Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 181 - 179 Return to Huo Garden

After a tense silence that lasted for three seconds, Mu Qingran’s eyes immediately reddened.

Although she knew Zhenyang didn’t want to marry her, she hadn’t expected him to be so heartless.

Before, Huo Zhenyang had at least tacitly allowed her to stay in Huo Garden, but now that Jiayi had returned, he actually wanted to drive her away?

She looked towards the only person who could make a decision at this moment, with extreme grievance, "Old Master."

Huo Tianpei had already turned red with anger and bellowed, "She’s carrying your child now, where do you intend to send her off to?"

Huo Zhenyang ignored the old master’s rage and shrugged, "Carrying my child? As I’ve said before, let’s do a paternity DNA test first, then we’ll discuss it."

Mu Qingran’s face tightened, and she looked pitifully at the old master.

Huo Tianpei became annoyed, "Haven’t I said before, Doctor Han has checked, Qingran has always been frail, and it’s already a blessing she can keep the child. Doing a paternity DNA test during pregnancy is very dangerous for the fetus, it’s not as simple as plucking a hair—it requires amniocentesis, and in serious cases, it can even lead to a miscarriage. Do you want my grandson to die in the womb?"

Yao Zhenru also chimed in, "Yes, Zhenyang, testing the fetus’s paternity DNA is not a matter to be taken lightly. Qingran’s health is not good as it is, what if it results in both her and the child’s death?"

One dead body and two lives? What do two dead bodies and four lives have to do with him? The coldness on the man’s face had already made clear his stance—he was indifferent to those who had nothing to do with him.

Mu Qingran leaned weakly into her maternal aunt’s embrace, sobbing with her nose turning red, "Zhenyang, even if you don’t consider me, think about the child. This is the Huo Family’s grandchild."

Jiayi pulled her small hand away from the man and slowly approached Mu Qingran.

"What do you want to do?" Fearing that Jiayi would rough up Mu Qingran, Yao Zhenru positioned herself protectively in front of Mu Qingran.

Although Huo Tianpei knew Jiayi was not a shrew, he was somewhat worried and stopped Jiayi from getting close to Mu Qingran, "Jiayi."

Jiayi didn’t get too close to Mu Qingran, her lips curving into a slight smile, "I’m amazed, Miss Mu. Your skin has thickened a few more layers over these months."

The statement was spoken gently, even sweetly, but its lethality was not low!

Mu Qingran was so infuriated that she felt dizzy, but with the old master and the others present, even if she wanted to tear Jiayi apart, she had to hold back!

With tears in her eyes, she widened them, feigning vulnerability, "I don’t understand what you mean."

Jiayi spoke deliberately, "Did pregnancy clog your brain? Let me translate for you. Someone else’s fiancée has come back, yet you still cling onto their home, forcing the man to marry you. Do you have no shame?"

With those words, even Huo Tianpei had nothing to say. Jiayi was right; she was still officially the fiancée of his son, having exchanged rings with him in front of the entire company. She definitely had the right to say such things.

Everyone also realized that Jiayi, who had returned to G City, seemed to have changed from before.

Mu Qingran clenched her teeth, her disdain undisguised, "You said it yourself, I’m pregnant. I’m carrying Zhenyang’s child, the Huo Family’s grandson. Why can’t I stay here? What are you and Zhenyang, pretending to be fiancees? Don’t think we don’t know! The old man knew it a long time ago! You are just a girl with a mysterious background, who doesn’t even know her own name! Zhenyang picked you up from a hunting ground to please the old man by pretending you were his girlfriend! Your engagement was probably also a charade to appease the old man! It’s all fake! The child in my belly is the real deal!"

Hearing this, Huo Tianpei also chided softly, "Jiayi, enough. I don’t understand why you’ve come back. As for your engagement, I have explained it to the guests who attended the celebration that day. It was not made public. Apart from the corporation and a few major partners, no one else knows. Perhaps it’s best to let the matter of the engagement drop."

Yao Zhenru also lifted her lip, interjecting, "That’s right. The old man is going to arrange for Qingran and Zhenyang to get married. What kind of fiancée are you, not legitimate at all. I think it’s best for you to leave quickly."

One of the reasons Jiayi was reluctant to return was because she disliked facing such scenes, but since she had chosen to come back, she was well-prepared and feared nothing.

A faint smile played on her lips as she lifted her cheeks, facing the barrage of accusations fearlessly.

Huo Zhenyang had been quietly enjoying the outburst from this Little Kitten, but now he stepped forward, shielding her with his tall frame. A shadow immediately cast over the entire dining hall and with a furrowed brow, his tone cold as ice,

"Who says it doesn’t count? Has anyone asked for my opinion? The person she is engaged to isn’t any one of you, it’s me."

Instant silence fell in the living room.

Jiayi began softly, "If Miss Mu is truly carrying Zhenyang’s child, I, as his fiancée, am willing to step aside graciously. But if not..."

She glanced at Mu Qingran, the corner of her mouth curling in a way that made Mu Qingran inexplicably tremble.

Mu Qingran shivered, paling. This despicable woman, her purpose in returning must be to force a DNA test. Could she have already learned something? No, that couldn’t be possible.

She swayed, feigning frailty, "Old Master, it’s not that I’m opposed to taking a DNA test if Jiayi insists, but Dr. Han has said that I’m not in good health and this pregnancy is unstable. I’m just afraid it won’t be good for the child..."

Hearing this, Huo Tianpei’s tone tightened, "We cannot take any chances with the Huo Family’s grandson. If anything goes wrong, regret won’t be an option. I won’t let you upset my grandson with your jealousy and quarrels. We won’t do the test for now!"

Mu Qingran breathed a sigh of relief internally, huh, with the old man placing so much importance on the precious grandson in her belly, what did she have to fear with him at her back?!

At this time, Huo Tianpei had already made up his mind, looking at Huo Zhenyang, "I’ve thought it through a long time ago. It’s just you haven’t been home much these few months, so I haven’t had the chance to speak to you. Now that you’re back and everyone is here, let me make it clear, Qingran is about to give birth. I can’t let my first grandchild be born nameless and illegitimate. Qingran can’t wait, you will get your marriage certificate with Qingran within half a month and go ahead with the wedding. After the marriage, once the child is born, we can discuss the DNA test then! Otherwise, I won’t hand over full control of the company to you!"

Mu Qingran was overjoyed, her palms almost sweaty.

What the old man said at Huo Garden was as good as an imperial edict. Zhenyang wasn’t that foolish; even though he and the old man were distant, he would never directly oppose the old man.

When Huo Tianpei uttered this threat to his son, he was actually quite nervous.

He knew well that his son had changed and was no longer the young man who had just taken the CEO position.

Over the years, in the highest commanding position of the corporation, he had done not only legitimate business but also many underground dealings that he himself wouldn’t have dared to engage in as a younger man.
