After making up his mind, Shen Ke slammed the car door and went upstairs with his head held high.
But before she took two steps, she bent down and said, "It hurts... my stomach hurts..."
*
Shen Ke found that every time she was given a pregnancy test, there would be a long delay, and then the doctor would isolate her alone and have private conversations with her family members.
Several times she thought that the doctor must be playing tricks, and in order to deceive more medical expenses, he said that pregnant women and babies were the best money earners. But then she thought about it, and Xi Xiangdong and Tong Leyan were not easy to deceive.
The doctor and Tong Leyan chatted for too long at the door. Shen Ke felt sleepy and fell asleep again with his eyelids rolled up.
When I woke up again, the curtains in the ward had been opened, and the sun was shining brightly into the room.
There are fragrant lilies placed by the bedside. I don't know who sent them, and the petals are still decorated with fresh morning dew.
The faint sound of two people arguing could be heard in my ears.
"Shen Ke is relying on the Tong family now, so you don't need to worry about it at all. You are already like a mud Buddha crossing the river, and you can't protect yourself. Why bother provoking your colleagues again?"
Then came Xi Xiangdong's voice, cold and resolute: "She is my child in her belly now. I don't care about her, who will care about her? She and the Tong family are not what you think. She doesn't want to go back at all. The Tong family doesn't care about her. She is no different from an enemy or a stranger. If I don't pick her up, am I going to let her face this alone?"
There was a long silence after these words. Shen Ke sat up and was about to get out of bed when he heard Xi Wanlai's voice again: "Brother, I know your feelings for Ke Ke are incomparable to mine, but you have to You know, Dad won't let you destroy yourself. Shen Ke has ruined you and the Tong family as your backer, but if you don't marry Yang Yunguang, no one can protect you. If you go to jail, who will take care of Ke Ke?"
Shen Ke was frightened when he heard this. Things have reached this point, like weights at both ends of the scale. Do you want her or a bright future?
Xi Xiangdong seemed silent. Did he acquiesce?
Xi Wanlai continued: "If you really like Keke, marry Yang Yunguang. After two years, things will go away. Whether you divorce or reach an agreement, you can still be with Keke. In this circle, the second Marriage and extramarital affairs are commonplace.”
Shen Ke felt chilled and even trembled all over.
Does Xi Wanlai mean to let her be the mistress, the mistress, the one who can't see the light?
If this is the case, she would rather separate from Xi Xiangdong and raise the children by herself, or live without contact for the rest of her life. Now that he has sacrificed her for her future, what will she do in the future when she is old and has no name or status?
Unknowingly, her palms were sweating, and when Xi Xiangdong spoke again, she held her breath nervously.
"If a man can't give his woman the minimum protection, then what's the point of no matter how much money he makes or how big his career is? If you really love someone, you won't be willing to let her suffer a little injustice."
Shen Ke was startled, and his heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.
He keeps saying he loves her, but he always asks her to sacrifice him. The person who loves her most must be himself.
She almost rushed out, hugged his neck and said: I forgive you, no matter what crime you committed, I will wait for you, and the child and I will wait for you.
However, Xi Wanlai continued: "Dad will not let you do such nonsense, and neither will I. Starting today, Huanqiu will fully acquire Boxiao, and the family will not provide you with any support. Without the company, what will you do with us?" If the Tong family fights against each other, what capital is there to get Shen Ke back?"
