Chapter 165 Li Tingxue helps analyze the situation, Xi Linyu is so frightened that she seeks help fr
Hearing Xi Linyu's words, Li Tingxue's expression instantly became extremely complicated, truly indescribable!
Her idea may have been well-intentioned, but it must be said that it does contain some elements that could be detrimental.
If she hadn't died in childbirth, the things that happened afterward would have been very different.
Li Tingxue frowned, looking at Xi Linyu with a worried expression, and said insincerely, "What if you accidentally get pregnant?"
"Furthermore, if the child you're carrying is Liu Wenrui's, that's fine, but if it's your brother-in-law Song Lianshan's child..."
"At that point, can you be sure they'll let you go and let you come out of the delivery room alive?"
At this point, Li Tingxue paused, then continued, "You'd better think about it again. If your biological father doesn't protect you, and your stepmother and stepsister are always watching you closely, waiting for an opportunity to strike."
At that time, you had completely offended the Liu family, and you were pregnant and gave birth all alone with your big belly, without any close relatives by your side to protect you.
This is tantamount to stepping into the gates of hell, completely entrusting your life and death to someone else. Aren't you afraid?
Li Tingxue gently shook her head, sighed, and continued, "Wake up. When everything was fine for you, no one was willing to stand up for you."
When you're isolated and helpless, do you really expect someone to suddenly take pity on you and protect you?
Wow, I never expected you to be so amazing!
[My daughter-in-law actually figured out the truth behind this whole thing in no time! She's really improved!]
Li Tingxue smiled slightly and replied humbly in her heart: Thank you for the compliment, Mother-in-law. Actually, it's all thanks to your excellent teaching!
At this moment, Celine felt a sudden chill run down her spine. She gritted her teeth and forced herself to say, "Hmph, they dare?"
"Come on, you should know better than anyone else. Didn't you already suspect they killed your own mother?"
If they're capable of doing something like this, what wouldn't they dare to do?
At this point, Li Tingxue paused, staring directly at Xi Linyu, and continued her analysis: "Furthermore, if you have already given birth to the child..."
Just as you think, your brother-in-law can inherit all the family property left by your father simply by holding the son you gave birth to.
So, at that point, will you still be of any use to him? Do you really expect him to remember our past relationship and spare your life?
"Moreover, how could your stepsister possibly tolerate you continuing to live in this world and competing with her for the position of the matriarch of the Song family?"
Once you "die unexpectedly," she can rightfully raise your child. At that point, the entire Song and Xi families' businesses will fall completely into her hands.
For example, it would be so easy to tamper with something during your delivery.
They might cause you to lose too much blood during childbirth, or bribe the midwife to neglect her duties or even deliberately delay, or secretly send an inconspicuous person to sabotage the process...
In short, there are countless methods that can cause a woman's death during childbirth. Taking your life easily is a simple matter of course.
Celine Yu was stunned. Before today, she had never thought about these things.
All along, what she had been thinking about was that if she could successfully conceive Song Lianshan's child, it would bring her many benefits.
First, this will be an excellent opportunity for her to completely break free from the Liu family's control. Second, she can use this opportunity to thoroughly disgust that repulsive mother and daughter.
More importantly, since this child is her father's only bloodline, she always believed that her father would value this child highly and would designate this child to inherit his family property.
In Celine Yu’s view, there is no difference between her children inheriting the inheritance and her own personal inheritance.
After all, no matter what, she will always be the eldest daughter of the Xi family, with a prestigious and unshakeable position.
When that time comes, she can easily instruct her children to drive that disgusting mother and daughter out of the house to vent her anger.
But if Li Tingxue's words hadn't reminded her, she probably wouldn't have fully realized the risks involved.
No, she couldn't keep thinking positively while remaining completely unaware of the hidden danger.
"Then... what should I do now?"
At this moment, Xi Linyu was completely panicked, helplessly touching her stomach and muttering:
"I...I've already slept with my brother-in-law, and who knows, I might already be pregnant. Do I really have to be so heartless as to abort this child?"
Li Tingxue was immediately speechless.
"...You don't even know if you're pregnant or not, so why are you thinking about aborting the child? What you should be doing right now is going to see a doctor to get a proper check-up and see if you're actually pregnant."
Also, you should go to your father and see what his attitude is towards this matter. If your father is willing to protect you, ask him to find a safe place for you to give birth.
"But if he's willing, you can always turn to the Liu family for help. If you can offer half of your family fortune, I don't believe the Liu family wouldn't be tempted!"
At this point, Li Tingxue thought of Xi Linyu's biological mother and shook her head. As for her biological mother, she probably couldn't be relied on.
That woman has always treated Xi Linyu as nothing more than a "tool." Even if there is some mother-daughter affection between the two, when faced with huge interests, even this kinship would probably have to give way.
Not to mention she also has a beloved eldest daughter!
Just by looking at the son-in-law she carefully chose for her eldest daughter, you can tell that her heart is clearly biased towards her eldest daughter.
To Li Tingxue's utter surprise, Xi Linyu responded in this way immediately after she finished speaking:
"Then... if I give you half of my fortune, can you guarantee the safety of me and the baby in my womb?"
"Uh……"
"Me?! But we're mortal enemies..."
Xi Linyu bit her lip tightly, trying to control her emotions, but her trembling lips betrayed her unease and inner turmoil.
"Just tell me if you're going to help or not? It's half of my family's fortune. You wouldn't take money that's practically handed to you unless you, Li Tingxue, are a complete idiot."
"Also, your husband isn't necessarily reliable. I advise you to be smart and accumulate more wealth to protect yourself."
"If something happens and you get kicked out of the Shen family, you won't end up without even food to eat..." Xi Linyu deliberately emphasized the importance of money.
"Hehe, Xi Linyu, is this how you ask for help? You should have the right attitude when asking for help," Li Tingxue said, frowning.
"Just tell me, are you going to help or not?" After saying that, Xi Linyu stared straight at Li Tingxue.
Just then, Li Tingxue muttered to herself, she definitely didn't want to help, after all, she and Xi Linyu had always been at odds...
However, before she could refuse, Mianmian suddenly interjected:
“Help? Of course I’ll help. You’ve known Tingxue for so many years, there must be some feelings between you. Now that she sees you’re in trouble, she’ll definitely be willing to help.”
As she spoke, Mianmian kept giving Li Tingxue meaningful glances, signaling her to cooperate with her.
【Ahhhhhhh…………】
[Oh my goodness, half of the family fortune! Only a fool would refuse!]
[Tingxue, listen to me, don't do anything foolish right now!]
Promise her, promise her...
Li Tingxue blinked, looking at Mianmian's eager eyes, and thought: The Xi family's wealth is indeed incredibly tempting, but if I agree to Xi Linyu's offer, I don't know how much trouble it will cause in the future.
Also, does Mother really intend to confront the Xi family head-on for money?
Why doesn't she think about that?!
Isn't she afraid that the three major families—the Xi, Liu, and Song families—will unite to cause trouble for the Shen family?
It should be noted that these three families have considerable influence and sphere of influence in the capital. If they join forces to deal with the Shen family, it will be a real headache for them!
Li Tingxue kept her mouth tightly shut and didn't say a word.
She cried inwardly: Shen Xiuyan, I really can't hold on any longer. I've tried my best, but I'm helpless against such a greedy mother-in-law.
Shen Xiuyan, after all, she is your own mother, and there's nothing I can do about it!
Forget it, forget it. You guys surnamed Shen can figure out how to solve this yourselves!
Just then, Xi Linyu, who was standing to the side, said with a big smile, "Oh, Aunt Jiang, you are such a kind person!"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Jiang immediately perked up and said with great enthusiasm, "Haha, you only realize how good I am now? Let me tell you, my greatest virtue is my kind heart!"
If you don't believe me, you can ask Tingxue. I don't have any particular hobbies; my only hobby is helping others.
"Recently, I've helped quite a few poor women. Those despicable scumbags not only swindled them out of their money, but also deceived their feelings, and even took advantage of their children..."
As they talked, Xi Linyu naturally took Jiang Mianmian's arm and listened to her recount the "glorious deeds" of saving those wives of gay men.
She talked at length about every detail, each one a "proud moment" in her life.
After she finished speaking, Aunt Jiang patted Xi Linyu's hand and comforted her, "So, little Linyu, you can rest assured. Our Shen family has a spacious and luxurious villa in the suburbs of the capital!"
The environment there is beautiful, and the security measures are very strict, so it's absolutely safe and reliable. You can definitely go there to give birth when it's time for you to give birth.
Furthermore, my family has two professional midwives who are always on standby to ensure a smooth delivery for you!
"Look at her, Tingxue has given birth to five children in a row. And all of them were delivered by the two midwives in the family."
There's absolutely nothing wrong with this; you wouldn't guess she's had such a child.
Hearing Jiang Mianmian's words, Xi Linyu was even more satisfied!
