Chapter 65: Xie Wantang is really pregnant

Lu Wentao and his wife came down from upstairs, Lu Rourou and Liu Shiyue also came running out of the kitchen in a panic, and everyone looked at Lu Yanze's bruised face.

Madam Lu felt sorry for her son, she was the first to come to her senses: 'Yanze, what happened? Is Yueyue's breakfast not to your taste?'

Liu Shiyue, who was also shot while standing: '……'

Formerly, Xie Wantang, who always tried to please everyone, Liu Shiyue felt sympathy and could empathize.

Because in the Lu family, her days were no better than Xie Wantang's; perhaps she was even worse off than Xie Wantang.

So she was like a mud Buddha crossing the river—she could barely protect herself; in this family, as someone without any say, she naturally couldn't say anything to help Xie Wantang.

Now Xie Wantang knows how to fight back; after no longer trying to please anyone in this family, Liu Shiyue feels both envy and admiration for her.

She doesn't know if she will ever have that day, or have the confidence to stop pleasing others.

"Mom, what does this have to do with big sister-in-law?" Lu Rourou couldn't help speaking up for Liu Shiyue.

Madam Lu gave Lu Rourou a white-eyed look.

"Mom, Rourou, Xie Wantang is really pregnant; you two, from now on don't provoke her." Lu Yanze suddenly said, his voice cold and dark, like Satan crawling out of hell.

Mother and daughter: '……'

Lu Rourou's face turned pale.

Does Xie Wantang really have a baby in her belly?

She's truly pregnant, yet she insists it's a fake pregnancy?

What does this Xie Wantang want to do?

Lu Yanze calmed down, guessing that Xie Wantang was unwilling to admit to them that she was really pregnant—what exactly did she want to do?

Nothing more than wanting to divorce Lu Yanshen, who 'betrayed' her?

Or does she just want to protect this child?

Has she discovered something?

"Yanze, how can you be so sure? If she said that before, what did she want to do?" Madam Lu grabbed her eldest son's hand; the fact that Xie Wantang's pregnancy was real made her unable to feel any happiness.

"The evidence is in the bag; I'm going to work now, Dad, want to come along?" Lu Yanze lifted his gaze to look at Lu Wentao.

"Sure."

Lu Wentao didn't know what they were up to—it's just Xie Wantang being pregnant, why are they all acting like they've gone mad?

What's there to fuss over?

"Then I'll wait for you in the car."

"Hmm."

After getting in the car, Lu Yanze picked up his phone and sent a message.

On the other side, Xia Meng received an anonymous message: 'Has Lu Yanshen promised when he'll marry you?'

Xia Meng replied: 'He said he'd wait until after the divorce.'

"Xie Wantang is really pregnant; waiting for them to divorce, do you have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month?"

"I'll think of a way."

"Be quick, you don't have much time."

"Yes."

After hanging up, Lu Yanze closed his eyes, leaned his body against the seat, and his fingers tapped the armrest intermittently.

Lu Wentao got in the car, the driver started the vehicle, and they headed toward the company.

"Yanze, you're supposed to do great things; you two brothers, Dad is on your side—don't stare at Xie Wantang like Mom and your sister do; she's just a woman, whether she's really pregnant or faking it, at most she'll swindle a little money from your grandparents, you know?"

"Give her a few billion to spend, it won't affect you, understand?"

"I know, Dad." Lu Yanze smiled.

What Lu Yanze cared about was never how much money Xie Wantang could swindle from the Lu family, but the things she said—he actually got led around by them.

Because he believed her, and he also felt she was sincere.

As it turned out, she was just a little liar.

Lu Wentao nodded in relief: "Also, if you have time, persuade Yanshen—his wife is pregnant, so stop thinking about that woman Xia Meng, or else you'll incur heavenly punishment."

"... Hmm."

Arriving at the company, Lu Yanze held a meeting; the topic was changing the partner for the ecological project, and he directly kicked the Xie family out of it.

Father Xie, although at the lowest tier of the aristocracy in Sijiucheng, had at least passed the threshold of high society.

He also had his own connections and channels for gathering information; moreover, Lu Yanze openly and directly kicked the Xie family out, without hiding it.

So Father Xie got the news and immediately called Lu Yanshen.

When Lu Yanshen received the call, he was shaving in the hotel bathroom, while Xie Wantang was chatting with Xu Yanqiu in the room.

Last night, after Lu Yanshen took her away, Xu Yanqiu felt embarrassed to keep messaging her, so she waited for her to send a message.

After waiting a night plus a morning, Xie Wantang still hadn't sent her a message; Xu Yanqiu couldn't hold back and called her directly, and Xie Wantang went into the room to start cooking phone soup with her best friend.

"Dad——" Lu Yanshen pressed the speakerphone and called out to Father Xie.

"Yanshen, the municipal ecological environmental protection project—your eldest brother kicked me out, I heard he's going to re-tender it." Father Xie said, both tactful and humble.

"Sorry, Dad, I was already kicked out of that project by my brother." Lu Yanshen said calmly.

"Huh? Why?" Father Xie didn't understand.

Then, thinking of something, he asked himself: 'Is it because Wantang wants to divorce you, affecting you?'

"A little, but not..." altogether.

As a result, before Lu Yanshen could finish speaking, Father Xie hung up the phone.

Afterward, Xie Wantang's phone kept ringing; while she chatted with Xu Yanqiu, it constantly showed a 'beep-beep' notification of an incoming call.

Xu Yanqiu hadn't slept well the previous night; knowing Xie Wantang was fine, she finally felt relieved: "Alright, sister, I'm going to catch up on sleep—I may not be a match for Lu Yanshen's dog of a man, but you're now evenly matched with him; if we should be strong, we must be strong, understand?"

Hmm, I understand.

After hanging up, Xie Wantang saw Xie Father's incoming call; she really didn't want to answer, but Xie Father wouldn't let up—in just a short while, he had called four or five times, all missed.

He seemed intent on not giving up if she didn't answer.

Just answer, to avoid trouble.

"What's up, General Manager Xie?" Xie Wantang said on speakerphone.

"Xie Wantang, look at the mess you've made lately—you're causing a divorce, and your husband and I have both been kicked out by Lu Yanze; he won't even let us hang out anymore." Father complained.

He didn't understand why Xie Wantang, who was fine, had to stir up a divorce drama.

Which man doesn't cheat?

With Lu Yanshen's conditions, it's no problem to keep one Xia Meng outside, let alone several Li Meng, Xu Meng, and Su Meng.

She just couldn't be a bit smarter and stay steady in the position of Mrs. Lu.

As for men's philandering outside, as long as those women don't bring illegitimate children to her door, she can completely pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Aristocratic wives of wealthy families aren't ordinary housewives; enjoying a luxurious life naturally comes with a price.

What's there not to understand?

"Lu Yanze won't bring you guys to play—go find Lu Yanze yourself, why come to me?"

"It's fine, I'm hanging up; I still have things to do here."

After saying that, Xie Wantang hung up the phone, and this time she didn't forget to add Xie Father to the blacklist.

She really didn't want to answer calls like this anymore.

Xie Wantang, as if she had foresight, hung up on Xie Father and immediately received a WeChat message from Xie Ningmeng: "Mom's arrived in Sijiucheng; do you have time to have dinner together?"

The attached picture was of the Sijiucheng airport.

Xie Wantang instantly replied: "Of course, Mom."

"All right, see you tonight."

"Hmm."
