Chapter 299 – She knew that Lu Shaoyan’s manipulations were inseparable from Zhouzhou in the novel growing up into a person with a twisted character (1)
You Jing had settled back on the sofa. Feeling hot, he irritably tugged on his tie. He paused when he heard her question, then he suddenly sat up straight. His full attention was put on the phone.
Back then, ng Jie wouldn’t give him the answer to this question no matter how he asked.
“Why?”
“Because I got pregnant.” ng Jie’s voice was soft and slow as if she was talking about sothing that had nothing to do with her. “But then, because of you, I miscarried.”
You Jing paled. He wanted to ask for details. He wanted to ask ng Jie when this happened and why didn’t she tell him back then. However, he couldn’t utter these words. He was violently trembling, and his eyes had reddened. Perhaps, it was because of the alcohol, perhaps it was so other reason. Who knows?
“You Jing, it’s impossible for to forgive you.” ng Jie pensively sighed and then ended the call.
Five years had passed, but that mory was still stuck in her heart like a thorn. She couldn’t forget that pool of blood and that sensation as she lost her child.
She had once loved You Jing, but that was in the past. They weren’t suitable for each other.
Everyone said that it was You Jing that blocked ng Jie, but the truth was that ng Jie was the one avoiding him.
Letting out this secret was good too.
ng Jie sighed in relief.
Qinhua’s Riverside was the accomplishnt of all the cast and crew. It mattered to everyone. She couldn’t let the cast and crew accompany her and be frad by You Jing for no reason.

“So public opinion was resolved just like that?” Ye Zhen looked at the report that Qin Zhiyin delivered in bafflent.
Qin Zhiyin nodded. “That’s right. The person who broke the news apologized. He claid that he was mistaken. He’s willing to accept the legal consequences from Lu Corporation’s investigation of the matter.”
Ye Zhen thought it over. She had a gut feeling that this matter had sothing to do with ng Jie. Afterall, You Jing, that lunatic, wouldn’t easily let off the opportunity to implicate anything involving ng Jie.
“Thank you for your hard work in keeping an eye on this matter. Oh right, it’s the end of the year. It’ll be Chinese New Year soon. Do you have any plans?”
Now that the discussion had shifted to small talk, Qin Zhiyin’s tense nerves relaxed. “What plans can I have? I’m just going back ho for Chinese New Years. What about you, Mrs. Lu?”
After getting along during the past period, Ye Zhen quite liked that Qin Zhiyin was ticulous when it ca to work and easygoing outside of work. She had a clear separation between public and private matters.
“Going to the Lu’s ancestral ho.”
After Zhouzhou’s first month birthday celebration, Old Master Lu had taken Butler Lu with him back to Lu’s ancestral ho. He hadn’t co back to take a look since then.
Occasionally, they would take Zhouzhou over there for a few days to visit Old Master Lu, but going back to the ancestral ho for Chinese New Year ant that the visit wouldn’t be just a few days long. They would have to co in contact with the Lu’s extended relatives and family friends.
Just by himself, Lu Shaoyan, Lu Beichuan’s little uncle, was enough for her to worry about. Adding Lin Zhan on top of him was enough to give Ye Zhen a headache.
And yet, these New Year greetings were unavoidable for the ti being.
Qin Zhiyin knew a little bit about the Lu’s family secrets. She intuitively gave Ye Zhen a sympathetic “good luck” look.
