Chapter 889 Whose Child Is It?
In the conference room, Fu Nianjin was lying on the table, with Wen Songyi sitting beside her.
Upon seeing Shen Qingshu, Wen Songyi immediately stood up, "Aunt Shu."
"Xiao Yi, you can go out first. I have something I want to say to Niannian alone."
"Okay." Wen Songyi nodded, turned around and walked out of the conference room.
The conference room door closed again, and the atmosphere became awkward.
Shen Qingshu walked over and sat down next to Fu Nianjin, gently stroking her head.
Fu Nianjin remained motionless.
Seeing her like this, Shen Qingshu sighed softly: "Niannian, are you angry with your mother?"
Fu Nianjin remained silent and motionless.
Seeing her like this, Shen Qingshu felt bad too.
No matter what, you will always be my child.
Fu Nianjin could no longer hold back and suddenly looked up at Shen Qingshu.
"I'm not your child, Mom!" Fu Nianjin's face was streaked with tears, her eyes were red and swollen, she must have been crying for a long time, her voice was hoarse, "You still want to lie to me even now!"
Shen Qingshu frowned as she looked at her. "You are your mother's child. No matter what outsiders say, you will always be your mother's child."
“No…” Fu Nianjin shook her head, tears streaming down her face even more. “My mother’s name is Jiang Ruomi, and my father is Jin Que. My mother died a long time ago, and Jin Que… he is a terrorist criminal!”
"Who told you all this?" Shen Qingshu asked gravely. "Niannian, tell your mother the truth, who told you all this?"
“It’s Lu Zhao.” Fu Nianjin lowered her head. “As for why he knows all this, I don’t know…”
Shen Qingshu looked at her and asked, "What exactly is going on between you and Lu Zhao?"
Fu Nianjin was taken aback, sniffed, and said, "He's my boss."
"Niannian, even now, are you still going to hide it from your mother? Tell me the truth, is the child in your belly Lu Zhao's?"
Fu Nianjin remained silent for a few seconds, then shook her head. "The child isn't his!"
Hearing this, Shen Qingshu breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that it's not his. This Lu Zhao has a complicated background. It's best to stay away from this kind of person."
Fu Nianjin didn't say anything.
Shen Qingshu looked at her and fell silent.
A moment later, Shen Qingshu asked her, "What are your plans for this child? Does the child's father know?"
“Mom, I will give birth to the child. As for the child’s father…” Fu Nianjin shook her head, “I don’t want to say for now.”
"Okay, if you don't want to talk about it now, Mom won't force you. Let's talk about your background first."
Upon hearing Shen Qingshu's words, Fu Nianjin's tears flowed even more fiercely.
Shen Qingshu sighed and took out a few tissues to wipe her tears. "Silly girl, blood ties are important, but our more than 20 years of mother-daughter relationship is irreplaceable. Your father, your brother and sister, and I will always treat you as our own. Just because you know now that you are not our biological daughter, will you stop treating us as family?"
Fu Nianjin didn't speak, she just shook her head vigorously.
Shen Qingshu opened her arms and hugged her. "Niannian, your mother is a very, very good woman. If it weren't for her, your father and I might never have been able to reunite in this life. Your older brother and your second sister might never have had a complete family. Your mother is a benefactor to our family. However, she is also a woman with a tragic fate. She managed to save you and waited until you were full-term before giving birth, but in the end, she still passed away."
Upon hearing this, Fu Nianjin could no longer hold back her tears and burst into tears.
“Niannian, Ruomi entrusted you to me before she died. She loved Jin Que very much and loved him until her death, so your name is Nianjin.”
Fu Nianjin cried so hard she could barely breathe, her body trembling, "Does Jin Que... love her?"
Shen Qingshu paused for a few seconds before gently guiding, "Not all feelings in this world can be reciprocated perfectly. Niannian, you must understand that even if your biological parents don't love each other, they still love you the same."
Fu Nianjin fell silent.
She sobbed. She wasn't stupid; she knew the truth had come to this place. From Lu Zhao and Song Wenyuan's reactions, as well as her mother's reaction, she had already deduced the outcome.
"So, Jin Que loves you, Mom, right?"
Shen Qingshu was silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "His mother once saved his life by mistake, which caused him to have an obsession with his mother, but his mother felt that it was not love."
Fu Nianjin was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "So, Mom, do you still hate him now?"
Shen Qingshu thought for a moment and shook her head, "More than 20 years have passed, I don't hate them anymore."
"But he hasn't let go yet. The reason I learned the truth from Lu Zhao is because he tried every means to contact Lu Zhao. He used Lu Zhao to get close to me under the pretext of work. If it weren't for your birthday last time, Lu Zhao would have brought me to Switzerland long ago."
Shen Qingshu never expected things to turn out this way.
Jin Que has indeed performed well in the past few years, so the higher-ups have relaxed their supervision of him a bit.
Nevertheless, he was still not allowed to leave the room; however, he was granted the privilege of having a video conversation with investors involved in the medical research.
I thought that in such a public video conference under full surveillance, Jin Que wouldn't make any waves at all.
The results proved that Jin Que was underestimated.
Shen Qing calmed her thoughts and gently stroked Fu Nianjin's back. "Do you want to see him?"
Fu Nianjin was taken aback, then nodded, "I just want to see what the man my biological mother would risk her life for looks like."
Although Shen Qingshu didn't quite approve of Fu Nianjin meeting Jin Que, she would respect Fu Nianjin's decision if it was Fu Nianjin's decision.
"If you want to see her, Mom will come with you."
Fu Nianjin looked up at Shen Qingshu and asked, "Mom, can I really see him?"
“Silly child, this is your life. We hid your background from you because we wanted to give you a pure and happy environment to grow up in, and we didn’t want you to have any psychological burden because of it. But now that things have turned out this way, it’s only natural that you want to see your biological father.”
Fu Nianjin bit her lip. "He's not a good person. I thought you would do everything in your power to stop him."
“He is your biological father. If you didn’t want to see him, you wouldn’t be here today. You are an adult now and have your own thoughts, which your mother will respect. You don’t need to suppress your thoughts or feel ashamed for wanting to see him. This is normal; it’s human nature. Close relatives are people you can never sever ties with in this life. Your biological mother is gone, and he will never come out again in this lifetime. Since you’re here, it’s good to see him.”
Fu Nianjin hesitated for a moment before finally nodding. "Then I'll see him myself, Mom. You've already done so much for me. I know you don't want to see him again, so please don't compromise for my sake."
Shen Qingshu patted her head and said, "Our Niannian has finally grown up and can think about her mother now."
Upon hearing this, Fu Nianjin felt a lump in her throat and threw herself into Shen Qingshu's arms again, bursting into tears.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I was too willful this time, and I made you worry..."
"You scared your mother, but thankfully you're safe and sound." Shen Qingshu gently patted her daughter's back. "But, are you still not going to tell your mother whose child you're carrying?"
Fu Nianjin froze.
"Can I talk to you in a few days?" Fu Nianjin's voice choked with emotion. "This was an accident, I need some time."
Shen Qingshu was taken aback, her brows furrowing. She quickly pushed Fu Nianjin away from her embrace, held her shoulders, and looked into her eyes, "Niannian, what do you mean by this?"
Fu Nianjin bit her lip, her eyes brimming with tears, "Mom, please don't ask anymore..."
"How can I not ask?" Shen Qingshu's heart was in her throat. "Were you bullied? What happened? You have to tell your mother. You can't face this kind of thing alone."
Fu Nianjin bit her lip and lowered her head.
"Fu Nianjin, tell your mother the truth!" Shen Qingshu cried out anxiously, "You're going to drive your mother crazy!"
"Mom, don't worry, this is a long story..." Fu Nianjin looked embarrassed. "Give me some more time. After I see Jin Que, I'll tell you the truth, okay?"
