Chapter 290 The Old Clan Chief Is About to Make a Move
"Then investigate, bring the person back, and find out the truth."
The old patriarch's attitude was clear: since it's a pregnancy, then let's get it checked, as long as it's a child of the Chris family... According to Chris, the child in Bai Yuxin's belly is very likely his only child.
Given this, he should be even less likely to act rashly.
He will only let Bai Yuxin go if he is 100% certain that the child in Bai Yuxin's womb has no relation to the Chris family.
Otherwise, as long as the child is related to the Chris family, Bai Yuxin can only die within the Chris family before the child is born.
Paul the butler hesitated: "But... Young Master probably won't agree to what we do to Miss Bai. If we anger Young Master, who knows what she might do."
Ultimately, he was still somewhat wary of the young master.
A hint of hesitation appeared on the old patriarch's face. He was old and couldn't manage too many things. However, the family's bloodline absolutely could not be confused, nor could it be ruined in Chris's hands.
If he hadn't taken Chris for a checkup and discovered that he had indeed undergone tubal ligation, he would never have allowed Bai Yuxin to get pregnant. A woman like Bai Yuxin was not worthy of giving birth to a child of the Chris family.
The eldest son in a family must have pure and excellent blood, and his status and position must never be low.
If it weren't for her cousin Lu Jingxiao, the Chris family wouldn't have even looked at Bai Yuxin, given her family background.
He glared at Paul the butler and said irritably, "Now is the time to care about this. No matter what method we use, we must find out if the child in Bai Yuxin's belly is Chris's."
If so, he would have a better way to control Chris.
Paul, the steward, could only nod respectfully: "Yes, patriarch, I will find a way to make this happen."
Meanwhile, it's no longer safe for Bai Yuxin to stay in the hospital. The fact that the old clan chief was able to find this place means that Chris will soon find it as well.
Bai Yuxin looked at Lu Jingxiao with a guilty expression: "Brother, I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble."
Lu Jingxiao had already said what was on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed it back: "Let's leave here first."
Bai Yuxin didn't say a word, she could only silently follow behind them and quietly leave the hospital.
The group of people went straight back to the villa, except for Gu Beixiao. He had his own place in M country and did have some things to take care of, but they weren't company matters. Lu Jingxiao and Luo Zhiwei couldn't get involved, so they didn't interfere.
But Bai Yuxin is the one who's caused them so much worry?
"You can rest here for the next few days, and I'll send you back when the time is right."
Lu Jingxiao's words silenced Bai Yuxin. She didn't want to leave; she wanted to try again.
The child in her belly was the result of her and Chris's relationship, and she didn't want Chris to miss out on the child's existence.
Lu Jingxiao and Luo Zhiwei both noticed Bai Yuxin's hesitation. Luo Zhiwei opened her mouth as if to say something, but didn't know how to start.
But Lu Jingxiao, the older brother, didn't have so many concerns: "What do you mean by not saying anything? Are you planning to stay here?"
Bai Yuxin: "......"
That's what she thought, but she also knew it wasn't realistic.
“Brother, I thought about it last night. I still want Chris to know about the child’s existence so that he can decide whether the child stays or goes.”
It all depends on his choice.
If she had chosen to keep the child, perhaps their story would have turned out differently. If... then it would mean that she and Chris were truly not meant to be.
Lu Jingxiao didn't know what to say for a moment, so he suddenly asked, "What if Chris doesn't want this child? What if Chris doesn't like children?"
Bai Yuxin's tears streamed down her face: "Then I'll abort the child and never give Chris a chance again."
Luo Zhiwei was startled by these remarks. She really couldn't keep it from Bai Yuxin, but she was also somewhat troubled: "Yuxin, Chris came to see us yesterday, and I asked him the same question. Chris's attitude was very firm. He said it's not the time to have children yet, and he can live without children for the rest of his life, but..."
Chris's attitude yesterday didn't seem like he genuinely wanted to marry into the Iman family.
But she was also worried that if she gave Bai Yuxin hope, what if she was met with even greater disappointment?
Bai Yuxin's eyes lit up instantly, and she eagerly grabbed Luo Zhiwei's hand: "Sister Luo, are you serious? Chris really came?"
"No, stop dreaming. Go upstairs and rest." Lu Jingxiao didn't want to talk to Bai Yuxin anymore, and his expression was very serious: "If you keep messing with yourself, this child won't even need my help; you'll kill it."
Bai Yuxin was also startled. Her emotions had been fluctuating a lot lately, which was indeed not good for her pregnancy.
Luo Zhiwei thought to herself, it seems that Lu Jingxiao doesn't want Bai Yuxin to know everything for the time being.
Chris is in danger, and everything is uncertain. If Bai Yuxin finds out that Chris is still in danger, she might go to find him without thinking.
Bai Yuxin was scolded and went upstairs, but she kept looking back at Luo Zhiwei before finally asking, "Sister Luo, did Chris say why he doesn't want children for the time being?"
This is Tan En's child, why wouldn't she want it?
"Yuxin, don't overthink it. Chris doesn't know you're pregnant. I just asked a hypothetical question, and this is his answer. It doesn't mean he doesn't want the baby in your belly." Luo Zhiwei coaxed softly, "Be good, get some rest, okay? You need to rest and get some nutrition."
"I'll have someone buy some ingredients and cook you something delicious, okay?"
Bai Yuxin thought to herself, "It's good that it's not targeting the child. If it were targeting her baby, she might really not want Chris anymore."
"Okay, thank you, Sister Luo."
She obediently went upstairs, no longer thinking about these things.

Lu Jingxiao hugged Luo Zhiwei with a hint of melancholy and sighed helplessly, "Weiwei, I don't want Bai Yuxin to know too much for the time being."
“I know, so I didn’t say anything more once you brought it up.”
"That's not it. I didn't mean you talked too much, but... Bai Yuxin's emotions have been fluctuating too much lately. The doctor said it could cause problems, and I'm... a little worried."
After all, they were his own family. During those five years in the US, besides his brothers, the only other people he relied on were Bai Yuxin's family, his aunt and uncle.
They really take good care of themselves, so it's only right that he takes care of Bai Yuxin, his younger sister.
“I know, I know everything.” Luo Zhiwei gently comforted the man: “A Xiao, you have to believe in Yu Xin. She’s not that fragile, especially now that she’s a mother. She… will be very strong.”
Lu Jingxiao nodded, agreeing with Luo Zhiwei's statement: "Yes, we will."
He remembered another more serious matter: "Baby, go and get Yuxin's phone in a bit. I'll have someone come and check what's going on."
We've sent each other lots of messages, so why haven't I received a single one?
If it's not a Trojan virus, what else could it be?
Luo Zhiwei nodded: "Okay, I'll go get it. You have someone buy some ingredients so we can have some Chinese food. I'm not used to white food."
"I'll send someone over right now." Lu Jingxiao couldn't help but affectionately flick her nose. "Then I'll trouble you. I'll take care of some things while I'm at it."
With the baby around, he needs to be even more vigilant.
