Regarding her pregnancy, Lu Xinyi genuinely didn’t know how to break the news to her parents. Several tis, the words were on the tip of her tongue, but upon looking at her parents, she swallowed them back down.
What could she say, "Mom and Dad, sothing happened, I’m pregnant"?
Or could she really tell them about the events that had occurred to her? She truly didn’t know how to start.
Even in the early stages of finding out she was pregnant, she had not planned to keep the baby. And not keeping it ant that she didn’t even want to tell her parents about her pregnancy at all.
"What? You knew about Xinyi’s pregnancy?"
"What? Xinyi, you’re really pregnant?" Mother Lu and Lu Hongi exclaid simultaneously, each addressing soone different. One was speaking to Xiao Xuyang, and the other to Lu Xinyi.
Fortunately, Xinyi was on the top floor where no one else was passing by, otherwise, the commotion would inevitably attract onlookers.
"What’s going on, co inside and talk. Standing at the doorway, what does this look like?" Father Lu’s face had already darkened.
How could it not darken? His daughter was still unmarried and studying, and all of a sudden he’s inford that she’s pregnant. His complexion couldn’t possibly look good.
After Father Lu spoke, Mother Lu and the others knew that discussing these matters at the doorway wasn’t appropriate. Otherwise, if soone overheard, it would spread throughout the neighborhood.
Entering the room, Mother Lu closed the door.
Father Lu sat on the sofa with a somber face, void of any smile. Lu Hongi, knowing better, sat beside her brother Father Lu, and at this point did not dare to speak.
"What on earth happened?" Father Lu asked, gazing at Xinyi with a firm tone.
Lu Xinyi, intimidated by her father’s questioning, involuntarily shivered.
Seeing this, Xiao Xuyang felt unbearably heartbroken. "Uncle."
"I’m asking her, not you," Father Lu said sternly, looking at Lu Xinyi.
"Dad, I..." Xinyi truly didn’t know how to explain everything to her father, mother, and aunt. She was never the articulate type.
Xiao Xuyang knew that Xinyi didn’t know how to speak up and besides, such a matter was difficult for a girl to broach. "Uncle, please calm down. What happened to Xinyi and I is not what you think. None of this is Xinyi’s fault."
"If it’s not her fault, then how co she ended up pregnant before marriage? She’s still a student," Father Lu was truly infuriated.
"Brother, calm down. Don’t be in a rush to scold Xinyi. You know what kind of child she is. She’s always been so well-behaved, how could she do sothing so outrageous? Surely, soone led her astray." As she said this, Lu Hongi glared fiercely at Xiao Xuyang.
Surely, her niece must have been deceived by this young man’s good looks. Just now, she herself was nearly fooled by that face.
Aunt Lu’s gaze and the aning behind her eyes left Xiao Xuyang speechless.
Father Lu picked up on Lu Hongi’s words, "Then you tell , what exactly happened?"
Originally, Aunt Lu was not present. Xiao Xuyang ca to the Lu Family not only to visit Xinyi’s parents but also planned to reveal the entire situation to Father Lu and Mother Lu. So now, Xiao Xuyang recounted the entire story from beginning to end to Father Lu, Mother Lu, and Aunt Lu.
After Xiao Xuyang finished speaking, Aunt Lu and Mother Lu both seed unable to process the information, finding such a situation too difficult to accept.
"Is everything he said true?" After hearing the full story from Xiao Xuyang, Father Lu’s brows furrowed even more deeply.
Lu Xinyi bit her lip, her eyes turning red. She held back her tears, preventing them from falling. With a soft "Hmm" of affirmation, she nodded her head. She dared not say too much, fearing that she wouldn’t be able to stop crying if she spoke.
The injustices and fears of the recent events were sothing she dared not speak of; there was nobody she could tell, so she had to bear it all alone.
"My gosh, how can girls nowadays be so wicked, scheming like that." Lu Hongi patted her chest, visibly shaken as she said, "Luckily for Xinyi, she t him. Oh, right, what’s your na again?" Lu Hongi suddenly rembered that she didn’t even know the young man’s na.
"Xiao Xuyang."
"Oh, Xiao Xuyang. Lucky it was Xiao Xuyang she t, as it would have been a disaster if she t those in their forties or fifties. Xinyi would have been reduced to tears." Lu Hongi’s train of thought often differed from that of Father Lu and Mother Lu.
And sure enough, just as the expressions of Father Lu and Mother Lu, who were already not looking great, started to worsen at the thought of that ’what if’ scenario.
"No, I must go to the school and discuss this with your teachers. We can’t just let this go." The more Father Lu thought about it, the angrier he beca. His daughter had been manipulated; if he didn’t take action, he felt he wouldn’t be able to sleep at night.
And Mother Lu, seeing her daughter in such a state, felt an imnse sense of heartache. "We must go see the teachers. We can’t let this be."
"Auntie, Uncle, please don’t get agitated. I definitely won’t let this matter slide. Whoever dared to sche against Xinyi will pay the price. However, for now, Xinyi is pregnant, and if this isn’t handled well and gets out, it could impact Xinyi’s reputation. So, I’m thinking, after confirming my relationship with Xinyi, we’ll deal with the person who hard her." Xiao Xuyang had considered many things well in advance.
His woman, no one was allowed to harm her.
After hearing Xiao Xuyang speak, Father Lu’s anger subsided a bit, and his impulsive mood eased. His view of Xiao Xuyang changed. This young man was really extraordinary, indeed the son of Xiao Muli and Situ Xin.
Of course, a woman’s reputation is imnsely important. If they made a scene at the school now, the events that occurred would definitely be leaked. Whoever was behind the plot against his daughter would surely get punished and expelled from school. Consequently, the story of his daughter being drugged would also spread outside.
The rumors that would circulate would be unbearable, and Father Lu just had to think a little to realize it.
"You’ve considered this thoroughly," Father Lu remarked.
"Uncle, leave Xinyi’s issue to ," Xiao Xuyang told Father Lu.
"Alright, you handle it." Father Lu already liked Xiao Xuyang quite a lot, and now, his fondness only grew.
"Since the child in our Xinyi’s belly is yours, what are your plans to handle this?" Aunt Lu always managed to grasp sothing completely different from others. To be honest, she wasn’t very optimistic about Xiao Xuyang.
Looks aren’t everything; they can’t fill your stomach.
