Chapter 482: White-Eyed Wolf
He was afraid that Tingting would do something that would be detrimental to his wife, or to the baby in his wife's belly.
Thinking of this, Chen Qing suppressed his inner uneasiness and asked with a smile: "Tingting, what's wrong with you? Why are you always looking at your mother's belly?"
Wang Lan had long been uncomfortable with Tingting's gaze, and after hearing the man's words, she also asked, "Yes, Tingting, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Tingting smiled and shook her head, but her eyes never left Wang Lan's belly.
"then you?"
Wang Lan tried to ask her if she knew about her pregnancy, but before she could finish her words, Tingting said, "Mom, I know you are pregnant."
When Chen Qing heard this, he became more certain that Tingting ran away from home because of the child in his wife's belly.
For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
They have raised Tingting for so many years, they must have deep feelings for her. If he abandons her because of the baby in his wife's belly, not only will he feel guilty, but he will also be criticized by others.
But if he kept Tingting, seeing that she kept staring at his wife's belly, he was worried that she would harm the baby in the belly.
Not to mention that Tingting is not her biological daughter, even if she is, there are some who harm her younger siblings.
Just when they didn't know what to do, Tingting spoke again and said, "Mom and Dad, you have two choices now. One is to let me go. From now on, we will no longer have any relationship. The other is to keep me, but you can't keep the baby in your belly."
Tingting seemed to be talking about two options, but in fact there was only one option, which was to let Chen Qing and Wang Lan let her go.
Because, no matter who it is, between a biological child and an adopted child, they will definitely choose their own. Chen Qing and Wang Lan are naturally the same, they have waited for this child for too long.
If they had not been unable to conceive after many years of marriage, they would not have adopted Tingting. Now that they finally have their own child, they must give birth to it.
After all, they are their own flesh and blood.
Then, they could only give up Tingting.
And this is exactly what Tingting wants.
She wanted to find Fu Guang, and it would be best if Fu Guang's parents could adopt her. Compared with Chen Qing and Wang Lan's family conditions, Fu Guang's family was naturally better.
Not only are Fu Guang's parents both cadres, his sister is also a doctor, and his brother-in-law is a future high-ranking official.
She believed that growing up in such a family would allow her to achieve greater success in her studies, future career, and marriage than if she had stayed in the Chen family.
"Tingting, what did you say?" Chen Qing and Wang Lan couldn't believe their ears after hearing Tingting's words.
Not to mention them, even the police officer next to them was shocked. He looked at Tingting with scrutiny and suspicion, wondering if she was still a little girl of four or five years old? If she could say such a thing, it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was a teenager.
Of course, this is not the point. The point is how could she be so selfish? She actually asked the Chen family to choose between her and the baby in her belly.
If it was his daughter who said that, he would have slapped her in the face.
I'm used to her!
Chen Qing calmed down and wanted to hit someone. But he raised his hand but didn't hit her. Because he suddenly realized that even if he hit Tingting, what would happen?
She has become an ungrateful person, what's the point of keeping her? If they force her to stay, maybe she will really harm their child.
Instead of this, it would be better to let her go as she wishes.
Thinking of this, Chen Qing suddenly became discouraged.
Compared to her husband, Wang Lan was more emotional. She thought Tingting said that because she was worried that she would no longer love and care about her after she had her own child.
Therefore, she looked at Tingting seriously and assured her, "Tingting, don't worry. Mom promises you that even if you have brothers and sisters, Mom will still love you."
"What you said sounds nice. What do you mean by still loving me? I think you want me to stay and work like a slave for your baby in your belly. Don't think I'm easy to fool because I'm young. I tell you, you can't fool me!"
"Look at you, kid. What are you saying? Mom is not that kind of person." Although Wang Lan was a little unhappy, she still tried to reason with Tingting.
However, as a person who traveled through the book, Tingting did not believe Wang Lan's words at all. She only believed what was written in the book. She only believed that after Wang Lan's baby was born, the couple would start to exploit her, asking her to take care of the baby, do housework, and work like a slave for their child and the family.
"Not that kind of person?" Tingting sneered, pointing at Wang Lan and questioning, "Do you dare to swear to heaven that you won't need me to take care of your children? Don't need me to do housework in the future?"
After hearing this, Wang Lan was completely stunned and couldn't speak for a long time.
Who hasn't gone through this? The older ones take care of the younger ones. Isn't it natural for girls to help with housework when they grow up?
Why do these things seem not to be right when they come into Tingting's mouth?
Wang Lan couldn't understand why her adopted daughter, who should have been well-behaved and sensible, suddenly became like this?
Why does Tingting look more and more like an ungrateful person now?
They brought her up when she was little and worked hard to raise her. Isn't it her duty to help take care of the children and do housework?
"Why are you silent? Are you afraid to swear? Look, you say nice things, but what about the reality?"
"Tingting, it's not what you think. Listen to what mom says..."
Before Wang Lan could finish her words, she was interrupted by Tingting. She said loudly, "Stop talking. I don't want to hear it. Now, you choose, me or the baby in your belly."
"Tingting, you..." Wang Lan wanted to persuade her again, but Chen Qing stopped her and said, "Wife, stop talking. Since she has made up her mind and doesn't want to stay in our house, let's fulfill her wish. Our temple is small and can't accommodate a big Buddha like her, so let's just forget it."
"But..." Wang Lan wanted to say that Tingting was still young. If they didn't want her, what would she do? Should she be sent back to the orphanage?
But Chen Qing didn't want to listen to his wife anymore. He saw it more clearly than his wife. They had raised Tingting, this ungrateful woman, in vain.
So he stopped her again and didn't let her finish her words.
"Wife, stop talking. If she wants to climb up the social ladder, let her do it. I want to see if she can really become a daughter-in-law after leaving our family."
That’s right, in Chen Qing’s opinion, only young ladies from wealthy families would be treated this way if they don’t take care of their younger brothers and sisters and don’t help with housework.
Wang Lan always listened to men, and after hearing what Chen Qing said, she just sighed.
She knew that her husband was more rational than her and could judge people better than she did.
She didn't want to lose the baby in her belly that she had worked so hard to get, and she didn't want to keep Tingting, the ungrateful child, by her side.
