Chapter 685: It Might Really Be Chen Chaofa’s
At that moment, Liu Shasha had already braced herself to be heartbroken, and the bystanders like An Ran were also prepared to watch her swallow her pride again.
But Zhang Boxun, carrying the unconscious Tang Siluo, turned and walked away. He did not ask Liu Shasha to heal Tang Siluo.
Because he cared about Liu Shasha.
Because he understood at least a little of what was in her heart. And Zhang Boxun felt that forcing her to heal Tang Siluo would be too cruel to her.
He felt sorry for her.
The instant he turned away, Liu Zhi arrived with a few young men, rushed up, and pulled Liu Shasha into their arms. Every one of them glared angrily at Zhang Boxun and urged Liu Shasha to leave with them.
From a distance, An Ran walked over, glanced at Zhang Boxun and Tang Siluo’s retreating figures, then jabbed her finger against Liu Shasha’s forehead irritably and asked: “Is your mouth really that incapable of keeping things in???”
After this, who would dare tell Liu Shasha any secrets again? An Ran certainly wouldn’t—Liu Shasha’s big mouth was no different from Tang Siluo’s.
Apparently Zhang Boxun had a lifelong fondness for loudmouthed women.
If one wanted to put it nicely, they “lacked scheming.” If not nicely—just plain stupid.
Liu Shasha looked aggrieved, rubbing her forehead as she told An Ran, “You saw what happened just now. I was trying to keep Tang Siluo’s secret, but she suddenly went crazy and insisted on fighting me. Hmph! And look at Doll in her belly—who knows whose it is. Could really be Chen Chaofa’s. That’d be even more trouble later.”
Those words reminded An Ran of exactly that.
She glared at Liu Shasha and told Liu Zhi: “Take your Shasha home and teach her properly. If she doesn’t sew that big mouth smaller, no one will be cleaning up her messes when she causes real trouble.”
Liu Zhi slapped Liu Shasha on the back and scolded, “Why do you care whose child it is? What does that have to do with you? How many times have I told you—disaster comes from the mouth! Just wait and see, Tang Siluo will definitely hate you now. Why drag home such a needless enemy???”
Still scolding, Liu Zhi dragged the utterly wronged Shasha away.
An Ran then turned around, pulled her sled—her round dumpling of a baby sitting on it like a little laughing Maitreya—and headed straight for where Tang Siluo lived.
On the way, Fatty came running over. Clearly he had heard about the conflict earlier and came to explain what he knew.
According to the timeline, Doll in Tang Siluo’s belly should be around eight weeks old now—about two months. Fatty had asked her about it, but Tang Siluo refused to say who the father was. She had even knelt and begged Fatty to hide her pregnancy.
She had also begged him to arrange a doctor to get rid of the child.
But since he learned about this, everything had happened one after another: Chen Chaofa bombing Hexi, Snow Wolf tunneling under Hexi’s ice, Hexi’s evacuation to Hedong—too many major incidents.
An abortion, whether big or small, was not something simple to perform in the apocalypse.
So Fatty delayed it again and again. And by now, the procedure still hadn’t been done.
According to statements from the survivors in the Grand Fortune Hotel, the child was very likely Chen Chaofa’s—because Tang Siluo had been handed over to Chen Chaofa by Lei Jiang more than two months ago.
