Chapter 698: 700, a slap woke her up (first update)

At this point, Chu Jin slowly turned her head, the corners of her lips forming a slightly wicked arc, as her delicate, peach-blossom eyes looked towards Luo Yu, bringing with them a sharply cold glint.

It was cold yet beguiling,

like a queen high above all.

"Not to say anything rude, but someone like you... isn’t even worthy of carrying shoes for our Mr. Mo, let alone climbing into his bed. Don’t be naive!"

The clear voice echoed in every corner of the hall.

Mo Zhixuan never expected Chu Jin to say these words, and even less did he expect that Chu Jin, despite her amnesia, would still trust him as always.

This further proved that his choice was not wrong.

In the imagination of everyone present, after hearing these words, Chu Jin should have immediately burst into tears and questioned Mo Zhixuan, asking if it was true.

Or perhaps, she would have fiercely slapped Mo Zhixuan or Luo Yu, and then enacted the dramatics of crying, creating a scene, and threatening suicide.

But Chu Jin, she exceeded everyone’s expectations.

She was neither angry nor crying. Without hesitation, she chose to trust Mo Zhixuan and even took the opportunity to mock Luo Yu.

Any woman in this situation would lose her rationality, except for her, who was exceptionally calm.

So calm it was unbelievable.

Chu Jin was no fool; since she had entrusted herself to Mo Zhixuan, she would trust him completely.

He had whitened her black hair with worry for her, which proved he was not the fickle type.

Moreover, Luo Yu was not as pretty as she was, nor did she have a better figure. Mr. Mo was not blind; what reason would he have to fancy her?

As soon as these words came out, everyone began to doubt the child in Luo Yu’s belly.

Compared to Chu Jin, Luo Yu was far from just a little bit worse.

Anyone given the choice between the two would choose Chu Jin over Luo Yu.

Luo Yu had not anticipated that Chu Jin would be so difficult to deal with. With incontrovertible evidence before her, she still defended Mo Zhixuan so steadfastly. This woman, in order to compete with her for the position of Ninth Madam, actually cast aside all shame! How despicable! No, she could not let the child in her belly be fatherless.

She couldn’t just hand over the position of Ninth Madam to someone else.

Right then, Mo Zhixuan took Chu Jin’s hand and stepped twice toward the front. He addressed the crowd below, "Relatives and friends, good evening. Let me introduce you to Chu Jin, the young miss of the Chu Family and also my wife, Mo Zhixuan’s wife. We have already been formally married in the secular world, and in three days, we will hold another wedding ceremony in the Superpower World. At that time, we hope everyone can grace the imperial palace with your presence."

With his words, a thunderous applause broke out from below.

Luo Yu stepped back unsteadily for several paces, her face pale.

How could Mo Zhixuan do this?

She was now carrying his child, yet Mo Zhixuan had betrayed her! He was actually going to marry Chu Jin!

This couldn’t be happening!

It shouldn’t happen.

The only person Mo Zhixuan should marry was her.

"Zhixuan, you must be mistaken. I am carrying your child. You can’t treat me like this. If you are to marry, it can only be me! I am your wife!" Luo Yu suddenly charged over, trying to push Chu Jin away.

Just then, a transparent barrier appeared in the air, rebounding Luo Yu out.

Luo Yu immediately vomited a mouthful of fresh blood.

Seeing this, the Mo family matriarch grew anxious—after all, Luo Yu’s belly contained the Mo family’s seed. How could Mo Zhixuan be so reckless in his actions? What if he had injured her stomach?

The Mo family matriarch was about to go out and help Luo Yu up, but Mo Feixue, standing by her side, grabbed her arm and whispered, "Auntie, we don’t even know who fathered the child in Luo Yu’s belly! Please, be calm. If you rush over now, what will Jin think?"

"Mo Feixue!" The Mo family matriarch frowned slightly and said coldly, "Let go of me. If something happens to the Mo family’s descendant, can you bear the responsibility?"

Jin was a good child; she would definitely understand.

The fact that Luo Yu was spitting out blood made the Mo family matriarch extremely nervous.

"I’m sorry, Auntie," said Mo Feixue, using her spiritual power to restrain the Mo family matriarch, "I can listen to you on any matter but this one. I cannot let Jin misunderstand Zhixuan."

At this moment, the Mo family matriarch found herself restrained by spiritual power, unable to speak or move. She could only watch helplessly as the injured lay before her!

The Mo family matriarch was very angry. In the past, she had seen Mo Feixue as a clear-headed individual, but now, she was behaving so foolishly.

What to do?

Her grandson mustn’t have anything wrong happen to him.

Luo Yu lay on the ground, but she quickly got up again and roared, "Mo Zhixuan, how could you do this! I was a pure and innocent woman, and even though you slept with me, that was forgivable. But now that I’m carrying your child, you actually have the audacity to deny it. Even tigers don’t devour their own offspring. Has your conscience been eaten by dogs?"

Luo Yu spoke heartbreakingly.

Each word was like a thorn, each sentence a tearful bleeding.

Below the stage, there was also a flurry of discussion. After all, Luo Yu’s pregnancy was a fact. If the child in Luo Yu’s belly truly belonged to Mo Zhixuan, then his actions were truly despicable!

No matter what, Luo Yu was a pregnant woman! And moreover, she was carrying his child!

How could he act this way?

Mo Zhixuan turned slightly and raised both hands, gently clapping three times.

Immediately, the President’s Guard appeared in the air. Mo Zhixuan cast a cold glance at Luo Yu and then spoke, "Bring up the father of the child in this woman’s belly."

He was like an emperor from ancient times, able to dominate the life and death of all beings at any moment.

Upon hearing Mo Zhixuan’s words, Luo Yu also grew a bit panicked.

Because...

She had had relations with other men.

And not just one.

"Yes."

Shortly afterward, the guard brought the one-eyed gardener forward. The gardener walked straight up to Luo Yu, his face full of guilt as he said, "Miss, I’m sorry, I am the father of the child. That person that night... it was me..."

Seeing this man, Luo Yu breathed a sigh of relief; she knew that the violation she had endured that night had not been revealed.

She had slept with ten old men! But she had never slept with this one-eyed gardener in front of her!

This must be a scapegoat provided by Mo Zhixuan.

"You ugly thing! Get away from me! What nonsense are you spouting?" Luo Yu kept retreating backwards, her face in utter disbelief. The child in her womb was clearly Mo Zhixuan’s!

How could it possibly be that of this disgusting person?

To gain Chu Jin’s trust, Mo Zhixuan would really do anything!

His heart is just too cruel!

How could he possibly be like this?

All of this must have been schemed by that wretched Chu Jin.

It must have been her.

That wretch, not only did she take away her position as the Miss of the Chu Family, but now she even dares to compete with her for the position of Lady Mo? How shameless could she be?

"Miss, just accept your fate. I know I’m not worthy of you, but I really am the father of this child. Rest assured, I will take good care of you and the child in your womb..." The one-eyed gardener cautiously stepped forward, his eyes filled with fervent emotion.

The Chief had already promised Luo Yu to him.

From now on, Luo Yu would be his, the one-eyed gardener’s wife.

He would be able to completely possess Luo Yu in the future.

"No! It’s not you! That night, I clearly drugged Mo Zhixuan! How could it be you? It’s not you! Get away from me!" Luo Yu directly leaned against the transparent barrier, kicking the one-eyed gardener with her foot to keep him from getting closer.

At this moment, Luo Yu was speaking without any filter.

There could be no mistake.

She had drugged the drink with her own hands, and she had watched Mo Zhixuan drink the water laced with the drug.

Drugged.

Upon catching that keyword, those who had sympathized with Luo Yu began to mock her one after another.

How despicable!

She actually used drugs.

Mo Zhixuan sneered coldly, "What a joke, do you think a mere hallucinogenic drug could control me? Someone like you, I don’t even want to glance at you once more for fear of being dirtied! One-eye, get her out of here quickly!"

"Yes, yes, yes." One-eye nodded rapidly, grabbing Luo Yu’s arm and dragging her out, hissing fiercely, "Let’s go, and stop making a fool of yourself here!"

"Ugly thing! Let go of me!" Luo Yu shoved the one-eyed gardener away and yelled loudly, "Mo Zhixuan, you have to take responsibility for me today! Don’t even think about abandoning me and the child in my belly."

Luo Yu was convinced that the child in her womb was Mo Zhixuan’s.

How could she willingly leave at such a time?

Why should she make things easy for Chu Jin?

All of this should rightfully belong to her!

"It seems that you won’t give up until you’re at your wit’s end!" Mo Zhixuan’s gaze turned coldly piercing, and his voice chilled to the bone, sending shivers down Luo Yu’s spine.

No sooner had Mo Zhixuan’s words fallen than a steel-armored little fly whizzed through the air. Buzzing around, the fly’s eyes suddenly glowed green, and it projected an image onto the wall of the banquet hall.

It was of two entwined bodies, engaged in the most primal of actions, ugly, sinful, and indecent...

It was clear to see that the people were Luo Yu and the one-eyed gardener standing before her.

The moment the image appeared, Mo Zhixuan quickly put his hand over Chu Jin’s eyes. He could bear watching such filth just once, but he couldn’t let Chu Jin’s eyes be sullied by it.

Her long eyelashes brushed against the palm of his hand.

A tickling sensation.

Chu Jin cooperated with his movement, standing there, unmoved.

A murmur ran through the crowd, as everyone came to realize that from beginning to end, this was all a trap set by Luo Yu.

Luo Yu shamelessly claimed the child of another man was Mo Zhixuan’s.

Such a person was truly disgusting.

The Mo family matriarch could hardly believe what she was seeing. As she watched the vile images on the screen, she couldn’t help but retch into her handkerchief.

How could this be?

How could the child in Luo Yu’s womb possibly not belong to the Mo family?

There must be some misunderstanding here.

Perhaps Mo Zhixuan had colluded with the gardener to avoid angering Chu Jin. With Mo Zhixuan’s abilities, creating an illusion was extremely easy.

The Mo family matriarch simply couldn’t accept the blow of the children in Luo Yu’s womb not being of the Mo family’s bloodline.

There must be some mistake.

There must be a mistake!

The Mo family matriarch stood up abruptly, determined to stop Mo Zhixuan and protect the bloodline of the Mo family.

This is outrageous!

Mo Zhixuan was simply too outrageous!

How could he treat his own flesh and blood like this?

"Zhixuan..." The Mo family matriarch spoke in a softened tone, about to step forward, but she was stopped by Mo Feixue.

"Aunt! With things as they are, can’t you see? This is all Luo Yu’s trap, and the child in her womb is not Zhixuan’s!" Mo Feixue was anxious about the Mo family matriarch’s logic.

Even if the child in Luo Yu’s womb were Mo Zhixuan’s, in front of Chu Jin, she should not act like this! How would that make Chu Jin feel? Chu Jin trusted Mo Zhixuan so much, but the Mo family matriarch, as a mother, did not trust her own son!

Honestly!

If Mo Feixue weren’t respecting her elder, she’d have slapped some sense into her!

Mo Feixue truly couldn’t understand how someone as astute as the Mo family matriarch could make such a basic mistake!

"Feixue, stop looking at me like that! Luo Yu is a pregnant woman! How can you agitate her like this?" the Mo family matriarch continued, "Tell me honestly, Auntie, are you involved in this affair too?"

With Mo Feixue so protective of Mo Zhixuan and Chu Jin, there must be something fishy going on!

The more the Mo family matriarch thought about it, the more she believed her intuition that this was all planned by Mo Zhixuan, Mo Feixue, and others.

"Mom, what are you talking about?" Mo Qingyi couldn’t hold back and stood up, "Big sister didn’t know in advance that Jin and brother were coming back, and besides, the child in Luo Yu’s belly is not my brother’s at all! How can you... how can you become more confused with age?"
