I Ran Away After Transmigrating as a Wealthy Daughter-in-Law  - Chapter 10

Jian Yue had confirmed she was pregnant ten days ago.

She had bought many pregnancy tests and tried every single one. Then she bought many pregnancy kits and tested with every single one.

Although she always held onto a little bit of hope, Jian Yue knew she was just deceiving herself. She had had a feeling ever since she went to see Yin Li. When she got the final confirmation, Jian Yue didn’t know how to feel.

She just sat there in a daze for a long time. It took her a week to decide whether to keep the baby or not. So, today, knowing she was pregnant, she drank the wine.

The moment the red wine went down her throat, Jian Yue had a flash of regret. She even had the urge to run to the bathroom and throw up. But she controlled it.

The baby in her belly was that person’s. Jian Yue felt she had suffered enough. She had been weak and indecisive before, which allowed that piece of trash to take advantage of her.

Now, she wanted to change and be someone who wouldn’t put up with any nonsense.

So, since she had made up her mind to change, she had also made up her mind to not keep the baby.

But the moment her stomach started to hurt, Jian Yue regretted it. It was an unspeakable, terrifying regret. On the way to the hospital, Jian Yue cried.

Perhaps, as people say, a child is innocent.

Yin Li comforted her. “It’s okay, I’m here.”

Jian Yue sniffled. “…Will she be okay?”

Yin Li frowned. “Don’t think about that right now.”

Jian Yue’s heart sank, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

When they arrived at the hospital, she got a shot and some medicine. The pain in her abdomen slowly subsided. Not until the pain was gone did Jian Yue feel better.

She hadn’t bled. Did that mean the baby in her belly was okay?

Thinking this, she couldn’t wait to ask Yin Li.

Yin Li was silent.

Jian Yue’s heart skipped a beat, and her voice trembled. “Is the baby… gone?”

Yin Li adjusted her glasses, looked at her, and said, “You’re good at keeping secrets.”

Jian Yue was taken aback. She frowned slightly and asked anyway, “…Is the baby still there?”

Looking at her, Yin Li sighed helplessly. “So, you’ve decided to have this baby?”

This time, it was Jian Yue’s turn to be silent.

Yin Li continued, “I’m just asking. It’s your decision, after all. But being a single mom isn’t easy, especially for a delicate little Omega like you…”

She was about to say, “…who doesn’t even have an Alpha by your side,” but she was afraid Jian Yue would think of that scumbag, so she stopped.

This was probably the most she had thought about a single thing in her life so far.

Jian Yue couldn’t explain her determination at the moment. The only thing she was certain of was that no matter whose child it was, the thought of losing her made her heart ache.

“…My family is pretty wealthy. Raising a child is not a problem.”

After a long pause, Jian Yue said this.

Yin Li: “…”

She was speechless for a moment.

The glass of red wine didn’t cause Jian Yue to miscarry. Yin Li gave her medication to stabilize the pregnancy, and Jian Yue finally calmed down.

Yin Li looked at her test results and chuckled. “This little one is a fighter.”

Hearing this, Jian Yue couldn’t help but touch her abdomen. She wondered if it was her imagination, but she felt the baby moving inside.

“Lili, she’s moving!” Jian Yue said, both surprised and delighted.

Yin Li: “…”

Yin Li was briefly speechless. She held back the urge to roll her eyes. “Ms. Jian, please. She’s only a month old, about the size of a peanut. There’s no way you can feel her moving.”

Jian Yue gave a slightly embarrassed smile. “Oh, is that so?”

A few seconds later, she asked worriedly, “Do you think she’ll be mad at me for drinking? Is she throwing a tantrum in there?”

Yin Li: “…”

Damn, getting pregnant really does make people stupid.

Jian Yue looked at Yin Li seriously. “Will she or won’t she? Lili, tell me.”

Yin Li put the test results on the table, rolling her eyes to the sky. “Of course, she will. She’ll remember forever. When she’s born and can talk, she’ll come looking for you to settle the score.”

Jian Yue was on the verge of tears. “Is she really that vengeful?”

Yin Li crossed her arms. “Yes, she is.”

Jian Yue lay back on the bed in defeat, stroking her belly. “What do I do? Baby, please don’t be mad. Mommy didn’t mean it.”

Yin Li: “…”

Pregnant women are stupid for three years. It seems that saying is true.

Yin Li poured Jian Yue a glass of warm water. “Drink this, and then we’ll do a brain scan.”

Jian Yue was confused. “Why do I need a brain scan?”

Yin Li laughed and asked, looking completely exasperated, “Do you have any memories of being in your mother’s belly, my dear Ms. Jian?”

Jian Yue was stunned, then she understood and laughed.

She was speechless with her own behavior. “I really am…” She patted her head. “You’re right. I really should get a brain scan.”

Yin Li sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Jian Yue. Her expression became serious. “Yueyue, are you sure about this?”

Jian Yue, who was drinking water, understood what she meant. She didn’t answer right away. She just drank her water. When the glass was empty, she nodded. “Lili, I’m sure.”

Yin Li smiled faintly and didn’t say anything more.

But as she was about to leave the room, she said, “If you change your mind, contact me anytime. After all, the earlier you get an abortion, the better.”

When the door closed, Jian Yue slumped against the headboard and let out a long sigh of relief.

Perhaps this time, she wouldn’t regret her decision.

The past two days had not been easy for Jiang Pan. After getting through another heat cycle, she found herself missing Jian Yue more and more.

She even felt a strange sense of possessiveness.

Jiang Pan considered herself not someone who craved love. She had been used to being alone for years. What she cared about most was her research. She could spend half a day happily looking at a single canola flower with her professors in the fields.

In those moments, she was certain that she didn’t need love to live a good life.

But since transmigrating here, her emotions had subtly begun to change.

In her twenty-six years of life, she had never missed anyone as much as she missed Jian Yue in these past few days.

She didn’t believe in love at first sight; she believed it was a product of infatuation with someone’s looks. And Jian Yue’s beauty was certainly something to be infatuated with.

Jiang Pan frowned. She was also captivated by someone’s beauty, and maybe that infatuation also came from the madness of that night.

Her only thought about this infatuation was, what a shameless way of thinking.

Since Jiang Pan came home, Zhao Cuiping had many questions. At times, she felt a sense of unfamiliarity with her daughter, but she couldn’t bring herself to ask any questions. She was afraid that even this occasionally unfamiliar daughter would leave them again.

Furthermore, Jiang Pan spending so much money to buy so much land was baffling. She was always worried about where the money came from.

She believed her daughter had the ability to make money, but ten million was an alarmingly large amount.

“Panpan, it’s just the two of us right now. Tell Mom the truth, where did you get all that money?” Zhao Cuiping finally asked.

“I borrowed it,” Jiang Pan said. She had no intention of keeping anyone’s money. She had borrowed Li Qi’s money, and she would pay it back one day.

“Borrowed?” Zhao Cuiping’s eyes widened. “Who did you borrow so much money from?” Without waiting for an answer, she immediately looked worried. “Oh, my goodness, ten million. How much will the interest be? When will you be able to pay it back?”

“Don’t worry, I borrowed it from,” Jiang Pan blurted out, “Jian Yue.”

As she said it, she wondered why she had said Jian Yue’s name.

Zhao Cuiping had been very worried, but when she heard that, the expression on her face relaxed a lot. But then she remembered that Jiang Pan had divorced Jian Yue, and her face became worried again.

“That Jian Yue is a good girl. You’re divorced, but she still lent you so much money,” Zhao Cuiping said, looking at Jiang Pan’s expression. She chose her words carefully. “How do you plan to pay it back?”

“I’ll pay it back slowly,” Jiang Pan said casually.

“Slowly?” Zhao Cuiping felt there was a hidden meaning in her words. She thought about it for a moment and came to a different conclusion. “Oh, okay. You two can figure out your own business.”

Jiang Pan casually hummed in response. At that moment, she was focused on every contract and didn’t care what Zhao Cuiping thought about her and Jian Yue.

When she finished, Zhao Cuiping asked, “You and that Jian Yue girl are getting remarried, right?” The question completely stumped Jiang Pan.

…Remarried? Right?

Jiang Pan turned her eyes to her. “Why do you ask?”

“You’re divorced, but she still lent you so much money. That means she wants to keep in touch with you. She’s just looking for an excuse.” Zhao Cuiping gave her a look that said, “Your mother knows best.”

Jiang Pan shook her head helplessly. She should have never said she borrowed the money from Jian Yue.

Her mother had no idea about the outrageous things the original owner had done. She still thought her daughter was a good, well-mannered child. Heh, she really didn’t know what to say.

When she used to read the novel, the author didn’t say much about the original owner’s parents. But since the original owner came from a certain family, people naturally assumed that her deranged behavior was probably due to her parents.

After all, a person’s character is shaped by their parents and their family background.

Jiang Pan’s character had a foundation of filth, selfishness, and extremism.

It was easy to assume that her being the way she was had something to do with her parents and family.

But after interacting with the original owner’s parents for the past few days, she found that although they had some bad habits, they were harmless and would never hurt anyone.

Most importantly, they were simple and kind. They weren’t highly educated, but they had a strong moral compass. The original owner’s character shouldn’t have been so bad.

But the original owner was so awful that it made people frown. What in the world caused such a genetic deviation?

Sitting at the desk where the original owner used to study, Jiang Pan thought that back then, the original owner, who was studying hard, was also a good child in her parents’ eyes. She carried her parents’ hopes and her own dreams and left this small village step by step.

Maybe the Jiang Pan that Jian Yue first met was pure. But that person only ever loved herself.

The appearance of Jian Yue, a wealthy young lady, was a heavy blow to her impoverished world. It made her realize how unfair the world was.

She had gotten together with Jian Yue because Jian Yue’s social status would allow her to avoid a lot of struggling.

She was thoughtful toward Jian Yue because Jian Yue was a walking ATM to her.

Jiang Pan looked up at the glaring white light above her head. She instinctively closed her eyes and raised her hand to block the light.

She suddenly remembered Jian Yue’s bright face. For a moment, she was curious about what Jian Yue looked like in college.

She must have been just as sweet and gentle as she was now.

Thinking of Jian Yue, Jiang Pan’s eyes held a tenderness she didn’t even know about.

The sudden ring of her phone interrupted Jiang Pan’s thoughts. It was an unknown number.

She answered, and a moment later, Jiang Pan frowned. “Mr. Lawyer, what did you say?”
