Chapter 960: I’m Pregnant

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Inside the villa, Ye Leng’an observed the family of three seated across from her and couldn’t help but feel a surge of sympathy. But her compassion wasn’t directed towards Zhou Cui’an; it was for her parents.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhou appeared to be simple, hardworking folks. Their worn-out clothes and uneasy demeanor clashed with the opulence of the surroundings, making them seem out of place on the luxurious sofa.

Had it not been for Zhou Cui’an’s parents, Ye Leng’an wouldn’t have allowed her inside. Their relationship was strained, to say the least. In fact, they were almost like enemies now.

As Ye Leng’an gazed at the silent trio, she rested her chin on her hand, her eyes betraying impatience. “Zhou Cui’an, your ten minutes are almost up.”

She couldn’t afford to waste much time here. She had plans to have lunch with Huangfu Ruiling. Turning back had already cost her precious time.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhou exchanged glances before both turning their attention to Zhou Cui’an. Clearly aware of the purpose of their visit, they remained hesitant to speak.

Despite Ye Leng’an being just a teenage girl, they couldn’t help but feel intimidated by her presence.

Back home, they were accustomed to farming or working as laborers. The most powerful figure they encountered was merely a contractor. They had never crossed paths with the rich, especially someone living in such grandeur. Their discomfort was palpable.

Facing Ye Leng’an, exuding an aura of nobility that set her apart, they found themselves at a loss for words.

Witnessing her parents’ silent plight, Zhou Cui’an felt no pity, only embarrassment. They were utterly useless, unable to help her even when she needed it most.

Taking a deep breath, she raised her head to meet Ye Leng’an’s gaze. “You know what? I’ve been forced to drop out of school. If this continues, and I can’t resume my studies, my future will be ruined.”

“And?” Ye Leng’an didn’t even bother to look up. “What does the school’s decision have to do with me?”

“Ye Leng’an, if you speak up, the school will surely show leniency,” Zhou Cui’an implored urgently. “Both the principal and the dean hold you in high regard. Besides, you’re the victim here. As long as you’re willing to forgive me, the school won’t be ruthless.”

“But I don’t want to forgive you!” Ye Leng’an shrugged. “Since you’ve acknowledged that I’m the victim, then I have the right to choose whether to forgive you or not. And I think you’ve seen my decision clearly.”

“Why?” Zhou Cui’an struggled to contain her emotions, attempting to appear composed. “Ye Leng’an, you have everything while I have nothing now. Can’t you just pity me and give me a way out?”

“This has nothing to do with me.” Ye Leng’an remained impassive.

“Miss, I beg you. It wasn’t easy for Cui’an to get into university.” Mr. Zhou stepped forward, kneeling before Ye Leng’an. “If she doesn’t graduate, all her efforts will be in vain.”

“Miss, we may lack education, but we know the extent of Cui’an’s efforts to get into Capital University.” Mrs. Zhou joined her husband, also kneeling. “You’re a good person. Have mercy on Cui’an and help her this once!”

Ye Leng’an glanced at the two elderly figures, their hair prematurely white, appearing a decade older than they were. Though moved, she shook her head. “Do you two know what Zhou Cui’an has done? She casually slandered me, labeling me a gold digger, spreading rumors in school, and subjecting me to public scrutiny. Did you know? For some fragile girls, such rumors could be fatal. It’s like your small town. If you spread rumors about an innocent girl there, insinuating she’s promiscuous and indecent, do you think she could bear it?”

Ye Leng’an’s words left Zhou Cui’an’s parents speechless. While they were aware of Zhou Cui’an’s actions, they hadn’t deemed them serious. Merely a few rumors, what harm could they do? But hearing that rumors could lead to death, they were at a loss for words.

Seeing her parents fall silent, Zhou Cui’an cursed them inwardly for their uselessness. She quickly helped them up and faced Ye Leng’an. Though her demeanor was restrained, her tone was defiant. “Ye Leng’an, you’re exaggerating. Aren’t you fine now? Furthermore, I’m not the only one who posted on the forum. But you’re the only one making a fuss.”

“Heh, that’s why I won’t forgive you!” Ye Leng’an looked at Zhou Cui’an with a cold smile. “Because until now, you haven’t acknowledged your mistake. Your apology now is just a result of reality’s pressure.”

“You…” Zhou Cui’an was speechless.

Ye Leng’an checked her watch and declared, “Zhou Cui’an, your ten minutes are up. Please leave!”

Mr. and Mrs. Zhou grew anxious, looking at Zhou Cui’an helplessly. Unsure of what to do, they hadn’t been here long and hadn’t exchanged many words. Now, leaving without any resolution, they didn’t know if they’d get another chance.

Ignoring the family of three, Ye Leng’an called for Sister Li to see them off.

As she faced being dismissed, Zhou Cui’an panicked. She shouted at Ye Leng’an, “You can’t chase me away. I’m pregnant with Huangfu Shaohua’s child.”

Hearing this, Ye Leng’an couldn’t help but be shocked.
