It was definitely too late to have a surrogate birth now, and Xu Jing wasn't happy about Su Shiyan giving birth. After much deliberation, the safest option was to abort the mother and keep the child.
"Among uncle's illegitimate children, are there any young, well-behaved, sensible and obedient ones? If auntie is willing, she can kill the goose that lays the golden eggs and replace them."
Su's mother's face was solemn, and she was secretly complaining that this kid was not simple. He was so calm when talking about breaking the law. It would be a great loss if such a person became an enemy. Su's mother had also considered what Ye Wenci said. She was worried that the child she adopted would not be able to raise well.
If he finds out his identity in the future, the Su family will inevitably be in trouble.
Su's mother felt that it was not worth it to cause so much trouble for the sake of momentary pleasure.
"I will let Shi Yan give me a son. From now on, as long as you don't get along with him openly, I will do whatever you want."
Su's mother has already stepped down and hopes that Ye Wenci will not be ungrateful.
But Xu Jing refused to buy into Su's mother's empty promises and said bluntly, "The truth will come to light sooner or later. Auntie, not only are you harming the girl by doing this, but what will happen to the child? You and Uncle will grow old, and by then he will have to rely on Su Shiyan for his livelihood. Do you think he will have a good life?"
“Are you threatening me?”
"I dare not. I'm just stating the facts. I understand that you're worried about not being able to raise your rival's son, but I'm not happy about Su Shiyan sacrificing himself for your benefit. You only have one way out now: either raise the child yourself and restore the glory of the Su family, or wait for both sides to be destroyed. Auntie is a smart person, so she won't understand what I mean, right?"
Mother Su sneered. "How do you know Shi Yan won't change his mind and fall in love with someone else? You're still pretty now, but as you get older, it's inevitable that men will get tired of the old and find a new lover. Then your fate will be even worse than theirs!"
"That's a good thing for you, too." Xu Jing smiled. "You know, forcibly separating a couple will only make the situation worse. You'll be at odds with both your son and your uncle. Under attack from both sides, even if you have a lot to rely on, you'll ultimately lose miserably. It's better to turn a blind eye and agree to this. Don't you agree?"
It would take more than a day or two for Su's mother to figure it out, so Xu Jing gave her time to think about it slowly.
According to Su's mother's logic, no matter how outstanding he was, as long as he was male, he was still not worthy of Su Shiyan. Even if Xu Jing humbled himself, it would not bring back Su's mother's conscience.
Instead of worrying about his son's future, it would be better to abandon the large trumpet and start practicing the small trumpet. After all, the probability of success of the small trumpet is much higher than that of a mature large trumpet.
Su's mother is indeed a person of action. After thinking about it for five days at home, she chose to let go.
At that time, Su Shiyan came back from a business trip and heard from Chen Kang that Su's mother had attacked Ye Wenci. He didn't even bother to go to work and just returned home with his clothes.
Su Shiyan opened the door with trepidation. Seeing the empty room, he felt a mixture of anger and grievance. He didn't know what to do, as if he had overturned a bottle of five flavors.
His mind was empty, and he instinctively pushed open the bedroom door. After seeing Ye Wenci sleeping on the lounge chair on the balcony, his lost heart returned.
Su Shiyan threw his clothes on the bed and ran over to hug Ye Wenci. "You didn't leave?"
"You scared me." Xu Jing glared at him. If he hadn't been so strong, he would have fallen. "Are you back from your business trip?"
"Yeah." Su Shiyan hugged Xu Jing and picked him up with gritted teeth. "What are you doing?"
"Don't move." Su Shiyan held him firmly. After seeing the position of the bed, he threw him onto the bed without mercy. "Su Shiyan, you are so rebellious... well."
He turned over and pressed down, holding Xu Jing's face and kissing him fiercely. Eyebrows, eyes, nose, lips... no one was spared. Xu Jing reached out to push him away, and suddenly felt the wet heat on his face.
The little crybaby really can't change his habits. He gets impulsive when something happens, and then feels wronged after the impulse.
Xu Jing knew that Su Shiyan didn't like to cry, he just couldn't help himself in front of him.
He sighed, held her in his arms, and patted Su Shiyan's back gently. "Okay, don't cry."
"I thought you were gone." Su Shiyan clung tightly to his chest, tears streaming down her face. "You promised me you wouldn't leave."
"You're overthinking it. I just stayed here with you to relax after being fired for the past two days."
"Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing? Do you think I'm incompetent and unworthy of your reliance?"
Xu Jing felt a headache. He was the one who was injured. Why did Su Shiyan feel wronged?
If we continue to indulge them, who knows what might happen. We can't indulge them any more, we need to show some strength.
"Yes." Xu Jing pushed him away and said coldly, "Even if I give you ten years, you won't be able to settle your family. It's better to have no hope from the beginning than to be sad at that time. It's actually easier this way."
"Do you really think so?" It turned out that in Ye Wenci's heart, he was such a coward. Since he was not worthy of Ye Wenci, why did Ye Wenci agree to be with him? Was it out of sympathy?
But Su Shiyan doesn't want sympathy. He doesn't want others to feel sorry for him.
"If it were you, what would you do?"
Su Shiyan thought he wouldn't fall out with his family. But if he didn't, Ye Wenci would definitely be wronged. If Ye Wenci agreed, then he would be Ye Wenci's financial backer. Their relationship was destined to be unequal. Was that what he wanted?
Xu Jing sat on the edge of the bed and said coldly, "You can't just think about yourself, you have to consider my feelings too. You have so much, family, love, everything. But I left my hometown for you and had to endure the cold eyes of others. You said you loved me, but I don't believe it."
"Aci, I didn't. I never wanted to embarrass you from the beginning to the end. I really want to be with you."
"But you'll give me up for your parents." Xu Jing's words were a bit chilling, but they were the truth. If he were to choose between family and love, he would choose family. After all, parents who had raised him for over twenty years were much more reliable than love, so Su Shiyan's choice was understandable. However, he wouldn't brainwash himself into accepting an unequal treaty. He was free, not a tool for Su Shiyan's sake.
Su Shiyan thought a lot the moment he lowered his head. He felt like a bound beast. The ropes on his body held him tightly, strangling him so that he couldn't breathe.
At this moment, Ye Wenci was just a bystander. He retreated quickly but watched himself being tightly wrapped without offering any help. He wanted to break free and hold Ye Wenci's hand, but he couldn't.
"I won't give up my family for you."
Xu Jing nodded. "I know. So I understand your choice."
Xu Jing pulled away quickly, his steps moving with the wind. When he reached the door, Su Shiyan hugged his waist tightly. "Don't you want to let me go?"
"Yeah." The thought of Ye Wenci leaving him was heartbreaking, and he was basically relying on instinct to keep him and not let him go. "Ye Wenci, give me a year. I'll explain everything and then I'll go, okay? If a year doesn't work, then three months. If three months doesn't work, then one month. Ye Wenci, I don't want to give up on you."
