A group of people had gathered on the rooftop, including company employees, police, reporters, Xue Yao, and several medical staff. She received a call from her husband, asking her to take good care of herself in the future. Based on her understanding of her husband over the years, she immediately realized that something was wrong. She sneaked out of the nursing home and saw her husband preparing to commit suicide.
She collapsed on the ground, holding her aching heart. She could neither cry nor shout. She was on the verge of collapse. She originally wanted to persuade her husband, but when she saw his shaky figure standing on the platform, she became more determined to jump down with him.
She crawled forward for a distance with all her might and spoke intermittently: "Zhao Kun, come down! If you want to leave, take me with you. How can I live when you and our son are gone? How do you want me to live?" At this point she finally burst into tears with all her might, her eyes red and bloodshot.
Wang Zhaokun was overwhelmed with grief, but could only sob in silence.
The negotiation expert kept trying to persuade them, but the two men had already lost hope in life and would not listen to a word they said. The reporter silently filmed this scene, preparing to make a big news story.
Wang Zhaokun took a step forward and lowered his head to look at the people living below the tall building.
Xue Yao screamed, "Hubby, wait for me! Let's jump together, and our family of three will be reunited down there!"
"No, Mr. Wang, Madam, calm down!" The company employees were anxious and wanted to rush over to rescue the man. The police could only stop Xue Yao but did not dare to touch Wang Zhaokun who had already reached the edge of the railing. Just then, the door to the rooftop was pushed open, and Lin Dan and Han Xu rushed out.
Lin Dan pushed through the crowd, pulled Xue Yao up, and handed her to several medical staff. He then took a few steps forward and said loudly, "Uncle Wang, do you still remember me?"
Wang Zhaokun looked back at her, then at the anxious Han Xu, and said with a wry smile, "You are here too. Xiao Han, Uncle Wang embarrassed you. Uncle Wang has been strong all his life, but he set such a bad example for you young people when he is old. But Uncle Wang can't do anything. Uncle Wang has nothing now. I can't save my son, nor can I cure my wife's illness. I can't even pay for her medical expenses. If I die, she can at least get some pension, and her life will be better than when I was here. Xiao Han, please take good care of Aunt Xue in the future, and let her stop thinking about me, a useless old thing."
"No!" Xue Yao tried her best not to faint. Of course, the sedatives and cardiotonic drugs given to her by the medical staff were also the main reasons for saving her life. She really hated the current medical technology. If it weren't for these expensive drugs, her husband wouldn't have been driven crazy by her medical expenses, and she would have died long ago, so how could she have dragged him down to this point.
"I am the one who should die. I am the one who should die!" She fell into the arms of the medical staff and cried, "Stop giving me injections. Let me die!"
"Give her another shot." Lin Dan ordered the medical staff, then looked at Wang Zhaokun and said word by word: "Uncle Wang, I lied to you last time. In fact, I am not Wang Jun's friend, I am his girlfriend. I am pregnant with Wang Jun's child. You and Aunt Xue are not penniless. You still have an unborn grandson. I am an orphan. I have no father or mother since I was a child. My grandmother raised me, so I know how painful it is to have no relatives. If you and Aunt Xue are gone, how can I raise this child? Money can be earned again, but relatives are really gone. Don't you and Aunt Xue want to see the child being born? Don't you want to accompany the child to grow up? Don't you want to send him to school, pick him up from school, and grow up with him in wind and rain? I am an orphan, my ability is limited, are you assured to hand the child to me?"
Wang Zhaokun was stunned. Xue Yao's crying stopped abruptly and the crowd around them was in an uproar.
Lin Dan took the opportunity to step forward, handed over the test report and ultrasound picture in his hand, and said slowly: "Uncle Wang, look, this is your little grandson, he is more than two months old."
Wang Zhaokun couldn't help but turn around and stare blankly at the stack of information.
Lin Dan continued to walk forward, then stopped three meters away, turned the picture face up, and showed it to Wang Zhaokun. The tiny embryo hidden in the uterus looks like a small bean and is very cute. But now, it is a seed called hope, which has fallen firmly into Wang Zhaokun's bleeding heart.
He finally jumped down from the railing and took the ultrasound picture with tears in his eyes. Xue Yao broke free from the medical staff, ran quickly to her husband and hugged him, then stretched out her arm to bring Lin Dan in as well.
Looking at the three people leaning against each other tightly, the onlookers all had tears in their eyes and red noses, except Han Xu, who turned his back and clenched his fists tightly. Only he knew that this child was not hope, but a shackle that trapped Lin Dan in this place where there was no future. Without him, no one knows how far Lin Dan will fly or how high she will stand in the future, but there is no doubt that she will live a life a thousand times or ten thousand times better than now.
But now, in order to save Uncle Wang and Aunt Xue, she had to keep the child. Ruifeng Electric is on the verge of bankruptcy, and the Wang family will face endless debts. Everyone can imagine what kind of difficulties she will face if she stays. If it were me, would I be able to stand up without hesitation? Can you give up a good life and a bright future and choose a path full of thorns?
Han Xu shook his head secretly, not daring to think about it too deeply. Lin Dan's situation was extremely difficult. She could have said nothing, but she still said it. Why did she do that? Why can she be so brave and fearless? To be honest, she didn't owe the Wang family anything. On the contrary, Wang Jun owed her too much...
The more Han Xu thought about it, the more upset he felt. He had completely forgotten that three days ago, he was still hoping that Lin Dan could give birth to the child. But now, he did not feel fortunate at all, but instead felt an indescribable pity. Everyone present was applauding Lin Dan, but he was the only one who knew what she had given up, so he couldn't even raise his hands, and his heart sank even more.
The police evacuated the crowd and sent Lin Dan and the other two to the reception room downstairs to rest.
Han Xu brought a few cups of hot water and sat next to Lin Dan with a gloomy expression.
Wang Zhaokun kept patting his frightened wife and said in a hoarse voice, "Why didn't you tell me that you were Xiaojun's girlfriend that day?" He had already looked at Lin Dan's mobile phone, which was full of intimate photos of his son and the other party, as well as their WeChat chat records. They were indeed in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.
Of course, the reason why he wanted to confirm this was not because he suspected Lin Dan of having ulterior motives. After all, the Wang family had nothing now, and Lin Dan could not get any benefits from them. He was just worried that the little girl was telling a white lie in order to trick him into coming down from the rooftop.
"I didn't want to embarrass everyone, so I concealed my identity. I'm sorry, Uncle Wang." Lin Dan bowed.
“No, no, no, we are the ones who should say sorry. We didn’t educate Ajun well. How could that child become like this? Our Wang family is so sorry to you!” Wang Zhaokun stood up with red eyes and bowed deeply to Lin Dan.
Xue Yao held Lin Dan in her arms, patting her back gently like a baby, tears streaming down her face.
Lin Dan quickly moved aside and hugged Aunt Xue back with great care. Her face was calm, but her heart was full of bitterness. She felt that fate was like a pair of big hands, cutting off all her escape routes and pushing her into a quagmire. But there was no way. What if she didn't jump down? Could she just watch Wang Zhaokun jump off the building? Wang Zhaokun is dead. How long can the extremely heartbroken Aunt Xue live? She had the ability to save them, but she kept her mouth shut and said nothing. Can she still live with a clear conscience in the future?
Maybe some people can do it, but she can't. One life is already too heavy for her. If she adds two more, she will be crushed sooner or later.
Lin Dan closed his eyes and said to himself silently: "Give up struggling, Lin Dan, this is your fate!"
Han Xu's heart ached violently when he saw the desperate expression that flashed across Lin Dan's face. He stood up suddenly, walked out the door, and stared blankly at the snow-white wall opposite. The three people in the room hugged each other, looking so warm, but he felt a chill, so cold that it felt like a knife cutting his heart if he looked at them for any longer. No one knows how well Lin Dan can live if she leaves all this behind, no one! But he knows!
Wang Jun, do you know how many people you have harmed? He lit a cigarette, squinted his eyes through the smoke, and his expression was more gloomy than ever before.
Lin Dan was worried about Aunt Xue's health, so she quickly sent her back to the sanatorium and also set up a bed for Uncle Wang so that the couple could stay together. Han Xu followed her around and paid more than one million yuan in accommodation fees so that Aunt Xue could live there peacefully for two years. He would still pay for the accommodation fees after two years and would never let Lin Dan worry about it again.
He opened the car door, put one hand on Lin Dan's head, held her arm with the other, and carefully put her into the passenger seat before sitting in the driver's seat. He turned his head, stared at her profile, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you really going to give birth to the child?"
"Well, I have to give birth. I can't watch Aunt Xue die." Lin Dan's expression was firm.
"What about your studies?"
“Please apply for a delay.”
"Do you know how troublesome the Wang family's affairs are?"
"I know that the path I have chosen must be waded through, whether it is a mountain of swords or a sea of fire. What else can I do?" Lin Dan's lips were slightly curved, and she smiled helplessly. She would never regret a decision she had made.
Han Xu couldn't laugh at all. He stared at the woman's face, which was as beautiful as a camellia, and couldn't help but curse loudly. If Wang Jun were here, he would definitely punch his nose to pieces. Does he know what he has failed?
"I'll take you to the apartment. I've bought the furniture and appliances. You can move in right away." Han Xu started the car.
Lin Dan reminded her, "There is a supermarket on the way. Please stop for a while. I want to buy some vegetables and make some soup for Aunt Xue and Uncle Wang in the evening. They are weak and need to be nourished."
Han Xu cursed in his heart again, and said coldly: "Take care of yourself first!"
