Shocking! My Rugged Husband is the Hidden Tycoon in the 70s Novel-Chapter 258: This Child Was Yours All Along

Jiang Chengxu only felt mocked; he couldn’t believe that he hadn’t trusted Xu Qinghuan before. He always thought Xu Qinghuan was being unreasonable, that even her own sister couldn’t tolerate her.

"Xu Manman, you’ve always wanted to marry me, haven’t you?"

Xu Manman thought he was being sentimental and nodded, "Brother Chengxu, I’ve always liked you. From the first time I saw you, I loved you, but at that time you were my brother-in-law."

In the past, hearing these words, Jiang Chengxu would have been moved. After the dream, he thought, after all, she was once his woman, he couldn’t be cold and heartless. He only thought that he should still take care of her, but he couldn’t have anything with Xu Manman because he couldn’t betray Qinghuan.

When Xu Qinghuan was upset with him because of Xu Manman, he felt both proud and happy inside, but of course, he was also a bit annoyed with Xu Qinghuan’s persistence.

But now, hearing Xu Manman say these things, Jiang Chengxu only felt a little irritated. "So, you did it on purpose, deliberately making Qinghuan unhappy, watching her argue with me, you must feel proud, right?"

Xu Manman lowered her eyes, and from her tightly pressed lips, Jiang Chengxu saw the answer.

"Xu Manman, why aren’t you lying anymore? Why aren’t you saying that even though you love me, you never dared to desire me? You said you’ve never thought of being with me; you just couldn’t bear to part with me. Why aren’t you saying that now?"

Jiang Chengxu’s sarcasm was light in tone, but the madness restrained within it was something only he knew.

Xu Manman was still immersed in her act, not noticing this, and she continued along his line, "Brother Chengxu, I didn’t dare, but didn’t Sister already give you up?

She got engaged to someone else, and even when she went to Yan City, she took that good-for-nothing with her. Brother Chengxu, now you only have me!"

After saying this, she reached out to hug Jiang Chengxu’s waist, but Jiang Chengxu pushed her away. "Xu Manman, I don’t have the habit of raising other people’s children."

Xu Manman’s face turned pale, but Jiang Chengxu quickly restrained his temper. "Xu Manman, entering the Jiang family’s door isn’t easy. I can marry you, but I can never..."

He finished speaking and glanced disdainfully at Xu Manman’s belly.

Xu Manman pursed her lips, "Brother Chengxu, the child is... it’s yours, that day..."

That day was sudden, and Zhou Chang’an seemed to force himself out, but Xu Manman was too inexperienced.

Jiang Chengxu snorted and ignored her, pushing her away and leaving.

Xu Qinghuan was at the health point with nothing to do, pulling out the last bit of translation documents to work on.

At the door, Dadan led a group of kids playing hawk and chicken. In this round, Qin Baifan played the hawk with great joy, sweating profusely.

After Xu Qinghuan finished writing the last sentence and checked the translation of the keywords with no mistakes, she closed the document and discreetly stored it away.

She took out some water from her space and called the children, "Come over for water, line up for the water!"

Dadan was first in line, and Qin Baifan hurried to take second place. After Erdan were the other kids, with Erya at the end of the line.

"Auntie, your water is so good, it’s really sweet." Dadan drank a couple more sips, sticking out his tongue at the sweetness.

"I can drink it every day." Qin Baifan said, making the kids envious.

Erdan quickly rushed forward to drink, "Auntie, I want to drink it every day too."

"Sure, come whenever you want to drink, I’ll give you some."

When it was Erya’s turn, there wasn’t much water left. After she finished drinking, she wanted to ask if there was more but felt it was embarrassing to ask.

Xu Qinghuan noticed and smiled, "Want more?"

She quickly nodded, and Xu Qinghuan pretended to go inside to pour more water, bringing out a pot for her, "Drink as much as you want."

Erya drank until her belly was full, then put down the pot and politely said, "Thank you, Auntie."

When Xu Manman came over, what she saw was Xu Qinghuan playing with the kids. She reached up and touched her own belly; if it weren’t for Xu Qinghuan, she wouldn’t have needed to seduce Zhou Chang’an, nor would the father of her child now be unclear.

"What are you here for?" Xu Qinghuan was just about to sketch some fashion designs; the clothing factory still needed to be set up.

Xu Manman came over and sat down at the table, "Sister..."

Xu Qinghuan raised her hand to interrupt her, "You should be very clear about your own identity by now. Don’t call me sister, my surname is Xu, not Bao."

Xu Manman clenched her fists, held back, opened her eyes, "Doctor Xu, I came to see a doctor."

"Tell me, what are you sick with? What’s uncomfortable?" Xu Qinghuan picked up her teacup, took a sip, barely swallowing it before hearing Xu Manman say, "Abortion!"

Spit!

Xu Qinghuan spat a mouthful onto Xu Manman’s face, spraying her with saliva, and almost choked herself.

"I don’t do that business!" Xu Qinghuan stood up, put the teacup on the table, and went to the washstand to fetch a towel to wipe her mouth.

Xu Manman wiped her face instinctively, licked a sweet droplet off her lip, and said angrily, "Aren’t you a doctor? I’m coming to you, why won’t you do it?"

Xu Qinghuan said, "I’m just a barefoot doctor. If you want to give birth, I can deliver your baby. But if you want an abortion, you have to go to a proper hospital."

Xu Manman pressed closer to Xu Qinghuan, "You’re doing it on purpose, right? You know very well I can’t go to a hospital for an abortion, you’re making things difficult for me on purpose, aren’t you?"

Xu Qinghuan asked, "Why do you want an abortion? What, Jiang Chengxu won’t acknowledge it?"

Xu Manman looked at the sarcasm on her face, finding it unbearable, but now she had no one to rely on, so she explained, "He won’t acknowledge it. He says I’m unmarried and pregnant, which shames him. He wants me to have an abortion before marrying me."

Xu Qinghuan guessed there had to be some changes, and smiled, "You really believe he’ll marry you after the abortion? Xu Manman, are you brain-dead? Do you believe that kind of talk?"

"Brother Chengxu wouldn’t lie to me."

Xu Qinghuan said, "Xu Manman, if you’re unmarried and pregnant and go to the hospital for an abortion, people will treat you like an outcast. But if you’re married to Jiang Chengxu first, and then go for an abortion, no one can say anything. You decide!"

Xu Manman went to find Jiang Chengxu, "Brother Chengxu, Xu Qinghuan wouldn’t give me the pills, she told me to go to the hospital for an abortion. If I go to the hospital and they ask me who the father of the child is, what should I say?"

Jiang Chengxu was shocked, "You actually went to find Qinghuan? How did you tell her? Did you say the child inside you is mine?"

Xu Manman’s face lost all color, "Brother Chengxu, but this child really is yours. Do you want me to tell her about Zhou Chang’an?"

Seeing Jiang Chengxu at a loss for words, Xu Manman’s heart was full of hate, along with a growing obsession. Why, even when Xu Qinghuan was engaged to someone else, did Jiang Chengxu still not want to forget her?

Why!

"Brother Chengxu, my brother already took the blame for you, but tell me, if Xu Qinghuan finds out you hired someone to defile her and also sought to get rid of Jiang Xingye with one stone, do you think she’ll forgive you?"

Jiang Chengxu seemed as if he’d been struck down. At first, when he took that step, Xu Qinghuan wasn’t the daughter of the Huo family. Back then, all he felt for her was resentment, hatred for her betrayal, and heartlessness.
