Chapter 44 Leaving the Baby
In the consultation room.
The female doctor pointed to the two tiny shadows on the ultrasound report and said with a smile, "Ms. Su, congratulations, you are having twins."
Su Niannian's gaze followed the doctor's position.
"Doctor, do I have twins in my belly?"
The female doctor was around forty years old and also a mother. Out of her love for children, she patiently pointed out the signs to Su Niannian.
"You see, this shows two gestational sacs, which means they will grow into two babies in the future."
On the ultrasound screen, two tiny shadows are submerged in the dark image, almost blending into the gray background if you don't look closely.
They are so tiny, like seeds that have just fallen into the soil, stubbornly taking root there.
It's so small.
But they really were there, living inside her belly.
Su Niannian's breathing suddenly quickened.
She subconsciously raised her hand, her fingertips gently resting on her lower abdomen.
The area remains flat and smooth; you can't feel anything through the thin clothing.
But she could clearly sense that something was different.
Seeing her silence, the female doctor hesitated and asked, "Ms. Su, do you not want it?"
Su Niannian snapped back to her senses and made a decision in her heart in a short time.
"I want it, doctor, thank you."
Saying those words seemed to instantly untangle the knot that had been troubling her all morning.
The gloom in my heart also disappeared without a trace.
When Shu Wei saw her come out, she stepped forward and asked with concern, "Niannian, what are you going to do?"
Su Niannian's complexion improved considerably: "Gu Yuheng is the child's father and has the right to know about their existence. I will explain the situation to him. If he likes children, that would be the best outcome. If he doesn't like children, then I will raise them by myself."
Gu Yuheng is giving her 50,000 yuan a month now, which will amount to 600,000 yuan in a year.
Moreover, Gu Yuheng is the child's father and is legally obligated to pay child support. Even if they divorce, Su Niannian has enough money to raise both children.
Shu Wei thought Su Niannian would definitely be conflicted for a long time.
Unexpectedly, she figured it out on her own while she was seeing the doctor.
Anyone who didn't know better would think she was seeing a psychologist.
“Niannian, don’t worry. Even if Professor Gu doesn’t want to take responsibility, you still have me, his aunt. I can raise the children with you in the future. Anyway, I want to be a non-marriage advocate. I can make them recognize me as their godmother. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to be a painless mother?”
"Can your uncle and aunt tell you not to get married?"
"They said they respect my choice."
The two walked out while talking.
At the far end of the obstetrics and gynecology clinic, Shen Wanxi happened to bring a patient for a check-up and, by sheer coincidence, saw Su Niannian coming out of the clinic.
She stood there, her beautifully manicured eyebrows furrowing involuntarily.
What is Su Niannian doing at the obstetrics and gynecology department?
Does she have a gynecological disease?
Could it be that Su Niannian is not chaste and has been promiscuous, and has contracted a sexually transmitted disease?
If Gu Yuheng found out, he would definitely kick her out of the house. How could someone with such obsessive-compulsive disorder allow a woman with a sexually transmitted disease to stay by his side every day?
Thinking about it.
Shen Wanxi lifted her foot and walked towards the consultation room.
The female doctor had just put away the documents when she looked up and saw Shen Wanxi push the door open and enter.
When Shen Wanxi is out in public, she always presents a gentle and graceful image. With a warm smile on her face, she said politely, "Dr. Zhang, that girl is my distant cousin. She came to the hospital secretly today, and her parents were worried, so they asked me to come and find out what happened."
Shen Wanxi was well-liked at the hospital, and the female doctor did not doubt her words.
"That girl is pregnant, with twins, and she's almost two months along."
Shen Wanxi paused for a moment, her body swaying almost imperceptibly, but her expression remained unchanged as she continued to smile and speak.
"I see, thank you, Dr. Zhang."
Shen Wanxi walked out of the consultation room.
His eyes were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Fingertips sink deep into the palm.
Is that little bitch's bastard child Gu Yuheng's?
She had liked Gu Yuheng for so many years and waited for him for so many years, so why wasn't she the one who got pregnant?
Why should Su Niannian get pregnant with Gu Yuheng's child?
Regardless of whether it is true or not, she cannot let Gu Yuheng know that Su Niannian is pregnant.
------
It was already noon when I left the hospital.
Shu Wei drove Su Niannian to a restaurant with light flavors, ordered a plate of pickled radishes to whet Su Niannian's appetite, and two bowls of plain noodles.
Fortunately, Su Niannian did not experience morning sickness again. After eating some food, her listless face regained some color.
After finishing their meal, Shu Wei drove Su Niannian directly back to the villa.
"Niannian, call me if anything happens."
Su Niannian nodded: "I know, Weiwei, drive carefully on your way back."
Shu Wei waved to her and drove off in her car.
Su Niannian stood there, watching her leave until the car's rear end disappeared from her sight.
Only then did she enter the villa.
The villa was quiet; there wasn't a single person in the large living room.
Su Niannian also went upstairs to her room.
But she had just changed her clothes and lay down for a short while when there was a knock on the door.
Su Niannian had no choice but to get out of bed and open the door, where she saw Zhang Ma.
Zhang Ma hesitated for a moment before saying, "Miss Su, please go downstairs."
Su Niannian noticed that her expression was somewhat unnatural.
"Aunt Zhang, who's looking for me?"
Aunt Zhang said directly, "It's Miss Shen from the Shen family. She says she has something to discuss with you."
Su Niannian couldn't help but feel suspicious.
Shen Wanxi?
Why did she come to see me?
When Su Niannian came down, Shen Wanxi was sitting on the sofa in the living room, leaning back naturally with a relaxed and composed posture, just like the lady of the house.
She was wearing a high-necked silk blouse, buttoned all the way up to her neck, as if she were hiding something.
She saw Su Niannian come down and got up from the sofa.
He casually adjusted his collar with his fingers.
Immediately, the hickey on her neck was exposed to Su Niannian's eyes.
Su Niannian thought to herself, "No wonder she's wrapped up so tightly."
So, its neck had been gnawed on.
"Miss Chen, what brings you here?"
Shen Wanxi walked up to her, took a photo out of her bag, and handed it to Su Niannian.
Su Niannian's gaze fell on the photo in her hand.
Then, her pupils contracted, and her eyes were filled with disbelief.
The photo is taken in a dimly lit setting, showing two figures closely intertwined. The man is embracing the woman tightly and gently kissing her neck.
And this man is Gu Yuheng.
With the air of a victor in her eyes, Shen Wanxi spoke arrogantly.
“Yuheng and I are already together. We were having a passionate conversation at the hotel this morning. Yuheng doesn’t want to see you, so he sent me to kick you out.”
Su Niannian isn't a three-year-old child; she won't just listen to Shen Wanxi.
What if the photo is photoshopped?
She wanted to hear Gu Yuheng tell her in person.
Shen Wanxi said confidently, "Yuheng won't answer your call. He asked me to come over because he doesn't want to see you. You'd better be sensible and leave quickly."
She just sent someone to investigate. Today, Gu Yuheng accompanied the old lady to Xiangshan Temple. At noon, the temple was hit by a sudden heavy rain. The surrounding villages were flooded to a depth of two meters, and cars were floating on the water.
Fortunately, Xiangshan Temple is located in a high position, so it was not affected.
However, the mobile base stations there were damaged.
All communication was cut off, severing all contact with the outside world.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have photoshopped a picture of herself and Gu Yuheng in bed to drive Su Niannian away.
Su Niannian pursed her lips, gripping her phone tightly until it automatically disconnected when no one answered.
Undeterred, she dialed again, only to be met with endless busy signals. Su Niannian's heart sank to the bottom.
Shen Wanxi glanced at the distraught Su Niannian.
Turning to Zhang Ma, she said, "Zhang Ma, do you know? This Su Niannian is a liar. Her marriage to Yu Heng is fake, and she has been deceiving the old lady all along."
Su Niannian's body stiffened.
Zhang Ma was an old servant of the old lady, and she was surprised to hear that there was such a thing.
"Miss Chen, are you sure?"
Shen Wanxi shouted outside, and the fat maid who had bullied Su Niannian and been driven away came in.
Pointing at Su Niannian, he said, "I heard the master tell her personally that they conspired to deceive the old lady."
Su Niannian caused her to be kicked out; today, that little bitch won't get away with it.
Shen Wanxi looked at Zhang Ma and hesitated.
“Zhang Ma, the old lady is getting on in years. If she finds out that this Su Niannian is a fraud, her health won’t be able to take it. It would be better to get rid of her before the old lady finds out.”
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Ma looked at Su Niannian with a cold face and said...
"You'd better leave on your own. It'll save you some dignity. Otherwise, when the old lady finds out, she'll realize she's given her heart to a liar like you. How can her health take that? If you have any conscience, leave now."
As he spoke, he threw a suitcase at Su Niannian's feet.
Su Niannian bit her lip.
I stood quietly for a while.
The old lady treated her like her own granddaughter, and she hoped that the old lady would live a long and healthy life like her own grandmother. She was worried that the old lady might fall ill because she had lied to her.
Su Niannian will blame herself for the rest of her life.
"Aren't you leaving yet? Do you really want me to kick you out?"
Aunt Zhang pushed her and said sternly.
Su Niannian silently picked up her suitcase and walked out of the villa step by step with her slender figure.
It gradually blended into the darkening sky outside.
-----
Xiangshan Temple
Gu Yuheng looked at the upper right corner of his phone, which still showed "no signal".
His brow furrowed deeper and deeper.
"Gao Xiu, what was the result of your inquiry? When will the water recede?"
He couldn't get through to Su Niannian's phone, and a wave of anxiety washed over him.
