Chapter 710: Chapter 716: How Could She Bear to Abort Their Child?
"Your dad?" Shang Dongyuan raised an eyebrow. He hadn’t even started questioning her identity, and she already came clean?
With this connection made clear, Shang Dongyuan continued, "Chuchu is your daughter?"
"..." Chu Xiaoge thought he already knew. Otherwise, why would he be helping her and constantly asking about Chuchu’s identity?
"Yes. Chuchu is my daughter, but she has nothing to do with you!" Chu Xiaoge hurriedly clarified everything, not wanting to get entangled with Shang Dongyuan any further.
The bold and naive love of her youth had ultimately condemned her to repay it over five years, if not a lifetime.
"Of course, your daughter has nothing to do with me." Shang Dongyuan glanced indifferently at Chu Xiaoge, casually reminding her, "Do you know your two friends have used nearly all their connections to find you? Who would’ve thought you hid away to have a child?"
Ran Xiangsi and Murong Jialan had been searching for Chu Xiaoge for all these five years, a fact Shang Dongyuan had heard numerous times.
He himself had also been searching for Chu Nian for five years. He understood well the anxiety of never finding someone.
"They... are looking for me?" Chu Xiaoge stared at Shang Dongyuan in bewilderment, shocked by this news.
Five years ago, upon learning of her pregnancy, the young and inexperienced Chu Xiaoge was utterly terrified and lost, completely clueless about what to do...
She had considered seeking help from friends, but at that time, she couldn’t get in touch with either Xiangsi or Alan.
She had no choice but to quietly return home. No matter what her parents asked, she said nothing, until finally, her mother found out...
Her father’s loud insults, the sharp slap, and her mother’s relentless crying completely shattered her thoughts.
In the end, her father said she should abort the child, and everything could start anew.
But she refused; she couldn’t bear to...
On one hand, she truly cherished the little life inside her; on the other hand, it was because she loved Shang Dongyuan!
At that time, she loved him so much... How could she bear to abort their child?
So, in her youthful recklessness, to keep the baby, she resolutely chose to run away from home.
She lived independently, raised Chuchu by herself, and she did it!
"Don’t tell me you didn’t know?" Shang Dongyuan sneered, suddenly curious. This woman had disappeared for five years just to have a child?
Ran Xiangsi and Alan were the two friends Chu Xiaoge cherished most in her life. Their friendship was beyond the reach of outsiders’ scorn.
Chu Xiaoge was instantly enraged by Shang Dongyuan’s tone. She took a deep breath, avoided mentioning her friends, and returned to the previous topic.
"Are you even listening to me? I’ll find a way to handle that money, I don’t need your help! The hospital fees are non-refundable. How much you used, I will pay you back every penny!"
The most important reason for coming today was to cut ties and sort out the money issues!
Shang Dongyuan also sat down on a nearby sofa, his long legs crossed, one hand resting on the side of the sofa, tapping slowly.
He squinted and looked Chu Xiaoge up and down, assessing her outfit.
"If it weren’t for that suit you’re wearing, worth no less than ten thousand, I would’ve thought you were a responsible and proud girl. But... wearing a suit worth over ten thousand, you don’t have the money to pay for your father’s surgery? Chu Xiaoge, should I consider you a gold digger?"
