BXBX NOVEL Chapter 279: 279 She is sowing discord _1
Indeed, I told the lady not to feed Ye Mengyan too much…
The food was a little bit bland, but it wasn’t so bad as to have cockroaches in it… well, she can say what she wants.
Anyway, since I dared to kidnap her, I was never afraid of being retaliated against by Gu Yuanzhou.
I thought to myself, Gu Yuanzhou would definitely get angry at me after Ye Mengyan’s emotional display, right?
However, what I didn’t expect was…
After listening to her, Gu Yuanzhou directly asked her,
“Are you pregnant?”
At those words, Ye Mengyan froze on the spot.
A few seconds later, she immediately shook her head, “No!”
“Not pregnant?”
“Of course not! I know best whether I’m pregnant or not. Big brother Gu, it must be this woman who told you, right? She’s trying to sow discord, she wants to harm me.”
Ye Mengyan’s reaction took me by surprise.
If she was carrying Gu Yuanzhou’s child, why wouldn’t she admit it?
What was she playing at?
“Oh, it seems that Miss Ye has done some unspeakable things behind Mr. Gu’s back. In that case, congratulations to Mr. Gu for becoming a father.”
I said sarcastically, looking at Gu Yuanzhou.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yuanzhou did not react at all, he glanced at me then looked at Ye Mengyan again.
“Let’s go home!”
“Big brother Gu… I…”
“We’ll talk when we get back!”
“Oh, okay!”
Ye Mengyan originally wanted to explain, but seeing me standing by, she probably feared I might reveal more information.
At that moment, she didn’t bother arguing with me, hastily pulling Gu Yuanzhou’s hand and hurrying out.
For some reason, before leaving, Gu Yuanzhou gave me a meaningful look.
That look was somewhat unfathomable.
I couldn’t quite understand what he meant by that look until the following day when I called Song Zexi to make sense of it.
“Mr. Song, was anyone hurt when Gu Yuanzhou kidnapped you?”
“Kidnap? There was no kidnap!”
“Ah? No, you guys went to Qingshan Temple that day, I heard you arguing with a bunch of people, weren’t you kidnapped?”
“That group indeed was sent by Gu Yuanzhou. Luckily, the master of the temple stopped them, or we would have been hurt.”
“Then why couldn’t I reach you on your mobile for a while?”
“Oh, sorry, they smashed my phone, and there’s no place to fix it here in the mountains, and the signal is not good, you must have been worried.”
It was then that I realized Gu Yuanzhou had not kidnapped Song Zexi. This guy had just bluffed his way through, empty-handed.
Meaning, he had no bargaining chip and just simply tricked Ye Mengyan away from me.
Cheater!
That damned big cheater!
So despicable!
I was so angry it felt like my head was going to explode, I wanted to confront him right away.
Because of this, I was in a bad mood for several days.
When I asked Wenya to have dinner with me on the weekend, the weather was clear, and Jiang Jing also came along.
Jiang Jing’s belly was getting bigger, round like a giant ball.
She wore an oversized men’s suit, to cover her ever-growing belly.
Yu Jiahang drove her over here. When he got out of the car, he happened to run into me and Wenya… I don’t know why, but he avoided making eye contact with me as soon as he saw me. He dropped off Jian Jing and left right away.
Wenya and I privately discussed and decided to provide some aid for Jian Jing to better her prenatal life quality.
Jian Jing has strong pride. If we were to give it directly, she would refuse for sure. So, we had to come up with a roundabout strategy.
“It’s nice today. How about this — we’ll go shopping and after that, we’ll play a dice game. The person who loses the game pays the bill. Sounds good?”
“Well, that’s a good idea!”
As soon as I opened my mouth, Wenya agreed immediately.
After having some snacks, we went to the shopping mall.
Each of the three of us pushed a shopping cart.
I didn’t need to buy much, just a few packs of snacks and chocolates.
Wenya was even more ridiculous. She only bought a tube of toothpaste. Then, we covertly went to the maternity section and started selecting maternity wear. I chose 3-4 maternity dresses, nursing bras and pajamas, shoes and socks. Having been pregnant before, I was quite professional in selecting these things.
We also bought infant formula, diapers, and various kinds of sanitary napkins for the postpartum period.
Wenya, who has never had a kid before and knows nothing about it, just followed me like a helper. When my shopping cart was filled to the brim, I started using hers.
Half an hour later, I figured it was enough. We had bought pretty much everything Jian Jing would need for her baby up to the age of five months.
We couldn’t buy more though, or Jian Jing might suspect something.
When paying the bill, Jian Jing curiously looked at the contents of my shopping cart and asked, “Why are you buying so many maternity and baby items?”
“Oh, these are for Wenya. She’s kind of marrying Su Peisheng soon. She may need these in the future.”
Wenya had to grit her teeth and play along, nodding in agreement,
“Yeah! It’s bound to happen sooner or later. My mom’s been pestering me about it every day. Buying this stuff now would make her feel more at ease.”
Being rather naïve, Jian Jing didn’t overthink it and agreed, “Alright then!”.
In the following dice game, as expected, I was the one to lose.
The dice I had bought online came with remote control capabilities, so I could control its rolls.
Basically, you could roll any number you wanted.
After paying, I had all the items wrapped up and booked a taxi to send Jian Jing home.
Jian Jing initially hesitated and stopped short.
“How could I keep accepting things from you both?”
I patted her shoulder and said,
“Once the child is born, let me be its Godmother! As the Godmother, it is proper for me to buy stuff for the baby. You don’t mind that, do you?”
“Well, then. It’s a burden for you guys anyway.”
“No need to be so formal, we’re all sisters. Don’t mention it again.”
After sending Jian Jing away, Wenya sighed,
“What exactly does marriage bring to a woman? Before getting married, Jian Jing was confident and gentle. Now, she has become so humble. She has given so much for this marriage.”
“Sigh…”
I still couldn’t bring myself to tell Jian Jing about Yu Jiahang’s misbehavior. I’ll have to wait till she gives birth to tell her.
On our way back, Wenya asked me,
“What was Gu Yuanzhou’s reaction after knowing Ye Mengyan is pregnant?”
“Don’t mention that scumbag. He disgusts me! He used Song Zexi’s issue to deceive me!”
I gave Wenya a rough idea of what had happened. She asked me again,
“So where are the Song family living now that Gu Yuanzhou has taken over their house?”
“I’m not sure, I haven’t heard from Song Zexi these days… Sigh, he’s always worried about dragging me down.”
“Any news from your uncle, Song Shixiong?”
I shook my head, “Nothing! His fate is unknown. However, if he is alive, seeing his house taken and company divided, he would undoubtedly step out. In my opinion, he is most likely dead.”
“Speaking of the Huaxin Group… Is Qi Ming dead or not? If he’s dead, the Huaxin Group will still be in the hands of the Song family.”
