"What calculations do I have? I have no money, no ability. These years, I've risked my life for my daughter's health, only hoping she can be well. When the hospital told me I could only save her by having another child with her father, what could I do? I can't lose Mianmian! I can only save her my own way. Believe it or not, I just want to save my daughter." Jiang Mi was truly in pain and helpless. If it weren't for Mianmian, she wouldn't have wanted to appear before him again.
"Since you only want to save Mianmian, then our goal is the same. After we find a match, you will abort the child."
Jiang Mi suddenly collapsed onto the ground, not knowing what to say to him for a moment. She gently covered her abdomen, her heart aching immensely. Was she really going to kill her own child?
She couldn't understand why Jiang Jingxiu could be so heartless.
"From now on, you and your mother will live in the house I've arranged. Wait for me to find a match. You can see your daughter anytime you wish," Jiang Jingxiu said and turned to leave.
Jiang Mi reached out and grabbed the hem of his clothes, her knuckles turning white from the force. She looked at him, using the last of her strength to ask, "Can't... I keep him? After he's born, I can never see him again. I'll give the child to you, is that okay?"
She truly didn't want to kill her own child.
"Jiang Mi, are you trying to scheme against me? Do you want to marry me?" Jiang Jingxiu looked at the woman pitifully pleading before him with a cold expression. He dared not underestimate her, for she could have a child behind his back and conceive one now. He felt such a woman was too calculating.
"No, never. When I had Mianmian, I just wanted a companion. I was too lonely in this world. Now, I'm only pregnant to save Mianmian. I never thought of marrying you. I know I don't deserve it." Jiang Mi knew her actions would cause misunderstanding, but she truly hadn't thought that way.
"It's good that you know. You and I are impossible. Even with Mianmian, it's impossible!" Jiang Jingxiu said coldly.
Jiang Mi froze upon hearing this. Suddenly, she laughed, "What does your Jiang family owe me? Do you think Mianmian's health is poor because of what? It's because I exchanged my life for Jiang Tian's, which led to my poor health, and Mianmian was born with an illness. What right do your Jiang family members have to look down on me? Just because your family is rich? Jiang Jingxiu, what I, Jiang Mi, do, I do with a clear conscience. It is your Jiang family that has wronged me and Mianmian!"
After speaking, Jiang Mi sat on the ground, hugged her knees, buried her face, her body trembling. She didn't want to cry, but tears still poured out uncontrollably.
Jiang Jingxiu frowned, looking at her. He also knew that she had suffered many grievances in the Jiang family. He had been trying to compensate her before, not letting her live too miserably. However, subsequent events made it impossible for him to help her anymore.
...
The day of school arrived. The assistant took Shen Ziche back to Jing Shi. On the same day, Ye Wan took a day off and accompanied Shen Ziche to complete his enrollment procedures. Lin Zehan was busy and sent his assistant to help move things.
There were already three other boys in the dormitory. Shen Ziche was a transfer student, and with him, there were exactly four. Ye Wan and the assistant accompanied Shen Ziche into the dormitory. The three boys all looked over, and their eyes widened when they saw Ye Wan.
Shen Ziche frowned unhappily. The assistant stepped forward and greeted the three, asking them to take care of Shen Ziche in the future. The three boys all readily agreed.
