Chapter 61: Selfishness (Please Subscribe)

  Gentle breezes blew, and Song Jie felt a slight coolness. The willows along the riverbank also swayed in the wind, their leaves turning yellow, everywhere was a desolate scene of early winter.

  Two adults standing on the riverbank were speechless, Song Jie secretly rolled her eyes, what was this going to be about, the White Lotus was indeed deadly, and she had to take action herself.

  Song Jie reached out and tugged on Zhao Tong's sleeve, calling out in a low voice: "Young uncle."

  Zhao Tong was indeed interrupted by her, no longer distracted. But the next moment he felt embarrassed about his behavior again, wasn't it decided to go up and question her? How did he suddenly space out again? It's really infuriating.

  Song Jie rubbed her forehead, and the morale was indeed declining again. Wouldn't it be that she would really be moved by this woman after a while? She was indeed somewhat worried.

  It's no wonder that Zhao Tong couldn't hold back, such a beautiful woman with so much to say but not saying it standing in front of you, you also can't hold back, and Zhao Tong is not an exception.

  Zhao Tong secretly encouraged himself, finally gathering the courage: "Liu Mei, you know about your father causing trouble at our house, right? You also know that I'm innocent. I just want to ask what you're thinking now?"

  Liu Mei's eyes flashed with a hint of sadness and her eyes turned red after hearing Zhao Tong's words: "I'm sorry, Zhao Tong. I didn't know my father would do such a thing, I also advised him against it, but you know I have no say in our household..." She lowered her head in distress, looking like she was about to cry at any moment.

  Song Jie watched in stunned silence, this woman should be making movies, she's a shoo-in for an Oscar. Her expression, her demeanor, every move tugs at the heartstrings, and those tears that seem to fall but don't, it's just not something ordinary people can do. Song Jie silently rooted for her little brother-in-law, hoping he could hold his own and not fall for this beauty's trap.

  Zhao Tong found it difficult to deal with her like this. However, if one doesn't take care of oneself, heaven and earth will be destroyed. One can't ruin their whole life for a woman: "Liu Mei, I know you're in a difficult situation. Since you've had a child, you must have someone you like. You should tell your father clearly and try to get together with him, instead of coming to me with troubles."

  "I... I'm sorry, I know I've caused you a lot of trouble, but I couldn't say anything. His parents don't agree with us being together, and I don't want to cause him any more trouble. I know you're a good person, so please help me out, I really have no other choice."

  Song Jie was so angry that she couldn't move, what kind of person is this? Not liking someone yet meeting with them every day, where did they go early in the morning? Now they're coming up with another scheme, it's really harming others without benefiting themselves.

  "I can help you, but you should know that I lost my job because of your father. I also can't give you any more help, I'm struggling to protect myself now. Besides, how far do you want me to go to help you?" Zhao Tong asked tentatively.

  Liu Mei hung her head in silence, then suddenly lifted it up, her eyes shining brightly as she stared at Zhao Tong: "Zhao Tong, just say the child is yours, okay? Please! I want to give birth to him. He's a life. Besides you, I don't know who else can help me, waaah~~"

  Song Jie: "......" He's really shameless, too shameless!!!!!

  Zhao Tong was also stunned by her request: "No way. Absolutely not. You're making things so complicated, how are you going to wrap it up later? I disagree. What if your man thinks you're having an affair, have you thought of that?" He was almost stunned by this woman's outrageous idea.

  "I'm also helpless, we can't get married in a short time, and my belly is getting bigger. I must keep this child. Without this child, I won't live either, Zhao Tong, please help me... If not, I'll kneel down to beg you..." She said, about to kneel down.

  Zhao Tong was startled and quickly grabbed her arm. How could a pregnant woman kneel down?

  Watching the performance as if nothing had happened, Song Jie was magnificently ignored by Hua Lili...

  "Let me tell you, Liu Mei, this thing won't do, can't be done like this. Think about it, if things become real, what if your father forces us to get married? Will you marry or not? Later on, you'll still have to reveal the man you're with, and that's just a hassle."

  What's the point of doing so many things? You might as well just tell your dad directly!

  "No, I can't tell my dad, he'll kill him. I need him, please help me, Zhao Tong." Liu Mei's pitiful pleading was unbearable to watch.

  Song Jie was about to explode with anger, "Your man is afraid of being beaten to death by your dad, but isn't my little uncle afraid? How selfish! She's so angry that she wishes she could use a trap to dig a hole for her and make her lose the child once and for all."

  However, reason told her that the child was innocent, and even if there was no child, Liu Mei could still frame the incident on her younger uncle, and at that time, it would be a case of dying without evidence.

  Song Jie endured and endured, but in the end couldn't endure anymore: "Auntie, are you pregnant with a little baby?" She asked innocently, what an act! Alright, let's see who can outplay who, I'm an old monster who has lived two lifetimes, and I still can't handle you!!

  Liu Mei replied with a hint of embarrassment: "Yes, it's in Auntie's tummy." She even patted her flat stomach with her hand.

  "Auntie, is the baby in your tummy little uncle's? Are you going to be my little auntie from now on?"

  "This... this... isn't it." Liu Mei was stuttering from being asked, her face also flushed bright red.

  "It's not why Auntie wants me to marry your younger brother, you must be my younger aunt-in-law." Song Jie had an expression of "you're an adult, don't cheat a child, I understand everything".

  Liulian's face turned red with anger and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into: "You're still young, you don't understand, I won't marry your little uncle."

  "You won't marry my little uncle, why are you still clinging to him and delaying me from finding a wife for him? You're a bad woman!"

  Liu Mei's eyes turned red again as Song Jie spoke, and her shaky appearance was truly pitiful. She looked at Zhao Tong with a pair of phoenix eyes that seemed to speak: "Zhao Tong, look." Her expression seemed to have suffered great grievances.

  Zhao Tong was actually quite pleased in his heart. Nini had said everything, and she had said it all so correctly. If he wasn't afraid of offending Liu Mei, he would have really stood up for her like that.

  Song Jiesheng was afraid that things wouldn't be the same: "Little uncle, grandma said that the girl you're going to match with is especially good, let her be my little aunt, but you found this aunt who doesn't want to marry you, what about that little aunt?" After finishing, she puffed out her cheeks and made a angry face, looking cute.

  Zhao Tong was stunned, he had no idea his niece was so good at talking nonsense. Listen to this, what is all this?

  Liu Mei saw that Zhao Tong did not refute, so she thought he was in agreement. Suddenly her body swayed and she almost fell over, but managed to steady herself by holding onto a nearby tree.

  She shot a tearful glance at Zhao Tong: "Zhao Tong, I never knew that when you were pursuing me, you were still dating other girls. I thought you were an upright and honest person. Who would have thought you're such a disgusting person? I'm leaving, don't show up in front of me again."

  After finishing speaking, Liu Mei disappeared in a puff of smoke, and there was no sign that she was pregnant.

  Zhao Tong stared at her departing back, completely unable to react. What was all this about? His niece had lied, and Liu Mei had misunderstood and left. Although he knew the development of events was beneficial to him, why couldn't he turn this corner? He scratched his head.

  A bewildered Zhao Tong rode his bicycle back home, where his anxious father had been waiting with a long neck.

  Zhao Tong came back and first picked up the ceramic vase, "gurgling" as he poured half a vase of water, only then did he feel refreshed.

  Let Song Jie play on one side, Zhao Tong told his father about the whole thing without missing a single word. His father listened carefully and asked many questions.

  Until he finished speaking, Zhao's father thought for a while before speaking out: "It seems that there isn't much of a problem with this Liu Mei, looking at her conversation she doesn't seem like a serious person. She is not to be feared, the key is her father. One day if we don't know who Liu Mei's lover is, we won't have a peaceful day. You say you, such a big young man, yet not as clever as Nini. I think you've been bewitched by that woman."

  Song Jie heard someone calling her, turned around to look, Zhao's father quickly waved his hand for her to play by herself, Song Jie then lowered her head and continued to tinker, actually a thin layer of sweat had appeared on her back.

  The trouble with Liu Mei has basically been resolved, but it can't be certain that this woman, who is a bit abnormal and whose brain circuitry is not quite the same as others, won't come back again.

  For now, let's just say she doesn't pose a threat, but this matter still needs to be resolved from the root.

  Zhao's father thought quickly and came up with a good idea. He beckoned to Zhao Tong, and the two of them put their heads together, whispering and discussing in hushed tones. Zhao Tong nodded repeatedly as he listened.

  Song Jie's ears were stretched out beside her, but she couldn't hear anything no matter how hard she tried, it was infuriating.

  After listening to Mr. Zhao's idea, Zhao Tong gave a thumbs up in admiration, too admirable, Jiang is indeed an old and spicy one.

  In terms of details, the two men carefully discussed again, striving for no omissions.

  At noon, when they were eating, the father and son duo showed no signs of anything on their faces, with a calm and carefree expression. Song Jie couldn't see any clues at all, so she had to give up her gossiping thoughts. Anyway, it would be known sooner or later, so waiting a little longer didn't matter.

  The next day was the weekend, Zhao Juan took a holiday and went home. As soon as she heard that her mother was hospitalized and Zhao Tong was fired, she was shocked. In just a few days, such big things happened at home, but no one told her, and they kept it from her, which was really too much.

  Zhao Juang sat in her mother's room, fuming with anger. This group of people is really something, don't they even consider themselves family?

  Zhao's mother repeatedly comforted him, saying that she didn't let him tell anyone, and he wasn't seriously ill anyway. He should just go home and focus on his studies, it was no big deal.

  Zhao Juan felt a bit of a headache, and things weren't that big yet. When had her parents ever suffered such humiliation? No wonder when she came back through the streets, people were all pointing and whispering to each other.

  Mr. Zhao rarely goes out, and he and Zhao Tong are not very clear about the situation of their neighbors. After listening to Zhao Juan's words, both of them felt that it would be better to settle this matter as soon as possible, lest they have too many dreams at night.
