Chapter 191: Chapter 191: Cannot Be Kept

"Abortion?" Qiao Rui was shocked again, "Why abort?"

"Miss Song said that this child is ill-timed and shouldn’t be here. It’s only been a month, and an abortion now won’t be as painful," Qi Yun said softly. "We just did the ultrasound, and it’s almost invisible, it’s too early."

"How many days has it been a month?" Qiao Rui asked again.

"Between thirty-two and thirty-five days at most." When Qi Yun saw Song Muyu learn of the news, her appearance was such that she didn’t have the heart to persuade her to do otherwise. "Young Master, Miss Song is suffering more than anyone."

"I know." How could Qiao Rui not understand this feeling? She is the mother of the child, and the father is her adoptive brother, who is now getting engaged to someone else.

At this time, with the child’s arrival, the situation it brings can be imagined.

Song Muyu doesn’t want to keep it, probably because she doesn’t want to bring trouble to the Song Family and even less to bring future problems for herself.

But how innocent is this child?

Qiao Rui fell silent for a while, thinking of Huo Sinan’s child, the one who indiscriminately calls others ’mom.’

If Muyu were to give birth to this child in secret, would it end up mistakenly recognizing fathers in the future?

Just the thought of such a situation made Qiao Rui too scared to contemplate.

Muyu had also seen Huo Sinan’s son and knew how cruel that situation was for the child.

If Song Xun were to marry Miss from the Shen Family in the end, and the child appeared in Song Xun’s marriage when he grew up, it would lead to even more tragedies.

Rationally speaking, not keeping this child is correct.

However, the thought that it is a life made Qiao Rui ache for her friend.

"She’s afraid I’ll persuade her to keep the child," Qiao Rui whispered, fully understanding Song Muyu’s emotions, "Let her calm down overnight. Have her contact me tomorrow, I want to know if she might change her mind."

It seems that now, they could only wait until tomorrow to see the situation and decide.

"Yes, Young Master."

"Take good care of her," Qiao Rui ordered.

"Yes, Young Master, rest assured," Qi Yun solemnly promised.

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Rui held her mobile phone, looking down to see Pei Liyan’s boxer briefs, she focused for a moment, then picked them up and placed them on top of her house clothes.

She expressionlessly took the clothes out, and just as she walked to the bed, the bathroom door opened.

The man emerged, wrapped in a wide bathrobe, his hair still dripping water. It trickled down his full forehead, along his well-defined cheeks, and fell into the half-open bathrobe. His long, sturdy neck dampened with water, further accentuating his sexiness.

But Qiao Rui had no interest in admiring it, just glanced hurriedly and walked over, thrusting the clothes directly into Pei Liyan’s hands.

Without caring whether the man took them or not, she immediately walked out.

Pei Liyan could clearly feel the extreme change in Qiao Rui’s mood from just now to now.

Earlier, the atmosphere had been very relaxed.

Pei Liyan had only taken a quick shower, yet Qiao Rui seemed to plunge into a cold valley.

What exactly did she see in the wardrobe room?

There seemed to be nothing shameful in his wardrobe.

Pei Liyan turned to look at the girl’s retreating back, frowning, and as he saw her hurried demeanor, he called out, "Qiao Rui, what happened?"

Qiao Rui walked out without turning her head, as if she hadn’t heard.

Pei Liyan frowned slightly.

Qiao Rui continued walking and quickly left.

She truly hadn’t heard.

Pei Liyan dried his hair, he couldn’t care too much, glanced at the boxer briefs Qiao Rui had prepared, put them on, and dressed in the house clothes before hurrying out.

Qiao Rui’s figure was gone from the hallway.

He came to Qiao Rui’s room door and was about to knock when he saw Qiao Rui had already opened the door, holding two A4 papers, and when she saw him, she said, "I’ve drafted a simple agreement about the repayment time for the eight-hundred-million fund, and my simple plan. Take a look!"

Pei Liyan frowned, looking at her expressionless face with some confusion, "Did you not hear me calling you earlier? Were you thinking about this?"

Qiao Rui was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "Yes, I need to think about repaying the money I borrowed."

"Actually, you don’t have to involve yourself with the Qiao Family’s messy affairs," Pei Liyan took the drafted agreement from her, glanced at it, and a flash of admiration appeared in his eyes.

He earnestly looked at Qiao Rui.

Qiao Rui said, "Yes, it is a mess, but I am still a part of the Qiao Family after all."

Pei Liyan nodded, continuing to read the agreement.

After a brief scan, he looked deeply at Qiao Rui again and asked, "You, have you studied law?"

"Could you tell just by this?" Qiao Rui tilted her head to look at the man, and asked with a half-smile, "Isn’t it just a normal agreement?"

"If you hadn’t studied law, you wouldn’t consider it so comprehensively," Pei Liyan said. "Even though it’s just a brief agreement, the one you’ve drafted is no different from one a legal department’s professional would make."

"Then I thank Mr. Pei for the compliment," Qiao Rui said. "Still, better to let your company’s legal department lawyers take a good look, and if you have any other requirements, we can add them to the agreement. Then both sides can sign."

"Actually, this agreement is not in your favor," Pei Liyan said. "I didn’t expect you’d draft this agreement yourself."

"It should be like this," Qiao Rui replied with a genuine smile. "Since it involves so much money, I’m giving you interest at the bank’s rates."

"You intend to give me interest, too," Pei Liyan asked with a smile.

"In addition to the interest based on the bank’s standard, there will be dividends," Qiao Rui said. "The specifics of this dividend, I’ll discuss after examining the Qiao Family’s project."

"It looks like you’re full of confidence," Pei Liyan said.

Qiao Rui nodded. "Yes, it’s time to do something. It’s not right to always be idle, and if the Qiao Family really falls, it’s not what I want to see."

Pei Liyan’s gaze fell on Qiao Rui’s face, seeing her earnest expression, and nodded. "This means you’re a kind-hearted girl with a sense of responsibility."

"Let’s go downstairs for dinner," Qiao Rui changed the subject.

Pei Liyan saw her mood was still a bit low, uncertain about what had happened, he asked again, "Do you have any other doubts? Anything you need me to resolve?"

Qiao Rui shook her head. "No, thank you."

"Don’t be polite with me," Pei Liyan said in a deep voice, the tone had a hint of indulgence.

"I’m not being polite; I’ve already asked to borrow such a large sum of money," Qiao Rui smiled.

The two went downstairs together.

At that moment, Pei Liyan’s phone rang.

He looked at it and picked up.

The voice of Song Xun came from the other side, "Brother Pei, I’ve arrived in Qingcheng, do you have time?"

"Now?" Pei Liyan was a bit surprised.

"Yes!" Song Xun said.

Pei Liyan looked at Qiao Rui and said to Song Xun, "I’m at home, how about you come to my place. It’s a good opportunity to introduce my wife to you!"
