"If you give birth to a daughter, they'll pretend they don't know. You won't get a dime of benefit. After you finish your sentence, you still have to raise the child."
Zhao Qingzhu believed that no matter how stupid Lu Qing was, he should be able to distinguish the pros and cons.
Instead of cooperating with the old couple of the Che family to keep and give birth to the child, it would be better to give up the child and directly exchange it for benefits from her.
Zhao Qingzhu: "Lu Qing, don't forget what Che Qingyi did to you."
"When you were deliberately provoking me just now, you said—"
"You said that you chose to attack Che Qingyi right after you two had an intimate moment and when he was least prepared. Is that what you mean?" Lu Qing nodded.
Seeing her nod, Zhao Qingzhu continued: "So don't you feel sad?"
"Che Qingyi has no feelings for you. After hurting you, he will still pretend nothing happened and take advantage of you."
"After Che Qingyi found out it might be a girl, he asked you to abort the baby without hesitation."
"And he ruined your reputation in public. I can guess without even asking that you've been having a hard time lately, right?"
Lu Qing lowered his eyes, unable to say anything stubborn.
Zhao Qingzhu guessed correctly. Ever since Che Qingyi publicly stated that the child in her belly was not his and that he was not prepared to take responsibility, her life... was like being soaked in coptis water.
It's so painful.
Her family blamed her for being shameful, saying she was useless and couldn't even tie a man down.
Said her belly was not growing well.
This is the attitude of her family members, not to mention outsiders.
She became a veritable slut in the neighborhood.
After she was discharged from the hospital after her fight with Ye Wei, every time she went out of the compound, there would always be someone spitting at her or following her with malicious intent, trying to take advantage of her.
Her life was ruined by Che Qingyi.
If it weren't for this, she wouldn't have been so cruel to Che Qingyi.
Seeing that she had tacitly acknowledged that life was difficult, Zhao Qingzhu sighed, "So you should understand Che Qingyi's character best. He is cold, selfish, and has no conscience."
"Just look at me. I was so kind to him before, how did he treat me?"
"The old couple of the Che family said they were on my side, but when Che Qingyi got involved with you, did they actually do anything to support me?"
He said he was sorry for not being able to stop his son.
But Zhao Qingzhu is not stupid. Can't she see whether the old couple has put a lot of effort into leaning towards her?
It was just that she and Che Qingyi had already made plans, and she was the one who allowed Che Qingyi to find a woman, so she didn't have the confidence to argue with the old couple.
But now when she thinks about it, how can she not feel chilled?
When Che Qingyi was demoted, she was the one who took care of the old couple of the Che family. She received a lot of nice words from them, but when they were really needed, they started to act pretentiously.
Zhao Qingzhu: "That's family tradition."
"The Che family's family tradition may be selfishness passed down from generation to generation."
"So if you're taking this gamble, don't hold out hope that the Che family will recognize you even if you give birth to a daughter."
"They keep their word. If they say they won't recognize it, they won't recognize it."
"Even if you give birth to a son, they won't give you much benefit. If you push them too far, they'll sue you to get the son for Che Qingyi."
When it comes to "suing", Lu Qing won't get much benefit.
Zhao Qingzhu: "You are not a smart person. I have never changed my opinion of you."
"Don't be angry, I'm not scolding you. Let's be honest, you really don't have much brains. Do you admit it?"
Lu Qing: “…”
Zhao Qingzhu: "You agreed."
"Because you're not smart, your family doesn't seem to care about you much. No one will help you analyze the pros and cons and help you come up with ideas."
"That's why I've analyzed the pros and cons for you in such detail so you can make a choice."
"What I just said about being sorry and thanking you was all sincere. Even with all this sincerity, I won't hurt you now."
Lu Qing's eyes flashed and he looked down at his stomach for a while.
She didn't let Zhao Qingzhu wait for long, and made the decision faster than Zhao Qingzhu expected.
"I don't need a child, and I won't tell those two old men from the Che family that you were the one who instigated me to not have a child."
"But I have two requests."
Zhao Qingzhu felt relieved when she saw him so sensible: "Go ahead."
Lu Qing: "My first request is that you send me to work somewhere else after I'm released from prison."
Zhao Qingzhu: "You mean, you want a job outside the city?"
Lu Qing: "Yes, I don't need to tell you the reason, right?"
She not only has a bad reputation in the local area, but is also famous for "eradicating the roots" of Che Qingyi.
It can be said that with her current "reputation", she will not be able to survive after being released from prison.
Her family won't care about her, and if she doesn't have a stable job, it will be difficult for her to survive.
Zhao Qingzhu: "I understand. I will help you with this matter."
"So your other request is that you ask Dongche Qingyi to write a letter of apology to help you reduce your sentence?"
This was the request she thought Lu Qing would make.
But Lu Qing shook his head after hearing this.
Lu Qing said: "My second request is not this."
"You've told me so many 'truths', so I'll tell you the truth too."
“I don’t actually want a reduced sentence.”
Finally, as he wished, he saw the other party's emotions fluctuate to the point of changing his expression on the spot. Lu Qing smiled and shook his head.
"I won't commute your sentence. You heard me right. I'm not crazy."
"With my current reputation... to be honest, it's better to stay here than outside."
