Fifty-something Wang Wenqiang’s hair had turned white from worry over Wang Na’s pregnancy.
“Nana, you’re my only daughter. From the day you were born, I’ve indulged your every whim, except for this one thing.”
“The Tang family is ruined. Although Tang Yu works at Tang Shi, he can’t even scrape together two hundred yuan. If you stay with him, you won’t have a good life.”
“Listen to your father, get rid of the child. When Qu Mingzhe returns, marry him. He’s successful, and he’s always liked you. He’s the man worth entrusting your life to.”
…
“Dad, you’re pregnant with Tang Yu’s child, how can you do this!”
“I’m not having an abortion, I absolutely refuse to have an abortion!”
…
“Hmph! This is not up to you!”
Wang Wenqiang’s sudden ferocity.
“Take her in!”
Two bodyguards forcibly held Wang Na’s left and right arms, dragging her into the operating room.
“No! Don’t!”
“Let go of me! Help! Let go of me!”
…
Wang Na’s desperate cries were heart-wrenching.
Wang Wenqiang closed his eyes, convincing himself not to listen, not to be soft-hearted.
One wrong step leads to a cascade of errors. The mistake must be nipped in the bud.
Tang Yu was too problematic and too poor. For Wang Na’s happiness, he absolutely could not let Wang Na continue to be entangled with Tang Yu.
This child must not be kept.
Wang Na was wheeled onto the operating table.
The medical staff, having received Wang Wenqiang’s instructions, were prepared.
As soon as she was brought in, they used ropes to tie Wang Na to the operating table, securing her.
“Don’t!”
“Don’t touch me!”
“Ah! Let me go!”
…
The medical staff were as cold-blooded as demons, completely disregarding Wang Na’s feelings.
After securing Wang Na, the female doctor calmly said, “Anesthesiologist, prepare for anesthesia.”
The anesthesiologist pushed the syringe, adjusting the dosage.
With the assistance of several medical personnel, they prepared to inject Wang Na.
Her resistance was too strong; to ensure the surgery proceeded safely, they had to put her under general anesthesia, rendering her incapable of resisting.
The fine needle tip, aimed at the vein in Wang Na’s arm, brought a sharp sting as it pierced the skin.
“Ah!”
A piercing wail signaled the catastrophic outcome.
Just then.
*Bang!*
A loud noise echoed as the operating room door was kicked open.
The person rushed in like a gust of wind.
*Bang bang bang!!!*
As a few dull thuds sounded, the medical staff, who had been as cold-blooded as demons moments ago, all fell to the ground, groaning.
Tang Xiaomin’s hand precisely gripped the syringe in Wang Na’s arm; she had been just in time.
The pressure in the vein would automatically draw the liquid from the syringe slowly.
Without a moment's delay, she pulled out the anesthetic needle and tossed it aside.
Wang Na, her eyes misty, stared in shock at the person who had come to save her.
“Tang Xiaomin! It’s you!”
No matter who it was, at this moment, anyone who could save her was her savior.
Tang Xiaomin said nothing, silently untying the ropes binding Wang Na.
This scene reminded her of her own memory of being tied to an operating table.
Anger flared, her movements rough. The once-sturdy ropes snapped under her strength, as fragile as paper.
Wang Na was stunned by Tang Xiaomin’s strength, completely forgetting her current predicament.
“Why are you so strong? This is a hemp rope, how did you break it by force?”
Tang Xiaomin looked at Wang Na speechlessly.
“You have the energy to worry about how I broke the rope, or should you be worrying about yourself?”
Saying that, Tang Xiaomin walked out of the operating room.
Wang Na got off the operating table and tightly followed Tang Xiaomin, afraid she would leave and she wouldn't be able to catch up, leaving her unprotected.
Outside the operating room, the two bodyguards lay on the ground, moaning continuously.
Wang Wenqiang, his face contorted with rage, glared at Tang Xiaomin.
“Tang Xiaomin, what do you mean? Are you trying to meddle in my family’s affairs?”
Tang Xiaomin’s identity meant she shouldn’t be interfering in others’ business, nor was she one to pry.
But today’s matter was special; she had to intervene.
“Mr. Wang, Wang Na is carrying Tang Yu’s child. Have you discussed with Tang Yu about terminating the pregnancy?”
Wang Wenqiang said coldly, “What nonsense are you talking about? Nana’s child is not Tang Yu’s. It has nothing to do with you, and you can’t interfere.”
Wang Na, holding Tang Xiaomin’s hand, retorted to Wang Wenqiang.
“No, the child is Tang Yu’s, it’s absolutely true.”
“You…”
Wang Wenqiang was so enraged his face turned green, and he stepped forward to teach Wang Na a lesson.
Seeing this, Wang Na cowered behind Tang Xiaomin in fear.
Tang Xiaomin shook her head helplessly.
She stood in front of Wang Wenqiang, neither subservient nor arrogant.
“Mr. Wang, let’s talk this through calmly. If you dare to lay a hand on her, I won’t be polite!”
Tang Xiaomin had previously easily knocked over two well-trained bodyguards, displaying astonishing combat prowess.
Her words, therefore, made Wang Wenqiang hesitate to act rashly.
If force wouldn’t work, he’d try persuasion.
Wang Wenqiang changed his approach.
“Tang Xiaomin, Nana and Tang Yu are not a good match. Please understand a father’s feelings. Who would want their daughter to be with a good-for-nothing who can’t even afford two hundred yuan?”
“Marriage is not just about fleeting love; it’s about the mundane realities of life. A marriage without a material foundation will eventually crumble.”
“If this child is born, it will only be Nana’s burden, her shackles. They won’t be happy together.”
The plight of parents who want the best for their children, who want them to have an easier, happier life.
To find a well-off partner and live a comfortable, happy life.
Tang Xiaomin felt a moment of confusion. Was she right or wrong to interfere in this matter?
Wang Na continued to argue.
“Dad, can a marriage without love be happy? If I can’t marry the person I love, even if you made me the Jade Emperor, I wouldn’t be happy.”
“As long as I’m with the person I like, even if it’s just for one day, I’ll feel happy.”
…
Tang Xiaomin was stunned by Wang Na’s view on love.
This was truly a top-tier love-struck fool; she was momentarily speechless.
Wang Na’s words made Wang Wenqiang want to kill himself on the spot.
“Tang Xiaomin, look, look at the foolish things she’s saying. She’s dumber than a pig. With this kind of thinking, she has no idea what she’s doing. Even if she has the child and stays with Tang Yu, she’ll regret it later.”
“What I’m doing now might be extreme, but I’d rather she hate me now than regret it in the future.”
…
“Dad, I won’t regret it. Tang Yu and I are truly in love,” Wang Na argued earnestly.
She then pulled Tang Xiaomin and pleaded with her.
“Tang Xiaomin, I beg you to take me to Tang Yu. Otherwise, my dad will still force me to abort the child. Please help me.”
