Fools get lucky, but complete idiots don't! You deserve to be swindled out of everything!
Grandpa Chi was extremely disappointed. He shook his head and said, "You know they ate the wrong thing."
Chi Chuan paused, then suddenly remembered something.
He stared at Pei Yue in disbelief. "They got like this after drinking the watermelon juice that was prepared for Yinyin. She was the only one in the family who had watermelon juice!"
His eyes were bloodshot as he knelt on the ground in anguish, "You want to harm her?"
When her plans were suddenly disrupted and Chi Chuan pressed her for answers, Pei Yue's mind went blank, and she couldn't even come up with an excuse.
Seeing her pale face, Chi Chuan knew that everything was true!
They really want to harm Yinyin!
"Why? Haven't I been good enough to you? I gave you a house and a sports car, and I even paid for your living expenses and tuition! Grandpa didn't approve of us being together, and I even went on a hunger strike to force him to agree. Is this how you treat me!"
"No, that's not it. They forced me, they all forced me, Brother Chuan!"
Even now, they're still making excuses!
The younger sister, whom he had doted on since childhood, was held tightly in Yan Miao's arms, like a frightened little animal, clinging to her fiercely and refusing to let go. Chi Rang felt as if his heart was being torn apart.
No wonder Grandpa didn't like Pei Yue from the start; Chi Chuan was truly blind!
[The rutting Pei's mother and Pei Dahai, the furious Chi Chuan, and the pleading Pei Yue—it's more exciting than watching a play!]
Wait... is Pei Yue smiling? Shouldn't she be worried about tears behind bars at a time like this?
Yan Miao inadvertently caught a glimpse of Pei Yue's lips curling into a confident smile.
The Chi family members looked up when they heard the sound and saw it too.
[Damn! I almost forgot Pei Yue has a get-out-of-jail-free card!]
What kind of get-out-of-jail-free card?
Chi Yinyin desperately wanted to know, given how Pei Yue had treated her, what way was there to escape?
really--
Pei Yue gently wiped away her tears and, under everyone's gaze, carefully stood up, supporting herself on her lower back.
"Brother Chuan, I really had no choice. I was overjoyed when I found out I was pregnant last week! I happily shared the news with my mom, but I never expected them to threaten me with the baby... They said that if I didn't cooperate, they wouldn't let me and the baby in my belly go!"
"I was forced to do something foolish, please forgive me this time, for the sake of the child in my belly, do you want him to be born without a father?"
Chi Chuan was dumbfounded.
The entire Chi family was stunned.
So this is what they call a get-out-of-jail-free card!
[Sigh, that's true. It would be easier to explain if the child in Pei Yue's belly was fake or not Chi Chuan's, but the key is that the child is definitely Chi Chuan's! However, Pei Yue's pregnancy is a bit complicated...]
[This is where she's smarter than many supporting female characters in melodramatic dramas—she never leaves herself any future trouble! Except for this one time!]
[If I hadn't come to the Chi family, no one would have discovered her involvement! Even if things were exposed, all she had to do was mention her pregnancy, and everyone would just think that since she was already pregnant, her status as the second young mistress of the Chi family was practically guaranteed, so why would she bother harming Chi Yinyin?]
[That's why Pei Yue dared to do it! It was precisely because she was pregnant that she felt she had enough leverage, which is why she readily agreed to the plan. Because no matter what, she could use the child in her womb to escape punishment, whether legally or in Chi Chuan's mind, it was all the same.]
No wonder Ikegawa is such a fool; he's completely manipulated!
"They threatened you, couldn't you have told me? Why did you have to hurt people?"
"Brother Chuan, Grandpa hasn't agreed to let me into the family yet. I live alone outside, and they could harm me and the child at any time. I was so scared that I made a foolish mistake..."
"You can't let our children be born without a father!"
Pei Yue observed his expression and tentatively took his hand.
She could clearly sense that Chi Chuan's attitude was wavering, just as she had expected!
Chi Chuan was indeed wavering.
Mr. Chi and Mrs. Chi were tragically killed in an aftershock during an earthquake relief operation!
He was only six years old at the time, and the word "parents" was forever frozen at the age of six.
At least my older brother enjoyed the company of our parents, but what about him?
Growing up, he was always secretly mocked for not having parents, so Pei Yue's words struck a chord with him and touched his most vulnerable spot.
"snort!"
You mean it's my fault?
The old man's cold snort pulled Chi Chuan back from his hesitation.
He broke free from his restraints, knelt down, and kowtowed heavily. "Grandpa, Pei Yue did something wrong, but she was forced into it. Please forgive her this time!"
"I will keep a close eye on her from now on and will never let her harm anyone again!"
"What the hell? If it weren't for Yan Miao's quick thinking, your sister would have been murdered! And you're actually taking the murderer's side!"
Old Master Chi felt heartbroken.
He couldn't wake this person who was pretending to be asleep!
"But she's carrying my child, our Chi family's child. Please, for the sake of the child—"
"The Chi family doesn't need someone with such a vicious heart, and they won't acknowledge this child!"
"grandfather!"
[Grandpa is right! That's more like it. Stop with the whole "mother's status depends on her son" nonsense. With a mother like that, who knows what kind of child she'll raise? And judging by how dramatic this is, it's questionable whether Pei Yue can even keep the baby. After all, the Pei family is no pushover!]
