Pretending vs. sincere || Mature adults
For the money, Jiang Lingluo secretly used a microneedle to poke a hole in the condom.
She was betting once. If she won, she'd demand a few million from Chang Shijing and then run away.
If she lost, well... she'd figure something else out.
And she really did win the bet. She got pregnant.
Jiang Lingluo promptly took her ultrasound results to Chang Shijing.
As expected, Chang Shijing was only stunned for a moment before making a decision.
"Do you want to keep it? If not, get an abortion."
Jiang Lingluo pretended to be reluctant and asked in a sweet, delicate voice, "How are you going to make it up to me?"
Chang Shijing replied, "Didn't you say you'd had your eye on a bag?"
A bag? How much could one bag be worth?
Jiang Lingluo immediately turned on the waterworks. She said she loved him and couldn't bear to lose the baby.
In the end, Chang Shijing agreed.
Jiang Lingluo knew Chang Shijing didn't believe in marriage. His agreeing to the child's birth and to giving her a long-term source of income meant something.
Jiang Lingluo said she wanted to go to the US early in her pregnancy so the child could get a green card, and asked Chang Shijing to transfer a year's worth of prenatal expenses all at once.
Chang Shijing transferred the money without hesitation. At the same time, he also gave her a house.
Then, the day after the house was transferred into her name and the money arrived, Jiang Lingluo returned to China and had an abortion.
But on the night Jiang Lingluo was discharged from the hospital, she saw the man standing downstairs from her rental apartment, and her heart clenched.
Chang Shijing stood by the back of a car, staring at her with a cold expression.
"You had an abortion?"
Jiang Lingluo nodded.
"Two million and a house. Is that all my child was worth?"
