47 Love
Jiang Meilin felt her heart shatter into a million pieces. She cursed herself for breaking her promise of holding her daughter's hand and walk through their struggles together. She felt like the worse mother in the whole world. Still crying in her mother's embrace, Bai Renxiang narrated the rest of what had happened.
"There was a check on the table so I took it and left immediately. That was how I got to pay for you surgery and the treatments. I was so stupid to not know that Bai Ming would not help me without a price," Bai Renxiang said in between her sobs. She was too desperate to stop and think of what her stepsister had meant when she said Bai Renxiang could be her power boost. She did not bother to think of why her stepsister, Bai Ming accepted to help her without her pleading to much. She felt like an idiot.
Now she was pregnant with a child for a father she has no idea about or has even seen. A total stranger. Can life be anymore cruel to her? What had she done to deserve this harsh punishment? She lived according to how her father and Lin Ying wanted her to. She worked hard for her father's company. At times the designs she leisure made when she was free were used but she was not given any credit for it. She racked her brains to get an excellent and profitable business proposals so that other bigger companies could invest in her father's struggling company. At the end, when everything comes out in success, nobody thought to appreciate or even passed a comment of satisfaction to her hard work.
Then a few photographs were uploaded on the internet and she was cast out like chess piece a player had no need for. A disgrace, a whore and a pretentious snake. That was what her father, the netizens and her boyfriend thought of her. Her reputation was destroyed. Everything she had worked so hard to build collapsed under few hours and her father had thrown her out of his family, Fu Bolin had ended their relationship ruthlessly. What a life.
After the mother and daughter cried for sometime in each other's embrace, the both of them did not utter a word. Another wave of silence consumed the room. "Honey from now on I will try my best to be a good mother. I will support you every step of the way with every fiber in my body. Do not cry anymore. I am here now, okay?" Jiang Meilin assured her daughter.
Bai Renxiang nodded her head and snuggled closer to Jiang Meilin. Her little actions made Jiang Meilin chuckled. "Alright do not be such a baby and get up, take a shower and change out of your sleepwear so we could go to the hospital so that they can conduct a pregnancy test and some other test and-"
"Mum hold on a little. What pregnancy test? That aside, how am I going to tell gramps about me being pregnant?" Bai Renxiang interrupted her mother. "What do you my 'how am I going to tell gramps?' Dad is not a narrow-minded person. He would understand once you clearly explain things to him. Infact you should not be worried about telling him because I will be there with you," Jiang Meilin said.
"Really? You think he would not be mad at me? I mean I do not even know the father of my unborn child," Bai Renxiang asked worriedly. "How may times do I have to tell you to not worry? I do not think your grandfather will be mad, I know he will not be mad You are his sunlight honey. He can't be mad at what lights up his whole old world. Alright stand up and get ready. When you are done meet me at the garden where your grandpa is and we will discuss this new life coming to join our little family. Hurry up," Jiang Meilin pulled Bai Renxiang up and pushed her towards the bathroom to clean up.
"You seem excited and it is making me nervous mum," Bai Renxiang pursed her rosy lips. "Why should I not be excited. I am going to be a grandma and that too, very soon."
"Sigh, I feel like all your love has being stolen from me and given to your grandchild that might not even be formed yet," Bai Renxiang kept fussing over her mother's sudden happiness. "My love for you can't be stolen no matter what or how many people I care about. I will always love you," Jiang Meilin hugged and placed a light kiss on her daughter's forehead.
"I love you too."
