Chapter 23
Ten minutes later, Fu Yusen walked out of the old neighborhood. Jiang’s mother’s words were like a thunderbolt, still leaving his mind reeling. “Nuan Nuan has her pride too, but the pride of the poor means nothing to the rich. Your father knew about her pregnancy, personally delivered the check, and told her to leave the country.” “I also told her to get rid of the child, but she wouldn’t, she’s so stubborn.” Fu Yusen’s heart had gone numb. All his suspicions and guesses were dismissed one by one, leaving only one possibility: Jiang Nuan was so eager for the child’s arrival. Even if it meant fighting against all odds, she wanted to keep the child. And what did he do? He approached her with a superior attitude, filled with prejudice and mistrust. He took her to the hospital without explanation, said hurtful things, and forced her to abort the child. He was the one who got her pregnant, and he was the one who forced her to terminate it. What did he say at the time? ——If the child could choose, knowing it would have a mother like you, it would probably wish it had never been born. It seemed like after saying that, Jiang Nuan signed the consent form. What was she thinking then? Did it hurt when she was on the operating table? Was she scared? Was she cold? Fu Yusen got into the car, lifting his hand to rub his face hard. He didn’t feel cold when he arrived, but now, his whole body felt like it had been fished out of ice water, not a single inch of skin feeling warm. A voice of scorn and disdain rose from within: Fu Yusen, you’re arrogant, cold-hearted, and ruthless. You deserve to lose her. The sky darkened bit by bit, and Fu Yusen’s phone rang. It was a call from his father. Fu Yusen moved slightly, only to realize that his limbs were completely numb.
Father Fu seemed to have urgent matters, calling one phone after another.
Fu Yusen finally got hold of his phone, picked up, and said, “What’s the matter?”
“Where are you? Come back to the company as soon as possible. There’s a problem with a project.”
Fu Yusen reached out to press his temples, the pain clearing his mind a bit.
