2: Chapter 2 The Charming Father
The pregnant woman was stunned; she turned to look at Lin Xiao, then at Xiao Li.
They hadn't mentioned that Lin Xiao was a cripple before, had they?
But she had taken the money, after all, so she had to see the act through to the end.
She scrambled up and lunged at Lin Xiao, who was in the wheelchair. "Lin Xiao! You heartless man..."
She actually repeated the exact same words she had just said!
Except for the pregnant woman herself, everyone present fell silent.
Was she a machine?
Couldn't she change her script?
Lin Xiao said with a hurt expression, "Xiaoxue, to think you could even mistake someone else for me. You, you make me so sad..."
Xiaoxue? Who is Xiaoxue?
They hadn't mentioned this part before!
The pregnant woman was confused, but seeing that Lin Xiao acknowledged it, which counted as a success, she continued to wail, "It's all your fault. That night after you drank... and later, you kept shutting me out. I've even forgotten what you look like."
Such a clumsy excuse made Xiao Li and Su Xiumei, who were standing nearby, twitch their lips.
Xiao Li wanted to step forward to ask for clarification, but Su Xiumei stopped him with a look.
Whether it was true or false, Su Xiumei wanted to see how Lin Xiao would handle this.
Lin Xiao grabbed the pregnant woman's hand and said sincerely, "Xiaoxue, I didn't expect you to stay by my side even though I'm paralyzed. I'm so touched! Let's go get our marriage certificate in a while. With you by my side to take care of me for the rest of my life, I'm content..."
When these words were spoken, the pregnant woman froze.
She only wanted someone to take the blame; how did it turn into her spending her whole life here?
Lin Xiao continued, "Oh right, and our child. I've checked before; in some poor families, children can cook for the family at three years old. Later, our child can cook, and you can be responsible for cleaning up after me. We'll be a happy family of three!"
The pregnant woman's face changed completely.
Recalling the words of the person from before, the pregnant woman was still somewhat unwilling to give up.
She was clearly only one step away from being a wealthy wife...
She turned to look at the dignified woman beside her, wondering if she should try to start with this "future mother-in-law".
Before she could speak, Lin Xiao spoke first, "Xiaoxue, look at how I am now. I don't want to drag anyone else down. The three of us will just live in this small courtyard. Later, you can pull up all these flowers and plant some vegetables instead. We can be self-sufficient!"
As he said this, he looked up and winked at Su Xiumei.
Su Xiumei also guessed what was happening by now and said coldly, "Our Lin family has strict rules. Since A-Xiao tried to abandon you and your child, he is an ungrateful person and does not deserve to return to our Lin family! As for you..."
Speaking of this, Su Xiumei turned to look at the pregnant woman, "We will not accept an indecent woman who gets pregnant out of wedlock into our Lin family!"
The pregnant woman was rendered speechless.
How was this different from the plot she imagined?
Didn't they say that rich families value heirs the most?
Even if they gave her a sum of money and let her leave the child, that would have been fine!
Seeing Su Xiumei cooperating so well, Lin Xiao quickly added fuel to the fire, "Xiaoxue, let's go. We'll go get the marriage certificate right now."
As he said this, he turned the wheelchair with one hand and grabbed the pregnant woman's wrist with the other.
The pregnant woman panicked completely and struggled, "Wait, wait a minute. I, I recognized the wrong person! You are not my child's father, you are not!"
"Xiaoxue, how can you say that..."
Lin Xiao pretended to be sad and wiped his eyes.
The pregnant woman couldn't keep up the act anymore; she shook off Lin Xiao's hand and hurried outside.
As she walked, she muttered in disgust, "If I had known he was a damn cripple, I wouldn't have come. Damn it, trying to trick me into serving someone? In your dreams!"
The pregnant woman held her belly and walked away quickly, disappearing in no time.
Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and stood up from the wheelchair.
He stood tall and straight; where was there any trace of him being disabled?
He pushed the wheelchair to the yard next door, "Thanks, Uncle Zhang. Returning the wheelchair to you!"
After returning, he looked at Su Xiumei and smiled brightly, "Mom, I've packed my things. We can go now."
Su Xiumei looked at Lin Xiao's eyes, which were eight parts similar to her own, and smiled gently.
Seeing Lin Xiao resolve the pregnant woman's scheme so easily, she was very pleased.
Having a smart biological son was a good thing.
However, she recalled the inner thoughts of Lin Xiao she had heard earlier.
She still didn't want to believe it; even if Lin Yu wasn't her biological son, she had raised him since he was young. How could he do such a thing?
After thinking it over, Su Xiumei felt there must be some misunderstanding.
Lin Xiao's luggage was minimal, just an old, faded backpack.
Su Xiumei felt heartbroken looking at it and immediately instructed Xiao Li to go buy some clothes and daily necessities that Lin Xiao could use that afternoon.
Walking to the intersection, Lin Xiao saw two luxury cars parked not far away.
In front was a Porsche, and behind it was a Bentley.
"A-Xiao, your father is here."
Su Xiumei looked at the Bentley and said with a smile, "Your father is usually very busy. Today, knowing that I was coming to find you, he pushed aside his work and rushed over."
At this moment, the back door of the Bentley opened.
Lin Qingshan couldn't even wait for the driver to open the door; he got out of the car impatiently.
Looking at Lin Xiao, his eyes were full of excitement.
"Is this our biological son? This physique, this appearance! Not bad, not bad. He really inherited my genes!"
Lin Qingshan patted Lin Xiao's shoulder heavily.
Lin Xiao looked at the middle-aged man in a sharp suit in front of him. Although he was already fifty and had some fine lines at the corners of his eyes, one could still see the handsomeness of his youth.
[Tsk tsk, as expected of my biological father, he is indeed handsome. No wonder he is coveted wherever he goes! Those women, from eighteen to fifty-eight, all want to climb into his bed!]
Hearing this voice, Su Xiumei's face sank instantly.
