"You shameless woman!"

Jiang Man gently placed the child in the cradle, but was suddenly slapped hard. She looked up in shock, tears streaming down her face as she stared at the furious Mother Lu in front of her. "Mom, what's going on?"

"What's going on? You still have the nerve to ask?!" Mother Lu kicked her angrily and roared, "I originally suggested that you continue Ziyin's family line through in vitro fertilization, why did you agree so readily?

So you're hiding such a conspiracy! On the one hand, you pretended to agree to the IVF test, but on the other hand, you were secretly having an affair with another man, and now you're even dreaming that the Lu family would raise this illegitimate child!

Illegitimate child? What a mess!

Jiang Man's ears were buzzing. She endured the severe pain on her cheek and asked in confusion, "Mom, what are you talking about? They are really mine and Ziyin's children!"

She and Lu Ziyin have known each other since childhood and have a deep affection for each other. From their youthful junior high school days to the present, they have gone through countless years.

However, fate was cruel. Two years ago, just as they entered the marriage hall and had not yet enjoyed the sweetness of their newlywed life, Ziyin was involved in a car accident and fell into a long coma.

She endured the pain of losing her lover alone and endured countless days and nights until a year ago, when, at the request of Lu's mother, she made the decision to have in vitro fertilization, just to leave a trace of bloodline for the Lu family and for Ziyin.

But now, Mother Lu's accusation was like a bolt from the blue, making her unbelievable - how could her child not be Ziyin's?

"Your biological child? If Qianxue hadn't reminded me, I would have been kept in the dark by you!"

As Mrs. Lu spoke, she pulled out a few pages of documents from her bag and threw them hard at Jiang Man's face.

"Open your eyes and take a look! This child has no blood relationship with Ziyin at all! And you're still trying to make excuses! Jiang Man, are you worthy of Ziyin and our Lu family?!"

No blood relationship?

Jiang Man took the document with trembling hands. The moment her eyes fell on the DNA test results, her world seemed to collapse and her face instantly turned as pale as paper.

"No... Impossible!" She muttered to herself, her eyes full of disbelief, "I'm clearly... pregnant with Ziyin's child."

"Then you have to ask your own conscience!" Mother Lu was furious and pushed Jiang Man away.

Jiang Man lost her balance, staggered a few steps, and accidentally bumped into the corner of the table. A cut appeared on her forehead instantly, and blood gushed out, staining her cheeks red.

"Jiang Man, you have brought shame to our Lu family. I will never let you off easily! Aunt Zhang, take this child away immediately and send him to an orphanage!" Mother Lu pointed at the child in the cradle, her voice cold and ruthless.

Half a month ago, she was full of love and joy for this little life, but now she regards them as enemies and wishes they had never been born.

"Mom! No!"

Jiang Man's cries were filled with despair and pleading. She knelt down and crawled to Lu's mother desperately, grabbing her clothes tightly.

"Mom, I beg you, don't send my child away! Although... although I don't want to believe this fact, this child is the one I carried for ten months and gave birth to after going through countless hardships! I... I can't live without him..."

Tears blurred her vision, but they couldn't dilute the maternal love and reluctance in her heart. This child, whether or not it was Ziyin's, was the most precious thing in her life. She couldn't give up no matter what.

"You told me not to abandon this innocent little life?" Mother Lu's rage flared up like a blazing fire, but she managed to rein in her emotions. She looked down at Jiang Man, her eyes filled with contempt and disgust, yet she maintained a calm demeanor.

"If you want to keep the child, you can, but the condition is that you must divorce Ziyin and never enter the Lu family with this child."

Hearing this, Jiang Man said without hesitation, "I am willing to accept any conditions as long as the child can stay."

A sneer curled up Lu's mother's lips. This was the moment she had been waiting for. She pulled another document from her bag and tossed it in front of Jiang Man like trash. "This is your divorce agreement. Sign it, and you can leave the Lu family with your 'achievements.' Remember, it was you who betrayed Ziyin and brought shame to the Lu family. You won't take a single cent from the Lu family! We've been incredibly kind to you by supporting your education and living expenses over the years!"

The words "Divorce Agreement" slashed like a sharp blade, severing the decade-long bond between Jiang Man and Lu Ziyin. With trembling hands, she picked up the cold document, a mixture of emotions welling up in her heart. The love she once thought indestructible now seemed as fragile as a piece of paper, shattered at the slightest tear.

"Are you going to sign or not? If you don't, you'll never see them again!" Mother Lu's threat was like ice, piercing Jiang Man's heart.

Jiang Man looked at the crib, and saw the little life there, with its round eyes wide open with curiosity, smiling innocently at her. Her heart melted instantly, and she couldn't let her child repeat her mistakes and spend a loveless childhood in an orphanage.

"I...sign." She uttered the word with difficulty, as if she had used up all her strength.

Mother Lu nodded with satisfaction and threw her a pen. "Remember to write clearly that you were the one who betrayed me first. This child has nothing to do with my Lu family anymore."

Humiliation and humiliation surged like a tide. Jiang Man gritted her teeth and signed her name with trembling hands. At that moment, she seemed to have signed away her lifelong humiliation and helplessness.

After signing, Lu's mother couldn't wait to rush her out of the Lu family's gate. Outside, the rain was pouring down. Jiang Man held the child, holding only a tattered umbrella and the wedding ring on her ring finger, which shone faintly. She didn't know where to go, but she had only one thought in her mind: no matter what, she must protect this little life.

However, fate always seemed to play tricks on him. Just as Jiang Man stepped out of the Lu family's house, exciting news came from Lu Ziyin's room on the second floor - "The eldest young master has woken up!" This cry exploded like thunder over the Lu family's house.

"Mom, where is A-Man?" Lu Ziyin's first words after waking up were to inquire about Jiang Man's whereabouts. His voice was weak, but full of anxiety and longing.

Seeing this, Mother Lu became even more furious. "Don't mention that woman anymore! I've already driven her away!"

"Kicked her away? Why? I want to see her!" Lu Ziyin wanted to get out of bed eagerly, but his weak body didn't even allow him to stand, and he could only fall helplessly to the ground.

At this moment, everyone in the Lu family is immersed in complex emotions, and Jiang Man has embarked on an unknown and difficult journey with her child.
