Chapter 30: 030. Persuade, Assume, Confess

But if that’s the case, won’t it benefit that ungrateful wretch and that heartless man?

Raised from a young age, won’t that heartless one then acknowledge a thief as her mother!

The thought of the future when the Dai family trio flaunts in front of her, where the unfilial son, who emerged from her womb, is devoted to Bai Jing but disdains his real mother in every way, makes Shuzhen feel even more stifled. The eagerness that Lianshan had almost stirred in her heart started to waver once more.

Lianshan, seeing this, assumed she was being stubborn yet soft-hearted, unwilling to let go of the child in her womb. He quickly changed his approach to persuade her, suggesting for instance, having the child and raising him well, teaching him to know only his birth mother and forget his biological father. In the future, the child would be both scholarly and brave, but would only keep his mother and stepfather in his heart and at his lips. He’d say that being the son of his mother and receiving his stepfather’s upbringing is his greatest fortune, making him feel like the happiest child in the world.

The most unfortunate and resentful aspect would be having the bloodline of a certain unfaithful father, and in his youth, he even thought of imitating Nezha to cut his bone and return it to his father, severing all ties with the despicable family. In his twenties, he might not even dare to marry for fear that his child would grow to resemble his ungrateful grandfather, making him a laughing stock...

Ahem, even though I know this guy is just spouting nonsense, with sweat pouring down his face, trying his best to persuade me not to risk my life to get an abortion. However, to cultivate that little ungrateful one into someone who doesn’t resent the heavens or the earth, but solely targets the deadbeat dad and the homewrecker, igniting a mode of mockery whenever their true love’s topic comes up...

Makes Dai Weiguo and Bai Jing seethe with anger, yet they can do nothing about it. After all, a childless son for Dai Weiguo is his sole beacon! If slapped on the left cheek, he’d still obediently offer the right cheek, praising the slap. How satisfying is that to think about?

Feeling quite tempted, wanting to give it a go!

Anyway, there’s a risk with the D&C procedure now. If something happens by chance, it could cost her little life, which she has so hard to regain, or affect her fertility. Under such premise, whether she could muster the remaining courage or not, she’d absolutely not find another chance for a fait accompli. This foolish man will surely relay today’s matter and the doctor’s assessment of the risks comprehensively to Brother Liu, and no way would her body safety be taken lightly by him; he never compromises on such matters.

And the gynaecology and obstetrics department’s chief physician from the provincial hospital isn’t even confident, so if her two overprotective brothers were to agree to let her take this risk, it’d be like the sun rising from the West!

She came out full of ambition, ready to have surgery, clutching a hope in her heart for the unfilial child in her belly. To completely bury past grievances and that marriage with Dai Weiguo along with the unfilial child, and then live modestly and blissfully, while just tending to Brother Lianshan and the few kids for the rest of her life. Everything was prepared, yet she didn’t expect such a twist. Does it mean heaven just can’t bear to see her sail smoothly into happiness and had to send the unfilial child to obstruct her sweet days?

Shuzhen’s face was full of frustration, strongly rejecting this notion.

Worn out from persuasion, saying everything both should and shouldn’t be said. Feeling parched already, yet not even seeing a hint of a smile on Shuzhen’s face, Lianshan felt extremely worried. They had been inside for such a long time too. He wondered if Hai Zi and the father-son pair were anxious not seeing him. He was focused on stopping Shuzhen from doing anything foolish, forgetting to explain things to the younger brother.

Brother Liu was absent, and fearing that Shuzhen might make a comeback, he dared not leave for a second. Or else if she managed to sneak off for surgery and something untoward happened, Lianshan couldn’t bear the consequences himself. Putting in such effort just to fish her out from the river, making ginger tea and noodle soup, narrowly protecting her from a harsh kick from Wu Xia!

Exerted a ton of energy, willpower, words to drag her out from the bullheaded pursuit of death, so how could he just watch her end on the operating table?

Not to mention, she just spent 200 yuan plus 50 kg of nationwide grains stamps to save his nephew’s life, the benefactor to the entire Lian family. It wouldn’t be excessive for both brothers to repay her as cattle or horses, let alone watching the benefactor go towards danger without pulling her back!

Slashing through logic in his mind, finally finding a bunch of justified reasons to stay, Lianshan sat even more steadfast and unbudged there. Unless Brother Liu came back to take over, he wouldn’t leave.

That serious and cautious look made Shuzhen chuckle: How afraid is he of her ignoring the advice, sneaking off for an abortion again?

Haha, can she say she’s already moved by him, decided against aborting the unfilial child and would focus enthusiastically on nurturing him into a headache for those two scum?

Shuzhen smiled, her gaze softened, and she praised Brother Lianshan’s wit full of admiration, then slowly unfolded her difficulty. Men fear entering the wrong profession, while women fear marrying the wrong husband. Her parents carefully chose a good match when they were alive, a sincere person vetted by her brothers strictly. Thinking back, who didn’t envy Liu Shuzhen for her good fortune, marrying a caring and ambitious man?

But in just a few years, true love between couples is no match for a bright future!

Even though being a young girl, one could still pick out the wolf in sheep’s clothing. Now she’s a wilting flower with a belly of an ungrateful little wolf. How easy is it to find a stepdad for this little brat? Times are tough, and unless really forced, who’d happily step up to be a dad, let alone treating someone else’s child as their own?

Lianshan couldn’t stand having Shuzhen look at him with such big, misty almond eyes. As he looked at her helpless gaze and listened to her self-pitying words, he shook his head like a rattle drum: "Shuzhen, you’re kind, beautiful, capable both at home and outside, literate and insightful. There’s no girl more outstanding in the ten-mile radius than you.

Dai Weiguo is blind and heartless, focusing only on his career, losing his conscience. As a man, instead of relying on his own ability to make progress step by step, he wishes to cling to a woman’s skirt and climb up, utterly disgracing us Northeastern people. Having such a thing, Shuzhen, just count it as bad luck stepping in dog sh*t. Don’t let it affect you, don’t let that one mouse droppings ruin the entire pot of good soup! Under the heavens..."

There are still plenty of responsible men who cherish their wives! When the peach blossom fades, there will still be apricot blossoms. Why hang on a crooked neck tree?

Lianshan saw that Shuzhen finally seemed to come out of her stubborn hole, apparently giving up on the idea of risking her life for surgery. Encouraged, he continued to persuade, but hadn’t even gotten halfway through his words when he was caught off guard by Shuzhen’s sudden question that dropped his jaw. After a monumental coughing fit, his dizzy head kept spinning with one thought: there are plenty of good men, but his confidence is lacking, afraid of encountering another wolf in sheep’s clothing. He only trusted Lianshan now, only saw him in a positive light. She asked if he was willing to be with her?
