Can’t Take My Eyes Off You

Jiang Yao had used her x-ray vision to see the condition of the woman’s stomach—it was a healthy baby girl.

The Lu family would love to have a son, but they would most likely be disappointed in a few months.

​ 

Jiang Yao stood up and walked toward the door. She glanced at the Chen family members in the courtyard; they shivered as they pleaded for mercy. Then, she stood beside Lu Xingzhi and said, “Chen Lanying, that child is your flesh and blood, a baby you carried for nine months. Even though the child is sick, medical science is getting more advanced. If discovered early, the cure rate for many diseases is very high. The child is a gift from heaven. You shouldn’t abandon him.”

Jiang Yao looked at Chen Lanying, who had looked more haggard than before, and continued to persuade her. “I’ll give you a chance to bring the child home and raise him. If you don’t want to go to jail, I can persuade my husband that you’d raise the child properly. Perhaps the child will bring you unexpected luck in the future.”

Jiang Yao did not go too far. If Chen Lanying still had some affection for the baby, then she might not have a hard time in the future.

First of all, Chen Lanying had a job, so she did not have to worry about raising a child.

The mistress was pregnant with a girl. Since Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu wanted a grandson, they would definitely want Chen Lanying’s son when that woman’s daughter was born. They would cherish him more after he had recovered from his illness.

That woman had entered the Lu family under the pretext of carrying a baby boy. That woman’s identity might not even be clean. Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu would never like that woman. As for whether Lu Weihua would divorce her because of that woman’s deceit, that was another matter.

If it were Jiang Yao, she would not abandon her child. No matter how difficult it was, she would raise the child well. When the child grew up and had a future, it would be too late for the Lu family to regret their decision.

However, Jiang Yao’s persuasion did not seem to be able to convince Chen Lanying. Even Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen did not listen to her at all.

“You are not me; how would you know my difficulties? Putting aside the fact that I don’t have the money to treat the child’s illness, I am a woman with a son. How am I going to get married in the future? I am still so young. I can’t stay by my son for the rest of my life, right?” Chen Lanying sobbed softly. “There’s really nothing I can do except to keep the child in the orphanage. The child’s father doesn’t even want him anymore. What can I do? I’m just a woman. How can I raise a child by myself?”

Jiang Yao stood there and sneered at the other woman. How could she not? She was unwilling. To put it bluntly, Chen Lanying was selfish. She was afraid that the child’s existence would become a burden to her.

Jiang Yao felt that she had given Chen Lanying a chance. She had already tried to persuade her, but the other party did not listen. There was nothing she could do.

Therefore, Jiang Yao turned to Lu Xingzhi and said, “Come back after you’ve sent them away. It is too cold out here.”

Not only did she feel sorry for Lu Xingzhi, who was at the door to endure the cold wind, but she was also too lazy to bother with that selfish family. Chen Lanying had done those things behind the Chen family’s back. Chen Lanying should be ashamed to meet Lu Xingzhi’s family. She did not expect her to go there so shamelessly.
