Chapter 555 Should we keep the child?
Song Lanyin asked the doctor, "Will her condition affect the fetus?"
"Currently, there seems to be no problem. Based on her last menstrual period and ultrasound, she is now 6 weeks and 5 days pregnant, and there is a fetal heartbeat and embryo."
Upon hearing this, Song Lanyin looked at Yu Yashi and asked, "What are your plans?"
Yu Yashi shook her head, almost bursting into tears.
Song Lanyin sighed, "Doctor, if she's alright now, can she go home?"
"Yes, the fetus is quite stable right now. If you plan to keep the baby, you can go to the hospital to register and have a prenatal check-up at 12 weeks. If you don't want to keep the baby, I suggest a medical abortion within 12 weeks, which is less harmful to your body."
Song Lanyin nodded, helped Yu Yashi to her feet, and said to the doctor, "We'll go back and discuss it before making a decision. Thank you, doctor."
"You're welcome, it's our job."
...
On the way back to the apartment from the hospital, Yu Yashi kept her head down and didn't say a word.
Back at the apartment, Song Lanyin pulled Yu Yashi to sit down on the sofa.
She glanced at the room, which hadn't been tidied up yet, and then turned to look at Yu Yashi.
After a moment, she sighed, "What are you planning to do now?"
Yu Yashi shook her head.
Song Lanyin sighed, "Is it really impossible to go back to the Yu family?"
“I…” Yu Yashi raised her head, looked at Song Lanyin, hesitated for a moment, and then said, “Grandma called me yesterday.”
"How so?"
"Let me go back and get married."
Song Lanyin frowned, "Is it still that third young master of the Jiang family?"
"Um."
"What did you say?"
"I didn't agree." Yu Yashi said, tears falling down her face. "Grandma was very disappointed in me. She scolded me and said I was ungrateful. She said that the Yu family gave birth to me and raised me, and now they just want me to marry into the Jiang family, but I don't even want that. She also said that if I don't agree to the marriage, I should never come back to the Yu family!"
“Then we won’t go back.” Song Lanyin said, “I’m not afraid to tell you, a family like the Yu family with its outdated thinking and distorted values is bound to fall sooner or later. Yu Shang was able to sit in the position of the head of the Yu family by taking advantage of Zhao Sini and being willing to go all out. But how long can the power gained through such dirty means last? Unfortunately, Yu Chengen is not clear-headed or ruthless enough. He can’t support the Yu family and will be dragged into the abyss by the Yu family. Yu Yashi, it’s actually a good thing that you’re leaving the Yu family.”
“I know the Yu family has always used us girls as tools for political marriages. My second sister… I mean, Yu Xin is the only exception. I used to think it was because she was outstanding enough, but after the truth came out, I realized that the reason Yu Xin was an exception was because Zhao Sini paved the way for her. As for me, I was sent to my grandmother's house from birth. She was very strict with my upbringing and told me from a young age that a woman's marriage should be arranged by her parents, that a woman should be reserved and virtuous, and that after marriage she should be a good wife and mother…”
"Please, the Qing Dynasty is long gone!" Song Lanyin couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted Yu Yashi. "You were young before, so it's one thing to be brainwashed, but you're 27 now. I don't believe you don't have any of your own thoughts. Or to put it another way, look at the girls around you who are the same age as you. Do you think your grandmother's education is normal?"
“I know it’s not normal.” Yu Yashi looked at Song Lanyin and wiped away her tears. “Actually, the first time I met you, Second Sister, I felt that you were very special. When I went on a blind date with Teacher Wen, I admit that I had feelings for him. He was very handsome and gentlemanly. The key point is that he was different from the rich young men I had been on blind dates with before. He didn’t look at me like I was an object. When I was with him, I felt that I was respected. This was very different from my experience at the Yu family and with other blind dates.”
Song Lanyin raised an eyebrow. "What? Are you trying to tell me that you still like Wen Jingxi?"
"I didn't!" Yu Yashi hurriedly shook her head in denial. "My appreciation for Teacher Wen wasn't really liking her. I just thought that if my marriage partner was Teacher Wen, my life would at least be a little better."
"I've always wanted to ask, since Grandpa Wen and Grandpa Yu are on good terms, why didn't Grandpa Yu show up when such a big thing happened to the Yu family?"
“Grandpa was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease a long time ago. He used to be able to be lucid for two or three days at a time, but in the last two years he has completely lost his memory. He can’t even recognize his family members now.”
"No wonder." Song Lanyin shook her head and sighed, "Then I'm even more certain that the Yu family is doomed!"
Yu Yashi pursed her lips, looking down at her stomach. "I don't want to be a tool to be manipulated anymore. I thought that now that I'm out, I could earn a living on my own, but......"
But it was at this very moment that she became pregnant!
That night was an accident, and she and Yu Changze never contacted each other again after that day.
She didn't dare tell Yu Changze, and she didn't think Yu Changze could accept the child.
It wasn't that she hadn't considered giving birth, but she was an unmarried woman with a child...
She lacked confidence that she could be a good mother.
"Why don't you try contacting Yu Changze?" Song Lanyin suddenly said.
Yu Yashi was taken aback, then shook her head vigorously, "We can't let Third Brother know!"
"Why?" Song Lanyin frowned. "Yu Changze has officially left the Yu family, and you two aren't related by blood. Maybe Yu Changze is willing to take responsibility?"
"I dare not!" Yu Yashi said, her face pale. "Third Brother has someone he likes!"
Song Lanyin: "..."
Between sympathizing with Yu Yashi and gossip, she chose gossip.
"How did you know?" Song Lanyin asked. "Did he tell you?"
“How could he possibly tell me!” Yu Yashi said, “I found out by chance, and he became a director because of that girl.”
Why didn't that girl end up with him?
“That girl is dead,” Yu Yashi said. “She was an orphan and very talented in painting, but she committed suicide during her freshman year of college due to depression.”
Song Lanyin was taken aback.
Artistic talent, depression...
Song Lanyin immediately grasped these two key pieces of information.
No wonder Yu Changze was so fixated on Qi Mingxuan's paintings; it turns out he saw the shadow of that girl in Qi Mingxuan.
"Second sister, please don't tell third brother, okay? That night was just an accident," Yu Yashi held Song Lanyin's hand tightly. "I'll secretly abort the child. I don't want to make things difficult for third brother, and I don't want him to hate me because of this!"
Song Lanyin looked at Yu Yashi, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
"Alright, you're an adult now. It's your own business, you can make your own decisions. I respect that." Song Lanyin patted her hand and said, "When are you going to the hospital?"
"I'll go after your wedding," Yu Yashi said. "It won't make a difference if I go in a few days. I want to attend your wedding, but I can't be your bridesmaid."
“It’s okay, I’ll find someone else as bridesmaid.” Song Lanyin paused, then added, “But I have to tell you first that Yu Changze will be coming back to my wedding. I’ve already sent him an invitation.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Yashi hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "I understand."
"Don't worry, he's the best man, he'll probably be very busy that day." Song Lanyin glanced at the time, stood up and said, "Then you should get some rest. We'll have someone come over to help with the preparations. Take care of yourself these next few days, and call me anytime if anything comes up."
"I'm fine, Second Sister, you focus on your wedding."
"Then I'm leaving." Song Lanyin waved her hand and turned to walk out.
Yu Yashi saw her to the door, watched her walk into the elevator, and then went back inside and closed the door.
Looking at the things all over the room, Yu Yashi looked dejected.
Her back was pressed against the door panel, and her hand unconsciously touched her lower abdomen.
There is a little life here.
But she didn't have the courage to keep it.
