Chapter 1471: 1471
Chapter 1471: You and my son, get married again .
“Auntie, I’m really fine . ”
“You’re fine, but it’s not the same for the baby in your tummy . Listen to me; drink this soup first and we’ll start dinner . ”
Pei Ge could not decline further and could only force herself to drink the soup . There was still a bit left in the bowl, and Mother Ji encouraged her to finish at one go .
“This is correct; sit down and rest well . Son, stay here and take good care of her . I’ll go to the kitchen and see if the dishes are done . ”
“Mhm . ” Ji Ziming arched a brow, and after his mother left, he said, “A boy or a girl is fine; I only want you and the baby to be well and healthy . ”
“But I’m really not pregnant,” insisted Pei Ge, her exquisite face flushed .
“Even if you aren’t, I’m still happy . ” The man shot her a glance with his deep gaze, and the happiness in his eyes could not be concealed . “Are you hungry?”
His words made her feel as though he were asking whether the baby in her tummy was hungry or not .
She shook her head as her tender hands covered his big hands . “I’m afraid…”
“Don’t be afraid; you have me . ”
He wrapped his big hands around her small ones tightly, unwilling to loosen the grip even by a bit .
He wanted her to be by his side all his life and not to leave or desert him again .
Qu Jingwan looked from upstairs at the two talking on the sofa and the children playing with wooden blocks on the carpet happily . Her eyes glowered at this blissful family .
Her well-defined palm, which was holding the railing, popped with veins . She pinched the ring on her index finger tightly . It was the ring Madam Ji had placed in her hand in Ji Ziming’s name, and now the latter wanted to take back the title of the Ji family’s future daughter-in-law from her . For the sake of this family’s wealth, Qu Jingwan decided to fight back .
After dinner, the older woman brought Pei Ge to the small pavilion in the courtyard behind the mansion . The branches of the Chinese parasol tree swayed with the breeze and some of its leaves fell to the ground, with a few drifting into the pond next to the pavilion . For a moment, many small flowers in the garden started moving with the breeze, too .
“Pei Ge, just listen to me and stay home . If you’re bored, I’ll bring you out for a walk . ” Madam Ji poured a cup of longjing tea . Just as she did, the water flowed onto the floor . “You can’t drink this longjing; I’ll go pour you a cup of something you can drink . ”
“Auntie, you don’t have to busy yourself with anything; I’m not drinking . ” Pei Ge quickly stopped her, and seeing how highly the latter regarded the baby in her stomach, her guilt intensified .
“Alright, alright, alright . I shan’t prepare you any drink; shan’t prepare anything . ” The older woman sat on the stone bench and smiled as she poured herself a cup of longjing .
“Why not choose a date for you and my son to get married again? How about that?”
“Get married?”
“That’s right . You’re now the most important person in the family . I need to take good care of you, as well as our new family member . ”
“But what about Qu Jingwan?”
“She’s Ziming’s future wife in name, but they don’t have mutual love . Instead, my son brings you around—to the hospital and for holidays . You’re practically my family’s daughter-in-law . ”

Although she was shocked to hear the older woman speak about marriage, Pei Ge felt that she could not carry on lying . She got up . The guilt she was feeling caused her to be unable to look at the older woman in the eye . She hesitated before saying, “Auntie, I want to tell you that I’m not pregnant . Your son thought that I’m pregnant, but he’s just making a fuss over a small thing . ”
“You’re not pregnant?” asked the older woman in disbelief .
“I’m really not pregnant . ” She nodded in affirmation .
Madam Ji sat up straight and looked at the woman before her as she thought of what her son had told her when he left home for the office . She also thought of the time when this woman refused to have fish and greasy food on the dining table .
She nodded . “Alright, alright, alright . You’re not pregnant . Come and take a seat . I’m not pressuring you but quickly come take a seat and don’t stand . ”
Qu Jingwan, in her white, knee-length Chanel dress, was standing under the Chinese parasol tree not far from the pavilion . The thick and huge trunk of the tree hid her from view .
She carried rosolio brew from freshly plucked rose petals from the French garden . She wanted to bring it to the older woman quickly but heard this news that she did not wish to hear .
Pei Ge’s pregnancy meant that the day she left this family was not far away . The moment she thought of it, she became anxious . If she were to leave this family now, not only would she not get what she wanted, Qu Qingyu would not let her go, either . On top of that, those ‘sisters’ would be discussing her behind her back .
Can’t! I can never leave the Ji family!
Pei Ge said that she was not pregnant, but Ji Ziming’s mother did not believe it . Could it be that Pei Ge is really not pregnant?
She thought of a plan and left the mansion’s courtyard stealthily . She returned to her room and gave her grandmother a call .

The call was connected quickly, but it seemed that Old Lady Qu had just woken up because she sounded a bit hoarse .
“Jingwan, what’s the matter?”
“Grandma, can you get me some abortion medicine?”
“Abortion medicine? You’re pregnant?”
“No, it’s Pei Ge; she’s pregnant . ”
“She’s pregnant?!” The elderly woman jumped from her reclining chair, and her voice increased by several decibels . “How’s that possible?!”
“The situation is that she’s already pregnant . I need some abortion medicine . I can’t allow her to give birth to a child; if not, I’ll be sent out of this family . You must help me…”
Her sobbing was heard over the phone as she stuttered, “I-I… I really have no other option…”
“Listen to me; don’t be anxious . I’ll go get you some abortion medicine . Steady yourself and don’t do anything way out of line on your end . Be more obedient over the next few days . Very soon, I’ll get people to send you the medicine . ”
The elderly woman’s eyes were dark as she stood in the greenhouse . She reached out to a blooming butterfly orchid in a pot next her and plucked it before smashing its petals . “It’s impossible!”
After hanging up, Qu Jingwan’s heart eased a little .

From the second floor, she could see Madam Ji putting so much effort in assisting Pei Ge . She curled the corners of her lips . Pregnant? I won’t let you succeed in conceiving .
It was slightly later than 1 AM when Old Lady Qu got someone to deliver the abortion medicine .
She slept fitfully . The phone’s vibration sounded exceptionally ear-piercing in the big room, and she was awoken by it at once, her heart skipping a beat when she saw the unknown number on the screen .
“Hello . ”
“Miss Qu, I put the item you want in the rose bushes beside the Ji family’s house’s main entrance . The medicine takes effect very quickly, so you can be at ease . Remember to come take it . ”
The person on the other end grinned and then hung up without giving her a chance to ask anything .
