Chapter 178 - Jiang Tao’s Blankness
Chapter 178: Jiang Tao’s Blankness
Translator: Lonelytree
Jiang Tao was still in shock that Xiao Lingyu was pregnant. He appeared unable to accept Xiao Lingyu’s words. If he didn’t come from a unique background, he would have continued to pursue her. However, that was not the case…
When he came to, Xiao Lingyu had already left. He thought Chen Ran drugging Xiao Lingyu and having her raped was already the biggest shock. However, Xiao Lingyu had another surprise for him.
If Xiao Lingyu didn’t plan to have the child, he would fight for her at all costs. However, he couldn’t marry a woman carrying a child with an unknown father. It was not that Jiang Tao couldn’t accept that, but he knew the Jiang Family wouldn’t accept that.
Jiang Tao was in great pain. On the one hand, it was the woman he liked, and on the other, he could feel the despair coming from his family. If he insisted on marrying Xiao Lingyu, his grandfather would never forgive Xiao Lingyu. Xiao Lingyu was just a common girl, so how could she fight against the patriarch of a big family at the capital?
Jiang Tao felt so helpless. He didn’t know what to do. At that moment, he needed to calm down to think about his and Xiao Lingyu’s future.
…
On the other side, Li Yuanhang could not help but inquire about the Jiang family after returning to the capital.
After confirming the rumors, Li Yuanhang mentioned it to Gong Tianhao out of concern. “Tianhao, the Jiang Family has started to release the news of the marriage between the Jiang family and the Qin family.”
Gong Tianhao frowned, “Is the news accurate?”
“Yes!” Li Yuanhang said with certainty, “I heard that both families are hiding this news from Young Master Jiang. They are waiting for Young Master Jiang to come back, and then they will force him into the engagement directly!” Li Yuanhang hesitated. “Tianhao, if Young Master Jiang really gets engaged to the eldest daughter of the Qin family, what about Xiao Lingyu? Is she going to end up as Jiang Tao’s mistress?”
Li Yuanhang was sure that Jiang Tao really liked Xiao Lingyu. But Jiang Tao was also Young Master Jiang. Unless the Qin Family gave up, the marriage between him and the Qin Miss was a certainty. If he insisted on being with Xiao Lingyu, he had to give up being Young Master Jiang. However, his identity couldn’t be shed just like that.
Knowing how overbearing Old Master Jiang was, he would do anything to save Young Master Jiang, and that meant Xiao Lingyu would be in great danger.
Since Li Yuanhang could think of this, so could Gong Tianhao. In fact, Jiang Tao had thought of it too. If this was another woman, Li Yuanhang and Gong Tianhao would have ignored this. They might even think this was the girl’s karma for seducing Young Master Jiang.
However, they had formed an indissoluble bond with Xiao Lingyu from the first day they set foot on Xing Yin County. They also knew that Xiao Lingyu hadn’t accepted Jiang Tao. Of course, as outsiders, they had no idea if Xiao Lingyu even liked Jiang Tao or not.
Xiao Lingyu came from a loving and caring family. But if she got entangled with Young Master Jiang, Old Master Jiang would wipe them out. Li Yuanhang and Gong Tianhao couldn’t bear to see that happen.

Before things reached that state, the only people who could stop the Jiang Family was the Gong Family.
Gong Tianhao’s stern expression was slightly wrinkled. He took a puff of smoke, and the smoke lingered in front of the eyes, making his deep eyes faintly discernible. Then, he put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray and said faintly, “If Jiang Tao couldn’t handle his family, he wouldn’t have gone after Xiao Lingyu in the first place!”
“Tianhao,” Li Yuanhang asked, “Do you mean that Young Master Jiang can protect Xiao Lingyu?” He hoped that was the case.
Gong Tianhao said, “I know Jiang Tao. He can handle this!”
Jiang Tao looked unapproachable, but the man had known his direction in life since he was young. Furthermore, he was ultimately the eldest grandson of the Jiang Family. Old Master Jiang loved him unconditionally. Jiang Tao’s road was paved the moment he was born. As for Jiang Tao’s relationship, his family would naturally marry him to a big family to form an alliance. Jiang Tao knew his fate, so he never got interested in outside relationships.
However, fate couldn’t be stopped. Even Jiang Tao didn’t expect to fall in love with Xiao Lingyu after a few meetings. Xiao Lingyu was not more talented or beautiful than the socialites in the capital, but he was captured by Xiao Lingyu’s intelligence, courage, and directness.
Xiao Lingyu also had a very amiable charm. He would forget about his worries when he was around her. Jiang Tao could not help but fall in love with Xiao Lingyu.
Once that happened, it was as Gong Tianhao said. Since Jiang Tao had decided to pursue Xiao Lingyu, he had started to deal with things back home. Jiang Tao struggled for a long time and came up with a firm plan before he made the decision to confess to Xiao Lingyu.
However, fate played a big joke on Jiang Tao. The child was a huge surprise.
Gong Tianhao and Jiang Tao were childhood friends who grew up in the same yard. Even Gong Tianhao didn’t expect this big accident.
…
Xiao Lingyu’s heart was still pounding when she drove back to her rental. Even though she didn’t know Jiang Tao’s true identity, he must have come from an impressive background to be the police chief at a young age. However, the most important thing was that Jiang Tao and Gong Tianhao were friends. Xiao Lingyu had been wondering how a rich young man could be friends with a poor county station’s police chief.
Based on her observation, Gong Tianhao and Jiang Tao were old friends. It meant that they were childhood friends. Jiang Tao was also very familiar with Old Master Gong. Old Master Gong treated him like he was his own grandson. Since Gong Tianhao was from the capital…
Xiao Lingyu’s beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and her expression was one of disbelief.
‘Jiang Tao is from the capital!’
Since he was from the capital, then his family must be powerful enough to insert Jiang Tao at any place he wanted. They could easily place Jiang Tao at Xing Yin County to earn experience. After three years, they would haul Jiang Tao back to the capital.
This explained why the police chief wasn’t Jiang Tao when her family came to make a case her last lifetime.
Xiao Lingyu walked around the room, feeling very anxious.
She felt that she had discovered an incredible secret.
But she did not dare to reveal such a secret.
Xiao Lingyu was anxious after she found out a person from a powerful family background confessed to her. Even if Jiang Tao was just a normal person, she was not worthy of him, much less now.
Xiao Lingyu knew that powerful families would be extremely picky when they chose a daughter-in-law. Life after marriage would be torture. Xiao Lingyu immediately shivered.
Right now, Xiao Lingyu’s goal was to give birth to Xiao Tong and raise him to adulthood. She didn’t want to consider marriage and relationships.
Jiang Tao was handsome and came from a decent family. He would find a better partner in the future, and not someone ruined like her. Even though she knew the identity of her child’s father, she also didn’t think she could match his status.
Xiao Lingyu rubbed her stomach and whispered, “Xiao Tong, don’t worry. In this life, I won’t let you suffer any grievances. I won’t marry and stay by your side forever, okay?”
At this moment, she was suddenly shocked, and then a pleasant surprise flashed across her face.
The baby kicked! Xiao Tong had responded!
“Xiao Tong, is that you?” Xiao Lingyu’s eyes were filled with tears, and she said very emotionally, “Does this mean you agree with my decision?”
Xiao Tong kicked twice.
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, “I knew Xiao Tong would always be supportive of mommy.”
Xiao Tong kicked twice again. ‘Mommy, it’s not that. Xiao Tong wants Mommy to be happy. Mommy must not give up her happiness for Xiao Tong.’

This was the mother and son’s first interaction. However, the communication was bad. After some more movements, Xiao Tong was tired, and he quieted down.
Xiao Lingyu was so immersed in the joy that she forgot about her worries.
After thinking it through for a while, Xiao Lingyu sent a message to Jiang Tao. “Brother Jiang, I’m sorry. I’m not lucky enough to be your match. I have to keep the child in my stomach. I’m sorry!”
When Jiang Tao received this message, his eyes slowly dimmed.
A moment later, his eyes lit up again. He held the phone in his hand and seemed to have made up his mind.
…
“Lingyu, is Xiao Jun Alright?” Xiao Lingyu drove into the village and ran into the villagers. “I heard that he was bitten by a poisonous snake.?”
Xiao Lingyu smiled, “Fortunately, Xiao Jun reached the hospital in time. After the serum was injected, the Doctor said that he would be hospitalized for observation for two days. Auntie Chen didn’t bring any money, so I borrowed 300 RMB from my friend and paid the bills first.”
Xiao Lingyu knew Auntie Chen’s plan. The auntie wanted to scam her. Xiao Lingyu was not dumb.
When the villager, Auntie Liu, heard Xiao Lingyu, she smiled and said, “Lingyu, you’re really nice. You’re actually willing to borrow money to pay for Xiao Jun’s bills.” Then, Auntie Liu suddenly said, “Lingyu, I heard your father wants to give the flowers at your yard to the old master. You should go and have a look. That’s hundreds of thousands!”
She wouldn’t be able to give away so much money if it was her.
Xiao Lingyu nodded. “Okay, I got it. Auntie Liu, I’ll go home and take a look now!”
Auntie Liu was a big mouth. Through her, the whole village would soon know about how Xiao Lingyu had to borrow money from her friends to pay Xiao Jun’s hospital bills. If Auntie Chen still refused to return the money, she would be ashamed.
When Xiao Lingyu arrived home, Father Xiao and Mother Xiao were moving the few flower pots Old Master Gong admired.
Mother Xiao saw her and asked, “Yu ‘Er, is Xiao Jun alright?”
Xiao Lingyu said, “He’s fine. The serum was injected in time. However, the hospital still requires him to stay in the hospital for two days for observation.”
“It’s good that he’s fine!” Mother Xiao said, “Yu ‘Er, come help us send these pots of flowers to the old master!” Mother Xiao pointed at the flower pots.
Xiao Lingyu frowned. She hadn’t even reached her first trimester, so it was too dangerous to carry heavy stuff. She had hidden everything well, and her parents didn’t find out about her pregnancy.
Once, she had probed Mother Xiao. What if she was pregnant? Mother Xiao told her to have an abortion.
Xiao Lingyu was still living in that trauma, so she didn’t mention anything about the baby. She needed to wait until the baby was big enough that abortion would harm her body, then Mother Xiao would have no choice but to let her keep Xiao Tong.
Therefore, she couldn’t take any unnecessary risks now.
“What’s wrong?” Mother Xiao saw Xiao Lingyu standing still. Her eyes flashed with confusion, “Why are you standing there? Come help move the pots.”
Xiao Lingyu said, “Erm… Mom, I woke up early in the morning, and I haven’t had breakfast. I’m starving. I’m going to make noodles to fill my stomach!”
Xiao Lingyu fled to the kitchen. Mother Xiao opened her mouth but didn’t stop Xiao Lingyu.
At this moment, Father Xiao came over with Xiao Wang. Seeing Mother Xiao standing there in a daze, he asked, “Dear, why are you standing there?” He looked around and said, “Isn’t Yu ‘Er back? Where is she?”
Mother Xiao said, “She said that she was hungry and went to the kitchen to make noodles!”
“Oh!” Father Xiao didn’t doubt anything. He pointed at a few pots of flowers and said, “Xiao Wang, these are all the pots. I’ll have to trouble you to move them to the old master.”
“No problem!” Xiao Wang bent down and left with a pot in each hand.
Father Xiao bent to carry a small pot, but Mother Xiao immediately stopped him. She said, “Put it down! You can’t carry heavy objects. Don’t you know that? Do you want to eat pork liver for a few more days?”
Father Xiao immediately put down the small flower pot and said embarrassedly, “This is just a small flower pot. It’s not very heavy.”
“A flower pot about 20 kg is not heavy? Then what is heavy?” Mother Xiao glanced at him and said very sternly, “Stay away from them, or I’ll have you eat pig liver for ten days!”
Faced with the threat, Father Xiao immediately surrendered.
