C32 (1/2)
”A few days ago, Miss Lan and his lover went on a date at Bar XX … The two of them embraced each other intimately. Finally, the man carried her away and left for the city hospital … After careful investigation by our reporter, we confirmed that Miss Lan has been pregnant for more than two months. From this matter and her silence regarding the matter of pregnancy, it is very likely that the child in her womb did not belong to Young Master Qi! ”
”... That was the end of the news report for today … ”Please continue to pay attention …”
It was not that she didn't want to blow the matter and divorce Qi Yanjun.
Sensing Guan Xiao Xiao's worried mood, Lan Yue's heart warmed a little. She ended his call with her and picked up the old man's call.
The last time he spoke with the old man was three days ago. He asked him why he didn't go back to his dwelling, and when Lan Yue said that proper exercise would benefit his baby, he didn't say anything else. He only asked her to pay attention to her body.
But this time, Old Master Qi's tone was extremely serious, as if he was commanding his soldiers.
”Lan Yue, you have already sent someone to pick you up. Pack your things and come over immediately.”
His tone was firm and there was no room for negotiation.
As Lan Yue heard the noise coming from the phone, she tilted her head back. Her beautiful eyebrows were knitted together like a fried dough twist, it seemed that the old man knew about the news as well, so no matter who the mastermind was, she had to solve the problem right now.
This was a small matter, but it all depended on her choice.
But no matter which path she chose, the result wasn't what she wanted.
Lan Yue was deep in thought, after who knows how long, suddenly, a series of knocks sounded out. She came to her senses, put on a goose yellow jacket and went to open the door, when the door was opened, she saw two men with straight faces, standing tall and wearing military uniforms.
She knew them. She was the old man's guard.
”Young Madam, the Old Master has asked us to come and bring you back.”
The other party bowed courteously, his tone the same as the old tutor, not allowing him to reject.
Lan Yue smiled bitterly, she was not here to pick her up, she was clearly taking her as a prisoner and sending her back to interrogate her.
”Wait a moment, let me change.”
She nodded politely and returned to her bedroom. She casually picked out a loose dress with fashionable flat-heeled sandals and followed the two of them downstairs to a military jeep parked downstairs.
Half an hour later, the carriage arrived at military compound.
Lan Yue stopped in her tracks, and casually walked in. Just as she was about to receive the slippers from the servant, a sharp female voice suddenly sounded out: ”She's not a person from my Qi Family anymore, what slippers are you going to give her?”
The servant's hand hovered in the air, at a loss of what to do.
Lan Yue immediately recognized that the person who spoke was her mother-in-law, Yun Fang.
Yun Fang had disliked her since she was young for no reason at all. Fortunately, he and Qi Yanjun's father, Qi Lin Song, could not stay in Hai City for long due to their business relationship, and could not meet each other even once a year. When Lan Yue and Qi Yanjun got married, the old man probably said something to her that caused her to miss the wedding rather than cause a ruckus.
”Shut up!”
The Old Master Qi bellowed, and then said solemnly: ”Xiao Yue, come in.”
”Yes.”
Lan Yue took her slippers and changed, and walked over. After hearing the old man say ”Sit,” she chose a single seat on the sofa, raised her eyes and scanned, and realised that not only was the old man with Yun Fang, his wife, there, even her nemesis, Qi Yingying was there.
This scene was like three halls of interrogation.
”Lan Yue, I believe you know the purpose of my visit with Lin Song this time.” Yun Fang was in her mid-forties, and because of her well-maintained and delicate dressing, she looked young and graceful, she looked sideways at Lan Yue, and did not hide her disgust at all. ”If it wasn't for the Old Master's consent, I would not have allowed you to enter the Qi Family at all.”
”Who would have thought that you would actually have a bastard enter the door! You are really despicable! ”
Each and every word of his was extremely harsh and piercing.
Lan Yue clenched her small hands in her lap as anger surfaced on her face. Just as she was about to speak, the old man had already pulled down his face and scolded, ”How are you speaking?
”...”
Yun Fang became silent. She had married Qi Lin Song to someone who had a high status in her family, if it wasn't for the fact that her mother gave birth to two sons in succession to Qi Family, why else would she, a daughter of a rich and powerful family, be able to marry her?
”Grandfather, it's not like my mom is wrong.” Qi Yingying was the youngest child of the Qi Family, and in her late twenties, she had an outstanding complexion, and had always been doted on by the Old Master Qi. She said half-coquettishly and half-wrongly, ”Lan Yue, the daughter of a servant, how much blessings did she have in her previous life before she could become your brother's wife?”
”Not only is he giving big brother a green hat, he is also giving birth to a vile creature. Grandfather, go outside and listen to what others have to say about Qi Family and big brother.”
”They said that Qi Family had eight lifetimes of bad luck and married a shameless woman. Grandfather, even if you don't care about Qi Family's reputation, you should still think about your big brother, right?”
”...”
Qi Yingying's words hit the nail on the head. When Qi Yingying had reached the old man's heart, he had always loved Qi Yanjun the most, and the higher he was, the more she would care for him. Qi Family had been famous for decades, but had almost made her name known to everyone.
Therefore, he looked at Lan Yue with a face as deep as water, and said coldly.
