Rebirth: The Fake Young Lady Is A Real Young Lady Novel - Chapter 267

267 The Competition

Xia Chun quickly stepped forward and held Jiang Xue down. She said gently, “Xue, be careful, the child in your stomach is the Xiang family’s child.”

Xia Chun’s words directly made the Xiang family feel so aggrieved that they were speechless.

“President Xiang, why don’t my wife and I visit you again tomorrow to discuss this child?” Jiang Lun knew that Xiang Tian would not be easy to speak with currently, so he considerately arranged another time to talk.

Xiang Tian forced out a business-like smile and nodded, “Then I’ll be waiting for you tomorrow, President Jiang.”

!!
Jiang Lun smiled broadly and sent the Xiang family off.

As soon as he got home, Xiang Cheng knelt on the ground and begged for his father’s forgiveness. However, Xiang Tian was obviously in a rage.

Xiang Tian pointed at Xiang Cheng and scolded, “You disgraceful thing! How many times have I told you? Control your lower body and don’t cause any trouble. You just don’t understand, do you?”

Xiang Tian picked up a whip and whipped Xiang Cheng’s body, causing him to scurry away in the study.

“I didn’t want it either. Who knew I’d be so unlucky and get it on the first try.” Xiang Cheng also felt very aggrieved.

“You still dare to talk back? I’ll beat you to death!” Xiang Tian raised his whip and ruthlessly lashed it at Xiang Cheng.

Wang Yue, who was outside the study, was feeling downcast about Xiang Cheng and Jiang Xue. At the same time, she felt sorry for her son who was being beaten. Her hatred for Jiang Xue grew stronger and stronger.

Jiang Xue, who was in the hospital, had originally made a fuss about going back to the Xiang family with Xiang Cheng, but Xia Chun had used a lie regarding miscarriage to keep Jiang Xue in the hospital.

Jiang Xue had a good night’s sleep and returned to school the next day.

When Liu Cheng saw Jiang Xue, she immediately went up to her and asked with concern, “Xue, how’s your health? Is the baby you’re carrying alright?”

Jiang Xue quickly covered the outspoken Liu Cheng’s mouth and said angrily, “Lower your voice!”

However, it was too late. Some students nearby immediately gathered around and asked curiously, “Jiang Xue, do you have a child?”

Zhao Yuan was so dumbfounded that her jaw dropped. She interrupted in disbelief and asked, “Jiang Xue, didn’t you just get engaged to Xiang Cheng? I think it’s only been seven or eight days. How did you get pregnant? Can you find out? Tsk, tsk, tsk, you’re fast!”

“What do you know?” Liu Cheng said, displeased. “This is legal for Xue, and she’s already engaged to Xiang Cheng, so why can’t she get pregnant?”

Zhao Yuan pursed her lips and said in a strange tone, “Yes, yes, yes. They’re engaged, but I don’t know if it’s legal or not.”

Jiang Xue felt a little discomfited. Although she really wanted to get pregnant with Xiang Cheng’s child, she was still a student after all, so she was still somewhat embarrassed.

Jiang Xue pulled Liu Cheng back, not wanting her to continue spewing nonsense. However, she saw Su Ni’s expression from the side.

Su Ni hadn’t expected Jiang Xue to look at her all of a sudden. She didn’t have time to retract her sneer and Jiang Xue saw it. She even gave her a side glance.

Out of habit, Su Ni was flustered by Jiang Xue’s gaze.

Liu Cheng looked at Zhao Yuan with dissatisfaction and threatened, “Zhao Yuan, you’d better watch your mouth. Xue is pregnant with the Xiang Group’s child. If you continue to talk nonsense, be careful that the Xiang Group will make your family suffer!”

Zhao Yuan became a little afraid when she heard mention of the Xiang Group. She muttered a few words and no longer got involved in the topic of Jiang Xue’s pregnancy.

However, Shen Xi was currently very curious whether Jiang Xue was pregnant with Xiang Cheng’s child or Hao Zi’s child.

“By the way, Xi, there’s a drawing competition, are you going to participate? I remember that your drawing is quite good.” Zhao Yuan asked, pulling at Shen Xi.

Shen Xi shook her head. “I’m already in my third year of high school. I don’t want to participate in this kind of competition anymore.”

“Is it because you don’t want to participate or because your technique is not good enough and you’re afraid that you won’t be ranked?” Liu Cheng interrupted.

“We’re just chatting, why are you interrupting?” Zhao Yuan said with dissatisfaction. “Besides, with my Xi’s painting skills, it’ll be easy for her to get a good ranking.”

“Simple? Hahaha!” Liu Cheng laughed as if she had just heard a joke. “You don’t know, do you? This year’s Rong City Cup is sponsored by the Xiang family, and Old Master Xiang is one of the judges!”

Zhao Yuan had forgotten that every year, the Rong City Cup would be sponsored by an enterprise. She hadn’t expected it to be the Xiang Group that year.

Jiang Xue’s interest was piqued when she heard that it was sponsored by the Xiang family. “Are you saying that Grandpa Xiang is a judge?”

Liu Cheng nodded. “Yeah!”

Jiang Xue suddenly pretended to sigh and said, “Sigh, then what should I do? I’m participating in this too. If I win, I’m afraid people will say that I’m manipulating things behind the scenes.”
