Rebirth of a Village Girl

Chapter 451: 129: The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind! _1

Li Tingzhi looked at Mo Baichuan and continued, “She’s pregnant.”

These four short words made Mo Baichuan flabbergasted.

There was a strange silence in the air.

After a while, Mo Baichuan finally raised his head, “What did you say?”

Li Tingzhi said word by word, “Your sister-in-law, she’s pregnant.”

Li Xianxian is pregnant?

Mo Baichuan could hardly believe his own ears.

He was the one who took Li Xianxian’s innocence, therefore, it was clear who the father of the child was.

How could this happen?

He thought that he and Li Xianxian would become strangers, but unexpectedly, Li Xianxian was actually pregnant.

No wonder Li Xianxian insisted on breaking up with him.

So she was holding this card all along.

Mo Baichuan’s expression became especially ugly.

“What does she want to do now? Wants me to marry her?” Mo Baichuan looked at Li Tingzhi, with blatant scorn in his eyes.

Li Tingzhi frowned, “Baichuan, what do you mean by this?”

Mo Baichuan’s face turned icy, “From the very beginning, was all of this a scheme by Li Xianxian?”

Li Tingzhi exploded in anger, “Mo Baichuan! Do you still have a conscience? Your sister-in-law has never thought about using the child to blackmail you! She wants to abort the child, and she is now in the hospital because the abortion procedure requires family consent. She has no friends or family in Beijing, so she had to find me! I was going to ask if you still wanted this child, because this is your first child! But now it seems that you are just heartless and ungrateful!”

Li Xianxian had given up so much for Mo Baichuan, but in return, she only received suspicion from him. Was it worth it?

“She wants to abort the child?” Mo Baichuan squinted his eyes.

The child is the only trump card Li Xianxian holds, would she really want to abort it?

Li Tingzhi tried to calm down, then continued, “Baichuan, I haven’t known your sister-in-law for a long time, but I know that she is a really good girl. The child was an accident, if she really wanted to use the child to blackmail you, she wouldn’t be in the hospital but she would go to your family, your grandparents. This would be their first great-grandchild, do you think they would neglect her?”

“But she didn’t, she didn’t want to cause you any more trouble, she just wanted to silently abort the child. She didn’t even have any family member around who could sign the consent forms, and yet she still had no complaints! But what about you? Instead of understanding her, you question her. Are you being fair to her?”

Mo Baichuan remained silent.

He was now unsure whether or not Li Xianxian was putting on an act.

Li Tingzhi no longer wasted words with Mo Baichuan and continued, “Your sister-in-law is at the private clinic on Wenan Road No. 69. Whether or not you want the child, it’s all up to you! As your brother, I have said all I need to say!”

After saying this, Li Tingzhi turned and walked away.

Mo Baichuan watched Li Tingzhi’s retreating figure, his eyes filled with mixed emotions.

He and Li Tingzhi had been brothers for over twenty years.

He knew well that Li Tingzhi was not the sort of man who couldn’t discern right from wrong.

Could it be that he was the one who was mistaken?

Mo Baichuan absently slumped into a chair, lighting a cigarette.

Li Tingzhi rushed to the hospital without delay.

Li Xianxian was sitting on a blue plastic chair, her face a bit pale.

“Sister-in-law.” Li Tingzhi managed to say these two words with difficulty.

“Tingzhi.” Li Xianxian lifted her head, looking behind Li Tingzhi.

Mo Baichuan hadn’t come, which was within Li Xianxian’s expectations.

Mo Baichuan was naturally suspicious, if he had followed Li Tingzhi here, it would have caused an issue instead.

Li Xianxian nodded, “I see.”

“I’m sorry.” Li Tingzhi looked full of regret. It was his fault. Li Xianxian had trust in him, and he had let her down.

“It’s okay.” Li Xianxian managed a bitter smile, “Perhaps, this is my fate.”

Fate?

She never believed in fate.

If she did, she wouldn’t have managed to leave the mountains in the first place.

She believed that after today, her fate would change for the better, bringing prosperity with it.

“This…”

Li Tingzhi wanted to continue, but Li Xianxian interrupted him, “Go and sign the papers.”

“Okay.” Li Tingzhi nodded and headed towards the doctor’s office to sign the paperwork, followed by Li Xianxian.

As he was about to sign, he hesitated, looking at Li Xianxian with a wish to say something.

The doctor said, “I have something to attend to, why don’t you two discuss a bit more?”

“Okay, thank you, doctor.” Li Tingzhi quickly expressed his thanks.
