At the age of nineteen, encountering such a thing, one would first panic.
Su Xiaomeng had been a troublemaker since childhood, causing countless mishaps, but she’d never caused such a big problem. Just the thought of her parents finding out, or the news spreading at school, rendered her speechless with fear, leaving her only able to curl up on her bed hugging her knees.
"What’s the use of crying!"
Yin Meng was somewhat annoyed, "The matter has already happened, and you’re still saying nothing! How are we going to solve it?!"
Su Xiaomeng felt even more wronged by Yin Meng’s scolding...
If it weren’t for your beastly little uncle, would I be in this situation now?
Feeling utterly aggrieved in her heart, but how could she tell Yin Meng that the culprit was her little uncle!
"Su Xiaomeng, can’t you say something?"
Su Xiaomeng buried her face in her arms, determined to remain silent.
Yin Meng looked down, then picked up the knocked-over cabinet and put it back in place. Before long, a nurse came in to take her temperature and administed another IV.
She was still running a low fever. The nurse said it could easily recur over the next couple of days and recommended staying in the hospital for a bit more observation.
Yin Meng stayed with her at the hospital until the afternoon.
Having known Su Xiaomeng for over a year, she had never seen her so distraught. Su Xiaomeng was always full of energy, always with an air of calm as if no matter what happened, someone tall would stand up to it.
But even the broadest-minded people have moments they can’t endure.
"Meng Meng..."
"Finally willing to speak?"
"You should go back first, I want to be alone."
"Do you think I dare to leave you alone like this?" Yin Meng rolled her eyes hard. "Being pregnant isn’t a small matter. We should inform uncle and aunt, don’t you think?"
Su Xiaomeng shook her head frantically, like a rattle, "No way! Absolutely not! I’ll handle it myself!"
"You still won’t say who it is?"
"I don’t even know myself..."
"You don’t even know?"
"I... really don’t know." She lowered her head, not daring to look at Yin Meng.
"Su Xiaomeng, you’re really so muddle-headed!" Yin Meng didn’t even know how to scold her!
She glanced at her watch and sighed, then stepped forward to hug her, "Xiao Meng, the sky won’t fall, I’m still by your side. Think it through and let me know your decision, I’ll help you."
Su Xiaomeng sniffled, feeling touched, and nodded, "Mm."
Yin Meng had an agreement with Yin Shixiu to return to the Yin Family Old Mansion that night, so she couldn’t continue to stay with Su Xiaomeng. But before leaving, she reminded the nurse to keep a close eye on her.
Su Xiaomeng leaned against the bed looking out the window, genuinely feeling unlucky! First, being inexplicably taken advantage of by an old man, she spent many days digesting that fact. Just when she finally started to accept it, little did she expect there would be more to the story...
And this story continued just after she and Ren Yixuan confessed to each other!
She felt pained, as Ren Yixuan rightly said, why would he want a woman who wasn’t pure and didn’t know shame...
Pregnancy...
Those two words really dumbfounded her.
What kind of monster is that uncle, how could he land a hit in just one go?!
She just felt her scalp tingling painfully, her eyes dry one moment and wet the next.
Su Xiaomeng stayed in the hospital for three days and was discharged on the third day in the evening, but then it started to snow heavily outside.
Yin Meng had said earlier she would pick her up, so after completing the discharge procedures, she sat in the lobby waiting for Yin Meng.
As she was leaving, the doctor’s words left her somewhat dazed.
In a daze, she saw a tall figure approaching her, clad in a black overcoat, with some snowflakes scattered on his shoulders, and a brown scarf was wrapped around his neck...
