"Hu Yuan, I..." The man paused, then said, "I know I was wrong, but..."
"You're the most irresponsible man I've ever met," Hu Yuan interrupted.
The man's eyes darkened. "I'm sorry, I was young then, and I made a mistake, which led to your mother having you, you..."
"Stop making excuses about being young. You're just that kind of irresponsible scumbag. Who knows how many women dumped you before you even thought of my mother," Hu Yuan stated directly.
The man was speechless.
Hu Yuan rolled his eyes at the man and lowered his head.
For some reason, the man didn't get angry at Hu Yuan's words. Instead, he accepted them calmly. "Hu Yuan, thank you for criticizing your father. Before, I always thought you were a very immature child, but now that I've met you, and combined with your mother's praise of you, I was wrong."
"What a good father. But I don't need you. My mother is enough for me," Hu Yuan said coldly.
The man looked at Hu Yuan's indifferent expression and hesitated.
"You can leave now," Hu Yuan suddenly said.
The short demon looked at Hu Yuan, then at the man, feeling anxious.
The fat demon with the big head didn't understand what was happening and turned to the short demon, asking, "What's going on?"
Hu Yuan didn't shift his gaze.
The man still hesitated, not daring to say the words.
The short demon walked over to the fat demon and whispered, "Brother! I'll tell you later, don't ask now."
"So secretive," the fat demon frowned and turned his gaze back to Hu Yuan.
Seeing that the man hadn't moved, Hu Yuan said, "I told you to leave, can't you hear me?"
"Your mother wants a divorce from me. We just had a big fight this morning, you..."
Upon hearing this, Hu Yuan got out of bed without a word and quickly walked in front of the man, grabbing his collar. "I knew something was off with my mom. So it's you."
"You... listen to me," the man said, looking down at Hu Yuan.
Hu Yuan stared fiercely at the man's guilt-ridden eyes. "From childhood to adulthood, you've never taken care of me. What right do you have to make me listen to you? Old man, I'm telling you," he widened his eyes, "if you dare to divorce my mother, I'll haunt you even as a ghost."
"You?" The man hadn't expected Hu Yuan to say such things. Looking at Hu Yuan's face now, he was touched.
"What 'you'? Where is my mother now?" Hu Yuan asked, releasing his grip.
"Your mother is downstairs registering. She said she wants to abort the child. If..."
"No need to say more," Hu Yuan interrupted, turning back to the bed, quickly putting on his shoes, and saying, "Let's go." He then looked at the fat demon with the big head and the short demon.
Seeing this, both demons took an eager step forward.
Hu Yuan spoke to them in his mind, *Follow me.*
Seeing Hu Yuan acknowledge them, they eagerly said in unison, "Yes, Master."
Hu Yuan smiled slightly and looked up at the stunned man. "I was quite stubborn before, but on matters like this, I am rational."
"Thank you," the man nodded.
"Let's go," Hu Yuan said, walking ahead without even taking his cane.
Seeing Hu Yuan's light steps, the man followed without much thought.
In the lobby, Mu Anxiao still hadn't managed to keep an eye on Hu Yuan's mother. After registering and seeing the doctor, she arrived outside the operating room.
Mu Anxiao looked at Hu Yuan's mother's stubbornness with a helpless expression, having no other choice.
In the elevator, the short demon sniffed the air and hurried to Hu Yuan's side, saying, "It's bad!"
Hu Yuan glanced at the man beside him and asked mentally, *What is it?*
"Your mother is at the operating room door, and Mu Anxiao is there too," the short demon said.
Hu Yuan said mentally, *Lead the way.*
The short demon nodded.
"Directly to the operating room," Hu Yuan said.
The man was startled and looked at Hu Yuan, asking, "How did you know your mother went to the operating room?"
"My friend messaged me. Hurry up," Hu Yuan said casually.
"Okay," the man became anxious.
Hu Yuan looked at the man's fidgeting hands and sighed.
Ten minutes later...
Outside the operating room, just as Hu Yuan's mother was about to enter, Mu Anxiao grabbed her hand.
"What are you doing?" Hu Yuan's mother exclaimed, surprised.
"You can't go," Mu Anxiao said, looking at the quiet corridor. She thought, *Hurry, hurry!*
At the same time, the short demon led them out of the elevator. Mu Anxiao was filled with nervousness, while Hu Yuan's mother kept asking, "What are you doing?"
Mu Anxiao's palms were sweating as she held Hu Yuan's mother's hand, shaking her head.
"Child, you don't understand. That man, he doesn't accept Yuan Yuan. If I give birth to this child, what will happen to my Yuan Yuan? You have to think for your aunt."
"You also need to think about Hu Yuan. If you do this, Hu Yuan will carry a bad reputation, you..." Mu Anxiao continued to hold her hand and glanced at the nurse walking out of the operating room. "I don't care, you can't go."
"It's your turn," the nurse said.
Hu Yuan's mother turned and smiled at the nurse, then looked at Mu Anxiao. "Please let go."
"She's not having the surgery," Mu Anxiao said to the nurse.
The nurse was taken aback and asked, "Who is in charge of this?"
"I..."
Before Hu Yuan's mother could finish, Hu Yuan ran to them breathlessly and said to the nurse, "She's not doing it."
"This..."
"Not doing it," the man arrived shortly after.
Hearing this, the nurse looked helplessly at the next young woman and said, "You come."
"Okay," the girl nodded and stood up from the public seating, walking towards the nurse.
Mu Anxiao released her hand, looking at the girl, who was only twenty, with surprise. She thought, *So young!* Then she looked at Hu Yuan and asked, "You knew?"
Hu Yuan nodded and said to his mother, "Let's go talk outside."
"Yuan Yuan..."
"I'm not angry, let's go," Hu Yuan supported his mother's arm.
The man watched Hu Yuan's retreating back with relief and smiled.
In a blink of an eye, they arrived at a pavilion in the hospital. Mu Anxiao, the fat demon with the big head, and the short demon stood outside the pavilion.
Hu Yuan helped his mother sit down and said, "Mom, you can't do this."
Hu Yuan's mother looked up at Hu Yuan and said, "I'm sorry, Mom didn't tell you."
"It's okay, he..." Hu Yuan glanced at the man. "He told me everything. If you ask me, you can't abort this child. He's a life after all. Since he's come into this world and become your child, you should give birth to him, just like you gave birth to me back then."
"Yuan Yuan," Hu Yuan's mother choked back a sob.
Hu Yuan crouched down and held his mother's knees. "Mom, I know I was very willful before, and I even hurt you, but I'm also reasonable. Since you and this man got married, you can't divorce. It wasn't easy for you to get married in the first place."
