Chapter 372: Rejection
Translator: Lonelytree
By the time we arrived at the hospital, Nanyang’s child had already been born. It was a girl. Due to premature labor, she was sent to the incubator.
Lu Yan stayed by Nanyang’s side in her ward. Lu Yan was shocked when she saw us.
Nanyang gave me a miserable smile. “Nanxing, remember you promised me that you’d take good care of my child...”
I said calmly, “I didn’t give such a promise. You’re a mother now, and you have to be responsible for your own child! You need to take care of her yourself!”
Nanyang smiled bitterly. “I can’t even take care of myself, so how am I supposed to take care of her? Nanxing, I beg you. I’ll give her to you. She is your blood relatives.”
I glared at her. “What do you think you gave birth to? A box of fruits? Or a bunch of flowers? Can she be gifted like this? Aren’t you afraid that she’ll hate you when she grows up? Hate the fact that you have given her to someone else?”
Nanyang’s eyes were filled with tears. “Let her hate me then. I want her to live a better life. If she sticks with me, she won’t have a good life. If she is with you, at least she’ll have a chance at a better life.”
Nanyang sobbed.
My tone softened. “A child’s best life is by their mother’s side. As long as they’re with their mother, they’ll be fine. Nanyang, you have to be strong for the sake of your daughter. You have to work hard to provide a better life for your child. This is your responsibility as a mother!”
Lu Yan quickly said, “Nanxing is right. You have to be strong. Why do you insist on banging on a wall that won’t be moved? The correct thing to do is to stop yourself before it’s too late.”
Nanyang looked at her deeply. “Thank you.”
Lu Yan was a little embarrassed. “I-I didn’t do anything. I just happened to be there.” She added anxiously, “I worry about the child. You girls should stay to accompany Nanyang. I’ll go to take a look at the child.” We watched Lu Yan leave. She looked a little panicked.
Jing Ni stood at the end of the bed and looked at Nanyang. She said calmly, “Sister-in-law, do you think by exposing Ye Qian, Jing Ning will break up with her? Is your plan to get help from Grandpa? You believe eventually Jing Ning will return to you and your child.”
Nanyang fell silent.
Mai Qi said bluntly, “How can you be so dumb? You don’t even know you’ve been used!”
Jing Ni looked at Mai Qi. “She has no one to blame but herself. She was the one who allowed the wolf into her house. And now, the wolf was the one who chased her out instead. In her desperation, she sought aid from anywhere and everywhere. However, she didn’t expect that not a single member of the Jing Family would come to see her even after the child was born. So do you regret it now? Do you regret snatching Jing Ning away from Nanxing back then?”
I frowned. “Why did you have to involve me?”
Nanyang sobbed. “It’s all my fault. I deserve to die. But my child is really innocent. Nanxing, please save her. You must know that my mother-in-law has always wanted a grandson. When I was pregnant, she was already going around telling people how excited she was to see her grandchild. But once she knew it was a granddaughter, she didn’t even come to the hospital. The child is born into a poor circumstance. Nanxing, no one will save her except you.”
I interrupted her, “Nanyang, I lost my mother when I was young. You know better than anyone how that affected me. Are you going to let your daughter become the childhood version of Nanxing?
“Jing Ni’s mother is fragile. However, she is willing to endure any hardship for the sake of her daughter.. She never thought about handing Jing Ni away but tried her best to care for Jing Ni herself. What about you?”
