Free Web NovelChapter 79: 79 Chapter: Trying to Steal a Chicken but Ended up Losing the Rice _1
After she was ready, she went to Ye Ming’s villa alone.
The knocking on the door continued for a while before it was finally opened.
What Xu Ling saw after the door was opened surprised her: Lin Bingqing and Xu Lele were looking at her with a strange expression.
Standing in front of two such beautiful women, Xu Ling felt completely outclassed and eclipsed, which made her feel an overwhelming sense of defeat.
Such comparisons among women are all too common, but Xu Ling had not expected to lose so completely, losing all her confidence at once. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Seeing Xu Ling’s arrival, Xu Lele asked curiously, "What are you doing here? Are you looking for Ye Ming?"
"However, it’s a pity you’ve come at the wrong time; he just left."
Xu Ling shook her head and said, "I’m not looking for him, Miss Xu. I came specifically to see you this time."
Xu Lele frowned slightly, feeling even more curious, "What do you want with me? We don’t have much of a relationship, do we? And what right do you have to talk to me?"
Xu Lele was extremely annoyed with women like Xu Ling, especially since she always opposed Ye Ming. How could Xu Lele possibly feel any goodwill towards her?
It was as if Xu Ling had already anticipated Xu Lele’s reaction. She patted her stomach calmly and stated, "Indeed, I don’t have any right to talk to you, but the child in my belly certainly does."
"What do you mean?" Not only Xu Lele, but also Lin Bingqing beside her, was very surprised.
It was only then that the two women noticed Xu Ling was wearing a loose-fitting dress today, and there was a slight bulge in her abdomen, as if she were pregnant.
Xu Ling spoke leisurely, "Miss Xu, haven’t you always liked Ye Ming? Haven’t you always wanted to be with him? But with this child, that will become impossible."
Xu Lele’s eyebrows knitted together and she asked irritably, "Does Ye Ming know about your pregnancy?"
Xu Ling smiled and confidently replied, "Of course he doesn’t know. I haven’t told him. I’ve only told you."
Hearing this, a wave of jealousy rose in Xu Lele’s heart.
She had never expected Xu Ling to have a child with Ye Ming.
If she wanted to be with Ye Ming in the future, not only would she have to overcome her family’s difficulties, but she would also have to deal with this child.
However, in the blink of an eye, Xu Lele had already thought of something. She believed Xu Ling must be using the child as leverage to negotiate terms with her.
So she asked, "What do you want, then?"
Sure enough, Xu Ling continued, "I really do wish for you and your lover to be together, so to avoid causing you trouble, I will take the initiative to abort the child."
"But before that, I want you to promise me one condition: to bring Qianyang Corporation back to life. As long as Qianyang Corporation is revived, I will immediately abort this child and clear the way for you."
"Miss Xu, this shouldn’t be difficult for you. It’s just a matter of your word. Surely you won’t refuse to agree to even this small condition?" Xu Ling spoke pleadingly, causing Xu Lele to fall into thought and suspicion.
Seeing Xu Lele’s reaction, Xu Ling couldn’t help but smirk internally.
Her plan was to deceive Xu Lele into sympathizing with her, to help them out of their current difficulties.
With Xu Lele’s feelings for Ye Ming, Xu Ling’s sudden interference could very likely also impact the relationship between Ye Ming and Xu Lele.
Xu Ling thought herself a genius, having come up with such a brilliant plan that killed two birds with one stone.
Regrettably, she was far too proud of herself too soon.
She took herself for a fool, and likewise treated others as fools.
Xu Lele just looked at her seriously and saw through Xu Ling’s trick. She said, "Ye Ming once told me, he never touched you, so how could you be pregnant?"
Xu Ling’s heart tightened, and she hurriedly said, "Miss Xu, you only know what’s on the surface, not his filthy interior."
"Actually, Ye Ming is nothing but a scumbag who has ditched me after getting me pregnant and now refuses to take responsibility. That’s why I had to find someone else to take over. Think about it, why would I joke with my own innocence?"
She spoke as if righteous and truthful, but at that moment Xu Lele revealed a disdainful smile and replied, "Sorry, I really can’t see any innocence in you. When you cheated on Ye Ming, where was your innocence?"
"And let me remind you, the next time you put on a performance, better make it more convincing. It’s pretty obvious with a pillow stuffed under your dress."
"I..." Before Xu Ling could speak, Lin Bingqing beside her said, "My master would never stoop so low as to have a child with a woman like you. You’d better leave quickly, and spare yourself further humiliation."
Lin Bingqing’s words dealt her a critical blow, leaving Xu Ling feeling utterly ashamed.
In an unguarded moment, there was a ’plop’ as the pillow in Xu Ling’s stomach fell to the ground.
"Miss Xu, your baby has fallen. You’d better pick it up quickly!" After saying this, Xu Lele promptly slammed the room’s door shut, paying no further attention to Xu Ling.
Her plan to deceive had backfired, leaving Xu Ling to angrily pick up the pillow and walk out.
Wang Hai had been waiting outside for a long time and, seeing Xu Ling storm out, he quickly approached her and asked, "How did it go?"
Xu Ling replied irritably, "What do you think? I was exposed."
"That bastard Xu Lele, daring to mock and insult me, I will make her pay! Just because she was born into a good family, what does she have to be proud of? Pah!"
"That wretched woman, sooner or later, I will make her kneel and apologize to me!"
Her voice was so loud that Wang Hai hastily covered her mouth, saying, "Ma’am, please, keep your voice down."
Having just offended the Chen Family, if they were to offend the Xu Family as well, they really couldn’t go on living; they might as well find a block of tofu and smash themselves to death with it.
Just as Xu Ling’s plan was falling apart, Wang Hai suddenly received a call from his father: "What’s the situation? Why didn’t the Chen Family finish us off completely? Did you do something?"
Hearing his father’s voice soften, Wang Hai’s face immediately blossomed with joy.
He relayed his speculations to his father.
He had always suspected that the Chen Family’s relationship with Ye Ming wasn’t that solid and was just a superficial face-saving measure. In reality, the Chen Family never took Ye Ming seriously, otherwise, Qianyang Corporation would have been dead long ago.
"Dad, don’t worry, I will definitely rebuild our relationship with the Chen Family. We still have hope!"
