I’m Pregnant with the Villain’s Child - Chapter 76

Chapter 76 – Wedding Ring (3)

It left a bad taste in Mother Ye’s mouth when she saw Mrs. Lu holding Ye Zhen’s hand. Glancing at her older daughter, who had been wronged, she comfortingly patted the back of Ye Qing’s hand. “Mrs. Lu, there’s something I have to talk about with Qingqing. My husband can make the decisions on the wedding.

“Sure, no problem.”

Mother Ye gestured for Ye Zhen to follow with her to a room. Right after the door was closed, Mother Ye impatiently started her interrogation. “Ye Zhen, what’s wrong with you? You were suppose to go abroad. Why did you go back to the Lu’s without telling us?”

Ye Zhen didn’t know what Ye Qing had told Mother Ye, but at this point, there was nothing she needed to hide.

“Lu Beichuan was the one that brought me back there. He already knows that I took older sister’s place in marrying him, so there’s no point in putting on act in front of him.”

“He knows?” Mother Ye furrowed her brows. “How did he find out?”

Ye Zhen coyly answered, “How would I know how he found out? Not only that, he also knows that we tried switching back, and it was older sister that’s been staying at the Lu family’s villa during the past few days.”

“This… Then… What….” For a long time, Mother Ye wasn’t able to express any coherent thoughts.

If he already knew everything, would her Qingqing still be able to formally marry into the Lu family?

Ye Zhen looked at her and sighed. “There’s nothing we can do about it now. Besides, the truth was bound to come out sooner or later. Since Lu Beichuan already knows the truth, everyone will eventually know about switch. Rather than make it hard to step down later, why don’t we just be honest now? Once everything is laid out in the open, we can discuss and perhaps…”

Ye Qing, who had just entered the room, heard Ye Zhen’s words and a fury that was hard to suppress rose up in heart.

She hadn’t guessed wrong!

“I knew it! You’ve been harboring this thought since the very beginning! You never had the intention of giving the status of Mrs. Lu back to me. You lied to my face that you wanted to go abroad, then behind my back, you told Lu Beichuan the truth and had him go the airport to bring you back to the Lu’s. Do you really think that by doing this you can rest easy?”

Ye Qing pointed at Ye Zhen and angrily said, “Ye Zhen, everyone knows that it was me, Ye Qing, that married Lu Beichuan. How dare you usurp my position?!”

“Ye Zhen, tell me, is your older sister speaking the truth?”

For some people, their hearts were biased, so of course, their words and actions would be biased too.

Ye Zhen coldly looked at the mother and daughter pair. They were glowering with self-righteous indignation. “Older sister, stop distorting the truth. I didn’t usurp your position. I only took your place because you didn’t want that position. And now that we’re in the situation, you’re trying to push all the blame onto me.”

“Fine, I’ll admit it. I was wrong before. I shouldn’t have run off with Lin Zhan. At that time, I didn’t know that the person he likes was you. Now that I know, I can’t be with him anymore.” Ye Qing tearfully looked at Ye Zhen. “This entire time, I’ve been considering your needs, but what about you? Have you ever thought about me?”

Hearing Ye Qing’s words, Mother Ye was a bit stunned. “What? Lin Zhan likes Ye Zhen?”

Ye Qing nodded. “That’s why I can’t be with him. Zhenzhen, haven’t you always liked Lin Zhan? I’m giving him back you now, so can you do the same by giving Lu Beichuan back to me?”

Ye Qing knew that Ye Zhen had always liked Lin Zhan. She could see it just from how Ye Zhen would look at Lin Zhan.

In the past, she had enjoyed how Ye Zhen had been envious of her for obtaining Lin Zhan’s love and care. She believed that as long as Lin Zhan confessed to Ye Zhen, Ye Zhen would leave with Lin Zhan without any hesitation.

After listening to Ye Qing, Ye Zhen slightly furrowed her brow. “Isn’t he in love with you?”

T/N: It’s mind-boggling how right after Ye Zhen calls her out on her lies, she starts telling a new one and continues to try to twist the truth to make herself look good. Ye Qing’s narcissism is off the charts.
