Chapter 253 Confessing Our Relationship
I lowered my voice and answered, "I was too young then."
Qiu Xinlian winked at me to show that she understood.
She came to me to have dinner together because she didn't plan to return home right now as she hadn't finished dealing with things here.
Before leaving, she wanted to invite Xu Zhengnan and me to have dinner together, so we called Xia Yu, and the four of us found a place to eat and started chatting while eating.
During the meal, Xu Zhengnan seemed a little busy. He was either replying to messages or making phone calls. Qiu Xinlian and I looked at each other and were both a little embarrassed to interrupt.
Until a phone call came, it was from Aunt Yang.
Her tone was very urgent, "Zhengnan, where are you? A girl named Jiang Xinyu found me and said that she was pregnant with your child, but something went wrong and the child was gone. Is this true? Come back quickly!"
I was sitting next to Xu Zhengnan. He didn't avoid me when he answered Aunt Yang's call. Instead, he put the phone on the table and turned on the speakerphone. I didn't expect that what Aunt Yang said made my heart tremble.
Even Xia Yu couldn't help but look at me worriedly.
Jiang Xinyu returned to China? Did you also find Aunt Yang?
"I'll be back tomorrow." Xu Zhengnan replied. He was very calm and was not angry or furious because Jiang Xinyu contacted Aunt Yang.
"Okay, come back as soon as possible. The girl is at home now. If she is really pregnant with your child, you have to take responsibility even if the child is gone." Aunt Yang said very seriously.
A bad premonition flashed through my mind. Xu Zhengnan could firmly choose me and cut off his relationship with Jiang Xinyu because he was sure that he had not touched her.
But Aunt Yang is different. She has always been worried about Xu Zhengnan's life-long affairs and wants to have a grandson as soon as possible. The appearance of Jiang Xinyu may be good news for her.
After hanging up the phone, I didn’t want to go to the hospital for a checkup, but checked today’s flight tickets. “Let’s go back today.”
"Go to the hospital first to check your physical condition. If you are in good condition, then go back." However, Xu Zhengnan did not listen to my arrangements. I knew what he was worried about. My physical condition was not very good to begin with, and now I have just confirmed my pregnancy. If something goes wrong on the way back, it will be very troublesome.
I put down my phone silently. In fact, I was also worried about my health.
After dinner, Qiu Xinlian left first, and I followed Xu Zhengnan to the hospital for a check-up. After a more comprehensive examination, the doctor told me that my condition was relatively stable, but the gestational sac had not been seen yet. Everyone's situation is different, and some gestational sacs will appear later. I can consider going for another check-up a few days after returning to China.
Xu Zhengnan listened to the doctor's words very carefully, and the expression on his face gradually relaxed.
On the way back, he held my hand and said, "After we go back, we should confess our relationship to our families. There is no need to hide it any longer."
"Okay." I have no objection.
Now that I'm pregnant, maybe Aunt Yang will be able to accept me.
I not only wanted a child myself, but also wanted to convince Aunt Yang. She wanted to have a grandson very much. Even my mother told me many times that she hoped she would agree to let Xu Zhengnan and I be together for the sake of the child.
——
Xu Zhengnan and I returned home safely.
As soon as we landed, Xia Yu left first, and Xu Zhengnan and I went straight home.
Jiang Xinyu is living in his house now. He asked me to go directly with him to his house and explain everything to Aunt Yang. As for my parents, I can ask them to come over to discuss it together.
"Zhengnan, you're back!" Aunt Yang showed a hint of joy when she saw Zhengnan, and then looked at me, "Xiaoyue, you're back too."
I nodded, "Aunt Yang, after I found Xu Zhengnan in Country M, I came back with him."
Aunt Yang breathed a sigh of relief. "Fortunately you are all okay. I have been having nightmares these days. Please sit down. I will get you something to eat."
As she said that, she walked towards the kitchen.
I smelled the aroma of chicken soup in the air, mixed with the fragrance of red dates, which was very tempting.
Xu Zhengnan walked to the kitchen door and asked in a deep voice, "Mom, where is Jiang Xinyu?"
"Upstairs, resting in your room." Aunt Yang didn't think too much about it. She answered loudly while checking the chicken soup.
My heart skipped a beat. Jiang Xinyu was resting in Xu Zhengnan's room?
It seems that Aunt Yang has believed Jiang Xinyu's words, so she allowed her to stay in Xu Zhengnan's room.
"You should go up and take a look at her. She is in very weak health. She lost her baby late in pregnancy and has suffered a severe blow both physically and mentally. She came back from abroad alone. How come you got a girlfriend outside without telling me? You made me so busy." Aunt Yang was still muttering.
I had already arrived at the kitchen door, and listening to Aunt Yang's words, I felt unhappy.
Xu Zhengnan frowned, "She and I broke up a long time ago, and the baby in her belly is not mine."
“Bang!”
Aunt Yang was so shocked that the spoon in her hand fell to the ground. She turned around and looked at Xu Zhengnan in disbelief, "What did you say?"
"I'll go upstairs and talk to her clearly." Xu Zhengnan didn't say much, just walked upstairs.
Aunt Yang came over in a hurry and held him back. "Zhengnan, are you telling the truth or not? Xinyu is at her most vulnerable right now. What you said must be a big blow to her. You can't disown your own child just because you have a conflict with her!"
I stood aside, hesitant to speak.
Xu Zhengnan replied calmly, "Mom, Jiang Xinyu and I did date, but we never lived together."
"She said you drank too much and had no memory of anything you did. Also, after the induced abortion, she asked the doctor to take a photo of the child. I've seen the photo, and the child looks exactly like you when you were a child. They're like two peas in a pod. How could it not be your child?" Aunt Yang was brainwashed by Jiang Xinyu. She actually believed what Jiang Xinyu said.
It seems that Jiang Xinyu has changed everything to a point that is favorable to her and told Aunt Yang everything.
For example, they had dated, slept together after drinking, and Xu Zhengnan refused to acknowledge the child.
While the three of us were standing at the stairs talking, Jiang Xinyu came down without knowing when. She stood at the corner, her eyes slightly red, "Zhengnan, do you still not acknowledge our child?"
"Jiang Xinyu, you've gone too far this time." Xu Zhengnan's tone didn't change much, but I could hear disgust in it.
Jiang Xinyu walked down step by step. She said pitifully, "Do you know how painful it was for me when the child came out of my body? He was a boy who looked a lot like you, but he was motionless as soon as he came out. This was my first time as a mother. I didn't keep him, and I didn't let his father accompany him to the end."
Aunt Yang burst into tears after hearing these words. She hurried over and supported Jiang Xinyu, "Xinyu, why did you come downstairs? You should lie down and rest!"
