Gong Xue’er had an aggrieved look on her face. “You all heard it,” she said to everyone. “This recording was from a month ago. Xia Yangyang had long been planning for me to abort my child. But, I never expected her to do such malicious things. Xia Yangyang, how could you be so cruel? You murderer…”
For the second time in a single day, Xia Yangyang’s body began uncontrolled trembling.
It was a chill that emerged from the depths of her heart.
Indeed, those words in the recording were spoken by Xia Yangyang, but at that time she knew Gong Xue’er’s intentions. She said it just to quickly get rid of Gong Xue’er’s pestering.
But Xia Yangyang never expected that Gong Xue’er was already prepared. Perhaps, Gong Xue’er saw this coming all along.
Xia Yangyang felt that the person before her was too frightening.
She wanted to say something, but it felt like something was lodged in her throat, and she didn’t manage to utter a single word.
Lu Zhenghai and Liu Xinru looked at Xia Yangyang with shock and disappointment in their eyes.
Gong Xue’er’s cries echoed in the hospital room, she continued to sob: “My child, Xia Yangyang, why did you kill the child of Haotian and I? Xia Yangyang, I won’t let you off. I will make you pay for this, you murderer…”
Lu Zhenghai let out a sigh and walked over to the silent Lu Haotian.
“After all, this matter started because of you. What do you plan to do now?” Lu Zhenghai asked.
Lu Haotian hadn’t really looked at Xia Yangyang at all throughout this entire incident. At this moment, he finally spoke: “I will get engaged to Xue’er.”
Lu Haotian’s response startled everyone.
Liu Xinru was the first to express her disagreement: “Have you lost your mind? The child is gone and you still want to get engaged to her. Our Lu Family is one of the prestigious aristocratic families in Feng City. Your future marriage should be with a suitable match, not someone hastily chosen.”
Lu Haotian insisted, speaking gravely: “I will get engaged to Xue’er as soon as possible, and then I will study abroad. Haven’t you always wanted me to study business management in the United States? I will bring Xue’er with me.”
Lu Haotian was resolute, a sight Liu Xinru had never seen from her son before. It was like he had lost all hope.
Maybe it was because his heart was broken. After all, he lost his child.
And the instigator was Xia Yangyang.
The girl Lu Haotian had loved since childhood.
Xia Yangyang didn’t know how she left the hospital.
Walking outside, she felt like a walking corpse.
She remembered Lu Haotian’s last words to her: “Xia Yangyang, from now on, I owe you nothing, and Xue’er owes you nothing. Henceforth, we will be strangers. Take care of yourself.”
She didn’t show it, but her heartache was unbearable. After Lu Haotian finished his statement, Xia Yangyang left; her face was devoid of any expressions. Her heart was convulsing, leaving her numb.
Just as she stepped out, her phone rang.
It was a call from Gu Qichen.
But Xia Yangyang didn’t want to answer it.
Xia Yangyang aimlessly wandered around, not knowing her destination.
Finally, she stopped at a park.
Xia Yangyang sat on a bench by the roadside with a blank mind.
But her heart felt it was being cut by a blunt knife, the dull pain turned her cold and left her shivering.
Xia Yangyang didn’t know how long she sat on the bench, until Gu Qichen appeared before her..
