Mr. Wu was a highly reputable traditional Chinese medicine practitioner that Elder Mo had exclusively utilized for many years.
Just a slight pulse-feel could let him detect a pregnancy.
If Grandpa found out she was pregnant, this child would in no way be aborted.
Because even if the child wasn’t aborted now, it would be later.
Better to take this chance to deal with it early while the months are still few and nobody knows.
Upon seeing this, Yu Siqiao coldly said, "What, getting cold feet now?"
Mr. Mo looked at Mo Shu’s reaction and couldn’t help feeling anxious, "Shushu, whether you’re pregnant or not, don’t talk nonsense. If it’s true, it’s true; if it’s not, it’s not. Grandpa will make the decision for you!"
Mo Shu pursed her lips and said, "Grandpa, there’s no need to call."
"I’m pregnant," Si Qiao stated with certainty, "The day after the engagement party, she tried to sneak off for an abortion on her own, but I caught her."
This statement made everyone around inhale sharply, staring at Mo Shu in disbelief.
"Really? How can this be... I find it so unbelievable..."
"Princess Mo is so fond of Young Master Yu, the engagement party was such a grand affair, shouldn’t a pregnancy be cause for universal celebration? This is..."
"Could it be a case of playing hard to get?"
"I think so, too. Princess Mo is definitely playing a game of hard to get, pretending to seek an abortion, but actually, she was deliberately leaking the news to Young Master Yu to make him feel sorry for her... Wow, that’s some serious scheming!" Official source is nοvelfire.net
These murmurs grew louder until Li Shaobai couldn’t take it anymore and shouted, "Don’t talk nonsense! If it weren’t for my brother-in-law being tied up last minute and my sister dragging me along for a pregnancy checkup, I would never have known Princess Mo would consider abortion!"
Only then did Mo Shu look toward Li Shaobai, fuming, "So it was you!"
Embarrassed, Li Shaobai managed a sheepish smile, "I just happened to be there and called Brother Yu, haha..."
Yu Siqiao watched Mo Shu’s reaction with narrowed eyes, feeling a stifling frustration inside.
The woman who once wouldn’t leave his side, calling out ’Si Qiao’ with every other word, had become more and more foreign to him.
Shushu, who would have d the carefully prepared wedding candies and sought an abortion behind his back, even seemed firm on not wanting to uphold the marriage contract, now determined to call off the engagement... Why was this happening?
Old Man Mo, feeling very distressed, stood up and said, "Shushu, have you been wronged? You can talk to Grandpa about anything, don’t shoulder it all by yourself, Grandpa will feel hurt for you."
Mo Shu, feeling a pang of sorrow, uttered, "Grandpa..."
Mr. Mo continued, "But no matter what disputes you may have, the child is innocent..."
Mo Shu, unable to listen anymore, blurted out, "Grandpa, I don’t want it."
"Shushu, don’t be willful. You’ve finally made it to this point..."
"So what?" Mo Shu snapped back, both annoyed and angry, "He looks down on me so much, should I still have his child?"
Facing the gazes of those around her, Mo Shu suddenly laughed, "Mo Jiantao was right last night. A child is destined to be another me. Born to parents who can never love each other, his childhood would be spent amidst their quarrels and fights. One day when his mom can’t take it anymore and commits suicide, like my mom did, then what he’s left with is a broken family. Why bother."
