Capítulo 8: Chapter 8: Misunderstandings Grow_1
But how could Lu Jincheng stay calm at this time?
Just thinking about what happened today, he couldn't wait to leave his mark on Ji Yao, showing her who she really belonged to!
For Lu Jincheng, this was indeed normal, after all, it wasn't the first time he had done this with Ji Yao.
But when Ji Yao remembered what the doctor said to her two days ago and glanced down at her flat belly, she struggled to push Lu Jincheng away.
"Lu Jincheng, can't you calm down and stop acting crazy? Isn't your Ji Zimo waiting for you in the hospital?"
This time, Ji Yao tried to use the same trick, mentioning Ji Zimo to calm Lu Jincheng down, but to her surprise, the mention of Ji Zimo's name made him even more frenetic.
"You always bring her up! Are you jealous?"
Ji Yao was taken aback, not expecting Lu Jincheng to ask such a question.
She couldn't deny that she had a problem with it, but what did it have to do with Lu Jincheng?
She didn't need Lu Jincheng to change anything for her; after all, his true love was always Ji Zimo. Could things obtained through coercion really bring happiness?
Better to have nothing at all than that! Money was the most tangible thing!
Lu Jincheng didn't care about Ji Yao; he lowered his head and kissed her slender and white neck.
No matter what, he was determined to have Ji Yao today!
Ji Yao became increasingly panicked as Lu Jincheng's actions grew more intense.
She was pregnant now, how could she do such a thing?
Seeing the glass of water she had brought to clear her head on the table, Ji Yao came up with a plan.
She bit down hard on Lu Jincheng's forearm, using all her strength, hoping that he would come to his senses.
Lu Jincheng inhaled sharply and did let go of Ji Yao, grinding his teeth and said, "Ji Yao! Are you a dog?!"
Ji Yao didn't answer him. She quickly got up on the bed and retreated to the corner, warily watching Lu Jincheng.
"Lu Jincheng, I'm warning you again, don't come any closer! Otherwise, don't blame me for not being polite!"
Lu Jincheng's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, clenching and then unclenching his fists.
What did this mean? She had slept with him before, but now she wouldn't even let him touch her.
Wasn't she preserving herself for Qi Huai'an?
Lu Jincheng's eyes turned a bloody red, looking at Ji Yao as if she were prey.
Ji Yao knew Lu Jincheng wouldn't let her go so easily, and her gaze still fell on the glass of cold water, leaping to the table and splashing it fiercely onto Lu Jincheng's face.
Lu Jincheng, who was originally excited, felt thoroughly chilled by the water, and even his mood plummeted.
He looked at Ji Yao, his eyes showing a danger she had never seen before.
"Ji Yao, don't think I'll let you off so easily!"
Lu Jincheng uttered each word, unable to discern whether this was jealousy of not having her or something else.
But what else could he feel for her? It was probably just irritation that she was now fawning over Qi Huai'an.
Lu Jincheng snorted coldly, walked to the door, and closed it forcefully.
With a loud bang of the door, Ji Yao's room fell silent.
In the darkness, Ji Yao sat desolately in the corner of the bed, holding her knees and burying her head there.
Meanwhile, at the Lu Family mansion.
Ji Zimo was feeling anxious at heart, today's banquet had truly terrified her; as long as Ji Yao didn't leave, she feared that her secret would be exposed at any moment.
At this point, all she hoped for was to send Ji Yao away quickly, if possible, she never wanted to see that person again.
Seeing Ji Zimo sitting on the sofa, lost in thought about something, Lu's mother approached quietly and asked, "What's wrong, Zimo? Are you troubled by something?"
Ji Zimo slightly furrowed her brows and sighed.
"Mom, I'm just thinking about what happened at the banquet today."
Mistaking the subject for the confusion over whether Ji Yao or Ji Zimo was the real Mrs. Lu at the banquet, Lu's mother hastily reassured her, "Zimo, don't worry, I can soon drive that wretched Ji Yao away and you can marry into our family. Then you will be the only Mrs. Lu in this house, and no one will dare to question your identity."
Hearing this, Ji Zimo felt even more upset. She hadn't considered this point, and now her mood became even more irritable.
Forcing a smile, she said in a feigned gentle voice, "Mom, I know, I was just thinking that today my sister seemed to be getting quite close to Qi Er Shao."
Ji Zimo steered the conversation towards Ji Yao and Qi Er Shao, and Lu's mother immediately thought of today's events as well.
She had hardly suppressed her anger at Ji Yao for retorting and confronting her earlier, and now that she remembered it, her anger surged again.
"That wretched girl, I knew she wasn't proper, and it turns out she's been fooling around with someone else already, what a slut!"
After speaking, Lu's mother even spat on the ground fiercely.
Seeing Lu's mother react as she had wanted, a sense of satisfaction welled up inside Ji Zimo. She hesitated before saying, "Don't talk about her like that, Mom. Maybe my sister has her own difficulties. She even asked me for money before…"
As she spoke, Ji Zimo suddenly acted as if she had just realized something and quickly covered her mouth, then looked apologetically at Lu's mother.
"Mom, I shouldn't have said that…"
As soon as Lu's mother saw Ji Zimo's reaction, she immediately pictured Ji Yao asking Ji Zimo for money and her impression of Ji Yao grew even worse.
"There's nothing you shouldn't say. You should tell Mom everything, and I'll support you. Why should you give her money? It's not like our Lu Family has treated her poorly."
Ji Zimo covered her mouth, but inside she was snickering.
This was the effect she wanted.
However, outwardly, Ji Zimo still shook her head, looking as innocent as ever, "Let it be, Mom. My sister seems to be quite short on money, she's hinted at wanting money from me several times."
Lu's mother's eyes filled with disgust, and she snorted coldly. Although she didn't speak, she clearly disliked Ji Yao's actions deeply.
"Zimo, you're just too nice; you take whatever she says at face value. Why should you indulge her so much?"
"I think you've been more than generous and just to her!"
Lu's mother shook her head and sighed, then her gaze shifted to Ji Zimo's noticeably protruding belly.
"Let's not talk about that wretched girl anymore, it's bad luck. Aren't you due for a prenatal checkup soon? Why don't you have Jincheng accompany you?"
Lu's mother's gaze softened considerably as she looked at Ji Zimo's belly.
Ji Zimo nodded shyly.
Having Lu Jincheng accompany her would likely lead many to believe that the child was actually his.
Lu's mother, pleased with Ji Zimo's agreement, called Lu Jincheng to arrange for him to accompany Ji Zimo to her prenatal checkup.
After clarifying the time, Lu Jincheng hung up the phone.
But Lu's mother still didn't feel it was enough, fearing Ji Zimo might overthink the issue of her identity, she took it upon herself, in her status as Lu Jincheng's mother, to openly declare that Ji Zimo was indeed Mrs. Lu.
