Chapter 227: Soft on the Outside, Tough on the Inside
to give us a chance; my family only thought the kids were cute, and that's why they treated them well. After all, our children are also from the Mo family," said Mo Chen. Gu Baby’s expression turned...Chapter 227: Soft on the Outside, Tough on the Inside
He thought that he would fall in love with Xue Ru, deeply.
Perhaps he already had, but just didn't realize it.
No matter what, he did not want to lose Xue Ru.
This feeling came suddenly, yet felt real.
In the moment of shielding Xiao Nian with his body from a bullet, he thought that if Xiao Nian were gone, Xue Ru wouldn't survive either. Not because he didn't love Xiao Nian, but rather out of love for Xue Ru, he cared for Xiao Nian.
Although he had always told himself that it was due to his feelings for Xiao Nian that he married Xue Ru.
"Your life..." She couldn't stop her tears. Shu Wen竟然說陳雪如是他的生命，她隻是過客。一個過客而已，趙雨凝哭著說道：“唐舒文，你變了心，卻找了這麼冠冕堂皇的理由來騙我，說服你自己，你直接告訴我，你喜歡陳雪如了，你會更變心了，我會更容易接受。”
At least better than him saying that Xue Ru was his life, which would cut her heart deeper.
Incapable of bearing the pain of love
.
Tang Shuwen frowned and then smiled, "If you can truly accept it, I wouldn't mind. Since that's the case, consider me a changed man. Yinguo, I thank you for giving me such happy days in the past, but my future life cannot be spent with you. You're still young; find someone suitable for you and don’t waste your thoughts on me—it’s not worth it."
Zhao Yinguo looked at him coldly and gave a self-mocking smile. "Is this how you treat a woman carrying your child"
"Besides Xueru, I've never allowed such an accident to happen. As for you..." Tang Shuwén paused, and Zhao Yuning's face turned ashen. He smiled faintly and said, "Perhaps there truly is nothing in this world that one can control entirely; accidents will always occur, so life is full of right and wrong, ups and downs."
"What if I insist on having this child" Zhao Yuning asked solemnly.
Under the night sky, Tang Shuwén's face took on a cold look, as if covered by a thin layer of ice. His gaze was calm yet chilling, and Zhao Yuning had never seen this side of Tang Shuwén before, feeling a bit frightened.
Tang Shuwén said, "Yuning, I only acknowledge Xiaoni as my child. If you insist on having this child, I will treat him or her as if they don't exist. The future fate and well-being of the child have nothing to do with me. Why do you insist on bringing pain to your child Have you thought about how this child would be looked down upon once born You yourself said that the Zhao family is a prestigious household; how will you make your child fit in"
"Now, it's you who has forced us to this point. Tang Shuwén, don't try to pin all the blame on me; are you without fault" Zhao Yuning asked sternly. Tang Shuwén paused for a moment; indeed, she was right to hold him accountable, as he had been too confident and caused this accident.
However, having an abortion was the best solution.
A thought of Xueru's words flashed through his mind: every child is a blessing from heaven for their parents.
Sure enough, she always had such kindness and wisdom.
The child is a blessing from heaven; the mistakes made by parents should not be borne by the child. If this child were to be born, it would be an upheaval for both families, whether it's the Zhao family or Tang's family.
His future life wouldn't be easy either; so why allow such a child to come into existence
"If you insist on having this child, there's no point in me doing anything about it. But Yuning, are you sure you truly love this child Perhaps the child is merely a tool for you to achieve your goals. I don't love this child; neither do you. Without parental affection, what purpose does his or her birth serve I understand that having an abortion would be cruel to you, but what else can we do" Tang Shuwén said sincerely.
If he didn't want the child to be born, there were plenty of ways to prevent it; however, enduring this long conversation with Zhao Yuning was merely to make her understand the gravity of the situation. Making a decision herself would be far better than him forcing one upon her.
"I must give birth to him." Zhao Yuning spoke solemnly, her eyes revealing a trace of resentment.
Tang Shuwen sighed; this woman who had always been weak and gentle finally hated him.
"I must give birth to him." Zhao Yuning repeated in a firm voice, her gaze filled with resentment.
Tang Shuwen sighed again; the once delicate lady he knew was now filled with hatred towards him.
Indeed, she had every reason to hate him. After all, his actions were too cruel for her to bear.
The two who used to be in love have come to this point. Truly, it seems that fate is playing tricks on them.
"Since you've made your decision, I won't force you otherwise," Tang Shuwen said coolly, his eyes scanning Zhao Yuning's face. He could still vaguely recognize her features and the charm he once admired.
But things were no longer what they used to be.
Nowadays, he preferred women who combined strength with grace.
This child must not be born under any circumstances.
Rainy Clarity, don't blame me for being ruthless.
He was never someone virtuous or devout. If something threatened his family's safety, he would always take preventive measures to ensure it didn't happen. Therefore, this child will not be born into the world.
Otherwise, there would be a revolution in his family, hurting Xueru and Xiaoni. He wasn't sure if he could bear such consequences.
"Since you're so ruthless, don't blame me for being heartless either. I will give birth to the child and raise him well. I'll tell him who his father is. With us around, neither you nor Chen Xueru can expect happiness. Tang Shuwen, the tenfold pain you inflicted upon me, I shall repay you with eightfold." Zhao Yuning gritted her teeth in hatred, feeling a growing resentment within her heart.
She had once been such a happy woman, but this was where her happiness ended.
From the moment Chen Xueru appeared, her happiness had been on shaky ground. Now it had completely crumbled.
Tang Shuwen pursed his lips as he watched Zhao Yuning. He wasn't pleased with what she said and felt a strange sense of disbelief—when did the lily in his mind become so... venomous
Perhaps, every woman has her venomous side.
Just because you haven't wronged them doesn't mean it isn't there. It simply hasn't been revealed to you.
Xueru, Xueru... Gu Rui had betrayed and hurt her so much. Is there resentment in her heart Only with resentment can there be love; without love, the hatred would dissipate.
"If that's how you feel, I respect your decision," Tang Shuwen said, having made up his mind. If both parties couldn't reach an agreement, there was no point continuing this discussion.
He glanced at the Zhao family and noticed someone watching them from the second-floor balcony since the beginning.
Inwardly sneering, why hide like a thief He knew better than anyone what the Zhao family's intentions were. Although there was some enmity between the Tang and Zhao families, Tang's influence couldn't be ignored. If Zhao Yuning could marry into the Tang family, power, wealth, and past grievances would all be resolved. The parents of the Zhao family sincerely hoped they would get together.
The two had agreed to meet at the entrance of the Zhao residence; there was no reason for them to avoid each other. If they truly loved their daughter, they should have come out by now and punched the scoundrel who hurt her.t. It wasn’t a matter of mortal enmity that would drive them to extremes; it was merely about rendering their supplies useless.It’s estimated that for quite some time, the pirates won't be able to ven...
