Chapter 333 Hidden Secret
Seeing Tan Rong's excited expression, Yu Baisu's heart skipped a beat, and an uneasy feeling spread through her. She carefully examined Tan Rong, trying to recall a scene from their past encounter, but she couldn't. Was it because so much time had passed and she had forgotten, or...?
Next, Tan Rong's words struck Yu Baisu like a thunderbolt.
“I remember now, back in the US, I attended a swimming party, and I saw you there. You were with…”
Before Tan Rong could finish speaking, Yu Baisu suddenly clutched her stomach with one hand, grabbed Ye Chengyan's arm in pain, and slid to the ground. Cold sweat streamed down her forehead. "Ah, Ah Yan, my stomach hurts, I, my stomach hurts."
As soon as Yu Baisu finished speaking, she closed her eyes and fell backward weakly. Fortunately, Ye Chengyan caught her, otherwise, if her head had hit the ground, she might have suffered a concussion.
"Yu Baisu! Susu!" Ye Chengyan's dark eyes were full of worry and concern. He gently shook Yu Baisu's body, but she did not respond. Ye Chengyan was so concerned that he picked Yu Baisu up in his arms and walked quickly outside, not even paying attention to Ye Ze, who was still uncomfortable on the sofa.
Ye Ze was still just a child. Watching Ye Chengyan's departing figure, his eyes reddened and tears streamed down his face. He was nothing like the person who had just been making a fuss about not wanting to go back and wanting to stay here.
Yunzhi glanced at it and pretended not to see it, but Tan Rong shook his head with a tsk tsk. "The saying 'with a stepmother comes a stepfather' is indeed true. When President Ye left, he didn't even look at his son. I think Young Master Ye is still sick. This is because Yu Baisu doesn't have children yet. If she has children, will she still have a place in this family?"
Tan Rong's voice wasn't quiet, and Ye Ze heard it clearly. Originally, Ye Ze was just crying silently, but when he heard Tan Rong say that, his fear overcame his grievances, and he burst into tears.
"Did I say something wrong?" Tan Rong belatedly realized what she had said and looked at Ye Ze with some confusion, then at Yun Zhi.
Yunzhi gave Tan Rong a thumbs up in her heart. If you can talk, then talk more. She thought she would dislike Tan Rong, but unexpectedly, Tan Rong's temper was to her liking. At least her naturally naive nature could inadvertently deliver a fatal blow to Ye Ze and Yu Baisu.
However, we still need to put on a show.
Yunzhi walked to Ye Ze's side and comforted him with a few words. The gist of her message was that Ye Ze was his father's only child, so how could he not like him? He was just anxious this time, and his father would definitely come back to pick him up once he calmed down.
Yunzhi was just offering this casual words of comfort.
Ye Ze, like a pitiful little animal, clung to Yun Zhi's chest, sobbing. His tears and snot smeared all over Yun Zhi. Yun Zhi used all her willpower to suppress herself from pushing the dirty Ye Ze away, but these clothes were no longer acceptable.
[Host, Yu Baisu is pregnant.]
The system suddenly appeared at this moment, and its simple words almost made Yunzhi choke on her saliva.
'What did you say?' she almost yelled.
No, Yu Baisu is pregnant?
[Host, Yu Baisu has become suspicious, so Ye Ze is no longer Ye Chengyan's only child.] The system thought Yun Zhi hadn't heard clearly, so it repeated itself.
This time, Yunzhi heard clearly. She thought of Yu Baisu clutching her stomach in pain when she fainted, and she immediately laughed. Yu Baisu probably already knew that she was pregnant. Even if she couldn't be sure, she should have some feeling. The child in her belly was probably Yu Baisu's last trump card.
It's really interesting. In their past life, Ye Chengyan and Yu Baisu were inseparable for so long, yet Yu Baisu never got pregnant. In this life, while they're not exactly at odds, they're certainly not as loving as they were in their past life, but Yu Baisu has gotten pregnant.
She glanced down at Ye Ze, who was still sobbing in her arms. Ye Ze, provoked by Tan Rong, was probably the one who couldn't accept that she was about to have a half-brother. She still vividly remembered Ye Ze's cruel methods in her previous life, and she was afraid that Yu Baisu would have to experience them herself in this life. She hoped that Yu Baisu could endure it for a longer time in this life.
So Yu Baisu really did have a stomachache and fainted just now?
Yunzhi initially thought that Yu Baisu had pretended to faint because she heard Tan Rong say something that couldn't be said. Could it be that she had misunderstood Yu Baisu?
No, she was faking fainting; her stomach doesn't hurt.
The system's answer made Yunzhi's smile gradually widen.
Even when Bai's father exposed Yu Baisu's true colors, Yu Baisu didn't use the child's fainting to avoid trouble. But Tan Rong had just started talking when Yu Baisu fainted. It seems that what Tan Rong wanted to say next was Yu Baisu's most secret that couldn't be revealed.
Seeing that Ye Chengyan had left, Tan Rong thought her chances were over and sighed. Just as she was about to leave, Yun Zhi suddenly called out to her, "Miss Tan, you just said that Yu Baisu looked familiar. Where have you seen Yu Baisu before?"
Yunzhi really wanted to hear how amazing it was that she had tricked Yu Baisu into revealing his ultimate move with just a few words.
Tan Rong paused, turned around and looked at Yun Zhi's curious gaze. She hesitated and glanced at the man standing beside Yun Zhi like a knight. Thinking of her current predicament, she opened her mouth.
“Miss Yun, I can tell you, but I don’t know if you can help me get through this dangerous situation. Of course, I don’t mean to threaten you, I’m begging you.”
Tan Rong hit a wall and knew the pain. His originally arrogant attitude became extremely humble. Yun Zhi hesitated for two seconds and nodded before Cheng Shuyan could speak.
"Sure, but only if your Tan family can turn around its reputation and show everyone your determination to change before I can help you. Our Yun Group has a fairly large real estate company in Y Province, with more than a dozen communities under development or already completed. We can transfer the property management rights of these communities to your company."
“Y Province…” Tan Rong hesitated and glanced at Cheng Shuyan. Y Province was not their base, and it was not far from Hai City. She was worried that her employees would not be willing to go, since their families were all in Hai City. Moreover, even a powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake, and no one knew the situation there.
“Ms. Tan, your company needs to break down the old ways before it can be established. I’ve already given you a solution, but if you’re not willing, there’s nothing I can do. Anyway, I just want to hear some gossip, and it won’t affect me if I don’t.” Yunzhi shrugged, looking indifferent.
