Anyone would be angry.
But Xu Xiuwen didn't expect that Lu Xinyao would blame herself so much and even started slapping herself.
I couldn't help but feel distressed.
From the force with which she whipped, it was clear that she was not acting.
Xu Xiuwen quickly held her hand and said, "Stop hitting her."
Even with one of Lu Xinyao's hands held down, she still tried to slap herself with the other hand.
Xu Xiuwen's face turned serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Lu Xinyao, don't you even listen to me?"
When Lu Xinyao heard the voice, her body trembled and she stopped.
Only then did Xu Xiuwen reveal a look of satisfaction.
He then asked, "What's going on? Where's the child?"
In fact, he had already vaguely guessed in his heart that the child might have been aborted.
Lu Xinyao lowered her head and looked at her feet, feeling extremely guilty.
She said, "The child... was aborted..."
It is true.
Xu Xiuwen showed disappointment again when he heard this.
But there was a hint of hoarseness in Lu Xinyao's voice.
He really couldn't say anything to blame.
He hesitated for a moment, then sat down next to Lu Xinyao.
He took Lu Xinyao's hand and asked, "Did your uncle and aunt force you to have an abortion?"
This sentence seemed to touch Lu Xinyao's sore spot again.
"I'm sorry. It's all my fault for not taking good care of my child. I'm sorry..."
Lu Xinyao kept saying sorry over and over again.
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiuwen stopped asking questions and simply opened his arms and hugged Lu Xinyao into his arms.
"You've been wronged."
It was originally intended to comfort Lu Xinyao.
Who would have thought that this would be said.
Lu Xinyao cried even more sadly.
Xu Xiuwen had no choice but to pat the woman's back gently and comfort her: "The child is gone... so it's gone. We are still young and can have children again in the future. The most important thing right now is that you take good care of yourself. Don't cry and hurt yourself..."
Lu Xinyao finally couldn't help but look up at Xu Xiuwen.
In her tearful eyes, there were four parts sadness, three parts self-blame, two parts touching, and one part doubt.
She couldn't help but ask: "You... don't you blame me?"
Xu Xiuwen looked down at Lu Xinyao's eyes, wiped away the tears from her eyes with his thumbs, and then said gently: "In my heart, the child will never be as important as you. If he wants to blame someone, let him blame me. It was me who failed to protect him. I should have gone to your house earlier to take you back. I'm sorry, Xinyao."
Xu Xiuwen's words were no less than a bombshell.
It exploded directly in Lu Xinyao's heart!
Lu Xinyao's feelings towards Xu Xiuwen are very twisted and awkward.
One of them is a domineering president, and the other is a poor and wronged secretary.
She couldn't refuse Xu Xiuwen's toughness.
Instead, he fell deeper and deeper into Xu Xiuwen's toughness and gradually became unable to extricate himself.
Plus the development of the baby in the womb.
The hormones in her body also prompted her to become more and more addicted to this relationship.
But there is no doubt about it.
She always hated Xu Xiuwen in her heart.
This time her parents came unexpectedly and, after discovering that she was pregnant, they forced her to tell them whose child it was.
Lu Xinyao refused to say anything at that time.
Angry Mr. and Mrs. Lu took her directly back home.
At this time, Lu Xinyao was not too worried and just thought that she should wait until her parents’ anger subsided.
She can also go back to Jinling to work.
But the reality is not so.
As soon as she returned home, Lu Xinyao was locked up by her parents.
Her parents don't allow her to go out or use a mobile phone.
Even meals were delivered to the room by the parents themselves.
There will be someone to accompany you when you go to the toilet.
The purpose, of course, is to force Lu Xinyao to tell who the child belongs to.
But Lu Xinyao also has a stubborn temper.
He refused to say anything.
The reason why she was unwilling to say it was mainly because she was worried that her parents would find out and go to Xu Xiuwen's school.
Once the news that Xu Xiuwen got someone else's daughter pregnant spread around the school.
Xu Xiuwen will have no way to defend himself.
The image will also plummet.
This was not what she wanted.
What's more.
If Xu Xiuwen's girlfriend knew about this, things might get out of hand.
There are only two consequences if the situation gets out of hand.
Either Xu Xiuwen breaks up with his girlfriend and marries her.
Or Xu Xiuwen breaks up with her.
Lu Xinyao knew very well that Xu Xiuwen would never break up with his childhood sweetheart.
She also didn't think Xu Xiuwen's mother would accept a daughter-in-law like her who got pregnant before marriage.
So Lu Xinyao made up her mind not to say it.
So she was completely imprisoned at home by her furious parents.
Lu Xinyao thought of various ways.
But there was no way to escape from home.
Her father hired someone to reinforce the windows of her room.
She couldn't even jump out the window.
Until one day, her parents suddenly took her to the hospital to have the child aborted.
Lu Xinyao refused.
Lu's father then said that if she didn't beat the child, he would call the police and report that she was raped, and let the police investigate the identity of the child's father.
Lu Xinyao's attitude wavered a little.
Then Lu's mother told her that if she beat the child, she would be forced to return to Jinling.
Use both the stick and the carrot.
Lu Xinyao had no choice but to agree to her parents' request.
When she came home after beating the child.
Mother Lu also told her that she had to stay in bed for a while to recuperate before she would let her go.
After she finishes the one-month confinement period.
Lu's mother changed her mind again and asked her to reveal the identity of the child's father before she would let her return to Jinling.
It turned out that her parents had never intended to give up investigating the identity of the child's father, nor had they ever thought of letting her return to Jinling.
Knowing that she had been cheated, Lu Xinyao felt regretful, annoyed and angry.
But it was too late.
However, Lu Xinyao did not give up on escaping.
She worked hard and persuaded her brother to make her a key to the room, which she kept carefully.
Until today.
