I’m Pregnant with the Villain’s Child

Chapter 203 – Do you still remember the words that you said to your fans when you won the newcomer award? (2)

Meng Jie looked as if she was deeply musing. When she recovered, she hastily turned her head away to hide the bleakness in her eyes. She choked back what she was feeling and kept silent.

“Miss Meng, do you know that since you left the entertainment industry, your fans have been regularly clocking in to check for your return. They’re waiting for you to come back. There’s so many old fans that have been with you for eight years. Are you really unwilling to return to the entertainment industry and go back to the movie screen?”

Ye Zhen could see that Meng Jie was very conflicted.

Meng Jie had been forced to surrender and leave the entertainment circle four years ago. Back then, the only studio that had been willing to sign her on after she tried to come back out of retirement had been acquired because of her. She had also attempted to get back into acting by playing small roles, but her scenes were all edited out without exception.

Her hopes had already been dashed so many times. The last four years had been peaceful, and she no longer had the courage to try again.

“Miss Meng, if you’re worried about hurting me by association, you don’t have to worry. I’m sure you’ve heard of Lu Corporation. If that man wants to oppose Lu Corporation because of this, let’s see if he has that ability.” Ye Zhen tried her best to persuade, “As long as you’re willing, Lu Corporation can be your backer.”

Meng Jie’s gaze finally relaxed. “As far as I know, Lu Corporation and its subsidiaries aren’t involved in the film and television industry.”

Ye Zhen smiled. “It hasn’t in the past, but it will in the future. CEO Lu is a bold person that’s willing to task risks. I think he probably won’t refuse entering the film and television industry. You don’t have to worry about it. Since Lu Corporation wants to get in on a share of the action, then the film and television industry can only carve out a portion for it. When you have money and power, you can do whatever you want. I think Miss Meng should understand this truth.”

Meng Jie wryly smiled. “Yeah, if you have money and power, you can do whatever you want.”

“So then, why don’t you go back and consider whether or not you want to accept this cooperation? Is it worth it to give up on the career that you love because someone forced you?”

Meng Jie fell into silent contemplation.

The phone next to Meng Jie rang. As soon as she saw the name on the phone screen, she furrowed her brow and pressed the button to hang up the call without hesitation.

Ye Zhen didn’t clearly see the caller ID on the screen. She only caught a glimpse of the name, “You”.

Even Ye Zhen could sense that Meng Jie was impatient with that person. Meng Jie was someone with excellent manners. Even when she got a call from Ye Zhen, a stranger, her voice had been friendly. In contrast, her response to this phone call by this You person was so impolite.

Meng Jie picked up her phone, stood up, and said her goodbye, “Mrs. Lu, I’ll carefully consider your proposal and get back to you as soon as possible. Will that work?”

“Sure, not a problem. I’ll wait for your call.”

After sending Meng Jie off, Ye Zhen sighed in relief.

She knew that Meng Jie’s matter would be successful.

In the past, small companies hadn’t dared to sign on Meng Jie and big companies didn’t think it was worth offending that person by signing on Meng Jie.

Meng Jie was a person that loved acting. She wouldn’t give up on the opportunity to make a comeback.

As for the person that had gotten Meng Jie blacklisted, he was an idiot. There was no reason to be scared of him.

After completing this matter, Ye Zhen returned to Lu’s villa under the escort of a bodyguard.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhen was quite angry. She didn’t understand why Lu Beichuan thought it was necessary to assign her a bodyguard. It was now a peaceful and prosperous world!

And so, when she returned home, she was gleeful when she heard Mother Lu complaining to Lu Beichuan, who had come home before the end of the workday.

Because Mother Lu’s old illness had flared up, she had been quietly staying at home to recuperate. Ye Zhen didn’t dare to let her know about the gossip online. She was worried that she would get angry.

Mother Lu’s health had just been getting better when she heard about this news. At 3PM, she summoned Lu Beichuan home to scold him in person.

“Take a hard look at yourself. What’s the use in me giving birth to you?! You can’t even do a good job protecting your wife. Those people have painted such a ugly picture of Zhenzhen. Even as her mother-in-law, I feel… I feel wronged on her behalf. You’re Zhenzhen’s husband. How could you let Zhenzhen be so horribly wronged without even knowing about it? What do they mean by she’s the other woman? My poor Zhouzhou, they’re calling him the other woman’s son!”
