I'm Pregnant with the Villain's Child

Chapter 288 – Ye Zhen is the one wrongfully usurping her older sister’s place! (1)

In the past, Ye Zhen had been worried that Zhouzhou would go down a bad path due to his family members. They didn’t have a bottom line when it came to spoiling him. Thus, she had declared that she would be a strict mother before his birth. However, after Zhouzhou was born, Ye Zhen’s bottom line had disappeared.

She had retreated and retreated until there was no space left to retreat to.

Seeing her well-behaved and cute son looking at her with his eyes wide open and acting cutely spoiled in her arms. Hearing him call her mom in his milky voice. Watching as he stumbled towards her, one step at a time. Kissing her and hugging her. How could Ye Zhen bear to say a single harsh word to him? She wished that she could dig out her heart for him. She wanted to give everything that was good in the world to him.

Ye Zhen now fully understood Mother Lu’s mood of wanting to move the entire mall home when she had been pregnant with Zhouzhou.

She understood the truth that being too doting to your son would harm him. Blindly indulging and loving your son was detrimental to his development. However, it was so hard to say no to Zhouzhou when he looked at her with his limpid and bright eyes.

Fortunately, there was a stone-hearted father present.

That’s why Ye Zhen and Mother Lu weren’t able to wean Zhouzhou after half a month of trying, but Lu Beichuan succeeded in a few days.

It was also because of Lu Beichuan that she could spoil their son without worry.

Early next morning, Lu Beichuan and Ye Zhen went to the police station to record their statements.

After Lu Beichuan called the police, they immediately arrested Ye Zhenting. Actually, it couldn’t be considered an arrest. The loan sharks had handed him over to the police.

They had gone to the police station in a low-key manner, but as soon as they arrived at the doors of the police station, countless reporters swarmed over from all directions. Who knows where they got the scoop to come here. They surrounded Lu Beichuan and Ye Zhen. The flashing lights from the cameras never stopped.

“Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu, did you come to the police station over the matter of Ye Zhenting’s crime of kidnapping and extortion? Is there anything you want to say about this?”

“Mr. Lu, can you reveal any specific details about this kidnapping case?”

“Mrs. Lu, did you come here to testify against your father?”

“Mrs. Lu, according to the rumors, Ye Zhenting owed a debt to loan sharks because of his gambling and that’s why he tried to extort 100 million yuan from you. Is that true?”

These questions were all based on hearsay.

Lu Beichuan coldly swept his gaze over them. Ignoring the reporters and new media, he and Ye Zhen entered the police station under the protection of bodyguards.

The officer responsible for recording Ye Zhen’s statement led her to a quiet room and went through the routine business of asking her to retell the course of events related to the kidnapping. When Ye Zhen got to the part where Ye Zhenting had held her hostage, the officer asked, “Mrs. Lu, can you describe in detail how Ye Zhenting held you hostage?”

Ye Zhen recalled what happened. “At that time, Ye Zhenting took out a knife from I don’t where and stabbed someone, then he grabbed me and held me in front of him with one arm. He had me at knife point.”

Lu Beichuan reached out and placed his hand over Ye Zhen’s hand.

By the time Lu Beichuan had entered the room, the scene had already changed. That’s why he hadn’t witnessed the scene she was describing. Listening to how Ye Zhen was downplaying the incident, Lu Beichuan felt fear exploding in his heart.

The neck was the most fragile spot. A light swipe by sharp knife could easily cut an artery or vein. If Ye Zhenting had been more agitated that day, if that injury had been a little bit bigger, a little bit deeper…

Lu Beichuan wasn’t willing to deeply think about it.

“Were you injured anywhere?”

Ye Zhen thought it over and placed her hand on her neck, which was covered by a high collar. “Yes, there’s a small injury on my neck. It was cut by Ye Zhenting’s knife.”

“Mrs. Lu, would you mind taking a photo for evidence?”

Ye Zhen very cooperatively said, “I don’t mind.”
