Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 340 - 338: Wedding Swap

Xuan Yu was shocked, rushed over, and snatched the fruit knife from her daughter’s hand, throwing it fiercely onto the carpet: "Xinyue! Have you lost your mind! What are you doing—"

Chu Xinyue’s once plump cheeks, now thinned significantly over the past few days, bore the trace of a smile, yet this smile was sadder than sadness itself:

"Mommy, don’t worry, I won’t do something foolish. Even if I don’t, this body of mine won’t last much longer, so why bother with redundancy? I just want to forget that he’s getting married tomorrow. If my body hurts a little, I can ignore the discomfort in my heart..."

Seeing her daughter using self-harm to numb herself, Xuan Yu felt as if a knife was cutting through her heart as she looked at the knife wounds on Chu Xinyue’s delicate hands.

Especially when Xinyue said, "Even if I don’t do something foolish, this body of mine won’t last much longer," it made Xuan Yu’s heart ache even more.

Indeed, Xinyue’s congenital heart disease meant she might not even live to see twenty-five. What in this world could she not grant her daughter? 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

As Xuan Yu bandaged her daughter with gauze, she had already made up her mind, grit her teeth, and said, "Rest assured, Mommy will definitely help you fulfill your wish."

With that, she left her daughter’s room.

She calmed herself down and called for her confidant servant, giving a few instructions.

Upon hearing, although the servant was surprised, she still hastily left the Chu Family to carry out the lady’s orders.

After arranging everything, it was getting late. When Xuan Yu went downstairs, dinner had already ended, and Chu Yanhan had returned to the study to work.

Having made her decision, Xuan Yu went straight into the study.

Seeing his wife enter without knocking, Chu Yanhan lifted his head from the desk, his brows frowning slightly. This was unlike Xuan Yu’s usual behavior, but he still asked, "What’s the matter? You disappeared after going upstairs. Didn’t you call Jiayi down for dinner? She’s getting married tomorrow; she can’t go hungry today..."

"Tomorrow a wedding will indeed take place, but it’s not Jiayi and Ya Chen who will be getting married," Xuan Yu stated slowly and clearly.

Chu Yanhan’s expression froze: "What do you mean?"

A cold smile played on Xuan Yu’s lips: "Jiayi is pregnant. Why didn’t you tell me about such a big matter? Since that’s the case, Jiayi can’t marry Ya Chen anymore."

Jiayi had been hospitalized for a few days, and her husband had taken care of her. He must certainly be aware of her condition.

Chu Yanhan was startled upon realizing that Xuan Yu knew. His face changed: "Why can’t she marry Ya Chen now?"

"Heh, we both know whose child is in her belly," she said.

Chu Yanhan’s brow furrowed deeply: "What does it matter? Jiayi has regained her memory, suffers from short-term memory loss, doesn’t remember Mr. Huo, and there’s also no need to tell her about the child just yet. I’ve spoken to the hospital, and no one will know about Jiayi being pregnant! Once Jiayi marries Ya Chen, the child will belong to the Ya Family. Isn’t everyone happy with that? In the beginning, you were the one desperately wanting Jiayi to replace Xinyu and marry Ya Chen, so why are you stopping it now?"

Xuan Yu snorted: "Heh, Jiayi has just sent Xiaxia to buy a pregnancy test. She already knows she’s pregnant!"

Jiayi knows? Chu Yanhan was taken aback.

Xuan Yu continued, "If she didn’t know she was pregnant, that would be one thing, but now that she does and thinks the child is Ya Chen’s, what if she asks him a few questions? The Ya Family will realize the Chu Family deliberately married off a daughter carrying a bastard child to them! The relationship between the Chu Family and the Ya Family will be completely destroyed! Yanhan, you’ve been too bold!"

Chu Yanhan was also banking on luck, given that the wedding was only a few days away, but he had not anticipated that Jiayi would discover her pregnancy before the marriage.

He fell silent for a while, "Now, the press releases for the Crown Prince of the Ya Family’s wedding have all been prepared, and they’ll be published first thing tomorrow morning, by media all over the country and even internationally. Even if we wanted to call off this wedding, it’s too late... The best I can do is to talk to Jiayi ahead of time, have her hide it from Ya Chen. The Ya Family won’t find out—"

As he spoke, he stood up, circled around from the desk, ready to head to Jiayi’s room.

Xuan Yu’s voice was cold, stopping him, "No need, Yanhan. I have already informed the Ya Family about Jiayi’s pregnancy."

Chu Yanhan stopped in his tracks, a vein throbbed, as he stared at his wife in disbelief, "What? Have you lost your mind? You told the Ya Family that Jiayi is pregnant? Are you sick?!"

Xuan Yu snorted, "Don’t worry, I merely tried to salvage the relationship between the Ya Family and the Chu Family in advance, which is better than having them find out afterwards and not be able to salvage it at all. I’ve sent someone to apologize to Ya Qianhuai, saying that we had no idea when Jiayi had become pregnant. Under these circumstances, it’s clear that Jiayi can’t marry into the Ya Family anymore, but since we’ve already notified the media and significant figures in the country about tomorrow’s wedding, we certainly can’t cancel it, as that would embarrass the Ya Family. The wedding must proceed as planned, and it will still be a daughter of the Chu Family."

Chu Yanhan’s heart skipped a beat, "You—Who are you planning to substitute in Jiayi’s place for tomorrow’s wedding with Ya Chen?"

Without hesitation, Xuan Yu replied, "Xinyue."

Chu Yanhan was surprised, "Xinyue has congenital heart disease. The Ya Family will never agree!"

"If we had recommended Xinyue during the previous banquet, the Ya Family would definitely not have agreed, but now, with no time left, a replacement is urgently needed for the wedding. Any daughter of the Chu Family will do. Can the Ya Family afford to haggle now? There’s also no issue with the news release. We’ll just need to notify the domestic media overnight, make the announcement a bit ambiguous, and change ’the third young miss of the Chu Family’ to ’Miss Chu Family’ on the press release, and that’s it."

The Royal Family’s dignity is paramount, and with the wedding announcements already sent out, the ceremony must go on as scheduled tomorrow!

Xuan Yu was certain that Ya Qianhuai would agree!

Chu Yanhan took in a sharp breath and slumped into a chair, witnessing once again his wife’s scheming, even daring to threaten the Royal Family.

At that moment, the servant who had been sent out returned, knocking on the door, and spoke from the entryway of the study, "Madam, the nineteenth King has agreed. They only hope that you don’t reveal the news for the time being to the Crown Prince. He’s always been set on marrying the third young miss, and now that it’s being changed to the second, he might oppose it. It’s better to wait until the wedding is over in the church to let him know."

Xuan Yu exhaled a sigh of relief and raised her eyebrow, "Understood."

Although she had resolved a major issue, Xuan Yu was still worried. She couldn’t imagine how much humiliation Xinyue would suffer in the days to come once Ya Chen found out his bride was not Jiayi.

However, this was Xinyue’s own wish; perhaps to her, this humiliation was something she was willing to bear.

After all, it’s better to forcibly enter the church with the man, even if he doesn’t love you, than to watch him walk into the chapel with another woman.

The fruit of a forced marriage isn’t sweet, but it’s still better than not having that fruit at all.

Just like how, in the past, she resorted to every possible means, even using her family’s power and the disgrace of getting pregnant before marriage, to snatch Chu Yanhan from that woman from China, and did everything in her power to separate them.

Now, she would also help her daughter win over the man she loved.
