Chapter 385 Give Birth to the Child

Ye Junlin said coldly, "I am the child's father, so of course I have the right to decide to keep him."

"Yi Huan is the mother of the child, so she has the right to decide not to have the child." Gu Mian smiled, "Yi Huan is still young, and she has a long way to go. How can she fall in love and get married with two children?"

Ye Junlin's face turned even colder. "She wants to date and marry someone else with my child?"

"What else?" Gu Mian just thought it was funny, "Could it be that she left you and couldn't have a new life of her own?"

"Of course she will fall in love and get married, and she will have children, but not with you, but with another man."

Xu Yihan wanted to speak, but was stopped by Gu Mian's look, so he had to hold it in.

She has never thought about falling in love or getting married. Her idea is very simple: work hard and raise Xinxin well.

After experiencing Ye Junlin, she realized that love is not the only thing in life.

Yes, it is the icing on the cake.

No, it does not affect her future life.

Ye Junlin's face was as gloomy as water. "I gave Xinxin to her out of kindness, but if she dares to take Xinxin with another man, I will make her regret it..."

Gu Mian protected Xu Yihan, "Brother, no matter how powerful you are, you still have to be reasonable. Yihan is single, so of course she can fall in love and get married with other men. You have no right to stop her, and you can't stop her."

Ye Junlin glanced at Xu Yihan with a warning look, "We'll have to see if she has the guts to do it."

After saying this, the man turned around and left.

Gu Mian almost rolled his eyes, turned around, took Xu Yihan's hand and sat down on the sofa, "Yihan, are you okay?"

Xu Yihan shook his head gently, "It's okay."

"Why didn't you tell my brother?" Gu Mian asked, "Although this private hospital is not under the name of the Ye family, the boss behind the scenes knows my brother and knows your relationship. When he knew you were admitted to the hospital for miscarriage, he immediately sent someone to notify my brother."

"So that's how it is..." Xu Yihan curled his lips, "It's my fault for not understanding it clearly in advance."

"This is not a matter of understanding or not." Gu Mian said seriously, "My brother doesn't like being deceived. If you really had an abortion today, he would definitely be even angrier."

"Yihuan, I know you want to leave my brother, but let's be honest. You should discuss this matter with him about the child."

"Mianmian, when you were not here just now, we discussed this matter. From what he said, he doesn't mind me giving birth to the child. After all, to him, it's just a matter of spending some money."

Gu Mian frowned, "Did my brother really say that?"

"Um."

"Your body has not fully recovered yet. Having a baby at this time will have a great impact on your body. I will talk to my brother and ask him to change his mind."

"Mianmian, I have a feeling that this time, even you won't be able to convince him."

"How do you know if you don't try?" Gu Mian said, "Don't worry, the Ye family is reasonable. Even if Grandpa knows, he will definitely protect you first."

"Thank you, Mianmian." Xu Yihan said self-reproachfully, "Today's incident was my fault. I clearly promised you to discuss it with Junlin first, but I broke my promise."

"It's meaningless to talk about what has already happened." Gu Mian said, "I just hope my brother won't get rebellious because he's against you on this matter..."

......

Gu Mian took Xu Yihan home first, and then went to Ye's house after dinner.

"Mianmian is back?" Old Master Ye greeted her with a smile, "Why didn't you bring Niannian back with you?"

"Nian Nian is painting at home. Grandpa, is my brother here?"

"He's in the study. He said he had a video conference." Old Master Ye complained, "I think he's acting weird today."

"What's strange about that?"

"I can't really say, but Grandpa watched him grow up, so he would be the first to notice if he was acting strange." Grandpa Ye said, "Did something happen?"

"It's a long story. I'll report back to you after I talk to my brother."

"Okay, go find him."

"Um."

Gu Mian knocked on the door and came to Ye Junlin's study. Just as Mr. Ye said, Ye Junlin was indeed in a video conference.

He raised his eyes and saw that it was Gu Mian, and motioned for her to sit down first.

Within a few minutes, Ye Junlin ended the meeting, stood up and walked to the sofa and sat down, "Mianmian, you came to see me specifically about Xu Yihan?"

"Yes." Gu Mian asked, "Brother, what are your plans for this child?"

Ye Junlin took out a cigarette and lit it, then said calmly, "Mianmian, after returning from the hospital, I calmed down and thought carefully about what you said."

"That's right. It was because I didn't take proper safety measures that I had this child. I don't love Xu Yihan, but I had to give in for your and Grandpa's sake, so I agreed when you wanted to give Xinxin to her."

Gu Mian nodded. "With your ability, you could indeed keep Xinxin in the Ye family, but you still gave her to Yihuan. I know you gave in."

"I did this not only for your and Grandpa's sake, but also for Xinxin." Ye Junlin blew out a smoke ring. "Xinxin depends on Xu Yihan, and as a father, I can't be with her 24 hours a day like her mother."

"For the sake of the children, I have to give in."

"Let's talk about the baby in Xu Yihan's belly. I was indeed wrong for not using contraception. But is Xu Yihan not at fault for what happened today?"

"If she could come to me and make it clear that she didn't want to have children, I would tend to respect her and arrange for the hospital to perform an abortion for her."

Ye Junlin blew out a smoke ring, his face turned colder, "But she didn't say hello to me and went to have the surgery behind my back. If the surgery is successful today, I won't even know that I once had a child. To me, this is a deception."

"There are very few people in this world who dare to deceive me, because deceiving me will not end well. Of course I will make her pay for her actions."

Gu Mian explained, "Brother, I believe Yi Huan was just worried that you two wouldn't be able to reach an agreement after she told you, so she decided to handle this matter privately. Don't be angry with her."

"Mianmian, she is an adult now. She has to take responsibility for her mistakes." Ye Junlin curled his lips and sneered, "For your sake, I will give her a chance and agree to let her have the baby aborted."

Gu Mian always felt vaguely uneasy, "But what?"

"Mianmian, you are smart and know there is a but." Ye Junlin smiled, "But, Xinxin must be returned to me."

Gu Mian frowned, "How could Yi Huan agree to return Xin Xin?"

"I've said before, if you do something wrong, you have to pay the price." Ye Junlin flicked the ash with his slender fingertips. "It's okay if Xinxin doesn't want to return it. She still has another choice, which is to give birth to the baby in her belly and let me raise it."

Gu Mian: "......"

She was silent for a moment, then said, "Brother, you love Xinxin Niannian very much, so I can see that you like children."

"If you like children, you can fall in love, get married, and have children with the woman you love. That's the right thing to do."

"You can't ask Huan Yuhuan to have a baby for you when you don't like her. It's very unfair to her."

"When a woman gives birth, it's like going through the gates of hell. She's already been there once, and you want her to go there a second time. I don't think that's reasonable."

"If you think it's unreasonable, go and persuade her to give Xinxin back to me." Ye Junlin smiled faintly, "Xinxin can't live without her, but the child just needs some time, and she will get used to it."

"I believe Xinxin will not live worse in the Ye family than with her."

"I have finished what I want to say. You can go and talk to her and ask her what choice she wants to make."

......

When Gu Mian returned home, Xu Yihan was coaxing Xinxin to sleep.

Seeing Gu Mian coming in, Xu Yihan immediately handed Xinxin to the nanny, followed Gu Mian out, and asked anxiously, "Mianmian, what's wrong?"

Gu Mian shook his head and conveyed Ye Junlin's words to Xu Yihan exactly as they were.

After hearing this, Xu Yihan fell on the sofa, "It's my fault... I should have listened to you and confessed to him instead of secretly getting an abortion... Mianmian, I regret it so much..."

"It's useless to regret now." Gu Mian said truthfully, "Yi Huan, you should be more cautious when making decisions in the future, especially for such a big thing."

Xu Yihan covered her face with her hands and burst into tears.

"Yihuan, stop crying." Gu Mian sighed, "I can see that my brother is very angry. He doesn't even look at me well, let alone you. So even if you go to him, it will be useless."

"Mianmian!" Xu Yihan suddenly grabbed Gu Mian's hand and begged, "I beg you to help me. Please prepare a Chinese medicine for me so that I can abort this baby, okay?"

Gu Mian was shocked, "You want me to help you abort the baby without telling my brother?"

"Yes, I really can't think of any other way!"

"No." Gu Mian refused decisively. "Yi Huan, I have always respected you. I have no bias in this matter. I have always been analyzing it for you from the perspective of an outsider."

"I will not persuade you to keep the baby because of your health, but I will definitely not give you drugs to kill the baby in your belly. After all, it is a life."

"As parents, you don't want him. I have no right to interfere and cannot stop it, but I definitely don't want to be his executioner."

"Don't go. The child in your belly is related to me by blood. I am his aunt. How could I do such a thing?"

Xu Yihan cried silently without saying a word.

Gu Mian continued, "And Yihuan, can you please not take things so lightly? My brother is furious right now. If you dare to continue to secretly abort the child without his knowledge, I can tell you clearly that the worst outcome is that he will forcefully take Xinxin away, and you may never see Xinxin again."

"Can you handle this situation?"

Xu Yihan was completely stunned.

"Mianmian...really...really?"

"My brother's meaning is very clear. If you give birth to this child, he will raise it. If you abort the child, Nian Nian will belong to him."

"You secretly aborted the child, so didn't that mean you had chosen the latter option? With his strong character and his unyielding personality, he would definitely take Nian Nian away from you."

Xu Yihan sobbed, "So I have no other choice but to give birth to this child and give it to him, right?"

"But Mianmian, you are also a mother, you should understand very well, after I have been pregnant for ten months and given birth to this child, how could I bear to give him away?"

"At the moment, you really don't have any more choices." Gu Mian analyzed, "For now, we can only take this matter one step at a time. Of course, my brother is angry now. Wait until he calms down, maybe there will be a turnaround."

"So Yihuan, listen to me, don't act impulsively. With your current abilities, you can't compete with my brother."

"My brother is very good to me, but he has his own bottom line. If you continue to anger him, I am worried that I will not be able to protect your rights."

Xu Yihan nodded while crying, "Mianmian, I understand. I will listen to you and will never act impulsively again."

......

Gu Mian returned to the room and made a video call to Li Tingshen.

Li Tingshen saw her sad face and asked, "Wife, what's wrong? Didn't you have a happy chat with Jun Lin?"

Gu Mian nodded and told him what happened.

Li Tingshen smiled after hearing this, "Your brother is just being angry. Don't take his words to heart. He doesn't mean anything against you."

Gu Mian raised his eyebrows, "You men understand men best, so tell me, what is my brother's mentality now?"

Li Ting took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "I told you, he's angry because he was cheated."

"Once his anger subsides, will his attitude change?" Gu Mian asked hurriedly.

"I can't guarantee that." Li Ting analyzed deeply, "Jun Lin is not someone who hates children. If I were him, I would also choose to keep the child."

Gu Mian pouted, "It's so easy to say that I want this child...but the mother's body won't allow it."

Li Ting said, "Wife, if your body doesn't allow it, I certainly won't let you give birth to this child, because I love you. In my heart, you are a thousand times more important than the child."

"But Jun Lin treats Xu Yihuan differently. He doesn't love Xu Yihuan, so he naturally doesn't consider her physical condition."

"That is to say, after weighing the pros and cons, he would still choose to have this child. To put it bluntly, the problem is that he has no feelings for Xu Yihan."

Gu Mian nodded, "That is indeed the problem."

Li Ting asked deeply, "Will it really be dangerous for Xu Yihan to give birth to this child?"

Gu Mian shook his head gently. "With my godmother and I here, and with the advanced medical technology nowadays, her life will not be in danger."

"It's just that her body hasn't fully recovered yet, and it's not the best time for her to have a baby."

Li Ting nodded deeply, "Since there is no danger to her life, it is even more impossible for Jun Lin to compromise. I think this matter can only be resolved by Yi Huan giving birth to the child."

Gu Mian disagreed, "From a man's perspective, you can empathize with my brother. But from a woman's perspective, I can empathize with Ye Huan more."

"After ten months of pregnancy and giving birth to a child, how could she bear to give the child to my brother to raise and accept the separation of flesh and blood?"

"So I understand her very well. Her idea is that if she can't give her child a complete family and a good growth environment, she would rather give up the child."

"And you have to know that if the baby is removed through abortion, the person who will suffer the most is Xu Yihan herself."
