I’m Pregnant with the Villain’s Child
chapter-99

Chapter 99 – And now, someone was treasuring that grit as if it was a diamond while the pearl was tossed away like it was trash. How satisfying! (1)

The guests didn’t know why the bride had suddenly changed from Ye Qing to Ye Zhen, Perhaps, it was a case of mistaken identity because the two sisters were identical twins? But, could a mistake of that magnitude happen at a wedding?

“Shen Ru, what’s going on? Isn’t today supposed to be Lu Beichuan and Ye Qing’s wedding? Why did it suddenly become Ye Zhen that’s marrying Lu Beichuan? How could a bride be casually switched?”

The person asking this question was Shen Jing, Ye Qing’s mother’s cousin. Shen Jing had always seemed like forthright person that spoke what she thought without deliberation. But, most of the words she said weren’t pleasing to others. People that didn’t know her well thought she had a sharp tongue and a soft heart. They thought she was an upright and warm-hearted person that disguised her good intentions with harsh words. They thought she wasn’t the type to scheme. It was only that she was always blurting out unpleasant-sounding words and ending up offending people. To put it simply, they thought she had low EQ.

However Mother Ye had known her cousin for a long time. How could she not know what she was thinking?

If those words weren’t said out of thoughtlessness, then it had to be from malicious intent. She knew that Shen Jing was very clever. Her cousin wasn’t stupid at all.

In front of Mrs. Lu, Shen Jing put on the act of speaking boldly in defense of justice and as if she wanted to right the wrong for Ye Qing. “At the very least, I’m Ye Qing’s little aunt. Seeing that our Ye Qing has been bullied, don’t we need to clearly know what happened so we can demand justice from the other party for her sake?”

Mother Ye’s expression wasn’t good. With a gloomy face, she answered, “Enough. Don’t meddle in this matter.”

“Shen Ru, you’re so good at keeping your temper.” Shen Jing was next to Mother Ye. She whispered, “Lu Beichuan abandoned our Ye Qing in front of everyone and brought Ye Zhen here to go up on the stage instead. This is clearly the same as slapping Qingqing in the face. If we don’t demand an explanation today, how will Qingqing show her face in public in the future? You can’t just let them get away with bullying her! Who do they think our Qingqing is? They go from saying Ye Qing will marry into their family to the groom leaving her at the altar without a word. There’s a line of boys chasing after our Qingqing. There are many people that want her.”

“Enough, I know how to handle this matter. You can go back.”

Mother Ye was very unhappy right now. Shen Jing was right. After what happened at this wedding, her Qingqing would become a laughingstock in the eyes of others. Thus, she wasn’t in the mood to argue with Shen Jing.

“Cousin, how can you have this attitude? You’re Qingqing’s mom. How can you swallow your anger like this? No, this won’t do. If you won’t go to ask, I will. Even if you can swallow this grievance down as her mother, I can’t bear to do the same as her little aunt!”

After saying this, she fiercely went towards the Lu family to settle accounts.

Ye Qing grabbed Shen Jing to stop her. Apprehensive because of the Lu family’s other guests, she hastily whispered, “Little Aunt, we’ll handle this matter on our own. You don’t have to worry about it.”

Since no one had said anything, the guests could only make random guesses. Without evidence, there might even be people that would think Ye Zhen had shamelessly snatched her older sister’s husband in order to marry into a rich family. As time passed and gossip spread, who knows what the story would change into?

As long as nothing was revealed to the public, Ye Qing wouldn’t suffer from harm and only benefit from today’s incident. But, if the truth was revealed to everyone, then she really wouldn’t be able to show her face in public again.

Shen Jing looked at Ye Qing’s red eyes. “Look at our Qingqing. She’s been so wronged. If you guys don’t dare to say something, I’ll say it for you. A person with nothing to lose has nothing to be scared of. You guys are scared of the Lu family, but I’m not!”

After saying this, she pulled her hand out of Ye Qing’s hand, Ye Qing repeatedly tried to pull her back to stop her.

Keeping her voice at a low volume, Ye QIng said, “Little Aunt, never mind. You don’t have to go.”

At this moment, Mother Ye wanted nothing more than to have someone throw her cousin out of the venue. But, she was the bride’s mother. Everyone was looking at her, so she couldn’t take any drastic actions.
