Chapter 673 Sweet Love
Chapter 673 Sweet Love
In his opinion, the shackles of marriage have been lifted, and now is a good time to enjoy life. He was a bit of a smooth talker, and with his good connections in the steel mill and the radio station, he had some spare money, so he began to frequent various social occasions and spend his days in debauchery. In the past, when he was with Lou Xiaoe, Xu Damao would be more restrained, after all, the Lou family had some power, and he didn't dare to be too presumptuous. But now that he has no such concerns, he has become more bold, and his girlfriends are like a revolving lantern, changing all the time. Today he is dating a girl in a floral dress in the cinema, and tomorrow he is going in and out of the restaurant with a woman with big curly hair, and he is flaunting in the alleys, attracting everyone's attention. On this day, Xu Damao proudly brought a young and beautiful girl back to the courtyard. The girl's name is Lin Wan, who has just turned 20 years old, youthful and beautiful, with a bit of innocence and ignorance in her eyes. She was attracted by Xu Damao's sweet talk and fashionable style, and she thought she had met true love. Lin Wan stepped into the courtyard for the first time and looked around curiously. The layout of the courtyard is compact. Although the house is old, it is full of life. Xu Damao proudly introduced: "Wanwan, this is where I live. Although this yard is a little broken, it is very lively. Come here often in the future, and you will definitely have fun." Lin Wan nodded gently with a shy smile on her face. At first, the two were inseparable. Xu Damao took great care of Lin Wan, took her around and bought her all kinds of small gifts. Lin Wan was immersed in this sweet atmosphere of love and did not realize that the crisis was quietly approaching. However, Xu Damao was not a long-term person. After the novelty wore off, his attitude towards Lin Wan gradually became cold. Days passed, and Lin Wan found that her period had not come yet, and she had a bad feeling in her heart. She bought a pregnancy test stick and it showed that she was pregnant. Lin Wan was shocked and frightened. She took the pregnancy test stick to find Xu Damao and cried, "Da Mao, I'm pregnant. What should I do?" Xu Damao panicked when he heard it. He never thought that such a thing would happen. But soon, he calmed down and tried to comfort Lin Wan: "Wanwan, don't worry, let's think of a way. This child came too suddenly, and I'm not ready yet." Lin Wan looked at Xu Damao's perfunctory look and became more and more uneasy. As her belly gradually became pregnant, Lin Wan's parents noticed that their daughter was different. After repeated questioning by her parents, Lin Wan cried and told the truth. When Lin's father heard it, he was furious and slammed the table and shouted: "This Xu Damao, how dare he bully my daughter! Let's go and settle accounts with him!" Lin's mother hugged her daughter distressedly, comforting her while crying. That day, Lin Wan brought her parents to the courtyard in a rage. Father Lin was a burly man with a face full of anger. As soon as he entered the yard, he shouted loudly: "Xu Damao, get out here! You bullied my daughter, and you must give an explanation today!" The neighbors in the courtyard heard the noise and came out of their houses to check the situation. Xu Damao was in the house thinking about how to deal with this matter. When he heard the shouting, his heart skipped a beat. He knew he couldn't escape, so he had to bite the bullet and walk out. He pretended to be calm, forced out a smile and said: "Uncle and aunt, you are here, let's talk it over." Father Lin rushed forward, grabbed Xu Damao's collar, his eyes wide open: "Talk over it? You got my daughter pregnant, can this be talked over in a nice way? What are you going to do?" Xu Damao was grabbed so hard that he couldn't breathe, and hurriedly said: "Uncle, let go first, and talk slowly. I will definitely take responsibility, but this matter came too suddenly, and I haven't figured out how to deal with it yet." At this time, an uncle Yi Zhong Hai came over, frowned and said: "What's going on? If you have something to say, please talk it over, don't use force." Lin Wan's mother also cried and complained: "Uncle, please judge for me. My Wan Wan was deceived by Xu Damao. Now she is pregnant, but he wants to cheat." After hearing the whole story, Yi Zhonghai's face became very ugly. He looked at Xu Damao and said: "Da Mao, what you did is too unkind. Since you made the girl like this, you must take responsibility." Xu Damao lowered his head and dared not say a word. The second uncle Liu Haizhong also came over, cleared his throat and said: "Xu Damao, your behavior is immoral. Now you must give an explanation to others, otherwise no one in this courtyard will let you go." The third uncle Yan Bugui also shook his head and sighed: "Young man, how can you be so confused? This is a lifelong event." Other neighbors in the courtyard also blamed Xu Damao. Aunt Li said: "Xu Damao, you always like to mess around, now you have caused a big disaster." Uncle Wang also said: "This child is too outrageous, you have to give the girl an explanation." Facing the accusations of everyone, Xu Damao regretted it in his heart, but he still had a fluke and tried to shirk responsibility: "Uncle and aunt, I really like Wanwan, but this child came at the wrong time. My financial conditions are not good now and I can't afford to raise it. Otherwise... abort the child." When Lin's father heard it, he was even more furious. He waved his hand to hit Xu Damao, but was stopped by everyone. Lin Wan cried and said: "Da Mao, how can you say that? This is our child." At this time, Qin Huairu also came out. She looked at the sad Lin Wan and felt pity. She said to Xu Damao: "Da Mao, you can't be so heartless. The child is innocent. You have to be responsible for your behavior." Sha Zhu also echoed: "That's right, Xu Damao, if you are a man, don't be timid, and find a way to solve the problem quickly." Xu Damao was completely at a loss under the accusations of everyone. He knew that he had caused a big trouble this time, but he didn't know how to end it. Seeing Xu Damao's look, Lin's father became even angrier. He said to Xu Damao: "If you don't give my daughter a satisfactory answer today, I will never let you go! Either you marry my daughter immediately and live a good life; or you take out a sum of money to compensate my daughter, let her abort the child, and don't bother her again in the future." Xu Damao was in a dilemma. If he married Lin Wan, he hadn't had enough fun yet and didn't want to be bound by marriage so early; if he gave money, he couldn't bear to part with his savings. He stood there, hesitant, with beads of sweat on his forehead. Seeing that the situation was deadlocked, Yi Zhonghai suggested: "Let's do this, everyone calm down first. Xu Damao, go back and think about it carefully, and give Miss Lin and her parents an answer tomorrow. Miss Lin, don't be too sad, your health is important." Everyone thought that this proposal was reasonable, so they dispersed. Xu Damao returned to the room, lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. He thought of the absurd life he had lived during this period and his heart was filled with regret.
