I'm Pregnant with the Villain's Child

Chapter 126 – I’ll explain it to you tonight when we get home (2)

Ye Qing intimately held Ye Zhen’s hand and quietly said, “Mom and dad have scolded me lots of times too. I acted poorly in the past. Dad and mom regret their actions too. Dad and mom are getting old and their health isn’t good. When you have time, you should come home often to visit them.”

Actually, Ye Zhen truly didn’t care about the past. After all, she wasn’t the one that had received unfair treatment.

However, if she cheerfully accepted the Ye’s so-called reconciliation, it would be unfair to the original owner. She didn’t have the right to take the original owner’s place in making this decision.

She pulled her hand out of Ye Qing’s hand and reached for the juice on the table.

People came and went past their table. The sound of cheers and laughter never ended. Everything looked bright and dazzling underneath the lights. Everyone had dressed up magnificently. Holding glasses of red wine, the guests chatted in accordance with etiquette.

Father Ye had invited many business partners and famous business people to his 50th birthday. Of course, for someone like Father Ye, it was also a must to have his relatives and friends around on his important day.

As Mother Ye’s cousin, Shen Jing had one of the closest connections to the Ye’s. When she heard that her cousin’s husband was going to host a birthday banquet, she was the first one to call to ask for an invitation.

Since the banquet had started, Shen Jing’s gaze had lingered near Ye Zhen’s vicinity. She waited until she saw Lu Beichuan walking away, then she prepared to pull her daughter over there with her.

“Mom, I don’t want to go.”

Shen Jing resentfully looked at her unpromising daughter. Gritting her teeth, she hissed out, “You stupid girl, if you don’t go, how can you form a good relationship with your cousin? She’s Mrs. Lu now. Any random man that she introduces to you will be better than men you know now!”

“What’s wrong with the men I know? I think they’re pretty good.”

“What’s good about them? They’re all broke. None of them can afford to buy a house!” Looking at her daughter’s unwilling appearance, Shen Jing knew that her daughter was set on being stubborn. Softening her tone, she persuaded, “Wanwan, when you’re older, you’ll see that it’s better for a woman to marry well, then to do well on her own merits. Look at your cousin. She married Lu Beichuan. She’ll be enjoying good fortune for the rest of her life!”

Cheng Wan was still young. Thus, she was repulsed by her mother’s words. “Mom! How can you say that? That’s so shameful!”

“What’s wrong with me saying that? It’s the truth! Look at your cousin. Look at how happy she is. How is that shameful? She’s living in the lap of luxury!” Looking at Ye Zhen from afar, she sighed. “If my cousin had treated Ye Zhen a little bit better, the Ye’s would be able to ride to riches on their daughter’s coattails to success.”

Cheng Wan quietly said, “I haven’t seen you treating cousin Ye Zhen well either.”

Shen Jing pinched her daughter’s arm for saying those words. Why would she say such infuriating words?

In the end, Cheng Wan was pulled over to where Ye Zhen was sitting by her mother.

With a big smile, Shen Jing sat down across from Ye Zhen.

“Zhenzhen ah, do you remember me? I’m your mom’s cousin. It’s been so long since we last saw each other.

How could Ye Zhen forget?

Wasn’t this the woman that hadn’t minced words when she was demanding justice for Ye Qing at the wedding?

“Of course, I remember.”

“It was so hectic at the wedding, and I didn’t get a chance to have a good chat with you. I heard you’re pregnant. Congratulations. How are you feeling? It’s only been a month. The pregnancy symptoms shouldn’t be that bad yet, right?”

Ye Zhen nodded. “It’s been okay. The baby has been pretty good.”
