Chapter 38: Leave this child?
Jiang Xu suddenly woke up.
When I realized it was just a dream, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It was just getting light outside. Looking at the time, it was only five o'clock. Jiang Xu sat up from the bed and gently stroked her belly.
It was flat there, but there was indeed life growing there.
In her previous life, this child accompanied her through the worst days. Every time she felt discouraged and almost in despair, it would move gently, as if to encourage her.
She often whispers to the child.
"Baby, are you a boy or a girl? If it's a boy, I might not know how to take care of him. If it's a girl, Mommy will buy you lots of pretty dresses."
"Baby, actually mom and dad used to love each other very much, but... I don't know why it turned out like this."
"Baby, after I give birth to you, I will tell your father the truth. You are his biological child. He is very responsible and will definitely love you well."
At that time, she still had hope for He Yanting and their future.
Until Jiang Xueruo told her the news of Xia's bankruptcy.
Only then did she realize that He Yanting had no feelings for her at all.
It was obvious that the child would be born in a few days, but she had no choice but to jump off a tall building with the child.
"I'm sorry, baby. I know you want to see the world too."
Jiang Xu's tears fell one by one.
She lay on her side on the bed, hugged herself with her arms, and stared blankly out the window at the gradually brightening light.
After crying for a while, she fell asleep again.
In her dream, a pair of soft little arms hugged her, and the breath of milk blew on her face: "Mom, don't cry, I'm with you."
In an instant, all the haze in Jiang Xu's heart disappeared, and he was surrounded by happiness.
Until the alarm clock woke her up.
"Baby."
She opened her eyes, cried out subconsciously, lowered her head and touched her belly, "Were you comforting your mother just now?"
Jiang Xu's heart softened as she sobbed, "What should I do if you're like this?"
It almost came into the world in the previous life. The thought of killing it again made Jiang Xu feel as if his heart was being torn apart.
Suddenly, an idea came to my mind.
Or... leave it?
No, that would make it even more difficult for her to sever her ties with He Yanting.
Maybe I can go abroad while my belly is still small and raise it abroad, and my mother can help too.
Jiang Xu had a terrible headache.
Forget it, don’t think about it for now, it’s time to catch the plane.
As for whether to keep this child, I will decide after I leave my job.
Because the business trip was only three days, Jiang Xu didn't bring much with her, only a very small suitcase.
She didn't drive and chose to take a taxi to the airport.
As she was driving, she saw a group of people gathered around a shop on the street, making a lot of noise and seeming to be arguing about something.
"What happened over there?"
She looked over curiously.
The driver, a chatty older man, boomed, "You don't even know this? It's a pharmacy. They were caught selling expired medication, and it was all over the local news. Those people were there to demand compensation!"
"pharmacy?"
Jiang Xu looked at the sign of the store, his brain suddenly buzzed, and he immediately took out his mobile phone to check.
Sure enough, it was the same store where I bought the contraceptive pills.
She was a little amused and confused. It seemed that she had bought an expired product. No wonder she still got pregnant.
God really likes to play tricks on people.
When we arrived at the airport, Luo Jiaming and other colleagues were already there. The plane took off quickly and landed safely in Wei City two hours later. The group then headed to the resort.
This resort was invested by Shengyu Group and was about to open, so they happened to be staying here.
After lunch, I started busy work.
When we finished work, it was almost dark and the person in charge of the resort said that a barbecue party had been prepared.
Everyone was already hungry, and they were very happy when they heard it.
Wei City is close to the sea and is a tourist city. The resort is built on the seaside and the scenery is very beautiful.
A colleague said excitedly: "Drinking beer and eating barbecue on the beach, and feeling the sea breeze, it's so beautiful just thinking about it."
Everyone returned to their rooms, changed their clothes and prepared to attend the dinner.
Jiang Xu changed into a light yellow beach dress with a thin strap wrapped around her neck, revealing her snow-white shoulders, and she wore flip-flops on her feet.
She let her hair down again. She had kept her hair long and it was already waist length.
Once she was ready, she planned to go over.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Luo Jiaming standing at the door.
When he saw Jiang Xu, he was stunned at first, then he looked her up and down with a look of amazement, and blurted out: "You are so beautiful."
Jiang Xu asked, "Are you looking for me?"
Luo Jiaming nodded: "Let's go together."
The two walked side by side towards the beach. Luo Jiaming asked Jiang Xu, "What are your plans after resigning?"
Jiang Xu didn't want to talk too much about himself, so he said vaguely, "I haven't thought it through yet."
Luo Jiaming asked: "Do you want to come to my company? You can set your salary."
Jiang Xu laughed: "Aren't you afraid that I'll ask for too much?"
Luo Jiaming shook his head: "You are not that kind of person."
Jiang Xu said: "No, I have other plans."
Luo Jiaming pursed his lips, hesitant to speak: "Will you and He Yanting get married?"
Jiang Xu lowered his head, "This... I can't say for sure."
She didn't really want to talk about these topics. Just then, another group of colleagues came over. Jiang Xu immediately greeted them, and Luo Jiaming stopped talking.
Jiang Xu deliberately lagged behind by two steps and walked with another female colleague.
The colleague named Jiaojiao nudged Jiang Xu and winked, "It seems Luo Jiaming is really pursuing you. Do you agree?"
Jiang Xu said helplessly: "Don't talk nonsense, it's not true."
Jiaojiao curled her lips: "Do you really think we are blind? Luo Jiaming treats you differently than others. There are several girls in the company chasing him. Xinya from the next group is so beautiful. It is said that she invited Luo Jiaming to see a movie, and Luo Jiaming directly refused, but he always takes the initiative to look for you."
"I heard his family is very rich. Someone checked the watch he was wearing that day. If it's real, it must be worth millions. Doesn't that mean his family assets are over 100 million?"
"Jiang Xu, if I were you, I would agree immediately. Luo Jiaming is handsome and a rich second-generation, why are you still hesitating?"
Jiang Xu listened and felt that Jiaojiao lacked imagination.
The Luo family's assets are not over 100 million, but tens of billions. The watch Luo Jiaming wears should be the cheapest one he bought to keep a low profile.
Jiaojiao kept talking all the way, but Jiang Xu just smiled and said nothing.
When we got to the beach, everyone started to get lively.
In addition to them, there are also colleagues who came here a few days ago, plus the resort staff, there are about twenty people in total.
Everyone was eating barbecue and chatting, it was very lively.
Jiang Xu felt that everyone was looking at her and Luo Jiaming with ambiguous eyes, so she deliberately avoided him and didn't talk to him much.
After they had almost finished eating, someone lit a bonfire and played music.
The bonfire, more than one meter tall, was burning with flames, instantly igniting the atmosphere. Everyone cheered and began to twist their bodies and dance.
"Let's dance around the bonfire!"
I don't know who proposed it, but it was unanimously agreed upon by everyone.
Everyone immediately held hands, and before Jiang Xu could react, someone held her left hand.
Turning around, it was Luo Jiaming.
She wanted to pull it out, but Luo Jiaming increased his strength. Jiang Xu wanted to say something, but her right hand was held by Jiaojiao. Everyone formed a circle and started dancing.
There was no way, Jiang Xu had to hold it in.
Everyone danced and spun around to the music, the firelight made everyone feel warm, and the surroundings were filled with laughter. Jiang Xu couldn't help but be infected by the atmosphere and started laughing.
After the dance, everyone felt a little tired and stopped to pant.
Suddenly, the person opposite Jiang Xu noticed something, looked behind Jiang Xu, and asked in surprise, "Mr. He?"
Jiang Xu turned around and saw a tall and straight figure standing on the steps.
He almost blended into the night, and his face could not be seen clearly, but one could vaguely sense the cold aura emanating from him.
