Chapter 177 Your Mom and Dad Don't Want You Anymore
No one expected that Gan Xiaoxing could get pregnant while in prison!
When Yu Yan learned that Gan Xiaoxing was pregnant, she immediately looked at Jing Heng. Seeing his pale face and bewildered eyes, she knew what had happened.
—The child in Gan Xiaoxing's belly is Xiang Jingheng's.
That is, Gan Xiaoxing had this child before she was arrested.
In other words, even after knowing all the terrible things Gan Xiaoxing had done to her and Xiang Chu, Xiang Jingheng still had relations with her despite their past grievances.
That's amazing!
Yu Yan looked at Xiang Jingheng with a cold gaze; she even admired him somewhat.
If this isn't true love, what is?
He had done all sorts of dirty things with Gan Xiaoxing behind her back, yet he still had the audacity to interfere with her dating life.
Ah, when people are shameless, they are invincible.
The moment Xiang Jingheng and Yu Yan locked eyes, he felt utterly ashamed.
All his pride and confidence crumbled the moment Yu Yan looked at him after he learned that Gan Xiaoxing was pregnant!
Gan Xiaoxing committed numerous evil deeds, including hiring someone to kill Yu Yan and Xiang Chu, but he also got Gan Xiaoxing pregnant—she was carrying his child.
Now, no matter how much he explains or defends himself, no one believes him anymore.
Yu Yan... would not believe it either.
Seeing the undisguised indifference and mockery in Yu Yan's eyes, Xiang Jingheng's stomach began to ache, the pain causing him to cramp.
He lost his balance, his tall frame bent over, clutching his stomach and almost squatting on the ground, his face contorted, and sweat pouring from his forehead.
When he was dazed from the pain and Mei Nan helped him up, he looked up again and found that Yu Yan and Shao Muyan were gone.
-
Xiang Jingheng was admitted to the hospital in the middle of the night and almost suffered a perforated stomach.
Mei Nan felt a wave of fear wash over her, her eyes reddening. She busied herself taking care of Xiang Jingheng all night. The doctors and nurses praised her in front of Xiang Jingheng, saying, "Your girlfriend is so virtuous. You're so lucky."
Xiang Jingheng pursed his lips and remained silent.
Mei Nan just smiled and didn't say anything.
He worked until the early hours of the morning, and the nausea in his stomach subsided, but his face was still pale and haggard.
After Gan Xiaoxing went in, his world was peaceful for a short time, and his work and life were just starting to improve. Unexpectedly, Gan Xiaoxing dropped another bombshell on him!
Thinking back to the time before he went in, Gan Xiaoxing conspired with his mother, his sister, and Gan Tai to scheme against him, and she actually succeeded.
Gan Xiaoxing was always a jack-of-all-trades when it came to serious matters, but a master at taking shortcuts and crooked paths.
"Pregnancy was a last resort that Gan Xiaoxing had painstakingly prepared for herself."
Xiang Jingheng's voice was hoarse and his eyes were gloomy. "With her pregnant, she can be released on bail as a pregnant woman, and she can also use that to blackmail my parents."
Mei Nan's eyes were bloodshot from staying up all night. She looked up slightly at Xiang Jingheng.
She understood the implication in his words: Gan Xiaoxing's pregnancy might be able to blackmail the Xiang family, but it wouldn't be able to blackmail Xiang Jingheng.
After all, he was forced to "give" this child away.
For a man, this is an absolutely humiliating thing.
Gan Xiaoxing's move was a desperate attempt to find a solution. She thought that if she got pregnant, the Xiang family would have to accept her and Xiang Jingheng would have to take responsibility for her. But she had been living in a sweet dream for too long and was completely unaware of the cruelty of human nature.
If Xiang Jingheng loves her and she is valuable enough, then Xiang Jingheng might accept the child.
But she never considered that if Xiang Jingheng truly loved her and couldn't live without her, he would never have married Yu Yan in the first place.
Whether a man truly loves you or not can be determined by whether he is willing to give you what he cherishes most.
Giving something to someone doesn't necessarily mean they love you, but not giving it to them definitely means they don't love you.
Mei Nan thought to herself: So, the only way for her to get what she wants is to increase her own value and retain her indispensability.
Xiang Jingheng fell asleep.
Just as Mei Nan was about to get up to wash up, her phone on the bedside table vibrated. It was a call from Xiang Chu.
Mei Nan's eyes lit up as she glanced at Jing Heng, then picked up her phone and went outside.
"Hey, Xiao Chu."
Mei Nan answered the phone, her voice unusually gentle.
Xiang Chu had just woken up and lazily yawned. "Aunt Mei, it's you! Where's my dad?"
"Your dad is working overtime at the company."
Mei Nan made up a lie on the spot, not telling Xiang Chu that his father was hospitalized, for fear that the child would worry.
"Dad works so hard."
Xiang Chu had no suspicions and said, "Then please tell my dad, Aunt Mei, that I'm going to my mom's tonight. My brother said she's going to make braised fish tonight."
He was all smiles.
A mix of emotions welled up inside Mei Nan, and she tightened her grip on her phone. "Are you going to Yu Yan's place?"
"Yes," Xiang Chu said, "My mom's cooking is amazing..."
As Mei Nan listened to Xiang Chu's constant expressions of affection and praise for Yu Yan, she felt a mix of emotions.
When did this child start calling Yu Yan "Mom" all the time?
Wasn't he not close to her before?
After breakfast, Xiang Chu happily went to school with her schoolbag on her back.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the classroom, Li Xiaowei, a classmate in the front row, pointed at his nose and said, "Xiang Chu, you're about to have a younger brother!"
What?
Xiang Chu stood there, completely bewildered.
He immediately looked at Shao Yun, who, upon hearing this, turned to Li Xiaowei and sternly ordered, "Shut your mouth."
Li Xiaowei pouted and sat back down dejectedly.
What?
Xiang Chu was still confused. What younger brother?
No secret can stay hidden forever, and news of Gan Xiaoxing's pregnancy eventually leaked out, albeit deliberately by the Gan family.
Li Xiaowei had been listening to adults gossip at home, so he started making a fuss as soon as he got to the classroom.
When Xiang first heard that his godmother was pregnant inside, and that she was carrying his father's child, meaning he would soon have a little brother or sister, he was so shocked that he couldn't say a word.
Unable to attend class, Xiang Chu took out her small phone and called Xiang Jingheng, loudly questioning him whether the matter was true!
Xiang Jingheng remained silent on the other end of the phone for a long time before finally saying, "It's true."
"..."
Xiang Chu cried, "I hate you! I hate all of you!"
It took a whole day to get things done.
The homeroom teacher called Xiang Jingheng, who was also worried about his son. He sent Mei Nan to pick him up, but Xiang Chu refused to go with her no matter what.
“Since he’s going to have a new son with his godmother, he doesn’t need me anymore, so there’s no need for me to go back.”
Xiang Chu's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and her face was stiff. She said to Mei Nan and the driver, "You can go back now. You don't need to come pick me up anymore. I'll live with my mother from now on, and she'll take care of me."
One sentence struck Mei Nan squarely in the heart.
"Don't talk nonsense." Mei Nan's voice was still soft and gentle, yet it carried an indescribable coldness. "Yu Yan is going to have a new husband too. Do you think she'll care about you?"
Xiang Chu and Shao Yun looked up at the same time.
Shao Yun had just frowned when Xiang Chu's lips twitched, "Wow—"
She burst into tears.
