Chapter 1259: Chapter 1286: Relocating to Beijiang 19

Jiang Tian seemed rooted to the spot, her pale lips slightly parted, speaking with a stutter due to her surprise, "Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu agreed?"

Liu Qian’s smile deepened around her eyes, her pianist’s aura shining, with a smile like a blooming peony, "Yes, Xingshen is taking responsibility for you and your child. So, Tiantian, are you willing?"

Jiang Tian bit her lip, her eyes flickering uncertainly, Lu Xingshen suddenly scoffed, his voice cold to the bone, "Isn’t this your goal? Why pretend hesitation now?"

"Shut up!" Liu Qian snapped sharply, then gently touched Jiang Tian’s hair, speaking softly, "Tiantian, Auntie isn’t forcing you. If you’re unwilling to marry, there’s another option — you could stay with the Lu Family, and I’ll take care of you until you have the baby and finish your confinement, but we would keep the child to raise in the Lu Family."

Jiang Tian immediately showed a guarded expression, "This is my child."

Liu Qian said softly,

"Don’t be anxious, I don’t mean to take your child. It’s just that alone, you can’t properly care for the child. Our Lu Family is well-established and can provide excellent education and lifestyle for the child. If you take the child, you also have to work; do you have the money to care for them?

Even if you take it to court, the child would end up with our Lu Family. Auntie is doing this for your sake; being a single mother is very difficult, do you understand?"

Jiang Tian understood this truth, having the child raised in the Lu Family would ensure the best arrangements; it was a good choice.

But being separated from her child was worse than death.

And she feared, what if Lu Xingshen disliked the child and abused them?

What if later Lu Xingshen got married, and the stepmother was bad and mistreated the child?

Torn with conflict, Jiang Tian anxiously looked toward Nianyang, who pulled her aside to analyze,

"Sweetie, I think Auntie’s two proposals both make sense. What do you think, tell me?"

Jiang Tian said, "I don’t want to be separated from my child."

"Then you can only marry Lu Xingshen." Nianyang said, "Although I think choosing to give the child to the Lu Family is the best solution, this is your life, you should consider it well. But you know, Lu Xingshen likes Nuannuan, he’s very bad. With no emotional bond between husband and wife, it’ll be tough. Are you prepared to endure grievances marrying him?"

Jiang Tian said softly, "I understand, but Nianyang, who else would like me now? I don’t actually hope Mr. Lu would like me, but I want the child to have a complete family. If I’m better to him in the future, maybe he will be good to the child too; this is my greatest wish."

Nianyang couldn’t help but sigh, thinking Jiang Tian still carried a unique feudal mindset of this era, easily suffering losses, but she couldn’t say anything.

Jiang Tian agreed to marry Lu Xingshen.

Liu Qian bloomed into a smile, "That’s wonderful then, let’s go to your home now and discuss the wedding arrangements together."

Jiang Tian blushed, "My parents are in the country, we might not be able to discuss, and I’ve always been afraid to tell them about this."

Liu Qian was stunned, indeed, the girl was pregnant before marriage, her son made a mess and the girl wouldn’t dare let her parents know.

She thought for a moment,

"Then how about this, you come home with us, and I’ll call your parents about this. I’ll put all the blame on Xingshen, you don’t need to worry, okay?"

Jiang Tian glanced at Nianyang, cautiously asking, "Can I have Nianyang with me? She’s my sister."

Liu Qian smiled, "Of course you can."
