Jiang's father followed anxiously.
She kept thinking to herself, "Please don't let her get disfigured. She's a big star; she makes a living off her looks. What if she gets a scar on her face?"
Liu Yu had already told Qi Jingchen yesterday that he would come over today.
It was completely unexpected to witness this scene.
Liu Yu listened at the door for a few minutes and roughly understood what was going on.
These friends had no idea that Qi Jingchen had a girlfriend.
I wanted to ask him what his attitude was towards Qin Yue, but now it seems there's no need for that at all.
Liu Yu drove them to the hospital.
After the examination, the doctor's words stunned them all.
"Pregnant?!"
After confirming that the child was alright, Jiang's father smiled, revealing a set of yellow teeth, and his eyes narrowed into slits.
Pregnancy is good, pregnancy is good! This child came at just the right time, so his daughter can marry into a wealthy family. Let's see how this guy surnamed Qi tries to renege on his debt.
If the man surnamed Qi doesn't acknowledge it, he'll go to the company entrance and shout through a loudspeaker.
Qi Jingchen's face was pale and uncertain.
He clearly took precautions when he was with Jiang Qingtang, and even if it didn't happen at the time, he made her remember to take the pill afterwards. How did she suddenly get pregnant?
Or did she not take the medication afterwards?
Liu Yu silently walked a few steps away from the ward door. This was their business, and it was inconvenient for him, an outsider, to listen any further.
Just then, his phone rang.
"Xin Xin, what's wrong?"
On the other side, Liu Mengxin had the words on the tip of her tongue but didn't know how to say them.
Her brother has liked someone for so many years, and he finally got his chance, but he was too late. It makes her sad just thinking about it.
She knew that this time, her brother might really miss out on something for the rest of his life.
Liu Mengxin sniffed and said in a hoarse voice, "Brother, Yuanyuan said... her cousin has a boyfriend. Just yesterday... she got together with that Mr. Lu."
Liu Yu's legs felt as heavy as lead, and he stood there blankly.
After not hearing Liu Yu speak for a long time, Liu Mengxin asked anxiously, "Brother, are you listening? You..."
"I understand, um, I'm fine." Liu Yu said in a hoarse voice and then hung up the phone.
He turned around, his mocking gaze landing on the ward.
It turns out, he was the one who was stubborn and foolish.
He considered his brotherhood and even wanted to tell Qi Jingchen his thoughts in person before expressing his feelings to Qin Yue. But in the end, Qi Jingchen was secretly dating someone else and even had a child. He missed out time and time again because of his indecisiveness.
He was no longer able to care about Qi Jingchen's affairs and walked towards the elevator in a daze.
Once in the car, he found Qin Yue's contact information, stared at the string of numbers, and finally made up his mind to dial it.
For no other reason than to say goodbye to my past.
...
Jiang Qingtang has woken up in the ward.
The wound on her forehead had been treated and was not deep. The reason she fainted was due to a combination of sudden anger and low blood sugar.
She leaned against the headboard, her fingers gently stroking her abdomen, where a small life lived.
For the past three months.
If you count the days, it was left behind by Qi Jingchen's loss of control just before she participated in "Heartbeat Action".
That night, she only failed to take precautions once, as she was preoccupied with her safe period and didn't think much of it.
As a result, they fell victim to the scam.
She never thought about it when she missed her period. Her periods are sometimes irregular, and she was thinking that if she didn't get her period this time, she would go to the hospital to get some medicine to regulate it. She never expected that she was pregnant.
However, she had already broken off her relationship with Qi Jingchen.
What should we do about this child?
If she stays, can she be a good single mother?
Furthermore, what will happen to her acting career?
She is currently at the peak of her career, and having this child would mean leaving the entertainment industry.
Unable to make up her mind, she looked up at Qi Jingchen, a hopeless longing in her eyes, hoping he would say he wanted to keep the child, so that all the feelings she had invested would not have been in vain.
"Abort it."
Those two cold, hard words shattered all her illusions.
"I will make sure you receive all the compensation you deserve. Even without this child, I guarantee your career in the entertainment industry will be smooth sailing."
Jiang Qingtang's eyes dimmed instantly, but before she could even speak, her father, who was squatting at the door of the ward, objected and immediately pushed the door open and came in.
"What do you mean by this, Mr. Qi? Your Qi family is a wealthy and powerful family, running such a large company, able to support thousands of employees, but unable to support a single child?"
Qi Jingchen had no time for idle chatter and looked at him coldly: "Five million, abort the child. You get nothing if the child is born. The choice is yours."
Upon hearing this, Jiang's father, who was about to curse, swallowed back the profanities that were on the tip of his tongue.
He had never seen so much money in his life.
Since Qi Jingchen was willing to give five million in one go, a little more would definitely not be a problem, even an extra 100,000 would be good.
Mr. Jiang tried to raise the price again: "Hitting a child is bad for her health, and she has to be raised. My daughter might not be able to work for a month. Is five million enough?"
"That means you don't want anything at all." Qi Jingchen said coldly, a mocking smile playing on his lips. "What right do you think you have to bargain with me here?"
"Are you done talking?" Jiang Qingtang, lying on the hospital bed, gripped the blanket tightly, her lower lip bitten until it bled, her hoarse voice filled with endless sorrow. "When you were talking about these things, did you even consider me? I am a living, breathing person, not a commodity."
She tried to widen her eyes, not wanting the tears to fall, but they still streamed down her cheeks, blurring her vision. She cried as she questioned Jiang's father:
"Do you even consider me your daughter? Money, money, money, all you care about is money! If it weren't for you, how could I have ended up in this embarrassing situation? If it weren't for you, how could I have felt inferior to everyone and never been able to hold my head up in front of others since I was a child?"
I've tried so hard to live, why can't you just let me catch my breath!
"Did you see the injury on my head? You pushed me! Did you even say a word of concern for me? You kept saying it was for my own good, to stop me from aborting the child, but five million? Five million is all it takes for you to change your tune."
Jiang's father was embarrassed by what she said.
Jiang Qingtang was completely disappointed in him. She raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face and met Qi Jingchen's gaze: "I can get rid of the child, and I don't want a penny from you, but I have one condition. As long as you agree, we will go our separate ways and have nothing to do with each other anymore."
