Chapter 105 The Plan Had Failed
However, Li Huiran suddenly screamed.”No! Jiawei, I’m pregnant!”
Bai Jiawei froze with one foot on the stair and he slowly turned around, “What?”
”I. . . I -” Li Huiran pushed herself up with one arm and fumbled through the pockets in her coat and then her pants. Finally, she pulled out a folded piece of paper.
Li Huiran sighed and quickly unfolded it with her shaky fingers.
”Look, it’s here. The hospital’s pregnancy test results!”
He Xinyan furrowed her eyebrows together as she took a step forward. This wasn’t part of the plan. . .
Bai Jiawei slowly walked over and grabbed the paper out of Li Huiran’s fingers. The entire room was silent as Bai Jiawei looked over what was on the paper.
His eyebrows furrowed as he got to the end of the paper. . . ‘positive pregnancy test’.
”This is real?” He asked as he looked at Li Huiran.
Li Huiran nodded her head furiously, “Yes, yes! I swear it is real!”
”Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Bai Jiawei asked as he walked forward to Li Huiran.
”I. . . I wanted to give you a surprise. The test was only a few days ago, so I was waiting for the right time to show it to you.”
Bai Jiawei read through the paper one last time before looking down at Li Huiran with an unreadable expression.
Everyone inside the room waited in silence for his reaction.
Finally, Bai Jiawei stretched his hand out and Li Huiran let out a sigh of relief. She grabbed onto it and Bai Jiawei slowly pulled her up from the ground.
”You should have told me earlier.” Bai Jiawei knit his eyebrows together and muttered, “For the baby, I will let the money go for now. However, if you dare do it again -“
”I won’t! I promise!” Li Huiran was almost on the verge of tears when she heard that she was saved.
Bai Jiawei then turned to Su Zhiming, “You better earn the money back. I will create an IOU statement for you.”
Although Su Zhiming wasn’t happy with the IOU statement, he had to agree.
He Xinyan watched this with a calm expression, although she was the exact opposite on the inside. Li Huiran was pregnant?! How was that possible?
She was 49 already, and the timing. . . It was too much of a coincidence to He Xinyan. However, she couldn’t say anything right now.
She had no evidence.
Bai Jiawei led Li Huiran over to the couch and they sat down together.
”I shouldn’t have pushed you back then. You should have told me you were pregnant!” Bai Jiawei placed one hand onto Li Huiran’s stomach, “Is the baby okay?”
Li Huiran smiled shyly, “Yes. The doctor said that the baby is very healthy and it is three weeks old already.”
Bai Jiawei turned around, and there was a smile on his face now.
”Yuyan, go get your mom a cup of warm water!”
Li Yuyan’s face was still a little pale from the alarming incident a few minutes ago, and she flinched when Bai Jiawei spoke to her.
”Oh – Yes.” She walked over to the dining table and got a glass of water. So, a few minutes ago her mom was getting kicked out of the house, and now. . . Her mom was the treasure of the house because she is pregnant!
Li Yuyan quickly dumped the water and ran over to the couch, “Mom, drink water.”
”Thank you, Yuyan.” Li Huiran’s heartbeat had slowed down a little and she drank the water while placing one hand onto the stomach.
It was a good thing she had put the paper into her pocket today.
”Su Zhiming,” Bai Jiawei said as he put on a serious expression again. “I want you to figure out why your project is losing money now and fix it! I expect that it should be earning again next month.”
Su Zhiming clenched his teeth together before saying, “Yes sir.”
In the corner, He Xinyan was still not convinced. She stepped forward and put on a genuine smile.
”Congratulations, Auntie Li! I can’t believe that I will have a stepbrother soon! Can I take a look at the pregnancy report?”
Li Huiran looked up at He Xinyan and grabbed onto the glass of water tighter. She couldn’t trust He Xinyan.
”Um. . .” Li Huiran looked down at the paper she was still holding and furrowed her eyebrows.
”Yanyan, why do you need to look at the pregnancy report? Ah, you should go up to bed. All of us should go to sleep. Huiran, you need to sleep more now that you are pregnant, understand?” Bai Jiawei cut in.
Li Huiran nodded and relaxed a little, “Yes.”
He Xinyan didn’t want to push it any further, so she went upstairs without saying anything further.
The plan had failed, and what she did now wouldn’t matter anymore. There was no way that Bai Jiawei was going to kick Li Huiran out of the house now that she was pregnant.
But was she pregnant?
He Xinyan walked into her room and wasn’t surprised when she saw Gu Yechen already on her bed in his black silk pajamas.
He opened his eyes when he heard the bedroom door open, and smiled when he saw He Xinyan.
”How did it go?”
He Xinyan sighed and shook her head.
”What happened?” Gu Yechen furrowed his eyebrows as he sat up straight on the bed. There was no way the plan didn’t work. . . All of his plans in the past had always worked, and the Gu family was definitely more scheming and complicated than Li Huiran and Li Yuyan.
”Wait.” He Xinyan entered the bathroom and changed into her pajamas. She then brushed her teeth and washed her face.
She stared at her reflection in the mirror. Water was still dripping down from her face, which she had just washed. Even without any makeup on, her skin was clear and smooth, like porcelain.
She froze like that, staring blankly at herself for a few seconds.
Finally, she took a deep breath and wiped her face with a towel before stepping out of the bathroom.
Gu Yechen was standing right outside the bathroom door with his arms crossed.
He Xinyan flinched when she walked straight into him, “What are you doing?”
Gu Yechen looked down at her and frowned slightly, “What happened?”
He Xinyan pulled him over to the bed and he obediently crawled into the blanket first before asking again.
”What happened?”
He Xinyan looked up at him and knit her eyebrows together, “Li Huiran is pregnant.”
Gu Yechen raised one eyebrow and immediately understood. It only took four words to explain to him exactly what had gone wrong.
It was in no way part of their plan, and they both hadn’t even thought of that as a possibility.
”Really?”
”Yeah. . . I didn’t believe it either. But Li Huiran had a pregnancy report.”
Gu Yechen narrowed his eyes, “Pregnancy reports can be faked.”
He Xinyan paused before asking, “So you don’t believe it.”
”Do you?”
”No.”
—
The next day, He Xinyan got out of bed early and walked downstairs to eat breakfast before leaving for filming.
What Gu Yechen had said last night got her thinking. . . Was Li Huiran lying?
He Xinyan slowly walked down the stairs and then thought of the possibility that Li Huiran wasn’t lying. What if she was actually pregnant?
The most dangerous part of Li Huiran being pregnant was the possibility of the kid being a boy.
He Xinyan could already guess what would happen. Bai Jiawei would find some way to give the company and all of the He family’s power to Li Huiran’s baby son, just because it was a boy. . . the only boy.
She couldn’t let that happen. She couldn’t lose everything. It belonged to the He family! It belonged to her!
He Xinyan lifted her chin up slightly and took a deep breath. She was the only rightful heir to everything of the He family.
And no one could take anything away from her.
He Xinyan walked down the final stairs and to the dining room. She stopped when she noticed that there was someone sitting at the dining table already.
Su Zhiming.
He Xinyan rolled her eyes in disgust before walking into the room and sitting down in her normal spot.
Su Zhiming looked up and was surprised to see He Xinyan. A sparkle flashed through his eyes as he smiled, “Good morning.”
He Xinyan didn’t respond and instead drank a sip of milk from her cup.
”Did you sleep well last night?”
He Xinyan began cutting her toast.
”You don’t have to ignore me, Xinyan. We still are -” Su Zhiming stretched his hand forward in an effort to grab hers, but didn’t expect for He Xinyan to suddenly pull her arm away.
”Can you let me peacefully eat my breakfast?”
Su Zhiming frowned, “I -“
”What’s with all the commotion so early in the morning?” Bai Jiawei showed up in the dining room, and he was holding onto the hand of Li Huiran.
