Chapter 53: Confess Everything

Translator: Lonelytree

Xiao Lingyu confessed everything… other than the pendant. After all, she didn’t know if the jade pendant was a blessing or a curse. Therefore, the fewer people who knew about it, the better. She didn’t want to put her family in unnecessary danger.

Xiao Lingyu’s expression became serious as she said, “Dad, Mom, I need you to have an open mind after I tell you everything.”

Mother Xiao and Father Xiao looked at each other, and their expressions became serious too. They exchanged thoughts as old couples could, ‘Yu ‘Er is hiding something from us. And it sounds serious too.”

Father Xiao began, “Okay, Yu ‘Er. No matter what, we’re always on your side.”

Xiao Lingyu nodded, “So in the beginning…”

Xiao Lingyu began from the part where she was called to the Marriott Hotel by the Marketing Department Manager. She told them how she was drugged and sent as a gift to an old man. However, somehow, she ended up in the bed of a strange young man. After discovering the truth, she left the hotel, dragged a random man off the street, and returned to the company to exact her revenge. Young Master Yan was the casual man she found on the street. He helped her take absolute revenge by buying out Chen Ran’s father-in-law’s company. Then, Chen Ran turned against his new wife, Zhao Wenman. Zhao Wenman grabbed a fruit knife and stabbed Chen Ran.

While everyone was shocked, Zhao Wenman turned to charge at Xiao Lingyu. Thankfully, Young Master Yan reacted fast enough to kick the blade away from Zhao Wenman’s grasp.

Everyone was distracted by Zhao Wenman’s possible miscarriage. At that moment, Zhao Wenman’s father picked up the knife and flew at Xiao Lingyu. Young Master Yan saved her again. Xiao Lingyu suffered a superficial injury.

After that, she packed up her things and came home.

Xiao Lingyu’s simple story made her family tremble in fear. Their hearts flew up and down.

Mother Xiao cried and scolded, “You silly girl, so many things had happened, but you hid them from us? If you didn’t accidentally let it slip, how long do you plan to hide this from us?”

Mother Xiao then grabbed Xiao Lingyu up from the chair. She examined closely the location where Xiao Lingyu was scratched. Mother Xiao looked at her daughter’s smooth skin, and she frowned. “Didn’t you say you got injured? How come I can’t tell at all?”

It was hard for Xiao Lingyu to explain. She dropped a random excuse, “Mom, I already told you it’s a minor injury. After I applied the medicine, the wound healed.”

Mother Xiao believed her. After ensuring Xiao Lingyu was safe, it was time to dissect the other details in her story. Mother Xiao hadn’t forgotten about the fact that Xiao Lingyu was framed to sleep with another man.

Mother Xiao asked in a sharp expression, “Xiao Lingyu, Chen Ran, and that woman schemed against you. Why didn’t you say anything when his family was here?”

Mother Xiao said in disappointment, “How can that bastard be so heartless? You have been in a relationship with him for 10 years. 10 years and he can’t withstand the temptation of another woman. But that is fine. Everyone has a right to love. Since he has chosen another person, he should have just broken up with Yu Er. Why did he do such things to Yu ‘Er? Why can’t he be satisfied until Yu ‘Er’s reputation is ruined?”

Xiao Lingye was so angry that his face turned red. He said angrily, “That dog is vicious and evil. I’ll go find him now. I’ll show him the consequence for bullying my sister!” He charged out like a bull. It was clear he’d get into trouble.

Xiao Lingyu immediately pulled Xiao Lingye back. “Brother, calm down. Don’t be rash. Listen to me. I’ve already taken revenge. He’s already paying for what he has done. I don’t think he’ll have an easy future.”

Xiao Lingye looked at his sister. “But Sis, that man is evil. I have to kill him with my own two hands!”

“If you do that, you’re going to die with him!” Father Xiao said, “It’s not worth it to sacrifice yourself for an animal!”

Earlier, Xiao Lingyu only told them that Chen Ran had cheated on her with another woman. Xiao Lingyu didn’t tell them that Chen Ran had resorted to despicable means to ruin Yu ‘Er so that he could be together with that other woman.

Chen Ran looked like a stand-up young man, but he was really an animal!

He used drugs and blackmail to harm Yu ‘Er. The Xiao Family had no idea the man was so wicked.

Mother Xiao added, “Ye ‘Er, don’t be rash. Listen to your sister. That animal has already gotten his retribution. He was stabbed by his wife, and he is currently lying in the hospital.”

Xiao Lingye eventually calmed down. He nodded and admitted, “You’re right. It’s not worth it to sacrifice our lives for that animal.”

After settling Xiao Lingye down, Mother Xiao’s sharp eyes turned to Xiao Lingyu. She asked sharply, “You were tricked to a hotel, drugged, and slept with a man. Xiao Lingyu, why did you hide so many things from us? How long do you plan to keep this from us? Until your stomach gets too big that you can’t hide it anymore?”

Xiao Lingyu’s face immediately paled when she heard Mother Xiao’s last sentence.

Mother Xiao captured this reaction. She asked, “Xiao Lingyu, are you pregnant?” Xiao Lingyu was her daughter, so she could tell what she was thinking easily. ‘Could Yu ‘Er really be pregnant?’ Then Mother Xiao hesitated. ‘But a woman will only know about her pregnancy at least after a month. Yu ‘Er has only been back for a few days. How could she know she’s pregnant?’

Xiao Lingyu immediately shook her head. “No. I don’t know.” She kept her answer purposely vague.

Mother Xiao’s face darkened. She said sternly, “Xiao Lingyu, this is a serious problem. You have to face it honestly!”

Xiao Lingyu thought for a moment and looked at her mother. She asked very carefully, “Mom, if, a very big if, I’m pregnant, what should I do?”

Mother Xiao replied without thinking, “Of course, you have to go for an abortion!” The child didn’t even have a father. Keeping the child would only ruin Xiao Lingyu’s reputation.

The color drained from Xiao Lingyu’s face. She gasped. “But mom… He is still a life!”

In her previous life, the child was born because abortion would claim Xiao Lingyu’s life. Therefore, her family had to accept the child. But now…

Xiao Lingyu was consumed by fear. Xiao Lingyu said with difficulty, “Mom, if I’m really pregnant, I… I will keep him!”

She owed Xiao Tong too much. She had to make up to him.. However, it would be an arduous journey for Xiao Tong to be born. Regardless, Xiao Lingyu would do it! She would have Xiao Tong!
