Chapter 914: Chapter 918: Light of Life (17)
"Ah Lee, please don’t be angry, it was my fault, I shouldn’t have ignored you..." Gao Qianyu cried sorrowfully.
Her tears fell and soaked the floor in front of her, and there was no comforting voice from her husband, let alone the warm embrace she longed for.
Su Li was always curious about this person’s thought process, and now that there was an opportunity, he directly asked.
"I want to ask, why did you choose to keep the child?"
Gao Qianyu seemed to have heard something unbelievable, her eyes filled with unease and confusion.
She choked and stammered, "Ah Lee, you’ve always been such a kind man, why would you ask that?"
"No matter what, the child is innocent."
Su Li: "..." Silly sister, that’s not how kindness works.
The onlookers, whose thinking was still within the realm of normality, reacted as if they had been struck by lightning.
Even if one tried to restrain their peculiar gaze from being directed at Gao Qianyu, an uncontrolled mind couldn’t stop their eyes from glancing over.
Su Li: "Have you never thought that I could never accept the existence of this child?"
Gao Qianyu: "No, you wouldn’t...you are always the one who cares about me the most...."
"Yes, it’s true that I care about you, but it’s also true that I can’t accept it. The two aren’t mutually exclusive."
Su Li gave Gao Qianyu two choices directly, "Send the child for adoption, and between us, let’s pretend nothing ever happened, just like before."
Before Su Li could finish speaking, Gao Qianyu became agitated and snatched the child from He Li’s arms, hugging it tightly, "No, I can’t, I will never abandon my own child."
At this moment, Su Li was actually quite impressed with her.
Not every mother, when facing a crisis, can choose to keep their child close and refuse to give up.
Although she caused her own predicament, this kind of courage is not something everyone possesses.
Su Li nodded regretfully and said, "Alright, in that case, we can only go our separate ways."
Gao Qianyu wiped her tears and stared in disbelief, "What are you saying?"
"You can’t do this." Gao Qianyu shrieked loudly.
Su Li raised an eyebrow and waved his hand, "This won’t do, that won’t do, what do you suggest then?"
Gao Qianyu staggered forward holding the child and hurriedly approached Su Li, trying to push the baby into Su Li’s arms.
"Look at the baby, isn’t she adorable? You said before that you wanted to be a dad, now it’s come true, let’s live as a family of three, happily, won’t you?"
This was demanding too much, Liu Zhang couldn’t hold back anymore and jumped out, "Even if Brother Su wants to be a dad, it should be his biological child...."
Gao Qianyu, with swollen eyes, looked over pitifully, "Does it make a difference? Little Baby is my child too...."
After speaking, Gao Qianyu turned to look at Su Li, "You said you loved me the most, you’d love me for a lifetime."
"I don’t want you to love me like that anymore, just give a bit of that love to Little Baby, that’ll be enough...."
Su Li stared at Gao Qianyu, suddenly bursting into laughter, "Hahaha...."
This laughter made Gao Qianyu forget to cry, and everyone else was extremely worried.
Instantly, they all glared at Gao Qianyu with anger.
This was too much to handle, could he have been driven mad?
After laughing enough, Su Li’s face fell and he pulled a wry smile, leaning close to Gao Qianyu’s ear, "Do you really not understand, or are you pretending not to?"
"Hmm?"
After appreciating Gao Qianyu’s pale face, Su Li stepped back two paces, putting distance between them, "You also gave birth to someone else’s child, we haven’t even registered our marriage, let’s part ways amicably in the future."
"No, you can’t do this....." Gao Qianyu couldn’t accept this outcome.
There was no need for her to respond, Su Li couldn’t be bothered with her anymore, only telling Xiao Bo and Liu Zhang, "Even if there were troubles between us, she’s still a fellow countrywoman, it’s really hard for a woman with a child, help her out a bit more."
Repaying evil with good, well done.
Liu Zhang and Xiao Bo felt respectful, for a man to handle things in this way was rare indeed.
Su Li turned back to Gao Qianyu and said, "Now, we’re better off here than before, it will be easier for you to find a job."
"You don’t need to look outside, just near Chinatown, you can find a decent job."
"There are many Chinese restaurants here, opened by our fellow countrymen, as a waitress, dishwasher...try harder, you can support yourself and the child."
Ignoring Gao Qianyu’s shaky figure, Su Li concluded firmly, "That’s it, I’ll write to our parents about the situation."
"Are you trying to drive me to death?" Gao Qianyu spoke out hopelessly.
Su Li: "You’re overthinking it, I won’t reveal the true reasons, just say we can’t get along and amicably split. Don’t worry...."
"And you say that’s not trying to drive me to death?" Gao Qianyu was genuinely terrified and panicked.
He Li’s previous sympathy toward Gao Qianyu had turned into slight displeasure at this moment.
She interjected angrily, "Does Su Bro have to acknowledge a child that’s not his to be not driving you to death?"
Su Li casually waved his hand, "Let’s disperse."
In her last life, Gao Qianyu didn’t cling on like this and was rather efficient.
Upon realizing her husband’s firm decision to have her abort, she took the money and ran.
However, she was carrying a child and raising one for the first time, now perhaps understanding its hardships.
But having made the choice, there’s no room for regret, anyway, Su Li wouldn’t let her do that.
The next day, just like her past life, Gao Qianyu left a letter for Su Li silently and disappeared, no one knew where she went.
He Li, being a girl, was soft-hearted, still worried about how Gao Qianyu, a woman alone, would live on.
Abroad is nothing like at home, it’s genuinely chaotic.
With legalized firearms, violence, racial conflicts...even those of us who have lived here for generations tread carefully, not to mention a vulnerable woman with a child.
However, this worry instantly dissipated in the afternoon when Ah Zhen showed up with an IOU.
"Sorry, it’s none of my business."
"I broke up with her yesterday."
Hearing this, Ah Zhen had no lingering feelings toward Gao Qianyu.
The companion beside him patted his shoulder, jesting, "Luckily you didn’t have much money, limited to lend out."
But even little money is still money, Ah Zhen genuinely felt a heartache. Sending it back home could buy the family some extra meat.
