Chapter 84 Lost Money
Ouyang Xuan’s gaze paused after hearing Mother Gu’s words, and he tightened his grip on Mother Gu’s hand, saying, "Auntie, they say that having an abortion is bad for one’s health. Besides, Grandma Gu values the child you’re carrying so much. If this time it’s a boy, maybe Grandma Gu won’t favor Ah Jiao anymore. Wouldn’t that fulfill your long-held wish?"
"I... what wish..." Mother Gu’s chapped lips moved slightly as she looked at Ouyang Xuan and said, "Ah Jiao is ultimately my daughter. I don’t like her, but that doesn’t mean I hate her."
"See, Auntie, even you said you don’t like her. Only I know, the ones you truly love are always me and Qingqing, right?" Ouyang Xuan’s tone was light, but a layer of cold sweat appeared on Mother Gu’s forehead.
Mother Gu bit her lip, glanced at Ouyang Xuan, and said in a trembling voice, "But I heard that... having a child at my age can easily lead to deformities."
Ouyang Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Deformities? That won’t happen, Auntie, you’re overthinking it."
Even if it were a deformity, at that point, Father Gu would only feel more guilty. So there’s no need to think too much into it. By then, won’t the Gu Family still be in the palm of the Ouyang Family’s hand?
Light reflected off the lenses on Ouyang Xuan’s nose, casting an eerie gleam.
Mother Gu still wanted to say something, but seeing the displeasure on Ouyang Xuan’s face, she swallowed her words, touched her still flat belly, and let Ouyang Xuan help her out.
Meanwhile, on Gu Fuqiao’s side, after the traditional Chinese medicine doctor checked Chen Bajin’s pulse, she was told, "Your blood and energy are much better than when you first came here, but there’s still quite a bit of coldness in your body."
Hearing the word "coldness," Chen Bajin was a bit worried and quickly asked, "Doctor, do I still need to continue drinking traditional medicine?"
