At 4:00 in the morning, Jiang City was still brightly lit.
Lin Momomo, who had not slept all night, looked blankly out of her window.
The words of the obstetrician in the daytime echoed in her mind.
She was pregnant.
Lin Momomo bit her lips, her tears silently falling.
About the night a month ago, she was at a complete loss, unable to recall even the appearance and voice of the man.
She just remembered his unending demands.
"Lin Momomo, open the door for me!"
In a daze, there were noises outside the door, Lin Momomo opened her eyes, and it was already bright outside the window.
"You prodigal girl, you've actually done this!"
Before Lin Momomo could react, the door had already been kicked open by her father.
Mr. Lin stood at the bed, his eyes blood-red, clutching a report in his hand, which rustled.
Just awakened, Lin Momomo looked a bit innocent, she didn't know how she had upset her 'good father' again.
"Tingyi, Momomo is still young, let's discuss this calmly, don't get so angry, look, you've scared Momomo." The soothing words were from Liu Lianyi, trying to pacify Mr. Lin.
Seeing the two people she disliked most in her life appearing in the same image, Lin Momomo frowned.
"Please, leave!"
"You have the audacity to ask me to leave?" Her father, Mr. Lin, was furious, his face a livid purple akin to a pig's liver.
Staring at the man who was no longer deserving of being called a father, Mo Mo Lin retorted coldly, "And you have the face? My mother hasn't even been dead a month before you marry my best friend as my stepmother? Heh, a stepmother who is only twenty years old - if word gets out, it would send people into fits of laughter!"
"Slap!"
"You unfilial daughter!"
Mr. Lin slapped Mo Mo Lin hard across her face.
Stubbornly, Mo Mo Lin didn't shed a single tear. Instead, she stared furiously at Mr. Lin like a hedgehog bristling with spikes, "If you dare, kill me, so then everyone can find peace."
She despised the man before her, for shattering the happy life they once led and turning her into the laughingstock of others.
At her words, Mr. Lin raised his hand once more, but was stopped by Ling Lian Yi.
"Mo Mo is pregnant now, you can't hit her like this."
Mo Mo Lin looked at Ling Lian Yi in shock.
She had just gone for a check-up yesterday, and Ling Lian Yi knew about her pregnancy today.
"You truly are your mother's daughter!" Mr. Lin threw the report in his hand at Mo Mo Lin’s face in fury, then turned around and left.
In the room, only Mo Mo Lin and Ling Lian Yi were left.
"Mo Mo, what exactly happened? Who is the father of the baby?"
Liu Lianyi wore a face full of maternal concern which made Lin Momo feel outright nauseous.
She stared coldly at Liu Lianyi and said, "My dad has already left, so there's no need for your pretense."
"Momo, I really do care about you, we are best friends after all," Liu Lianyi replied, a hurt look on her face.
She attempted to take Lin Momo's hand, but was shrugged off.
"Best friends? You must think I'm the biggest fool! Being the laughing stock of the entire school, my so-called best friend has become my stepmother."
She would never forget - that day when Liu Lianyi came to visit under the pretense of seeing her, instead she engaged in an intimate scene with her father in the room.
Every time she thought about it, she felt sick to her stomach.
