The awkwardness from before vanished in an instant and was completely subdued in his generous embrace.
"Maybe I'm too petty, but I will persevere with this pettiness." There was an overbearing stubbornness in his rich voice.
She understood what he meant, and pouted, "I know to keep my distance, but I won't cut all ties with the Brother Yu, what's the difference between that and being ungrateful? Furthermore, my interactions with the Brother Yu have always been pure, I dare to swear to the heavens!"
Lu Zhiyuan held onto the hand that she was about to raise his hand, "I believe you."
He knew he had gone too far.
It was better to face the enemy bravely than to demand nothing more from others.
"You're the one who said that. If someone tries to stir trouble between me and the Brother Yu again, don't blame me for making trouble for no reason." It was as if the kiss from before had given her spirit, and she was full of confidence when she spoke those words in front of him.
Lu Zhiyuan actually nodded his head, and started to kiss again as if he was addicted to it.
Ever since Chen Yuqiong found out that she was pregnant, she took a taxi and made some soup for her every day.
Lu Zhiyuan was worried that she was too tired from running around and wanted her to stay at his Lu’s Yard. However, Chen Yuqiong did not agree, saying that she was used to living in the small courtyard, so she came to visit Suhi Wei everyday.
Lu Zhiyuan respected her meaning and arranged for the driver to pick her up.
With Chen Yuqiong accompanying her, Lu Zhiyuan forbade her from going to the company. He would come back to accompany her every day after work.
This went on for a month.
Lu Mansion.
"What you mean is, Suhi Wei's mother goes to the Lu’s Yard every day?" After Shen Yin was discharged, he stayed in her room everyday, but her surveillance of the Lu’s Yard had never stopped. Even though she couldn't enter the Lu’s Yard, the people who she saw outside had always come back to report, and after finding out that Chen Yuqiong had went in and out of the Lu’s Yard for a month, they said angrily, "I've long seen that Suhi Wei isn't someone who can take care of things easily, and she didn't marry for money or anything like that. Now that she's pregnant with a child that's worth of her own, she treats herself as the mistress of the Lu’s Yard, and even brought her poor and sickly mother over.
She had thought that the warnings from the last time she was hospitalized would be of some use to her.
Coincidentally, the two Lu Family Elders had gone out, she planned to let the Steward Bai drive her to the Lu’s Yard to see what was going on.
Based on the time reported by her subordinates, Chen Yuqiong happened to be in Lu’s Yard at this point. This was good as well, even she and her daughter had been humiliated this entire time, letting them have a good memory!
"Mom, you really don't need to run around like this every day. Besides, you're deliberately feeding me to become a big fatty …" She felt herself grow fat.
Chen Yuqiong smiled lovingly, "It doesn't matter if you're fat during pregnancy. Just eat better, and the baby will grow better."
"I feel like I'm overnourished." Suhi Wei pulled Chen Yuqiong's hand, "Mom, I actually really miss you staying at the Lu’s Yard. When we get to work like this, we can also chat."
She knew why Chen Yuqiong didn't want to live in the Lu’s Yard.
"Silly child, you're already going to be a mom, yet you still stick to me like that."
"No matter what, I'm your daughter." She suddenly began to act coquettishly.
Chen Yuqiong smiled and nodded, "Of course."
The mother and daughter pair were happily chatting away. Seeing that Shen Yin had arrived, the smile on their faces faded, leaving behind only astonishment.
Shen Yin saw the mother and daughter holding hands, and snorted: "This is truly a love between mother and daughter!"
Hearing the unfriendliness in her tone, Chen Yuqiong was fully on guard as she protected Suhi Wei, "What do you want to do now?"
Seeing the fear on Chen Yuqiong's face, Shen Yin laughed complacently, "Of course I'm here to chat with me, a daughter-in-law who is pregnant, to chat about family matters, and to find out the origins of your family."
With just a few words, she could tell that the other party was harboring malicious intent. Chen Yuqiong said with a straight face, "Do you need to suppress others to show your nobility?"
"Mom." Suhi Wei knew that Shen Yin was a difficult person to deal with, and felt that if he acted against her, she would be even more energetic.
However, Chen Yuqiong did not want her daughter to be wronged.
She felt that since her daughter respected her elders so much, she wouldn't say anything. However, she was different. If the other party was mocking her daughter like this in front of her, then behind her back …
"You're right, I just want to use this method to let you know your status and position. Don't be too ambitious, after all, people don't have hundreds of days of good. Right now Zhiyuan is good to you, so can he guarantee that he will treat you this well for the rest of his life?" Shen Yin sarcastically said, "Men are easy to change."
"Since you know that Zhiyuan is good for our family, then don't speak such nonsense." Ever since Shen Yin had said those unpleasant words to her in the hospital last time, she didn't have any good feelings towards her biological mother, and didn't avoid her just because her identity was a bit higher than hers. Instead, she felt that she should have the confidence to stand in front of her and give her daughter some courage, so that she wouldn't be bullied by Shen Yin.
Shen Yin frowned, she felt that the mother and daughter pair were not good people, and angrily scolded: "You think Zhi Yuan truly loves her? It's because of the child in your belly that I'm willing to marry her. Before this, my family's Zhiyuan had a girlfriend that was in love for a few years, and in order to be together with that woman, he almost severed our relationship as mother and son, which shows how deeply he loves her. Leaving aside this matter, I felt that she was intentionally luring our family into getting pregnant, and our family's Zhiyuan is not an irresponsible man.
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Chen Yuqiong could not bear to listen any longer, "Xi Wei and Zhi Yuan have already been married for more than two months, and Xi Wei has only been pregnant for two months.
"Two months?" Shen Yin was shocked, "Suhi Wei, are you pregnant or not?"
He clearly said that she was already almost a month pregnant last time at Lu Family, and in these past two months, she ought to have been pregnant for three months …
Suhi Wei did not expect the truth to be exposed like this.
"Xi Wei, what's going on?" Chen Yuqiong realized that her daughter's expression was strange.
"Mom, I'm sorry …" She knew that if she lied now, she would break it in the future.
"Don't apologize to mom yet. Tell mom, what happened?" Chen Yuqiong's tone became even more excited.
Suhi Wei trembled, but before she could say anything, Shen Yin interrupted him, "Suhi Wei, so even your mother doesn't know about the matter of your fiance? It seems like you have some sort of shameful secret, or else the child you're carrying is not from our family's Zhiyuan. I've checked your love history and you have a boyfriend who dated us for four years, and was with our family's Zhiyuan soon after we broke up. I think you know very well who exactly this child belongs to! "
