Chapter 350 Are you pregnant or not?
"I don't want to stay here anymore. You all go about your business and don't worry about me." Just as she was about to walk around the maid, Zhang Ma suddenly grabbed her arm. The master said she couldn't leave.
"Madam, you haven't been back for several years. We've all missed you. You must have a meal here this time. You used to say that my cooking is delicious."
"Come back for dinner next time," she said.
"You're definitely lying to us. Who knows when you'll be back! The master won't be back for lunch, so we'll cook you a meal. You can eat before you leave!" the maid lied to her.
Seeing how enthusiastic the servants were, Lu Qingya couldn't refuse, so she could only stay for lunch. She then instructed them, "Don't tell Jiang Yubai."
“Okay, we won’t tell.” Several servants nodded in agreement.
She sat back down on the sofa, and the maid thoughtfully turned on the TV for her, brought her a cup of coffee, and the best fruit and snacks.
After staying there for about half an hour, a car drove into the garden. She craned her neck to look and recognized it at a glance, then frowned.
Jiang Yubai is back?
These aunties actually lied to me!
She angrily stood up from the sofa and walked towards the door, ready to leave. But as soon as she stepped outside, Jiang Yubai suddenly grabbed her wrist and asked,
"Since we're already here, where are we going next?"
"Where I go is none of your business. Let go." She tried to shake his hand off, but couldn't. Jiang Yubai looked at the long, bloody welt across her face and gently touched it.
"Don't move! Who hurt you?"
"It's none of your business. Go care about Qin Lu." She shook off his hand again and snorted coldly.
“I’ve cut ties with her and won’t get involved in her affairs anymore. I admit, I used to like Qin Lu, but I only realized after you left that I had fallen for you without even knowing it…”
Honey, please give me another chance. Look at Song Yanzhi, he already has two children, and we've been married for so many years and we don't even have one..."
Jiang Yubai held her hand tightly and took the opportunity to confess his feelings to her.
He's cutting ties with Qin Lu and won't see that woman again? Is it true? Hearing his words, Lu Qingya felt a little more reassured.
"Don't try to fool me with your sweet talk. Would you really abandon that woman?" she asked with a smile, arms crossed.
“If you don’t believe me, then stay here and see how I behave and act, okay? Or, you can come work at our law firm, and you can monitor me while you’re at work,” Jiang Yubai said to her earnestly.
Lu Qingya looked at the man and hesitated... He seemed quite sincere in his words.
"Okay, it's decided then. Come with me to the law firm this afternoon to complete the onboarding process and become my assistant, how about that?" He didn't have time to pursue his wife, but if she could come to the law firm with him, they would have more time together.
"Who wants to be your assistant? Do you expect me to work for you?" she scoffed.
"Then do you want to go to the finance department or the administration department? Either is fine," he said.
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Qingya said, "...I'll think about it and then decide."
"Okay." Jiang Yubai was delighted to see that she had relented; she should agree. Looking at the scratches on her face, he asked again, "Who hurt you?"
"I've already beaten up my brother's assistant. Don't worry about it anymore, I don't want to get involved in his business either." She was going to tell her best friend about her brother and Duan Xue's affair.
However, let's find out the truth first, just in case that woman is lying to us.
"Your brother's assistant actually dared to lay a hand on you?!" Jiang Yubai's face darkened instantly. Who gave this little assistant the audacity to be so bold?
Oh, right, I was drinking with my best friend the other day, and he said that Lu Qinghe was having an affair with his assistant, which I didn't believe at first.
It seems this is true. If Lu Qinghe hadn't slept with her, would the assistant have dared to lay a hand on the boss's sister?
He was furious that she dared to hurt his woman, no matter whose woman she was. He was determined to teach her a lesson!

In the afternoon, Duan Xue returned. Lu Qinghe saw her face, which was swollen like a steamed bun. He wanted to ignore it, but it was too conspicuous. His sister was really something.
Why did you hit so hard?
"Aren't you going to stand up for me? No matter what, I've been your woman for several years, haven't I? Even a one-night stand should be considered a hundred nights of kindness." On the living room sofa, Duan Xue hugged his arm and sobbed softly to him.
Lu Qinghe glanced in the direction of Nan Xia's bedroom, where she and her two children were. She said in a low voice, "I'll talk to her when she gets back. You go and cook."
"No, call her now." Duan Xue shook his arm pitifully.
Lu Qinghe looked at the woman with some helplessness, and could only stand up and return to his bedroom. He dialed his sister's number, and after ringing for a while, it was finally answered. He asked coldly:
"Why did you slap Duan Xue's face like that? You were too rough. If you do that again, I'll get angry."
Lu Qingya didn't go to the law firm in the afternoon. She was sitting on the sofa in her living room watching TV out of boredom when her older brother suddenly called. She thought he was calling to check on her and asked where she was.
Unexpectedly, the call was to blame me.
She couldn't help but laugh in disappointment. "Are you seeking justice for that woman?"
“I just think you’re too willful. Tune yourself. You’re not a child anymore. Don’t take advantage of your status and background to bully others,” Lu Qinghe said to his sister.
Lu Qingya's smile deepened. He was clearly protecting that woman. Could it be that they had really been lovers for several years?
"Duan Xue said she was your lover for four years and she's now pregnant with your child. Is that true?" she asked directly in a deep voice.
Lu Qinghe was stunned. That woman told her sister about this? And she's pregnant with his child? Impossible, she takes birth control pills every month without fail.
This is something I absolutely cannot admit; my sister will definitely tell Nanxia.
"How could you believe a stranger's words so easily? Duan Xue is deliberately trying to break me and Nan Xia up. She wants to marry into the Lu family. Don't be fooled by her!" he said angrily to his sister.
“Alright, let Duan Xue come to the hospital with me for a checkup. If she really isn’t pregnant, then I’ll believe you,” Lu Qingya said.
“…Okay, I’ll have her go with you for the check-up tomorrow.” Lu Qinghe was a little unsure, but she agreed anyway, just to avoid her sister suspecting that the woman really wasn’t pregnant.
After hanging up the phone, he strode outside. Seeing that Nan Xia hadn't come out yet, he went to the open kitchen and looked at his increasingly audacious assistant. His face darkened, and his eyes were filled with disgust for her.
Duan Xue felt uneasy under his gaze and asked in a low voice, "Why is Mr. Lu looking at me like that?"
"Slap...!" Lu Qinghe angrily raised his hand and slapped her across the face. "What did you say to my sister? You still have the nerve to ask me to stand up for you? Are you pregnant or not?"
