Chapter 179: Exposed

Translator: Lonelytree

At night, Xiao Lingyu got up again in the dark and went to the kitchen with a flashlight. She wanted to find something to eat, but there was nothing in the kitchen, so she made herself a bowl of noodles to satisfy her hunger.

Just as Xiao Lingyu turned on the gas stove and was about to boil some hot water, the kitchen light came on.

Mother Xiao, in her pajamas, stood at the kitchen door. Seeing Xiao Lingyu sneaking around, she sternly asked, “Xiao Lingyu, what are you doing? Why didn’t you turn on the light?”

The guilty Xiao Lingyu was immediately frightened by Mother Xiao’s question.

She explained, “Mom, I… I was just hungry and wanted to come to the kitchen to eat a bowl of noodles. Mom, why are you up? Are you also hungry? Why don’t I also cook you a bowl of noodles?”

Mother Xiao asked sharply, “If you’re hungry and want to cook, why are you sneaking around like a thief?”

Xiao Lingyu said, “I… I was just afraid of disturbing you and dad.”

“Haha…” Mother Xiao chuckled coldly.

Xiao Lingyu was scared. She had a bad feeling. Then the question came…

“Xiao Lingyu, this is not your first time coming to the kitchen to find something to eat, right?” Mother Xiao asked coldly.

“Of course, it’s my first time.” Xiao Lingyu smiled embarrassedly. “I was hungry in the middle of the night, so I came to the kitchen, and Mom, you caught me.”

“Stop lying!” Mother Xiao glared at her and said with a serious expression, “Xiao Lingyu, do you think I’m blind or a fool? I always know how many things are there in the kitchen. And our gas is getting drained faster than usual.”

Xiao Lingyu’s expression froze, and her face turned slightly pale. She explained, “Mom… I… I was hungry once in a while at night, so I got up sometimes to cook for myself.”

“Once in a while? Sometimes?” Mother Xiao scoffed. “Xiao Lingyu, do you still want to lie to your mom? You’ve been sneaking up to the kitchen every night, right?”

Xiao Lingyu was shocked and panicked. She said, “Mom, I… I…”

“You’re pregnant, right?” Mother Xiao asked directly, “Your appetite is obviously much bigger than before. In addition, you’ve been unusually careful these days. You even touched your stomach from time to time. I am the mother of two kids. Do you think I can’t tell? Xiao Lingyu, do you still want to lie to me?”

This time, Mother Xiao was unusually serious and fierce.

Xiao Lingyu was pregnant. The father of the child was unknown. If this child was born, how would her daughter be able to marry in the future?

“Mom… I…” Xiao Lingyu didn’t know how to respond to Mother Xiao’s stern questioning. “I didn’t lie to you on purpose.”

“Then, what were you doing earlier?!” Mother Xiao suppressed her anger and demanded, “Xiao Lingyu, I’m your mother. How could you keep this from me? If I didn’t spot you this time, how long do you plan to keep it from me? Do you want to wait until the child is born?”

Since the matter was exposed, Xiao Lingyu said firmly, “Mom, I really did plan to tell you after a while. But since you already know the truth, I will tell you my decision. I will give birth to this child!” Xiao Lingyu could be extremely stubborn. Once she made up her mind, nothing could change it.

When Mother Xiao heard her daughter, her head buzzed, and her body swayed.

“Mom!” Xiao Lingyu called out worriedly.

“Don’t come near me!” Mother Xiao scolded, “Do you still see me as your mom? How many secrets you’ve hidden from me?”

Xiao Lingyu’s pale face suddenly turned even paler.

She opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say.

“What’s wrong?” Father Xiao’s voice suddenly came over. “Qiuying, it’s so late at night. What are you two arguing about?”

As soon as he entered the kitchen, Father Xiao noticed Xiao Lingyu was extremely pale. He was confused.

“Do you know what time it is? Why are you two arguing?” Father Xiao.

“Ask your daughter!” Mother Xiao pointed at Xiao Lingyu. She was so angry that her entire body was trembling.

Father Xiao looked at Xiao Lingyu in confusion and asked, “Yu ‘Er, what happened? Why is your mother so mad?”

Xiao Lingyu looked at her father and said seriously, “Dad, I’m pregnant.”

“What?!” Father Xiao was stunned. “Yu ‘Er, what did you say? You’re pregnant?”

“Yes!”

Since it had been exposed, Xiao Lingyu decided not to hide it anymore. She continued, “I plan to keep the child!”

Father Xiao was dumbfounded. “You want to give birth to the child?”

“I disagree!” As Xiao Lingyu expected, Mother Xiao’s reaction was intense. She said with equal stubbornness. “You can’t give birth to this child. How do you expect to get married in the future? Plus, the child doesn’t even have a father. The child will be looked down on and called a bastard. What is the point?”

“No, Mom, the child is not a bastard!” Xiao Lingyu argued, “He is my baby.”

“Regardless, you are not giving birth to this child!” Mother Xiao was as stubborn as Xiao Lingyu. Xiao Lingyu inherited her stubbornness from her mother, after all.

“No, I will!” Xiao Lingyu didn’t back down.

“You…” Mother Xiao pointed at Xiao Lingyu and shouted angrily, “Xiao Lingyu, do you plan to anger me to death?” Then, she saw a pile of firewood in front of the stove. She grabbed a stick and swung it at Xiao Lingyu.

Father Xiao was shocked. He snatched the stick away before it could hit Xiao Lingyu. He grabbed his wife and talked to her. “Dear, calm down. We can talk about it nicely. We shouldn’t resort to violence. Yu ‘Er is pregnant. She might die if you hit her like that!”

“So what? I want to beat this disobedient daughter to death!” Mother Xiao was furious.

Father Xiao threw the stick away. He tried to persuade Mother Xiao. “You’re not thinking right. Who would be saddest if Yu ‘Er died? You!.” Then he turned to Xiao Lingyu with a dark expression. “Xiao Lingyu, quickly apologize to your mother. Look at how angry you’ve made her!” Mother Xiao even threatened to kill her daughter, so she must be furious.

Xiao Lingyu was stubborn. She said, “Dad, I did nothing wrong. I will have this baby. Mom, if you insist on having me lose the child, then I’d leave this family!”

This time, even Father Xiao was feeling the fury. His face darkened, and he shouted, “Xiao Lingyu, what nonsense are you talking about? You are planning to abandon your parents for the child in your stomach?”

Xiao Lingyu’s face was pale. She bit her lower lip tightly, but her eyes were unusually determined. She shook her head and said, “Dad, Mom, it’s not that I want to abandon you, but I owe the child in my belly too much.”

Father Xiao frowned and asked in confusion, “How can you owe the child?” She hadn’t even had the child yet. Mother Xiao also looked at Xiao Lingyu in confusion.

Xiao Lingyu sighed softly and said, “Dad, Mom, I have disappointed the child too much. So this time, I need to make it up to him and treat him well. I want to be a good mother and let him grow up healthily!”

Father and Mother Xiao were shocked. Their hearts shivered. They looked at each other and thought, ‘Why is she talking like that? Is there something wrong with her mind?’ Then, they felt a surge of fear.

Father Xiao was the first to say something. He commented, “Yu ‘Er, don’t scare Dad. How can you owe the child when you haven’t even given birth to him? I’m still recovering from the surgery, so I can’t stand too much shock.”

Xiao Lingyu smiled bitterly. She knew that if she didn’t give her parents an explanation, with her mother’s temper, she would really pull her to abort the child. In order to protect the child, she would really run away from home.

But where would she go?

Xiao Lingyu said, “Dad, Mom, I need you to follow me.” She didn’t plan to expose this so soon, but she had no choice.

“Ah?” Father Xiao looked outside. “Where are we going in the middle of the night?”

Xiao Lingyu didn’t answer. She walked over to hold her parent’s hands. “Enter!”

In the blink of an eye, Father Xiao and Mother Xiao found themselves in another place.

The couple was extremely shocked. They looked around in disbelief. They couldn’t see the sun, but it was as clear as day.

They saw a large piece of land, a small river, and a deep pool.

They also saw a lot of vegetables growing on a piece of land. They were very cute.

But the most important thing was the vegetables looked very familiar. What did their daughter say? She got the vegetables from a friend from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences?

“Yu ‘Er, what… What is going on?” Father Xiao was trembling. This was the age of science, not many people believed in the supernatural anymore, but now, they had been teleported to a strange place.

Xiao Lingyu said, “Dad, Mom, do you still remember the jade pendant I found at the bottom of the river when I was young?”

“Jade pendant? That phoenix-shaped jade pendant?” Father Xiao was very confused, “But what does this have to do with the jade pendant?”

“We are inside the jade pendant now!” Xiao Lingyu said.

“What?!” Father Xiao was so shocked that he sat down on the ground. His face was still filled with disbelief. “We’re inside the jade pendant? How… How is this possible? Yu ‘Er, what is going on?”

Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “I don’t know either. When Zhou Huiqing wanted to kill me, I was saved by Yan Siming. However, the fruit knife still cut my chest. The blood dyed the entire jade pendant red. And I found this space by accident. The spring water here is miraculous!”

Mother Xiao immediately reacted and pointed at the small river. “So, the fertilizer you have been using is not a secret formula from a friend but the spring water here?”

“Yes!”

Mother Xiao asked worriedly, “Yu ‘Er, will this thing harm you? If it does, you have to throw it away!” A parent would always put her child first, no matter what. Father Xiao nodded. “Yes, Yu ‘Er, this thing is too dangerous. We should drop it!”

Xiao Lingyu shook her head, “Dad, Mom, don’t worry. This thing won’t hurt me. Besides, the vegetables grown in this space are good for your body.”

“Even so, this thing is too eye-catching. If other people find out about this, it will be so dangerous.” Father Xiao said worriedly, “Yu ‘Er, I still think you should toss this thing away.”

People were very selfish. Once people found out about this miraculous pendant, the Xiao Family would be in great disaster.

Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “Dad, it’s useless. I can’t throw it away.” She had tried it before, “The pendant has joined with me. Mom, Dad, I didn’t say anything because I don’t want you to get implicated.”

“Silly child, why would you think that?” Mother Xiao cried. “We’re your parents. We’re family. We should face both blessings and disasters together.”

Father Xiao was silent, but his expression echoed mother Xiao’s words. He asked, “Yu ‘Er, tell us, what exactly is going on?”

Xiao Lingyu thought for a moment, then slowly said, “Mom, Dad. I can’t explain what is going on with this jade pendant but once I had it, I was given a predictive dream. In the dream…”

Xiao Lingyu did not hide what happened in her past life from her parents.

Then again, she couldn’t be sure that the things that happened in her previous life would repeat themselves in this life or not.
