Chapter 282 Returning to the provincial capital to get married, Mingzhu is heartbroken
"How could I be pregnant?" Shen Mingzhu was going crazy after looking at the medical report!
The new drama had just started filming, but she got pregnant at this time. Isn't this destroying her future?
Lu Jianmin was very happy. He hugged her and kissed her again and again: "That's great. I'm going to be a father."
"Jianmin, I still have to film..." Shen Mingzhu didn't want to have a baby at all.
Lu Jianmin's expression immediately changed: "Isn't it more important to get married and have children?"
"I..." Shen Mingzhu hesitated to speak.
She was afraid that if she didn’t have a child, Lu Jianmin would not marry her and cut off her resources. She was also afraid that having a child would delay her filming.
Look at Yu Miaomiao, who refused to have children in order to film a movie.
Let’s take a look at Su Tang.
Although equally talented, the pregnant Su Tang can only sell meal tickets in the art troupe!
"Mingzhu, let's get married!" Lu Jianmin smiled again and hugged Shen Mingzhu to coax her. "Other women get pregnant before marriage, and their in-laws will deduct the betrothal gift, but my family won't deduct it. I'll give you another 600 yuan."
"……good."
Shen Mingzhu lowered her eyes and pretended to agree happily.
Lu Jianmin immediately called home to announce the good news, happily preparing to become a father.
Shen Mingzhu felt very uncomfortable.
In the evening, Aunt Lu came with nutritional supplements: "Jianmin, Mingzhu, I came to see you."
"Aunt." Shen Mingzhu forced out a professional fake smile and politely stood up to take the things. "Aunt is spending money again."
"Oh, it's right. You're pregnant, so you need to supplement your nutrition." Aunt Lu stared at Shen Mingzhu's belly and smiled, "No need for you to remind me, sit down quickly."
Shen Mingzhu's smile froze on her face and she looked at Lu Jianmin.
It was so embarrassing to be pregnant before marriage, she didn't even dare to tell her family. Why was he shouting about it everywhere?
"My aunt is not an outsider." Lu Jianmin said confidently.
Shen Mingzhu: ………
"Mingzhu, don't be embarrassed. I'm an experienced person too." Aunt Lu smiled kindly.
Shen Mingzhu lowered her head and said nothing.
"Since you're pregnant, take a good rest. I've already turned down your acting offer..."
"What?"
Shen Mingzhu stood up in shock, her face turned pale, and even her heart was tightening.
"Aunt, you, you turned down all my acting offers?" Shen Mingzhu couldn't believe it and asked in a trembling voice with the last glimmer of hope.
Aunt Lu and Lu Jianmin looked at each other and smiled, "Yes."
Two concise and clear words, without even any extra punctuation!
Next, there was silence.
The small living room should have been lively with three people in it, but now it was so quiet that only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.
After getting angry, Shen Mingzhu decided to give in.
She looked at Aunt Lu pitifully: "Aunt, I want to continue filming. My belly isn't showing yet, so it won't affect my filming."
"No!" Aunt Lu's face darkened instantly and she refused sternly, "If you're pregnant, you should take good care of yourself and stop running around. Besides, it's not like our Lu family can't afford to support you."
"Aunt, this is not about money. I have my own dream..."
"You are about to become a mother, so you should put your family first. If you don't want to be a full-time mother, that's fine. I'll arrange a job for you in the provincial capital after you have a child. It's close to home, so you can work and take care of the child at the same time."
Aunt Lu became more and more stern as she spoke, and she acted like an elder and would not tolerate any refusal.
After all, Shen Mingzhu is young, how can she be her opponent?
Soon, I was speechless.
Seeing this, Lu Jianming put his arm around her shoulders and tried to smooth things over: "Mingzhu, Auntie is doing this for our own good. If you really want to film, you can wait until after you give birth. Third Sister-in-law Mu, isn't that right?"
"Well. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future." Aunt Lu immediately changed her tone.
How could Shen Mingzhu not hear the tacit understanding between the aunt and nephew?
She felt very uncomfortable and hated herself for not taking protective measures in advance, so she could only passively accept the Lu family's arrangements.
She can't give up this child!
Not only is it too dangerous, it also damages your reputation.
Moreover, she had only been in Shanghai for a short time and had not yet established herself in the entertainment industry. If she offended the Lu family, she would have a hard time.
"Mingzhu, smile. Don't let your aunt worry." Lu Jianmin coaxed with a smile.
Aunt Lu said, "I am too happy, that's why I am a little strict with you! Mingzhu, you are in an unstable mood because you just got pregnant, I understand. You will know in the future that I am doing this for your own good."
"Um."
Shen Mingzhu forced a smile.
The dream was shattered by the Lu family's kindness and force.
Who can guarantee whether it can be picked up again in the future?
When Su Tang was pregnant, was she as conflicted as she was?
"Okay, okay, take a few days off and then go back to the provincial capital to prepare for the wedding. When you get married, your aunt will give you a big red envelope."
Aunt Lu had achieved her goal, so she sat for a while and then left.
Lu Jianmin opened the nutritional supplement and took out the can of malted milk to show off: "Wow, this is precious!"
Then he hummed a little tune and went to help Shen Mingzhu make the malted milk.
The rich milky aroma used to be Shen Mingzhu's favorite drink. But now, she had no appetite at all. She felt listless and simply lay down to sleep.
Within two days, the train ticket back to the provincial capital was arranged.
Shen Mingzhu's budding career was strangled, and she and Lu Jianmin embarked on the journey back home.
Before leaving, she came to Yu Miaomiao's shop again.
Yu Miaomiao was nowhere to be seen, only the hired employees were busy.
She reluctantly went into the store to test it out: "Where's your boss?"
"The boss is busy building a factory and is not in the store. Do you want to purchase goods? Just leave a purchase order." The clerk skillfully took out the purchase order and waited for the order to be issued.
Shen Mingzhu shook her head in surprise and asked, "Build a factory? Where?"
"New Village. We will officially start production after the New Year, and you can go directly to the factory to purchase goods in the future." said the clerk.
Shen Mingzhu opened her eyes wide.
The Mu family is actually going to build a factory in Shanghai?
How successful a business must be to earn the capital to develop Shanghai?
In comparison, Lu Jianmin, who failed at the very start, seemed even more incompetent.
"Are you looking for a single item or a restock?" the clerk asked impatiently, "I'm busy!"
“Neither.”
Shen Mingzhu almost fled.
But he ran into Shen Yun head on.
"aunt……"
"Aren't you going home to get married? Why haven't you left yet?" Shen Yun frowned and looked at his niece.
"Aunt also knows?" Shen Mingzhu smiled bitterly and touched her belly subconsciously.
Shen Yun was well-mannered and didn't push her. He just nodded: "Yeah."
"Aunt, Miaomiao..."
"I went abroad to compete."
Before Shen Mingzhu could finish her question, Shen Yun said, "Jingyun is busy building the factory and has no time to spare to see you."
Shen Mingzhu was ashamed: "Aunt, that's not what I meant..."
"Once Su Tang's house is renovated, she will also come to Shanghai. In the future when you are in the provincial capital, you won't find them both an eyesore anymore." Shen Yun said.
Shen Mingzhu was struck by lightning: "Su Tang is coming to Shanghai too?"
"Of course. She will go to film after giving birth, which is convenient in Shanghai." Shen Yun said.
Shen Mingzhu's heart was broken.
The country bumpkin she used to look down upon is now settling in Shanghai, working as a boss and filming a movie.
And she, the proud daughter of a factory director, can only live her whole life in a small provincial capital?
Ahhh, she was unwilling!
