Chapter 446 How Should She Make a Choice?

Zhou Songmei was stunned, her brows furrowed, more worried than ever before.

Song Jianping simply went out to answer the phone, and she completely overlooked this matter.

There could be no more chaotic situation than this.

"You...you've finished your call? This is my classmate, she's here to visit me." Zhou Songmei decided to try anything, even if it meant lying for a while.

As she spoke, she tried to wink at Meng Zhongkui, but the man didn't even glance in her direction. She wondered if all her efforts to coax him had been effective.

"Jianping, the child is crying. Can you comfort the child first?" Zhou Songmei said gently.

Song Jianping didn't have any preference for sons over daughters and hoped to use the child to keep him in check.

However, Song Jianping did not take any action and let the child cry.

The newborn baby, only a few days old, lives in constant fear, and seems to cry louder and louder as a way to vent his emotions.

"Jianping, can you hear me?"

The only sounds in the ward, besides the child's cries, were Zhou Songmei's intermittent voices.

Neither of the two men paid any attention to her.

She suddenly broke down, covering her face and crying: "Do you all think that because I gave birth to the child, I should be the only one to take care of him/her?"

"I'm already under a lot of pressure. I had a C-section, and even the slightest movement could cause my wound to rupture. Are you trying to make me suffer to death?"

Zhou Songmei's emotional outburst finally made Meng Zhongkui unable to be ruthless. He picked up the child, took him to the nurses' station, and asked the nurses to look after him for a while.

He heard Zhou Songmei say "you all." He knew that when she said "you all," she was actually referring to him.

He could never truly be cruel to this woman.

Even though she did so many unforgivable things.

After Meng Zhongkui left, Zhou Songmei immediately prepared to get up and approach Song Jianping, but she accidentally pulled at her wound, causing her to hunch over in pain.

To avoid making the situation worse, she endured the pain and said, "I know you don't want others to know about our relationship right now, but I didn't expect him to come. Since my classmate is here, could you please give me some face? I'll tell him later that you have to work and you can leave first. I'll also tell him not to come again and not to tell anyone about me."

Zhou Songmei believed that she had made her point clearly and reasonably enough.

Song Jianping coldly observed the woman and suddenly realized that his previous understanding of her was indeed less than one ten-thousandth.

Faced with this situation, she remained calm and composed, and even made those who heard her feel a sense of sincerity.

sincere?

Screw sincerity.

These two words would never exist in Zhou Songmei's dictionary.

"Is he really just your classmate?" Song Jianping asked.

Zhou Songmei was stunned. How much did Song Jianping know, or was he just testing her?

Considering Meng Zhongkui's attitude today, Zhou Songmei felt as if there was an invisible hand controlling everything.

"Otherwise what? I can swear, or you can go to my old school and investigate to see if I'm lying. What's wrong with you today? Aren't you supposed to be very concerned about your image? Can't you stop making a fool of ourselves in front of outsiders?"

Here we go again, with that same face that seems to be on the same side as everyone else.

"I'm asking if he's just your classmate? Is there nothing more to it? You'd better think carefully before you answer me."

Song Jianping's tone returned to its initial indifference.

Zhou Songmei's heart pounded like a drum.

It seems that the person inside cannot be persuaded in a short time, and the man outside must have taken some wrong medicine today.

Is it about to come to light and be made public everything she's been hiding?

Can't! Absolutely not!

"You don't believe me? Or have you discovered something? You might as well just tell me." Zhou Songmei used a feigned retreat to advance.

"Do you really want me to just say it directly?" Song Jianping is no simple character either.

“Yes, I have nothing to do wrong to you,” Zhou Songmei said confidently.

Zhou Songmei's frank attitude suddenly made Song Jianping hesitate.

"You told us before that Zizai was Fang Guanghua's, and you lied to all of us. Actually, Zizai isn't Fang Guanghua's child." Song Jianping glanced at the door. "He's actually the son of your so-called classmate, isn't he?"

Zhou Songmei's brows furrowed more and more deeply, and she did not answer Song Jianping's question.

But sometimes, silence says it all.

Song Jianping continued, "After Lingge left that day, you suddenly ran back, and we drank and talked. To be honest, I don't know how much I drank. Although you were lying next to me the next day, I have no recollection of what happened that night."

"Heh, I can tell, you're trying to deny it?"

"It's not a matter of acknowledging or not acknowledging it. Is it really such a coincidence? Getting pregnant on just one try? The doctor said that although she was premature, she's growing quite well and doesn't look like a baby who's only seven months old..."

"Song Jianping, are you doubting that the child isn't yours?" Zhou Songmei hissed.

Song Jianping looked at her, his expression unreadable, but he asked, word by word, "Whose child is it?"

This question struck Zhou Songmei like a thunderbolt. She stared wide-eyed at Song Jianping, beads of sweat forming on her temples.

Why did Song Jianping ask this question?

Zhou Songmei wanted to shout at him: "If the child isn't yours, whose is it? Have you forgotten how you treated me that night?"

But she didn't dare, because she noticed the figure outside the door.

Zhou Songmei suddenly had a bad feeling. Was all of Meng Zhongkui's unusual behavior today also for this reason?

Two men, one question.

How would she answer?

Meng Zhongkui walked in.

He had just gone out to settle the child, and when he came back, he overheard Song Jianping asking who the child was.

That's exactly why he came today.

Song Jianping and Meng Zhongkui both stared at Zhou Songmei, the source of all the trouble.

"Is there even a question? What's there to ask?"

“No, I want to hear it from you yourself,” Song Jianping said.

Meng Zhongkui suddenly spoke up: "I'd also like to know."

He knew what those words would mean once they left his mouth. But he said them anyway.

He knew Zhou Songmei's abilities very well. She had been able to deceive Fang Guanghua for many years back then, so why couldn't she deceive him now?

He would do anything illegal for her, but he couldn't accept her using the child to deceive him; that was his bottom line.

What Song Jianping and Meng Zhongkui said seemed to be a problem, but it was actually a choice.

Looking at the two people, Zhou Songmei suddenly realized that it was time for her to make a choice.

Every word she uttered was a choice she made about her future life.

What should she do?
