CHAPTER 183: 182: FALLING OUT (1ST UPDATE) REQUESTING MONTHLY TICKETS

Bai Hehua never expected that when Lin Tao previously saw her and approached closely, upon hearing that she was pregnant, he reacted as if she had some contagious disease, instantly stepping several paces away, as if fearful it might affect him. Just that glance chilled Bai Hehua’s heart.

"What do you think we should do now?" In the end, Bai Hehua was still somewhat unwilling to give up. Although she had foreseen the outcome from this man’s actions, she couldn’t help but ask.

"Hehua, could there be some mistake? We only did it that one time, how could you be pregnant?" Lin Tao spoke, causing Bai Hehua’s anger to almost make her cough up blood.

"So you’re saying this child isn’t yours? If you don’t believe me, I can have the baby, and then we can see who the child resembles or do a blood test. That’s always possible, right?" Bai Hehua, shedding her usual timidity, stared directly at Lin Tao, yet her heart was already dead.

In her heart, she regretted that she gave herself so easily, letting the man in front of her look down on her. No wonder he wouldn’t believe her. They only spent a few days together, and she gave herself away after just one meal. In this man’s eyes, she naturally seemed like a casual woman.

Seeing the irresponsible manner of the man before her, Bai Hehua also regretted being too impulsive. In comparison, neither saying it’s better than Shen Bin who said nothing but at least was reliable. The last time in the company, she asked him not to say anything first, and Shen Bin just did that.

Comparing the two now, Bai Hehua naturally knew which was better.

"Hehua, don’t be impulsive. I didn’t mean that." Lin Tao only felt a headache, never imagining that a single mistake would result in such a situation. His previous panic had already subsided, "Hehua, you know that if your pregnancy gets out, it’ll be a question of conduct for both of us, and we’d lose our jobs. I’m taking over my dad’s position, and if I lose the job, even if we’re together, how will we live? You’re just a temporary worker, so right now it’s better to look long-term. You should abort the child first, and then I’ll talk to my family about us, have my mom propose to your great aunt’s house, and have children after marriage. It’s natural, plus we keep our jobs. Don’t you think so?"

"It’s early now, so even if you tell your family to propose to my great aunt’s house now, we can still keep it under wraps." Bai Hehua pressed on.

Actually, without Lin Tao saying anything, Bai Hehua didn’t want to be with the man in front of her. Once things went wrong, he immediately wanted to distance himself. If they truly ended up together, they wouldn’t be happy. Although Bai Hehua was from the countryside, she was shrewd. Though her nature was weak, life forced her to not be strong.

"Hehua, you’re only seventeen. You have to be eighteen to get married. Besides, my parents don’t want me to marry too early; they want me to stabilize my position for two more years before marrying, so they wouldn’t agree." Lin Tao said this while taking out ten yuan from his pocket, "Take this money first. Tomorrow I’ll ask my sister for more, and you can take the time to go to the hospital and abort the child, and then we’ll plan long term."

Bai Hehua took the money, glanced at Lin Tao, and turned to walk towards the company canteen. Naturally, this child couldn’t be kept. And Lin Tao’s money, Bai Hehua wouldn’t refuse; otherwise, it would be even cheaper for him. The next day, Lin Tao came, and with him was his sister Lin Changwan, who worked in the same company since taking over their mother’s position.

After Bai Hehua found Lin Tao yesterday, Lin Tao panicked. Growing up spoiled by his family, he had never encountered such a situation, so he went directly to his sister and told her everything. Lin Changwan had been married for three years, with her two-year-old child looked after by her mother. After hearing from her brother, she scolded him and then the next day joined him in finding Bai Hehua.

The three of them found a place without people to talk. Lin Changwan looked down on Bai Hehua with half an eye, "Such a nice young girl, how could you do such shameless things? I took the afternoon off, so I’ll take you to the hospital to abort the child. From now on, stay away from my brother. If you really cause my brother to lose his job, well, your great aunt’s house is in such a nice courtyard. We’ll see who gets embarrassed then."

Bai Hehua lowered her head and said nothing. Lin Changwan continued, "You came from the countryside and don’t know the city’s rules. If you go to the hospital by yourself, they wouldn’t do it without a company’s signature. If it weren’t for helping my brother, I wouldn’t care about your business. You’d have to solve it yourself."

Lin Tao was afraid of provoking Bai Hehua, so he secretly tugged at his sister. Lin Changwan then fell silent, "Go pack up, I’ll ask for leave at the company and get a signature, and meet me at the company entrance."

Bai Hehua said nothing, just turned and left.

Seeing her like that, Lin Changwan scolded her brother, "Look at what kind of wood you found. Be honest from now on."

Lin Tao agreed without hesitation.

Lin Changwan, being married, simply lied to the unit that she needed an abortion due to the country’s family planning policy. They naturally didn’t question further, immediately signing and stamping the leave for Lin Changwan. When Lin Changwan reached the company entrance, she saw Bai Hehua waiting for her. Even though she didn’t look favorably upon her, she did think that this temperament was easy to handle, so she didn’t say much. They both got on the bus to the hospital.

Bai Hehua had never suffered such pain. When she came out of the treatment room, she was ghostly pale, clutching her stomach as she sat on a hospital bench. Seeing her like this, Lin Changwan didn’t say anything harsh, just sat for a while, glanced at her watch, and then urged them to leave.

Bai Hehua was just starting to recover, yet she still looked sick as she left the hospital with Lin Changwan, running into Ye Zhenfen at the entrance. Upon seeing Bai Hehua’s pale face, Ye Zhenfen asked, "Is Hehua sick?"

Bai Hehua had seen Ye Zhenfen before, though they’d never spoken. Meeting her here, she was too startled to know what to say. Lin Changwan stepped in to help explain, "Does Auntie know Hehua? Well, I came for an abortion, and Hehua came along to keep me company. We’re from the same unit. Who knew it would scare her so much?"

Ye Zhenfen had come to visit a friend, not expecting to run into Bai Hehua. Regarding her views on Bai Hehua, she genuinely had mixed feelings. While she didn’t quite approve, given Shen Bin’s situation, finding a young girl that suited him wouldn’t be easy.

After hearing Lin Changwan’s explanation, Ye Zhenfen nodded, "A young girl like you wouldn’t have seen such things before. Oh, how are things going between you and Shen Bin? I’ve been busy and didn’t have the chance to ask about you two."

Lin Changwan’s eyes flickered, and she smiled, "Oh, Hehua has a boyfriend. How come you never mentioned it? You’re keeping quite the secret."(To be continued.
