"I can see that you're still a traitor in your bones. That's why you have a pitiful natural hatred for those in the Federation who have wealth and power."
Zou Yu gently stroked her lower abdomen. Not only was the bump there not obvious, but it was also impossible to see anything at all. That was why she didn't know how Xu Le could tell that she was pregnant. Right now, her words were mostly used to cover up her slight panic.
Xu Le's eyes were too sharp. He had been immersed in the world of metal circuits with Uncle Feng Yu for many years. Especially after he cultivated that mysterious power in his body, his eyes were even sharper. Even a difference of less than a millimeter would never escape his eyes. A human's body was obviously different from a machine's. However, a mechanic's bold guess and careful verification of the characteristics of his profession allowed him to successfully guess Zou Yu's secret.
The black car drove on the quiet streets of Wangdu. For a moment, the two of them were silent. After all, they weren't familiar with each other. In fact, they even hated each other in the past. It was even more difficult to find a topic to talk about compared to looking for pear blossoms in the winter snow of Linhai.
After a moment of silence, Zou Yu indifferently asked about Tai Zhiyuan's current situation. Xu Le remembered that this girl in red had asked him once before. However, he still calmly answered because he could see that her indifference was fake.
He noticed that Zou Yu still didn't ask for that person's name after hesitating for a long time. He said, "Shi Qinghai is currently being secretly pursued by the Federation Investigation Bureau. However, he should be fine. As for where he is right now, I really don't know."
Hearing the three words Shi Qinghai, Zou Yu knew that the man beside her had guessed her thoughts. A trace of anger flashed across her slightly pale cheeks. She deliberately made a few traces of harshness in the corner of her beautiful eyes. She lightly mocked, "Scourges live for thousands of years. It's not easy for a b * tch like your friend to die."
"From your perspective, it's better for him to be alive. You can't let the child in your womb be born without a father," Xu Le replied.
Xu Le had already guessed that the father of the fetus in Zou Yu's belly was Shi Qinghai. Although Zou Yu did not understand the reason, she knew that he had already guessed it. However, this sentence really opened up the matter. The red-clothed girl's heart felt as if it had been rubbed by the snowflakes by the Rose River. She felt a little sour, a little painful, and a little angry.
In the past few months, her mood had been very low, but the reason for this was very complicated. She had been looking forward to the Double Moon Festival ball for a long time. In the end, it ended in a farce between Xu Le and Zhang Xiaomeng. She felt humiliated and deeply sad, but after that, she realized that besides being sad and disappointed, there was also a sense of relief. Her father, Zou Yingxing, was directly promoted from the position of the Ministry of Defense's Logistics Department to the position of Deputy Minister. From this, it seemed that the Tai family still did not stop supporting the Zou family because of what happened at the ball. On the contrary, their support for the Zou family increased.
Was this compensation? Sometimes, she would sneer and think that what really made her mood fall to the bottom was the news of her pregnancy. Her period had not arrived, and the color of the pregnancy test paper had changed. This made her mood change, and she began to feel frustrated and helpless.
From the moment she found out that she was pregnant, she knew who the father of the child was. That beautiful face with a mean smile and that pair of peach blossom eyes would occasionally appear in her imagination and dreams. However, when she found out that the rogue official who had slapped her and had a one-night stand with her had caused her to have a child … she could not accept this reality for a while.
Lady Tai still occasionally invited her to have afternoon tea together. Her father and brother still believed that she would definitely become Tai Zhiyuan's partner in the future. Over the years, Zou Yu had been influenced by what she had seen and heard. She had always thought of herself as Tai Zhiyuan's wife. Now that she was pregnant with another man's child, she actually felt a strange sense of shame and panic. She was like a girl who had been caught red-handed with the most concrete evidence.
That cold, proud, and ruthless woman in red was only her disguise. The real her was a young girl who had not yet reached 20 years of age. Under such circumstances, she could no longer bear the burden.
Before her family found out that she was pregnant, she had a big argument with her father and brother. She took the opportunity to move out and began to fool around with her peers in the upper circle of the Federation. She seemed to be crazy, but in reality, she was extremely frightened. She drove the fastest car, drank the strongest alcohol, and became increasingly crazy because she didn't know how to face her belly that was about to bulge … She really couldn't bear to kill the little life in her belly. Sometimes, she would be in a daze and think of the man with the pair of peach blossom eyes. However, if the situation continued to develop, it would be a problem …
Perhaps subconsciously, she had some kind of self-destructive thought. Whether it was racing or drinking, they were all methods to destroy her life or the little life in her belly.
…
…
"Earlier, when those people saw me get in your car, they did not find it strange. Because in their eyes … maybe I am a very loose woman."
Zou Yu's face was pale, but she had a strong self-deprecating smile. Looking at the dark street outside the car window, she did not know where this car was going under the guidance of the electronic map. Her slightly dry lips moved slightly, and she said indifferently, "I did not expect that hooligan Shi Qinghai would tell you about what happened between us that night. This is very tasteless … But I have a lot of men, and I don't even know who the father of the child in my belly is. If you think that the father is your friend, and that is why you pestered me tonight, then you can stop the car now. "
Xu Le did not stop the car, nor did he turn his head to look at her with a very deep gaze to make her yield. He just looked at the front of the car and said slowly, "I don't know what your reputation is like outside. Even if it is, it should be something that happened recently. The existence of Lady Tai, Tai Zhiyuan, and your family all guarantee that you are not a girl who casually has relations with others. "
"I am Shi Qinghai's brother. I know that guy is indeed a hooligan, but there are really too few women who can resist his charm. Also, I happen to know that you two used to be together."
"I heard Tai Zhiyuan talk about you before. I even know that when you two were in school together, there was that heavy truck accident that happened on the school street. Speaking of which, Tai Zhiyuan has always felt guilty towards you."
He continued, "He has always treated you as a childhood friend … Trust me, even if the Tai family knew that you were together with another man, they would not express too strongly. At most, Lady Tai would be a bit disappointed."
Thinking about what Tai Zhiyuan had said that day, Xu Le could not help but turn his head and glance at Zou Yu's beautiful waist and butt. He thought that in the eyes of that lady, the most important thing about such a wonderful body was that it would be easy to give birth.
It had to be said that the lady's taste was indeed very unique. Shi Qinghai and the girl in red next to him had only been together once, but the girl had already given birth to a baby. On one hand, it showed that Shi Qinghai was very capable. On the other hand, it also showed that the Zou family's eldest daughter was indeed …
Zou Yu thought about the accident that happened when she was young, and her expression changed slightly. Then, she thought about the huge situation that she was in right now, and her face gradually turned pale. Her eyes saw a pack of cigarettes in front of the car, and she could not help but frown. She subconsciously took out a cigarette, and with trembling fingers, she lit the lighter.
In the high-end apartment in Linhai City, the man with the pair of peach blossom eyes had this brand of cigarettes in his house.
Xu Le's smoking habit was basically cultivated by Shi Qinghai, so the cigarettes that he was used to smoking now were also of this brand.
She only took a puff, and before the smoke could leave her red lips, the red light at the tip of the cigarette flashed slightly, and a hand reached out from the side and rudely snatched the cigarette away.
Zou Yu was very angry, and the smoke in her mouth rushed into her mouth, and she coughed. Xu Le said quietly, "Pregnant people should not smoke, drink, and drive fast in the future."
…
…
Pregnant person, child, father. Although Xu Le didn't do it on purpose, these words had been repeated several times during this journey that seemed to have no destination. They drilled into Zou Yu's ears and stimulated her mood. She finally couldn't hold it in anymore. With a gloomy face, she shouted loudly, "Shut up! What does this have to do with you! "
At this time, the black car had just driven to a quiet side door of Linyuan. There were faint lights in the distance, but it was very quiet, and only the sound of forest insects and grass frogs could be heard. Above their heads, there were stars, and two moons hung on the two ends of the dark sky, which was very beautiful.
"The reason why I was angry just now was because of you. This has nothing to do with me, but the child in your belly has something to do with me. "
Xu Le stared into her eyes and said, "Maybe you don't want to accept this life, but this is not your problem alone. I can't watch you drink and drive fast, and in the end, lose your life and the life in your belly … Don't forget, the child's father is my best friend, so of course I can't allow you to do this."
Zou Yu was so angry that she laughed, and said with a cold smile, "Even if someone has to take care of this, it should be Shi Qinghai, that hooligan. You have no right to say anything."
Xu Le paused, and then slightly lowered his head and said, "This is indeed unfair to you, but Shi Qinghai is in a very dangerous situation right now. Under the circumstances that he doesn't know, if you choose not to have this child … it would be too unfair to him."
"I'm sorry, but after all, I am his best friend. Now you have two choices. One is to abort this child, and then hide this matter forever. But … now that I know, it will be very difficult for you to hide it from the whole world. "
"Are you threatening me? How can you be so shameless? "Zou Yu stared into his eyes in disbelief.
Xu Le lowered his head even more. He had been thinking about this problem all along the way, but after thinking about it for a long time, he could only choose to use this kind of shameless method to threaten a girl who was naturally in a vulnerable position. This was not a kind way to deal with it, and it was not in line with his character, but it was definitely in line with the logic of an orphan in Donglin. In the eyes of orphans like him, there were many things that were most important.
