Chapter 324 - Even Giving Birth to a Placenta Would Be Better Than Giving Birth to You

Chapter 324: Even Giving Birth to a Placenta Would Be Better Than Giving Birth to You

As Cao Yang spoke, he suddenly calmed down. “My father told me this later on. At the time, he was actually conflicted and hesitant, but in the end, he still wanted to protect the mother. He just didn’t expect you to say it yourself before he even did.”

At this point, Cao Yang’s face was filled with mockery. The way he looked at Sister Wei became disdainful. “When you quarreled with my father, you said that he didn’t think highly of you, but in fact, he was prepared to protect you. He was sincere about you back then.

“So even if you hadn’t said so yourself, my father would’ve kept you alive!”

Cao Yang looked at Mu Jingzhe, waiting for her expression to change because of this.

Mu Jingzhe’s expression did change, but that was because she was disgusted. “So you’re saying that it’s perfectly fine for your father to answer the same question that way?”

Cao Yang frowned. “What do you mean?”

“I’m being literal. I’m very curious. What point are you trying to make by telling us that your father was prepared to choose the mother back then? Are you trying to express your hatred for him? After all, as a father, he was actually prepared to give up on you, his son. Isn’t he the most vicious father in the world?”

“I didn’t mean that. Why would I say that about my father? My father would give up on me reluctantly because he wanted to save his wife’s life. How could I blame him? Why should I hate him? I just wanted to make her feel ashamed!” Cao Yang glared at Sister Wei.

Mu Jingzhe scoffed. “Why was your father in pain? He’s not the one who was in pain. He’s not the one in danger either. Why should Sister Wei be ashamed?”

After she said this, Mu Jingzhe’s face suddenly darkened. “Cao Yang, why is it that even though both were ready to give the same answer to the same question—both choosing to protect the mother—your reaction is completely different? If a man asks the doctor to protect the mother, he’s a devoted, good man. If a woman says so, it makes her a heartless, bad woman. On what basis? Clearly, this concerns the woman’s life.”

Sister Wei was really shocked when she heard that. Everything that Mu Jingzhe had said expressed her heartfelt thoughts. That’s right. Why was this the case?

Xiao Mei suddenly looked up at Mu Jingzhe with a glint in her eyes.

The crowd, who had been watching the show previously, fell silent and pondered this seriously. Yes, why? On what basis?

Even though these people might not have all experienced this before, they would still encounter a few pregnant women in real life. At the end of the day, everything revolved around the children. People tended to be biased toward the children.

It seemed that when they were asked to choose between the child and the pregnant woman, they would also choose the child. But why?

Cao Yang’s mind was a mess as well after he heard Mu Jingzhe’s words, but before Mu Jingzhe could finish speaking, she stepped forward and looked at him. “Cao Yang, on what basis do you only hate your mother and not your father?”

Cao Yang was forced to retreat step by step. His mind was a mess. “Because this question should be answered by a man!”

“It’s the woman who’s in danger. Why can only the man answer? What right did he have to decide about another person’s life! Yes, you wanted to say that he was going to protect your mother, but is this worthy of praise?”

Mu Jingzhe found it uninteresting. “Isn’t this more terrifying than being generous at the expense of others? It’s basically taking someone else’s life to show your affection.”

The atmosphere instantly became heavier, and the girls and female staff who had given birth looked particularly gloomy. In the past, when they’d heard their husband say ‘you’re the most important’ while they were pregnant, they had all thought that it was sweet. But now that they thought about it, wasn’t it only natural?

The words ‘taking someone else’s life to show your affection’ stabbed their hearts fiercely, making them feel very upset.

Even the male colleagues thought a lot about this. It did seem sort of unacceptable.

Cao Yang’s mind was a mess, but he wanted to win the argument. “Don’t talk to me about this. That’s not what we’re talking about.”

Mu Jingzhe couldn’t be bothered to say more. She pulled Sister Wei aside. “Let’s go, Sister Wei. Don’t lower yourself to this person’s level. Just pretend you gave birth to a placenta.”

This was the first time Sister Wei and the others heard such a thing. They all burst into laughter.

“Placenta… Pfft…”

Everyone had originally been in an emotional mood, but Mu Jingzhe’s sudden mention of the placenta made the heavy atmosphere finally improve.

They laughed, making Cao Yang furious. “Mu Jingzhe, what do you mean? How can you say that I’m a placenta? Apologize to me and take back what you just said.”

Sister Wei couldn’t take it anymore. She was about to speak, but Mu Jingzhe stopped her. She still looked very easygoing. “Alright, I apologize.”

As soon as Cao Yang’s expression improved a little, he heard Mu Jingzhe say, “I apologize to the placenta. How can you compare to a placenta? Using the placenta as an analogy is an insult to it.”

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone fell silent again. In the end, they burst into laughter again.

“Mu Jingzhe, you’re courting death!” Cao Yang’s temper flared up. He couldn’t care less. He just wanted to hit Mu Jingzhe. His family had doted on him since he was young, so he had never endured such humiliation.

A trace of excitement flashed across Mu Jingzhe’s eyes. She had wanted to teach this thing a lesson for a long time, but it wasn’t appropriate for her to take the initiative to hit someone. It would be great if someone brought her a pillow right after she dozed off.

Cao Yang waved his fist and rushed forward. Then… There was no ‘then’.

Mu Jingzhe beat Cao Yang up so hard that he fell to his knees and started to cry. “Let go of me. Let go of me. You damn woman…”

Mu Jingzhe let go of Cao Yang and finally felt a little better. She abandoned Cao Yang and left with Sister Wei.

Everyone pointed at him, but no one helped Cao Yang. No one even came to look at him.

In the end, it was Xiao Mei who helped him up. “Stop cursing.”

Cao Yang was extremely embarrassed. Seeing that Xiao Mei wouldn’t help him, he already felt resentful. When he stood up and heard Xiao Mei still nagging, he couldn’t help but slap Xiao Mei. “Shut up! Why are you always on their side? Do you also want to protect the mother over the child in the future? Are you even a woman? Women have to be virtuous. Don’t you know…”

Xiao Mei turned around and hit him back. “Virtuous, your mother’s *ss. Get lost. Our engagement is invalid!”

Cao Yang hadn’t expected the good-tempered Xiao Mei to suddenly explode. He was shocked.

“Xiao Mei, why are you even using vulgarities? How dare you say that the engagement is invalid…”

“Why wouldn’t I dare say it? I pitied you because I was blind previously. I was blind enough to get engaged to you. If you want to protect your future child, go find someone who’s willing to do it for you. Don’t disgust me!”

Xiao Mei usually had a mild temper, but she wasn’t a clay figurine with no temper at all. Previously, she hadn’t known much about the situation and had only thought that Cao Yang had a bad mother. Now, it didn’t seem like it at all.

The way she viewed Cao Yang’s seemingly honest father and his kind-looking grandmother had changed, making her feel fear from the bottom of her heart.

She didn’t dare imagine what would happen if she accidentally married into this family. Previously, Cao Yang’s grandmother had even hinted that she should take care of her husband and children after marriage. At the end of the day, this meant that she shouldn’t act anymore.

The elderly woman didn’t really like the fact that she was an actress. Previously, she had hesitated because she really liked acting. Now, there was nothing to hesitate about. Fortunately, she hadn’t given up acting yet.

At the end of the day, she would find a husband who would allow her to continue filming after they got married. In any case, she couldn’t tolerate Cao Yang anymore.
