"So?"
"So … I'll still maintain my original attitude."
"What attitude?"
"Mr. Liang, I —"
"Call me by my name!"
Bai Lu bit her lip. Seeing his face darken bit by bit, she had a hunch that he seemed to be a little unhappy. She didn't want to complicate matters now, so she called him by his name. "… Thank you for defending me just now. I know you're very good. But I … can't marry you. "
Liang Feifan narrowed his eyes. "Can't marry me? What about this child? "
Bai Lu knew he would say this. She slowly raised her head and met his sharp gaze. Instead, she curved the corners of her lips. After a while, she said word by word, "Maybe you'll have the same thoughts as your father just now … I'm taking a step back in order to advance, but I don't have to. Because before I knew the child's father was you, I had already decided to have this child. But you're different. "
"Liang Feifan, if it weren't for this accident in my stomach, you wouldn't have married me, right? We shouldn't have rushed into a marriage just for a child. Marriage is very important to me. I don't think it should be child's play for you. "
After she finished speaking, she reached out and pushed Liang Feifan away. She walked around him and went straight out of the back staircase.
Liang Feifan's tall body was still standing in the same place. He heard the elastic door close behind him with a bang, and the light footsteps gradually faded away until they finally disappeared completely from his world. He still didn't turn around.
— "Because before I knew the child's father was you, I had already decided to have this child. But you're different. "
…?
— "If it weren't for this accident in my stomach, you wouldn't have married me, right?"
— "Marriage is very important to me. I don't think it's child's play for you, either."
Liang Feifan's hands gradually clenched by his sides. His usually indifferent expression obviously darkened. Her words kept echoing in his ears.
Marriage … wasn't child's play …
Liang Feifan couldn't help but curve his thin lips into a sexy arc with a hint of loneliness.
To him, he had never delved into the meaning of the word 'marriage' because he had never thought that his marriage would be like what she had just said, 'a lifetime of happiness'.
Talking about happiness was too extravagant for someone like him.
As for him and her, it was a strange combination of circumstances that led them to where they were today. This was not something he had expected. Marriage seemed to be a matter of pushing the boat along the current.
However, the feeling he gave her now … was it child's play? …
Bai Lu had just walked out of the hotel when she saw a familiar figure walking toward her.
To actually meet her here, this seemed to be unexpected, yet also seemed to be within his expectations.
"Miss Bai, you don't seem surprised to see me."
Ye Lian stood in front of Bai Lu with her arms crossed. The luxury car parked not far away should be hers. It seemed that she had specially come here to wait for him.
In that case, she should know clearly about the matter between him and Liang Feifan, right?
Bai Lu was a smart person. It didn't take him long to figure out that Liang Jingxiao must have put in a lot of effort in the process.
"I like to be direct. Miss Bai, I'm here to wait for you today."
Bai Lu nodded. "What do you want to say?"
"It's not convenient to talk here." Ye Lian glanced cautiously at the hotel entrance behind Bai Lu.
She had been waiting here for a long time. Liang Jingxiao had told her that Family Liang would be meeting Bai Lu here today, but it might not be a happy occasion. When she saw Family Liang's elders come out with serious expressions, she knew that Liang Jingxiao's guess was correct.
However, she still hadn't seen Liang Feifan come out.
She secretly came to see Bai Lu, so naturally, she didn't want Liang Feifan to see her.
"Miss Bai, let's find a quieter place. Get in the car."
Ye Lian turned around, opened the car door, and politely gestured for him to get in.
Bai Lu looked at her helplessly. He couldn't escape or hide from her. Even if he didn't leave with her today, she would still come looking for him.
However, what made him feel ashamed was that he knew that Ye Lian was Liang Feifan's fiancée, and he … really felt like a thief.
Even if he didn't mean to, he still cruelly snatched someone else's things.
Perhaps it was this negative thinking that made him very unwilling to face Ye Lian, but he still followed her to find a place.
It was a high-end clubhouse. Ye Lian even specially found a VIP private room. When the waiters saw Ye Lian, they were all respectful and reverent.
"Miss Bai, I'll say the same thing again. I don't like to beat around the bush. Let's talk things out today." As soon as the two of them sat down, Ye Lian already couldn't wait to speak.
Bai Lu didn't beat around the bush. She had actually thought a lot along the way. "Miss Ye, I know what you want to say. Actually, Liang and I …"
"Are you sure that the child you're carrying is really extraordinary?"
Before Bai Lu could finish speaking, Ye Lian had already raised her arrogant chin and interrupted her.
Ye Lian looked coldly at Bai Lu. The corners of her mouth were curled up in contempt. "Let's not beat around the bush. I don't care what kind of act you put on in front of Fei Fan. Before I returned to the country, I had already heard about you. You're really quite famous. Of course, I also admit that when we first met in the parking lot, I deliberately let Fei Fan come down. I thought you were a smart person and would restrain yourself after seeing that my relationship with Fei Fan wasn't shallow. I didn't expect that not only would you not repent, but you'd also go from bad to worse. Aren't you a little too greedy? "
Greedy?
Bai Lu slowly lowered her head. She didn't open her mouth to refute anything, but her throat was bitter.
She hadn't even done anything yet, but she was already being accused of being "greedy."
If she really did something, what kind of person would she become?
"Miss Ye, actually, Liang and I …"
"I don't care what kind of relationship you have with Fei Fan. Since I'm looking for you today, I hope you won't pester Fei Fan anymore."
Bai Lu finally managed to catch her breath. She wanted to explain, but Ye Lian interrupted her impatiently.
She reached out and took out a cheque from her pocket. She flipped it open and wrote a set of numbers on it. Then, she tore it off and handed it to Bai Lu. "Is this enough money?"
Bai Lu's face turned pale. She stared blankly at the cheque that Ye Lian was holding in front of her. There was really a long string of zeros on it. But what was this?
Giving her money and telling her to get lost?
When did she become a woman who only cared about money? Could it be that for an ordinary woman like her to encounter such a situation, it had to be for the money in their hands?
"What if I say it's not enough?" She slowly raised her head. The corners of her mouth curled into a half-smile. She looked at Ye Lian, whose expression changed the moment she heard her words. She seemed to be numb with pleasure. "Miss Ye, if you really wanted to give me money and tell me to get lost, why didn't you let me say it myself?"
Ye Lian's expression froze. She never thought that Bai Lu would actually reply like that.
She tightened her grip on the cheque in her hand. "You … How much do you want?"
"It looks like Miss Ye can't bear to part with it." Bai Lu slowly got up from her seat and looked down at the woman in front of her. The corners of her mouth curved. The light in her dark eyes at this moment had the coldness of her master, Liang Feifan. "Miss Ye, are you afraid that I'll ask for an exorbitant price? That's true. I don't think you can give me the price I want. So Miss Ye, you should forget about it. Don't use money to bribe people before you're ready to go bankrupt. "
After Bai Lu finished speaking, she turned around and left her seat.
She wanted to talk nicely to Ye Lian, but the moment she opened her mouth, all she did was insult her.
She was also a human. In front of Liang Feifan's father, she was already worthless. Now, in front of his fiancée, she was being labeled as a money-grubber …
Did her feelings really not matter at all?
She had never said that she longed to marry into a rich family. She didn't dare to hope that she and Liang Feifan would really bear fruit. She had just accidentally gotten into the wrong bed. But in the end, all of this was caused by Liang Jingxiao. Who could she blame?
She couldn't blame anyone. But now, there were so many people who were biting her and refusing to let her go.
"Bai Lu!"
When Ye Lian saw that Bai Lu was about to leave, she suddenly stood up and caught up with her in a few steps. She blocked her way. "I haven't finished speaking."
The rims of Bai Lu's eyes were a little red. Her emotions kept rolling in her chest. She knew that she was about to lose control.
"Bai Lu, I know what you're thinking. You're just relying on the fact that you're pregnant, so you think that I can't do anything to you and that Feifan has to take responsibility for your child, right? Have you ever thought about how much impact you'll have on his life? "
Bai Lu pursed her lips tightly. She didn't realize how hard she was holding onto her handbag at that moment. "Miss Ye, you're not stopping me at all. You all think that I'm dreaming of marrying into a rich family. I can tell you very clearly that I'm not. "
Ye Lian laughed instead. "You're not? Well then, I'll arrange for the best doctor for you tomorrow. You can get rid of this scourge in your stomach! "
"What did you say?" Bai Lu instinctively covered her stomach and took two steps back. Her pale face was filled with anxiety and uneasiness. She kept shaking her head. "No! This is my child. You have no right to make me abort this child! "
"You're showing your true colors so soon?" Ye Lian narrowed her eyes and sneered. Her tone was full of mockery. "You said that you don't want to marry Feifan, but you refuse to abort the child. You know that the key isn't you, Bai Lu, but the child in your stomach! This was an accident, wasn't it? Since it was an accident, didn't you keep it so that you can control Feifan? He won't be so heartless as to abandon his own child. Bai Lu, you really bet on the right thing this time. "
