Chapter 45 Chapter 45 House sat beside him and thought for a long time...

House sat beside him and thought for a long time. He knew that he should not ask more questions, such as where you are going and how to live.

He picked the most insignificant question: "Then will your ID card be returned to your hometown?"

Yes, where should she be transferred to?

Qiao Xiaozhen had never thought about this question. Transfer to her hometown, where is her hometown? Both parents are gone, and I am afraid that both the grandparents have passed away.

At that time, it was popular to move to a collective household registration when studying in college. Qiao Yihua was against it, saying that if she went through all this, she

would become an illegal resident and have nothing. That's why the current dilemma has been caused.

Regarding this issue, she called Qiao Yihua again at night, using his mobile phone number.

No one answered for a long time.

When Xiaozhen was lying on the bed and about to fall asleep, the phone rang. She wanted to ask directly, but asked in a more tactful way: "What should I call you in the future?"

"Are you calling just to ask this?"

Xiaozhen said "Yeah" in a very soft voice.

"Call me by my name, what do you want to call me?"

"Okay." Xiaozhen paused and asked, "Do I need to replace my ID card? Do I need to change my address and household registration?"

Qiao Yihua looked at the calendar and said, "Come to my office next Wednesday morning, and we'll talk about this in person."

They made an appointment at 11:10 a.m., and he happened to have half an hour.

Xiaozhen has been feeling unwell these days, but she can't tell where it is. She has a sore waist and legs, and she is in a low mood and lacks energy. Although she has not been in high spirits, otherwise she would have gone to the company to find him when she received the express delivery.

It is not easy for her to go out once, especially with the excuse of going to the hospital, so on Wednesday she thought about going to the hospital in advance to make an appointment so as not to delay the meeting after 11 o'clock.

The doctor asked her about her condition briefly and found nothing wrong.

"Have you been sitting for too long at work?"

Xiaozhen: "I haven't been working, I've been resting at home."

"Your bloating may be caused by food accumulation. Exercise more and go out for a walk. Young people can't lie down every day."

Xiaozhen: "I don't eat much. I don't know why I always feel a little uncomfortable this month."

The doctor took out his stethoscope, "tsk", and said, "This girl." He

quickly wrote a prescription, "Go and draw blood first, bring it back directly after the blood is drawn, and see if you need a color ultrasound."

Xiaozhen only knew half of it.

The doctor asked: "Are you married?"

She shook her head: "No."

The doctor wrote something while saying: "Young people nowadays don't pay attention. It may take a while for the results to come out after your blood is drawn. You can go and get a few glasses of water to drink more, and hold your urine to facilitate the color ultrasound."

Xiaozhen finally understood what he meant.

"Doctor, are you saying I'm pregnant?"

The doctor said, "It's almost certain. When was your last menstrual period?"

"Last?"

"How long has it been since you last had your period?"

She thought for a moment, "It's been more than a month since the last one ended. It seems to have come in November."

The doctor nodded, "Go and draw blood. You can come in directly in a while."

Qiao Xiaozhen felt mixed emotions. When she bought the test strips, they said the accuracy rate was 90%. How could she still be pregnant?

After the blood was drawn, she was worried and didn't drink much water. When the results came out, she couldn't understand them.

The doctor glanced at the test report and said, "It's confirmed that you are pregnant. Have you drunk water? If not, drink a few glasses."

Xiaozhen was puzzled: "I did a test strip and it didn't show anything."

"Girl, your progesterone level is almost 15, and your human chorionic gonadotropin level is about to reach 100,000. You are not pregnant yet? The test strips don't show anything because the test was not done properly. Go and line up for a B-ultrasound."

Xiaozhen was completely stunned.

This time was completely different from the last time. Last time, she got pregnant and miscarried without knowing it. This time, she had to face it head-on. Suddenly, waves of soreness churned in her stomach.

An hour had passed since she queued up for the ultrasound. She leaned against the wall and waited for her name to be called. She looked up at the hospital clock and saw that it was already 11:30. Her mind went blank the whole

time. The ultrasound was done very quickly and the results came out in a few minutes. She made a follow-up appointment after noon.

The doctor took a look and said, "You are now nine weeks pregnant and the baby is developing well. Talk to your family and your boyfriend. The latest decision should not be made after twelve weeks."

Xiaozhen asked, "What?"

"It's about deciding whether to have the operation. It's more convenient to have the operation three months ago. After that, it will cause great harm to the female body. So make a decision as soon as possible."

Who should she discuss it with at this time?

She didn't have many friends or family. Qiao Yihua should have been happier some time ago. But now? He ended it so decisively. How could she start over?

Xiaozhen didn't even think about starting over.

She had clearly felt that if parents didn't like each other and got tired of each other, it would affect their children. The children would seek love for their whole lives. Wouldn't that be a repetition of her life?

So the child must be aborted.

It was gloomy when she walked out of the hospital. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon. She didn't know if Qiao Yihua was still at the company. No one answered the public phone, whether she called her cell phone or the company phone at home.

I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but I suddenly

felt retching and couldn't stand up. She had already cried a lot and didn't want to cry anymore.

A little snow fell from the sky, and Xiaozhen took a taxi back home. The

taxi couldn't enter the villa. She felt that she had been walking for a long time. The rain and snow in the sky soaked her hair and windbreaker. She didn't even hear the sound of the car next to her.

Qiao Yihua thought she was deliberately throwing a tantrum. After the car window was lowered, he glanced at Xiaozhen, but she still walked forward and ignored him.

Not far from home, the rain and snow were getting heavier. The driver honked a few more times as instructed. Qiao Xiaozhen was startled and walked to a position closer to the roadside. Only then did she see Qiao Yihua's face sitting in the car. She ignored him and continued to walk forward in a daze.

She was really pitiful and hateful. It was hard to say a harsh word to her in this state.

When Xiaozhen walked back, Wu Ma brought new clothes and towels. The air conditioner at home had just been turned on and there was no warmth yet.

"Go take a shower and come over to talk later."

Qiao Yihua looked at her embarrassed appearance without being too harsh. He almost called the police an hour ago.

She was not a person who liked to be late. She waited from 11 o'clock until 1 o'clock but she was nowhere to be found. She called home and said she had left early in the morning. She also questioned Fangzi. Fangzi told her the time to buy the train ticket under questioning, but it was not today.

Qiao Yihua was very angry and told Fangzi that even if Xiaozhen was not his woman, she was his sister who he raised. He still had the final say on who she was with. It was a mean act to take advantage of the critical moment to do something.

It was very gentlemanly to say that several people went to look for her together.

When I got home, I thought I would call the police immediately if she was still nowhere to be found. I didn't expect to meet her in the rain.

She took a long bath. When she came out, the house was warm and her face was red.

It was during these two hours that she convinced herself of her future plans. She would leave Shanghai after aborting the baby. If she didn't want to go to Shanghai, she could go to a small city in the south to learn tailoring again, which she had learned from her grandmother, save some money to buy a small house, open a tailor shop, and spend her life slowly. She thought he didn't need her money, so he didn't want to pay her back.

She was much more stable.

It was already dark when Qiao Xiaozhen came out. She knocked on the door, and the person inside let her in, but she still stood still at the door.

It wasn't that she didn't remember the password, but she didn't want to use it.

Qiao Yihua came over, opened the door, and started smoking again. He hadn't quit for a week and relapsed.

Xiaozhen was just sitting on the sofa when she was told.

"Go blow dry your hair. There's a hair dryer in my bathroom."

She did as she was told, even though she had just blow dried it.

"Did you cut your hair?" He asked at the door at some point.

It was a long time ago.

"Stop smoking. I feel uncomfortable when I smell it."

"Just bear with it if it makes you uncomfortable."

Xiaozhen turned off the hair dryer and grabbed her hair. "Do you know that men who smoke, drink, and have irregular work and rest and diet after the age of 30 will have their sperm quality reduced and become infertile?"

Qiao Yihua laughed. "You're good at biology."

"Generally speaking, it's all men's problems."

He put out his cigarette and turned around in his chair.

"You are not the most upright person who won't bow down for a few dollars. After the relationship is dissolved, you can go wherever you want. If you have money, you can buy a house and settle down. If you have a high degree of education, you can settle down anywhere in the country. But you should not be able to go back to your hometown. After all, you may be driven out if you go back because of a dispute over a piece of land, not to mention that your family thinks you are in jail."

Qiao Xiaozhen was not sensitive. He was telling the truth.

But she seemed unable to confront him as before. When she heard him say something more extreme, she would feel a natural sense of grievance after getting pregnant.

He was like a person who was watching a joke and pretended to be very rational for her analysis.

"Men like women who act like a spoiled child and have personality, but if they go too far, they will become pretentious, and pretentiousness means being ignorant and making people bored."

He is a man, and even a person in power. Naturally, he thinks from a male-centered perspective and only says what men like, not what women like.

"Now your choice is obvious. You can transfer your ownership to Shanghai. I will buy you a house and put your name on it. I can even transfer your ownership by introducing talents with an investment quota, provided that I can see you at any time." He stared at the woman, with her long hair and a rosy and soft face and slightly red lips. When she likes someone, she is beautiful even in a sick way. He paused for a few seconds and continued, "The second option is to terminate the relationship. After that, you need to pay off all the expenses over the years. The bill will be clearly listed. If you cannot pay it off within the specified time, I reserve the right to pursue legal responsibility." In the end,

his purpose was still the same, but he did not give her any way out and used threats and inducements.

She leaned on the sofa and did not speak.

He was even more excited.

"Do you know what makes me angry? He plotted against me behind my back with other people, without a trace of remorse or even feeling that he deserved the punishment."

"I didn't."

"No? Aren't you ashamed to say that? What were you discussing with the house without telling me? Do you think I didn't know that the train tickets were already bought? What, do you think he dares to marry you? Or are you going to use him and kick him away? You're so capable!"

Qiao Yihua got angry when she talked about it, and she got even angrier when she didn't react.

Once you get angry, you will have a distorted mentality. If it were a man, how great it would be. I don't know how many times I would have beaten him and scolded him. I would have dug up his ancestors' graves.
