Chapter 135: Causing a Stir!

Chapter 135: Causing a Stir!

In the evening, a document was delivered to Fu Yining.

"What's this...?" she asked.

Yu Zhili nodded. "It's the information you were looking for."

"Already? That was quick!"

Fu Yining was surprised but not entirely unexpected. She couldn't wait to dive into it.

Hopefully, it's just a misunderstanding. If not... she'd show it to Yu Mingze first thing tomorrow.

As Chen Yanqing put it, he's still her son, after all. Better to let anyone benefit except Fang Fei's family.

As she flipped through the pages, she asked Yu Zhili, "Did you already go through it?"

"Yes."

"You're taking this pretty calmly."

"Maybe because I had a hunch?"

Once Qin Lang and his team got the info, they rushed it over to him. Yu Zhili had read it, and his first thought was that he should've done this sooner.

He slipped into his pajamas and quietly got into bed.

Fu Yining was propped up on her pillow, eyes glued to the document.

Honestly, she hadn't been this focused even back in school.

"Qin Lang? Nice name, but who's this Lu Yan guy?"

"Lu Nian's youngest son from Lu Group, and a childhood friend of your son."

"Your boy."

"Fine, my son."

Yu Zhili chuckled and leaned over to peek at the document she was holding.

Fu Yining's eyes landed on some obviously sneaky photos, shocked that Zheng Anran would dare to date someone else knowing Yu Mingze was finalizing his divorce today.

"If Lu Yan's your son's friend, why would he... Oh, poor kid's been through heartbreak too."

Fu Yining suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for Yu Mingze.

"Does he even know his first love was so easily swayed?"

"He didn't head home, did he?"

"Nope, probably went to see the Zhengs."

Fu Yining closed the document and smiled. "We bumped into Zheng Anran's dad earlier. You think he'll go back and spill the beans to Fang Fei and the others about your son losing his inheritance?"

"He will."

They probably already know by now.

Given the Zheng family's nature, it's still uncertain whether they can continue to treat Yu Mingze kindly.

Yu Zhili took the documents from her hand and placed them on the bedside.

"If their family is smart enough, they should know that not marrying my son now is their best choice."

Fu Yining nodded in agreement.

"You're right."

By keeping Yu Mingze on the hook without marrying him, they can continue to benefit from him; once married, it means they get nothing.

However, if that document were to reach Yu Mingze, what happens next is uncertain.

Fu Yining is already ready to enjoy the show.

"Lili, are there any other photos? I need something more scandalous."

It would be best to deliver a fatal blow to Yu Mingze, making it impossible for him to fool himself into thinking that Zheng Anran and this Qin Lang are just ordinary friends.

"Time was short, and all Qin Mian and his team could find was this, but..."

"But what?"

"I don't think we need to worry about this; the Lu family's youngest son is likely to make a move soon."

Upon hearing this, Fu Yining exclaimed.

Right, as the one who hired the "lover," Lu Yan must have a lot of firsthand information, it's just a matter of when he will act!

-

"Mingze, take care on your way, drive safely!"

Fang Fei, holding her daughter, warmly saw him off at the door.

Zheng Yongming, claiming to be too drunk and dizzy, was still in the living room and hadn't come out.

"Alright, Aunt Fang, I'll be careful."

Yu Mingze looked at Zheng Anran again, reassuring her once more: "Anran, wait for me, I will make all the preparations and then come to take you back to our home!"

Unlike Fang Fei, Zheng Anran had no interest in what Yu Mingze was saying at the moment, and could only manage a stiff smile, saying, "Okay."

As the car started and hadn't yet left the Zheng family's view, Zheng Anran anxiously grabbed Fang Fei's hand and asked, "Mom, what should I do?"

Does she really have to marry Yu Mingze?

Without the inheritance, all he has is a car and a property in his name!

Pitifully little.

Even if Yu Mingze keeps saying he will treat her well and make money to support her, she is not willing.

Zheng Anran now wants to live the life of a wealthy lady, spending money extravagantly.

She doesn't want to wait around!

Fang Fei, watching Yu Mingze's car drive off, then took her daughter's hand and led her into the house.

"Anran, don't worry, things aren't that bad yet."

"Mom, if things aren’t bad now, when will they be?"

Zheng Anran was so upset that tears streamed down her face, sobbing as she spoke: "I thought once Mingze got divorced, I'd become Mrs. Yu, but that title is still held by Song Qingyu, and even her child is taking what's mine..."

"Why is my life so miserable!"

Fang Fei, irritated by her crying, snapped: "All you do is cry, cry, cry! What good is crying? You should be thinking of a solution!"

"What can I do, Mom? I don’t want to marry Mingze anymore!"

Zheng Anran cried harder, feeling more wronged.

Fang Fei asked Aunt Li to bring tissues and wiped her daughter's tears bit by bit.

"Stop crying and listen to me."

"Mm, mm."

Zheng Anran looked at Fang Fei, her eyes red and swollen.

Fang Fei threw the wad of tissues into the trash and slowly said: "If you don’t want to marry him, then we won’t."

"But..."

"Anran, didn’t you hear Mingze earlier? He can’t inherit the Yu family fortune if he marries you, so if you don’t marry him, isn’t that better?"

Zheng Anran’s eyes flickered, hesitant: "I, I can not marry, but Mingze won’t agree, will he?"

"So we need to find a way to keep him in line!"

The best plan is to make Yu Mingze feel guilty toward Anran for life, so their family wouldn’t have to worry about money in the future.

"Mom, do you have a good idea?"

Fang Fei glanced at her daughter’s stomach and asked: "Anran, have you and Mingze ever slept together?"

Catching her meaning, Zheng Anran’s face turned bright red, then she shook her head.

"What? Not even after all this time?"

"Mom, Mingze respects me; he said he wants to wait until our wedding night."

Fang Fei: "By then, it’ll be too late!"

"Anran, while there’s still time, find a way to get pregnant with Mingze’s child!"

"Mom, it’s not that easy to get pregnant, and besides, if I get pregnant, wouldn’t it be even harder to avoid?"

"What are you scared of? You can always get an abortion if you get pregnant!"

"Mom! How can you say that to me? I’m your own daughter!"

Zheng Anran understood what she was planning and angrily turned her back to her.

Fang Fei knew she misunderstood and quickly hugged her daughter to explain: "Anran, listen to me, I’m not really asking you to get pregnant and abort, we can put on a show!"

"A show?"

"Yes, I’ll prepare the props for you in advance, the rest is up to you."

Zheng Anran struggled for a long time, then slowly nodded.

"Okay, I’ll do it!"

What could make Yu Mingze feel guiltier than a "child" that was conceived but never born?
