Luo Yingshu faintly heard Li Chuchu's voice. Turning her head, she really saw Li Chuchu in the crowd.
Hearing her speak up for herself,
Luo Yingshu was slightly stunned. There was a kind of gratitude in her heart that was hard to put into words.
The situation here remained at a stalemate.
Luo Yingshu turned to look at the man in front of her. She felt extremely disappointed. She really had misjudged him before. "You've been fooling around with your mistress at school for months. You've colluded with each other and used your position to get together. You're just a couple of scoundrels. And now she's still living in my house. You've been living openly in the house bought with my family's money. How can you still have the nerve to say that she seduced you? Liu Xiaocheng, where's your face?"
The looks in the on - lookers' eyes towards Liu Xiaocheng changed a bit.
If it was just an affair, it might be understandable. But he was also relying on his wife's money and taking over his wife's property. That was really despicable.
Liu Xiaocheng gritted his teeth and shifted his eyes to Zhang Yu, who had been silent. He glanced at the director behind him and tilted his head towards Zhang Yu.
Although the director was very reluctant to cooperate with Liu Xiaocheng, for the sake of the school's reputation, someone had to take the blame now. Zhang Yu was not a teacher of their school. No matter right or wrong, they could only let her take the fall.
"I'd like to clarify here. Zhang Yu is not a formally - employed teacher in our school. She's an outsider. This woman has improper behavior and is morally corrupt. She sneaked into the school to damage the reputation and family of our school's teachers."
This was really a far - fetched statement.
When others were talking about one thing, he was talking about another. Wasn't he deliberately diverting the on - lookers' attention to Zhang Yu?
These leaders were not good at handling things, but they were quick at shifting the blame.
Li Chuchu scoffed at this.
Zhang Yu's body swayed unsteadily. Her lips were pale.
She bit her lower lip tightly. Her empty eyes stared fixedly at Liu Xiaocheng, as if she wanted to bore a hole through him.
Liu Xiaocheng felt like he had needles on his back, but he straightened his back and tried his best to ignore the look behind him. If someone had to be sacrificed in this matter, it could only be Zhang Yu.
"Brother Liu... Are you really going to abandon me?"
Liu Xiaocheng trembled all over. This intimate address that she used to call him in bed in the past had now become a death sentence.
If he responded, he would be finished.
Liu Xiaocheng endured the discomfort in his heart and said, "I'm not your brother. Don't try to get familiar with me."
Zhang Yu's eyes were full of sorrow and her expression was blank.
"Brother Liu, when you were being ambiguous with me in Xiangcheng, you didn't say that you were already married. Later, when we came here, you said that you didn't love your wife and would divorce her soon and then marry me. That's why I was with you. If I could do it all over again, if I had known about your family situation, I would never have come to Ningcheng with you."
Her small body was almost hoarse from shouting, "If I could leave, I would have left long ago. But Brother Liu... I'm pregnant with your child!"
As soon as these words were said, the on - lookers widened their eyes.
Their gazes focused on Zhang Yu's gaunt figure and the faintly bulging belly. Even Liu Xiaocheng turned around in disbelief and glared angrily at Zhang Yu: "When did this happen? Are you lying to me?"
There were tears in Zhang Yu's eyes: "No. I haven't had my period for a month and a half. I've been feeling nauseous every morning these days and can't eat anything."
Although she hadn't been to the hospital for an examination yet, she had to insist on this matter in front of everyone now, otherwise she would really have nowhere to go.
You could say that Zhang Yu was stupid, but sometimes she was quite smart. Once she latched onto someone, she wouldn't let go.
You could say that she was smart, but she had chosen such a self - destructive way to try to climb up.
She was like a dodder, clinging to the branches of other dark and damp plants and climbing up bit by bit until she had taken all the nutrients.
Liu Xiaocheng instinctively wanted to deny the pregnancy, because it was possible that her period was just delayed. But out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the change in the people around him and quickly shut his mouth.
He stared fixedly at Zhang Yu's belly, not understanding how there could be a child.
What should he do?
Now Luo Yingshu would definitely never forgive him.
He instinctively looked at Luo Yingshu's face, but there was not a trace of shock in her eyes. There was only extreme disappointment in him and a gradually growing indifference as if he were a stranger.
He panicked and tried to save his image: "Yingshu... What she said may not be true. We can go to the hospital for an examination. Maybe it's just an accident... And, even if there is a child... The pregnancy is still in the early stage. We can still have an abortion..." Teacher Liu, who was always fluent in his lectures, now stammered incoherently.
"Let's get a divorce, Liu Xiaocheng. I'm saying this for the last time. Don't make me look down on you."
Luo Yingshu's tone was calm.
After saying that, she didn't even want to look at him anymore.
Liu Xiaocheng's eyes dimmed completely. He was like a stray dog, defeated and dejected.
Zhang Yu insisted on dragging him down, and he was helpless.
There were sighs all around.
No one had expected things to turn out like this!
This man looked so honest, but unexpectedly, he had such big appetites. He was trying to deceive both sides!
He had his wife at home and his mistress outside. He used his wife's money to support his mistress and let his mistress live in his wife's house.
Everyone's looks towards Liu Xiaocheng had turned into disdain and sarcasm.
An affair was one thing, but having a child made it completely different. If this hadn't been discovered, what would happen if this illegitimate child grew up and suddenly came out to divide the property?
Fortunately, the wife had discovered this. Otherwise, there would have been countless troubles in the future.
It had to be said that people were more sensitive about property protection than marriage protection.
This man didn't tell a single truth, and this girl was really brave enough to get pregnant before marriage. She had really gambled everything, right?
She was really stupid.
The wife was really right. These two were just a couple of scoundrels. They shouldn't go and harm others anymore.
Suddenly, Liu Xiaocheng flew into a rage. He grabbed Zhang Yu's clothes and roared at her desperately: "You were the one who stripped naked and begged me. Why are you dragging me down! You didn't come to ask me for help. You came to kill me!"
Without his false exterior, he now looked like a furious and impotent devil.
Zhang Yu fell to the ground at once.
She curled up and covered her stomach. She was shaking all over in pain,
and there was a faint trace of blood between her legs.
The director was almost scared out of his wits. He hoped that she wouldn't die at the school gate!
He quickly ordered someone to carry her to the hospital.
The crowd dispersed at once.
...
After going to the hospital for an examination, it was confirmed that Zhang Yu was indeed pregnant.
The fetus was just over a month old, and its condition was a bit unstable.
But it could barely be saved.
The matter of the divorce had reached this point, and there was basically no room for negotiation.
The Luo family insisted on getting a divorce, and the mistress from the Liu family was pregnant. The matter had become so big that it couldn't be whitewashed by a few words from the school leaders or Liu Xiaocheng.
Even if this matter was taken to the neighborhood committee, they couldn't force the Luo family to raise someone else's child. They could only approve the divorce.
It was just a bit difficult to divide the property in the end.
But Li Chuchu heard that the Luo family had some connections in the court, so they managed to get most of the property.
