I'm Pregnant with the Villain's Child

Chapter 299 – She knew that Lu Shaoyan’s manipulations were inseparable from Zhouzhou in the novel growing up into a person with a twisted character (1)

You Jing had settled back on the sofa. Feeling hot, he irritably tugged on his tie. He paused when he heard her question, then he suddenly sat up straight. His full attention was put on the phone.

Back then, Meng Jie wouldn’t give him the answer to this question no matter how he asked.

“Why?”

“Because I got pregnant.” Meng Jie’s voice was soft and slow as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her. “But then, because of you, I miscarried.”

You Jing paled. He wanted to ask for details. He wanted to ask Meng Jie when this happened and why didn’t she tell him back then. However, he couldn’t utter these words. He was violently trembling, and his eyes had reddened. Perhaps, it was because of the alcohol, perhaps it was some other reason. Who knows?

“You Jing, it’s impossible for me to forgive you.” Meng Jie pensively sighed and then ended the call.

Five years had passed, but that memory was still stuck in her heart like a thorn. She couldn’t forget that pool of blood and that sensation as she lost her child.

She had once loved You Jing, but that was in the past. They weren’t suitable for each other.

Everyone said that it was You Jing that blocked Meng Jie, but the truth was that Meng Jie was the one avoiding him.

Letting out this secret was good too.

Meng Jie sighed in relief.

Qinhua’s Riverside was the accomplishment of all the cast and crew. It mattered to everyone. She couldn’t let the cast and crew accompany her and be framed by You Jing for no reason.

“So public opinion was resolved just like that?” Ye Zhen looked at the report that Qin Zhiyin delivered in bafflement.

Qin Zhiyin nodded. “That’s right. The person who broke the news apologized. He claimed that he was mistaken. He’s willing to accept the legal consequences from Lu Corporation’s investigation of the matter.”

Ye Zhen thought it over. She had a gut feeling that this matter had something to do with Meng Jie. Afterall, You Jing, that lunatic, wouldn’t easily let off the opportunity to implicate anything involving Meng Jie.

“Thank you for your hard work in keeping an eye on this matter. Oh right, it’s the end of the year. It’ll be Chinese New Year soon. Do you have any plans?”

Now that the discussion had shifted to small talk, Qin Zhiyin’s tense nerves relaxed. “What plans can I have? I’m just going back home for Chinese New Years. What about you, Mrs. Lu?”

After getting along during the past period, Ye Zhen quite liked that Qin Zhiyin was meticulous when it came to work and easygoing outside of work. She had a clear separation between public and private matters.

“Going to the Lu’s ancestral home.”

After Zhouzhou’s first month birthday celebration, Old Master Lu had taken Butler Lu with him back to Lu’s ancestral home. He hadn’t come back to take a look since then.

Occasionally, they would take Zhouzhou over there for a few days to visit Old Master Lu, but going back to the ancestral home for Chinese New Year meant that the visit wouldn’t be just a few days long. They would have to come in contact with the Lu’s extended relatives and family friends.

Just by himself, Lu Shaoyan, Lu Beichuan’s little uncle, was enough for her to worry about. Adding Lin Zhan on top of him was enough to give Ye Zhen a headache.

And yet, these New Year greetings were unavoidable for the time being.

Qin Zhiyin knew a little bit about the Lu’s family secrets. She intuitively gave Ye Zhen a sympathetic “good luck” look.
