Ye Bingtong was becoming anxious and couldn’t help but say, “Big brother, don’t believe her. Do you know what she normally says to me? She says she doesn’t like you at all, only that you have excellent conditions. Being with you makes her feel vain. But in reality, as soon as you get close to her, she feels disgusted. Big brother, think about it, over these years, hasn’t she barely even let you hold her hand a few times?”
“Bingtong!” This time it was Chen Yueyue who seemed to be going insane; she gritted her teeth and said, “How… how can you make up such nonsense!”
“It is you who is making things up, I’m only telling the truth!” Ye Bingtong said confidently, “Moreover, the bastard child in her belly, she conceived it in a one-night stand. She’s still infatuated with that man, trying to trap you into being her fallback while she’s still looking for him.”
“Big brother, you must not fall for her tricks!”
Ye Bingtong, now hating Chen Yueyue to death, did not hesitate to lay all the cards on the table.
The expressions on the faces of Ye Family’s parents had turned extremely ugly.
Today, they had truly experienced a tremendous shock.
Their daughter, who had been spoiled from a young age, they had never truly understood her.
And the woman they had viewed as their future daughter-in-law was also completely different from what they had imagined!
What sin had the Ye Family committed?
Why was it that nothing ever brought them peace of mind?
Both parents suddenly glanced at Ye Xiao, who was sitting aside, snacking on seeds, and felt a bit relieved.
At least.
They had found their biological daughter.
Xiaoxiao was wonderful.
It seemed as though the heavens had granted her the ability to foresee.
And they were lucky enough to hear the inner voice of Xiaoxiao.
It was as if the heavens could not stand it any longer and wanted them to see these people’s true faces sooner.
“Berlin, it’s not like that,” Chen Yueyue simply stopped defending herself, only looking at Ye Bolin with tearful eyes, her expression pitiful.
Now, she was betting everything on Ye Bolin’s deep love and trust in her.
“Berlin, what do you think?” Ye Mingcheng looked at Ye Bolin with a meaningful gaze.
Xiaoxiao’s inner voice came first, followed by these two revealing each other’s flaws.
Most of these matters were likely true.
The child in Chen Yueyue’s belly was probably not Berlin’s.
But over the years, Berlin had indeed harbored deep feelings for his fiancée. If Chen Yueyue’s tears softened his heart and he continued to be fooled by her…
Then, as his father, he would have to intervene.
Such a daughter-in-law, the Ye Family could not afford!
Ye Bolin’s expression was exceptionally calm, and he spoke slowly, “To continue with the wedding, of course, is possible.”
Chen Yueyue’s eyes suddenly lit up.
Ye Mingcheng frowned, about to say something.
Ye Bolin then said, “But I really don’t have the hobby of raising someone else’s child. How about this, before the wedding, let’s do an amniocentesis test. If it’s confirmed to be my child, the wedding will proceed as normal, but if not…”
Ye Bolin left his sentence meaningfully incomplete.
Ye Bingtong immediately felt relieved, she smiled and provocatively looked at Chen Yueyue, “So, Chen Yueyue, do you dare?”
Chen Yueyue caressed her belly with a pale face and bit her lower lip, “Berlin, I didn’t expect that because of a few words from others, you would doubt me to this extent! Do you know that there is a chance the child could be harmed by the checkup before it’s even born? What if something happens to the child, wouldn’t you regret it immensely!”
“Berlin, stop it, we’ve known each other for so many years. Don’t you know what kind of person I am? Isn’t it wonderful for us to get married and raise this child together, to build a beautiful family of three?”
Saying this, Chen Yueyue stepped forward and tried to take Ye Bolin’s hand.
All these years.
In front of Ye Bolin, she had always held herself with the poise of a goddess.
This was the first time she had approached Ye Bolin proactively.
If it had been before,
Ye Bolin would have been overjoyed.
But now, he only felt irony.
He didn’t understand.
All those years of wholehearted devotion and selfless dedication had not won him Chen Yueyue’s heart.
Yet a man whose identity was unknown to him needed just a one-night stand to make her fall deeply in love, to the extent that she was even willing to ingratiate herself with him to legitimize their illegitimate child.
If Chen Yueyue truly didn’t like him,
she had countless opportunities over the years to make it clear to him.
But she didn’t.
The signals she always gave him were that her shyness was just because they were not yet married, and that things would naturally be different after they wed.
He believed that, and even started feeling more and more that his Yueyue was pitiable and adorable.
But what was the result?
The Chen Yueyue who was so reserved in front of him could so easily have a one-night stand with a stranger.
Where did that leave him?!
When Chen Yueyue’s hand was about to touch his, Ye Bolin calmly moved his hand away.
“Berlin?” Chen Yueyue looked at Ye Bolin, somewhat surprised.
She didn’t understand.
Ye Bolin had been fawning over her like a loyal dog for so many years, so why had he suddenly changed?
Ye Bolin looked down with an emotionless face and said, “If you want to hold a wedding, you will need to prove the child’s paternity. If it turns out the child is mine, I will contribute ten billion to help the Chen family through the recent loan crisis as compensation. If the child is not mine, then there will naturally be no more affection between you and me, between the Ye Family and the Chen Family.”
Chen Yueyue’s face turned pale.
She wanted to marry Ye Bolin, not just because of the child, but also due to her family’s pressure.
The Chen family didn’t have a leader like Ye Bolin; her brother only knew how to indulge in pleasures, and to this day, the family business was still barely upheld by her father.
But her father was getting old, could not keep up with the times, and the Chen family was in an inevitable decline. They had laid out too many projects too quickly and borrowed too much money, resulting in a situation where they could not pay it back now.
When her father heard that she was pregnant, he was the happiest, urging her to marry into the Ye Family as soon as possible, and then, take the opportunity to get Ye Bolin to give the Chen family a helping hand.
Now,
Ye Bolin had brought this matter to the fore, turning it into a part of their transaction.
If the child was indeed his, she would definitely agree.
But the child wasn’t…
How could it withstand scrutiny!
Chen Yueyue, crying, said, “Berlin, I am a mother, and I would never want to see my child harmed in any way.”
Ye Bolin looked at her steadily and said softly, “For the sake of our years of affection, there is one last choice.”
What choice?
Chen Yueyue was somewhat startled.
Ye Bolin said calmly, “The Chen family will initiate the breakup. Whether you keep the child or abort it, I will not interfere. In the future, let’s just regard our families as ordinary business partners. This way, we can save face for each other. What do you think?”
Ye Bolin believed that by doing so, he had fulfilled his duty to the utmost.
By letting the Chen family call off the engagement, outsiders would only mock the man as impotent, which wouldn’t affect Chen Yueyue in any way.
The matter of Chen Yueyue’s pregnancy, aside from the two families, was unknown to anyone else. If she could come to terms with it herself and abort the child, she would still be the illustrious Miss Chen of the Chen family.
This, at least, would be his way of coming to terms with his many years of affectionate feelings.
Chen Yueyue shuddered but instinctively said, “How could that be possible?”
