265 Disputes
“I know, Auntie,” Liu Chen nodded. “Xiang Cheng’s behavior towards Xue is so vile that he should be taught a lesson. Don’t worry, I won’t say anything.”
Xia Chun smiled. Only after Liu Chen left did she say to Jiang Xue, “Xue, you must not tell Xiang Cheng that you’re pregnant. Abort the child and pretend that this never happened, understand?”
Jiang Xue hadn’t expected Xia Chun to say that. She shouted in distress, “Mom, do you know what you’re saying? This child is my only chance to enter the Xiang family. I won’t abort it.”
Xia Chun was so incensed that she wanted to beat this ignorant daughter to death. However, when she raised her hand, she couldn’t bear to do it.
Xia Chun heaved a deep sigh and said, “Your child isn’t Xiang Cheng’s. If Xiang Cheng finds out about this, do you think you’ll still have the chance to enter the Xiang family?”
Jiang Xue looked at Xia Chun in disbelief and said in a questioning tone, “Mom, what nonsense are you spouting? How could my child not be Brother Cheng’s?”
As if she suddenly thought of something, Jiang Xue immediately distanced herself from Xia Chun. She covered her stomach with her hands and said, “I know, does the Xiang family not want me anymore after our family went bankrupt? Did Dad take Uncle Xiang’s money, so you and Dad are lying to me, saying that the child isn’t Brother Cheng’s, and then tricking me into getting an abortion?”
The more Jiang Xue spoke, the more agitated she became. She was almost hysterical. “Mom, I’m your child. Why are you doing this to me? Father, how could you do such a thing? You don’t even care about your own daughter’s happiness for that 100 million?”
Xia Chun really hadn’t expected Jiang Xue’s imagination to run wild. She said impatiently, “We’re not lying to you. You’re almost three months pregnant. Use your brain and think about it. It��s only been less than ten days since you and Xiang Cheng had sex. How could you be three months pregnant?”
Xia Chun told her the truth directly. She didn’t want her daughter to do anything stupid because she was not clear-headed.
However, Jiang Xue didn’t believe Xia Chun’s words at all at this time. She only believed what she wanted to, and that was what Xiang Cheng had said — that her father had accepted the Xiang family’s money and agreed to break off the engagement. Therefore, even if the child was really Xiang Cheng’s, her parents would definitely lie to her and say that it was not.
Seeing that Jiang Xue obviously didn’t believe her, Xia Chun could only helplessly say, “Xue, I’m not lying to you. If you don’t believe me, I’ll go look for the doctor and let him tell you.”
Jiang Xue shook her head hard and said firmly, “I don’t believe what you said, and I won’t believe the doctor you call over. You’ll definitely team up with the doctor to lie to me and then abort the baby when I’m not paying attention. I won’t believe anything you say. I want to look for Brother Cheng. He will protect me and the child.”
Jiang Xue looked at Xia Chun warily, afraid that Xia Chun would call a doctor to get an abortion.
Jiang Lun, who had been silent all this while, was about to explode from anger at his idiot daughter. He stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Xue’s arm, “You must abort this child.”
Jiang Xue struggled with all her might and screamed, “No! None of you can abort the child between Brother Cheng and I. Dad, please let me off. I’m your biological daughter. You only got 100 million when you agreed to break off the engagement, but if I give birth to a child of the Xiang family, it will be more than 100 million, Dad!”
Xia Chun rolled her eyes and pulled at her husband, saying, “Hubby, I think Xue is right. Why don’t we make a bet?”
Jiang Lun pushed Xia Chun away. “What bet? Do you think the Xiang family is easy to fool? How long do you think you can hide this little trick?”
Jiang Xue thought that Jiang Lun was still acting and began to cry. “Dad, I’m pregnant with the Xiang family’s child. What are you afraid of?”
Jiang Lun really wanted to give Jiang Xue a tight slap because he realized that no matter what he said, Jiang Xue would think that he was lying to trick her into getting an abortion.
Xia Chun didn’t want any more conflicts between her husband and daughter, so she dragged Jiang Lun out.
Jiang Xue, who was in the ward, was relieved. She caressed her stomach and looked happily at the unborn child who could let her enjoy wealth and glory.
Xia Chun pulled Jiang Lun to a corner with only a handful of people and whispered, “Hubby, I think what Xue said makes sense.”
