"Yu Meng, all these hospitals are garbage, their doctors know nothing..."
At this moment, Mu Linjing seemed like a child needing parental support, trying to hide an undeniable fact by being unreasonable.
Although Wei Yu Meng felt distressed, she could only endure and bring her back to her senses.
She took the pregnancy test report to Mu Linjing and told her word by word, "Miss Qiao is pregnant. Lin Jing, this result is not wrong. This is a check-up result from the best hospital. She's pregnant."
Holding the pregnancy test report, she peeled away layer by layer the illusion Mu Linjing had created for herself, forcing her to face this reality.
With red eyes, Mu Linjing refused to admit it, "I don't believe it!"
Just then, the second test result arrived, and it was also positive.
This seemed like the last straw that broke the camel's back, causing Mu Linjing to break down. She tore up the pregnancy test report and shed tears uncontrollably.
Knowing that her emotions needed to be vented, Wei Yu Meng coaxed and dragged her, taking both her and Qiao Ningzhi back to her home.
Zhan Yichen's car followed closely. At home, Mu Linjing sat alone by the window, ignoring everyone.
Zhan Yichen and Qiao Ningzhi also sat far away, afraid that any misstep would prick Mu Linjing's sensitivity.
After a long silence, Qiao Ningzhi spoke first, "This child cannot be kept. I came to you because I want to abort this child."
Everyone was a little surprised. They all thought Qiao Ningzhi was here to demand an explanation for the child.
Although they all considered Qiao Ningzhi a clear-headed and ambitious woman, a woman, once she becomes a mother, will prioritize her child.
To give the child a complete family, if she had requested the Zhan family to fulfill their previous promise, the Zhan family would not have been able to refuse.
But they did not expect her to go against the grain and want to abort the child.
"Why?"
Qiao Ningzhi smiled upon hearing this, "I don't want to be a single mother, letting my child be born without a father. But I even less want my child to be born into a family that is only in name. Zhan Yichen, you ask yourself, even if you marry me, can your heart be in this home?"
She hit the nail on the head, having already seen through it. Zhan Yichen's heart would never belong to anyone else.
Since that was the case, why should she let her child suffer with her from birth?
"Are you sure you've thought it through?"
Zhan Yichen shamelessly felt a sense of relief. This child seemed like a troublesome burden to him.
But if he really had to abort it, his conscience would not be at peace.
The ugliness of human nature was exposed at this moment. He did not want to be a selfish father, yet he had to admit that Qiao Ningzhi's words had struck the core of the issue.
But he was the one at fault. He could not righteously say that he did not want this child that caused him so much difficulty.
Qiao Ningzhi seemed to have done the hardest thing for him. Thinking of this, he hesitated again.
"How about... let's not abort it then?"
On one hand, it was his conscience; on the other hand, it was the selfishness hidden in his bones. Whichever side he leaned towards could affect the destinies of them all.
In his struggle, he didn't know how he had ended up at the hospital.
Qiao Ningzhi was queuing at the front, and he was behind the line, scratching his ears and cheeks, with an urge to rush forward and take Qiao Ningzhi away.
As a human being, how could he be so irresponsible? Even if he was manipulated, at the end of the day, this was his mother's doing. Why should an innocent mother and child bear the consequences?
But if he didn't abort the child, he would have to marry Qiao Ningzhi. Thinking of this, his mind was filled with the image of Mu Linjing crying.
He didn't know when Wei Yu Meng had pulled him into the examination room. The doctor's words, "You cannot abort it," immediately jolted him awake.
He went to the doctor and asked eagerly, "Doctor, is there something wrong with the child?"
The doctor pointed to the blood type column on the case file, "The pregnant woman has Rh-negative blood, a 'panda blood' type. It is not recommended for mothers with 'panda blood' to abort their first child, unless you no longer want any children in the future."
Not being able to have more children was the greatest punishment for a woman. At this, all three of them were stunned.
"After the first pregnancy, mothers with 'panda blood' are very likely to experience hemolytic disease in subsequent pregnancies. Therefore, for the first pregnancy, unless absolutely necessary, hospitals do not recommend aborting the child."
The doctor explained the pathology and consequences clearly, leaving them to consider.
Aborting the child was out of the question for now. Wei Yu Meng suggested, "Since we're here anyway, let's do a check-up first. We can discuss other matters later."
She knew that this child was most likely not going to be aborted. Since abortion was not an option, they should focus on maintaining the pregnancy. It was Qiao Ningzhi's first pregnancy, so a check-up was always a good idea.
As everything was normal for both the pregnant woman and the child, she directly sent Qiao Ningzhi home. As for Zhan Yichen, he didn't know how to face Mu Linjing, so he also fled.
This sudden turn of events had caught him off guard. He owed both these women, yet he could not compensate them simultaneously.
After sending Qiao Ningzhi home, Wei Yu Meng returned to the hospital. The timing was just right.
After receiving a report from the doctor and looking at the results, she immediately stepped on the gas and drove home. Mu Linjing was still mourning in sadness at home.
She curled up in a corner, as if hugging herself would make her feel warmer.
Seeing her like this, Wei Yu Meng couldn't help but sigh and stepped forward to pull her up.
Seeing Wei Yu Meng, she perked up slightly, "Is the child aborted?"
She was waiting for this result, yet she didn't know which outcome she hoped for. Like Zhan Yichen, as a direct party involved in this matter, good and evil were locked in a struggle, with neither side winning.
She wished so much that Zhan Yichen would let Qiao Ningzhi abort this child. But would such an irresponsible Zhan Yichen still be the man in her heart?
Wei Yu Meng stood with her hands behind her back, "The child was not aborted, because Miss Qiao's body is not suitable for abortion. Otherwise, it's very possible she won't be able to get pregnant again."
Mu Linjing knew what that meant, but she couldn't help but lower her head and said stubbornly, "That's quite good then..."
Wei Yu Meng reached out and touched her head, then shook the paper in her hand at her. "But I have another piece of news to tell you. You will definitely think it's a surprise when you hear it."
Mu Linjing gave a bitter smile. She didn't think there was anything that could be considered a surprise for her now.
She and Zhan Yichen were ultimately fated to be apart. Even though she had summoned the courage to embrace him, there were always obstacles between them.
Seeing her dispirited expression, she didn't even look at the paper. Wei Yu Meng directly stuffed it into her hands.
Upon seeing the contents of the paper, Mu Linjing's brow unfurrowed, her eyes widened, and she was speechless.
