Chapter 1308: Chapter 1309: Cannot Accept Chapter 1308: Chapter 1309: Cannot Accept âYes, if Meng Chaojun and Duan Qingqing havenât been living as a married couple for some time, then how did Duan Qingqing get pregnant?â
Chiang Xiao felt somewhat awkward discussing this issue with Meng Xinian.
After all, it was about his father and stepmother.
âThere are only two possibilities.â She held up two fingers and said, âFirst, Duan Qingqing isnât pregnant and is indeed experiencing some kind of physical discomfort. The other reason isâŠâ
That child isnât Meng Chaojunâs.
Meng Xinian didnât need her to say it; he knew it in his heart.
His face suddenly darkened.
Tolerating such a stepmother had already been a reluctant effort, moreover, it wasnât something he could decideâas Duan Qingqing had married Meng Chaojun when he was still young.
Tolerating a half-sibling with the same father was already a matter of helplessness.
But how could he possibly tolerate an unrelated child being born into the Meng Family and assuming the identity of his brother or sister!
âConsidering sheâs unwilling to see a doctor now, the second possibility seems more likely,â Chiang Xiao added.
Meng Xinian scoffed coldly, âWhat audacity.â
If Duan Qingqing wanted to make Meng Chaojun a cuckold, that was none of his business.
That was Meng Chaojunâs own choice.
But if someone tried to force a child, who had no relation to the Meng Family, into the role of his sibling, he would never tolerate it.
âLetâs see what she plans to do first,â Chiang Xiao suggested, also surprised to encounter such a melodramatic situation in the Meng Family.
âMy vacation is almost overâŠâ
Before he could finish, Chiang Xiao interrupted him, âItâs not convenient for you to handle this, and it wouldnât look good if word got out. So, about this matter⊠I will come up with a solution. You should go back when your vacation ends, and for the next couple of days, pretend you know nothing about this.â
She didnât want Meng Xinian, a grown man, to get involved in such affairs, especially when it concerned his father and stepmother.
Besides, he might have his reservations, whereas she wouldnât. Fortunately, she was still on vacation.
Meng Xinian responded with a heavy sigh.
Yet the matter continued to affect his mood.
Duan Qingqing, knowing they had returned, claimed to have migraines and hid in her room.
Nian Mutong also noticed the oppressive atmosphere at home.
She truly didnât understand why her uncle insisted on sending her back to the country and demanded that she live in the Meng Family home.
Although Meng Xinian was exceptionally handsome, and she felt her heartbeat race at first sight, she soon sensed his daunting presence, not the type of man she preferred, because she knew the kind of man she could control, and Meng Xinian was certainly not one of them.
Moreover, she wasnât foolish; she could see that Meng Xinian was truly devoted to Chiang Xiao, and she lacked the confidence to compete with her.
âAunt Qing, Iâve brought you some lean pork porridge. Please open the door.â Nian Mutong called out at Duan Qingqingâs door.
Inside, Duan Qingqing felt nauseous once again at the mention of lean pork porridge.
She was having a hard time of it.
She had longed for a child and now that her wish had come true, it tormented her terribly. She remembered her sister-in-law, Kuang Hong, didnât react this badly during her pregnancy. Now, Duan Qingqing couldnât tolerate the sight or smell of food.
Feeling like she was starving yet unable to stomach anything!
âI donât want it anymore, Xiao Tong. You can take it back down.â
With no alternative, Nian Mutong took the porridge away. Seeing Meng Xinian and Chiang Xiao about to leave, she hurriedly bowed her head to make way, afraid that Meng Xinian might ask her when exactly she planned to move out.
