She leaned back on the sofa leisurely, taking off the bracelet on her wrist and placing it in her palm. "Cooperate with me, and you'll get everything you want."
This bracelet was a limited edition she had bought a couple of days ago. Just by looking at how Wei Jin's eyes lit up when she saw the bracelet, she knew she couldn't possibly be refused.
Wei Jin held the bracelet, unable to put it down. It was a bracelet she had wanted for a long time. She had originally planned to trick Chen Mo and Old Zhang out of some money to buy it, but now both her benefactors were gone, and the culprit behind it all was Wei Yumeng.
Thinking of this, she directly said to Jiang Siyu, "I can help you, but I'm not free."
Jiang Siyu was very generous. She took out a card from her bag. "There's five hundred thousand here, as a deposit. I want you to get rid of the child in her belly. After it's done, I'll give you another one million five hundred thousand."
Hearing this amount, Wei Jin agreed without hesitation. Given her current situation, five hundred thousand was her lifeline.
The two hit it off immediately. After exchanging contact information, Jiang Siyu left.
Wei Jin held the card, and the pain in her body seemed to lessen, as if she had already imagined how she would spend the remaining one million five hundred thousand.
Wei Yumeng, don't blame me for being heartless. You can only blame yourself for making too many enemies. You never deserved a man as excellent as Zhan Mohan in the first place, so it's only natural that someone who wants you can't have peace.
Wei Yumeng, who was eating Zhan Mohan's crookedly made dumplings at home, suddenly sneezed uncontrollably.
Rubbing her sore nose, she stuffed the last dumpling into her mouth. "Delicious."
She was as content as a little cat that had eaten meat, her mouth bulging, her eyes curved. Zhan Mohan rubbed the corners of her lips, momentarily mesmerized.
He hadn't seen Wei Yumeng smile like this in a long time. He almost forgot that she was an easily satisfied person, happy with a simple dinner.
Wei Yumeng wiped the corner of her lips contentedly. "I'll do the dishes."
She stood up and realized her hand was tightly held by Zhan Mohan. She couldn't help but laugh, "Let go, what are you doing?"
"Go rest. I'll clean up."
As Zhan Mohan spoke, he began to tidy up. Wei Yumeng didn't stand on ceremony and followed him closely, going in and out of the kitchen, nearly bumping into him several times.
"Go rest. Why are you following me?"
She tilted her head and said, "I ate too much. I'm just walking around to aid digestion."
Zhan Mohan had no choice but to let her follow.
By the time everything was cleaned up, she had finished her stroll. Remembering the luggage she had brought back from the hotel yesterday hadn't been unpacked yet, she went to the bedroom to busy herself with it.
While Zhan Mohan was helping her unpack, he saw her previous pregnancy test report. "Tomorrow, I'll accompany you for your prenatal check-up."
If he hadn't mentioned it, Wei Yumeng would have forgotten. However, she heard that there was a big project at the company recently, and she didn't want Zhan Mohan to delay his work for her, so she refused.
"It's just a prenatal check-up, I can go by myself. Isn't the company busy? You focus on your work."
But Zhan Mohan was not pleased. He wanted to accompany Wei Yumeng through every stage of her pregnancy, every examination. Every opportunity he had missed before was an irreparable regret to him.
He insisted, so they compromised. He would handle his work as quickly as possible and try his best to make it to Wei Yumeng's appointment.
The next day, they set off separately. Wei Yumeng had booked an appointment and was waiting for her number to be called.
Coincidentally, Wei Jin, whose face was swollen like a pig's head from being beaten yesterday, also came to the hospital for an examination. She had an IV drip for anti-inflammation and swelling for the entire morning. The first thing she did after the needle was removed was rush to the restroom.
However, the hospital was crowded, and the restrooms were full. The nurse told her to check the obstetrics and gynecology department downstairs. That's when she saw Wei Yumeng sitting on a bench.
She was heavily wrapped, so Wei Yumeng didn't see her, but she instinctively touched the five hundred thousand yuan card in her bag.
The opportunity to get the remaining payment was right in front of her, so she naturally wouldn't let it go. She immediately called Jiang Siyu.
With Jiang Siyu's secret arrangements and plan, all she had to do was follow the instructions.
Wei Yumeng waited for Zhan Mohan to arrive, but her number was called. She had to go in by herself.
After sitting down, she saw that the doctor in front of her was not the one she had booked. She looked at her form and stood up. "Excuse me, I might have booked the wrong appointment."
The doctor cleared his throat. "The director is indisposed today and asked me to fill in for him for a day. Don't worry, just lie down. Our hospital's doctors are all very professional. Don't delay, there are many people behind you."
Seeing that many people in front of her were examined this way, Wei Yumeng didn't think much of it and lay down on the examination bed.
Several times, she felt the doctor was too forceful, making her very uncomfortable. Fortunately, it didn't take long to finish the examination.
After getting her report, the doctor simply said, "The baby is developing normally. Wait outside for the lab results."
Emerging from the examination room, she felt a sense of being brushed off, and ultimately, being rushed out. The doctor's attitude today was not good, and the examination was perfunctory. If there were any problems, they wouldn't be detected like this.
She had planned to ask Zhan Mohan to take her to another hospital to check again. But before Zhan Mohan arrived, the lab results came first.
When Zhan Mohan arrived, he saw her sitting on the bench, lost and appearing as fragile as a porcelain doll.
So he gently cupped her face, afraid of startling her. It was only then that he realized tears were welling up in her eyes, and they burst forth when she saw him.
Wei Yumeng buried her face in Zhan Mohan's embrace, her sobs following, which broke Zhan Mohan's heart.
"Yumeng, what happened? Don't be afraid, tell me."
Wei Yumeng said nothing, her cries drowning out everything else.
Zhan Mohan patted her shoulder and took the lab report from her hand. Seeing the results, he was also taken aback.
He had intended to calm Wei Yumeng's emotions first, but soon a young nurse ran over. "Excuse me, are you Wei Yumeng's family member?"
Zhan Mohan nodded. The nurse immediately said, "Please admit the patient to the hospital immediately. Her condition is very dangerous."
Zhan Mohan had heard of this symptom during pregnancy, where the fetus excessively draws nutrients from the mother, leading to a very high mortality rate for the mother during childbirth.
So he immediately completed the hospitalization procedures for Wei Yumeng. Lying on the hospital bed, Wei Yumeng's mood was low.
She had also seen such illnesses. The only way to save herself was to abort the child.
But she had been nurturing this child for so long. If she were to abort the child, what kind of selfish mother would she be?
Zhan Mohan was making a phone call outside. Through the glass of the door, he saw the expression on her face and felt a dull ache in his heart.
But the most pressing matter was to clarify the situation with Wei Yumeng.
He hung up the phone and went to the bedside, saying softly, "Yumeng, we can have children in the future."
This one sentence clearly indicated his stance on the matter.
That's right, his choice was to save the mother.
He had also consulted experts abroad. The survival rate for the mother with this condition was almost zero, and the longer it was delayed, the more detrimental it would be to the mother.
So he made a decisive move to terminate the pregnancy. The child could be had again, or even given up, but in this world, there was only one Wei Yumeng.
Hearing his words, Wei Yumeng's tears flowed uncontrollably. She tightly grasped his hand, "Is there really no other way?"
"No." He shook his head firmly. He could lose everything, but he couldn't lose Wei Yumeng.
Wei Yumeng looked at him, one hand tightly covering her stomach. "How is that possible? The child is in my belly, and we are both fine. How could I have this illness?"
Knowing how hard it was for her to accept, Zhan Mohan felt the same. But this illness wouldn't wait; another day of delay meant another day of danger.
"Can we go to another hospital to check? Maybe they made a mistake."
Wei Yumeng still didn't believe him. Seeing her obstinacy, Zhan Mohan could only agree. "I'll have Fang Xun make arrangements."
As soon as he finished speaking, a doctor in a white coat suddenly burst in through the door.
