Chapter 245 – The Child’s biological father, Yan Siming?
Translator: Lonelytree
Yan Ruyu followed her cousin with trepidation. Her original intention was to see the beautiful scenery of the peach blossom village. However, Yan Siming, the man who was prettier than a woman, caused people to stop and take a look. He became others’ scenery.
“That’s a man, right?”
The villagers could not help but discuss among themselves when they saw Yan Siming. They lowered their heads and whispered into each other’s ears.
“It should be a man. Look at his short hair, his suit, and his tall build. He’s at least 1.8 meters tall.”
“Oh. I remember who he is now!” Some villagers suddenly cried out in surprise.
“Who is he?”
“A few months ago, didn’t the people from the Chen family village cause a ruckus at Xiao Zhengyang’s house? The time when both Zhengyang and Qiuying were injured?”
“Now that you mention it, I remember it too.”
“Xiao Lingyu brought this man back with her. Chen Dahua and his wife claimed Xiao Lingyu had betrayed their son. They were crazy. They wanted Xiao Lingyu to marry their son and compensate them with her life.”
“But the man helped prove Xiao Lingyu’s innocence. Xiao Lingyu was framed by the kid from the Chen Family. Xiao Lingyu was drugged and slept with this man.”
“Ah, could the child in Xiao Lingyu’s stomach be his?”
Yan Siming, “…”
Yan Ruyu, “…”
Yan Ruyu was silent for a moment before she carefully asked, “Brother, is the child in Xiao Lingyu’s stomach really yours?”
Although the villagers were talking behind their backs, the villagers were not used to lowering their voices. Yan Siming and his sister were also not deaf.
When he helped Xiao Lingyu in City Z and Taoyuan Village, he had insinuated that he was the man who had slept with Xiao Lingyu.
Now that Xiao Lingyu was pregnant, people immediately assumed he was the father.
Yan Siming’s face was dark and gloomy.
He had a crush on Xiao Lingyu, but this crush was not enough to make him become the biological father of a bastard child.
But at this moment, in front of these villagers, he couldn’t admit that he wasn’t the one who slept with Xiao Lingyu.
Yan Siming quickened his pace and left quickly. If he stayed any longer, he was afraid that the villagers might accost him and ask him directly.
The villagers of Taoyuan Village had received benefits from Xiao Lingyu’s family for the past six months, so they more or less were on Xiao Lingyu’s side.
All those who spoke behind Xiao Lingyu’s back had stopped. Instead, more villagers started to rally behind her.
“Lingyu is pitiful too. She knows the father of the son, but she doesn’t want to disturb him. She allowed herself to be criticized by others.”
“This man is despicable. Xiao Lingyu is pregnant with his child, yet he does not come out to say anything. He didn’t even come to visit for a long time.”
“Sigh, it’s possible that Xiao Lingyu didn’t tell him. Think about it. They had sex by accident. I don’t know if they have any real feelings for each other. It’s possible that Xiao Lingyu didn’t tell him at all.”
Everyone had a love for beauty. Yan Siming was beautiful. Naturally, some of the villagers spoke up for him.
“What you said is possible. Looking at how beautiful this man is, he is even more beautiful than Xiao Lingyu. Perhaps he’s the one being taken advantage of.”
“What’s the point of beauty on a man? Since he’s a man, he has to take responsibility. Just because he is beautiful, he can not take responsibility after knocking a woman up?” The words of rural people were sometimes more explicit. They talked without a filter. That was just the way of the countryside.
“Hehe, stop making wild guesses. I saw this man go to Xiao Lingyu’s house. Zhengyang and Qiuying came back to greet him personally. There must be something we don’t know.”
“Does that mean that Xiao Zhengyang and his wife are interested in this son-in-law?” Someone’s eyes lit up. “This son-in-law is so beautiful. If it were me, I would like him too.”
“Dream on. Your daughter is as big and burly as a man. Is she worthy of him?”
“Why not? My daughter looks like a boy while that man looks like a girl. They are a perfect match!”
“Haha. In that case, you should get your Hua ‘Er to go pursue this man. We’ll see what Zhengyang and his wife think when they find out that someone is going after their son-in-law.”
“Exactly.” The others started to jeer.
Yan Siming left in a hurry. Behind him, Yan Ruyu was in her high heels and caught up with him with great difficulty. She said loudly, “Brother, wait for me.”
Yan Siming suddenly stopped in his tracks. Yan Ruyu did not pay attention and ran into him. Yan Siming immediately pulled her so she wouldn’t fall to the ground. However, his expression was gloomy and sullen.
He only wanted to take a look around the village. But he had caused the whole village to start a rumor. Suddenly, he was about to be a father.
However, he couldn’t argue with them, or it’d ruin Xiao Lingyu’s reputation.
Before this, he had already decided that he wouldn’t like this child fathered by an unknown man even if he did marry Xiao Lingyu. However, somehow, he became that unknown man.
Yan Ruyu didn’t know what kind of relationship her cousin had with Xiao Lingyu. However, he must be close to her because her entire family knew him. But now, she realized that was not true. Not only did Xiao Lingyu’s family know him, but also the entire Taoyuan Village know him.
So, did her cousin sleep with Xiao Lingyu? According to the villagers, the child in Xiao Lingyu’s stomach was her cousin’s.
Although Yan Ruyu was a little suspicious, as a member of the Yan family, there were some things that she wanted to clarify.
Yan Ruyu looked around and found that they were standing in an empty place with weeds growing everywhere.
She swallowed her saliva and asked seriously, “Big Brother, are those villagers telling the truth? You slept with Xiao Lingyu, and the child in Xiao Lingyu’s stomach is actually yours? Big Brother, this is a very serious question. You have to answer it!”
She was usually afraid of Yan Siming, but at this moment, she couldn’t care less.
Yan Siming’s sharp gaze swept across Yan Ruyu’s fair and solemn little face, and his expression became even gloomier.
He said sternly, “This is my business, not yours.”
When Yan Ruyu heard this, she was so angry that she stomped her feet. She said, “How is this not my business? I’m your cousin, a member of the Yan family. Grandfather has taught us since we were young that as members of the Yan family, we have to be responsible for everything we do.
“If Xiao Lingyu is really pregnant with your child, you must be responsible. Otherwise, I’ll tell Grandpa. Her belly is already so big, but you still won’t take responsibility!”
Yan Siming’s face darkened, and he warned Yan Ruyu sternly again, “I said this is my business, not yours. If you say another word in front of Grandpa, I’ll never forgive you.”
Yan Ruyu was so angry that her face turned red. She stomped her feet and said, “Hmph, I don’t care. If you really don’t want to take responsibility, I’ll tell Grandpa.”
After saying that, she quickly ran away.
Yan Siming looked at his sister and said with a depressed expression, “Damn, what’s going on?”
He helped Xiao Lingyu twice, and somehow, he became a father. “When I find out the real identity of Xiao Lingyu’s baby’s father, I’ll beat him up until he is paralyzed.”
Yan Siming looked around and left.
As soon as he left, a person appeared from the bushes.
A sinister smile appeared on her face.
“Hehe, so that’s what’s going on. The man Xiao Lingyu slept with back then wasn’t him at all. The Chen Family was telling the truth. They are wronged.”
With that, she picked up a hoe and left.
…
Gong Tianhao had traveled for a whole day and was worn out. Now that he had taken a shower and had eaten his fill, he felt a little tired.
After he sent his grandfather back to his room, he returned to his own room.
He poured himself half a glass of red wine and sat on the mahogany chair, slowly drinking it. The corners of his mouth pursed into a smile. He seemed very happy.
He was glad that he had rushed over. Otherwise, if he let that bastard Yan Siming get there first, he would definitely have to spend a lot of effort chasing after Xiao Lingyu.
The child was five to six months old. In another three to four months, he would be able to hear the sound of the child’s birth. At that time, he would truly become a father.
Gong Tianhao was thinking about how to approach Xiao Lingyu and move her heart when his phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID, he frowned slightly.. Then, he picked it up and said, “Tao Zi!”
