The Sweetest Medicine

Lu Xuechen was extremely embarrassed.

He wanted to find an ant hole to hide in because his mother was too exaggerated. He could sense the awkwardness in the air and it was suffocating like a fog that made his breathing weak.

He pulled Mother Lu away.

But, Mother Lu was a little annoyed by her son’s attitude, “Xuechen, what are you doing? I told you to go on a blind date but you said you didn’t want to end up like me and your father.”

She and Father Lu were married after meeting on a blind date and there was no love between the two.

Father Lu even had illegitimate children on the outside. Thus, her life revolved around Lu Xuechen inheriting the Lu Family business, his marriage, and his future children.

“…Wen Xinmei truly likes you. I’m sure you can tell. That’s why I was certain you wouldn’t end up like us if you got married to her. But then, you suddenly said you already had a girlfriend so I asked someone to run a brief investigation. Lin Jiayu may be from Baiyang City, and her family is also in Baiyang City, but she is the only daughter. If you marry her, then you won’t have to worry about fighting for the Lu Family’s inheritance with that sl*t and her illegitimate child.”

Lu Xuechen rubbed his forehead, “Things between us aren’t as simple as you think.”

“Are you and Jiayu arguing?” Mother Lu said with a frown.

She then affirmed her own thoughts, “That must be it. Otherwise, why would you not tell me that she’s pregnant? Unless, of course, you don’t want the child…”

Mother Lu did not look pleased, “You’re getting old, you can’t wait another few years before having a child. If you have this child, you won’t have to take care of it anyway. Son, whether it’s your appearance or your family background, the two of you are a match made in heaven. The most important thing is you like her.”

Lu Xuechen: “…”

He liked her? How did he like her? He hated cold women like Lin Jiayu the most.

But, were they really a good match?

A match made in heaven?

As he suppressed the awkwardness in his heart, Lu Xuechen laughed sarcastically, “Didn’t you always say that your daughter-in-law should be gentle and elegant? Her appearance is like the seductresses that you often talk about, though.”

Mother Lu hit her son in anger, “Nonsense, when did I say that? I simply said that you shouldn’t look for a calculative seductress that only wants to marry into a rich family in case she ends up like your father!! Although Jiayu isn’t my ideal choice, she has a good personality and she isn’t fake. Besides, she is already carrying the Lu Family’s child. You can’t delay any further. Hurry and invite her parents to Beijing so we can discuss your marriage.”

Lu Xuechen couldn’t say another word.

Why was Lin Jiayu pregnant? If he knew she was pregnant and things would turn into such a mess, he wouldn’t have asked her to pretend to be his girlfriend.

Now, it was great, they had gone too far to turn back.

…

After the mother and son left, Yu Gangan and Lin Jiayu both breathed a sigh of relief.

“Lu Xuechen will clarify everything, right??” Lin Jiayu couldn’t explain the strange feeling she felt inside.

She wanted to tell Mother Lu that the child wasn’t Lu Xuechen’s, but Mother Lu was so happy and excited, she felt bad to tell her.

She couldn’t be such a buzzkill.

This misunderstanding had gotten way out of hand. “I’m sure he’ll clarify things,” Yu Gangan nodded.

Otherwise, judging by Mother Lu’s personality, she would definitely force the two to get married.
