Chapter 3
Chapter 3 — Pregnant with the President's child
I sat in the leather swivel chair and looked around. Outside the ground-level glass window is a panoramic view of the city skyline. The meeting table is made of solid wood and can seat about 20 people. In the corner is a pot of green plants, which costs more than a month's salary. I picked up the glass of water on the table and took a sip. Really delicious. It's a mineral water with a sweet taste, one bottle is probably worth the money I spend drinking Lavie for a whole month. The comments passed again. 【Madam, can your attention be normal again! She came to ask for money!】 【Hahaha she seems completely stress-free... This mentality is really great.】 I'm really not stressed. What's there to be stressed about? I'm not here to scam you, I'm here to claim my legitimate rights. 2400 yuan. Exactly 2400 yuan. The door was pushed open. A cold scent came first, followed by a pair of hands - long, well-defined, placed on the door frame. Next is a face. His bright eyes and eyebrows, sharp facial features as if carved with a knife. The height observed with the naked eye is probably about 1m87, the black shirt sleeves are rolled up two notches, revealing a piece of wrist bone. Honestly. Even though I drank a lot that day, I can't remember clearly, but this face... Well, it's actually a bit familiar. Bui Dien looked at me. What do you mean by that look, like looking at a file of documents that need to be processed. No surprise, no panic, not even a hint of unnecessary emotion. He walked over and sat down on the opposite side of the conference table, unbuttoning a sleeve.
“Say it.”
Just two words. I sat up straight, pulled the ultrasound paper out of my pocket, and slammed it on the table.
"Mr. Bui, on the 17th of last month, at a bar in the East of the city, we had a relationship."
I pointed to that report.
“I'm pregnant now.”
Bui Dien bowed his head and glanced at the paper. Then he looked up at me, his expression unchanged.
“So?”
“So I want to discuss with you a little about the issue of sharing surgery costs.”
I speak very sincerely.
“Painless abortion, 4800, half for each person, you get 2400.”
Quiet. The entire meeting room fell into an eerie silence. Tan Bac stood at the door, his hand pushing his glasses stiffly in mid-air. Bui Dien looked at me, on his face that had the ability to manage perfect expressions, finally a trace of... Confusing? Yes, that's difficult to understand. Like, "What the hell are you talking about, I understand every word, but I can't put it together." Comments above my head scroll like crazy. 【Hahahaha 2400!! She's looking for a millionaire, asking for 2,400 yuan!!!】 【Bui Dien: I've been living for 28 years, this is the first time someone came to me and asked for 2,400 yuan.】 【I can still explain Tan Bac's expression, it's as shocking as seeing a ghost.】 【Hey supporting lady, are you here to perform a comedy??】 Bui Dien leaned back in his chair, index finger. lightly tap twice on the table.
“Are you sure, you came to me… just to ask for 2400?”
“Yes.” I nodded, "It's fair and reasonable. Of course if you feel like you should pay the whole thing, that's fine. After all, I was drunk that day, and you weren't drunk, so based on the percentage of mistakes—"
“Wait.”
He interrupted me.
“How are you sure the baby is mine?”
I was stunned. Reasonable, this question is very reasonable.
“After the 17th of last month, I did not have a relationship with anyone.” I declared sincerely, “Before the 17th also Are not. An employee with a low salary of 8,000 based in Shanghai like me, where can I have such a rich love life?
Bui Dien said nothing. The way he looked at me changed, from "processing documents" to "researching rare creatures". Silence for about ten seconds. He turned to look at Tan Bac.
“Arrange DNA testing.”
Tan Bac understood immediately, nodded and went out. I breathed a sigh of relief, this reaction was expected.
