Chapter 275: Don’t Let Me Leave the Child
Fu Qin soothed Ren Tian back to her room, gently comforting her as she cried terribly, and had the family doctor give Ren Tian a sedative injection. After watching Ren Tian fall asleep, he covered her with a quilt.
As Fu Qin stepped out of the room, he said to Fu Yixian, "Brother Yixian, if not for Ren Tian, your wealth would have been stolen by Fu Yi long ago. Grandpa was already on the verge of giving in; it was Ren Tian who was willing to bear a child for a vegetative person whose fate was uncertain. She did not fear the various threats from Uncle, nor did she choose her former boyfriend whom she had once deeply loved. If you truly disdain her, just give her some money and let her live with the child. Why must you press her like this when she hasn’t even finished her postpartum recovery? Her life has already been hard enough since childhood."
Fu Yixian looked at Fu Qin and said, "The child is already a month old."
Fu Qin said, "The real confinement period is 42 days."
Fu Yixian responded, "Fu Mi and Fu Xiu were the last wishes of my mother on her deathbed. I won’t let Ren Tian take them away."
Fu Qin said, "You might not know, but the day I found Ren Tian, she almost died in Ruohu. She had truly resigned herself to death. It was because she wasn’t afraid of dying that she dared to have your children under the threat from Uncle, risking her life and that of the twins. Think about it carefully, she’s truly pitiful."
Fu Yixian knitted his brows tightly, "Her pitiful situation is not my doing. Her current cognitive abilities, education, and insights are simply not suitable to be the mother of Xiao Xiu and Xiao Mi. I’m not denying her a chance; she just needs to attend an Ivy League abroad and earn a degree. That will be enough for her to qualify as Mrs. Huo."
Fu Qin said, "You make it sound easy, but the three or four years she would miss can’t be made up for, missing every day and night with her children. Don’t push her. I think she is showing signs of postpartum depression. It was hard for her to have two blood relatives, and you insist on separating them. Isn’t it natural for her to cry and make a fuss?"
Fu Yixian looked at Fu Qin displeased, "Since when did you become so charitable?"
Fu Qin said, "I have always been charitable."
