Chapter 384 Pregnancy
After hearing Zhong Nian Yao's words, Lu Yichen's expression did not change at all, and he had no intention of saying anything. He looked like he wanted to be a bystander.
Zhong Nianyao shrugged and naturally said nothing.
No matter what she said today, it would be inappropriate for an occasion like this. Besides, she and Lu Yilei had no connection at all, and the only reason she was sitting here was because of Mr. Lu's invitation.
An invited guest should not comment on another invited guest, as this will only make him look like a laughing stock.
Although Zhong Nian Yao didn't say anything, Meng Rou was extremely nervous, fearing that Zhong Nian Yao would expose her past in front of so many people.
Lu Yilei also noticed Meng Rou's strange mood and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"It's okay." Meng Rou pulled up the corners of her mouth and tried to force a smile, "Maybe I'm a little nervous!"
Lu Yile didn't find it strange to hear Meng Rou's words.
My father held a high position before his retirement, so his aura was naturally not something that ordinary people could withstand. It was normal for Meng Rou to feel this way when she met her father for the first time.
Mr. Lu has completely different attitudes when facing Meng Rou and when facing Zhong Nian Yao.
When facing Zhong Nianyao, he was just like an ordinary old man, kind and gentle. It was obvious that he had already regarded Zhong Nianyao as his future daughter-in-law. But when facing Meng Rou, he switched almost instantly and immediately turned back into the head of the Lu family, with no concealment of his dominance.
Seeing Mr. Lu's attitude, Mrs. Lu felt relieved.
Although she didn't like her husband's special regard for Zhong Nian Yao, she had to admit that her husband's attitude towards Meng Rou did make her feel a lot more at ease.
The moment she saw Meng Rou, she disliked her. Not only because of her background, but also because she felt that Meng Rou's eyes were not right. However, the power of this family was in the hands of the old man. If the old man liked her, she could not stop him.
She was a little worried at first, but now that she saw that the old man didn't like Meng Rou, she was really relieved.
Meng Rou wasn't stupid; how could she not sense the difference in treatment from Mr. Lu? Furthermore, the difference was so obvious, it wasn't concealed at all.
However, even if she knew, she could only endure it.
Soon, the butler came over to announce that it was time to eat. The group stood up, walked to the dining table, and sat down one by one.
Logically speaking, Lu Yile brought his girlfriend back today, and this meal was to welcome Lu Yile's girlfriend. They were also half the protagonists, and should have sat closer to the old man's main seat.
However, Lu Yile and Meng Rou were finally arranged to sit at the very edge.
Lu Yilei was a little confused and a little angry. However, when he met his father's stern gaze, he swallowed all his dissatisfaction back.
Mrs. Lu looked at her youngest son, who was being neglected, and felt sorry for him. However, when she saw Meng Rou beside Lu Yilei, she realized that her youngest son was just being implicated.
For a moment, she felt even more disgusted and disgusted with Meng Rou.
Everyone was eating dinner quietly, and everything was fine. But a light retching sound broke the peace at the table.
Meng Rou stood up, said sorry, covered her mouth, and ran quickly towards the bathroom.
All the women present, except Zhong Nianyao, had given birth to children. They looked at the piece of fish in Meng Rou's bowl, and then looked at Meng Rou's behavior at the moment. What was there that they didn't understand?
After thinking it through, there was no joy on Mrs. Lu's face, but she became even gloomier.
Mr. Lu was no fool, so he saw it too. He put down his chopsticks and looked at Lu Yilei with a serious expression. "How long has it been?"
"ah?"
Lu Yilei was a little confused when his name was suddenly mentioned, but he quickly recovered and understood what Mr. Lu meant. He smiled contentedly, "It's been over a month. I went to the hospital for a checkup a few days ago, and the fetus is healthy."
After receiving Lu Yilei's confirmation, the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became a little strange. No one had a smile on their face, not even a word of congratulations.
No one noticed the flash of surprise in Zhong Nianyao's eyes after Lu Yilei said Meng Rou was pregnant. Of course, Lu Yichen was the exception. He had been paying attention to Zhong Nianyao and could naturally sense her mood changes at any time.
However, this kind of occasion was not suitable for detailed questioning, so he didn't say anything and just glanced at Zhong Nian Yao.
As if sensing Lu Yichen's gaze, Zhong Nianyao turned her head and gave him a sweet smile.
On the other side, as if unaware of the strange atmosphere, Lu Yilei continued, "Dad, Mom, I brought Meng Rou back this time just to tell you that we're planning to get married."
"no."
Before Mr. Lu could say anything, Mrs. Lu objected, "How long have you known each other? Are you so anxious to get married now? Marriage is such a serious matter, you can't treat it like a joke."
"Mom, this isn't a joke." Lu Yilei didn't expect to be opposed. "I've thought it through. I want to marry Xiaorou. I'm not young anymore, and Xiaorou is pregnant now. Isn't it natural for us to get married?"
Madam Lu tried hard to suppress her inner anger and said, "I have no objection to you two wanting to date. However, if it involves marriage, that's another matter. At the very least, before I understand what kind of girl Meng Rou is, I don't agree with your marriage."
Seeing Mrs. Lu's attitude, Lu Yilei was very discouraged. "Mom, why can't you just agree? Do you want your grandson to be born into an incomplete family?"
"How can it be incomplete?" Madam Lu looked up at Lu Yilei and said calmly, "Aren't you the father of the child, and isn't she the mother? Even if you're not married, aren't you together? If your relationship is really that good, then why are you so obsessed with this piece of paper?"
"Anyway, no matter what, I don't agree with you getting married. If you still recognize me as your mother, then don't mention marriage."
