Chapter 178: Mom, I’m Pregnant
“Let’s blow this thing out of proportion; I want everyone to know you’re pregnant. That way, Lin Li won’t dare harm the child.”
“And under public pressure, Lin Li will have no choice but to marry you.”
“Alright, mom, I’ll do as you say.”
Qin Ruoyao couldn’t help but smirk.
It seemed that fate was still on her side. Just when she had nowhere else to turn, it brought her this child.
The scandal involving Qin Ruoyao and Lin Li had already been making waves, and the news of Qin Ruoyao’s pregnancy spread like wildfire in just an afternoon.
Lin Chang also saw the news and slammed his phone down with a grim expression.
“She’s actually pregnant!” Lin Chang gritted his teeth.
Qin Ruoyao was a stain on Lier’s reputation, and now the pregnancy drama had blown up even more.
How could Lier find a noblewoman from a family better than the Lin family in the future?
“Who’s pregnant?” Jiang Shuqin asked curiously.
“Qin Ruoyao.” Lin Chang answered gravely.
“What?!” Jiang Shuqin abruptly stood up from the couch.
Lin Chang clenched his teeth and said, “Now everyone is speculating whether Lier will marry Qin Ruoyao. If he doesn’t, our whole family will be condemned. If he does, people outside will mock us endlessly.”
Now the Lin family faced a difficult choice.
Jiang Shuqin’s mind was also in chaos, unsure of how to respond.
In any case, Qin Ruoyao must not enter the Lin family; otherwise, with her nature, she would surely make life miserable for them.
Lin Li returned.
Since hearing that Lin Xuan would represent Shangqing University in the national computer competition, these days he had been preparing for the contest.
He had to beat Lin Xuan!
Lin Li didn’t have time to go online.
“Dad, mom, what’s going on?” Lin Li looked at Lin Chang and Jiang Shuqin’s unpleasant expressions and couldn’t help but ask.
“Look for yourself.” Lin Chang threw the phone onto the coffee table and said sternly, “Look at the mess you’ve caused!”
Jiang Shuqin frowned disapprovingly, “What attitude is this? It’s clearly a scheme by Lin Xuan targeting Lier and Qin Ruoyao; Lier is also a victim. Why are you blaming Lier?”
“A mother who spoils her son ruins him!” Lin Chang gritted his teeth.
Lin Li’s gaze fell on the phone, and he felt a strong sense of foreboding.
He shakily picked up the phone.
There, in glaring blue letters, it read — Qin Ruoyao is pregnant with Lin Li’s child.
Lin Li’s eyes widened.
Every time he was intimate with Qin Ruoyao, he took precautions.
How could Qin Ruoyao end up pregnant?
Lin Li’s face turned pale.
Previously, his affair with Qin Ruoyao was just a fleeting romance; over time, people would forget about it.
But now that Qin Ruoyao was pregnant, everything was different…
That dirty slut Qin Ruoyao must have done something underhanded!
“You must resolve this matter for me!” Lin Chang said grimly.
“Yes.”
Lin Li’s expression darkened.
Qin Ruoyao, this is your fault!
Lin Xuan had just come out of the void, lying leisurely on the bed while opening his phone.
As soon as he logged into Weibo, he saw a notification.
“Holy crap,” Lin Xuan was stunned, “Qin Ruoyao is pregnant!”
What happened?
In the previous life until his death, Qin Ruoyao never got pregnant.
Could it be…
Lin Xuan thought of Luo Yuan and called him.
“Bro Xuan.” Luo Yuan’s tone was quite flattering.
Before, they were sworn rivals who couldn’t stand each other, but now Luo Yuan had become Lin Xuan’s devoted fanboy.
“Is Qin Ruoyao’s pregnancy your doing?” Lin Xuan asked.
“Yao Yao, what’s wrong?” Mother Qin asked worriedly.
Qin Ruoyao’s complexion was pale.
“I don’t know what happened. I suddenly felt terrible. My stomach has never hurt like this before.” Tears lingered on Qin Ruoyao’s eyelashes.
Mother Qin anxiously said, “I’ll take you to the hospital.”
“Ugh—” Qin Ruoyao started vomiting into the sink again.
Mother Qin patted Qin Ruoyao’s back, worriedly saying, “When I was pregnant with you, Yao Yao, I vomited nonstop too. But there’s no way you could be pregnant, right?”
Pregnant…
Qin Ruoyao’s eyes lit up.
She grabbed Mother Qin’s hand, “Mom, I know why my stomach feels so uncomfortable.”
“I’m pregnant! I must be pregnant!”
Her voice was filled with excitement.
If she was pregnant, she could use this child to gain status and marry into the Lin family.
“Pregnant?” Mother Qin furrowed her brows, “Whose child?”
“It’s Lin Li’s. Mom, I’m carrying Lin Li’s child.” Qin Ruoyao grabbed Mother Qin’s hand, “I can marry into the Lin family.”
“But Yao Yao, didn’t you say Lin Li always used protection?” Mother Qin questioned.
“Mom, during the last few times, I secretly switched his condoms; they had holes in them.” Qin Ruoyao excitedly explained.
Mother Qin’s eyes lit up, “If you really are pregnant, Yao Yao, you can marry into the Lin family through this child.”
“Right.” Qin Ruoyao nodded, “Once I become Lin Li’s wife, I’ll have endless money. If I want to enter the entertainment industry, I can use Starlight Entertainment’s resources to promote myself.”
“Also, I must destroy Lin Xuan’s company!”
Qin Ruoyao’s eyes were filled with hope.
This child came at such a perfect time.
“Yao Yao, let me take you to the hospital for confirmation.” Mother Qin took Qin Ruoyao to register at the obstetrics department.
They opted for a blood test, which required waiting two hours for results.
Worried that Qin Ruoyao might get tired, Mother Qin sent her back to their rental apartment first.
Mother Qin returned with the report.
“Mom, what are the results? Am I pregnant?” Qin Ruoyao anxiously asked.
“Pregnant.” Mother Qin smiled and nodded.
Qin Ruoyao snatched the report, and upon seeing the words “pregnant,” her fingers trembled with excitement.
“Mom, I’ll go find Brother Lin Li.” Qin Ruoyao excitedly said.
“Yao Yao, wait.”
Mother Qin stopped her.
“Mom, what’s wrong?” Qin Ruoyao asked curiously.
“You can’t just rush over there.” Mother Qin continued, “Last time, you tarnished his reputation, and he must hate you now. If you go to him directly, you might lose the child.”
Hearing this, Qin Ruoyao recalled what Lin Li had said to her at the banquet.
Mom is right; Lin Li wouldn’t want to keep this child.
Qin Ruoyao touched her belly, feeling a wave of fear.
This was her last card; she couldn’t afford to lose it.
“Mom, what should I do?” Qin Ruoyao urgently asked.
“Let me think.” Mother Qin furrowed her brows, pondering a strategy.
Time ticked by.
Two minutes later.
“I’ve got it.” Mother Qin’s eyes lit up.
“Here’s what we’ll do, Yao Yao. We’ll find a matchmaker…”
