After Transmigration: Unexpectedly Wed the Ruthless Tycoon
Chapter 98: Wait and See

Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Wait and See

Zhu Fang started to get nervous. If this child in her belly didn’t have a father, what would people outside say about her? Plus, she’d lose her job! What should she do then?

The more Zhu Fang thought about it, the more anxious she became. She was the first college student from her village, the first to move to the city and have a respectable job. Her parents gained a lot of face because of her, and the neighbors all envied her...

If she lost her job, all the honor would be gone!

"This child... I really can’t keep." Zhu Fang said as she looked at her slightly bulging belly.

"But are you willing to just be deceived by him like that?" The woman listened to these words, pushed the tea forward, and put it in front of Zhu Fang.

Zhu Fang was slightly stunned for a moment, then shook her head, saying, "No... I want revenge. My entire life is ruined by him!" Thinking of her parents in the countryside and those neighbors who envied her.

Zhu Fang squeezed her hands tightly on her lap.

The woman nodded and said, "This matter is very simple. So, are you going to keep your child?"

"I’m not keeping it," Zhu Fang said decisively. "What use is this heartless man’s child to me? I don’t want to ruin my whole life because of this child."

"You can’t have your cake and eat it too. Ouyang Xuan won’t let you trap him easily. Besides, he’s wealthy and respected; so you tell me, will people believe him or you?" The woman’s words made Zhu Fang doubt. After hesitating for a while, she looked at the woman and said, "So what should I do? Give me some advice."

"You can keep your job. If you’re afraid of gossip, I can help you find connections to transfer you out, and you can still have this job. Start anew in a different place. And if our plan successfully traps Ouyang Xuan, I’ll give you another thousand yuan." The woman said without changing her expression.

Upon hearing about a thousand yuan, Zhu Fang was stunned. In her rural area, there wasn’t even a single household with ten thousand yuan; the richest only had a few thousand.

Even though she had been working for quite a while, she’d never seen as much as a thousand yuan.

Zhu Fang looked disbelievingly at the woman opposite her. The woman was dressed appropriately and looked wealthy, like an affluent lady. But she couldn’t understand why such a noble woman would help her, and she was Ouyang Xuan’s mother-in-law.

The woman across from her seemed to know what Zhu Fang wanted to ask, so she opened her mouth and said, "You’re wondering why, as Ouyang Xuan’s mother-in-law, I would help you trip up Ouyang Xuan, right?"

Zhu Fang nodded honestly. Seeing this, the woman continued, "My silly daughter can’t see that Ouyang Xuan is after our family’s money. I’ve told her, but she remains stubbornly oblivious. Since that’s the case, I can only use someone else’s hand to make her see what kind of person Ouyang Xuan really is."

Zhu Fang found this statement very reasonable. She glanced at the woman, realizing that although her family was wealthy, they truly had no solution when encountering someone like Ouyang Xuan.

Perhaps they were both lonely souls in a foreign land, she thought. She didn’t want this affluent woman’s daughter to share her fate, so she nodded and asked the wealthy woman, "What should I do at that time?"

"Where do you plan to get the abortion?" The wealthy woman asked Zhu Fang.

Zhu Fang said, "Go to Ouyang Xuan’s home..." After saying this, Zhu Fang felt something wrong and bitterly laughed, saying, "I’m not even sure if it’s his home; it’s just a suite at the west end of the city..."

The woman knew the place Zhu Fang mentioned and nodded, "I know the place you’re talking about. He often takes women there. However, he’s very thorough; every woman doesn’t know each other, and he deliberately staggers the time, so you never bump into each other. He tells each woman not to come to his dorm to prevent ruining their reputation."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Fang’s heart skipped a beat. Ouyang Xuan indeed said this to her, and at the time, she was deeply moved, feeling that Ouyang Xuan was probably the kindest person in the world to her.

Her parents never cared for her like that. (The author interjects: Many young girls in love probably think this way, but remember, it’s the parents who love you the most.)

Now hearing these words spoken by someone else, she realized just how laughable she had been.

Zhu Fang felt bad for a while and then said, "I don’t dare to go to a hospital for the abortion; I’m afraid everyone will know. As for Ouyang Xuan, he initially said it was for our sake... Thinking about it now, he also feared being found out that someone had had an abortion for him, which would ruin his reputation."

"You’re absolutely right; that’s exactly what he’s thinking." The woman looked at Zhu Fang and told her what to do next.

Although knowing Ouyang Xuan’s true nature saddened Zhu Fang, she had been educated in college and didn’t wail like other rural women. Instead, she carefully noted down the methods the woman told her.

Before leaving, the woman left her phone number with Zhu Fang and instructed her to call before getting the abortion.

After sitting there for a while, Zhu Fang also went to Ouyang Xuan’s home.

Originally, Ouyang Xuan’s home was her favorite place, the warmest place she could imagine. But now, it seemed to be the most revolting place.

Every step she took up the stairs felt increasingly disgusting, especially when she remembered Ouyang Xuan’s sweet talk in bed, making it all the more unbelievable.

Arriving at the familiar door, Zhu Fang raised her hand and knocked. When Ouyang Xuan opened the door and saw Zhu Fang, he hurriedly pulled her in, saying, "Did you request leave?"

Ouyang Xuan had told her earlier that after the abortion, she should rest for at least one or two days. Along with the initial preparation, she should stay for around five days.

Zhu Fang couldn’t request leave for that long, so she only asked for three days.

"All arranged." Zhu Fang coldly laughed in her heart upon seeing Ouyang Xuan.

"That’s good." Ouyang Xuan took Zhu Fang to the living room and said, "I’ve been reading obstetrics and gynecology books these days, so there should be no problem. All the tools and medicine were brought from the hospital; there shouldn’t be any issues."

Zhu Fang saw the medical forceps placed to one side and couldn’t help asking, "What is this for?"

Ouyang Xuan casually glanced at the medical forceps and said, "Oh... that’s to remove the child."

Seeing those medical forceps, Zhu Fang felt a sharp pain in her heart, then said to Ouyang Xuan, "Since I’ve only taken three days off, let’s get started."

"No rush. You have to get an injection first; only after the time is right can we proceed with the abortion." Ouyang Xuan explained according to the obstetrics and gynecology book.

An abortion is inherently damaging to the body, painful, more so with Ouyang Xuan being a novice, learning while providing Zhu Fang the abortion...

Zhu Fang felt like she had reached the most painful and hardest point in her life; yet the only consolation was having discovered Ouyang Xuan’s true nature. If not, she’d have nowhere to cry once Ouyang Xuan abandoned her.

By the evening of the second day, the child had been removed successfully. After all, Ouyang Xuan was a doctor, so when he looked at the formed, bloody child, he didn’t even blink.

Zhu Fang’s heart felt unbearably sad, yet she forced herself to sit up and said, "Ah Xuan, it’s okay, we can have children in the future."

"Uh-huh." Ouyang Xuan replied perfunctorily.

From his attitude, Zhu Fang saw what perfunctory meant. In fact, it was not the first time he’d treated her this way; she just hadn’t noticed before, entirely enamored with liking him.

Now seeing clearly, she just felt disappointed with her inability to judge character.

Leaning against the bed’s headboard, Zhu Fang glanced at the stuff in Ouyang Xuan’s hands and asked, "What do you plan to do with it?"

"Burn it, I guess." Ouyang Xuan said nonchalantly, as if discussing an irrelevant matter.

But Zhu Fang was shocked by what he said. Burn it? After all, the child was formed, not merely a lump of flesh but a deceased life, just discarded like that...

Zhu Fang felt that Ouyang Xuan not only had countless love affairs and bad behavior but was close to being a psychopath.

Any ordinary person wouldn’t talk about burning a formed child... only someone with particularly twisted psychology might say such things, and doing such things, wouldn’t Ouyang Xuan fear having nightmares?

"Better not burn it." Zhu Fang shook her head. She reached out and gently held Ouyang Xuan’s hand, saying, "Ah Xuan, we’ve been together so long. I never asked you for anything, and after all, it is our child; burning it... my conscience can’t bear it."

Seeing Zhu Fang like this, Ouyang Xuan said, "Then tell me, what should be done with the child?"

"The trash bin downstairs is cleared daily; wrap the child in newspaper and throw it down there." Zhu Fang said lying down.

Ouyang Xuan thought for a moment, considering that the trash bin had too much stuff and was cleaned daily. It shouldn’t pose any problem, so he nodded, saying, "Okay, you rest well here; I’ll take care of it."

"Mm." Zhu Fang responded before closing her eyes, pretending to rest. As soon as she heard Ouyang Xuan leave the room, she immediately sat up, put on her shoes, and got out of bed.

Having just completed the abortion, getting out of bed caused her abdomen pain, and after taking a few steps, cold sweat began to form on her forehead. Yet she persisted and made it to the phone, dialing the number given by the woman, speaking for a couple of minutes before lying back in bed.

Before Ouyang Xuan returned, Zhu Fang stared at the white ceiling, lost in thought. She hoped to see Ouyang Xuan get his comeuppance someday.
