Chapter 114 Hush Money



Li Rao didn't answer, but instead said angrily, "Why did you just say I was your cousin?"

Wen Changfeng glanced at her, somewhat annoyed: "Everyone sitting inside is from the industry. Do you want them to know about our relationship?"

Now is definitely not the best time to expose ourselves!

But she couldn't accept that Wen Changfeng was embracing other women, so she questioned him again: "What about those two women beside you? Who are they?"

Wen Changfeng disliked being questioned, and upon hearing this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes at her: "It's just an act. You know how things work in the business world, why ask such a childish question?"

"But……"

Li Rao pursed her lips, about to retort, when she was impatiently interrupted: "Alright, why are you in such a hurry to find me? What's the matter?"

Upon hearing this, Li Rao finally remembered the important matter and forgot about what had just happened. She eagerly asked, "Brother Changfeng, I came here today to ask you when you plan to marry me?"

"Marry you?"

Wen Changfeng was so shocked that he was almost incoherent, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"When...when did I ever say I wanted to marry you?"

Li Rao's face darkened instantly: "What do you mean? I'm pregnant with your child now, aren't you going to give me an explanation?"

Wen Changfeng found it somewhat amusing: "How could I not have told you? Didn't I even accompany you to your prenatal checkup?"

"So you're willing to accept this child, then you should give him a complete family as soon as possible."

Li Rao stared intently at him, her heart growing increasingly uneasy.

After all, Wen Changfeng's words could affect her future life.

But Changfeng had never considered marrying her, so he stammered, "Well... I haven't thought about it yet. If you're in a hurry to get married, you can have this child aborted."

"Wen Changfeng!"

Li Rao never expected that Wen Changfeng, who was usually inseparable from her, would say such irresponsible things. She was so shocked that she couldn't help but tremble.

But Changfeng seemed indifferent, saying casually, "Do you have anything else to do? If not, I'll head back now."

Seeing Wen Changfeng's attitude towards her, Li Rao was so angry that she slammed the door and left.

After returning home, she could no longer control her emotional breakdown and went to Sun Lan to cry and confide in her.

Upon learning that Wen Changfeng had no intention of marrying Li Rao, Sun Lan immediately became agitated: "You scoundrel! This child is his, after all! How could he say something like 'you should have an abortion'? He's utterly shameless!"

Li Rao nodded through her tears, then her gaze hardened as she said, "I've come this far with so much effort, and I'm about to marry into the Wen family and become a superior person. I will absolutely not abort this child!"

"Well said."

Sun Lan chimed in, "Not only should this child not be hit, but he should also be used as a stepping stone for you to enter the Wen family."

But when this topic was brought up, Li Rao's face was full of worry: "But I heard that Changfeng doesn't want to marry me. What should I do?"

Sun Lan glared at her: "Silly child, it's his business if he doesn't want to marry you. As long as you want to marry into the Wen family, that's all that matters."

As she spoke, she touched Li Rao's belly and said meaningfully, "If everyone knew that you were pregnant with Wen Changfeng's child, would you still worry about the Wen family not giving you a proper status?"

Upon hearing this, Li Rao glanced at Sun Lan subconsciously, then her eyes widened suddenly: "But...but isn't this too risky?"

Sun Lan sneered: "He was the one who was unkind first, so don't blame us for not following the rules."

As they spoke, the mother and daughter exchanged a glance, their unspoken understanding unspoken.

The next morning, Li Rao took her prenatal checkup report and chat history with Wen Changfeng to a senior reporter.

After all, a picture is worth a thousand words. If you want to make a big fuss about this, you need to produce some real evidence.

After handing the man a large sum of money, he immediately said, "Miss Li, don't worry, I guarantee that within half an hour, your news will be on the front page of all major platforms!"

Hearing this, Li Rao was very satisfied and even began to fantasize about the Wen family coming to propose marriage.

However, sometimes the more you expect something, the more disappointed you become.

Before the news of her pregnancy could be released, it reached Wen Changfeng's ears that Li Rao had sold information to reporters.

Upon hearing the news, Wen Changfeng was startled: "What? Has that woman gone mad? Quick... quick, stop this news!"

The Wen family already had people specifically assigned to handle similar news, so the reporter was found by Wen Changfeng's men in less than half a day.

Wen Changfeng acted swiftly this time, snatching the so-called evidence and recording pen from the reporter and then giving him a considerable sum of hush money.

Li Rao had no idea what had happened. She was still dreaming of being the young mistress of the Wen family, leisurely sitting on an empty outdoor rooftop eating dessert.

When Wen Changfeng found her, she even thought the reporter had already leaked the news.

"Brother Changfeng, are you here to pick me up?"
