"I say, you should take this opportunity to divorce Ning Anmiao!"
Hearing this, "Ning Anmiao" suddenly spoke up, "Why?"
There was an obvious chill in her voice.
"Why?" Mother Lu turned her head and looked at "Ning Anmiao" contemptuously. "Because you've been married to Lu Yan for three years, but there's no sign of a child!"
"Vivian and Lu Yan had just one accident, and she got pregnant. Isn't this God's will for them?"
"Ning Anmiao" casually pursed her lips. "You're right. But what if the child in Miss Jiang's belly isn't from the Lu family? Is that also God's will?"
As soon as the words were out, the faces of Mother Lu and Jiang Qiwei changed.
Mother Lu wavered for a moment, while Jiang Qiwei's heart skipped a beat. She immediately burst into tears to clear herself. "Miaomiao, I know it's all my fault!"
"But you can't doubt me. The child in my belly is definitely Lu Yan's. I swear on my innocence!"
"Innocence?" "Ning Anmiao" raised her eyebrows, finding it even more ironic. "Miss Jiang, have you wiped out all traces of your previous marriage abroad?"
Marriage? What marriage?
The whole living room fell silent instantly.
The atmosphere was as cold as an ice cellar, with only the sound of their breathing.
Ning Anmiao was surprised, but seeing the look on Lu Yan's face that showed he was in control, she felt a little relieved.
This was definitely not just empty talk. There must be some evidence in Lu Yan's hands.
Mother Lu was stunned. She turned to look at Jiang Qiwei blankly. "Vivian, you..."
"You were married?"
Jiang Qiwei almost lost her balance. Her palms tightened suddenly, and she bit her lips tightly, staring at the calm - looking "Ning Anmiao" in front of her.
It's impossible, absolutely impossible!
She did have a short - lived marriage with a mixed - race man abroad. But that man was very promiscuous in the upper - class society. He even openly had an affair during the marriage and had a child with someone else.
She got divorced in a fit of anger and then returned to China.
Since that marriage only lasted for a few months and she wanted to create an image of a "single and beautiful designer", she kept it a secret. Not many people knew about it.
Before returning to China, she had erased all the evidence. No one could have investigated it!
Jiang Qiwei's mind was racing. After being certain of this, she calmed down a bit. Instead of refuting immediately, she stared straight at Ning Anmiao.
A few seconds later, tears welled up in her eyes.
"Miaomiao, I know you hate me, but how could you slander me?"
With tears in her eyes, she accused "Ning Anmiao" word by word. "For so many years, I've been working hard on my career abroad. When did I ever get married?"
Maybe Mother Lu trusted Jiang Qiwei more. She immediately came to her senses and said sternly, "Ning Anmiao, even if you don't want to divorce Lu Yan, you can't talk nonsense!"
"Ning Anmiao" sneered at the two of them.
"Mom, seeing how you're protecting Jiang Qiwei, people might think she's your daughter."
The sarcasm in "Ning Anmiao"'s words was too strong. Mother Lu's face turned pale and then red. She pointed at her with a trembling finger but couldn't say a word for a long time.
"Lu Yan, control your wife!" Mother Lu endured it for a long time before she didn't raise her hand to slap her. "Is this the upbringing of the wife you married into the family?"
"I think she's just a wild girl with no proper upbringing!"
"Who's the wild girl?" "Lu Yan" suddenly said in a cold voice. He walked towards Mother Lu step by step, his face so gloomy that it seemed to emit cold air.
The aura around him seemed to be murderous!
Mother Lu took two steps back in fear.
For the first time, she felt a cold and dangerous aura from Lu Yan, which made her a little afraid.
Even though she was afraid, she knew clearly that this was her own son. Summoning up her courage, she continued, "Lu Yan, are you going to bully your mother for an outsider?"
Reminded by her, Ning Anmiao managed to pull herself out of the rage. She took a few deep breaths to calm down.
She was Lu Yan now, not Ning Anmiao.
She couldn't be impulsive.
Seeing that "Lu Yan" no longer looked at her with that dangerous and cold look, Mother Lu let out a sigh of relief. The oppressive feeling just now was not as strong.
It seemed that the previous oppressive feeling was just an illusion.
"What have I done to deserve this..." Mother Lu began to wail, her voice trembling. "I've worked so hard to raise my son, but he bullies me for an outsider!"
"I know. You think I'm old. You think I interfere in your life. You think I've lived too long, don't you!"
As soon as Mother Lu started crying, "Lu Yan" was at a loss. His palms tightened involuntarily, and for a moment, he didn't know how to defend himself.
This old lady, when she couldn't win by being tough, started to play the soft - hearted card?
Lu Yan stood aside, coldly watching his mother, and sighed imperceptibly.
It was really a chaotic mess.
When did it become so difficult for him to have a peaceful life?
"Mom."
Amid Mother Lu's crying, "Ning Anmiao" spoke up. "I can understand your eagerness to have grandchildren. With Lu Yan's status, he does need an heir."
Mother Lu immediately stopped crying and looked at Ning Anmiao warily.
"Since you think so too, why don't you divorce Lu Yan quickly? Do you want Vivian to give birth to an illegitimate child for Lu Yan without a proper status?"
These words sounded so ironic to Lu Yan.
"Ning Anmiao" curled her lips, with a pale smile. "So what? Anyway, Lu Yan is also an illegitimate child with no proper status, isn't he?"
"You!"
Mother Lu almost spat out a mouthful of blood. She felt greatly humiliated and couldn't bear it anymore. She rushed over and was about to slap her.
"I'm going to teach you a lesson for your impertinent mouth today!"
Before her slap could land, "Ning Anmiao" quickly took a step back, dodging her hand. Her eyes were sharp and cold.
"Even if I don't say it, can you cover up the truth?"
"Can you cover up the fact that you were the mistress of the Lu family back then and Lu Yan is an illegitimate child of the Lu family?"
"You're just deceiving yourself."
After saying that, "Ning Anmiao" lowered her head and curled her lips self - deprecatingly.
While mocking Mother Lu, wasn't she also mocking her own life?
Ning Anmiao looked at Lu Yan like this and suddenly felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
She still remembered the seemingly calm look on Lu Yan's face when he told her about his past.
He said he didn't care, he didn't mind.
But she didn't believe it.
She clearly read the pain in Lu Yan's eyes.
He was in pain and lonely.
"Okay, stop talking."
"Lu Yan" walked over and stood in front of the two of them.
"The past is over. Let's deal with Miss Jiang's pregnancy first."
