Chapter 457: Chapter 387: Birth Mother Indifferent Like a Chrysanthemum? The Young Miss Sabotages Everything with a Backhand 27
Zhu Manqing was not blinded by excitement over the situation; she was a very composed person.
The main reason she agreed to return to the Su Family with Su Qin was that she believed that having a child could help her compete against the now obsolete Ning Fu and strive to rise to power.
After all, Ning Fu and Su Qin’s relationship had already deteriorated.
From the rearview mirror, Su Zhiruan saw Zhu Manqing’s hand still resting on her belly. Just this simple gesture was enough to show how much she valued the child.
It’s no wonder that in the original plot, when Zhu Manqing found out that the original character had tricked her into miscarrying, she directed her hostility towards Su Zhiruan, hated her fiercely, and spared no means or cost to make the original suffer the consequences.
“Director Su, I’m a bit worried…” Zhu Manqing covered her belly, her eyes moving to Su Qin, filled with anxiety, gazing at him so tenderly that one look could melt a man’s heart.
Su Qin was no exception; he was just an ordinary man, plus he had just received the good news about Zhu Manqing’s pregnancy. Now, even if she wanted the stars from the sky, he would seriously consider it.
“Worried about what? Don’t worry, I’m here. You just need to take good care of the pregnancy and give birth to the child, that’s enough. Look, even Ruanruan likes this child very much. When it’s time to deliver, whatever you want, I’ll buy it for you!” Su Qin was now elated. He felt he could fulfill any of her requests as long as they weren’t excessive. Being a very clever woman, Zhu Manqing knew what to ask for and what not to, so she never made unreasonable demands. Sometimes when Su Qin brought her expensive gifts, she would even decline, saying it was too much expenditure, which made Su Qin like her even more.
“Yes, Aunt Zhu, don’t worry at all. What you need to do now is just focus on delivering the baby well,” Su Zhiruan, not one to shy away from stirring things up, smiled slightly and added, “I even feel child and I are connected by fate, Tianci will surely like him too, so you don’t have to worry too much!”
Zhu Manqing didn’t know whether Su Zhiruan’s words were heartfelt or not, but as a first-time mother, she was happy to know her child was accepted and liked by others. Her gaze towards Su Zhiruan became increasingly gentle.
Seeing his own child supported by his eldest daughter, Su Qin’s unease gradually dissipated. He had always worried that Su Zhiruan might have a hard time accepting a sudden sibling and throw a big fuss. But now, Su Zhiruan smilingly said having a brother or sister was a good thing, adding a bond among relatives. So, Su Qin boldly said, “Since Ruanruan has spoken, what more do you need to worry about? She is my beloved eldest daughter. Don’t worry; their brother-sister relationship will definitely be harmonious.”
Su Zhiruan smiled gently, nodding her head.
Seeing his daughter’s supporting stance, Su Qin was overjoyed and added, “After your college entrance exam, I will buy you an apartment. Then, whatever you want to buy or if you want to travel, dad supports you.”
Zhu Manqing felt slightly uncomfortable in her heart. Now pregnant and feeling more assured, she always felt that Su Qin should reserve more for her child. Seeing Su Qin being so generous to Su Zhiruan, she was somewhat displeased. But since her objectives were not yet achieved, and since Su Zhiruan had also been supportive, she didn’t say anything.
“Don’t worry, dad, I naturally support all your actions. Don’t have any concerns; just go ahead boldly!” Su Zhiruan smiled more genuinely. A free apartment for just moving her lips—anyone would be happy about that.
In the original plot, this segment was also very important. Su Qin himself knew what he was doing was wrong since it was his affair that led to this, but he wouldn’t admit it out of pride, always hoping for the support of those around him. If someone stood up to support him at that time, Su Qin’s favorability would definitely increase. However, in the original plot, influenced by Ning Fu, the original character actively sabotaged Zhu Manqing’s child and expressed great dissatisfaction with Su Qin’s affair from the very beginning, which led to a poor impression of Zhu Manqing and even worse of Su Qin, resulting in a tragic outcome.
