Mu Hehe directly exposed Lu Ze's deception, giving him no chance to deceive himself.
Lu Ze initially didn't intend to pay any attention to her, until he heard Mu Hehe slandering Yu Yao.
His face instantly darkened, his gaze sharpened, and it was as if the surrounding air had dropped several degrees.
Mu Hehe subconsciously stepped back and gripped the things in her pocket.
At this moment, Lu Ze seemed like a completely different person, overlapping with the high-ranking, stern-faced tycoon from his previous life.
Or rather, Lu Ze has never changed. The Lu Ze she usually sees is the one with Yu Yao, and that is the Lu Ze she truly faces outsiders.
Mu Hehe was terrified and timidly called out, "Uncle... Uncle..."
Lu Ze raised his eyes, his voice cold and distant, "Mu Hehe, where did you hear that from?"
Seeing Lu Ze's gloomy expression, Mu Hehe was secretly delighted, thinking that her instigation had worked, and said with even greater certainty:
"Uncle, this news has spread far and wide. People have seen Yu Yao being too close to other men, and the two of them even went to the woods near the windbreak forest together. Also, Uncle, I heard from Yun Qi that you were injured during a mission before. Although you seem to have recovered on the surface, there might be some aftereffects. It would be best to go to the hospital for a check-up."
Mu Hehe became more and more excited as she spoke, as if she could already see the day when Yu Yao would become a pariah.
“There’s no smoke without fire. Since such rumors have spread, why doesn’t Uncle go to the hospital for a checkup? My niece-in-law is only thinking of Uncle. If there really was a problem, she wouldn’t have raised an illegitimate child for another man.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Ze slammed the enamel mug onto the table and said in a deep voice, "Mu Hehe, who gave you the audacity to slander my lover and child here! And who told you that the child in Yu Yao's belly isn't mine?"
Mu Hehe was startled by Lu Ze. She shook her messy head and said indignantly, "Uncle, I'm doing this for your own good. I don't want you to be kept in the dark by Yu Yao and raise someone else's son."
Lu Ze said coldly, "I don't know where you heard these rumors from, but let me tell you, the child in Yu Yao's belly is my and her own flesh and blood. If I hear you slander her again, I will not let you off easily."
Mu Hehe felt a sudden surge of irritation rising from her heart, her brain feeling like it was about to explode.
She couldn't believe that Lu Ze would trust Yu Yao so much, and said stubbornly, "Don't you really have any doubts at all? You were seriously injured before, how could you get Yu Yao pregnant so easily?"
“This is a matter between my husband and me, Mu Hehe. You, a junior, are meddling too much.” After saying that, he suddenly relaxed his brow and walked behind Mu Hehe. “Ayao, why did you come here? I’ve already prepared the water.”
Yu Yao smiled and playfully scolded, "It's all your fault for making me wear too many clothes this morning. I'm sweating all over. Come in and change your clothes."
She looked at Mu Hehe behind Lu Ze.
"Mu Hehe, I haven't even settled accounts with you yet, but you've delivered yourself right to my doorstep."
Yu Yao looked at her with a half-smile, "Are you very proud of yourself, thinking you've caught me red-handed?"
Her nonchalant attitude stung Mu Hehe's heart.
She retorted defiantly, "Isn't that how it is? Do you dare swear to your uncle's face that the child in your belly is definitely his?"
Yu Yao looked at her and found it all laughable. "Mu Hehe, should I say you're too naive or too stupid? Who do you think you are? Do you think I'll swear an oath just because you ask me to?"
Mu Hehe sneered, thinking that Yu Yao was saying this on purpose because she felt guilty, and became even more aggressive: "Yu Yao, it sounds nice, but who knows whose child is in your belly? It's common knowledge that Uncle was injured before. You think you can fool Uncle and the Lu family just because you think Uncle loves you? Do you really think no one knows?"
"Mu Hehe, don't take yourself too seriously. You don't represent the Lu family." After saying that, Yu Yao took out a document from her military satchel. The four words "Medical Examination Report" were prominently displayed on it.
"Open your dog eyes and look carefully. This is the medical report we just received this morning. It clearly states that all of Lu Ze's physical indicators are healthy. What injury, what incompetence—it's all just rumors you made up. You actually believed them?"
"Impossible." Before Mu Hehe could even speak, she heard a male voice coming from the doorway.
Seeing that Yu Yao hadn't returned after leaving, Lu Yunqi wanted to take this opportunity to come and talk to her, but he didn't expect to hear what Yu Yao was saying as soon as he entered.
It was common knowledge within the family that Lu Ze was incompetent in his previous life; there was no way it could be false.
"You'll know whether it's true or not once you see it," Yu Yao slammed the medical report onto the dresser.
Lu Yunqi strode to the cabinet, picked up the medical examination report, and after reading it quickly, his face turned ashen.
How is this possible? How could my uncle get Yu Yao pregnant?
Mu Hehe asked him, "What exactly did the report say?"
Lu Yunqi was in a bad mood and angrily slapped the document on her chest, saying, "Why don't you take a look for yourself?"
Mu Hehe received the report and her gaze fell upon it.
The report was filled with detailed data and the doctor's conclusions, and every indicator showed that Lu Ze was in good health and capable of having children.
Looking at Yu Yao, who was being protected by Lu Ze, Lu Yunqi asked unwillingly, "Are you really carrying your uncle's child?"
Yu Yao shrugged. "Of course."
Upon hearing Yu Yao's affirmative answer, Mu Hehe's face turned deathly pale. She couldn't believe her eyes, and her breathing became rapid.
Lu Ze's inability to perform was a well-known secret within the Lu family before his rebirth, so why is it different after his rebirth? Could it be that she wasn't reborn, and everything was just her imagination, as Yu Yao said?
She had suffered greatly in prison, and her mental state was already unstable. She has managed to stay alive because of her belief that she is a reborn person and a born protagonist.
But the truth is that her so-called future may all be her imagination.
Mu Hehe couldn't accept it. Everything that happened in her past life and everything in this life were fighting in her mind. She tore at the report in her hand with an agitated expression: "Impossible, impossible."
Seeing her unusual expression, Lu Ze stood protectively in front of Yu Yao.
Yu Yao tugged at his sleeve and peeked out from behind him to look at Mu Hehe. "Lu Ze, be careful, she seems a little strange."
Lu Yunqi was already annoyed and hadn't noticed anything wrong when he heard Mu Hehe's voice. He said impatiently, "What's wrong with you? Can't you see how annoyed I am?"
Mu Hehe's eyes were unfocused, as if she could see everything from her past life through the two people in front of her. "Impossible, you should be living a life of widowhood, how could you be pregnant? How could you be pregnant..."
The intertwining of reality and scenes from her past life made it impossible for her to distinguish which was real and which was fake.
Mu Hehe shook her head, looked at Yu Yao, and muttered, "You should be living the life of a widow. How could you possibly be pregnant with Lu Ze's child? It's all fake."
"Fake!"
She suddenly yelled and ran frantically outside.
