Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

“The hospital.” Li Manni walked past her own mother, not expecting her to come along. Evidently, they were both disappointed in each other. Without Chu Lui, she had no social status here.

Mrs. Li didn’t say anything more, and her butt didn’t move from its place at all. “Are you getting another check-up? What a waste of money.”

Li Manni gave no response. She simply picked up her bag and headed to the hospital.

“Have you really decided? The child is already close to eleven-months-old, a perfectly healthy kid.” The doctor advised Li Manni. “You must also understand that this child is already very big. If you abort the child now, it will definitely have a considerable impact on your body. Why don’t you reconsider? After all, it’s still a life. After a few weeks, you will already be able to feel the baby’s movements.” The doctor spoke periodically.

His words made Li Manni’s expression abnormally somber. She wasn’t a cruel woman; it was not that she didn’t feel anything towards the child. Every day, she found it harder for herself to part with it. After all, the child was still her own flesh and blood even if she didn’t want it. However, she wasn’t Xia Ruoxin; she didn’t have that much courage to go through life with a child who wasn’t welcomed by others.

That’s why she had to abort it; she definitely had to abort it.

“Abort it. I don’t want it.” After she finished speaking, she closed both of her eyes and placed her fingers on her abdomen. She wanted to feel her child because, in a moment, he was going to disappear; and all her shame was going to be washed away with him.

She lay on the cold operation table, soullessly opening her eyes wide. She felt the coldness of the equipment enter her body, and at that moment, she nursed a strong grievance. What she didn’t have, other people shouldn’t be allowed to have them as well. The things that she had lost, what right did other people have to obtain them? Especially that Xia Ruoxin. It was all that woman’s fault. Yes. It was all Xia Ruoxin’s fault. How could a woman like Xia Ruoxin be able to have the Chu family’s child

-the child of the man she loved-while her child could only ever be a bastard’s child?

She wasn’t going to accept this; she really wasn’t going to accept this.

She lost her consciousness within all that hate and was met with darkness while she was in fear. By the time she woke up again, her abdomen had returned to normal; and her stomach felt empty. Something was missing. It was her child, and that child was already gone. He was dead.

She sat up. The pain in her lower body reminded her of the child’s departure. The child had lost its life, and right now, she was no longer a mother.

She stood up without resting, enduring the pain between her two legs. She walked out of the hospital until a shadow blocked her path. She lifted her head, and an intense hatred flashed through her eyes the moment she saw the man standing in front of her.

It’s him. It was actually him.

“Mi Dongfeng, why did you wreck me? Why did you have to give me those medications? Why did you have to ruin my happiness?” She couldn’t help but want to eat his flesh and drink his blood. It was all this damned man’s fault, all his.

“I was seeking revenge; who asked you to be Chu Lui’s woman? You blame me, but really I was only helping you.” Mi Dongfeng smiled a blood-curdling smile. He reached out his fingers and placed them under Li Manni’s chin. However, Li Manni immediately slapped his fingers away. She found it disgusting.

Mi Dongfeng nonchalantly clapped his hands together in response. “What I wanted was for Chu Lui to die without having any children. I guess I was also lucky to have you to help me carry out my plans perfectly.

“I have also finally gotten my revenge. Chu Lui ruined my company, made me lose my wife, and made my wife have to abort my child. That’s why I had to make Chu Lui have a taste of his own medicine, and it had to be doubled.”

After saying so much, an extremely thick sense of hatred erupted in his eyes.

“That’s why I still have to thank you. If it wasn’t for you, how could I have taken such successful revenge?”

He lowered his head, sneering while looking at Li Manni. There was something in his eyes that made Li Manni feel disgusted. “Right, I came here to look for my son. Has he been good?” The man’s eyes moved towards Li Manni’s abdomen. “Tsk, I really missed your smell. I think about it even in my dreams.”

Li Manni laughed coldly. Right now, she wasn’t that Li Manni of the past who was afraid of things happening. She had nothing to fear now anyway; she had already lost everything. As if she was still going to be afraid of him exposing her lies.

“That’s right, the child in my stomach was yours.” Li Manni smiled in an extremely charming manner. However, her smile was also extremely cold. “But, just now, I aborted it.” Just as she finished speaking, Mi Dongfeng gripped her neck tightly, and his eyes were bloodshot. He looked just like an enraged beast.

“How could you abort my child!? How could you kill my child!?” He was so infuriated that he was practically about to crack Li Manni’s neck.

Li Manni forcefully kicked him just nice, hitting him in the groin. The man quickly released his grip from the pain, but his eyes were still staring deadly at the woman in front of him.

Li Manni supported her neck and gently turned her head. A crazed smile plastered on her face.

“Why can’t I abort it? It’s nothing more than a bastard’s child. You used my body to take revenge, but I never said that I would give you my womb. Moreover, what right do you have to assume that I would give birth to thechild of a man like you? Did you really think that ILi Manni-was so kind?”

As she spoke, her face was filled with disdain. “Didn’t you say you wanted Chu Lui to die without having children? Well, don’t forget. Chu Lui’s family line has yet to be severed. He still has a daughter, and she’s already three-years-old.

“You talk about revenge, but have you actually achieved it?”

The look of pain on Mi Dongfeng’s face increased, and the hate in his eyes thickened. How could Chu Lui have a child? He didn’t even have a child so how could that man have one?

Li Manni’s lips curled up a little, the kindness from before disappearing. That look of malice could even make people’s hair stand.

Du Jingtang placed Rainy down and carefully reminded her again: “Don’t run around, okay. Uncle’s going to go buy you some food.” He lovingly rubbed Rainy’s soft hair. It was so hard for him to get time with this little fella. Of course, he was going to carry her as often as he could.

Once again, Chu Jiang stood at the entrance of the nursery. For unknown reasons, Chu Jiang felt a sudden barrier between him and the nursery. Forget it, he admitted defeat. As long as he knew that he still had a granddaughter, that was enough for him.

Rainy lowered her head and looked at her small feet. She didn’t call Chu Jiang ‘Grandpa’ anymore. Chu Jiang felt a little hurt. This child had originally matured at a young age; it seemed like the disputes amongst adults had let her understand something.
