“My dad only reigns supreme in Nanjiang!” said Sheng Nanxuan mockingly. “I’ve already found a job in the capital, which he has no influence over. I can bring Gong Mo there.”

Mama Gong was stunned. If this were the case, there was nothing else to worry about. She said, “Go to the hospital then. Remember to buy food for Gong Mo after the examination.”
Sheng Nanxuan smiled. “Relax, Auntie. I can’t bear to see her hungry.”
Gong Mo blushed and gave him a rebuking look. He was so smooth. Did he really think that they had known each other for years and were very close? His actions seemed too genuine.
…
Gong Mo tested positive at the hospital. She was indeed pregnant.
Upon returning home, Gong Mo handed the examination report to Mama Gong.
Mama Gong sighed. “What else can I say when you’ve already gotten pregnant? I can only watch over you as you make your own plans.”
“I will definitely take care of Momo and my child,” said Sheng Nanxuan.
Mama Gong smiled. “It’s good of you to take responsibility and want to keep the child. After what both you and Gong Mo have been through, what with you being chased out of the Sheng Family and Gong Mo being thrown out of work, it’s good that you are still a good person.”
An irresponsible man would probably have asked Gong Mo to abort the child or even abandoned her.
Mama Gong said to Sheng Nanxuan, “But you have to think carefully! To want to keep a child under such circumstances will create a lot of pressure in the future. Moreover, you’re going to live in the capital where the living expenses are exorbitant. You’re not allowed to bully my Momo if things ever get tough.”
“Relax, Auntie.” He felt no pressure with regards to finances at all. Rather, his finances would put pressure on other people.

“Well… so you’ve decided to get married, then?” Mama Gong thought this too sudden. She had just finished raising her daughter, but she was now about to marry someone. She felt like beating her shameful girl!
“Of course,” said Sheng Nanxuan. “I want to marry her as fast as possible. Gong Mo’s belly isn’t showing yet, so we can tell people that we’re getting married first before going to the capital. There are a lot of graduates who get married right after graduation anyway, so no one will suspect a thing.”
“That sounds like a good idea. It’s best to not tell anyone about this.” Mama Gong then said fiercely to Gong Mo, “If your Aunt and the rest find out that you’re pregnant before you got married, they will definitely gossip behind our backs! I’m not afraid of shame, but I’m just annoyed how they don’t see us as their relatives and talk bad about us as though it’d make them rich!”
“Mom…” Gong Mo held her hand worriedly. “What will you do after I leave?”
Wouldn’t her relatives bully Mama more intensely after she left?
Big Uncle and Third Uncle both had sons who were of marriage age and both of them wanted to prepare a house for themselves. However, property prices were expensive right now and they were unable to afford it. Thus, they turned their sights to her mother’s house!
Gong Mo asked Sheng Nanxuan, “Do you really have to go to the capital to work?”
“What are you talking about?” Mama Gong interrupted her. “A man’s career is the most important thing.”
Sheng Nanxuan smiled and said, “I actually want to stay here, but my dad and brother hate me so much that I wouldn’t be able to find a job here at all.”
Mama Gong looked at him with sympathy. “When are you supposed to start work in the capital?”
Sheng Nanxuan thought for a couple of seconds. “I was supposed to report on the 1st of next month, but it’s also possible to delay it for another two months.”
“It’s not good to delay it!” said Mama Gong anxiously. “It’s so hard to find a job nowadays, so you’d better go there as soon as possible. There’s still half a month left before next month, so you should hurry up and settle whatever you need to settle and then head to the capital.”
