Chapter 777: The Old Man’s Pride
Xiao Shiqiu looked at her with disgust, even with a hint of hatred, "When you wanted to abort the child, why didn't you ask yourself why you had the heart to give her up?
My uncle thought that the baby in your belly was my cousin's only child, so he asked me to marry you so that you could give birth to the child.
Now that my uncle and his family have passed away, there's no need to continue this lie. I will publicly declare that Xiao Tiantian has no blood relationship with the Xiao family. As for whether she wants to take the last name He or Xiao, she has nothing to do with the Xiao family anymore."
I was stunned listening to this. The plot twist was so exciting.
I quietly retreated to the side, wanting to sit quietly and eat the melon, but I saw He Qingrong suddenly kneeling down, which startled me so much that I almost stood up again.
She begged Xiao Shiqiu with tears in her eyes: "Shiqiu, I beg you, Tiantian knows nothing, she is innocent.
This is all my fault, don't take your anger out on Tiantian, she's already in a very pitiful state."
Xiao Shiqiu quickly took a step back when she knelt, frowning in disgust. "Do you realize how pitiful your daughter is now? When you did this back then, why didn't you think about what kind of situation she would face if the truth were to be revealed one day?"
He Qingrong no longer looked like a lady as usual. Although there were few people in the hospital at night, there were still occasional people passing by and seeing He Qingrong kneeling on the ground crying miserably. Although they didn't know what had happened, it didn't stop them from looking at Xiao Shiqiu with unfriendly eyes.
When they saw me sitting on the side, concentrating on eating melons, I don’t know what kind of plot of a scumbag man and a resentful woman they imagined, and the look in their eyes when they looked at me became complicated.
So whenever I heard footsteps, I pretended to look at my phone to appear not to be in the same group with them.
After the third person passed by, Xiao Shiqiu couldn't help but say, "Get up first. Even if you're not Mrs. Xiao anymore, you're still a member of the He family. If someone takes a picture of you like this and posts it online, what do you think your father will say?"
He Qingrong froze, looked around, lowered her head and stood up.
Xiao Shiqiu was too tall and might not have seen it, but from my angle I could see it clearly. A flash of viciousness flashed across He Qingrong's face.
When she raised her head again, she still looked so sad.
He Qingrong still pleaded bitterly, "Shiqiu, please don't tell anyone, okay? Can't you just let Tiantian think that she is a member of the Xiao family? At worst, at worst, she won't need the Xiao family to provide a dowry when she gets married."
Xiao Shiqiu didn't answer directly, but asked: "So who is her biological father? Does he know about Tiantian's existence?"
He Qingrong pursed her lips and said nothing.
Xiao Shiqiu sneered, "You won't tell me? Are you afraid that I will retaliate against him? Why should our Xiao family acknowledge a child with an unknown father and suffer such a huge loss?"
"I, I have my own difficulties..." The sadness on He Qingrong's face did not seem fake.
"Then tell me about your difficulties. I'm very curious about why you let the Xiao family take such a big blame. What are your difficulties?"
He Qingrong calmed down and glanced at me. "Can you let irrelevant people leave?"
I was listening with great interest when she suddenly stopped me. I immediately pouted unhappily and squinted at Xiao Shiqiu. He immediately understood and said confidently, "She's my fiancée, not an outsider. There's nothing she can't hear. Even if she's not here with me right now, I'll tell her everything."
He Qingrong looked at me with even more resentment, and the corners of my mouth were almost unable to suppress the curve.
Seeing that Xiao Shiqiu was defending me so much, He Qingrong had no choice but to tell him everything that happened that year.
It turned out that He Qingrong was dating a law student from B University, but she knew very well that the He family would not agree to her marrying a poor student with no family background. Her mother had told her since she was a child that she would marry into the four top families in Beijing in the future.
So even though she was very attracted to the poor student at that time, she did not dare to go beyond the line, for fear that people would find out if she married into the Xiao family.
Unexpectedly, her mother felt that Xiao Shiqiu had always been lukewarm towards her and didn't seem to be very interested in her, so she simply gritted her teeth and wanted her to make the matter a fait accompli first, so that the Xiao family would feel embarrassed to deny it.
"Did your mother ask you to drug me? So you like someone else, but your mother asked you to marry into the Xiao family." Xiao Shiqiu's tone was calm, but his eyes were still very cold.
It turns out that He Qingrong’s first love was not Xiao Shiqiu. He had always thought that he was He Qingrong’s white moonlight.
I laughed secretly, and I was afraid that the old man's self-esteem would be shattered to the ground.
He Qingrong hesitated for a moment and said, "I liked you at first, but you were always cold to me. I also knew you liked Bai Yue, so I gave up. Who would continue to like someone who has no interest in them?"
At this point, she smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "I was young, beautiful, and from a wealthy family. Wouldn't it be good to find a man who loved me?
If my mother hadn't forced me, I wouldn't have drugged you. I just didn't expect that Shi Yan would drink it by mistake."
Xiao Shiqiu suddenly said, "Do you know that your cousin has always liked you?"
He Qingrong raised her head abruptly and asked in disbelief, "What did you say?"
"I said my cousin has always liked you and he really wants to marry you."
He Qingrong's breathing became a little rapid, and her face turned red and white, but she soon regained her composure. She smiled bitterly and said, "Even if he likes me, so what? He still left so early."
"You were with that poor student after that night with him?"
He Qingrong nodded. After that night, she felt a little regretful that it was not Xiao Shiqiu who slept with her, but no matter what, the matter was a foregone conclusion, and Xiao Shiyan was also a member of the Xiao family, so she had fulfilled her mother's instructions.
She thought that since she had lost her virginity, why not indulge herself.
The poor student who was admitted to B was naturally very talented and good-looking. He was better at coaxing girls than the Xiao brothers. Under his tender offensive, He Qingrong half-heartedly got together with him.
After the first time, there was a second time. She had not graduated yet at that time, and she was wandering between two men, and she was living like a fish in water. Not long after, she became pregnant. When she knew she was pregnant, her mother was very happy, thinking that her marriage into the Xiao family was settled.
"I was quite scared at the time because I wasn't sure whose child it was, so I told my mother.
She slapped me and told me that the child was Xiao Shiyan's, and that it was his no matter who asked. She also forbade me to tell that poor student or to have any contact with him.
She paused and continued, "He could have stayed in City A, but my mother was afraid he would contact me again, so she used some means to get him back home."
Xiao Shiqiu said coldly: "Where is that poor student now?"
"T City."
