Chapter 488: This Child Is Not Yours
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Although it was a light injury, it wasn’t in the right place. The impact of the car accident was extremely violent, and the windshield shattered. Xu Meixi and the bodyguards’ faces were inevitably injured. This was also the reason why they were covered in blood in the photo taken by the media. Some injuries were so deep that bones were visible, and it was inevitable that scars would be left behind in the future.
“Meixi’s car accident was either an accident or man-made. The police had already arrested Li Zhongjin, but he refused to admit it. A subordinate took the blame for him, and he was released!” Yin Shuhui was indignant.
“However, that subordinate wouldn’t have dared to attack Xu Meixi without Li Zhongjin’s instructions! It’s said that a vicious tiger will not eat its cubs. Who would have thought that he would be so ruthless that he would even kill his own child?” She said angrily,
“Li Zhongjin is a sc.u.mbag. He doesn’t deserve to be neither a father nor a human. If you ask me, it’s better if that child was gone so he wouldn’t suffer. However, I feel bad for Meixi.”
Sang Qianqian felt very uncomfortable. Li Zhongjin did not deserve to be a father, but Xu Meixi had never intended to let him be a father. She had said that her parents had pa.s.sed away when she was young and that she was living with her aunt and uncle. This child would be the closest person to her in this world. She did not want to abandon the child before it was born and kill her life.
“That’s too cruel.” In Xu Meixi’s heart, this child was just a simple little life. Where it came from was no longer important. The important thing was that she had included it in her future life plans. She had already made preparations and expectations for living with the child in the future.
Only Sang Qianqian knew how much love Xu Meixi had for the baby in her stomach during the few months she stayed with the Xie family. She clearly remembered how surprised Xu Meixi was when she felt the fetal movement for the first time.
For the sake of this child, even if she had strong morning sickness, she still endured the nausea and ate, afraid that the child would not be nourished enough. She had already prepared little clothes and all kinds of cute little toys for it, imagining all kinds of scenes after it was born… Now, there was nothing left. All of her expectations were gone. Li Zhongjin had ruined everything.
Sang Qianqian couldn’t imagine how desperate Xu Meixi would be at this moment…
Yin Shuhui thought of something and reminded her, “Qianqian, don’t go online for the next two days. Otherwise, you’ll be upset.”
“What?” Sang Qianqian was puzzled.
“Meixi was in Shi’an’s car when the accident happened. The media thought that something happened to you, and there was a huge commotion online.”
Speaking of this, Yin Shuhui was both amused and angry. “At that time, there were media reporters who happened to be at the scene. Although the scene was blocked, they were still far away and took a photo. I saw it with my own eyes, why are they just using a single picture and making up lies about the rest of the story?”
The source of all the media’s news was the photo of Xu Meixi being carried into the ambulance with her face covered in blood. The photo was blurry, and her face could not be seen clearly at all. However, the media was so sure that Sang Qianqian was seriously injured that she couldn’t even keep her child.
Some even started to a.n.a.lyze whether Xie Shi’an and Sang Qianqian would get a divorce because of the child. It really made people speechless. Sang Qianqian was speechless. “It’s indeed ridiculous.”
“Yeah, Shi’an didn’t even refute the rumors. If the media finds out that the injured person is Meixi, there might be some outrageous news.”
Yin Shuhui smiled and said, “In a few days, he will take you and the child back to the Xie family. All the rumors will be dispelled.”
Sang Qianqian was silent for a few seconds. “I don’t think there’s a need for me to return to the Xie family anymore.”
Shen Shaofeng had already escaped from danger, so there was no need for her to compromise and be manipulated by Ruan Xiaodie. Yin Shuhui was slightly startled, but she immediately understood something. She looked a little reluctant as she asked, “Are you really going to tell him now?”
“The child is already born. We can’t keep him in the dark anymore.” Sang Qianqian gently caressed the child’s swaddling clothes. “We’ll have to talk about this sooner or later. It’s better to tell him now than later.
“Say what?” Outside the door, Xie Shi’an strode in. He looked a little tired, but he was in high spirits. When he looked at Sang Qianqian and the child beside her, his eyes were gentle and happy.
“I’m going to see Meixi. You guys talk.”
Knowing that the two of them were about to talk business, Yin Shuhui quickly got up and found an excuse to run away. Xie Shi’an thought that they were talking about a topic between girls and didn’t ask further. Sang Qianqian had successfully woken up, and the huge rock in his heart had finally been lifted.
As long as she and the child were safe, nothing else mattered. “Qianqian, I’ve thought of a few names for the baby. When you’re feeling better, we’ll see which one is suitable.”
He sat down beside the bed, his face filled with a smile that came from the bottom of his heart. “If you don’t like any of them, I’ll think of something else.” Sang Qianqian knew that what she was about to say would be like a thunderbolt to Xie Shi’an, but she had no choice but to say it. “Shi’an, there’s something I think I should tell you today.”
She pursed her lips. “Actually, I didn’t go to look for you that night when you said you met me at the hospital.”
Xie Shi’an was a little confused. He didn’t understand what Sang Qianqian meant. “Qianqian, what are you trying to say?”
“That night, Zhen Yiping was seriously ill and entered the operating room. Old Lady Zhen was so agitated that she fainted. Later, after his surgery, I accompanied her back to the Zhen family’s residence.” Sang Qianqian finished what she wanted to say in one breath and looked up at him.
“Shi’an, do you understand what I mean? This child… He’s not yours.”
Xie Shi’an’s expression changed slightly. “How is that possible? I clearly remember that it was you that night.”
“Perhaps, there’s a deviation in your memory.” Sang Qianqian could not understand why he was so sure that it was her. “Shi’an, I don’t have to lie to you. There has never been anything between us. This child is indeed not yours.” She looked at the sleeping baby and said gently. “He’s my and Hanyu’s child. I was already pregnant when Hanyu went to the southwest for the Zhen family’s issues.”
Xie Shi’an couldn’t believe it. “But the DNA test report that day…”
“It’s fake. I asked Shuhui to help me fake it just to trick Hanyu and make him give up.” Sang Qianqian took a deep breath. “Shi’an, I know that you’ve misunderstood, but I’ve never told you or denied your misunderstanding. Before this, I was afraid that you wouldn’t help me save Shen Shaofeng, and I was even more afraid that Ruan Xiaodie would know that I’m pregnant with Hanyu’s child and harm the child.”
Therefore, she selfishly went along with her mistake. She waited until Shen Shaofeng was rescued and the child was successfully born before she dared to tell Xie Shi’an the truth..
