heard the crying inside become softer, as if to confirm whether she was hallucinating. Then there was another unusual movement. He thought that the girl might have secretly put her ear to the door to eavesdrop. Was this Meng Yuzhi's trick?
Lin Zhun called out again.
The door slowly opened, revealing the girl's lowered head.
She said, "Come in." Then, she pointed at Meng Yuzhi without saying anything more.
Meng Yuzhi nodded, smiled slightly, and spoke in a gentle tone.
"Let your brother go in and accompany you. I'll wait here. If you're hungry, remember to tell me, okay, Liuai?"
The sound of a door closing responded to Meng Yuzhi.
The first time Lin Zhun entered Chi Liuai's room, he used paper to wipe the biscuit crumbs from the corner of Chi Liuai's mouth. There were also snacks hidden by Chi Liuai in the room. She raised her hand and opened the crying recording on her mobile phone. Lin Zhun skillfully opened a piece of chocolate for Chi Liuai, and then used a wet wipe to wipe the girl's two fingers that were dirty from eating snacks, and then to her palm. The kiss marks on it extended to her elbow, which showed the extent of last night's kiss.
Meng Yuzhi did not tell Lin Zhun why Chi Liuai was angry.
A simple sentence: "Liu'ai can't do it anymore, you come over."
Lin Zhun's blood boiled and he was stunned for a moment. He hung up the phone, rushed out of the company and drove to Meng's house. No one stopped him. When he saw Meng Yuzhi, he punched him.
Chi Liuai finally finished the game, and only then did she frown. Her red and swollen eyes were indeed from crying all day. Later, when she was tired of crying, she recorded her crying, and she had to blame Meng Yuzhi anyway.
She said bitterly, "I'm pregnant."
The air was stagnant. Chi Liuai saw the corners of his brother's mouth twitching unnaturally. He couldn't maintain a smile at all. His pupils were red and trembling. He asked, "Are you pregnant?"
"What should I do?" Chi Liuai was uneasy.
If she had a normal family, with living parents, a normal marriage, and a normal husband, Chi Liuai wouldn't have collapsed like this. Regardless of whether the child could survive, Chi Liuai would have had many opportunities to talk to her mother and father. But now, Chi Liuai has nothing.
This was also the first time Meng Yuzhi lowered his head and allowed Lin Zhun to approach.
Chi Liuai really needs a family, and Lin Zhun’s identity at this time is Chi Liuai’s brother who depends on him for survival.
Meng Yuzhi actually touched Liu Ai! They are indeed husband and wife, but he touched Liu Ai! He didn't take any measures! Beast, will Liu Ai still be inseparable from him? Will she want this child? Abortion will definitely harm the body. This child can't be born. Will Liu Ai have a difficult birth? Pregnancy is very difficult. Meng Yuzhi is a bastard. Why didn't he kill him in the assassination before? He grew up in the Luo En family eating free food? If Meng Yuzhi dies, will Liu Ai's child call him dad? Divorce, divorce, divorce, Liu Ai, divorce, even if Meng Yuzhi doesn't die, he doesn't mind this child calling him dad.
If Liuai wants to have a baby, he doesn't mind and will take care of Liuai and the child.
Liuai doesn't want to give birth, so she wants to go to the best hospital...
Lin Zhun took a deep breath and said, "Divorce, divorce, divorce." Lin Zhun exhaled deeply.
Divorce divorce divorce.
"Liu'ai, do you want this child?" Lin Zhun asked with a smile.
Chi Liuai shook his head.
Lin Jun stood up and wanted to take Chi Liuai to the hospital for a check-up first. Chi Liuai was unwilling and explained that she didn't know.
"I haven't even met my mother, how can I become a mother?"
Chi Liuai tugged at the corner of Lin Zhun's clothes, raised his eyes, tears welled up in his eyes, and said with a sob.
Lin Zhun stood up and looked at Chi Liuai, who was like a trembling cub.
This was the second time Chi Liuai took the initiative to mention "Mom" in front of Lin Zhun.
Lin Zhun's body and heart collapsed. He knelt on the ground and hugged Chi Liuai, who was defeated by the sudden appearance of the child.
The wall where she pretended to be strong collapsed.
How can a girl who has never seen her mother go beyond the stage of being cared for and educated by her mother and have her own children?
She could only tell Lin Zhun the news that she might be pregnant.
Lin Zhun looked at Chi Liuai's flushed face.
The memory was instantly brought back to the moment when Chi Liuai said "Mom" for the first time as a child.
Small mist appears on scrap steel.
There was steam, the machines were noisy, and the baby was crying. Lin Zhun picked her up and took her home.
After her mother passed away, Lin Zhun took her to Haicheng to join the wave of migrant workers in the south.
He had never mentioned their mother in front of Chi Liuai.
There's no need. It's enough that he's the only one suffering from the longing.
When little Liuai went to kindergarten, Lin Zhun was always the first parent to pick her up, and little Liuai would receive small gifts every day after school.
He was pushing the tricycle he used to make a living, and there was always the inevitable greasy dirt, and the clanging of pots and pans.
Xiao Liuai's skirt is always clean and she never likes to ride in a car.
He was walking and running in front of Lin Zhun, chattering about interesting things at school.
"Two plus one equals two." said Xiao Liuai.
Lin Zhun smiled: "Three."
Xiao Liuai said, "That's two."
Lin Zhun corrected: "Three."
This made little Liuai very angry. The teacher asked her, Liuai, if dad and mom were together and had you, how many people would there be in the family?
Xiao Liuai thought for a moment and said, “Two.”
The teacher corrected her several times and suddenly realized something. He touched her head and praised her for being smart.
Xiao Liuai's showing off was suppressed again and again by his brother. He suddenly stopped and stood with his hands on his hips, looking at his brother who was much taller than him. He was so tall and great.
Lin Zhun was also surprised. He stopped and looked at her intently.
Xiao Liuai spoke calmly in her childish voice, "Do you think you're so smart?! I already noticed my brother's mistake, I just didn't say anything!"
"What mistake?" Lin Zhun asked with a smile.
Xiao Liuai lowered the corner of his mouth with a cruel expression: "I knew you were not my brother!"
Lin Zhun took two steps back and his blood started to flow backwards. At that time, he was just a child. He could not imagine that his sister had no protection from him. He wondered if she was being bullied at school. Lin Zhun disliked that group of little boys. Every time he heard the laughter after school, he knew that Liu Ai had come out. A group of boys surrounded his sister. Were they bullying Liu Ai for not having a father or mother?
Lin Zhun gripped the handlebars and squeezed them tightly.
Would Liuai mind that he is not her biological brother?
Lin Zhun didn't know how to explain it.
I called her name softly, wanting to ask her if she wanted some ice cream.
Xiao Liuai refused to give in. At this time, the setting sun lengthened Xiao Liuai's shadow. The corner of the girl's skirt floated slightly in the air. She was against the red sky, and suddenly she curled her lips and recited softly.
"Mother."
What?
The wind is blowing.
The sound of Xiao Liuai and the wind blew into Lin Zhun's ears.
"The teacher said that the person who gave me life was my mother." Xiao Liuai corrected proudly, "You are my mother."
"I'm not my brother."
He swiped his fingers across the screen to zoom in on the real-time surveillance video. Meng Yuzhi stared intently at the girl in the house as she threw herself into the man's arms.
After a long time, he ordered the servants to prepare a guest room in the main house, the one farthest from Liuai's bedroom.
