Chapter 324: Abortion
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Even if you don’t want to, you already owe me.” Yi Zheng crossed his legs smugly. He did not have the self-awareness of stealing someone else’s credit at all. He was showing off in front of Shi Mu.
Shi Man could not stand it anymore. Her intuition told her that the two of them were going to quarrel next. She quickly stood up and said, “Let’s go. Auntie Lu must be very worried about you now. Coincidentally, I’m hungry too.”
Yi Zheng followed her obediently. However, before he left, he did not forget to turn around and show off to Shi Mu. “Remember to repay me in the future, Fourth Young Master Shi.”
Shi Mu gritted his teeth in hatred. He turned his head away with a cold expression and sat back on the sofa angrily.
Only the two of them were left in the room.
Bai Xue approached Shi Mu timidly and personally brought him a cup of hot tea. “Brother Shi, did I cause you trouble again? I can tell that you and the man that Miss Shi brought here do not like each other. I’m really sorry for implicating you this time because of me.”
“Don’t say that.” Shi Mu took the teacup and placed it on the table in frustration. As his movements were a little too big, some hot water spilled out of the teacup.
The strong tea dripped down the edge of the table and landed on Bai Xue’s foot. She was so startled that she immediately retracted her foot and bent down in pain.
Shi Mu quickly helped her to the side and sat down. He knelt on one knee in front of her and lifted her leg to take a closer look.
Bai Xue lowered her head shyly. She was so nervous that her heart was beating like a drum. “Brother Shi, I’m fine. I was just startled just now.”
Shi Mu examined her carefully before he was relieved. He let go of her and walked back to the bedroom to get her coat. He handed it to her with an unnatural expression and said, “Put this on. I’ll take you to the hospital to see your mother now.”
Bai Xue looked up in surprise. When she saw the cold expression on his face, the joy from before faded a little. She subconsciously touched her stomach.
Shi Mu saw her actions and frowned. “You’re still young. If this child is born, it will only delay you. I’m doing this for your sake. Of course, if you want to give birth to him, I’ll definitely take responsibility.”
Bai Xue shook her head gently and tried hard to hold back the hot tears in her eyes. She smiled sadly and pitifully. “No, I hope that my child can grow up under the expectations of his parents and not become a burden to anyone. Brother Shi, you don’t have to blame yourself. This is my own decision. It has nothing to do with you.”
Shi Mu tensed up and stared at the prenatal report on the cabinet with a gloomy expression. He smiled guiltily and said, “You… You have to have someone to take care of you after the miscarriage. Why don’t you come to my house? I’ll get the nanny to take care of you. I’ll get a nurse to take care of your mother.”
Bai Xue touched her belly longingly. The mockery and abuse from her childhood were still vivid in her mind. She could not let the past resurface. She shook her head firmly and said, “No need, Brother Shi. Thank you for your kindness, but I can take care of myself. Let’s go.”
As she lay on the operating table, her expression was calm and strong, but only she knew how much pain she was in.
That night, when Shi Mu returned home, he was brought into the study by Shi Zhong.
Shen Xian paced anxiously outside the door. Finally, she could not take it anymore and pushed the door open. When she saw that the father and son were only sitting on the sofa drinking tea, she heaved a sigh of relief.
When Shi Zhong saw his wife enter, he quickly got up to make room for her. He hugged her dotingly and said, “Why are you in such a hurry to come in? Didn’t 1 promise you that I wouldn’t hit the child again?”
Shen Xian rolled her eyes at him and pushed his hand away so that he could sit properly. She smiled at her pale son and said, “Xiao Mu, you’ve suffered during this period of time. I heard from Manman that the child has been aborted. The girl’s mother is also in the hospital now. There’s no one to take care of her. Why don’t you let her stay at home?”
Shi Mu smiled bitterly and shook his head. “Mom, 1 asked her to come, but she rejected me.”
When Shi Zhong heard this, he was instantly angry. He expected better from his son and said angrily, “Then did you send a nurse over to take care of them?”
“I did…” Shi Mu lowered his eyes dejectedly and his voice gradually weakened. “But she also returned it.”
“Outrageous!” Shi Zhong slapped his thigh and said especially sternly.
Shi Mu suddenly raised his head and wanted to explain for Bai Xue, but he saw Shi Zhong pointing at his nose fiercely and saying, “I’m saying that you’re too outrageous. Little brat, are you not going to do anything if she doesn’t want anything from you? Do you have any sense of responsibility?”
Shi Mu heaved a sigh of relief and said aggrievedly, “1 don’t know what to do either. She refused to accept my kindness. I discussed it with her, and she said that it was not my fault and asked me not to be burdened. I really don’t know what to do.”
Shen Xian and Shi Zhong looked at each other and saw some helplessness in each other’s eyes.
This son of theirs was the most immature of the brothers, yet he was involved in such a matter. However, since Shi Mu could think of doing what he had just done, it was already considered a long-term consideration. They could not force him to do more.
Shen Xian decided to set an example and teach her son how to coax a girl. She said decisively, “Give me that girl’s contact information. I’ll talk to her personally..”
