Surprise! Love-brained Mr. Li has made his ex-girlfriend his girlfriend

Chapter 356: Same New Year, Different Atmosphere

In the past, Lu Yiheng only thought that Yang Wenqi was experienced and tactful in dealing with people, and was smart in doing things. At this moment, he felt that she was a little scary. He swallowed his throat and whispered, "Aunt, I thought that with your intelligence, you would at least not let this child appear."

Yang Wenqi also regretted this matter. She and Lu Dingsheng had been preparing for so many years, and had sex after testing the follicles, but they still couldn't get pregnant. The doctor also diagnosed that her endometrial environment was not good, so whether it was natural conception or artificial insemination, it all ended in failure.

After that night with Lu Yiheng, what she feared most was that the affair would be discovered, or that Lu Yiheng would use it to blackmail her. She also resented Chu Zeyan and Lu Xingchen. She remembered the risk of pregnancy two days later, but felt that it was unlikely, so she did not take any measures to remedy the situation afterwards.

It’s too late to say anything now, and there’s no need to explain to Lu Yiheng, so after taking a deep breath, she said, “It’s not easy for me to have a child, and it will be even harder to get rid of it. Besides, with Lu Yisen here, even if I want to help you get the Lu family sovereignty, I may be unable to do so.”

Moreover, judging from the deal between her and Lu Yiheng, the arrival of this child gave her a bargaining chip to control Lu Yiheng. Of course, she couldn't confess this to Lu Yiheng. She looked at the group of playful children and said slowly:

“But this child will be more competitive than Ethan Lu, because he has me as his mother to back him up, while Ethan Lu is just a child born from someone else’s belly. When the old lady dies, there will be no one to support him, and he will have even less chance.”

After saying this, she looked at Lu Yiheng's still tense face and smiled, "Besides, since we have decided to join forces, wouldn't it be better if we have a common beneficiary? I will naturally fight for opportunities for you, and even if Lu Corporation falls into your hands, the future will naturally be handed over to our son. This is a truly solid win-win relationship, isn't it?"

In fact, without Yang Wenqi pointing it out, Lu Yiheng also felt her intention to use this child to restrain him. After all, she needed this protection. Now hearing her say this, this protection seemed to be beneficial to him.

Regardless of which child Lu's company will be handed over to him, if Yang Wenqi can help him because of this child, his chances of winning will be even greater.

Thinking about this, Lu Yiheng took a deep breath, "What the little aunt said makes sense, but I have to remind you that after experiencing the fact that Lu Xingchen is not his biological child, not to mention the old lady, the second uncle will definitely conduct paternity tests on each of his children. Have you ever thought about how to get through this stage?"

"So didn't I ask you to help me figure this out?"

"What can I do?"

Yang Wenqi once again despised Lu Yiheng's attitude of trying to pass the buck when he encountered trouble instead of dealing with it head-on. "I have a way to get your second uncle to hand over the appraisal to the old lady. In this way, we only need to solve the problem with the old lady. As for how to conceal it, it depends on our cooperation."

"Do you think grandma is easy to fool? She is also very smart!"

"So what do you want?" Yang Wenqi asked Lu Yiheng, "Do you want your second uncle and grandmother to handle it first, or do you want to tell them now that the child is yours?"

Lu Yiheng's pupils shrank, and after a while he said, "You shouldn't have told your second uncle, but aborted the child."

"Get rid of it? Humph, will you let me go completely if I get rid of it?"

Besides, she still needed the child in case anything went wrong with Shen Mingzhen. Of course, she would never tell Lu Yiheng about this.

Yang Wenqi's eyes were stern, and she said seriously, "I held back just now because I didn't want our cooperation to be unhappy, but now you seem very reluctant, so I can only tell you the truth. Whether it's your second uncle or you, I need this child to stay with me. Only in this way can I truly protect myself, instead of relying on your promises that may collapse at any time. So Lu Yiheng, you have to protect this child in my belly for me no matter what, otherwise... let's perish together."

At this time, Lu Xingchen and Xu Fanghua were sitting on the sofa watching the Spring Festival Gala.

Compared to the bustle of the Lu family's old house, their home seemed exceptionally quiet, especially since Aunt Zhang had gone home for the holiday, making the home even quieter. However, compared to last year, when Lu Wenli was still looking for the former boss who had stolen Xu Fanghua during the Spring Festival, this year's Spring Festival was actually exceptionally peaceful for Lu Xingchen and Xu Fanghua.

Originally, Li Zhen and Wang Yaning had asked them to go to their home to have New Year's Eve dinner together, but after all, Lu Xingchen and Li Zhen were not married yet, so they could just spend the holidays there, but for such a grand festival as the Spring Festival, they still wanted to celebrate the new year with their own family.

Wang Yaning also understood, after all, it was New Year's Eve. However, knowing that the two of them could not cook, he still asked Li Zhen to deliver the main dishes on the New Year's Eve dinner table to them. Li Zhen also prepared the rest of the cash dishes for them in advance.

Lu Xingchen said, "No need to be so troublesome, the two of us can't eat that much," but in fact, she was happy to see Li Zhen busy in the kitchen, so when Li Zhen was about to stay and have New Year's Eve dinner with them, she was secretly happy.

But in the end, Li Zhen was invited home by Xu Fanghua. She invited her and her daughter to have New Year's Eve dinner at home. They said they would spend the New Year at home, but what kind of nonsense was it to take someone else's son to her home for New Year's Eve dinner? Although Wang Yaning didn't mind, Xu Fanghua felt that she couldn't bring her son-in-law home before her two children got married.

So, there was a scene where the mother and daughter watched the Spring Festival Gala at home, but neither of them was watching TV, they were both looking down at their phones.

Xu Fanghua was exchanging blessings with students and children, and at the same time following the trend of grabbing and giving out red envelopes in the work group.

Lu Xingchen was even busier. His employees sent Spring Festival greetings. Zhao Wenjing and Cheng Xiao were in their hometown, but they all celebrated the New Year together in the group. They posted videos and photos of their New Year's Eve dinner, specialties, customs, etc.

In the past, when she was in the Lu family, they would return to the old house on New Year’s Eve, and various sacrificial ceremonies would start in the afternoon, so Lu Xingchen was not without the habit of celebrating the New Year. It was just that in the past few years since she left the Lu family, because Xu Fanghua was with Lu Wenli again, she almost celebrated the New Year alone, which was no different from usual.

Although it was just her and her mother this year, because of Li Zhen, the Li family, and Zhao Wenjing and the others, she suddenly felt the long-lost sense of the New Year's liveliness.

Just as he was thinking about Li Zhen, his video call came in. Lu Xingchen did not shy away from Xu Fanghua and answered it immediately. The light in the phone was dim, and he could only see Li Zhen's face. When he saw her, he checked the camera and asked her with a smile: "Have you eaten?"

"We're done eating, where are you?"

"I'm in the yard. Li Wen and Li Shu are going to set off fireworks. I want you to see them too."

Lu Xingchen's mouth curled up involuntarily, and then she saw Li Shu sticking his head out from behind Li Zhen's shoulder and saying to her in front of the camera: "Sister-in-law, I wish you and Auntie a happy New Year in advance. I wish you a happy New Year!"

Li Wen also squeezed in front of the camera and said, "Sister-in-law, auntie, happy new year!"

Li Shu used his head to push Li Wen out, "Don't rush, I haven't finished yet, sister-in-law, next year you must bring Auntie to celebrate the New Year in our house!"

When Xu Fanghua heard this, she immediately came to Lu Xingchen's side and watched them answer for her: "I agree!"

The people on both ends of the phone were delighted...
