In fueling the rumors, Yue Shuzhen and Shen Huan contributed the most. They had a wide circle of friends. One was a proud young lady who attracted a group of friends with similar backgrounds with her temperament, allowing the story of Ye Luo and Chen Zhong to break through the circle of Huada University and reach the ears of middle-class people who did not pay attention to newspapers. The other, with her cheerful and lively personality, became friends with students from many majors in the school, allowing the story to ferment again at Huada University.
When Jiang Wanqing returned to Huada University a couple of days later, everyone was already discussing the matter. Chen Zhong was also surrounded by a group of lackeys who hoped that by establishing a relationship with the Ye family, they could all rise to prominence.
In the classroom before the bell rang, Chen Zhong was already floating on air, his expression more ecstatic than if he had just climaxed.
"Brother Zhong, don't forget me when you become rich and powerful."
"You even managed to snag a top-tier guy like Ye Luo. You're really something else. I heard you two are getting married soon. When?"
"Yeah, don't hold the wedding secretly, all the brothers are going to support you."
"Brother Zhong, say something!"
Chen Zhong was pushed on the arm by someone, but he casually shook it off.
"Stop arguing. You'll all get a drink later. Whoever's on my side, I'll introduce them to women like Ye Luo."
"Hahaha... Zhong-ge is so kind!"
Those toad-like men started picking on their own.
Yue Shuzhen and Jiang Wanqing stood at the door, the former humming with her arms crossed.
"If there's no mirror, why can't he pee? Doesn't he know to take a piss and look at himself? This kind of man is both stupid and arrogant. If he didn't have that shiny, clean exterior, he'd be nothing but a pile of stinking dog shit."
"Pfft... Your description is spot on!" Jiang Wanqing gave her a thumbs up.
Ye Luo appeared behind them without them noticing, suddenly pushed them aside, rushed into the classroom, walked to Chen Zhong's desk, and slammed his hand heavily on the desk.
"shut your mouth!"
The others scattered, and Chen Zhong felt he had lost face, but he endured it and even grabbed her hand in front of so many people.
"Don't be angry. We were just joking. Let's turn rumors into jokes and laugh it off, okay?"
He's really got his plans figured out; this isn't a joke, he's clearly trying to make it a reality.
Jiang Wanqing and Yue Shuzhen exchanged a knowing glance and found a seat some distance away from them.
Throughout the class, Chen Zhong stayed close to Ye Luo, even though she was unwilling, he insisted on getting closer.
"If you don't get out of here, I'll kill you!" Ye Luo gritted his teeth.
He snorted, "Don't be so hostile towards me. Our relationship could be explained as dating, but if you avoid me like this, I can't guarantee what the rumors will say."
"You... ugh..."
Ye Luo smelled his odor, covered her mouth and vomited. The people at the tables in front and behind looked at them with prying eyes.
"This is a classroom, you two be careful, there are other people here."
Chen Zhong grabbed Ye Luo's hand and showed off to the dissatisfied classmates in front of him.
"You can want to, too. Are you unwanted?"
"You... shameless!" the female student cursed and turned away.
"vomit……"
Ye Luo felt waves of nausea and left the classroom before the lesson was even finished.
Jiang Wanqing had been watching her closely, and seeing her reaction, she suddenly thought of when she was first pregnant...
It can't be that fast!
"What's wrong?" Yue Shuzhen asked when she saw her staring at the door.
"It's nothing. There's not only good stuff going on lately, but also a big show."
"A big show?"
"Hmm, just wait and see." Jiang Wanqing suddenly turned to her and said, "Could you help me pass a message to Chen Zhong..."
Ye Luo missed a day of class because she wasn't feeling well. However, the teacher was used to her behavior. As long as she didn't affect the other students' normal studies, he let her be. Anyway, Professor Xue didn't care about her anymore.
After all that has happened, many people have realized that her status as a returned overseas student is utterly hollow, while Jiang Wanqing is like an evergreen tree in Professor Xue's eyes, making the difference in their abilities immediately apparent.
She felt unwell for several days in a row, and kept vomiting whatever she ate.
No one knows how her father found out, but one day he had someone forcibly bring her home, and he and Jiang Xiu stared intently at her.
"Dad, what are you doing?"
"I heard you've been vomiting a lot these past few days, so I specially arranged for a doctor to come to your house to treat you. You better behave yourself!"
Just for a medical checkup? Ye Luo was a little skeptical, but given the situation, she couldn't leave even if she wanted to, and could only obediently submit to being slaughtered.
The doctor combined Chinese and Western medicine, first using the four diagnostic methods of observation, listening, questioning, and palpation, and then taking the pulse.
Everything seemed normal until the doctor felt her pulse and suddenly opened his eyes wide and hissed.
"Doctor, how is she?" Jiang Xiu seemed even more anxious and concerned than Ye Yu.
"This...this woman is pregnant."
"What?!"
Ye Yu jumped up and down, pacing back and forth in the living room.
"I can't believe I'm really pregnant! No! This baby can't stay!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiu's expression changed, and she quickly gave the doctor a look before he spoke again.
"Oh, Comrade Ye, perhaps I haven't explained it clearly enough. Your daughter has a constitution that makes it difficult for her to conceive. If you don't keep this child, she may never be able to get pregnant again. Not only that, but miscarriage is also life-threatening. You must consider this carefully."
The doctor's words terrified Ye Luo so much that she almost collapsed to her knees and hugged Ye Yu's legs.
"Dad, I don't want to die... Please save me, I beg you to save me..."
"Shameless thing! You brought this upon yourself! Who else can you blame?"
"dad……"
One was crying her heart out, the other was cold and heartless, only Jiang Xiu stood calmly by, with only a hint of feigned heartache on her face.
She patted Ye Yu on the back at the right time: "Don't be angry. There's no other way now. I think Chen Zhong is not bad. Besides, everyone knows about Luo Luo's relationship with him. Why not let them be together? Firstly, for the sake of Luo Luo and the child, and secondly, to shut up the gossip outside. Think about it, after something like this, Luo Luo can't marry anyone else."
Her words struck Ye Yu like a hammer blow. Though the words were crude, the reasoning was sound. He frowned and glared at Ye Luo.
"You unfilial daughter! There's only one way now. You decide for yourself: will you obey or not?"
"Dad, I don't like Chen Zhong, I..."
"Hmm? You have no choice! You're pregnant with his child, you've had sex with him, do you think anyone else would want you?"
Originally, the plan was to marry her off to a family of similar standing to solidify the Ye family's position. However, this path is no longer feasible. Even if an ordinary man were to marry her, it would probably be for the Ye family's sake. Only Chen Zhong, at least, is from Huada University. After graduation, we can find him a position or two and gradually rise through the ranks, which would also be a source of support for him.
