Chapter 323 - 119 You are too naive Playing to the trick_3
Kang Jinxian thought of Ji Yunya’s words from this morning and couldn’t help feeling terribly anxious; now Kang Jinse’s pregnancy update had left her with a headache, and her complexion turned particularly unsightly.
As everyone took their seats one after the other, Kang Jinse sat close to Yun Shen, gazing at him with adoring, love-filled eyes. This scene deeply troubled Kang Jinxian, and she struggled mightily to conceal her emotions.
Yun Ya watched the undercurrents between them, his lips curving into an imperceptible smugness.
"Shenshen, you are already thirty-seven years old, and yet you don’t have any children, which has always been a worry for me," Yun Shu began.
All of a sudden, Yun Ya laughed—a laugh that was jarring and heard by everyone, as if it were at a joke, so natural and free.
No children? Then what were he and Miaomiao?
The skill of telling lies with her eyes wide open has gotten remarkably better.
However, the laugh struck everyone as being full of scorn.
Yun Shu glanced at him but said nothing further, turning her head away.
"Today, that worry of mine has finally been lifted," she said with a beaming smile. Her usually stern face now seemed more human and amiable.
Yun Shen unconsciously furrowed his brow.
Yun Shu turned to Kang Jinse: "Jinse, better you tell him yourself."
Kang Jinse looked at him tenderly, placed his hand on her abdomen, and said softly, "Brother Shen, I’m pregnant. This is the fruit of our love. Are you happy?"
Kang Jinxian took a deep breath, trying her best to calm the surging jealousy within her, for every single person present was too shrewd for her to show any flaw.
Kang Jinse looked expectantly at Yun Shen, her cheeks flushed as if touched by rouge, making her face appear even more enchantingly beautiful.
She assumed Yun Shen would be as thrilled as she was. After all, his dislike for the twins was practically an open secret. He was middle-aged and undoubtedly yearned for a child, otherwise, who would inherit the vast family business in the future?
Yun Shen gave her a deep look. "What did you say?"
Kang Jinse thought he was overwhelmed by the surprise and shyly repeated herself.
Yun Shen abruptly withdrew his hand, so suddenly that Kang Jinse froze for a moment before looking up at him in shock.
The man in front of her had tightly pursed lips, his gaze was frosty, and his eyebrows were so furrowed they seemed as if they could trap a fly.
Kang Jinse suddenly grew alarmed, reaching out instinctively for his hand, "Brother Shen, you... you don’t like this child?"
Yun Shen stood up and stepped back, looking at her coldly, "Get rid of the child."
Kang Jinxian abruptly looked up, her disbelief intertwined with a surge of elation.
Yun Ya narrowed his eyes slightly, giving Yun Shen a profound glance.
Kang Jinse thought she had misheard. "Brother Shen, what did you say?"
"I said to terminate the pregnancy," he said with an icy tone, cold as the frost of the coldest winter days, stabbing her heart.
Kang Jinse nearly buckled, as if struck by lightning. "Why? Brother Shen, this is your child."
She suddenly remembered the fake pregnancy from ten years ago; Yun Shen had reacted the same way back then, adamantly refusing the child, and only reluctantly agreed under the pressure of Yun Shu’s threat to starve herself.
What had he said then?
To bear my child, you are not worthy.
After ten years, was she still not qualified to bear his child?
This realization left her utterly heartbroken and despairing, her face pale as paper.
"Enough," Yun Shu said coldly as she looked at Yun Shen, "If I say the child stays, it stays. Shenshen, are you not even going to listen to me now?"
Yun Shen’s eyes flickered unpredictably, suddenly turning towards Yun Shu, "Mother, don’t push me."
"What am I pushing you for? Shenshen, you are of such an age now, you need an heir. Otherwise, how will you face our Yun Family’s ancestors after a hundred years?"
Yun Ya subtly raised an eyebrow, wondering how someone could be so thick-faced as to say such a thing. Everything they enjoyed and possessed came from the Ji Family, the fruit of her grandfather’s hard work—when did it become theirs, the Yun Family’s?
All of this, I will certainly take back with my own hands.
Yun Shen pulled out his phone and made a call, "Arrange for an abortion as soon as possible."
Yun Shu snatched the phone from his hand, pointing at his nose, "Yun Shen, this child must stay. Otherwise, you are unfilial."
Yun Shen was known to be a dutiful son, a fact known to all.
Without a word, Yun Shen turned and went back upstairs.
Yun Shu comforted Kang Jinse briefly before quickly following him.
Kang Jinse threw herself into Kang Jinxian’s arms, sobbing her heart out, while Kang Jinxian comforted her verbally but felt utterly thrilled inside.
Her brother surely refused the child for her sake; even if pregnant, what good is it if you cannot bring it to term?
