Seeing the faint blood seeping from the hem of her trousers.
Wu Qian's stomach ached, but her heart hurt even more!
Tears flowed like a broken dam, overwhelming her.
Every woman dreams of becoming a mother.
Perhaps in the past, she hadn't cared much, otherwise, she wouldn't have been so reckless, having had so many abortions.
But when the doctor told her, "Take good care of the child in your womb, this might be your last pregnancy,"
Wu Qian decided she would protect the child at all costs!
The reason she chose Li Menghao to be a father-to-be was twofold.
On one hand, it was naturally for the five million yuan the Li family offered. A devoted suitor who would obey her every whim and had five million yuan was worth giving a chance to become a father.
On the other hand, the doctor had indeed told her this was her last chance to be a mother.
That's why she decided to settle down and agreed to marry Li Menghao.
It would be best if he didn't find out the child wasn't his. Even if he did, she would have already taken the money, so she wouldn't lose out either way.
"Menghao... Menghao!"
Watching the Lafar pulling away into the distance outside the window, vaguely seeing the figure of a woman beside Li Menghao.
Wu Qian's pupils gradually became unfocused, and for the first time, she felt a sense of despair.
She would never have the chance to be a mother again in this lifetime.
After this incident, she would surely be socially ruined.
The only ones who might accept her would be the worst among the rejects.
As if in a final burst of clarity, memories of her interactions with Li Menghao over the years flashed before her eyes.
For years, Li Menghao had acted like a devoted grandson, letting her dictate terms.
She could take the money Li Menghao gave her and freely check into hotels with other men.
She could travel miles for a little bit of favor, only to never let Li Menghao touch her.
Only when she became pregnant did she sleep with Li Menghao for the first time.
Like any other girl, she loved branded bags and wanted designer items. She could take all of Li Menghao's salary and spend it without any hesitation.
She even used his credit card. Even if Li Menghao was unwilling, as long as she frowned, he would immediately obey.
Even the eighty-eight thousand yuan betrothal gift, the forty thousand yuan for changing names, and the nearly ten thousand yuan "entering the door" red packet.
Others called it outrageous.
Even Wu Qian herself felt that
these conditions were unbelievably absurd, outlandishly excessive.
Yet, when she merely showed a hint of difficulty, he would immediately agree to give her money...
Everything, like smoke, vanished.
And this man who had once doted on her now completely belonged to another woman.
He even couldn't help but glance back at her...
After realizing all this, Wu Qian's despair deepened.
Did she regret it?
Yes, she regretted it.
However, if it weren't for Ye Yun's involvement, she wouldn't have felt this heartbroken. At most, she would have sighed about losing a long-term source of income.
Never mind.
Let this life be over.
In the next life, she would be a good woman.
As despair completely consumed her, a hint of suicidal intent began to emerge on Wu Qian's face...
On the other side.
"Holy crap! Is Brother Ye's brother-in-law a bit foolish!"
Lin Shiyou exclaimed in shock after hearing the story Ye Yun told him.
Song Yunfan and the others beside him also had their eyes wide open, clearly surprised by Ye Yun's story.
Eighty-eight thousand yuan for a betrothal gift, sixty thousand yuan for changing names, an eight thousand eight hundred yuan red packet for entering the door...
Holy cow!
Although they didn't care about this amount of money, in their circles, numbers ten times more exaggerated were not uncommon.
But in their circles, it was called a strong alliance!
The bride's family's strength was not inferior to the groom's.
Even if there was a slight disparity, it was considered to be from the same starting line.
But it was definitely not like Li Menghao coming to offer aid to the impoverished!
They were rich, but certainly not foolish.
"Get lost! How can anyone be as foolish as you?" Ye Yun directly raised his hand and hit Lin Shiyou on the head.
It was the brother-in-law's big day, and this guy was calling him foolish. He truly lacked foresight.
"Ouch, ouch... Brother Ye, I'm not foolish..." Lin Shiyou rubbed his head, feeling wronged.
"You still say you're not foolish? You took it upon yourself to change the engagement hotel to Tianxiang Mansion. When the parents from both sides arrive, have you made the necessary arrangements there?" Ye Yun asked.
"What arrangements? Isn't an engagement just a meal? And Tianxiang Mansion has everything, very complete!" Lin Shiyou looked bewildered.
"You still don't believe me when I call you foolish? Jinling customs require two pig trotters, four live bighead carp, cigarettes, alcohol, and wedding candies for an engagement. Are you sure your establishment has these items?" Ye Yun retorted.
"Uh... I'll have them get them right away!"
Lin Shiyou realized the situation and immediately made a phone call.
As for the others, they shook their heads and chuckled, striking up conversations with Ye Yun.
After all, Lin Dashao had taken on the most troublesome task.
Seeing a group of influential figures from Jinling surrounding Ye Yun as if he were a star.
Wu Lan and her husband still felt like they were dreaming.
Even through the pain in their arms, they could clearly confirm that this was not a dream, nor had they mistaken anyone!
It was real!
Everything was real!
Then... seeing Ye Yun's yellow "War God" Urus.
And seeing Ye Keke standing there now.
Especially the conspicuous little golden pig in the latter's hand, a hint of greed flickered in the depths of Wu Lan's pupils.
Ahem!
Slightly adjusting her facial expression to appear kind and amiable, Wu Lan said, "Keke, come, Grandma hug you~"
Her expression was like that of the Big Bad Wolf in fairy tales deceiving Little Red Riding Hood.
In reality, Wu Lan's gaze was fixed on the little golden pig.
"No! Grandma is bad!" Ye Keke turned her head away.
The little girl hadn't forgotten how she and her mother were unceremoniously kicked out by Wu Lan last time.
"What's wrong, little girl? Are you angry? Good girl, Grandma will buy you candy later!"
If this were in the past, if Ke Ke dared to speak to her like this, she would have pointed at the little girl's nose and cursed her as a bastard and a good-for-nothing.
But today, even if given ten more guts, she wouldn't dare.
"I don't want it. Last time Grandma said she'd poison me with rat poison. I'm afraid to eat Grandma's candy! Grandpa and Grandma scolded me and Mom and kicked us out. Mom cried last time! Grandma is bad, Grandma is bad!" Ke Ke pouted.
Unintentional words, but they struck a chord.
The child's innocent words immediately drew the attention of those around.
One by one, they couldn't help but look at Wu Lan and her husband, their eyes filled with undisguised contempt.
How could grandparents say such things to a little girl, and now, seeing them become successful, shamelessly try to get close.
Where in the world could there be such a good thing?
The gazes made Wu Lan and her husband feel as if they were being pricked by needles.
Who the hell knew that the formerly poor son-in-law would transform into someone they could no longer afford to associate with?
Even a little bit left between their fingers could raise their living standards significantly.
Listen to what the son-in-law said, casually offering tens of millions in dowry and a million-yuan annual salary for their son.
With one phone call, over twenty luxury cars arrived, all belonging to prominent figures in Jinling, and these people were all exceptionally polite to Ye Yun.
Such an impressive person, the elderly couple had never even heard of him before, let alone known him!
Of course, they had to latch onto this big shot!
