Chapter 1258: Chapter 1258: Did You Hear That?
"Who said this child doesn’t have a father? Her father is Uncle Xiaobao." Ziyi retorted defiantly, "He will definitely come back."
Liu Minjun gave her a stern look, full of frustration: "You can’t even get in touch with him. Where does your confidence come from?"
Ziyi bit her lip, her eyes reddening slightly.
She murmured, "I just know."
Liu Minjun was so angry that she was speechless.
She didn’t know if this girl was too naive, or if Pei Yuanchen had filled her with some toxic love potion.
"Ziyi, you have no idea of the risks involved!" Liu Minjun rubbed her temples, "Have you thought about it? If Pei Yuanchen never comes back, how are you going to find another husband with a child? Of course, with your status, you’ll surely have no trouble getting married, but with a child, your options become much more limited! Plus, your father is very stubborn; he cares so much about reputation..."
Liu Minjun felt a splitting headache.
Most importantly, He Yirong already knows Ziyi is not his biological daughter. Although he treats Ziyi almost the same as before, Liu Minjun knows in her heart that no matter how magnanimous He Yirong is, he can’t truly be the same as before.
For instance, if Ziyi were pregnant out of wedlock in the past, He Yirong would have found ways to cover it up and would have tried to find a suitable husband for her before she gave birth. But now, He Yirong is highly likely to make her terminate the pregnancy to settle things once and for all.
"Mom, I will take care of this baby, I won’t cause you any trouble." Tears welled up in Ziyi’s eyes, "I will support her."
Liu Minjun let out a long sigh, feeling both heartache and helplessness.
"Ziyi." Liu Minjun grasped her wrist, "What worries me is that your father may not allow you to keep this child..."
Ziyi shuddered slightly.
"No." She bit her lip, her voice trembling yet exceptionally firm, "Mom, I must keep this baby!"
Liu Minjun sighed again.
She knew Ziyi loved children very much.
Perhaps because of too much loneliness growing up, Ziyi not only liked children but was also good at playing with them. She liked her nieces and nephews very much and had always looked forward to becoming a mother herself one day.
So how could Liu Minjun bear to ask her to get rid of this child?
But thinking about the various troubles that might arise from keeping the child, Liu Minjun felt an intense heartache.
In the end, she could only place all her resentment on Pei Yuanchen.
That bastard!
"Ziyi, calm down." She softened her tone, "Of course, Mom won’t force you, but about this matter... I’ll call your brother and sister-in-law, let them help figure out a way."
If Jingyao also firmly stands by Ziyi, then He Yirong might ultimately concede.
Otherwise, even if the child is kept, it would only result in household unrest.
Ziyi choked and nodded: "Mom, don’t kill this baby..."
Liu Minjun felt a stab in her heart, and hugged her: "Don’t be afraid."
...
Liu Minjun took Ziyi out of her room, intending to take her to the hospital for confirmation first.
Unexpectedly, as they opened the door, they saw Jin Baiyan standing outside.
Liu Minjun was startled.
"Auntie, I’m sorry," Jin Baiyan said apologetically, "I was worried about Ziyi, so I..."
"Did you hear everything?" Liu Minjun’s face changed dramatically.
Jin Baiyan nodded slightly, glancing at Ziyi, who was carefully placing her hands on her abdomen, treasuring it greatly.
