Jiang Muqing, whose eyes had been darting away, was taken aback upon hearing this.
Liu Guixiang, oblivious to her daughter's stiff expression, was overjoyed. "Now that you're pregnant with the Xu family's child, you're definitely going to be able to enter their home!"
"Six months later, when Xu Mingze comes out and sees that you're pregnant with his child, he'll definitely be very happy..."
Sitting in his wheelchair, Jiang Xingde snapped, "What nonsense are you spouting? Qing'er is still in school, studying acting. If she gets pregnant and has a baby now, her studies will be ruined. Qing'er, listen to your father, go and get an abortion right now..."
Liu Guixiang glared at him. "What do you know? Once Qing'er marries into the Xu family and becomes Mrs. Xu, why would she need to go out and act to earn money? Besides, wealthy families don't like their daughters-in-law going out in public. Qing'er can just stay at home and be a good wife and mother..."
She then looked at Jiang Muqing, who had remained silent, and said, "Qing'er, here's what we'll do: tomorrow Mom will take you to the Xu family. I don't believe the Xu family would want their precious grandson to be left out in the world."
Jiang Muqing lowered her head, biting her lip, her pink manicured nails digging hard into her palms. After a long while, she raised her head and said, "Mom, I think Dad is right. My future acting career is more important. I have to film my first short drama next month. I think I should go and have an abortion."
Liu Guixiang quickly helped her sit down on the sofa and earnestly said, "My precious daughter, don't do anything foolish. You absolutely mustn't abort this child. You must give birth to it. Even if Xu Mingze doesn't marry you, you can still get a considerable amount of child support every month. Isn't that a golden nugget that can make money?"
"If you give birth to a son, maybe he can inherit the Xu Group in the future..."
Jiang Xingde disagreed with his wife's idea, sighed and advised, "People will leave, mountains will crumble, relying on anyone is not as good as relying on yourself. Your career is the most important thing. You should be like your sister, capable of supporting yourself and not depending on a man..."
In Jiang Xingde's view, Xu Mingze was not a good match. He cheated on Jiang with Jiang Muqing while he was with Jiang Shutong, so even if he married Jiang Muqing in the future, he would continue to cheat on other women.
He continued to encourage his daughter, saying, "You've already landed a role in a short drama; you might become an overnight sensation soon..."
Jiang Muqing clasped her hands together and remained silent.
The first short drama she received was just playing a supporting role.
She was the kind of innocent, manipulative female supporting character; the director spotted her immediately during the audition.
Becoming an overnight sensation is every actor's dream, and she was no exception.
Jiang Muqing seemed to have made up her mind and said, "Mom and Dad, I want to abort this child."
Liu Guixiang naturally disagreed; she was practically begging her beloved daughter to kneel down.
But Jiang Muqing remained unmoved.
Because she had already calculated the time, the child in her belly was not Xu Mingze's at all.

Wen Family Villa.
The Wen family was having dinner in the restaurant.
Wen Shiyan asked, "Yaoyao, I heard Yichen fired you?"
Wen Luoyao shrugged indifferently, "Yeah, because he knows I caused trouble for Jiang Shutong at Zhitu before, so he got angry and wanted to stand up for his little wife."
Mentioning this matter, Wen Shiyan recalled the proposal submitted by Bai Ruwei, his brows furrowing so deeply they could trap a fly.
His tone became unusually serious. "Yaoyao, you really shouldn't have done that. I took you to Zhitu just to satisfy your curiosity and see what Jiang Shutong looks like, not to have you make things difficult for her, and you definitely shouldn't have replaced her."
Wen Luoyao pouted, "Brother, she's my love rival. You wouldn't really want to cooperate with her and give her such a huge project from our Wen Group, would you? I was just playing around before, just trying to make things difficult for her, so I let her go after I was done. I don't believe that no one else can do it well, except her!"
Wen Cheng'an looked at his daughter disapprovingly, "Yaoyao, your brother entrusted that project to you because he trusts you and wants to train you properly, but you're not taking it seriously..."
Wen Luoyao didn't want to hear any lectures, so she quickly waved her hand and said, "Okay, okay, I know I was wrong. I've already handed this project back to my brother. I'll send him the proposal Jiang Shutong made earlier later, okay? I won't interfere anymore..."
Wen Shiyan looked at his spoiled younger sister and sighed helplessly.
Wen Luoyao's mother, Ni Huifang, placed a piece of pork rib on her plate. "Yaoyao, which hospital is Yichen in? I'll have Auntie make some soup tomorrow, and I'll go visit him with you..."
Wen Luoyao pouted, "Mom, you can go by yourself, I'm not going."
Ni Huifang raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise in her eyes. "Didn't you used to be so eager to follow him around all the time? Now that he's injured, he needs someone to care for him. Why aren't you going?"
Wen Luoyao snorted, "He has a wife who's always there to take care of him, why would he need me? Last time I went there, they almost kicked me out..."
Hearing her somewhat sarcastic tone, Wen Shiyan understood her underlying meaning: "You mean, you've given up on pursuing Pei Yichen?"
Wen Luoyao nodded matter-of-factly. "Yes, I've thought it through. As the daughter of the prestigious Wen family, I can't lower myself to become a mistress. That would be a disgrace to the Wen family. He's already married, and might even have a child in a couple of days. I'd better not hang myself on that crooked tree of his..."
Pei Yichen will never be able to stand up again. No matter how handsome he is or how good his physique is, he will be completely sexually timid to her.
Hearing that his sister had finally come to her senses, Wen Shiyan finally breathed a sigh of relief. "I support you. I've said it before, Yichen isn't right for you. He's always treated you like a sister."
No, I didn't really treat her like a younger sister.
Because Pei Yichen always felt that Wen Luoyao had taken Wen Qinghe's place, he still harbored some hostility towards Wen Luoyao.
Ni Huifang was somewhat surprised. She knew very well how much her daughter liked Pei Yichen, so why did she give up so easily?
She held her daughter's hand with a hint of relief, "It's good that you've come to your senses. It's okay, Mom will find you an even better man later..."
The only one who objected was Wen Cheng'an, who interrupted impatiently, "What are you looking for? Is there any man in the entire capital city more outstanding than Yi Chen? Only he is worthy of our precious daughter."
He comforted his daughter, "Yaoyao, your Uncle Pei said he doesn't acknowledge this daughter-in-law. You're the only daughter-in-law he's recognized. Don't worry, Yichen and his wife from their whirlwind marriage won't last long before they divorce, especially given Yichen's current situation. How long can that wife take care of him? She'll probably run away in less than a month."
