Upon hearing Wen Sihe's words, Tan Guoli jumped up as if someone had stepped on her tail: "Don't talk nonsense! I've only ever had Louis as my man!"
After all, she was still an unmarried girl. To take that step with Louis was simply infatuation!
Naturally, she would not allow anyone to insult her innocence.
Her loud and boisterous words sounded like pleasant musical notes to Wen Sihe.
This made her feel a bit better.
Once it can be confirmed that the child is Louis's, then their cooperation with Louis is a done deal!
However, she didn't show it on the surface, but looked at Tan Guoli suspiciously: "Who knows? After all, you're not married yet, and you're already sleeping with a man. If word gets out, Director Tan won't be able to hold his head up high."
Tan Guoli's face turned pale and then red, it was hard to tell whether it was from embarrassment or anger!
After a long while, she collapsed and sat on the edge of the bed, her legs together and knees bent, her arms tightly wrapped around her legs, burying her face in them: "I, I don't know what it was because of that time."
Although I was a bit daring before, I never did anything out of line, and I never thought I would have a child!
Ji Nian gently tugged at Wen Sihe's arm and gestured to her with her eyes that it was indeed true!
Although she hadn't spent much time with her sister-in-law, she could roughly guess what kind of person she was from their interactions!
Her sister-in-law is arrogant and disdainful of dating male classmates her own age.
I always felt they lacked mature charm and were quite immature!
That's why it's been delayed for so many years!
Wen Sihe cleared her throat: "So what are your thoughts now?"
"Should you abort the child to save face for your family, or give birth to the child regardless and let your Tan family live under constant criticism for the rest of your lives?"
Wen Sihe's voice was like a thunderclap, exploding loudly in Tan Guoli's ears.
Her face was streaked with snot and tears, and she said through tear-filled eyes, "I... I don't know, I can't bear to... this, this is a life after all..."
From an outsider's perspective, Wen Sihe thought Tan Guoli was really foolish.
Before a new life is born, its value should not exceed that of the mother!
What's more, it's not even a month old yet, it's not even the size of a soybean, it's just a small lump of flesh. Do we really want to risk our entire lives for such a lump of flesh?
In contrast, she seemed to understand some of Tan Guoli's actions.
To outsiders, Tan Guoli was pampered and spoiled by her parents and brother, and was bright and flamboyant, so there was nothing to regret!
But their own family knows better than anyone else that they all feel guilty towards their daughter because of special circumstances!
Tan Guoli grew up with her grandparents. The money that Tan's father sent was used by her grandparents to subsidize her uncle's family.
Little Tan Guoli was unaware of the intricacies between adults; she only knew that her parents kept all their children with them, except for her, who was left in the countryside.
Seeing her uncle's family laughing and joking, Tan Guoli had also looked forward to it.
But after repeated disappointments, her heart grew cold.
Even if things got better at home later and they brought her back, the emotional bond that was lost couldn't be made up for with money!
This resulted in Tan Guoli's romantic relationships remaining very distant.
To give a simple example, in the 1990s, the wave of migrant workers emerged, and many people chose to go out to work, leaving countless children behind!
They were mostly raised by their grandparents. When the children got older, the parents, who had gone to work in other cities, would question why their children weren't close to them...
As children grow up, they can understand their parents' actions, but the missing emotions cannot be understood!
It was only when such a little life suddenly appeared in Tan Guoli's belly that she felt reluctant to part with it.
It is precisely because of the longing for affection that we are reluctant to let go!
Seeing how pitiful she was, Wen Sihe gently sat down on the edge of the bed and patted Tan Guoli on the back: "I came to see you this time because I wanted to talk to you about the baby in your belly!"
There is now a method.........
As soon as Wen Sihe finished speaking, Tan Guoli wiped away her tears and said impatiently, "I do, I do!"
I, I, I can assure Comrade Mei that I will absolutely not interfere in his life!
I just beg him to acknowledge this child and not let my family be disgraced!
Now that things have come to this, Wen Sihe can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
They left the room and waited for about an hour before Tan's mother and the others returned!
As soon as she opened the door, seeing her daughter sitting at the table, slowly drinking plain porridge, Tan's mother was so excited that she couldn't speak coherently: "Little, little, little Li!!"
Tan Guoli had been on a hunger strike for two days. Seeing her get out of bed and start eating again, Tan's mother couldn't help but wipe away her tears.
Tan Guoli slowly put down her teacup and looked at her mother, whose hair was turning white, and felt a pang of guilt.
Looking at her father, who was hunched over and seemed to have aged decades in the past few days, Tan Guoli felt so distressed that she couldn't lift her head.
Tan Guohua had just returned from the factory when he saw his wife coming back from Jinshi. He grinned from ear to ear!
“Nian Nian........”
Ji Nian snorted coldly, turned away, and said nothing.
Tan Guohua reached out and carefully hooked her finger: "I've been working overtime these past two days to finish up the work at the factory. I took five days off and was planning to come see you first thing tomorrow morning!"
"Our mom has a sharp tongue..."
Jinian didn't want to listen to his rambling any longer, so she quickly reached out and slapped his arm: "Okay, I know!"
Wen Sihe sat on the sofa, then stood up with a smile and said to Mr. and Mrs. Tan, "Uncle, Aunt, I came with Niannian this time because there are some things I want to discuss with you!"
Wen Sihe had once been Louis's translator, so Tan's father quickly composed himself and looked at Wen Sihe with a serious expression: "Let's go to the study to talk!"
When the group came out again, Mr. Tan straightened his back and had a deep smile on his face.
Only Tan's mother, who was following behind, had tears welling up in her eyes, threatening to fall, and looked very pitiful!
That night, the lights in the Tan family's house stayed on for half the night. After midnight, Tan's mother gently knocked on Tan Guoli's door with a small cloth bag in her hand.
She didn't say much after entering the house. She simply put the small cloth bag on the table, then covered her mouth and went out!
Tan Guoli's hands trembled as she took the small cloth bag.
They discovered there was 3,000 yuan inside, with both whole and small bills, which must have been the elderly couple's savings over the years!
Tan Guoli's heart felt as if it were soaking in a bitter jar, her chest aching with a throbbing pain!
Originally, Mr. Tan wanted to go with them, but he was too busy delivering goods at the factory to leave!
The only option was for Tan Guohua to take Jinian and his mother to Beijing.
Seeing that the man was polite in his speech and actions, Tan's mother breathed a sigh of relief.
And so, the marriage between the two families was barely settled!
