In addition, she herself is already speeding up the contact to see if there is a suitable heart for heart surgery. In her current state, Xia Meiyue is even worried about her going out.
Upon receiving the news, Li Jianmei was so furious she nearly smashed everything in the room to pieces! She had liked Shao Qibin since childhood, and her lifelong dream was to marry him. She was finally fifteen, and in just three more years she would be of legal age and able to marry Shao Qibin. But then, out of nowhere, a freak appeared – he was already inseparable from Qibin!
She considered many methods, even thinking of having someone secretly put a sack over Zhang Mengxin's head and beat her until she miscarried, but it was just a thought. After all, she was only fifteen years old. Even if she disliked Zhang Mengxin in the past and secretly caused her trouble, she was still worried about Shao Qibin finding out and ruining her image in his eyes. Now, at least the child in Zhang Mengxin's belly was related to Shao Qibin by blood.
“Meimei, what’s there to worry about? Don’t forget, your beloved Qibin brother will soon be sent down to the countryside for training. Isn’t this the information you finally managed to find out? Since your Qibin brother is going into politics, he can’t afford any blemishes on his record. If I remember correctly, Zhang Mengxin is only sixteen years old, not yet an adult. As long as Shao Qibin wants to achieve something in his career, Zhang Mengxin, or rather, the child in Zhang Mengxin’s belly, cannot be allowed to stay.” Li Jianmei’s good friend Mu Zilan was genuinely concerned for Li Jianmei. In fact, according to Mu Zilan, why hang yourself on one tree? But ever since she met Li Jianmei, all she had seen, heard, and received was Li Jianmei’s passionate love for Shao Qibin. Therefore, she could only offer Li Jianmei advice and suggestions.
"Alan, what should I do?" Li Jianmei was also at a loss. Hearing Mu Zilan's well-organized analysis, she felt like a drowning person grabbing onto a piece of driftwood, seeking the only salvation.
“Meimei, at this time, you should go to Uncle Shao and let him know about Shao Qibin’s situation outside. You don’t need to do anything else. Just wait for your Uncle Shao to come to your house to propose marriage, and wait for your engagement banquet with Shao Qibin.” One thing Mu Zilan didn’t mention was that this engagement would probably have to wait until Li Jianmei’s eighteenth birthday, but at least the two families would have a verbal agreement. This would ensure Li Jianmei’s happiness to the greatest extent possible. This matter is too significant. If Shao Guanjie knew that Li Jianmei was aware of this situation and that it had even alarmed the Li family, he might harbor resentment. However, if Shao Guanjie knew that Li Jianmei had kept such a big matter a secret because she admired Shao Qibin, and secretly came to him to discuss it, his feelings would naturally be different.
If the Mu family hadn't always had no interest in officialdom or politics, such a piece of news, if used well, could have dealt a heavy blow to the powerful Shao family. Moreover, Mu Zilan owed Li Jianmei her life, and for Li Jianmei's sake alone, she wouldn't say or do anything more.
The author has something to say: This fierce battle has begun. To save her life points, which are at rock bottom, Lele has no choice but to resort to all sorts of methods. Furthermore, given her current fifteen-year-old form and lack of resources or help, her style of action inevitably leans towards using others' strength against her.
16 The so-called stallion man's decision
Chapter Fifteen: The So-Called Stallion Man's Decision
"Li Jianmei, why are you at my house? My brother isn't home." To be precise, Shao Qibin had just rushed out because he received a phone call. His flustered expression showed the helplessness that a young man of his age should have. However, when faced with Shao Qile's seemingly caring inquiry, Shao Qibin quickly composed himself, displaying an unwavering composure even in the face of adversity. He even patted Shao Qile's head with a smile, as if his brother had his back and he wasn't afraid of anything.
Shao Qile and Li Jianmei had little contact, whether before or after their time travel.
Li Jianmei has recently been focusing on Zhang Mengxin, but has not paid much attention to Shao Qile. At this moment, she accepted her friend Mu Zilan's suggestion to come to the Shao family, only to find out that Shao Qibin had already gone out, while Shao Guanjie was still staying at home, which is why she came to visit.
"Shao Qile, I've come to talk to your uncle about something. Is he home?"
Shao Qile pointed to the study: "My dad is in the study."
Only after Li Jianmei entered the study did Shao Qile turn and go upstairs, showing little interest in the ensuing conversation. She had assumed that Li Jianmei, before turning eighteen and activating her "reborn heroine" aura, would still be a willful and spoiled girl who would do things irrationally. She hadn't expected Li Jianmei to so boldly choose to test the waters by approaching Shao Guanjie.
Leaving aside Li Jianmei and Shao Guanjie's secret espionage in the study, on the other side, Zhang Mengxin, who had finally mustered up the courage to go to the hospital and obtain a definitive test report, began to anxiously wait for Shao Qibin to arrive after making a phone call to him.
I wonder if Shao Qibin will be happy for this little guy.
When Shao Qibin got into his car, his hands were still trembling slightly, but in an instant he had already made his decision.
We can't keep this child!
Upon opening the door, I saw Zhang Mengxin dressed in a dreamy pink outfit. Her face was clean and bare, yet I could still see a blush on her cheeks, making her look very lovely.
"Qibin, you're here!" Zhang Mengxin was overjoyed, her smile almost reaching her ears, unaware that the man who had brought her so much joy and dreams had already made up his mind.
"Qibin, look, this is the hospital's diagnosis. I'm pregnant with your child, and it's been over a month. Do you think the baby knew you were leaving soon and didn't want me, its mother, to be alone, so it came at this time?" Zhang Mengxin's tone was somewhat dreamy. Even though there was no sign of pregnancy yet, she gently held Shao Qibin's hand and touched her belly. It seemed that just like this, she could feel the sweet happiness of a family of three.
Shao Qibin has always been a seemingly gentle but actually ruthless person. His nature is inherently contradictory; he has a soft and gentle side, but also a rational and decisive nature. Just like now, he is happy for Zhang Mengxin's joy, but at the same time, he is not wavering in the slightest in his decision.
“Mengxin, you’re only sixteen. You’ll be a senior in high school next semester, and the college entrance exam is no easy feat. It will affect your entire future. We’re both still young. We can have a child anytime. If you decide to have this child now, it means you’ll have to spend at least three years, from pregnancy and breastfeeding to the child starting kindergarten, before you’ll have time to do your own things. Besides, Mengxin, I’m going to be sent to a rural area for training soon, and I won’t be able to fulfill my responsibilities as a father.”
“Mengxin, I hope our child will be born when we are both ready to take on the responsibilities of being a father and mother, and that he will be born with everyone’s blessings.”
Zhang Mengxin's face, which had once radiated a rosy glow like peach petals, had now lost its beautiful color, leaving only a pale and powerless expression. She wasn't stupid; the implication in Shao Qibin's words was so clear. She naturally knew that the child's father didn't want the child. She couldn't help but grasp at the last glimmer of hope in her heart: "Brother Qibin, I don't care. I can study at home. You know my foundation is good. I can study at home and take the college entrance exam directly. If that doesn't work, I can hire a tutor. Don't worry, I'll take good care of the child. You can go out and work hard without worrying about me and the baby."
“Mengxin, I’m still young, you don’t understand. The matter of the child isn’t so simple. This child, appearing now, won’t receive everyone’s blessings, nor will it receive the best care. This child cannot be kept.” Shao Qibin’s tone was resolute as he spoke. He had even already planned to secretly contact someone to arrange for the child to be disposed of while the pregnancy was still early, without harming Zhang Mengxin’s health.
Deep down, there were feelings of reluctance and tenderness, but these were suppressed by reason and locked away in a dark abyss. At this moment, there was no room for weakness or compromise.
Just then, his phone rang. Shao Qibin saw it was his father, Shao Guanjie, calling. He cut off his unfinished conversation and got up to answer the phone. Shao Guanjie gave him a command to come home immediately. After hanging up, Shao Qibin glanced at Zhang Mengxin, whose eyes were already red but who stubbornly refused to let a single tear fall. He stepped forward and tenderly half-embraced Zhang Mengxin, his movements so gentle and affectionate, yet his words were so cruel and resolute, leaving no room for negotiation.
“Mengxin, think it over carefully first, child. We will have another one in the future. Dad has something to discuss with me. I’m going back now.”
Zhang Mengxin stared at the closed door, but felt her eyes were extremely dry, and her mouth felt like it was blocked by something. She remained silent for a long time, unable to make a sound.
Zhang Mengxin didn't know how long she sat there blankly before she was awakened by the knocking on the door. When she opened the door and saw Li Meng, her tears finally found an outlet and burst forth, and she cried uncontrollably.
"Oh! How could you do this! The little one is so cute, how could you just say you don't want him/her anymore!"
"Don't cry, don't cry. Our Mengxin is the strongest mother. Even for the baby, we can't cry like this. Even if the baby's father doesn't want the child, we can still take good care of the baby, right?"
"Look, isn't that how it's always written in novels? Single mothers raise their children independently and strongly, and then wait for the children's fathers to regret it or something. Our Mengxin is so great, even without the children's father, she can still take good care of the children."
...
That night, Zhang Mengxin, who was eagerly waiting for Shao Qibin's comfort, never saw the man she thought she could entrust her life to. Instead, she settled down in the arms of her neighbor's older sister, letting go of all her humility and timidity.
Having regained her composure, Zhang Mengxin made a decision: she would go south to her adoptive parents' house. She knew Shao Qibin's temperament. Once Shao Qibin made a decision, he would never change it. This man always appeared gentle but was actually domineering and arbitrary. Since he had already decided not to have their child, he would definitely find a way to make her lose it.
This is her child!
How could she bear to let her child be ruthlessly eliminated before even seeing the vibrant world?
"Sister Li Meng, you must help me this time. Please book me the fastest train ticket to Y Province. He doesn't want this child, but I do!"
Li Meng, who had been patting Zhang Mengxin's back at a steady pace, paused for a moment. Inwardly, she groaned, wondering if Zhang Mengxin had really read too many romance novels and was taking herself far too seriously. Anyone with a modicum of rationality knew that what Zhang Mengxin said was problematic. And yet, Zhang Mengxin was actually going along with it.
So, is this really the difference between sixteen and eighteen?
But when she was sixteen, although she also liked to dream of being a princess, she wasn't at the point where she couldn't distinguish between dreams and reality at all!
Author's Note: Ta-da! Let the harem guy make a cameo appearance! He immediately burst the local heroine's dream bubble, didn't he!
17 Calculations - Miscarriage
Chapter Sixteen: Calculating a Miscarriage
When Shao Qile watched Li Jianmei emerge from the study, though she tried her best to remain calm, the joy in her eyes was undeniable. He slowly stroked his chin with his right thumb, sensing something amiss. It seemed Li Jianmei had received some kind of "sweetness" from Shao Guanjie. The only thing that could elicit such obvious joy from Li Jianmei was Shao Qibin, whom she deeply longed for and who was deeply attached to her mother.
After thinking for a moment, Shao Qile called the detective agency she had hired with the pocket money she had saved from this body. She felt that following Li Jianmei would bring some unexpected gains.
