Chapter 27 - Cause and effect

"Sister Chuzheng, here!"

After graduating from senior high school, Sanmao and the others failed to get into university. Their families found other ways for them. Today, they invited Chuzheng over to get together. From now on, they probably go their separate ways.

Chu Zheng never expected that when she left, she would run into Ji Tongtong again.

Ji Tongtong was also somewhat taken aback. She called out "Chu Zheng".

"Ji Chu Zheng!"

Ji Tongtong stepped forward. Chu Zheng noticed that she seemed to have gained weight, especially her waist...

Could this be pregnancy?

Yang Xixi's?

Could it be that Yang Xixi is a big shot in women's clothing? It's a bit amazing.

Was that thing done by you? Ji Tongtong's eyes were fixed on Chu Zheng.

Which thing? Chu Zheng asked expressionlessly. She has done too much and doesn't remember either.

"... Yang Xixi. Ji Tongtong gritted her teeth and uttered the name that cast a shadow over her.

"Don't talk nonsense without evidence." Chu Zheng had a serious expression on her face.

Ji Tongtong's expression twisted for a moment. She thought and thought about that matter later on, and it could only be her... And the sudden divorce of her mother and Ji's father must have been her fault as well.

She just couldn't figure out how much Ji Fu had liked her before.

But in such a short period of time, all the previous likes turned into mirages.

She has put in so much effort to please Ji's father over all these years, but in the end, it's all just a joke?

I know it's you. Ji Tongtong was determined: "You must be very happy now, right?"

Ji Tongtong suddenly laughed: "But even so, Brother Meng Ran is still with me, and I'm pregnant with Brother Meng Ran's child."

Without the Ji family, she still has the Meng family. From now on, she will be the young madam of the Meng family.

Chu Zheng's gaze fell upon Ji Tongtong's belly.

Ji Tongtong warily held her stomach and said, "Why are you looking at me like this?"

"Having a baby out of wedlock is amazing." It's no wonder it's a story about a wealthy family. I'm really impressed. But is this kid really Meng Ran's? Doesn't Meng Ran have any psychological shadows?

Ji Tongtong's face turned sour all of a sudden. She wasn't the young lady of the Meng family yet, and even the people of the Meng family didn't know...

Her mother said that as long as she gave birth to a boy, the Meng family would not deny it.

Chu Zheng was too lazy to waste words with her and left around her. Ji Tongtong reached out to stop her, but Chu Zheng stared at her coldly, "You don't want this child anymore?"

Ji Tongtong's heart gave a jolt. Subconsciously, she withdrew her hand to protect her stomach, waiting for Chu Zheng to leave. Damn it, a bitch!

Ji Tongtong returned to her residence and threw her handbag on the ground as if venting.

"Tongtong, what's wrong?"

"Mom." Ji Tongtong called out, "I just met Ji Chuzheng. She..."

Ji Tongtong recounted what had just happened to vent her depression.

Mom, why do you want a divorce? Ji Tongtong was dissatisfied. If it weren't for the divorce, would she have needed this now?

There is a way to solve that matter with Yang Xixi. Why divorce?

Being scolded by her own daughter, Mother Ji was also a little angry, but she held back: "Tongtong, when you marry into the Meng family, you can gradually deal with Ji Chuzheng. Now, take good care of your pregnancy."

If you don't get divorced, do I need to do this? Even if she doesn't get divorced, she is still the young lady of the Ji family now.

How dare you lose your temper with me! Mother Ji couldn't hold back her anger: "You did this yourself. You found someone to force your daughter to do Ji Chuzheng. You did this without consulting me. Do you think you are very capable?"

The main reason why Ji's father divorced her was this.

Ji Tongtong has always been a well-behaved and sensible stepdaughter in his heart.

But suddenly it was discovered that she was not like that. She even had someone deal with her own daughter like that...

"I..." Ji Tongtong's face turned pale. The things she couldn't figure out before were now understood.

She thought of Ji Chuzheng's recording.

Mother Ji was also angry and got up directly to leave.

Ji Tongtong came to her senses and hurriedly went to apologize. She was no longer the stepdaughter of the Ji family. Those who had once surrounded her had now completely vanished without a trace.

-

A few months later, Ji Tongtong gave birth to a boy. Although the Meng family was shocked, Ji Tongtong had given birth to a son for Meng Ran and could not let this son be left to live outside.

Mencius' mother was satisfied with Ji Tongtong before because she was a member of the Ji family.

Although she is the stepdaughter, she is favored.

Ji Chuzheng was like that back then, and she couldn't stand it.

But then that thing happened. Two women... Mencius' mother was feeling extremely frustrated in her heart.

Meng Ran was extremely partial to Ji Tongtong, and Meng's mother only had this one son. Thus, Ji Tongtong moved into the Meng family with her son. Under the pretext of taking care of Ji Tongtong and the child, Ji's mother also moved in with Ji Tongtong.

Meng's mother was not hesitant either, insisting that Meng Ran and that boy undergo a paternity test.

The identification result is quite satisfactory. He is Meng Ran's biological son.

This matter was not a glorious one either, so the Meng family didn't make it public to the world. But for some reason, the circle still knew about it more or less.

There are quite a few people in this circle who get engaged early, but no one has given birth to a child so early.

Mencius' mother was often ridiculed, and as a result, her attitude towards Ji Tongtong was not good either.

For several consecutive days, Mencius' mother was in a bad mood.

"Mother, what's going on?"

When Meng's mother saw Ji's mother holding the child, her expression became even worse. She paid no attention to her and went straight upstairs.

"Mom, is your mother-in-law back?"

"Exactly." Mother Ji nudged her chin towards the upper floor and said, "I don't know where you got angry. Why are you giving me a bad look?"

"Mom, how about I find you a house outside?" Ji Tongtong said.

How about that? Your mother-in-law will look after the children for you. This child is hard-won and must be taken good care of.

Ji Tongtong thought about it and agreed, so she didn't mention it again.

When Meng Ran came back from school, Ji Tongtong told him that he was going to school. Meng Ran readily agreed, but unexpectedly, Meng's mother objected, saying that since she had already given birth, she should stay at home and take good care of the child.

Ji Tongtong felt wronged. Meng Ran couldn't persuade Meng's mother either. In the end, he could only comfort her and tell her to stay at home properly.

However, unexpectedly, when the child was one year old, he suddenly fell ill and was sent to the hospital with a critical condition notice.

Because Ji Tongtong was not very old when she gave birth to the child, the child's physical condition was not very good.

This illness led to the child's death.

Without a child, there would be no support. Mencius' mother felt that it was she who seduced her own son, led her son astray, and opposed her. At home, she never gave her a good look.

Meng Ran was caught in the middle, with no one on either side, and his grades kept dropping.

"Ji Tongtong, I said I wouldn't eat red beans. What did you get for me?"

Meng Mu pushed the bowl towards Ji Tongtong.

Ji Tongtong stood by the side, looking aggrieved and said, "Mom, you didn't say..."

You can't even take good care of a child. What use do you think you have? Don't think I don't know that you are using every means to seduce my son. Let me tell you, you and my son haven't obtained a marriage certificate...

Ji Tongtong pinched the hem of her dress, her drooping eyelashes blocking the hatred at the bottom of her eyes.

Mencius' mother became more and more enthusiastic as she spoke.

Meng Ran came down from upstairs, frowning and saying, "Mom, what are you doing?"

"Brother Meng Ran." Ji Tongtong looked over with her eyes dripping with pear blossoms and said, "It's my fault. I didn't hear my mom tell me not to eat red beans."

Meng Ran saw Ji Tongtong crying and felt heartbroken. "Mom, when did you stop eating red beans?" Don't make things difficult for Tongtong.

Meng Mu: "..."

Mencius' mother, having been betrayed by her own son, was so angry that she couldn't even eat breakfast. She glared at Ji Tongtong and left in a huff.
