Li Sijie's thoughts were exactly the same as Yun Duoduo's guesses: her goal was to enter the Li family, no matter what method she used.
Having lived in the Li family for twenty years, she knew very well the benefits of having a powerful family background.
The reason she's been able to thrive in Kyoto's social circles all these years is simply because she's a member of the Li family.
Recently, some people have learned about the Li family's situation, and their gazes towards her have become noticeably different; some have even openly mocked her.
This stark contrast made Li Sijie feel extremely unbalanced.
She vowed to stay with the Li family, no matter what means she had to use.
However, the Li family members are all too clear-headed. She couldn't find any loopholes. Having finally managed to get close to the muddle-headed Li Yungang, how could she not try every means to hold on to him?
She originally thought that even if this method couldn't shake Ye Wenyue and the others, it could at least shake Li Yungang. As long as Li Yungang believed her, that would be enough.
She refused to believe that Ye Wenyue would be so cruel as to abandon her own son.
But what she didn't expect was that Ye Wenyue was much more ruthless than she thought. She didn't even allow Li Yungang to show his face, and went along with it, making her abort the child, and Ye Wenyue didn't have to take any responsibility at all.
The problem is, this solution was proposed by Li Sijie herself; can she go back on her word now?
Seeing Li Sijie's eyes darting around, Ye Wenyue and Yun Duoduo exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with smiles.
Let's see how Li Sijie continues to play her tricks now.
Just then, Wang Shuangshuang suddenly jumped in to speak up, "Aunt, you can't say that. After all, this child belongs to Third Brother. You should at least let him show his face. If Third Brother doesn't want the child either, then let them discuss it themselves. You..."
Wang Shuangshuang frowned, as if she didn't know how to continue the conversation.
Immediately afterward, Wang Weiguo also stood up and continued Wang Shuangshuang's words, "Yes, what you did was not kind. If people find out, they will talk behind our Li family's back, saying that our Li family forced a girl to have an abortion. Li Yungang is a doctor after all. If this gets out, it will be a matter of personal conduct, and he may even lose his job."
Li Dongxiu, standing to the side, was extremely anxious looking at her husband and daughter.
Although she was simple-minded, she knew very well that she had to stand on Ye Wenyue's side at this time.
She certainly didn't expect that her husband and daughter might have been bribed.
She stepped forward, grabbed Wang Shuangshuang and Wang Weiguo, and whispered, "What does this have to do with you two? Why are you being so nosy? Shuangshuang, go back to work if you have nothing to do."
"That's it," she said, turning to glare at Wang Weiguo. "You should go back and take care of your mother too. You're really siding with outsiders."
Wang Weiguo rolled his eyes at Li Dongxiu and remained silent.
Wang Shuangshuang retorted to Li Dongxiu in an annoyed tone, "Mom, we're just being reasonable, not siding with our relatives. The baby is perfectly healthy, why would we want to abort it?"
Then, she tried to persuade Ye Wenyue, "Auntie, think about it, in nine months, you'll have a lovely little grandson or granddaughter who will call you grandma. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
Ye Wenyue glanced thoughtfully at Wang Shuangshuang and her father, and snorted softly, "You two are quite good at putting on this act. Wang Shuangshuang, how much did you take from them to go to such lengths to help them put on this show?"
"I..." Wang Shuangshuang was hit where it hurt and immediately shut up.
Then, Ye Wenyue turned to look at Wang Weiguo and asked, "Wang Weiguo, is the child in Li Sijie's belly related to you? Why are you so nervous?"
"I, I..." Wang Weiguo was so guilty that sweat beaded on his forehead. He stammered for a long time before muttering, "How could you say such a thing? It was so rude."
Then, he immediately shrank back and dared not make a sound.
We'll deal with these two later.
Ye Wenyue turned to Li Sijie and said slowly, "Li Sijie, I'm giving you both a choice. This is the last time you'll have to choose. Listen carefully."
After confirming that Li Sijie was listening, Ye Wenyue said, "First, have an abortion. This matter ends here. Don't see Yun Gang again. Even if you do see him, act like strangers. I guarantee that no one else will know about this except the people here today."
"Second, if you insist that the child is Yun Gang's and continue to go against the Li family, I guarantee that you will have a miserable life from now on."
"I..." Li Sijie hesitated for several minutes with her head down, then raised her head and looked at Ye Wenyue pleadingly.
"Mom, the child really is Third Brother's. Please let me see Third Brother. If he tells me in person that he doesn't want the child, I promise to have an abortion and never cause you any more trouble. Like I said, even if I see you again, I will act like we are strangers."
Ye Wenyue was too lazy to waste words with Li Sijie, so she nodded at her and said, "Fine, you chose this dead end yourself."
Then, Ye Wenyue looked at Li Yunfeng beside her and said, "Second brother, go take care of important business."
Li Yunfeng knew what the so-called important matter was. He nodded, glanced at his watch, and said, "Okay, I'll definitely be back in about an hour."
As Li Yunfeng went downstairs, Yun Duoduo suddenly called out to him, "Second Brother, when you go down, please have Eldest Brother bring Third Brother up with you."
Ye Wenyue glanced at Yun Duoduo, unsure whether to let Li Yungang come up, but Yun Duoduo nodded confidently at her. Ye Wenyue trusted Yun Duoduo and nodded as well.
Yun Duoduo looked at Li Sijie and smiled faintly, "Didn't you want to see Third Brother? You can have a good meeting with him later, because you may not have this opportunity again in the future."
For some reason, Ye Wenyue and Yun Duoduo seemed to say nothing, but the calmness on their faces made Li Sijie feel uneasy. She didn't know what awaited her.
At that moment, she felt a pang of regret, wondering if she shouldn't have been so persistent.
But the next moment, she immediately clung to a sliver of hope, thinking that maybe Ye Wenyue and Yun Duoduo were just bluffing her.
She has to take a gamble, because if she wins, everything will be bright for her.
Soon, footsteps sounded at the top of the stairs, and Li Yungang came up, followed by Li Yunjun and Yan Junting.
When did Yan Junting arrive? Yun Duoduo was somewhat surprised.
Yan Junting gave her a reassuring look. Judging from his expression, they must have prepared Li Yungang mentally just now.
As soon as Li Yun saw Li Sijie at the top of the stairs, he immediately ran over, looked anxiously at her stomach, and asked, "Sijie, how are you?"
"Third Brother, I'm fine, it's just..." Upon seeing Li Yungang, Li Sijie felt extremely aggrieved, tears welling up in her eyes as she sobbed.
"Actually, I wanted you to see the child one last time, so that you would know that this child did come into this world, but he came at the wrong time, and we couldn't keep him here."
