Chapter 571: The Person Who Got Her Pregnant (1)

As a mother, she understood her daughter, whom she had raised since she was a baby, very well.

Although Su He came from the Su family, she was a meek person by nature. Besides, they had disciplined her well. As such, she could not possibly get pregnant before marriage.

Moreover, Su He might have become pregnant, but her parents had never heard of their daughter having an official relationship with anyone.

Furthermore, her daughter was very well-behaved ever since she was young. She obeyed her and told her everything. She had not expected Su He to actually hide such a serious matter from her.

Jiang Wenfang pondered it over before she came up with the one and only possible explanation: her precious daughter had been cheated on, or someone had even forced himself upon her!

Darn it! How dare the person bully her daughter in such a way?! The person was just asking for death! She would certainly rip the person to shreds when she found him!

Su Jifeng felt a chill creeping down his spine under his mother’s stare. He grinned. Just when he was about to reveal the person, he was interrupted by Su He once again. “Mother, this is my own problem. It has nothing to do with Jifeng or anyone else! Don’t blame Jifeng for this. If..”

Su He looked down and closed her eyes. She did not have the courage to look the crowd in the eyes as she said in a hoarse voice, “If you think.. If you think that my child and I are putting you to shame, I will move out of this house with the child. I won’t.. I won’t..”

“What on earth are you talking about?!” Before Su He finished her words, Jiang Wenfang had interrupted her.

Su He’s entire body grew rigid. Her eyes were wide open as she stared at Jiang Wenfang.

Jiang Wenfang looked at her daughter coolly. “You were inside my belly for nine months, and it has taken great pains for me to deliver you out of my womb. Besides, I painstakingly raised you. If someone dares to talk bad about you, I would give my all to fight him. How could you possibly have brought shame to us? The child inside your belly is your own flesh and blood, and isn’t the child my grandchild as well? Your father and I would not stand by and watch you and your child run to who-knows-where.”

“Mother..” Su He’s eyes turned red upon hearing Jiang Wenfang’s words.

“However, Xiao Qi, you’re at least four to five months pregnant, aren’t you? We really have to punish you for keeping your pregnancy a secret from me, your father, and grandfather for so long.”

When Su He and Su Jifeng heard Jiang Wenfang’s words, their hearts clenched once more. When Zhao Youlin saw this, she quickly seized the opportunity and cut in, “Aunt Wenfang, Xiao He is pregnant. Moreover, she was involved in an accident not long ago and nearly lost her child. As such, Xiao He’s health has suffered greatly, and she has yet to fully recover. It’s very dangerous if she continues to kneel on the floor. If you want to speak with her, have Xiao He stand up and speak with you.”

“What? An accident?! What happened?! Xiao Qi was injured and almost lost her child?!” Jiang Wenfang’s face turned as white as sheets. As a woman, of course, she was well aware of the harm it caused to a woman who nearly suffered from a miscarriage.

Without giving it a second thought, she helped Su He up from the floor in a flurry of motion. She sized Su He up several times. Deep lines appeared between her eyebrows.

Su Liqiang and the former master of the Su family were quietly watching by the side. Their expressions had turned dark. Their eyes were like searchlights as they scanned Su He.

“Mother, I’m fine. You don’t have to worry about me.” Su He was moved by Jiang Wenfang’s action. She shook her head as she comforted her.

Jiang Wenfang did not buy her words. She turned around and pointed at Su Jifeng with her finger. “Jifeng, tell me! I asked you to take care of your younger sister, and this is what happened? You almost lost your future nephew, and your sister even got hurt. Most importantly, you didn’t even inform us. What if something truly bad happens to Xiao Qi? We won’t even be able to see her one more time! Well, aren’t you just amazing?!”

Su Jifeng’s entire body shook. Under his mother’s icy gaze, he felt miserable.

“Mother, I know this is my fault. I did not do enough to protect Xiao Qi. But this..” Su Jifeng’s voice grew increasingly faint and in the end, he sounded like he was whispering, “But you can’t put all the blame on me. I’m not the main culprit who got Xiao Qi pregnant.”

“What the hell did you say?! If you dared commit such a horrible deed, I’ll shoot you now!”

A crisp sound rang out along with Jiang Wenfang’s complaint. “I told you not to curse. Are you deaf?! Did you turn a deaf ear to what I was saying?!”

Su Jifeng fell speechless.

The surrounding crowd was speechless.

Zhao Youlin thought to herself. ‘What a messy family!’

Everyone was stunned when Jiang Wenfang slapped Su Liqiang.

Just then, the former master who had remained silent all this while finally spoke up. He observed Su Jifeng, Zhao Youlin, and Mu Tingfeng with his cunning eyes. “Help Xiao Qi to the couch. Then, tell me what happened.”

Zhao Youlin and the rest of her group shuddered at his words. They exchanged glances with one another and noticed a trace of anxiety in their eyes. They were all aware that the moment the former master raised the issue, the main show was about to start, and they had no place to hide from him.

“Ahem.. I believe it’s best to let Su Jifeng speak on the subject.” Once everyone was seated, Zhao Youlin shamelessly pushed the responsibility to Su Jifeng.

The next moment, everyone gathered their attention on Su Jifeng. The corners of Su Jifeng’s lips twitched. He belatedly realized that it had been a mistake to find Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng to be his assistants!

Su Jifeng gulped with difficulty under the pressure of the crowd’s stare. He cleared his throat and said, “We should start from the beginning. Father, Mother, do you remember what happened at Xiao Qi’s eight-year-old birthday party? We’ve had a lot of people over to our house. The servant who was assigned to look after Xiao Qi did not pay attention to her and let her run outside alone. When we learned about it, we were so worried that we searched every nook and cranny of the villa for her. In the end, Tingfeng was the one who took her back to us.”

“Yes, I remember that incident.” Jiang Wenfang turned her head around and exchanged glances with Su Liqiang and the rest of her group. “Does this have anything to do with the child inside Xiao Qi’s womb?”

“Of course it does. In fact..”

“Jifeng!” When Su He heard the latter half of his speech, she could already figure out what Su Jifeng was about to say. She could not help but shout loudly, intending to stop Su Jifeng from saying anything else.

Jiang Wenfang and the rest of her group froze upon hearing Su He’s abrupt scream. When they recovered from their shock, Jiang Wenfang had an unusually strict expression on his face and said solemnly to her, “Xiao Qi, shut up! Jifeng, continue.”

Originally, she thought that the reason Su He did not tell them about her pregnancy was due to fear and panic. However, when she saw Su He in her current state, apart from looking fearful and nervous, she noticed something she had not expected from Su He.. Could it be.. that she had been thinking in the wrong direction since the beginning, and Xiao Qi had not been coerced into a sexual act?!
