Chapter 242: 242: Zhan Lichuan to the rescue!
Mother Jing was at a loss for words, as she did not know how to answer Jing Qian.
However, Jing Qian wasn’t planning on letting it go. She stared at Mother Jing, an indifferent expression on her face, and asked, “Why do I feel as if I’m not your biological child?”
With just one question, Jing Qian could see the anger in Mother Jing’s eyes breaking down due to shock. No matter if it was the fearful look in her eyes or the horrified expression on her face, she looked extremely unnatural.
“What are you trying to say? I gave birth to you after carrying you for nine months. I almost lost my life because of the bleeding that occurred during the delivery. If it wasn’t because of you, why would your brother be autistic? Why would your sister be suffering from a heart condition?! You’re the only one with a healthy body and good looks. What did your siblings get? Isn’t it right for you to give in to your younger siblings?! Why do you have to push your sister to such extremes? Qianqian, you’re a big girl now. Can’t you be a little more mature?”
Even the policeman felt that Jing Qian had gone overboard this time.
However, the smile on Jing Qian’s face grew.
“Previously, I have never explained all these matters to you because I didn’t bother arguing with you. But seeing how you are saying all this so smoothly, and you even seem to have started believing it yourself, I think I should educate you a little on medicine.
“Congenital heart defects are one of the most common conditions seen in newborns, and there are two very important causes to it. It is either inherited or there was an infection during the pregnancy. Pregnant women are most susceptible to these infections during the 5th and 8th weeks of pregnancy. However, when you did your karyotyping during the 15th to 20th week, the congenital heart condition caused by the condition would have been detected.
“By then, the doctor would have educated and counseled you on the child’s condition, recommending an abortion. The doctor had already given you the choice of an abortion, but you refused it, even giving birth to a such child. Who can you blame then?
“As humans, we have been following the rules of survival of the fittest since we are fetuses. For those who are sick, even if you don’t get an abortion, you would naturally lose the child. You were the one who decided to keep the child. How can I be blamed for her condition?”
Mother Jing remained speechless.
The policeman couldn’t help but agree as well because whatever Jing Qian said seemed right.
“Jing Lu’s karyotype was normal. I kept all of her results from the test. You are the reason. You’re the one who weakened my body…”
“Alright, let me tell you a little more about it. If the karyotyping was normal, that means that Jing Lu’s condition was inherited. Do you know what inherited means? It means that it is a disease that you have passed down from your body. It could have been an invisible gene mutation, which was why her karyotyping was normal. She was most likely normal when she was born, and then soon turned abnormal as she grew older. How can you blame me for this as well? I’m not her mother. You can’t possibly think that I’m the one who spread it to her when I was in your stomach?
“As for Jing Jie’s autism, the odds of it being inherited are as high as 80 or 90%. This has nothing to do with your major blood loss while you were delivering me. Plus… You said that you had a hemorrhage during my birth, but where’s the doctor’s report? Both Jing Lu and Jing Jie have birth certificates. What about mine?”
When Jing Qian suddenly changed the topic, it shocked Mother Jing so badly that her facial expression kept changing.
Fortunately, Father Jing walked in with a dark face and Mother Jing immediately found herself a way out of the condition.
She pointed at Jing Qian and exclaimed, “I… I have raised you for nothing!”
However, Jing Qian was still reluctant to let it go as she replied with a smile on her face, “Well, you didn’t give me much but got a great deal of money in return. Since you have raised me for nothing, why don’t you give me back the money that you have gotten for selling me, or you could just donate it.”
“You…”
Suddenly, the door was pushed open from the outside.
Zhan Lichuan, who was dressed in casual attire, appeared in front of the crowd in his high-tech wheelchair.
