Qiao Yiyi couldn’t contain herself any longer and shouted, “Second Brother, you put her on a pedestal but what’s so great about her? She is carrying someone else’s child! But I’m carrying your child inside me and he doesn’t even have a status! You don’t even dare to acknowledge the child in front of her. Second Brother, how could you lower yourself to this extent in front of her?”
Lu Nanze narrowed his eyes upon hearing this. He shot her a look so cold that her words froze mid-sentence.
He slowly said, “I recall that, when you insisted on having a child, I told you that I would not recognize him. So you can stop dreaming about it.”
On this note, he turned and walked back to his seat at the desk.
But Qiao Yiyi started to get anxious and continued, “But why? Second Brother, why wouldn’t you acknowledge this child, and would rather acknowledge that bastard in her stomach? But that is someone else’s child!”
“Shut up!” Lu Nanze raised his voice at her.
Hearing about that child being someone else’s stung him painfully.
Narrowing his eyes to look at her, he instructed, “Find some time to go to the hospital for an abortion.”
Qiao Yiyi paled at those words. “Second Brother, I—”
“Get out.”
“Second Brother—”
“Scram!”
Qiao Yiyi wanted to say more, but Lu Nanze’s expression was so hostile she left the office without daring to utter another word.
The moment she walked out, she started to cry uncontrollably.
How could Second Brother treat her this way?
In the last eight years, it was she, Qiao Yiyi, who had been by his side. It was she, Qiao Yiyi, who had spent the days and nights keeping him company. It was she, Qiao Yiyi, who was carrying his child.
But now, he placed more importance on someone else’s child over his own.
Clenching her fists, she thought, “No, I have to keep her baby.” This was her last chance with Second Brother.
When she thought this, she did not go back to the caster’s office. Instead, she walked out of the office building and hailed a cab to head home.
In all these years, the Qiao family residence had not changed, it had always been the little villa. Although the family was doing alright financially, they weren’t significantly better off compared to when they depended on the greater Qiao family.
Qiao Yiyi headed to the bedroom the moment she got home. Just at this point, she saw Mom Qiao and Qiao Zhigang walking out of their own bedroom.
Qiao Yiyi immediately ran up to them and grabbed Mom Qiao’s hand saying, “Mom, help me, please, I don’t know what to do now!”
On this note, she couldn’t hold back her emotions any longer and started crying aloud.
She cried so badly that Mom Qiao started panicking and asked, “What’s the matter? Speak up and tell us!”
Qiao Yiyi immediately said, “It’s all Qiao Lian’s fault! Mom, Second Brother wants me to abort my baby!!”
“What is it about that tr*mp that’s so good? He has his heart and mind fixated on her. Mom, what do I do now? I’ve suffered for so many years and thought that if I got pregnant, I’d have a chance, but who would’ve thought? Sob, sob, sob.”
Qiao Yiyi was crying with much grievance. Since she had gotten pregnant, she had thought she could finally be part of the Lu family, but this had led to an unexpected outcome now.
Seeing her daughter crying so sorrowfully, Mom Qiao started to cry as well.
The two women hugged each other and cried their hearts out. Finally, Qiao Yiyi lifted her head and looked at Qiao Zhigang, who was trying to contemplate the situation in a logical manner. “Dad, what are you thinking about? Hurry up and save my child!”
