I'm In Love With the Guy I Grew Up With-Chapter 817: Engagement Banquet Turmoil 3

Before she could step forward, Song Zhiyang pulled her back, his smile as warm as sunshine, though it didn’t reach his eyes.

"Sister, come here. Let brother handle this for you."

The implication was clear: If Ji Yebai didn’t clarify things, the Song Family would take Ning Xixi away immediately!

Ji Yebai glanced at him enigmaticly, then looked towards Lu Jinjin with a gaze that suddenly turned dark and fierce!

"Lu Jinjin, do you really have a death wish? Fine, I’ll grant it for you!"

Lu Jinjin was so frightened by his intensely oppressive gaze that she retreated several steps, an inexplicable panic rising in her heart.

Could it be that her plan had gone wrong? Why did Ji Yebai’s gaze seem like he wanted to kill her?

No... She had slept with Ji Yebai, and now she was pregnant. She must seize this chance to marry into the Ji Family!

Lu Jinjin clutched her stomach, tearfully saying, "Brother Yebai, have you forgotten about that night at the Canglan Hotel, that night you... I couldn’t get out of bed for days afterwards, and now you are denying it?"

Such blatant words caused a stir among the onlookers.

Many people began discussing it with relish, and even Ning Xixi could vaguely hear phrases like "Young Master Ji is quite capable" and "that’s a multi-round night" and other lewd comments.

Ji Yebai sneered coldly, "Since you mentioned that night, Lu Jinjin — you can’t blame me for this."

The crowd suddenly perked up, was there going to be a reversal?

"Yes, I was indeed at the Canglan Hotel that night, but you set me up to anger me, then I took a drink from a waiter’s tray, and you drugged that drink..." Ji Yebai paused, causing the scene to become tumultuously loud, even Ning Xixi’s face turned pale.

Ji Yebai’s eyebrows were raised arrogantly, he always exuded such a domineering and unruly air.

Lu Qinghe realized something was wrong as she heard this, genuinely feeling for Lu Jinjin, she hurried forward to pull her, "Jinjin, stop spouting nonsense! Come with me!"

"Aunt, let me go!" Lu Jinjin forcefully pushed Lu Qinghe away, feeling that Lu Qinghe was blocking her from marrying into the Ji Family.

Lu Qinghe fell to the ground, looking mortified.

Although Lu Jinjin wasn’t very bright, she had a thick skin and didn’t mind being exposed, she said calmly, "Yes, I drugged you, so what? I did it all because I love you so much! Besides, I now have your child..." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"Love?" Ji Yebai sneered with a single word, emitting a frigid aura, causing those near him to back away, fearing they might get caught in the crossfire, "Don’t insult the word love! Don’t think I don’t know about your affair with Wen Sinian, you’re just trying to marry into the Ji Family because your plagiarism got exposed and the Lu Family can no longer provide you with the wealth and glory you had, right?"

As straightforward as it gets.

Feeling the prickling gaze of the crowd behind her, Lu Jinjin nervously clutched the hem of her white gauze dress.

"I don’t care, you have to take responsibility for me." Her words carried the petulant tone of a spoiled child, further worsening everyone’s impression of Lu Jinjin!

"Who’s responsible for your pregnancy, isn’t it only right to find them?" Ji Yebai said.

Lu Jinjin hadn’t yet processed this, blurting out, "Who else but you got me pregnant?"

Ji Yebai laughed.

When he’s angry, his smile is more frightening than none at all.

"Sorry, my body and soul are reserved for Ning Xixi. As for you — not even knowing who’s the father of your child, it’s utterly absurd and laughable!"
