Inside the Ouyang family villa, Ouyang Maomao cried and said to Jiang Rou, "What should I do? It seems that Jiang Shengjun already knows that I have given birth. He saw me going out alone to buy new clothes for the baby the other day."
Jiang Rou looked at the twins, who were already a month old, in the baby cradle. Their chubby little faces looked like they had been well cared for by Ouyang Maomao.
She gently stroked the child's face and comforted Ouyang Maomao: "Are you worried that you will be criticized by netizens? Are you worried that your family business will be despised by thousands of people, causing your family to go bankrupt like the Jiang family and have no way to recover?"
Ouyang Maomao witnessed the Jiang family's downfall, and Jiang Shengjun's ranking plummeted from first place.
Her family business is her parents' lifeblood, and if the business goes bankrupt, she won't be able to enjoy the wonderful life she has now.
He nodded to Jiang Rou and knelt down in front of her, saying, "Rou Rou, you have to help me. I have no one to rely on now. If my parents find out the truth, they will not only be disappointed in me, but my family business will also get worse and worse. My parents have worked so hard for so long, I can't let them worry anymore."
Jiang Rou helped Ouyang Maomao up, gave her tissues to wipe her tears, poured her a glass of warm water, and said gently, "There's still hope. Don't worry, I'll help you. But you can't cry now. We need to figure out what to do with these two children."
Looking at her child, whom she had finally raised to a full month old and had managed to bring to life, Ouyang Maomao couldn't bear to leave them.
Tears welled in her eyes as she hugged her pillow, curled up on the sofa, and deeply regretted the choice she had made.
She was at her wit's end, and the thought of the attacks from her parents and netizens terrified her.
She told Jiang Rou, "I know I've done a lot of wrong things, but I don't want my children to be talked about by others in the future, and I don't want them to know that I'm this kind of person. But I also don't want to hurt them; I can't bring myself to do it."
Jiang Rou's words carried a hint of accusation and threat; her patience was running out: "Stop crying! If you hadn't made such a scene back then, things wouldn't be like this now. Now there's only one way out: abandon the child! Fortune favors the bold! Don't you understand?"
Faced with Jiang Rou's insults, Ouyang Maomao didn't know what to do next. After hesitating for a long time, she said:
"Maybe I should just post a video to apologize to everyone. I'll boldly admit my mistake, and that way my child can be saved."
It was pouring rain outside the window, and the wind blew the rain into the room, making it a bit cold. Jiang Rou hugged Ouyang Maomao and said, "Maomao, people will make a lot of mistakes in their lives, but you have to think about the cost of making mistakes. I know you are very sad, but there is nothing I can do."
A strong wind blew in, bringing with it a heavy drizzle, which woke the child up. Jiang Rou patted Ouyang Maomao's back and comforted her, "Alright, don't cry. I'll go close the doors and windows. Let's take care of your health first, otherwise nothing we say will make a difference."
The summer rains were particularly heavy; even with the doors and windows closed, most of her hair was still soaked by the wind and rain.
The room finally quieted down a bit. Ouyang Maomao wiped away her tears and went to the child's side to comfort him.
At this moment, Jiang Rou walked to her side and said, "I know you are reluctant to part with the children, but for the sake of your family business and your own reputation, don't you think these two children are superfluous right now?"
Looking at the child who had been comforted, Ouyang Maomao couldn't stop her tears from falling.
Her babies have always been very well-behaved, and she has taken good care of them for a month. Hearing Jiang Rou say this, she no longer wanted to care about anything.
"Rou Rou, I used to think that reputation was very important, but now I think that children are the most important thing."
Jiang Rou began to whisper in her ear, "The child is very important. Did you tell your parents this month that you had a baby?"
Ouyang Maomao fell silent.
Jiang Rou continued, "You didn't tell them at all, did you? And your parents are coming back tomorrow. You can keep it from the servants and pay the doctor to keep quiet, but can you keep it from your mother? What if your aunt asks you to do a paternity test and the child isn't Jiang Shengjun's? Do you think the Jiang family will let the Ouyang family off the hook?"
The more Jiang Rou talked, the more anxious Ouyang Maomao became, her head throbbing as if it were about to explode.
Seeing her like this, Jiang Rou continued, "Wake up, Maomao. These two children don't have much awareness yet. They're still innocent and don't know anything. If you keep them, when they grow up and know what kind of person you are, will they like you? Think about it, if you go through so much trouble to raise them, will they love you and be filial to you in the future?"
“I don’t think so. I feel they’ll hate you even more. And the Jiang family won’t let you off the hook either. It’s like when you were a kid and someone hit you. After you fought back, your parents said you were born a bad person. Now that you’ve done something wrong again, your parents will despise you too. They simply can’t keep these two kids.”
Hearing Jiang Rou say this, she thought of something that happened many years ago, when she was bullied by people at school, and later Su Wanwan led her to fight back.
As a result, when she got home, her parents kept scolding her for being a bad seed, and they even said that human nature is inherently evil, and that they really regretted giving birth to her.
Even though her mother is sometimes very kind to her, whenever she makes a mistake, her mother will constantly scold her, abandon her, leave her, and make her solve the problem herself.
The more she thought about these things, the more her heart ached. In addition, Jiang Rou kept talking about it in front of her, so she had no choice but to painfully interrupt Jiang Rou.
"Stop talking, Rou Rou, stop talking. My parents are coming home tomorrow, so I'll leave these two children with you this afternoon. You can give them away or lose them, just don't let me know."
