I'm Pregnant with the Villain's Child

Chapter 89 – The new wedding dress and accessories (2)

“Don’t cry. When you cry, you’re breaking dad’s heart.”

Hearing these words, Ye Qing cried even harder. She stretched out her hands and hugged Father Ye. Her entire body was trembling as she inconsolably wept. “Dad, you have to help me. I’ve already put on the wedding dress. How could Lu Beichuan treat me like this?!”

“There, there. As long as there’s a way for dad to help you, I definitely will. Stop crying first.” Father Ye comforted her. He wiped the tears on cheeks.

Ye Qing also understood that continuing to cry wouldn’t solve her problem. When showing weakness, you had to pick the right time. Otherwise, it would only annoy others and be counterproductive.

Wiping her tears, she sobbed, “Dad, Beichuan… He definitely left to look for Ye Zhen. I really don’t understand. I look exactly the same as Ye Zhen, and I’m better than her in every way. Why does Beichuan like Ye Zhen instead of me? What kind of spell has Ye Zhen cast over Beichuan?!”

“Don’t worry. When Beichuan comes back, I’ll definitely have him explain himself to you!” Father Ye didn’t have much confidence when he said those words. He didn’t have the ability to force Lu Beichuan to do anything. When he thought about it carefully, he thought that his reticent younger daughter was truly very amazing. She had quietly captured Lu Beichuan’s heart while being low-key. She had managed to get Lu Beichuan hell-bent on marrying her. Her skills were much higher than her older sister’s.

Ye Qing also understood that her dad was only saying these words to comfort her. He wouldn’t actually demand an explanation from Lu Beichuan for her. Besides, even if her dad did say something, would that really change Lu Beichuan’s mind?

“Dad, do you really think this matter has nothing to do with Ye Zhen?”

Father Ye hesitated.

He definitely thought that this matter was related to Ye Zhen, but how could he say yes in front of his proud older daughter? It would be a blow to her ego.

“Don’t think too much. The situation isn’t even clear right now.”

“How is it unclear?!” Ye Qing suddenly became agitated. “Dad, are you on Ye Zhen’s side now? How can you be so biased? Ye Zhen is shamelessly stealing my husband from me!”

At the doorway, Old Master Lu, who was walking here with his cane, stopped once he heard these words.

He had originally wanted to come here to say a few words of comfort to the bride that had been abandoned by grandson. However, he hadn’t expected to hear such vehement words.

As someone in the older generation, there was nothing he hadn’t seen before. He had weathered through major upheavals, and crafty plots and schemes were nothing to him. Playing tricks in front of him was the same as welding a sword in front of Lord Guan. He didn’t expose their lies because he was above fussing over these trivial matters with children.

(T/N: Lord Guan is one of East Asia’s most popular paradigms of loyalty and righteousness.)

Old Master Lu had seen how conscientiously Ye Zhen had taken care of his grandson when he had been unconscious. Ye Zhen was an honest and sincere child. Her clear eyes couldn’t fool anyone. She wasn’t the type to scheme.

Thus, when he suddenly heard Ye Qing say those words, he felt extreme disgust.

The old butler, who was by Old Master Lu’s side, also furrowed his brow upon hearing those words. If he were to describe the older Miss Ye euphemistically, he would say she was a bit too outspoken. If he were to use less nice words, he would say she had poor upbringing. She really couldn’t be compared to her younger sister. Young Master couldn’t be blamed for disliking this woman.

Old Master Lu didn’t enter the dressing room. After sighing heavily, he turned to leave.

For a while, there was only the sound of Ye Qing weeping in the dressing room.
