After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 977 - 520: Still Have to Rely on Myself

Han Shipei also tended to want Hong Xiaodan to have the child.

First of all, the reason Hong Xiaodan got pregnant this time was the result of her plans and encouragement behind the scenes.

Secondly, whether Chen Feng acknowledges the child or not, it’s bound to cause him some trouble in the future.

This is something Han Shipei is very willing to see now.

Given Chen Feng’s personality and his attitude towards Hong Xiaodan, having this illegitimate child will surely give him headaches in the future.

"I support you."

Han Shipei said in a serious tone.

"Pei Pei, you’re so good."

At this moment, Hong Xiaodan needed care and support the most, and hearing this, she felt both relieved and somewhat moved.

Although Han Shipei, as her close friend, had her faults, she supported her when she needed it most, stood by her side, and even helped in small ways, like contacting Chen Feng for her.

"We are good sisters, I will definitely be good to you." After saying this, Han Shipei turned to inquire with concern, "When do you plan to tell your parents?"

Hong Xiaodan fell silent and, after a while, sighed and said, "I don’t know how to start talking to them."

Han Shipei anxiously said, "You’re almost three months pregnant now, right? Your belly is gradually growing bigger, you can’t keep it hidden forever. Besides, your parents might not even be upset when they find out."

"I’m just afraid they’ll ask who the father is. What should I say then?" Hong Xiaodan said with a sorrowful face.

Although she used to be bold in speech and actions, since having a child, she had become extremely fragile and sensitive inside.

"Just tell the truth, what else can you do?" Han Shipei said as if it was only natural.

Hong Xiaodan sighed, "How can I say something like this truthfully? It’s too embarrassing."

Han Shipei dismissed her worries, "What’s so embarrassing? Isn’t it normal for men and women to be in love? Just say that Chen Feng and you got drunk that day, and accidentally ended up pregnant. Simple."

"Isn’t that putting the blame on him?" Hong Xiaodan hesitated.

"Silly girl, if you don’t say this, do you really plan to tell your parents the truth? Besides, it’s not even blaming him. He was indeed drunk that day, wasn’t it normal for him to lose control? Just don’t ever admit that you deliberately orchestrated it.

This never happened. He got drunk, made advances on you, and since you had feelings for him and were also a little drunk, you ended up sleeping with him. That’s all it was. Remember that."

"But... he already knows we set him up," Hong Xiaodan hesitated.

"He knows, but without proof, when he interrogated me before, I didn’t admit anything. Anyway, you should stick to the story that he lost control after drinking. This way, when your parents know it was him, they can justifiably pressure him to marry."

Hong Xiaodan furrowed her brows slightly, "This doesn’t seem right. I never intended to directly pressure him to marry. Didn’t you say we should take it slow before?"

"Things are different now," Han Shipei explained clearly, "Our plan failed this time, if we try to take it slow again, he’ll just distance himself more. Now, we can only exert pressure through his family to bring you two closer again."

Hong Xiaodan worriedly said, "If we pressure him through his family, he might get angry, and then there would be even less possibility for us."

Han Shipei replied, "You didn’t personally pressure him, your parents did. Isn’t his aunt close to your mom? You can completely pressure him through his aunt. Even if he won’t marry you, he has to acknowledge the child. Even if he doesn’t, his parents definitely will. You’ll be able to connect with his family through the child in the future."

Upon hearing her words, Hong Xiaodan thought it made some sense, but still worried, "I’m just afraid he’ll be mad at me and won’t pay any attention to me anymore."

Han Shipei sneered, "Silly girl, does he pay attention to you now? He’s ignoring you even now, okay? He knows you’re pregnant with his child, yet he acts as if it’s none of his business. If you just accept it, he really will not care about you at all in the future.

Listen to me, you’d better tell your parents sooner rather than later. You can’t keep this a secret, you’ll have to say it eventually, and sooner is better than later. For the sake of the child in your belly, you need to let your parents know soon so they can help you with the pregnancy, and take care of you and the baby."

"Okay, I’ll prepare, and tell my parents in the next few days."

"That’s right. You really shouldn’t keep this from your family. Otherwise, why did you come back early?"

...

After chatting with Hong Xiaodan for about half an hour, Han Shipei successfully convinced her to confess her pregnancy to her family.

After hanging up the phone, Han Shipei couldn’t help but smile with satisfaction. The reason she was so proactive in urging Hong Xiaodan to quickly confess to her family was to make her parents pressure Chen Feng for marriage or an explanation.

It was foreseeable that Chen Feng would definitely be in a mess by then.

Just thinking about Chen Feng’s worried face when pressured for marriage by his elders brought her unspeakable joy and satisfaction.

Humph, Chen Feng, for humiliating me, for offending me.

After mentally cursing Chen Feng thoroughly, Han Shipei gathered her thoughts, started the car, and slowly drove towards the outside of East Lake Garden.

The neighborhood was quiet and tidy, and the exteriors of the houses looked very pleasant, with no signs of dilapidation. Moreover, the neighborhood faced the commercial street and the East Lake scenic area.

A property in such a neighborhood was something she had always dreamed of.

Compared to the villas at Red Villa Bay, East Lake Garden felt more vibrant with life.

But unfortunately, relying solely on her own earnings, it would be impossible to afford a house in Xiu Zhou in this lifetime.

She could only depend on a man.

In this respect, her current good friend Hong Xiaodan couldn’t possibly satisfy her, like gifting her a house here in Xiu Zhou.

This was completely unrealistic.

Just like her meticulously planned scheme to get Hong Xiaodan pregnant with Chen Feng’s child, where she played matchmaker and consequently offended the big shot Chen Feng.

And what was the result? Hong Xiaodan only lent her an unused Toyota car to drive, and let her stay in an empty villa, all lending, not giving.

Gifting a villa might be an exaggeration, but even the second-hand Toyota wasn’t outright given to her, nor transferred under her name, which somewhat disappointed her.

Including the four hundred thousand she borrowed from Hong Xiaodan over the years, which was not said to be forgotten.

This was a very realistic issue.

Even if she was willing to act like a dog for Hong Xiaodan, the rewards were limited. She couldn’t get gifts like a car or a house.

So, she still needed to find a wealthy husband on her own to achieve true class ascension, ideally to stand on equal footing with someone like Hong Xiaodan, a rich second generation, in the future.
