Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife-Chapter 634 Falling Deeper (1)

The news of Ye Mingyu's affair and pregnancy spread like wildfire. Just as Su Xiaofei expected, Han Yize's parents stepped forward and took Ye Mingyu under their care, effectively protecting her from being harmed by their son.

Ye Mingyu had been ecstatic to find out that she would become the future Madam Han once she and Han Yize got married. She didn't care if she was to give birth to a child if it would mean that she would be securing her future and get rid of Huo Yunxi once and for all.

Han Yize's parents took her in and allowed her to live with them, while forcing their son to do the preparations for their wedding. Ye Mingyu hadn't seen him for days now, but she wasn't bothered by it. Soon, Han Yize wouldn't have any choice but to come to her and acknowledge that he could only be with her from now on.

"Don't worry about Huo Yuxin, Mingyu. I'm sure she wouldn't dare become his mistress now that you are pregnant. You only need to focus on your pregnancy and leave the rest to us." Han Yize's mother once said, much to Ye Mingyu's secret delight. She was now aware that Han Yize's parents disliked Huo Yunxi for their son and did everything they could to separate them in the past.

She was finally living the life she always wanted. Servants followed her around, always at her disposal and she didn't need to worry about being harassed by the loan sharks her deceased mother was indebted to. There was no way they would knock on the Han family's door and cause trouble.

"Is this the kind of life Su Xiaofei has been enjoying all this while?" She thought as she took a sip from her warm drink, enjoying the coolness of the afternoon breeze in her private quarters.

The Han family was surely loaded with money, because wherever she looked, staggering wealth was staring back at her. It couldn't be compared to what she used to have while she was only Han Yize's lover. Han Yize had kept their affair at bare minimum, allowing her to live alone in an apartment where their meetings were limited.

She checked her phone and grimaced seeing how everyone was criticizing her for being shameless and using a child to trap a man in marriage. Ye Mingyu had no idea who leaked her condition to the media, but it only put pressure on Han Yize to leave Huo Yunxi and marry her instead.

However, she had no idea that this sudden turn of events wouldn't be favorable for her in the end. Su Xiaofei knew that Han Yize's parents were strictly following tradition and she had no doubt that a wedding would be held soon to protect their family name.

As for Ye Mingyu, she might be able to enjoy the perks of being Madam Han, but with her mother-in-law hovering over each of her actions, she would soon be driven mad by it.

Ye Mingyu had just entered the kitchen when she found her soon to be mother-in-law arriving with a lot of shopping bags with her. The old woman placed all of it on top of the table and beckoned her to come closer. Ye Mingyu plastered a wide smile on her face as she looked curiously at what the older woman had brought home with her.

"Mother, you surely bought a lot today. You should have told me you were going out so I can accompany you." She said sweetly, making sure to leave a good impression on the older woman.

"What are you saying, Mingyu? It's not safe for you to go out now, not when everyone is still talking about your sudden pregnancy." The older woman said. She sounded like she was chastising Ye Mingyu, but it was obvious that she was spoiling her at the same time.

"But…"

The older woman waved a hand, brushing Ye Mingyu's concern off. She cut one of the tin packets she pulled out from her shopping bag and handed it to Ye Mingyu.

"I brought you some nourishing tonic. Here, take this and drink it so your baby will grow healthier. Yize might be focusing on western medicine these days, but it wouldn't change the fact that traditional medicine is way better."

Ye Mingyu curled her nose in disgust once she read the contents of the packet. However, as the older woman waited for her to finish the drink, she didn't have a choice but to drink the content in one go. She made a face as the taste hit her tongue and swore that she'd never tasted anything so disgusting in her life before.

"Mother, what is this? This tastes awful!" She said, before rushing to get a glass of water to rinse the disgusting flavor that was left on her palate.

However, one glass wasn't enough to wash away the bitterness in her mouth, leaving her no choice but to brush her teeth and gargle mouthwash once the old woman left. In her mind, she was cursing her mother-in-law for daring to subject her to such torture. Who in their sane mind would drink it willingly? 𝒇𝑟e𝗲𝚠𝚎𝐛𝗻𝐨νel. 𝒄om

"That one is made with fish. Fish is said to be essential for the development of your baby's brain. I'll ask the cook to prepare you a seaweed soup for dinner. Make sure not to skip your meals. I know that actors like you always keep an eye on your weight, but you can't have skinny bones while being pregnant with my grandchild."

Ye Mingyu said nothing and tried to force herself to keep a smile on her face. However, she didn't expect that the old woman would take her hand and frowned upon seeing her well manicured nails, painted with red polish.

"Take this off as well. We don't know what kind of chemicals those nail polish have that can harm your baby. It's only until you give birth, Mingyu."

Meanwhile, even with the widespread news of Ye Mingyu being pregnant with his child, Han Yize didn't stop seeking Huo Yunxi. Huo Yunxi had just gotten out of her car after a long day at work, when Han Yize appeared from nowhere, grasping her wrist before she could walk away.

"What do you think you are doing here?" She sneered at him, trying her best to free her wrist from his hold, but Han Yize tightened his grip.

"Listen to what I say first. You can't just get rid of me like this." He said almost pleadingly.

Huo Yuxin huffed and looked at him with disgust.

"The one who got rid of me first was you, remember?" She retorted. "You let your parents harm my family, sending them to their deaths before you decided that you have had enough of me."

"What the hell are you talking about?" Han Yize glowered at her. "I didn't do such a thing. You were the first one who fled the country after receiving a lot of money from my parents. You left me without a word or any explanation of why you were leaving me."

She suddenly went still and stared at him for a moment, before she finally realized that everything that happened in the past were just the tricks his parents used to break them apart.

"I see. So that's what they told you? I wouldn't be surprised if they say that I ran away with another man."

Seeing how Han Yize's jaws hardened upon hearing her words, Huo Yuxin burst into laughter, barely concealing the amusement in her face.

"I'm right, and you easily believed their words without bothering to find out the truth from me." She said with teary eyes. "Do you know how they forced my family business into bankruptcy? Do you know how it led to my father's death and how depressed my mother became after we lost everything? You keep saying you love me, but never once did you prove it through your actions."

This time, she was glowering at him, baring all the woes and grievances she suffered because of her love for him in the past. Huo Yuxin deeply regretted being involved with him in the past. She wouldn't have lost everything had she not fallen in love with this man.

She regretted everything now and just as she thought she would never be able to exact revenge on those who ruined her life, Su Xiaofei extended her an olive branch. Huo Yuxin wasn't sure how Han Yize offended Su Xiaofei, but she could sense deep hostility from her manager towards him and Ye Mingyu. Something must have happened before her arrival.

"Please leave." She said, willing to keep her expression neutral. "Your lover is now pregnant with your child, so please understand that we can never be together anymore. I don't want to become your mistress, a woman you could only love behind your parents and the public. Let's end it all here, Yize."
