Chapter 280: From Now On, You Are the Mistress of the Lu Family
Madam Lu furrowed her brows, "Is that what she said?"
"Yes! She even jumped up and down on the spot. I feel if she were really pregnant, she wouldn't dare to jump like that, right?"
"No, not necessarily."
Madam Lu, with her vast life experience and cunning, said, "She might be trying to deceive you on purpose to let your guard down."
"Qiao Haidong told me about Qiao Yin's pregnancy and asked for two million as an information fee. If this isn't true, would he risk lying for the money?"
"And that cousin of Qiao Yin's doesn't seem to be a good person. She probably wants Qiao Yin to have a miscarriage so that she can replace her, that's why she leaked news of Qiao Yin's pregnancy to you, hoping to kill two birds with one stone!"
Lan Yuyi's eyebrows knitted together tightly, "So, you are saying Qiao Yin's pregnancy is real?"
"Whether it's true or not, I'll have someone check it out in the city hospital."
As Madam Lu spoke, she picked up her phone and made a call to one of her subordinates.
Half an hour later, she received a report from her underlings.
She looked at Lan Yuyi, her face grim, "My people have confirmed it, Qiao Yin is indeed pregnant. The attending physician admitted personally, Qiao Yin fainted because of signs of a miscarriage, not because of low blood sugar. The doctors didn't get the names mixed up, it was Qiao Yin who lied!"
Lan Yuyi, both enraged and panicked, said, "She actually lied to me! She is very manipulative! So, what do we do now? Aunt Yao, as you said, the child in my belly is the only child of the Lu Family. But Qiao Yin's child…"
Madam Lu took her hand, speaking calmly, "Don't be afraid, I keep my word. The child in Qiao Yin's belly, just get rid of it."
"Are you serious? Are you going to have Qiao Yin abort the baby? But, that's your grandchild, can you bear to do it?"
Madam Lu scoffed, "Humph, I don't acknowledge the child that Qiao Yin is carrying! My grandchild is only the one you are carrying."
"The child of a harlot is nothing but a bastard. Just who does Qiao Yin think she is to bear a child of the Lu Family?"
"Yuyi, you just take care of your own pregnancy, I'll handle the rest. By tomorrow, Qiao Yin's child will be gone."
Finally, Lan Yuyi's tightly strung heart began to relax.
She tightly squeezed back Madam Lu's hand and spoke in a coquettish tone, "I knew Aunt Yao was the most caring to me. I will be more careful. I fell into the trap this time, but moving forward, I will be more cautious."
Madam Lu smiled in relief and looked hopefully towards her belly, "You're already six months pregnant, just hold on for a little longer. Once the child is born, I'll have Mingzhen transfer part of the corporation's shares into your name. From that point on, you will be the lady of the Lu Family."
Though Lan Yuyi had received numerous gifts from Madam Lu worth millions, she had never been given a core interest of the Lu Family.
When she heard Madam Lu was going to give her corporation shares, her heart all but skipped a beat.
Wen Bilan, who was listening on the side, also got excited. Shares in Shengling Corporation were worth much more than any car or house! Even a small amount of shares would equal tens of billions!
The income from a full year's work at Lan's Hospital was just a tad over a billion and that had to be divided among the many members of the Lan Clan. Despite their facade, they simply couldn't compare to a powerful and wealthy family like the Lu Family!
Lan Yuyi spoke softly, "Aunt Yao, I didn't want to marry into the Lu Family for the money or shares."
"I just don't want people to label my child as illegitimate. I long for my child to live in the sunlight and hope they are happy."
"I am doing all of this for the sake of the child. If you want to give me shares, then forget it. I don't need the money, you can just give it to the child, not me."
