Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!-Chapter 831 - 382: Taking a Gamble

During this period, Qiao Wan’s days have been very difficult.

Yu Fuce has completely lost contact.

Her past was completely uncovered, and the good image she maintained vanished overnight, her reputation turned black as coal.

Moreover, the rumors about her pregnancy stirred up a storm, the public condemned her, and her once-mighty fan base took a devastating blow, almost all fans left. Only a portion of die-hard fans were still struggling to support her, defending her like machines on various forums, but this only attracted more ridicule.

Qiao Wan prided herself most on her business advertisements, which enhanced her fashionable image. However, these days, due to the negative news, some advertisers chose not to renew their contracts, and a few national advertisers even directly announced the termination of her endorsement.

This treated her directly as a tainted artist.

Qiao Wan couldn’t understand how it had come to this point.

Lin Yan, however, knew very well that many of Qiao Wan’s fashion resources were gained through men. Furthermore, with her bad temper and arrogance, brands had long been dissatisfied with her. They just dared not speak out due to her powerful background.

Now, with the worldwide negative rumors beyond control, brands were clear that either her financial backer had fallen, or she had been abandoned by the backer. The seeds she sowed would now bear bitter fruit.

Qiao Wan had never suffered such grievances before; she was so angry that she smashed things at home every day, and there was hardly a place to step without broken things.

Lin Yan said helplessly, "That’s not all, the leading role in the new play I got for you has been replaced by Luo Nanyi."

Qiao Wan nearly lost her balance, "What did you say?"

What was more unbearable than being replaced was that the role went to her arch-enemy.

"Nana, you’ve offended someone. The road ahead will be even harder."

Qiao Wan gritted her teeth, "Who exactly is going against me...?"

Lin Yan said cautiously, "The person who hates you the most and has the ability to do this, I can only think of one possibility..."

Qiao Wan’s expression was gloomy and terrifying, clearly she had guessed it too.

Qiao Wan gently stroked her lower abdomen, her eyebrows and eyes full of pride, "She is just a hen that cannot lay eggs, unable to tie a man’s body and heart, jealous of me, and struck me maliciously. Since she’s leaving me and my child no way out, I see no need to be merciful."

Lin Yan watched Qiao Wan’s unpredictable face with fear in her heart, "Nana, listen to me. You should go and abort the child. We can start over."

"Don’t be naive. She will never let me go. It’s a family you can’t imagine, and my child will be the only heir."

Ambition and desire flashed in Qiao Wan’s eyes.

Before she could enjoy her success for three seconds, Qiao Wan suddenly furrowed her brows and clutched her stomach painfully.

Blood trickled down her legs, and Qiao Wan looked terrified, "Quick... take me to the hospital, the child mustn’t have any issues."

Lin Yan dared not delay for a moment and took Qiao Wan to a private hospital. The examination results were not good; Qiao Wan’s baby had signs of threatened abortion.

"Doctor, no matter how much it costs, please save my child."

"Miss Qiao, according to the examination results, there’s a fifty percent chance that it’s the embryo’s problem, such as chromosomal abnormalities. It’s highly likely related to the quality of the male’s sperm. In such cases, it’s meaningless to keep the baby, as it will ultimately abort naturally due to the natural law of survival of the fittest."

Lin Yan instinctively looked at Qiao Wan. What kind of man did she find, who not only shirked responsibility and disappeared but whose sperm quality couldn’t even keep a child?

Qiao Wan’s face was as pale as paper, her thin lips tightly pursed, and tears streamed down her stubborn eyes.

She looked pitiful and helpless.

Qiao Wan murmured, "What do I have to do to keep this child?"

The doctor, seeing her pain, sighed, "Mingren Hospital’s gynecology department has a long heritage and offers excellent miscarriage prevention methods. If you truly want to keep this child, you can try going there."

Qiao Wan, without delay, transferred hospitals and found the top gynecologists at Mingren Hospital to preserve her pregnancy.

Mingren Hospital’s gynecology department lived up to its reputation. Within three days, Qiao Wan’s child was stabilized. Of course, the doctor had given her a heads-up in advance: this child was not easy to sustain. Besides following medical advice and taking medication on time, resting and preserving the pregnancy, she must control her emotions. If she got agitated, not even a Daluo Golden Immortal could save her child.

Qiao Wan stayed in Mingren Hospital’s gynecology department for more than twenty days. Finally, the latest check-up showed the fetus was doing well and developing healthily.

Qiao Wan’s heart finally settled.

These days, she focused entirely on preserving the pregnancy, her phone confiscated by Lin Yan, living a simple and untainted life, forcing herself not to think too much. After securing the child, the first person she contacted was Hong Lei.

Hong Lei, ever since being intimidated by Mei Qingdai, didn’t want to handle Qiao Wan’s matters and had been enjoying leisure time alone.

But he was used to being idle, and in the past, it was Qiao Wan who earned money for him. Recently, due to Qiao Wan’s entanglement with negative news, company stocks plummeted, losing him a lot, and he didn’t have much spare money on hand. He was worried about making money.

Qiao Wan knew his character well and tempted him with benefits.

"The child in my belly will be the only heir to the Yu family, Mr. Hong. This merit is always on my mind, and if one day my child takes over the Yu family..."

Hong Lei’s eyes lit up, leaving a cliffhanger, "Miss Qiao, the child in your belly may not be the only heir to the Yu family."

He deliberately emphasized the word "only."

Qiao Wan frowned, "What do you mean?"

"Mei Qingdai is pregnant."

Qiao Wan blurted out instinctively, "How is that possible?"

She had been married to Yu Fuce for ten years without getting pregnant. How could she be pregnant now?

"Casually acquired news, do I need to lie to you?"

Qiao Wan cursed inwardly, that bastard Yu Fuce, what was he working so hard for?

But soon she remembered the doctor’s words and smirked slightly, "So what if she’s pregnant? Whether she can carry it to term is another story."

Hong Lei laughed, "I like your smartness, let me tell you another piece of news. The Old Madam of the Yu family passed away immediately upon hearing this good news. Now there are rumors that this child’s fate caused Old Madam Yu’s death."

Qiao Wan thought it was truly divine help.

"Mr. Hong, why don’t we cooperate? In the future, whatever my child owns, you’ll have a share too."

"Deal."

Qiao Wan hung up the phone and sat on the bed for a long time.

She gently stroked her belly, murmuring, "Son, for the future of both of us, mommy has to take a gamble."

The Yu family could destroy her as easily as crushing an ant; she could not just sit and wait for death.

First, she must not hide; otherwise, if one day she disappeared, no one would know.

She had to step into the sunlight, in front of everyone, letting everyone in Jingzhou know that Qiao Wan was carrying Yu Fuce’s child.

That woman cared about reputation and would not dare harm her easily.

After this incident, her reputation was completely tarnished, so she might as well go all out.

She was going to make a big scene, the crazier, the better, until everyone knew.

Would a barefoot person fear those wearing shoes in the Yu family, besides, it was Yu Fuce who wronged her first. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

The child in her belly was her only weapon.

And Old Madam Yu’s funeral was the perfect opportunity.
