Chapter 526: Chapter 526: Nurturing the Fetus
“You needn’t worry about this,” Mrs. Lin said. “It’s all very simple and we’ll handle it.”
Lu Youzhen couldn’t help thinking that for ordinary people, these were sowhat troubleso matters, yet Mrs. Lin treated them as nothing.
Clearly, there was a huge gap between the wealthy and the ordinary people.
Mrs. Lin continued, “Although we can’t be certain yet that the child in your womb is Jingshen’s, since you claim it is, we’ll treat it as such for now. We’ll take good care of your pregnancy first, and worry about the rest after the child is born.”
“Jingshen, go to the study, to the safe, and bring out the keys to Shanglin Garden,” Mrs. Lin instructed.
Lin Jingshen moved his lips, instinctively wanting to object.
He certainly did not want to marry Lu Youzhen, a woman who was manipulative, unintelligent, and of low birth.
However, seeing the stern expressions on Lin Zhenghao and Mrs. Lin’s faces, he dared not speak.
He knew he had really ssed things up this ti.
He couldn’t even bear to look at his brother and sister-in-law.
Because he knew that they must be wearing a sneer right now, waiting to see him make a fool of himself.
With a heavy heart, Lin Jingshen went to the study and took out the keys to Shanglin Garden.
Mrs. Lin said, “You drive Miss Lu to Shanglin Garden, let her stay there. I will arrange for a nanny and a nutritionist to go there tomorrow to take care of Miss Lu.”
“Although it’s quite far along and a bit late, not as good as if we’d started caring for the pregnancy from the beginning,” Mrs. Lin deliberately said this to make Lu Youzhen regret.
It was as if Lu Youzhen had delayed in telling them.
Had Lu Youzhen inford them as soon as she discovered her pregnancy, they could have imdiately arranged for care, supporting and serving her through her pregnancy.
Lu Youzhen wouldn’t have had to sneak around, so exhausted.
She could have even comfortably gone through her pregnancy, unlike now.
But Mrs. Lin only said this to make Lu Youzhen feel that way.
Lu Youzhen, hearing Mrs. Lin’s words, wasn’t fooled.
Considering Mrs. Lin’s initial attitude towards her, how could she genuinely intend to care for her pregnancy?
Who was she kidding!
Lu Youzhen secretly rolled her eyes.
“Tomorrow, show the prenatal checkup report to the nutritionist so they can adjust your diet accordingly,” Mrs. Lin said.
Lu Youzhen was surprised that Mrs. Lin truly seed intent on taking good care of her pregnancy.
Being pregnant, she had also learned a lot herself.
There were things during pregnancy that seed highly nutritious and good for pregnant won but were actually harmful to both mother and child.
They could even cause complications for the pregnant woman and the fetus.
It was unexpected that Mrs. Lin would ask the nutritionist to adjust her diet based on the report—did she actually want to take good care of her pregnancy?
But then Lu Youzhen thought again, what if this was just a ploy to make her eat things that seed good but were actually bad for her, based on the prenatal report?
Lu Youzhen decided to be cautious and starting tomorrow, she would ask the nutritionist to lay out each al’s nu. She would verify with soone else to ensure it was safe for her to eat.
Nevertheless, staying in a private, spacious house would be sowhat comfortable.
Since getting pregnant, Lin Jingshen had given her so spending money.
She had stopped living at school and hadn’t looked for a roommate.
Instead, she rented a small one-bedroom apartnt for herself.
Although the apartnt was not big and the building sowhat old, the location was acceptable.
Lu Youzhen was quite happy living there.
Her classmates were reluctant to rent places outside, citing the high rent in the Imperial Capital.
They even found the yearly cost of the school dormitory expensive.
But she already had a place of her own outside.
Yet the na “Shanglin Garden” sounded upscale, quite different from the place she rented.
Indeed, approaching the Lin Family was the right choice.
Lu Youzhen thought happily.
Mrs. Lin pondered for a mont, worried that Lu Youzhen might recklessly talk outside tonight. To keep an eye on Lu Youzhen, she said, “It’s too late now. Sister-in-law Liu, please go and tidy up the guest room.”
“You can stay here tonight and tomorrow I’ll have the driver take you and Jingshen to Shanglin Garden,” Mrs. Lin added.
Lu Youzhen smiled and said, “No need to bother with the guest room, I can just stay in Jingshen’s bedroom.”
Mrs. Lin was choked up by the comnt, thinking how Lu Youzhen really didn’t consider herself an outsider.
The more she saw of Lu Youzhen’s behavior, the more she disdained her.
But for now, she held her tongue.
Then she said, “Fine, you are pregnant, so don’t stress yourself. Go back to the room with Jingshen and rest early.”
Tonight, she would endure it temporarily. Whatever needed to be said, she would discuss it with the family after making sure Lu Youzhen was securely watched.
Mrs. Lin thought to herself.
Lin Jingshen, with a sullen face and suppressing his disgust, could only go back to the room with Lu Youzhen for now.
As Lu Youzhen turned around, she clung to Lin Jingshen’s arm. The disgusted Lin Jingshen bristled and yanked his arm away, “Stay away from !”
Previously, although he had ignored Lu Youzhen and was unaware of Lu Youzhen’s pregnancy,
he had given Lu Youzhen so money each month to shut her up and to keep her away from Jiang Zilin.
This bit of money ant nothing to him.
Indeed, it was because he was generous with these won that he could keep them quiet and not gossiping outside.
He had remained untroubled until now.
But he didn’t expect Lu Youzhen to be so greedy, wanting even more, even aspiring to beco Mrs. Lin.
What a joke!
Now looking at Lu Youzhen, how could Lin Jingshen feel even a shred of affection?
All he felt was disgust.
Lu Youzhen, being treated this way by Lin Jingshen, was fuming.
After he pulled away his hand, she deliberately staggered a few steps backward, clutching her stomach, “Ouch! Ouch!”
Seeing Lu Youzhen’s act, the Lin Family were further disgusted.
They thought to themselves that they couldn’t possibly allow such a person into their ho!
Otherwise, they’d be disgusted by her every day!
“Jingshen!” Mrs. Lin called out to Lin Jingshen, sounding both like a reminder and a warning, “Help Miss Lu back to the room properly!”
Grinding his teeth, Lin Jingshen reluctantly supported Lu Youzhen up the stairs.
Back in the bedroom, Lin Jingshen imdiately let go of Lu Youzhen, shaking his hands in disgust.
“Lu Youzhen, you really have so nerve!” Lin Jingshen said angrily, “I initially thought you were just a naive girl, but it turns out you’ve been harboring all sorts of sches!”
“Enough of that, neither of us is any good,” Lu Youzhen retorted, no longer pretending or willing to let Lin Jingshen rebuke her without talking back.
Considering the Lin Family’s attitude, they had clearly turned against her already.
It was purely out of fear of her threats that they had compromised.
Lin Jingshen had never shown her a kindness from the beginning.
Lu Youzhen knew that even if she pretended to be aggrieved now, it wouldn’t matter.
So why bother deaning herself?
“You initially thought I was just a naïve girl, easy to deceive, thinking you could take advantage of and not be accountable,” Lu Youzhen said coldly.
