Chapter 128 Don’t disturb your mother’s sleep

"What is it?" Fang Fei hugged her daughter and smiled gently.

She was so excited that she wanted to prepare the dowry for her daughter tonight, willing to stay up all night.

"An Ran?"

"Mom, I forgot to tell you, Song Qingyu is already pregnant."

"Pregnant? Ming Ze's child?"

"Yes."

Who else could it be?

Zheng Anran was so thrilled about becoming "Mrs. Yu" that she forgot everything else, and only now had time to think about the child in Song Qingyu's belly.

Should Song Qingyu really be allowed to have the baby?

If that child is born, they will surely compete with her own child for the Yu family's fortune in the future!

"Mom, what should I do?"

"An Ran, why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier?"

That Song Qingyu is actually pregnant? Not only did she take her daughter's place, but now she also wants to take the future heir's position from her grandson?

Fang Fei's initial excitement and joy instantly diminished significantly, and she couldn't help but blame her daughter for forgetting to tell her such an important matter.

Zheng Anran felt hurt.

"Mom, you're blaming me, but I just found out too!"

"What about Ming Ze? What does Ming Ze think? Does he want that child?"

"He didn't tell me."

She forgot to ask.

"He didn't say? Doesn't that mean he plans to keep it?" Fang Fei's voice began to sound urgent.

If such a big problem is left, her daughter will definitely face a lot of trouble after marrying into the family!

"No, I need to talk to them about this!"

Zheng Anran held back the impulsive Fang Fei: "Mom, it's so late, who are you going to find!"

"Who? Of course, Fu Yining! Her son is going to marry you; she can't keep Song Qingyu's child!"

"Mom, the most important thing now is my marriage, why are you worrying about Song Qingyu?"

Fang Fei grabbed her daughter's hand and asked, "No, it will be too late if we wait any longer! An Ran, do you want your child to have an older half-brother in the future?"

"Of course not, but..."

"No buts! An Ran, you have to listen to your mom on this!"

Fang Fei thought, it might not be so easy for the Yu family to take her daughter as their bride.

When they come to propose marriage, she must leverage this opportunity to secure the best possible outcome for her daughter, An Ran!

"Darling, go back to your room and sleep. Mom will think carefully about what to do next."

"Okay, Mom, I'll go back to my room then!"

"Go ahead."

Fang Fei nodded, found a piece of paper from the room, and listed the conditions for her daughter An Ran's marriage in detail.

Indeed, as long as she can secure Yu Mingze, her daughter has a great chance to become Mrs. Yu.

Hehe, Fu Yining was so high and mighty before, but in a few days, won't she have to come begging to marry her daughter off?

(Fu Yining: Have you ever thought that I might not come at all?)

==========

Yu Mingze tossed and turned all night, finally making it to the next morning.

He timed it to when Fu Yining would wake up, got himself ready early, and went upstairs to find her.

To get a divorce and marry An Ran, he had to tell his mother. If she didn't agree, he would pester her until she did!

As for explaining to Yu ZhiLi... Yu Mingze thought that given the current relationship between his parents, as long as Fu Yining agreed, he probably wouldn't oppose.

Having made up his mind, Yu Mingze casually ruffled his red hair, then pushed open the door.

"Huh? You're up already?"

Just as he stepped out, he saw Song Qingyu coming out of another room.

Song Qingyu showed him the handbag in her hand, "Didn't you say you wanted a divorce? I've got everything ready."

"What time is it? The offices aren't even open yet."

Yu Mingze found it strange.

Shouldn't she be upset about the divorce? Why does she seem so eager all of a sudden?

"I'm going upstairs to talk to my parents now. Wait here, and I'll come find you later."

Song Qingyu said okay, but in her heart, she thought he hadn't yet told Fu Yining and Yu ZhiLi.

Would this make her seem too eager?

"Ahem, I'll head upstairs now."

"Mm."

Yu Mingze coughed lightly, pretending to leave nonchalantly.

He noticed she really didn't seem sad!

But, doesn't she like him?

With a head full of questions, Yu Mingze walked to the third floor. Standing outside Fu Yining's room, he suddenly felt nervous.

"Knock knock knock!" Finally, he knocked on the door.

He had already prepared what to say, just waiting for her to appear.

Soon, the door in front of him opened a crack, and Yu Mingze took a deep breath: "Mom, I have something to tell you... uh, Dad, why is it you?"

Yu Mingze rubbed his eyes, stepped back, and looked around a few times.

Yes, this is definitely my mom's room!

"Dad, where's Mom?"

"She's still asleep. What's the matter?"

If it had been Fu Yining who came out, Yu Mingze wouldn't have been afraid; but with his father, the words he wanted to say suddenly got stuck in his throat.

No! An Ran had waited for him for so many years, he couldn't let her down again!

Yu Mingze felt a rush of determination and spoke firmly: "Dad, I want a divorce! I want to marry An Ran!"

Yu Zhili raised an eyebrow, seemingly surprised.

"Have you thought it through?"

"Yes! If you and Mom agree, I'll go and file for divorce with Song Qingyu today."

After saying this, Yu Mingze quietly waited for Yu Zhili's response.

To be honest, he was still quite intimidated by his father.

If his father didn't agree, how could he convince him?

"You want a divorce? What about the child?"

"If Song Qingyu agrees, she can have custody of the child."

Sensing his father might be relenting, Yu Mingze quickly assured him: "I'll transfer the property I own elsewhere to Song Qingyu, so she and the child can live there. I'll also pay child support every month..."

"No."

"...?"

Yu Mingze cautiously probed: "Dad, what do you think then?"

"You don't need to worry about child support, and keep the house for yourself. Once you handle the paperwork today, move out and live with that woman."

"Dad, what about Song Qingyu and the child?"

"Of course they'll stay at home. Where else would they go?"

Yu Zhili was a bit puzzled by his question, "Do you have anything else?"

"No."

"Then go, don't wake your mother."

Yu Mingze thought, 'Guess I'm overthinking this!'

"Dad, so you agree to my divorce with Song Qingyu?"

"Yes."

"What about my mom?"

"I'll talk to her."

Alright, it’s time for him—the odd one out—to leave.

But shortly after leaving, Yu Mingze turned back: "Oh, by the way, Dad, I need to take the morning off!"

"Sure, go ahead."

"Okay, I’m really leaving this time—no turning back."

Yu Mingze couldn’t shake the feeling that this whole thing was going a little too smoothly—almost suspiciously so.

He was the one who suggested divorcing and remarrying, so why did he feel so empty now?
