Chen Yanqiu shook his head gently, insisting on covering the half of his face that was beaten, and refused to let Zhu Tingyue see it.
Zhu's mother also rushed over. She took away Shen Yanqiu's hand, and a slap mark came into view.
Throughout the entire day, the nameless anger in my heart was like being suppressed under the crater of a volcano, constantly accumulating energy.
And when Zhu's mother inadvertently caught a glimpse of the clearly visible slap mark, this ball of rage instantly erupted like a volcano, reaching an unprecedented peak!
She turned around suddenly, her eyes burning with anger, her lips tightly closed without a single gap, as if she didn't want to say even a single word.
Then, she raised her hand without hesitation and hit Zhu Mingchuan hard with all her strength.
Zhu's mother's fist did not hit him directly in the face, but swung wildly at other parts of his body.
Zhu Mingchuan did not dare to dodge his wife's fist, but stood there and passively endured it.
Zhu Tingyue wanted to take Chen Yanqiu to see a doctor. The slap must have been very severe, and the bright red mark made Zhu Tingyue tremble with fear.
But Chen Yanqiu refused!
He walked to Mother Zhu's side, held Mother Zhu's fist that was still waving, and said to stop her: "Don't be angry with Dad. I was wrong about this matter, and it's right for Dad to be angry."
Zhu Mingchuan got angry when he heard him talking. He stopped fighting in front of his wife and just stiffened his neck and yelled at him: "Don't call me dad, I'm not your dad!"
Zhu's mother struggled and wanted to hit him, but Chen Yanqiu held her arm tightly and refused to let go. Zhu Tingyue also came over to persuade her mother and walked towards the sofa.
Zhu Mingchuan followed slowly, staring at Shen Yanqiu fiercely, as if Shen Yanqiu was his enemy.
After Zhu's mother sat down, Chen Yanqiu knelt on the ground with a plop. Several people were startled and hurriedly helped him up.
But he had made up his mind, and no matter how Zhu Mama and Zhu Tingyue pulled him, he remained motionless.
"Dad, Mom, this matter with the child is my fault. It's really not Yueyue's fault. I know you are angry, but it's us who are ignorant and have caused you trouble!"
"I know that just a few words of apology from me cannot make up for your sadness and anger, but I really want to say sorry to you."
"The matter of the child is already a fact, and I will give birth to this child. As for the identity of Yueyue and me, I have made a decision, and I will not switch back with Yueyue!"
"As for our future life, please rest assured. Although I don't have a fortune, it won't be a problem to support Yueyue and the child."
"Also, starting tomorrow, I will move out and let Yueyue stay with you."
He paused after he finished speaking and looked at Zhu Mingchuan, but he never said "Dad".
He turned to look at Mother Zhu and continued, "Mom, if you want... a child, I will bring him back to see you. This child belongs to the Zhu family, and he will also have the surname Zhu in the future."
When he said he wanted to move out, Zhu's mother's heart felt like it was being torn apart.
And at this moment, he actually said that he wanted the child to also have the surname Zhu! This sentence was like a sharp sword, piercing straight into Zhu's mother's heart.
She felt distressed and sad. Every word and sentence of Chen Yanqiu seemed to carry a thousand pounds of weight, which made Mother Zhu breathless.
Zhu Tingyue also widened her eyes, looking at Chen Yanqiu in front of her with disbelief. She could never have imagined that Chen Yanqiu would have such a strange and bold idea!
In just one day, had he thought so much about his life and the child's life, two identities, and giving the child the surname Zhu?
He didn't even discuss this with me!
For a moment, Zhu Tingyue felt his mind go blank and was completely shocked by this sudden news.
Zhu Mingchuan was still angry, but what Chen Yanqiu said made sense. The facts were before him, and he couldn't ask Chen Yanqiu to abort the child, right? What's more, the child was from the Zhu family!
If Chen Yanqiu wants to have a baby, then let him! Anyway, Yueyue doesn't have to suffer this pain, and their Zhu family has one more child, so why not?
Although his mind was already filled with thousands of thoughts and twists and turns, his face was as calm as the surface of a lake, without any sign of emotional fluctuation.
I saw him lower his eyelids slightly, and his eyelashes gently covered his deep and sharp eyes, making it difficult to glimpse his true thoughts.
At this moment, he was like a silent sculpture, standing there quietly, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him. Only the thoughts in his mind were running fast, constantly analyzing and thinking about the situation before him.
Time passed by minute by minute, and he never raised his head, not even a glance at Chen Yanqiu.
Mother Zhu and Zhu Tingyue had already helped Chen Yanqiu up. She was still pregnant. Their words were so heartfelt that Mother Zhu was no longer angry with him.
Zhu Mingchuan just sat there quietly, his lips tightly closed, as if he was under a spell, and he didn't say a word.
Meanwhile, Shen Yanqiu, who was standing aside, lowered his head like a child who had made a serious mistake, not daring to raise his head to look directly at anyone.
He snuggled up to Zhu Tingyue tightly, his body trembling slightly, and his appearance was so pitiful and lovable.
Chen Yanqiu's eyes were red, with tears welling up in them, and it seemed like they would burst out at any time.
That face, which was originally as beautiful as a flower and as gentle as jade, now looked so pale and helpless that people couldn't help but feel pity.
I hope my mother would feel so sad when she saw this scene.
She really couldn't bear to see Shen Yanqiu's beloved daughter appear in front of her with such a pitiful face.
Seeing Chen Yanqiu's heartbroken look, Mother Zhu's heart seemed to be tugged at, and she was so heartbroken that she almost cried.
She kicked Zhu Mingchuan beside her with dissatisfaction, signaling him that it was enough. Didn’t she see that the child felt guilty and repentant?
After receiving the hint from his wife, Zhu Mingchuan sighed helplessly in his heart. Then, he looked at his wife with a look full of grievance: I was just trying to scare him!
Mother Zhu glanced at the slap mark on Chen Yanqiu's face, and then looked at Zhu Mingchuan with anger again: Is this a bluff? How can you scare people like this?
Zhu Mingchuan knew he was in the wrong, so he lowered his head in front of his wife, then cleared his throat and said in a low voice: "Chen Yanqiu, don't think you can get away with it in front of us with just a few words."
"You said you can support the child and Yueyue, but do you know what kind of life Yueyue has lived since she was a child?"
"I believe you have heard about the status of our Zhu family in Jiangcheng. It is not an exaggeration to describe Yueyue's life as luxurious! Yueyue's children will naturally have to live such a life!"
