Chapter 41 System: You're Really Pregnant
That night, the three sisters were all burdened with worries, and in this situation, they were speechless, not knowing what to say.
Shen Wancheng told everyone to wash up and go to bed.
Once in bed, Shen Yao tossed and turned, unable to sleep, while Shen Wancheng remained wide awake even with her eyes closed.
Shen Wancheng was analyzing what Gu Jinxing meant today.
The fact that this person was clinging to her couldn't possibly be because of lingering feelings from that night. There was no affection between them at all. Moreover, just as Shen Wancheng had predicted, Gu Jinxing left the next day without returning to thank her and Shen Yao for saving his life, as described in the book.
This explains why Gu Jinxing didn't want to bring up what happened that night.
So what exactly went wrong that made Gu Jinxing so insistent on getting involved with her?
Is it because he's lame or blind that he's worried he won't be able to find a wife?
But if others dislike Gu Jinxing, doesn't she dislike him too?
Shen Wancheng was amused by her own inner monologue. She opened her eyes and found that Shen Yao had finally fallen asleep and was no longer making any noise.
She sighed; too many things had happened today.
Shen Wancheng thought of Shen Mei again.
It's not that Shen Wancheng is being petty, but Shen Mei's reaction when she learned about her pregnancy today made Shen Wancheng think more about it.
When ordinary people suddenly learn that an unmarried woman is pregnant, in addition to being shocked and worried, they should be curious about who got her pregnant.
But Shen Mei never asked any questions from beginning to end, as if she knew beforehand.
Therefore, Shen Mei should know what happened that night.
But how did Shen Mei find out?
Shen Wancheng was certain that the rest of the Shen family wouldn't know. If the Shen family did find out, and Shen Wancheng broke ties with them, wouldn't they shout it out loud until everyone knew?
Of course, so much time has passed since that night, and now that they've left the mainland and are living in Hong Kong, Shen Mei knows it's no big deal.
But Shen Wancheng was used to having a clear understanding of everything in her mind.
If you say Shen Wancheng doesn't trust Shen Mei, then she does, otherwise she wouldn't have helped Shen Mei.
However, he didn't trust Shen Yao the same way and remained wary of her.
As Shen Wancheng pondered these matters, she gradually grew sleepy.
In a flash, he found himself back in front of the achievement system, and at the same time, a voice appeared in his ear.
"Congratulations, host! You have achieved the life achievement of giving birth to life. Achievement points increased by 40. Host's current achievement point balance: 40"
To give birth to life?
......
Doesn't this confirm that she's pregnant?
Even pregnancy test strips are no longer needed.
Also, is this stupid system some kind of birth system? Getting pregnant is not a life achievement, and it even adds 40 achievement points.
Just because it adds more achievement points, does she have to keep this child?
That's impossible.
As if knowing what Shen Wancheng was thinking, the system suddenly emitted a mechanical voice again.
"The host's achievement points for conceiving life have been added. If the host has an abortion, the reward achievement points will be deducted double."
Double the deduction...that's 80 achievement points.
Shen Wancheng glanced at her current achievement points balance: 40.
Shen Wancheng laughed, "What if your displayed achievement points aren't enough to cover the deductions? Can you go into debt?"
Shen Wancheng had always felt that the achievement system was somewhat useful, but not very useful.
Being a decathlete gives people a great sense of security; it makes you feel like an unkillable cockroach, capable of choosing any industry and thriving in it.
But without this achievement system, Shen Wancheng felt that earning a little money and being content with what she had was just fine.
Therefore, Shen Wancheng didn't care much about this achievement value.
A mechanical voice announced, "When the achievement value becomes negative, the system will enter a self-destruct countdown."
Shen Wancheng thanked her rather indifferently, "Oh, that's a pity. Thank you for your company for a month."
A mechanical voice said, "System self-destruction will reclaim all knowledge and abilities gained by the host, and the system apologizes for causing damage to the host's brain."
Shen Wancheng, “…”
Shen Wancheng thanked the system for its companionship, while the system apologized for turning Shen Wancheng into a fool.
Is this definitely not a threat?
Therefore, if Shen Wancheng doesn't want this child, she must earn another 40 achievement points in a short period of time.
Shen Wancheng only earns 20 achievement points by dealing with the Shen family, and winning HK$10 in horse racing only earns 10 achievement points. This shows that achievement points are not easy to earn.
Therefore, Shen Wancheng really needs this child.
In truth, deep down, Shen Wancheng wasn't entirely without a bit of reluctance.
She actually quite likes children. She had previously considered not having one, but she felt that her current circumstances were not suitable for raising a child.
Shen Wancheng herself is an orphan and knows all too well how bitter a childhood is for children without parental love.
Therefore, Shen Wancheng always felt that adults should either not have children, or if they do, they should provide their children with good enough living conditions for growth. This is the only way to be responsible for children.
Now, if Shen Wancheng doesn't want to become an idiot or die, she must leave the child behind, so she has to consider how to raise the child.
Because the child is cooperating with Gu Jinxing?
That's impossible.
Then the only option is to hurry up and acknowledge Xu Pingtao as my maternal grandfather.
It is believed that Xu Pingtao, who has just lost his son, would still be very willing to see his great-grandson.
After Shen Wancheng figured it out, she turned over and went to sleep.
*
The next day, Shen Wancheng and her two sisters got up very early.
Shen Wancheng said yesterday that she would treat Guo Tao to dinner to express her gratitude. This morning, Shen Mei asked Shen Wancheng if she could invite Guo Tao to their rented apartment for dinner.
Shen Mei felt that this was her own business and that she should invite Guo Tao, but she really didn't have much money, so cooking for herself would save her money.
Shen Wancheng originally lent Shen Mei HK$500, but Shen Mei was very frugal and still had more than HK$300 left. Although the food stall fired Shen Mei, they still paid her the wages she had earned for working for more than a week, which was HK$900, equivalent to half a month's salary.
So Shen Mei still has more than HKD 1200 on her, which is enough to support her until she finds a new job.
Shen Wancheng listened to Shen Mei's suggestion and thought it was acceptable, so she agreed.
The three sisters went out together and had breakfast downstairs first.
Shen Yao and Shen Mei ordered Cantonese rice noodle rolls. They don't eat this often inland. Even if it's sold in town, the Shen family won't buy it for them. They only make it at home occasionally.
Shen Wancheng saw others putting red vinegar into bowls of shark fin soup and suddenly felt very hungry, so she ordered shark fin soup.
This is a specialty snack on Hong Kong Island. Any shop will use generous amounts of ingredients, including chicken, shrimp, and fish. Wood ear mushrooms add texture, and shiitake mushrooms add aroma. In addition to salt, you only need to add a little red vinegar to the seasoning.
However, Shen Wancheng and the other two were not people who liked to be jealous, so they only ordered it once and no one else did.
At this moment, after Shen Wancheng's shark fin soup was served, Shen Wancheng took the vinegar bottle and added vinegar herself, which immediately attracted the attention of Shen Yao and Shen Mei.
Shen Wancheng met their gazes for a few seconds, then smiled calmly.
"Maybe it's because... I really crave sour food today."
