Chapter 197 Decision
A tall tree attracts the wind. Shi Shi knew very well that if she really did something to Zhong Mengxuan, it would be equivalent to handing the handle directly to the enemies of the Lu family.
If the Lu family is really implicated, she will not have a good ending. It is for this reason that she chose to ask Zhong Mengxuan to come out for negotiation today instead of having someone directly deal with the child in Zhong Mengxuan's belly.
After a long while, Shi Shi spoke again, "Zhong Mengxuan, since you want to stay with Chen Ran so much, then I will grant your wish."
Hearing that Shi Shi finally gave in, Zhong Mengxuan felt relieved, but before she could be happy, she was shocked again by Shi Shi's next words.
"But you still have to abort the baby in your belly. You can't have children until Jiarui gives birth to the baby."
"What?" Zhong Mengxuan couldn't believe her ears. "The baby in my belly is Chen Ran's own flesh and blood, your grandson! How could you be so cruel?"
"Zhong Mengxuan, if you want to negotiate with me, then you have to give something!" Shi Shi said sarcastically, "If you leave the child behind, you can still stay with Chen Ran. Are you kidding me? You're clearly trying to ruin Chen Ran's marriage! Look at me, a fool like me, am I willing to keep such an obvious scourge?"
"Mrs. Lu, I promise I won't cause any trouble, and I definitely won't ruin Chen Ran's wedding." Zhong Mengxuan said quickly, "Just let me keep this child! No matter what, this is a little life!"
Shi Shi looked at Zhong Mengxuan, a cold light flashing in her eyes. "Zhong Mengxuan, I will give you two options now. First, you can continue to stay with Chen Ran as his lover, but there is a prerequisite, that is, the child in your belly must be aborted. Also, before Chen Ran gets married, you are not allowed to look for him again. Of course, there is another point. You can't have children until Jia Rui gives birth to a child."
"Second, you abort the child and cut off all contact with Chen Ran. After that, I will agree to one of your requests within my ability. Moreover, I can guarantee that no one will ever know about the ridiculous things you and Chen Ran did in the past."
"Two paths, choose for yourself!"
No matter which path she took, it was definitely not what Zhong Mengxuan wanted. Because in both options, she would have to abort the baby first. This was too disadvantageous for her.
Seeing that Zhong Mengxuan hadn't responded yet, Shi Shi said coldly, "Zhong Mengxuan, if you really can't make a decision, then I will make it for you."
"No, I--" Zhong Mengxuan opened her mouth but still couldn't say anything.
"Zhong Mengxuan, it's better not to be too greedy." Shi Shi's face was expressionless. "My patience is limited. Don't try to challenge my bottom line. And--"
"I don't take your threats to heart. The reason I'm willing to give you an extra option today is simply to avoid making things too complicated. You're right, I can't force you to do anything. But don't forget, you still have a clan and family."
Zhong Mengxuan raised her head abruptly, her eyes filled with disbelief. Finally, she could only grit her teeth unwillingly and said, "The first one, I choose the first one."
"Very good." Shi Shi nodded with satisfaction, then retracted her gaze. "Zhong Mengxuan, remember your choice. From today on, you and Chen Ran cannot see each other again until Chen Ran is married. One more thing, since you are lovers, you must be aware of the consequences. If the Long family or Jia Rui find out about your affairs, you know the consequences."
Hearing this warning, Zhong Mengxuan couldn't help but shudder. She always felt that she seemed to be in a dilemma.
She didn't know whether her choice today was right or not, but she always felt that such a choice seemed to cost her her entire life.
However, she knew very well that she had no way out now. Even if there was really a dead end ahead, she had to find a way out for herself.
Seeing Zhong Mengxuan's silence, Shi Shi didn't take it to heart, but continued, "Get ready. I'll arrange your surgery in two days."
"So fast." Zhong Mengxuan frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable.
"It's going to be resolved sooner or later anyway, so isn't it better to do it sooner?" Shi Shi said coldly, "It's better to have it removed while it's still young, isn't it?"
Zhong Mengxuan was unable to refute what he said, and finally she could only nod and say, "Okay, I understand."
After thinking about it, Zhong Mengxuan mustered up the courage and looked at Shi Shi, "Then how do I know if you will break your promise and not let me stay with Chen Ran after I have the abortion?"
"You think too much." Shi Shi said disdainfully, "You're just a lover beside Chen Ran. I don't mind your existence. As long as your existence doesn't affect the Lu and Long families, one more or one less won't make much difference."
"I never cared about those women outside of Chen Ran."
This time, the reason why she came here to see Zhong Mengxuan was simply because the wedding date was approaching and Zhong Mengxuan happened to be pregnant at this time, and she was worried that something unexpected would happen.
These few words made Zhong Mengxuan feel extremely embarrassed. She clearly heard the disdain in the other party's words, but she couldn't say anything to refute.
On the other side, Zhong Nianyao turned off the surveillance camera and shook her head.
"That cousin of yours is quite ambitious!" Lu Yichen raised his eyebrows and teased with a smile, "She was able to escape from the hands of my good sister-in-law and even directly threatened her. Not everyone has such ability!"
"She is indeed ambitious, but unfortunately her IQ is low." Zhong Nianyao shook her head. "If she were smart, she would know that now that things have come to this point, she should make a decisive move, abort the child, and then choose a new target. If she keeps dragging it out like this, she will only end up losing her entire life."
"If she leaves Lu Chenran, she won't be able to find a better husband." Lu Yichen smiled and continued, "Staying by Lu Chenran's side is more profitable than marrying someone else."
"Maybe!" Zhong Nianyao shrugged nonchalantly. "But Lu Chenran doesn't think much of her, does he? If Lu Chenran really had feelings for Zhong Mengxuan, then the person who showed up today wouldn't be the Lu family's eldest lady, but Lu Chenran himself."
Therefore, it is really hard to say whether Zhong Mengxuan’s persistence can finally get her what she wants!
