Three days later, Ming Shu received the news that An Keke was expelled from the school.
Yu Yuan was sent overseas by his family. She didnât know what An Keke said to Pei Jin, but Pei Jin didnât give up on her.
After this happened, the Pei family didnât allow him to go out with An Keke anymore.
To prevent Pei Jin from having any interactions with An Keke, they stopped him from going to school.
Pei Jin resisted against his family. He ran away himself and lived outside with An Keke.
The Pei family was so angry they cut off his card.
Once there was no money in his hand, everything got tight. Pei Jin couldnât get used to it. He was really extravagant in the past.
Ever since he was young, he never lacked money. Hence, when he ran away from home this time, he realized that he was just a nobody.
However, he didnât want to bow down to his family.
He didnât want to admit that his decision was wrong.
In order to prove it to them, Pei Jin rejected his familyâs request to end his relationship with An Keke. He tried to find ways to get money himself. However, based on his spending patterns, it was not enough at all.
His brothers that he always hung out with didnât want to help him when he looked for them.
âBrother Pei, it is not that we donât want to help you. Itâs your family... if we help you, we will get into trouble.â
âBrother Pei, isnât it just a woman? Is it worth it? If you recognize your mistake and go back, you can have all kinds of women.â
These people all said the same thing over and over again. There were only a few people who could really help him.
Pei Jinâs mood got worse as the days went by.
An Keke didnât have a good time, either. After all, in school, Yu Yuan and Pei Jin pampered her. Even if she didnât ask for it, they would give it to her.
However, she needed to face an ill-tempered Pei Jin...
Pei Jin was domineering. Before, she could find Yu Yuan for help after she was bullied by Pei Jin. Now, she could only bear with her grievances herself.
âOu...â
An Keke ran to the toilet. She leaned against the basin and retched.
After a while, she turned on the tap and rinsed her mouth.
She frowned slightly. What was happening... she felt like vomiting these few days.
She was not sick either.
Just that her period...
No...
A thought flashed past An Kekeâs mind. She went out hurriedly and bought a pregnancy test kit from the pharmacy. When she saw the two red lines on the pregnancy test, her hand shook. The pregnancy test fell onto the floor.
Pregnant.
She was pregnant...
Why was she pregnant?
Knock knock!
An Keke heard the knock on the door and immediately picked up the pregnancy test. She threw the kit into the dustbin and hid it under some toilet paper. Then, she ran out and opened the door.
âA-Jin, you...â
An Keke paused.
It was not Pei Jin.
It was Pei Jinâs mother.
Mother Pei was dressed up like a lady of high society. She pushed An Keke away and walked directly into the house. âAiyoh, look at this. My son is actually living in such a place. Since he was young, he never experienced such suffering.â
An Keke gritted her teeth and closed the door. She poured a glass of water for Mother Pei, but Mother Pei didnât take it. An Keke placed the glass on the coffee table.
Mother Pei looked around the house critically and sat on the sofa. âMiss An, take a seat.â
She acted as though she was the owner of the house.
An Keke sat beside her in a reserved manner. âAunt Pei.â
âI will not beat around the bush with you. I donât know what method you used to make my son treat you whole-heartedly, but he is the heir of the Pei family. He cannot be with you.â
âI...â
Mother Pei raised her hand and stopped An Keke. âI have investigated you. Your family has some assets but you are an illegitimate daughter. Although the An family raised you, they donât care much about you. Hence, you are definitely not the right person for my son. If you want to climb up the social ladder, you got the wrong person.â
An Keke pinched her fingers. âI donât want to climb up the social ladder. A-Jin and I got together because we love each other.â
Mother Pei sneered and took out an empty check from her bag. âGive me a price. Leave my son.â
This typical scene in a television drama appeared right in front of An Kekeâs eyes.
She was an illegitimate daughter, but she was still the daughter of the An family. She was not a Cinderella that had nothing at all. How could she treat her like this?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âAuntie, you are humiliating me.â An Keke looked at Mother Pei stubbornly. âIf you are here to talk to me about this, Iâm sorry. I will not agree to it.â
âLittle girl, donât be too greedy.â Mother Peiâs tone was not polite. âSomeone like you doesnât deserve my son.â
âA-Jin likes me. I like him. That is enough.â
âYou are not compatible with my son. The Pei family will not have an illegitimate daughter in our family. You can still take some money now. Donât lose more than you can gain.â
âIâm pregnant.â
The living room suddenly turned quiet.
Mother Pei looked at her in disbelief. Her gaze shifted to her stomach.
An Keke got up and took the pregnancy test kit from the toilet.
Mother Pei looked as though she ate a fly. She had nowhere to release her anger.
â
Mother Pei felt really gloomy. She talked on her phone as she walked: âThat little bitch An Keke is actually pregnant. How? Shall we take her back? Her? You are letting someone like her marry into the Pei family? What about Jin-erâs child? He wonât have any in the future. He is still so young...â
Someone walked toward her. Mother Pei lowered her voice.
The person walked slowly. There was an extra-large potato chip bag in her hand. She was eating the potato chips as she walked.
Just as the two of them were crossing each otherâs path, Mother Pei heard a pleasant voice speaking beside her ear.
âYou donât know who the childâs father is.â
Mother Pei twisted her head in shock. The girl left at a steady pace.
She walked farther and farther away as if she didnât say those words.
Ming Shu was planning to beat An Keke, but she heard Mother Pei saying that she was pregnant. Hence, she had no choice but to get rid of this thought. If she got a miscarriage due to her beating, she couldnât afford the consequences.
Ming Shu turned and walked in another direction. She wanted to go back to school. Before she could take two steps, the boss called her.
âHello, little bastard, where are you?â
âYama Road,â Ming Shu replied tiredly. Her potato chips were finished. Sad.
The boss was puzzled. Why is she not guarding her food at the supermarket? Why did she go to Yama Road?
This was not the main point. The boss hurriedly said, âI will send you a location. Hurry up and come over. Arrive within half an hour.â
âFor what?â
âI will buy snacks for you.â
âOh, okay.â
The boss hung up. Ming Shuâs WeChat sounded. The location was slightly far from her but if that road wasnât jammed, arriving there in half an hour shouldnât be a problem.
Just as Ming Shu was going to flag a taxi, Bei Tangâs call came in.
âAre you all queuing up to call me?â Ming Shu muttered and answered the call.
âWhere are you?â Bei Tangâs voice was imposing.
âWhatâs happening?â
âBe aware of your surroundings. Donât let anyone come near you. Find a safe place and hide there. Send me the address. I will come over immediately.â Bei Tang didnât speak any nonsense in the call.
Ming Shu heard what he said but didnât look around her. She put down her hand and walked toward a shop not far away.
She didnât hang up either. She smiled. âDid they come for you again? Teacher Bei Tang, are you trying to kill me? Will you be unhappy if you donât kill me? I have to take such a huge risk to be with you. I think that we should just break up.â
Break... break up your head! No way! No directions! Nothing at all. Donât even think about it!
âI asked you not to run around...â The person on the other end controlled his desire to shout and forced his character profile back. âDonât let anyone get near you. Not even a child. As long as it is a human, donât let them near you!â
