I'm Pregnant with the Villain's Child

Chapter 4

Mother Lu hadn’t been happy with her son’s marriage to begin with. Beichuan and Ye Qing were mismatched in social status, and her son’s wife was also timid and cowardly. She was someone that didn’t have her own opinions. If it wasn’t because Old Master Lu had said this marriage would bring her son good luck, she would have never agreed to this marriage!

Moreover, these two had already been married for month, but Beichuan was still unconscious. It was obvious that this “good luck marriage” wasn’t effective at all!

Father Lu’s eyebrows furrowed. “Enough, it’s so early in the day. Isn’t the doctor upstairs and checking on him right now?

Mother Lu was silent for a moment. She lowered her voice as she spoke to her daughter-in-law, “Ye Qing, you need to remember all of Beichuan’s matters, regardless of their importance. If any issue comes up, you have to immediately inform the doctor and me. You should also learn more about medical massage techniques from the professional caretaker. Sooner or later, Beichuan will wake up. If you massaged him more often, it’ll help with his future recovery period.”

Ye Zhen had already lost count the number of times that Mother Lu had said these type of words to her. These words went in one ear and went out the other. “Okay, I’ll remember.”

“Let’s eat first.” Father Lu glanced at Mother Lu, then he gestured for Ye Zhen to sit down.

Ye Zhen sat down next to Mother Lu. The young man across the table looked at her with an enigmatic smile.

This improper young man had shifty-eyes and a face that was displeasing to look at.

Lu Beichuan’s father, Lu Shaoren, wasn’t a good person. He had a wife at home and fooled around with other women. He had plenty of illegitimate sons that were eager to climb up in social status. But, with a legitimate son like Lu Beichuan and a father like Old Master Lu, Lu Shaoren hadn’t dared to actually bring these sons home.

A year ago, Lu Beichuan had been in a car accident. The hospital had sent a written notice that Lu Beichuan was critically injured. Although Lu Beichuan’s life was saved, his mother almost died from the shock of hearing this news. Later on, when Lu Beichuan’s was diagnosed as a comatose person by the doctors, Father Lu brought home an illegitimate son he had with a lover, which was the young man sitting across from her today, Lu Beifan.

From Lu Beifan’s perspective, his half-brother was unconscious. A family as influential as the Lu family needed a successor to take on the heavy responsibilities. He thought that Old Master Lu could only turn a blind eye and accept him as a substitute.

However, based on his appearance, temperament, and general ineptness, he was merely a self-deluded fool. Being acknowledged as the Lu Family’s second young master wasn’t the same as becoming its successor.

Since Ye Zhen had married into this family, those narrow eyes hadn’t looked away from Ye Zhen’s body. He lusted after the beautiful Ye Zhen. Once, right in front of Lu Beichuan’s bed, Lu Beifan had even forcibly hugged Ye Zhen and called her unseemly endearments like sweetheart. Fortunately, Lu Beichuan was comatose and couldn’t feel or hear anything. Otherwise, if he had witnessed his wife and half-brother acting out this erotic scene so freely before him, he would have been angered to death.

However, in the novel, after Lu Beichuan woke up, this second young master’s ending was quite awful.

With Lu Beifan’s limited intelligence, he simply wasn’t a match for the ruthless villain.

As a servant was bringing over Ye Zhen’s breakfast, the servant heard Father Lu saying, “I’ve given you two months to familiarize yourself with the company’s business. You should be done with that task by now. After breakfast, come with me to the company.” Obviously, these words were said to Lu Beifan.

Lu Beifan beamed with joy. Being able to go to the company with Lu Shaoren meant that he was officially being recognized as his son as well as an acknowledgment that he was being training to become the company’s successor.

He suppressed his excitement. “Okay, dad.”

From her peripheral vision, Ye Zhen saw that Mother Lu was trembling, but trying her best to repress her reaction. Ye Zhen lowered her eyes.

During such a public scene, Mother Lu had to be magnanimous. She had to show understanding and be considerate of Lu family’s needs. More importantly, she had to uphold her husband’s dignity. Unlike a woman from a normal family, she couldn’t quarrel with her husband in front her daughter-in-law and her husband’s illegitimate son.

A wealthy and powerful family had many problems. Right now, Lu Beifan was immeasurably self-satisfied. But, once Lu Beichuan woke up, not just Lu Beifan, even Lu Shaoren wouldn’t be able to keep a foothold in the Lu family.

T/N: Hey guys, a reader (Miaka_Mei) pointed out in chapter 1’s comments that there’s an uncensored, unedited version of this novel on the aggregator websites vs the censored, edited version on the official publisher’s website that I was using. The main differences are that the any remotely sexual parts had been scrubbed clean on the official publisher’s website and sometimes a portion of the previous chapter will be moved to the beginning of the next chapter.

Anyways, I’ll be translating from the uncensored version starting next chapter for completeness.
