Chapter 2187: Chapter 2180: The Stand-In Scapegoat
Seeing Wang Dadong, the middle-aged man finally let go of the girl’s hand and frowned, asking, "Are you Manhe’s boyfriend?"
Wang Dadong was taken aback by his words, not only looking at Mo Xiaoxiao. Wasn’t he supposed to be pretending to be her boyfriend? How did it become Manhe’s boyfriend?
Mo Xiaoxiao was constantly making eyes at Wang Dadong.
Wang Dadong had no choice but to say, "That’s right, I’m Manhe’s boyfriend."
The man, hearing this, didn’t say anything and turned around and left.
The remaining girl sat on the floor crying.
"Manhe, it’s okay, it’s okay." Mo Xiaoxiao helped the girl up.
"Xiaoxiao?" Wang Dadong kept making eyes at Mo Xiaoxiao, not knowing what was going on.
"I’ll tell you later." Mo Xiaoxiao gestured to Wang Dadong not to say anything.
Wang Dadong could only close his mouth.
Soon, the leaving middle-aged man returned.
He was holding a cleaver in his hand and was aggressively walking towards Wang Dadong.
"Hey, Xiaoxiao!" Wang Dadong sensed the murderous intent from the middle-aged man and tugged at Mo Xiaoxiao’s clothes.
Mo Xiaoxiao was busy comforting Chu Manhe at the time, so she ignored Wang Dadong.
Wang Dadong swallowed his saliva, hoping that the middle-aged man’s target wasn’t him...
However, while the imagination was beautiful, reality was cruel; the middle-aged man came directly at him.
"I’ll kill you, you bastard!"
Oh damn!
Wang Dadong was shocked and immediately turned around to run.
He cursed wildly in his mind, Mo Xiaoxiao, damn you!
"Stop, don’t run!"
"You little brat, don’t run, I’ll chop you up today for getting my daughter pregnant!"
"..."
The middle-aged man cursed while chasing.
What the hell... I don’t even know who your daughter is, how could I get her pregnant?
Wang Dadong wanted to cry but had no tears.
If he really had done such a thing, letting someone chop him a couple of times wouldn’t be a big deal, as he couldn’t be hacked that easily, but he hadn’t done anything, so he couldn’t just take a beating for nothing...
This middle-aged guy really had good stamina, chasing Wang Dadong through eight streets.
Fortunately, it was Wang Dadong; if it had been a city office worker who didn’t exercise much, they probably would have been caught long ago.
Damn it, he just wanted to help, but he never thought it would be a life-threatening situation.
Mo Xiaoxiao, damn you, I’ll settle the score with you later!
Wang Dadong realized he was born to be doomed.
After being chased for ten streets, Wang Dadong finally got rid of the middle-aged man.
An hour later, Wang Dadong met Mo Xiaoxiao.
There’s no politeness when enemies meet, especially when one’s eyes turn red.
"I’m sorry, don’t hit me, you promised me that you’d help me no matter what..." Mo Xiaoxiao put on a pitiful look.
Wang Dadong naturally wouldn’t really hit Mo Xiaoxiao.
He just said with frustration, "What the hell is going on?"
"Here’s the thing..." Mo Xiaoxiao explained the whole situation in detail.
Turns out, this girl was her good friend, named Chu Manhe.
She’s twenty-three this year, but she’s pregnant out of wedlock.
In the countryside, the consequences of having a child out of wedlock are very serious. People would scold you for being indiscreet, and even the parents would be implicated and gossiped about.
Unless they could find the child’s father and immediately hold a wedding, which would solve everything.
Although rural thinking is conservative, getting married because of a pregnancy isn’t a big deal.
But the problem was, Chu Manhe couldn’t name the father of the child...
So Chu Manhe’s parents, without another word, wanted her to get rid of the child.
But Chu Manhe insisted on having the child.
That’s why there was the scene today where Chu Manhe was forcibly dragged into the hospital by her father.
To get rid of the child in her belly.
Wang Dadong felt extremely uncomfortable hearing this. Pretending to be Chu Manhe’s boyfriend was one thing, but he couldn’t actually marry her, could he?
He’s not a sucker...
"Don’t worry, I won’t make you marry Manhe. It’s just to stop the rumors. After all, you’ve seen how those people talked about Manhe." Mo Xiaoxiao seemed to know what Wang Dadong was thinking and spoke up.
Wang Dadong indeed heard the unpleasant things said by the onlookers at the hospital entrance.
Words like shameless and nasty.
For her parents, having their daughter insulted like that was naturally humiliating.
"I’m not worried about that. It’s just that if she can’t find the father of the child, or if the father doesn’t want to support the child, and she insists on having it, I’m afraid..." Wang Dadong frowned.
Any big problem would eventually fade away, as long as Chu Manhe got rid of the child and she didn’t live in the countryside; over time, people would forget.
But if she insisted on having the child, it would be troublesome.
Being a single mom is tough enough, not to mention, not only would Chu Manhe be insulted, but her child would also be called a bastard.
Growing up without a father and being called a bastard is a cruel thing for a child.
In truth, Wang Dadong also didn’t want to harm life, but if Chu Manhe had this child, the consequences would be very serious.
"Sigh, I don’t know what Manhe is thinking. No matter how much I try to persuade her, she insists on having the child..." Mo Xiaoxiao was also deeply troubled.
The reason she had dark circles under her eyes these days was because of Chu Manhe’s situation.
It was clear that Mo Xiaoxiao was a very loyal girl.
Before, for Zhou Hui, she had Wang Dadong ruin a wedding, and this time she dragged Wang Dadong into playing the sucker for her little friend.
Indeed, Wang Dadong was essentially a sucker now.
"Let’s try to talk some sense into her later." Wang Dadong shook his head helplessly.
He wondered what women were thinking, clearly the man didn’t want her, yet she insisted on having the child.
"Um, I have another favor to ask you..." Mo Xiaoxiao bit her lip and said softly.
"Oh come on, you don’t really want me to be the sucker, right?" Wang Dadong glared.
"No, I just want you to help persuade Manhe that she really can’t have this child." Mo Xiaoxiao said.
"If you can’t persuade her, how can I?" Wang Dadong was speechless; it’s not like he was all-powerful.
"Wang Dadong, I know you’re a good person. Please help Manhe, she’s my good friend, and I really don’t want her life to be affected by this..." Mo Xiaoxiao pleaded.
Wang Dadong really didn’t want to get involved in this mess.
But he couldn’t resist Mo Xiaoxiao’s persistent pleading.
He finally nodded and said, "Alright, I’ll give it a try."
"Great, thank you." Mo Xiaoxiao was delighted that Wang Dadong agreed.
"But first, you have to do one thing." Mo Xiaoxiao’s expression suddenly changed as she spoke to Wang Dadong.
