Wealthy Beauty in the 60s

As soon as Li Shengmei got home and heard that Dong Meihua had returned, she sneered coldly in her heart and deliberately called out towards Dong Meihua’s room, "Oh, you’re back, why didn’t you just stay there?"

"Will you shut up?" He Hongjun frowned and scolded Li Shengmei. As he got older, He Hongjun had grown to enjoy the quiet, but Li Shengmei just couldn’t be peaceful at home.

Li Shengmei pursed her lips and said nothing more, but she huffed in her heart and walked away.

However, after this incident, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law worsened; no longer were they pretending to be fine on the surface while clashing internally, now they just showed each other cold faces. Li Shengmei often jabbed at Dong Meihua who simply ignored her, just going to work with even more vigor than before.

That day, Wang Xueyong was about to ride his bicycle to the Guangming Production Team, but was caught red-handed by Liu Haihua.

"What are you doing?" Wang Xueyong frowned. Liu Haihua hadn’t shown up for months, and Wang Xueyong had almost forgotten about her. He even breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking it was better that she didn’t come looking for him.

Little did he expect, Liu Haihua showed up looking for him.

"Xueyong," Liu Haihua gave Wang Xueyong a smile.

"I’m busy," said Wang Xueyong as he was about to pedal away on his bicycle.

Of course, Liu Haihua wouldn’t let him go and grabbed the bike saying, "Xueyong, I’m pregnant."

Clang, Wang Xueyong nearly lost his balance and fell off the bike.

Liu Haihua tried to help him but Wang Xueyong pushed her away, glaring at Liu Haihua he said in a low voice, "What do you mean by this?"

"It means I’m pregnant, three months now, and it’s your child."

With those words, Wang Xueyong was shocked and stared at her, "You’re insane." Even if Liu Haihua was really carrying his child, she shouldn’t have kept it, especially at this time. To dare to continue with the pregnancy and even seek him out, what was this woman thinking?

"I didn’t know I was pregnant, you got married, and I told myself to stop seeking you out, but who would have thought I’d end up pregnant, Xueyong, what should I do?" Liu Haihua said, looking flustered.

At this moment, Wang Xueyong was also panicking; he hadn’t expected things to escalate to a ’life-creation’ matter, and now he gritted his teeth and told Liu Haihua, "What can you do, get rid of it quickly, do you have a death wish?"

If this situation came to light, Wang Xueyong didn’t care whether Liu Haihua lived or died, but he could very well be ruined because of this.

"I’m scared, I’m afraid I’ll die, Xueyong, can I just have the baby? I feel it’s a boy," Liu Haihua said.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xueyong’s eyes widened with anger, "You’re out of your mind." This crazy woman, she actually wanted to keep the baby. Now, Wang Xueyong was having murderous thoughts towards Liu Haihua.

"Xueyong, it’s your child, I can’t bring myself to do it," Liu Haihua said with tears.

Wang Xueyong saw her like this and, fearing that others might see them together and suspect something, quickly said, "Let’s leave this place first."

Liu Haihua followed Wang Xueyong and left immediately; the woods were sparsely populated and more secluded. Looking at Liu Haihua’s belly, Wang Xueyong didn’t see it as a child; he saw it as a demon, itching to kick it, to make Liu Haihua miscarry with one blow.

But he had to consider the consequences. Now Wang Xueyong saw clearly that Liu Haihua was a madwoman, a madwoman with no regard for her own life. Killing the child and having Liu Haihua haunt him would be troublesome, and killing Liu Haihua would be trouble for him too.

At this moment, Wang Xueyong’s mind raced with thoughts, yet in the end, he could only try to persuade Liu Haihua to abort the child.

Liu Haihua had no such desire; she wanted to give birth to this child and have Wang Xueyong raise it. If she had the chance, she would just visit the child now and then. Perhaps Gao Guihua wouldn’t live long, and if Wang Xueyong were a widower with a child, she might have an opportunity.

Ever since discovering her pregnancy, ever since she set her heart on having the child, Liu Haihua had been thinking about how to arrange for the child’s life.

"You’ve really gone mad. Haven’t you thought about the consequences of being discovered, you crazy woman? If we’re found out, we’re both doomed. You might want to die, but I have no intention of gambling with my life alongside you." He was powerful now, with a bright future ahead, living comfortably, and had no wish to join Liu Haihua in her madness.

"No, it won’t happen. As long as we’re careful, it won’t happen. When my belly grows, I’ll hide in the mountains. Once I give birth to the child, you can take it home to raise. I won’t bother you again—truly. Xueyong, I just want to give you a child. That alone will satisfy me." Liu Haihua looked at Wang Xueyong with deep affection. "I love you, Xueyong."

Liu Haihua’s tender confession failed to move Wang Xueyong. Instead, it utterly disgusted him, like eating excrement.

"Are you delusional? How can I randomly bring a child home with no explanation? Liu Haihua, you’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you? You want to ruin me. You want me dead." Wang Xueyong exclaimed angrily.

"No, Gao Guihua could get pregnant. When she does, after she gives birth, you can claim it’s twins or a boy-girl set."

Even this had occurred to Liu Haihua.

"So you and Liu Haiguo are not really siblings, but were adopted in this way." Wang Xueyong said mockingly.

"No, not me. My brother and I are truly born to my mother," Liu Haihua replied.

"Fine, you go back first. I’ll think about this. Be careful on your own, and don’t tell anyone else."

Wang Xueyong was considering if he could find a way to kill Liu Haihua without anyone noticing. He needed a faultless plan. Little did he think that Liu Haihua wasn’t stupid. Fearing that Wang Xueyong might harm her child, she said, "My mother and my brother already know."

Her words made Wang Xueyong’s eyes widen, his heart suddenly feeling as though the Liu family had plotted against him, souring his mood even further.

"Did your family plan this against me?" Wang Xueyong glared at Liu Haihua hatefully.

Startled by the malice in Wang Xueyong’s eyes, Liu Haihua hastily shook her head. "No, no. When I was pregnant and vomiting at my parents’ home, my mother and older brother found out. I couldn’t hide it, so I told them. They want me to abort the child, but I want to give birth to your child, our child. Xueyong, please agree. I promise it won’t affect you. I love you so much; I couldn’t bear to see you in trouble."

In the end, Wang Xueyong left. Watching his retreating figure, Liu Haihua felt resolute in her heart. Although she had lied, she did not want to cut ties with Wang Xueyong, nor was she willing to give up on him.

She had once liked Luo Mingzhe, but Luo Mingzhe had Liu Yue by his side. She hadn’t tried to compete, as her father had already arranged for her to marry Ge Lai. Now that she had fallen for Wang Xueyong and was pregnant with his child, she wanted to have this child.

Moreover, with Wang Xueyong’s family’s conditions, her child growing up in the Wangs’ care would receive better opportunities.

At this time, Liu Haihua conveniently ignored the fact that after her relations with Wang Xueyong, she had been with another. Regardless, she firmly believed the child was Wang Xueyong’s.
