Chapter 518 - 517: Ordinary Reconciliation Expert – Qiu
However, when it comes to couples, especially those who have broken up, it’s best for others not to interfere too much.
Having talked about the past, Mu Qiu changed the subject and spoke about the present.
"But the decision about whether to keep this child or not, whether you and he completely cut ties or attempt to rekindle, is a choice you have to make on your own.
If you don’t want this child and don’t want to be entangled with Brother Lin anymore, that’s completely fine as well. It’s your freedom. If it feels too painful, then you can tell him clearly that there’s no chance for you two.
Although it might be painful, cutting it off once and for all isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Even if you want to maintain the current state and be an ostrich, that’s fine too. No one can criticize your decisions as long as you don’t regret them."
Her expression was serious, and she spoke these words orderly, without any personal emotion, calm and rational.
She was quite different from the beautiful young girl who previously didn’t like communicating with her parents and appeared impatient.
Su Jin touched her belly and smiled a bit, "You seem quite different now from before."
This was an attempt to start with a lighter topic.
Mu Qiu nodded, temporarily setting aside the previous topic, and smiling lightly, "It’s not that I’ve changed much, it’s just that you rarely see how I talk with friends when I’m not at home."
"I hadn’t even returned, and I heard you’ve recently been dating a celebrity from the entertainment industry and even appeared on a program. Congratulations. Did Teacher Mu mention anything to you?"
"I did appear on a program, and then met someone I liked. I’m not afraid of being criticized, liking someone means just that, is it wrong to date someone you like?"
"So if it were you," Su Jin bit her dry lips, asking her, "what would you do if you suddenly got pregnant?"
"That would depend on the circumstances at the time. If I were also in a breakup state with him and this child came about just from a drunken encounter, I might cruelly give it up."
She glanced down at her phone, analyzing various possibilities without emotion.
"Having decided to break up and bid farewell to the past, why would I keep his child? I wouldn’t make a good mother.
But if we were still together and I still liked him, I would leave the decision to him. If he wanted to end it or keep the child, he should speak first, then I would decide..."
Su Jin asked curiously, "Decide what?"
"Decide whether to slap him a few times."
"......"
But after thinking about Cheng Zhirang’s handsome face, Mu Qiu added another line: "Though I might not have the heart to do it. But if he sowed a seed without the promise of marriage, I would definitely make a big fuss."
Su Jin’s eyes widened, "What, what kind of fuss?"
"Using you as an example," she unlocked her phone and placed it in front of Su Jin, saying, "you can call Brother Lin right now, start by scolding him until he has no words to say.
Then tell him you terminated the pregnancy. The main point is, in a situation where you feel wronged, feel free to make him suffer. Vent your anger, don’t keep it bottled up."
After all, Zhou Jilin would be eager for her to contact him, even if it meant being scolded, he would probably still be happy.
Su Jin looked at her phone, pressing her lips tightly together.
Mu Qiu couldn’t bear it any longer and picked up the phone, "Shall I help you?"
Perhaps feeling bewitched, Su Jin nodded impulsively.
The call was put on speaker, and the prolonged beeping echoed in the hospital room, becoming torturous. Su Jin was about to say forget it when a deep voice answered the call.
"Mu Qiu?"
Su Jin jerked her hand back like she had been shocked, lowering her eyes to stare at the blue and white striped hospital bed covers.
Mu Qiu glanced at her, remained expressionless, and said to Zhou Jilin, "Brother Lin, did you know Sister Su Jin had a miscarriage?"
Su Jin: "???"
There was a pause from Zhou Jilin’s side, followed by the sound of someone getting up quickly, possibly even knocking over a chair.
"Where?!" he asked in a deep voice.
She quickly reported the hospital name and room number, even reminding him to bring some nourishing chicken soup.
The whole conversation flowed naturally, her expression unchanged when the call ended.
Su Jin was left dumbfounded.
"Qiuqiu, you..."
"No need to praise me, Sister Su Jin, I just slightly exaggerated the facts based on your situation."
Su Jin was taken aback, then forced a smile, "You figured it out?"
"Couldn’t have been more obvious," Mu Qiu adjusted the air conditioning with the remote, raising it by two degrees, and said calmly:
"Pregnancy doesn’t require hospitalization, nor does it make you look this pale. Moreover, there are no fruit baskets or bouquets around, the water cups are dry, and the IV bag has a timestamp from two hours ago.
Who checks into a hospital at dinnertime without any pressing need? Did you learn you were pregnant only after being admitted?"
After a long silence, Su Jin sighed and said, "Yes. I fainted while wearing high heels on the stairs but fortunately, someone caught me."
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be a matter of worrying about whether to let Zhou Jilin know about this child.
Mu Qiu frowned, "That’s really scary."
She looked at the time and added, "Brother Lin shouldn’t be too far from here. Given his current mood, he could probably make it here in under thirty minutes with his foot on the gas. Sister Su Jin, have you thought about what you want to say first?"
"Say what?" No, I mean, why think about the first thing to say upon meeting now?
Mu Qiu: "Say—Zhou Jilin, you bastard."
"......" Su Jin laughed and cried, "Does Zhou Jilin know you’re like this now?"
"Why would he know?"
"Then does your boyfriend know? That celebrity seems quite nice."
"Speaking of my boyfriend," Mu Qiu sighed deeply while rubbing her forehead, "he’ll probably find out I’m here shortly."
"Oh? Why?"
"The paparazzi are everywhere. My boyfriend is quite famous, and now I’ve come alone to the gynecology hospital in the middle of the night, it’s likely that news suggesting I’m pregnant will soon surface online."
Su Jin frowned, "Paparazzi hanging around the gynecology hospital? Or have they been tailing you?"
"Either is possible. But it could also be me overthinking. Just because he’s famous doesn’t mean the paparazzi can recognize me.
This hospital probably doesn’t have any celebrity births going on, so maybe there aren’t any paparazzi stationed."
But it cannot be ruled out that they have already taken photos and are working overtime to write article text for Weibo postings.
She silently apologized in her heart to Chen Song and Cheng Zhirang.
"Doesn’t this mean I caused you to get photographed by the paparazzi?" Su Jin frowned, her voice gentle and full of apology, "I’m sorry Qiuqiu, if I’d known, I wouldn’t have contacted you."
"Who else would you contact if not me? You have no friends here..."
"Bang!"
The hospital room door was violently opened, banging against the wall and bouncing back.
Out of breath, Zhou Jilin stood at the doorway, staring at the person in the hospital bed.
Su Jin panicked slightly, instinctively turning her head to avoid his gaze.
This kind of atmosphere absolutely cannot have a third person present.
Mu Qiu stood up and said, "Brother Lin, speak gently, Sister Su Jin isn’t feeling well right now. I’ll be leaving first."
"Don’t leave alone," Zhou Jilin diverted some attention, looking back at her, "Call him, let him come to pick you up."
