She shouldn't be so stubborn. The man in front of her had done well enough. She couldn't be greedy anymore!
The next few days, Ye Jia passed in this extremely contradictory state. While admonishing himself to be magnanimous, he also felt sad for Long Haochen's little appearance.
She felt like she was going crazy. She stared at the golden Buddha in her hands for a long time. She wondered for the umpteenth time if the other one was a gift. Did they really send him off?
She would treat this kind of item with a few dollars as a treasure because it was a gift from Long Haochen. As long as it was a gift from him, no matter what it was, any value would become a treasure in her heart.
She didn't dare to directly ask Long Haochen whether the other one was a gift or not, because she didn't want him to be in a difficult position. She knew that every action she took would attract his attention. Was he feeling guilty? Maybe!
Ye Jia stood up from the piano and walked down the stairs. Downstairs, Madam Long was using her hand to touch the part of her belly that was already visible to the naked eye. He was grinning from ear to ear as he said, "It's quite possible that it's a twin. If it's a dragon and phoenix embryo, that would be the best."
"Auntie, do you think that baby will be like me or more like Haoxuan?" MeiHui asked timidly, her face full of hope.
On the side, Ling Group secretly gave a snort of contempt, as if they were not ashamed of her. But Madame Long only smiled. "Whether it's you or Haoxuan, they'll both be smart and beautiful children. It doesn't matter who they are."
"I really want her to be born earlier." Mei Hui looked at Ye Jia, who was standing on the spiral staircase, from the corner of her eyes. A malicious smile appeared on his face. He held onto Madam Long's arm and said, "But Ye Jia's children will be born first. If they really are Hao Xuan's children, then it's fine. We can have a companion in the future."
"Ha …!" This sneer came from Sister Ling, who was standing at the side. When her sharp sword-like eyes pierced toward Sister Ling, she covered her mouth in a flurry. She was starting to regret why she had to harrumph. It was best for MeiHui to be favored by the Long family right now!
Madam Long doted on her, and even the eldest young master, who had been indifferent to her before, paid her a lot of attention. He even went to her room to visit her and ask the chef to make her more nutritious food.
Madam Long didn't notice the abnormality between the two and angrily said, "I never believed that that bitch was carrying Hao Xuan's seed. Only Hao Xuan himself believed it. I really don't understand how Hao Xuan could be so stupid!"
When this matter was brought up, Madam Long was both furious and helpless. She couldn't be blamed for not believing. After all, Ye Jiayi had always said that the child belonged to someone else. Later, he forced her to miscarry and just claimed that the child belonged to Long Haoxuan. How many people would believe that?
When Ye Jia heard what Madam Long said, her heart ached. The most painful thing for a woman was to be mistrusted by others. It was her own fault. If only she had admitted it at that time, then she wouldn't have angered Madam Long so much.
MeiHui pretended not to see Ye Jia slowly walking down the stairs. She followed up with Madam Long and said, "Aunt, you can't blame her either. A girl like her, who has no education, no ability, and doesn't have much looks, who wants to marry into the Wealthy Class, has to use some methods. "It's just that her methods are a bit more despicable. Who knows where she's going to fool around with that little bastard?"
Ye Jia's face changed, she angrily rushed in front of her and shouted: Who did you say was uneducated? "Who's the one who's back from the wild in the outside world?"
Her sudden appearance gave Madame Long a fright. She looked at the furious her with some lingering fear. MeiHui, on the other hand, didn't mind. She stood up from the sofa and stared at her. Am I wrong? Would a well-bred woman rob someone else's fiancé? Was this kid really not from Hao Xuan? Only you know who it is, right? You, Ye Jia, are truly a despicable person! "
Ye Jia was so angry that she finally couldn't take it anymore. She raised her palm and swept it across her face while shouting, "You don't need to care about me. Just take care of yourself!"
The slap was not light. MeiHui cried out in alarm as she fell onto the sofa. Her stomach heavily hit the back of the sofa. It didn't hurt, but she frowned and clutched her stomach as she cried out in pain.
Madam Long was startled and anxiously asked Mei Hui, who was wailing incessantly, "Mei Hui, what's wrong with you? "Where did you bump into?" He looked her up and down, not knowing what to do.
"My stomach... Auntie, my stomach hurts so much …! " MeiHui pretended to be speechless with tears streaming down her face. Out of the corner of his eyes, he glanced at Ye Jia, who was dumbstruck. He was ridiculing her in his heart.
Ye Jia looked at her in a daze. She clearly knew that she was pretending, but she was still scared senseless. She stood there motionlessly, watching her moan. She did not reach out to help her, because she knew whether or not there was a need for beauty!
Her unwillingness to be loyal only made Madam Long so angry that her entire body trembled. She shouted at her: "Slut! Get lost! Get lost! " When he finished, he turned around and called for Dr. Wang.
Ye Jia looked at all of this and felt that it was very fake. She took a step back, turned around, and ran up the stairs. She had to escape this fake scene, escape this scheming woman!
In one breath, he rushed to the bedroom. With both hands on the table, he panted heavily. The noise from downstairs reached his ears one after another. Ye Jia covered her ears with her hands, trying to block out the sound from downstairs!
Her body slid limply to the ground. She had no idea what was waiting for her next. Madame Long's punishment? Long Haochen's blame? Or … She raised her aching hand. Had she really hit her?
On the way back, Long Haochen had received a call from his wife saying that something had happened to Mei Hui. He hurriedly rushed back. As soon as he entered, he saw Madam Long sitting on the sofa on the first floor with a gloomy expression. He couldn't help but slow down his pace as he walked up to her and sized her up, "Aunt, how is Meihui? Is the child well? "
Madam Long looked up at him and said unhappily, "I already told you not to keep Ye Jia by your side, but you didn't believe me!"
"What happened to Ye Jia?" Long Haoxuan asked anxiously. Just now, Madam Long had only said that something had happened to Meihui and hadn't said anything else, so he didn't know what had happened to his family. He was very anxious to find out!
"She gave Mei-Hui a fierce slap, and Mei-Hui fell down. She's really stirred up!" Madam Long angrily cried out, "Such a malicious woman! Only you would regard her as a treasure and trust her! Haoxuan, when will you wake up!"
"How is the child now?" Long Haochen anxiously asked once again. What he was concerned about was whether the child was alright!
Madam Long stared at him. "You only know how to care for your child. Why don't you care about the beauty? Fortunately, when Doctor Wang arrived, the child and Mei Hui were fine. You didn't see how Ye Jia managed to push Mei Hui down! "
"It's good that the child is fine. As long as mother and son are safe." Long Haochen let out a heavy sigh. Fortunately, he was alright! After thinking for a moment, he continued, "Aunt, I believe that MeiHui provoked Ye Jia first, otherwise she wouldn't have hit you, right?"
"You …!" Madam Long's breath caught in her throat and she was so angry that she almost couldn't get over it. She cried out in indignation, "You're still protecting that woman up till now? Didn't she know that MeiHui was pregnant? Even if something happened, he shouldn't have made a move! It's obvious that there's something wrong with your mind. You have to teach her a lesson and let her stay in the Dragon Residence until the child is born! "
Right now, she was only waiting for her child to be born soon. She wanted to make an early paternity test so that everyone would feel at ease …
"I will. Auntie, don't be angry. Rest early." After Long Haochen finished his speech and was about to head upstairs, Madam Long called out from behind him, "Don't tell me that you don't want to take a look at the beauty? Mercy is giving you children, don't you have any conscience! "
"I don't need her to birth for me!" Long Haochen suddenly turned around to look at Madame Long, letting out a low roar that startled both of them. Because this was the first time Long Haoxuan shouted at Lady Long, after a moment of silence, Long Haoxuan was the first to react. He apologetically lowered his head. "I'm sorry, Aunt, I …" My heart is in a mess, I didn't mean to offend you. "
Madam Long smiled wryly and shook her head. "It's alright. I know you must be feeling terrible inside as well. I just hope that you can live a good life. However, given the current circumstances, it seems really difficult."
She knew that it would be difficult for Long Haochen to be caught between these two women, but so what? Right now, they were in a legal society, it was impossible for them to both be taken. Even a fool could tell that this beauty was the best candidate for him! She had always respected his decision in everything he did. This was the only thing that mattered to her!
"You should rest early. You decide whether or not you want to go see Meihui." Madam Long sighed and walked past him up the stairs. Leaving Long Haochen alone, ashamed of himself!
In the end, he still went to see Meihui. He walked into her room and looked at her, speechless. He did not know what he should say. He had already long forgotten all about her. Furthermore, he did not intend to stay here and chat with her!
When MeiHui saw him, she smiled happily and leaned against the headboard, staring at him fixedly. When his gaze fell upon the bouquet of flowers in his hand, his smile could not help but darken. In his hand, he was holding another champagne rose! Champagne roses for Ye Jia!
"Haoxuan, can I ask you a favor? Just one thing." MeiHui's words were said in a pitiful manner.
From Long Haochen's recent actions, she could read his love for this child. She could only endure, and only by smiling at him as she always had, would she have a chance of winning!
"Confess for Ye Jia? Throw her out? " Long Haochen looked at her and asked.
Mei Hui forced a smile. Lightly taking a breath, she helplessly said, "Although I've always strived my hardest to be myself, your opinion of me has never changed. Haoxuan, I'm not that kind of person …"
Looking at Long Haoxuan, she paused for a moment before continuing, "Even if you chase her out of the Long residence, it won't be able to get out of your heart. What's the use? If I am unable to keep your love, it is my own failure... "
"What is it?" Long Haochen interrupted her, not wanting to hear any more of her sad words.
He then looked at the champagne rose in his hand and dejectedly said, "You probably don't know that I also like champagne roses, right? I just hope that you can buy a bunch for me when you buy some flowers for Ye Jia, okay?"
"…" Long Haochen was speechless. Deep inside, he wanted to reject her offer, but in the end couldn't bear it. Madam Long's words instantly reached his ears. His son was in his good graces, so he hadn't brought up any requests these days. Was he supposed to reject such a small request so thoroughly?
