Chapter 2

Wang Man did not have any moral bottom line. She just wanted to live comfortably.

Initially, when she found out that the Hu family had gone bankrupt, she had the intention of getting a divorce. However, now that there was a solution, she smiled and walked to Hu Ke’s side. She was about to help her back to her room. “Xiao Ke, just listen to your brother. Think about it. If you really get pregnant and marry Bai Xiao, you won’t have to worry about food from now on. You can live a better life.”

Seeing that Hu Ke was ignoring her, Wang Man was not angry. “Think about it. Ever since our family went bankrupt, those debt collectors have almost crossed the threshold. Can you bear to see your brother and sister-in-law being threatened? Do you want to live a poor life in the future? Work part-time and be a waitress? As long as you behave now, our lives will be the same as before!”

Hu Ke shook off Wang Man’s hand and glared at her and Hu Lai before walking upstairs.

In the past, when nothing happened at home, she was raised very well by her parents. Hu Lai did not show any viciousness and doted on Hu Ke in every way. But now, everything was different!

If the company had not gone bankrupt and if her parents had not passed away, Hu Ke would still be the cute daughter of the family. She would have grown up well, fallen in love and gotten married. She would not have been sold out by Hu Lai like a commodity.

When Hu Ke returned to the room, the servants followed closely behind. They took away the sharp objects in the room. Even the window was sealed by Hu Lai with an iron rod.

Hu Ke’s three meals a day were sent upstairs. The servants had to watch her finish her meal, and the pregnancy test kit was also sent over.

At first, Hu Ke threw away the food directly, but the consequence of resisting was that she was tied up in the room and forced to undergo a pregnancy test every day until two lines appeared on the pregnancy test stick.

Seeing this result, Hu Lai heaved a sigh of relief. “This girl looks useless, but I didn’t expect her to be so capable.”

“That’s great. She’s pregnant. Then we can enjoy life!” Wang Man looked at the pregnancy test kit excitedly. During this period of time, she was almost mentally weak from the debt collectors. Now that she heard the news of Hu Ke’s pregnancy, it was as if she had seen a ray of hope.

“Hu Ke is pregnant, so the Bai family naturally has to marry her. At that time, not only will she be able to live a good life, but we will also have a lot of face when we introduce her to others in the future! That’s the Bai family! The richest family!” Hu Lai thought of his future life and could not help but look forward to it.

If word got out, he would be considered Bai Xiao’s brother-in-law.

When the couple thought of their future, they were so happy that they could not close their mouths.

“Pack up. We’ll take Hu Ke to the Bai family!” Hu Lai made a prompt decision and got someone to help Hu Ke dress up. He wanted to personally drive Hu Ke to the Bai family to visit.

Hu Ke was still sitting in the room, unconsciously stroking her lower abdomen. The next second, Hu Lai opened the door and walked in, pulling her out.

Hu Ke shook off his hand. She glared angrily at Hu Lai.

[What are you doing!]

“What am I doing? I’m bringing you to the Bai family to demand an explanation. Let them know that their good son has impregnated someone else’s young lady outside!”

Hu Ke was stunned. She had been thinking about it for the past few days, but she could not figure out why a person would change so much in such a short period of time. When he was young, he would clearly bring her all kinds of new things to coax and pamper her, but now, he seemed to have become a different person.

“If you don’t leave, I’ll post the photos of you fooling around with Bai Xiao. Anyway, the family has a lot of debts now.” Hu Lai looked at Hu Ke, who was still unwilling to move, and spoke.

In order to blackmail Bai Xiao and make him marry Hu Ke, he had already arranged everything. Whether it was the drugged water or the last room he stayed in, he had made sure that nothing went wrong. Not only did he have photos, but he also had videos.

Hu Ke stared at Hu Lai in disbelief. Seeing that she was unwilling to believe it, Hu Lai took out a few photos and handed them to her. When Hu Ke saw the contents of the photos, she let out a short scream and tore the photos in her hand into pieces.

“Do as you wish. I still have many of them. Hu Ke, you have to know that our family’s current situation is very bad. If you still don’t cooperate, then we’re finished together!” Hu Lai no longer had that smiling expression. He stared coldly at Hu Ke, waiting for her answer.

In the end, Hu Ke gave in. She changed her clothes and got into the car, following Hu Lai to the Bai family.

The Hu family’s house was built by a developer, but the Bai family was different.

The Bai family bought a piece of land in the suburbs and built a manor.

Although Hu Lai claimed to be from the ‘upper-class’, he was still shocked when he brought Wang Man and Hu Ke into the Bai family’s courtyard.

Every step was a scene, and flowers bloomed all the time. Coupled with the perfect combination of Chinese and Western, Hu Lai was speechless as he walked, sighing at how rich the Bai family was.

After entering the main residence, Hu Lai restrained his arrogance and politely greeted the old butler, asking if it was convenient for the Bai family’s head, Bai Wen, to receive guests.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Hu. My master is not at home now. You can come and visit another day.” The old butler was obviously experienced in rejecting people. He answered Hu Lai and Hu Ke politely, showing no intention of letting them in.
