I'm Pregnant with the Villain's Child

Chapter 86 – “I’ve never done anything illegal!” (2)

Chapter 86 – “I’ve never done anything illegal!” (2)

“He’s my dad. I can’t let the news that he would attempt to kill his own son for selfish benefits spread.”

Ye Zhen gasped at the coldness of these words. She finally stuttered out a question, “So... What you’re saying is that your dad is just getting what he deserves and you didn’t act without regard to law or reason? You didn’t frame your dad?”

Lu Beichuan’s brow deeply furrowed. He looked at Ye Zhen in puzzlement. He didn’t care if outsiders didn’t believe his innocence. But, how come someone that shared his bed not believe him either?

“Where did you hear this gossip?” He suppressed his anger. Looking at Ye Zhen, he carefully said each word, “I’ve never done anything illegal!”

Lu Beichuan truly felt incredulous. Why did Ye Zhen see him as an unlawful and unscrupulous person?

Lu Beichuan knew that although he hadn’t been a good person in the traditional sense before his car accident, he had never ignorantly crossed over the line of the law. At most, he would employ tricks in business that were in the gray areas of the law. He had been in a coma for almost a year and had only been awake for a month. Where had Ye Zhen heard gossip that led her to the conclusion he would frame his father in order to gain control of his family’s business?

Faced with Lu Beichuan’s questioning and serious anger, Ye Zhen turned her head away due to a guilty conscience and awkwardly smiled. Okay, fine, there was no evidence that Lu Beichuan had framed Lu Shaoren.

It seemed that she had inferred Lu Beichuan’s morality and personality based on the immoral things that Lu Beichuan had done in the novel.

The real reason why Lu Shaoren had gone to jail hadn’t been written in the novel. Did this mean the current Lu Beichuan hadn’t become as bad as the villainous character in the latter part of the novel?

As for the reason why Lu Beichuan had done so many bad things...

Ye Zhen tightly covered her belly. It was because the little brat in her belly would suggest wicked plans and ideas to his father! This evil seedling!

Ye Zhen remained silent.

After a while, she finally said to Lu Beichuan, “Sorry, I misunderstood you.”

Lu Beichuan stayed silent for a while too before answering in soft tone, “Don’t listen to gossip next time.”

Ye Zhen nodded. She looked out the window with a solemn expression.

She had always believed that even if the plot changed, the characters’ endings were impossible to change.

But, this was only because the first impression is the strongest, and she had been too biased because of it. Perhaps, if she had been able to have a broader view and not constrain herself to the novel’s plot, her situation would be different right now.

Ye Zhen suddenly turned her head and asked, “Why do you insist on marrying me? Because I’m pregnant?”

She had seen too many loveless marriages. If the two personalities could mesh, then it was enough for a mediocre and ordinary married life. But, if people with incompatible personalities insisted on being together, their relationship was bound to be short-term.

A child couldn’t hold a marriage together.

“If you’re willing to give me a chance,” Lu Beichuan said, “I’ll give you a satisfactory answer.”

***

Ater Lu Beichuan had left behind the invited guests that were business partners, government officials and employees, and extended relatives, many people were chatting about this topic.

“What’s going on? Are they not getting married?”

“What does CEO Lu mean by leaving us here without saying a word of explanation before leaving?”

“I heard that girl was brought to the Lu family’s home by Old Master Lu after CEO Lu had fallen into a coma. The marriage was for the purpose of bringing good luck to his grandson. Could it be that CEO Lu is reneging? Old Master Lu’s expression doesn’t look good. The future of this marriage is probably uncertain.”

The endless stream of whispering on both sides were like a rising wave. Under these circumstances, no one could resist asking a few questions. As more people joined in the conversations, the combined volume gradually grew louder.
