He Junxiao in front of him vowed: "I will make good money in the future, for you and the child!"
Ren Shumin's expression suddenly changed, and her eyelashes trembled: "Child? What are you talking about?"
He slowly raised his eyes, seemingly with some difficulty: "Shu Min, I know... you are pregnant."
"You..." She took a step back, and her face finally showed real surprise: "How did you know?"
"...Last time you went to the hospital, I happened to go home to get some documents and saw the pregnancy test report in your drawer."
His voice was so low that it was almost inaudible: "That day... I realized that I wanted to have this child more than I thought."
Ren Shumin subconsciously put her hand on her lower abdomen, her fingertips were cold.
"Shu Min..."
"I... wasn't planning on telling you," she said softly.
"I know! You are afraid of experiencing another failed marriage..."
He suddenly raised his hand to wipe his eyes, with an almost desperate pleading expression on his face: "I admit that I was a jerk before, always spending your money and pretending to be great, but I really want to change... I want to be a good father and a good husband."
"Stop talking."
"I don't expect you to forgive me right away." His voice was a little hoarse. "If you want a divorce, I won't stop you. But the child... he is innocent."
Ren Shumin's eyes were complicated, and her chest rose and fell slightly: "You want me to believe you again because of the child..."
"It's not about trusting me, it's about giving this little life a chance."
"He Junxiao, you are so calculating..." she murmured.
He shook his head and said in a low voice: "I'm not calculating... I just... can't bear to."
A cat's meow came from the depths of the alley, shrill and hollow.
Ren Shumin closed her eyes, as if forcing herself to calm down: "You said you didn't ask for anything, but you knelt down, holding the diamond ring, returning the betrothal gift, paying for the surgery, you did everything to force me to soften my heart."
"...If this counts as coercion, then I accept it." He Junxiao said softly.
She slowly opened her eyes and stared at him kneeling in a mess, her throat aching.
He was clearly wearing shabby clothes and smelled of cheap cologne, but at this moment, he looked just like the man she once loved.
"Shu Min...just give me one chance, even if you don't forgive me, just...don't abort him, okay?"
She asked hoarsely, "Is what you said true?"
"Everything I said is true."
"You swear?"
"I swear."
She stared at him intently, as if trying to find some flaw in his eyes. But his eyes only showed weariness and pleading.
"...I don't want to be deceived by you again."
"No."
"I'm really tired."
"I know."
Her breathing gradually became disordered.
There are alarm bells ringing in my heart, but that little bit of hesitation and reluctance are growing wildly from the old love like weeds.
Seeing that she didn't speak, he slowly lifted her hand and placed her palm on his burning face: "Shu Min, you are the only person I want to protect in my life."
A gust of wind blew by, and the dim light cast a deep shadow on his face, like some kind of evidence of a crime that could never be washed away.
But Ren Shumin didn't know that at this moment, she was still wavering.
I don’t know if she is too stupid or he is too good at manipulating people’s hearts.
She murmured, "He Junxiao...if what you said is all false, I will never let you go again."
"I won't lie to you again." His voice trembled, and his eyes were shining with moisture: "I swear."
She slowly lowered her head and said nothing more.
"Ren Shumin! You're so stupid! He Junxiao has forged your signature and guarantee letter to cash out the mortgage on the house. Once you divorce, he claims he can't repay the loan, and the court will divide the debt. If they can't prove the loan was entirely spent on the other person, the debt is usually divided equally between the husband and wife, or the wife will bear full responsibility."
A girl with short pink hair suddenly appeared, wearing a eavesdropping Bluetooth in her ear, and had been hiding in the dark for a while.
"Who are you?! Are you following us!" He Junxiao had a gloomy face and protected Ren Shumin behind him.
The girl looked at Ren Shumin and explained, "My name is An Xiaosu, and I'm the private detective hired by your mother!"
"Now that things have come to this, I can only confess to you!"
"Actually, your mother has a terminal illness, a brain glioma. The doctor says she has at most six months to live."
"She pretended to ask you for the surgery fee in order to create a situation where she was broke, hoping that He Junxiao would stop pursuing you and agree to divorce you."
"But now he's willing to give you a loan of 300,000 yuan. This proves that he has learned the inside story about the old house being demolished from other channels!"
"He's trying to defraud your family of more money! He's trying so hard to convince you to give birth to the child so he can control and threaten you later!"
"Ren Shumin! Don't be foolish enough to believe this kind of pig-killing scam! Otherwise, your mother will die with regrets!"
"How can she trust you with all her wealth?!"
After saying this, Su Yao waved his hand and removed the barrier.
He Junxiao turned around with a gloomy expression: "Where did you come from?!"
"Ren Shumin, what An Xiaosu said is true."
An Xiaosu has a good memory, especially for handsome men and beautiful women. She was surprised and said, "You are the beautiful sister at the grilled fish restaurant! And this peerless senior brother!"
Liu Yuting didn't say anything, just stared at He Junxiao, stood with his hands behind his back, held back his fists, and finally didn't hit him.
Afraid of being beaten to death with one punch...
"Shu Min, your mother actually found so many people to slander me in order to break us up... I'm really disappointed." He Junxiao sighed.
