Old Madam was always looking forward to having a great-grandson. Even if he didn’t date, he could just bring back a great-grandson for her.

It was Old Madam’s seventieth birthday banquet that night. She had also been called by her father to help organize and also attend the banquet.

She sat together with the servants and the group of people drank a lot of expensive red wine excitedly. She was eventually persuaded to drink. She was forced to drink a large glass of red wine. As soon as the wine entered her stomach, her consciousness became a little hazy. Her father even complained that she did not know her limits and got drunk. He gave her a bowl of hangover soup to drink and asked her to send another bowl to the Eldest Young Master.

She finished the hangover soup in one gulp, but for some reason, after drinking the hangover soup, her originally hazy consciousness became even more muddled. She forced herself to gather her spirits and sent the hangover soup in her hand to the young master’s room on the second floor. Just as she put down the hangover soup, she suddenly felt dizzy. Before she could help him up, her body swayed and she fainted on the carpet.

When she regained consciousness, she felt the young master’s scorching heat pressing down on her. The other party was furiously demanding everything from her…

The next morning, she tiptoed out of the young master’s room, only to find that everyone in the old residence was staring at her with an ambiguous gaze. The old madam even patted her head with a smile and told her that her grandmother’s surgery was scheduled for a Saturday in three months. The donor for the heart had also been found. If she could get pregnant with the young master’s child, all of her grandmother’s medical expenses would be covered by the Liu family.

Ming Yue had been raised by her grandmother in the countryside since she was young. For the past 23 years, the two of them had relied on each other. She had deep feelings for her grandmother, so when the old madam suggested this, she let out a despicable sigh of relief. Although this accident had caught her off guard, it could be considered a lucky stroke.

However, when she saw Liu Jingxing gritting his teeth in front of her, she did not have the time to be excited before her heart became heavy again.

…

Ming Yue looked at the red booklet in her hand and had an indescribable feeling in her heart. When a young girl was in love, she would always fantasize about what kind of man she would marry. It didn’t matter if he was good-looking or rich as long as he treated her well and liked her.

Ming Yue retracted her fantasy and laughed at herself. The Liu family had helped her solve the problem of money. Her grandmother could finally undergo surgery. Why was she still being pretentious?

“Take a taxi home by yourself.” Liu Jingxing threw the key to her. His action was so unexpected that Ming Yue could not catch it. The key fell to the ground. She knew that he was unhappy. Although this accident had helped her, it had hurt him. She silently bent down to pick up the key.

Liu Jingxing was furious when he saw her submissive look. He frowned and complained with disdain, “You can’t even catch a key properly.”

Ming Yue let him vent his unhappiness and picked up the keys. “Then I’ll leave first.” She put the red booklet and keys into her handbag and turned to the roadside. She waved her hand and hailed a taxi.

She no longer needed to return to the old residence because Liu Jingxing had only agreed to the marriage under the condition that could move out of the old residence. The old madam had invested in more than ten bungalows and villas in the city center many years ago. The largest and best one was the marriage house that she had prepared for her grandson.

The villa area was called Xiangshan Residence. The style of the area was classical and elegant. It was said that the houses there cost more than 200,000 yuan per square meter. Liu Jingxing did not listen to his grandmother. He did not want Ming Yue to stay in his marriage house.

In his eyes, Ming Yue looked simple and plain, but she was actually very scheming. She was full of schemes and brazenly drugged his hangover medicine. After that, she even pretended to know nothing.

He had only married her to stop his grandmother from nagging. Sooner or later, he would divorce her. He would not let her have it her way!

Ming Yue held the key and knew that the district she was going to was called Fairview East. She could understand why Liu Jingxing was unwilling to bring her to the marriage house.

Liu Jingxing got into his Bentley Continental. He glanced at the woman waiting for a car by the road. It was October, late autumn, early winter. The wind always stirred up a chill.

Thinking about how she was still in the early stages of pregnancy, even if he was angry or annoyed, he was still the child’s father. Moreover, the worst thing was that if Grandma found out that not only did he not let her stay in the marriage house, but he also left her by the roadside, Grandma would definitely skin him alive. This woman had always been full of schemes. If she turned back and told Grandma about this, he would be done for.
