Chapter 96: The child is not born yet, fighting for custody
"The baby in her belly is from our Ye family!"
Without waiting for Li Ying to reply, Grandma Ye strode over with a cold face, took Li Ying's hand, and said to the Lu couple, "The child in Li Ying's belly is my son Jingchi's."
Mr. and Mrs. Lu looked at each other and refused to believe it.
"Impossible! Li Ying left our Lu family only last September. Judging from the size of her belly, she should be about to give birth. So she must have become pregnant while she was at our Lu family."
Mr. Lu is usually honest and simple, and cannot speak in such eloquent words. Someone must have written a script for them and they memorized it.
Moreover, Lu Xingzhou had just been expelled from the army and was shot dead for making a mistake. The Lu family's parents didn't know about this? And they dared to come here and insist that the child in her belly was theirs.
Seeing Ye Wenchi following Grandma Ye into the living room, Li Ying almost understood that they were trying to put her on the fire. If she didn't go back to the Lu family, she would have to go back to the Ye family, otherwise the child in her belly would be a bastard.
Li Ying doesn't care much about reputation. Sometimes reputation is given by oneself. Whether it is good or bad depends entirely on one's own value and ability.
However, Ye Wenchi's intentions were sinister, which really made her uncomfortable.
"Li Ying's child is indeed not from your Lu family, but from our Ye family." Ye Wenchi was well-mannered and spoke slowly. He looked like a cultured and well-mannered man.
How could such a person do such a terrible thing?
"Impossible! The baby in her belly is at least seven or eight months old now. She must have been conceived in our Lu family. Yingying, Xingzhou is gone now, and we only have this one son. Please have pity on us old couple and come home with us!" Mother Lu knelt on the ground crying.
Li Ying found it funny.
"Uncle Lu, Aunt Lu, don't even mention that this child isn't Lu Xingzhou's. Even if it is, do you think I would let you take the child away?"
"Li Ying, if you conceived the child in the Lu family, then it must be the Lu family's." Lu's mother insisted that the child was the Lu family's.
"Yes, yes, it's our Lu family. Li Ying, could you please be kind and leave a descendant for our Lu family?"
Grandma Ye waved her hands irritably. "I think you two are honest and kind, and not some wicked villain. How could you be talking nonsense? The child in Li Ying's belly belongs to our Ye family!"
"Li Ying, are they telling the truth?" Father Lu pointed at Grandma Ye and the others and asked, "If that's the case, you're letting Xingzhou down!"
Ye Wenchi sneered: "You, Lu Xingzhou, have been raising other women and children outside without Li Ying's knowledge, and now you're turning the tables and accusing Li Ying of betraying her marriage. Don't you think that's ridiculous?"
"Rong Ning's child is not our Xingzhou's. We Xingzhou took her and her child in because we felt sorry for her. But Li Ying, you slept with another man behind Xingzhou's back. You are having an affair and are committing adultery." Mother Lu spoke sternly and righteously.
"You think Lu Xingzhou is dead and Rong Ning ran away, so there is no evidence, right?" Li Ying glanced at the couple with cold eyes.
She had stayed in the Lu family for three years and treated them as her closest relatives. She never expected that they would dare to come here to frame her and want to ruin her reputation.
"Li Ying, that's not what we meant. We just want to leave a descendant for Xingzhou! Please have pity on us!" Mother Lu kowtowed.
Blatant moral kidnapping!
Li Ying glanced at Ye Wenchi and curled her lips into a cold smile.
"Uncle Lu, Aunt Lu, do you know what mistake Lu Xingzhou made?"
The old couple looked at each other and shook their heads vigorously.
"Xingzhou was wrong, we were not wrong!"
"He's guilty of arms trafficking and stealing secrets, and his descendants will be blamed for his crimes. You came here begging me to go back with you, don't you want me to bear the punishment with you?"
The couple was speechless.
"Don't say the baby in my belly isn't Lu Xingzhou. If it really is, you should understand that the best outcome is for me to draw a clear line between myself and your family, rather than coming to me and forcing me to go back with you!"
The couple was speechless after being criticized by Li Ying. They had no idea that Li Ying could be so sharp-tongued.
Mother Lu jumped up and said, "Li Ying, we only wanted to let you go back because we felt sorry for you. We took care of you. How could you be so ungrateful?"
"You're causing trouble in my house, aren't you afraid I'll call the police and arrest you?" Li Ying's face turned cold. "The child in my belly is mine. No one else can have any ideas about it!"
Grandma Ye patted the back of Li Ying's hand soothingly and said, "You're right. No one should have any ideas about this child. However, Grandma still hopes that you will return to the Ye family. I will hire the best servants to take care of your diet and serve you during your confinement period."
You see, Ye Wenchi brought Grandma Ye here for a clear purpose, which was to let her go back to the Ye family.
"Yes, Li Ying, you are pregnant and your body is not in good condition. You should go back to the Ye family. We will take good care of you."
Ye Wenchi spoke with a smile on his face.
Li Ying looked at Ye Wenchi and asked, "Director Ye, Hua Qingqing's whereabouts are still unknown. Don't you care about her?"
Ye Wenchi adjusted his glasses. "Why wouldn't I care? But what can I do? I can only wait for news from the police. Grandma heard that you were about to give birth, and she insisted that I come and invite you back to the Ye family. As a grandson, it's only natural for me to be filial to the elderly."
Good, good, good!
Ye Wenchi is indeed good at speaking.
"Qingqing is missing. We are all very worried, but all we can do is wait. Yingying, come back to the Ye family with us. Our family will take care of you."
"Come back to the Lu family with us, we will take care of you!"
Li Ying held her forehead.
It's true that it's easier for the King of Hell than for the little devils to deal with. The old couple in the Lu family are so hateful.
"I heard someone was causing trouble here!"
Tong Danian walked into the yard with two police officers.
"Officer Tong, you're here at the right time. This couple is Lu Xingzhou's parents. Please take them away!" Li Ying said coldly.
Mother Lu panicked: "We are here to see my daughter-in-law!"
Tong Danian's face darkened. "Who is your daughter-in-law? Li Ying and Lu Xingzhou were never married. You are just making up a relationship and harassing others!"
Mr. and Mrs. Lu were terrified.
"Officer Tong, take them back and investigate thoroughly to see if they accepted money from someone to brazenly come here and cause trouble!"
Mr. and Mrs. Lu were even more frightened. They were trembling all over and couldn't speak.
"Don't worry, I will definitely interrogate them thoroughly! Take them away!"
Tong Danian took the Lu couple away and the scene became quiet.
This Li Ying is quite calm!
Ye Wenchi felt that he had underestimated Li Ying. She had more than just a pretty face. She also had the presence of mind to remain calm in the face of danger. This was truly impressive.
"Country people like to make things complicated. Even if Officer Tong takes the people away, it won't last long. They might come back to make trouble. You might as well come back with us to the Ye family." Ye Wenchi suggested.
Li Ying smiled and said, "Director Ye, I have a way to solve this problem, but I will not go back to the Ye family!"
