Stepdaughter of a wealthy family? The little darling of a Beijing tycoon

Jingjing panicked immediately, stammering for a long time before finally whispering: "I can't hide it anymore."

"Mom, I don't live there anymore, I've moved out."

"Where did you move to? Tell us your address and we'll come find you."

"No need, no need, I'll come find you."

The couple waited downstairs for almost an hour before they saw their daughter rushing over with a small shoulder bag.

Li Xiuying's first glance fell on her stomach. It was flat and there was nothing unusual about it. She figured she was newly pregnant and not showing yet.

"Mom and Dad, what brings you here so suddenly?"

I missed you, so I came to see you.

The couple exchanged a glance; they had already discussed it in the car the night before.

Jingjing had originally said she would take them out to eat, but Li Xiuying immediately said:

"Let's skip dinner and go to the hospital first."

"Mom, why are we going to the hospital?"

"Just go when I tell you to, don't ask any more questions."

Before their daughter could react, the couple put her in their car and drove straight to the hospital, where they registered her in the obstetrics and gynecology department.

Upon entering the examination room, the doctor asked what she wanted to see. Li Xiuying gritted her teeth, her face still flushed, and spoke:

"Doctor, please check my daughter. She...she hasn't had her period lately. Is that abnormal?"

Jingjing was stunned for a moment: "Mom, how did you know my period is irregular? I didn't tell you."

"Didn't you mention it to me when you went home last time?" Li Xiuying casually brushed it off.

Jingjing didn't think much of it. Her periods had indeed been irregular lately, and the doctor quickly ordered tests.

After the results came out, the doctor looked at the report, glanced up at the mother and daughter, and said calmly:

"It's not irregular menstruation, it's pregnancy. I'm already ten weeks pregnant, more than two months along, and I can already hear the baby's heartbeat."

"Pregnant?!"

Jingjing's face turned deathly pale instantly, and her mind went blank.

She suddenly remembered that time she went out with her boyfriend two months ago; just once, and she had gotten pregnant.

She was well-behaved and sensible since childhood, and never dared to tell her family about her relationship. Now that she is suddenly pregnant, she is panicked and scared, and has no idea how to face her parents.

Upon hearing these words, Li Xiuying felt her body go limp and her heart sank completely.

All correct.

Everything that young woman said was absolutely right.

My daughter secretly started dating a hoodlum and she's actually pregnant.

The master's prediction that three days later, the family would be destroyed, the husband would die tragically, the daughter would jump off a building, and the person would live a lonely life... would all of that come true?

Seeing that they looked unwell, the doctor only told them to rest and to discuss whether to keep the baby with their family.

Li Xiuying, seemingly lost in thought, led Jingjing out of the consultation room.

Wang Weiguo, the husband who was standing guard at the door, could tell most of what was going on just by looking at his wife and daughter's expressions.

The family of three returned home with heavy hearts. Closing the door, shutting out all the outside noise, Jingjing finally couldn't bear the guilt and panic in her heart. With her head down and choking back tears, she confessed the whole story of her relationship to her parents.

Now that things have come to this, Li Xiuying no longer hides anything and tells her daughter every single one of the calamities that Shen Jingshu deduced last night.

Jingjing grew paler and paler as she listened, her whole body trembling uncontrollably. When she heard that she would cause her father's tragic death, suffer a miscarriage and be infertile for life, and finally jump off a building in despair, her whole body went cold, her hands and feet went numb, and an immense fear instantly engulfed her.

But a sliver of hope remained in her heart, and she murmured, "How could this be... He's been so good to me, he wouldn't do something like this, would he?"

Seeing her daughter's persistent expression, Li Xiuying took a deep breath and said calmly but helplessly, "If you don't believe me, call him now and tell him you're pregnant. See how he reacts. You'll know whether someone is true or false once you try."

After hesitating quietly for a moment, she finally dialed her boyfriend's number in front of her parents.

The moment the call connected, the receiver was filled with noisy singing and clinking glasses; the background was clearly a brightly lit karaoke bar, chaotic and restless.

The man's previously nonchalant voice, tinged with a lazy, cynical tone, fell into a brief, deathly silence upon hearing the news of Jingjing's pregnancy. Just two seconds later, the call was abruptly abruptly ended.

Hearing the cold, dial tone from the receiver, Jingjing froze on the spot, a lump forming in her throat, tears instantly streaming down her face. All the past tenderness and consideration now seemed like a complete joke. It turned out that the first reaction he had to take responsibility and show concern upon learning of her unexpected pregnancy was not to take responsibility or show concern, but to run away.

She covered her face and wept bitterly, filled with regret. She hated herself for being so naive and foolish, for being deceived by false kindness, for almost ruining herself and dragging her whole family down with her.

Just as she was heartbroken and in tears, her phone vibrated again; her boyfriend was calling back.

This time, his tone changed from the panicked evasion of before. Instead, it was filled with deliberately feigned joy and enthusiasm as he coaxed her in an extremely gentle voice, "Baby, it's okay. We'll keep the baby, and we'll get married."

Jingjing's eyes were blurry with tears, and she was filled with anxiety: "But we are too young. You don't have a stable job and can't afford to raise a child. Besides, my parents will never agree to us being together."

The man on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds, then coaxed, "Then let's elope. You secretly take out your parents' savings and valuables, and we'll take the money and run away. No one will be able to find us, and we can live a good life."

The moment those words were spoken, Jingjing felt a chill run through her body.

Every word and phrase was exactly the same as what that metaphysical master had predicted.

Encouraging elopement, stealing family property, and plotting against each other.

All her hopes were shattered, and she finally woke up completely, seeing through this man's selfish, despicable, and utterly shameless true nature. He had never genuinely loved her; he was merely after novelty and even plotted to exploit her to extract her parents' savings.

Overwhelmed by fear and guilt, she trembled violently, hurriedly hung up the phone, and turned to her tear-streaked parents. Her voice was hoarse and filled with remorse: "It's true... everything the master said is true! Mom and Dad, I'm sorry, I was so foolish, I almost ruined our whole family, I'm so sorry..."

Looking at their daughter who had suddenly come to her senses, Li Xiuying and Wang Weiguo were filled with mixed emotions, but they didn't utter a single harsh word.

Wang Weiguo sighed and said gently, "It's done now, so it's good that you admit your mistake and correct it. This child absolutely cannot be kept. You're still young, you have a long life ahead of you, you can't be trapped here forever. Abort the child, cut all ties with him completely, and your life will have countless possibilities."

"I'll listen to my parents." Quietly, tears welling in her eyes, she nodded, completely shattering all illusions.

The next day, the couple took their daughter to have surgery. For the next month, Li Xiuying put aside her barbecue stall business and devoted herself to taking care of her daughter who was recuperating at home, patiently comforting her and helping her overcome her trauma.

After Jingjing finished her postpartum confinement, fully recovered physically, and emerged from her psychological trauma, the couple discussed it repeatedly and decided to send their daughter to another city to stay with her aunt.

Firstly, to get away from this city full of troubles and completely cut off from the past; secondly, to change to a new environment so that my daughter can start her life anew and completely heal her emotional wounds.

Even after Jingjing hung up on him, the hoodlum boyfriend refused to give up and continued to harass and pester her with calls and messages day after day.

Having survived a life-or-death ordeal, Jingjing was completely sober and unhesitatingly blocked all his contact methods.

Fortunately, when she was in love, she was naive and timid, and never told her boyfriend her home address, her parents' information, or left any clues that could lead him to her home. In such a large city, with only a blocked contact number, he had no way of finding her.
