The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 923 - 440

Regarding her own pregnancy, Lu Xinyi truly didn’t know how to break the news to her parents. Several times, she almost spoke up but swallowed her words upon looking at Father Lu and Mother Lu.

How could she say, "Mom, Dad, something happened—I’m pregnant"?

Or how could she tell them about everything that had happened to her? She really didn’t know how to start.

Even at the beginning when she found out about her pregnancy, she wasn’t ready to keep the baby. And if she wasn’t going to have the baby, there was no need to tell her parents about it at all.

"What? You knew Xinyi was pregnant?"

"What? Xinyi, you’re really pregnant?" Mother Lu and Lu Hongmei both exclaimed in unison, although their words differed. One was addressing Xiao Xuyang, the other Lu Xinyi.

Fortunately, Lu Xinyi was on the top floor where no one passed by; otherwise, the commotion they were making would undoubtedly attract onlookers.

"If there’s something to talk about, come inside. Standing at the door, what does it look like?" Father Lu’s face had already turned sour.

How could it not? His daughter wasn’t married yet, still in school, and suddenly he was told she was pregnant. His face couldn’t possibly look any good.

Once Father Lu had spoken, Mother Lu and the others knew discussing such matters at the door wasn’t appropriate. They didn’t want people to overhear and spread it all over the neighborhood.

Once inside the house, Mother Lu closed the door.

Father Lu sat on the sofa with a stern look and not a trace of a smile, and Lu Hongmei wisely took a seat next to her brother, Father Lu, not daring to speak anymore.

"What exactly happened?" Father Lu asked Lu Xinyi with a grave voice.

The stern questioning from her father made Lu Xinyi’s shoulders shake involuntarily in fright.

Xiao Xuyang, seeing this, felt unbearably heartbroken. "Uncle."

"I’m asking her, not you." Father Lu looked at Lu Xinyi sternly.

"Dad, I..." Lu Xinyi truly didn’t know how to open up to her parents and her Aunt about these matters. She was never the eloquent type.

Xiao Xuyang knew Lu Xinyi didn’t know how to start talking, and besides, such a matter was difficult for a girl to articulate. "Uncle, please calm down. The situation with Xinyi and me is not what you think it is. None of this is Xinyi’s fault."

"If it’s not her fault, then how did this premarital pregnancy happen? She’s still a student." Father Lu was genuinely furious.

"Brother, calm down. Don’t be too quick to scold Xinyi. You know what kind of girl she is. She’s well-behaved and wouldn’t normally do such outrageous things. Someone must have led her astray." Saying this, Lu Hongmei glared fiercely at Xiao Xuyang.

Certainly, her niece must have been charmed by this boy’s good looks and deceived. Just a moment ago, she was nearly fooled by his face herself.

The look in Aunt Lu’s eyes made Xiao Xuyang almost at a loss for words.

Father Lu also took in Lu Hongmei’s words, "Then tell me, what exactly happened?"

Originally, if Aunt Lu hadn’t shown up, Xiao Xuyang’s visit to the Lu Family was not only to visit Lu Xinyi’s parents but also to lay everything out in the open. So, Xiao Xuyang relayed the whole story from start to finish to Father Lu, Mother Lu, and Aunt Lu.

After hearing Xiao Xuyang finish, both Aunt Lu and Mother Lu were somewhat unable to process it. It was all too much for them to take in.

"Is everything he said true?" Father Lu furrowed his brow even deeper after hearing the whole situation from Xiao Xuyang.

Lu Xinyi bit her lip, her eyes reddened. She struggled to hold back the tears that threatened to fall. She nodded slightly and softly murmured an "Mhm." She dared not speak too much, afraid that if she said anything, she wouldn’t be able to hold back her tears.

These recent events, she dared not speak about them to anyone, and had no one to confide in. All the grievances and fears, she had to bear alone.

"My goodness, how can girls these days be so bad, to scheme like this?" Lu Hongmei patted her chest, speaking shakily: "Thank goodness Xinyi ran into him. Oh, that’s right, young man, what’s your name again?" Lu Hongmei just remembered she didn’t know the young man’s name.

"Xiao Xuyang."

"Oh, Xiao Xuyang. Lucky it was Xiao Xuyang she ran into. If it were one of those men in their forties or fifties, Xinyi would really have cause to cry." Lu Hongmei’s thought process sometimes really was different from that of Father Lu and Mother Lu.

Now, with already dark expressions due to everything, Father Lu and Mother Lu looked even worse upon considering Lu Hongmei’s words.

"No, this can’t do. I have to go to the school and speak to your teachers. This can’t be left as is." The more Father Lu thought about it, the angrier he got. His daughter had been schemed against, and if he didn’t do something about it, he wouldn’t be able to sleep at night.

And Mother Lu, seeing her daughter’s state, felt an indescribable heartache. "Indeed, we have to talk with her teachers. We can’t just let this go."

"Auntie, Uncle, please don’t get worked up. I definitely won’t let this matter go just like that. Whoever dared to scheme against Xinyi will have to pay the price. But for now, Xinyi is pregnant, and if this isn’t handled properly, the gossip could hurt Xinyi’s reputation. So, I thought, once Xinyi and I settle our situation, then I’ll deal with the person who harmed Xinyi." Xiao Xuyang had thought through many things in advance.

No one is allowed to touch his woman.

Hearing Xiao Xuyang’s words, Father Lu’s anger cooled somewhat, and he no longer felt the earlier impulse. His opinion of Xiao Xuyang changed. This young man really was different, truly the son of Xiao Muli and Situ Xin.

Indeed, how important a woman’s reputation is! If they went to the school and caused a fuss now, the things that happened would definitely spread. Those behind the harm to his daughter would certainly receive their punishment, perhaps be expelled from the school. In turn, the story of his daughter being drugged would also spread.

Father Lu could just imagine how foul the rumors would be if they were to circulate.

"You’ve thought this through thoroughly," said Father Lu.

"Uncle, leave the matter with Xinyi to me," Xiao Xuyang told Father Lu.

"Alright, you handle it." Father Lu had always liked Xiao Xuyang, and now he liked him even more.

"Now that our Xinyi is carrying your child, how do you plan to handle this?" Aunt Lu always caught on to completely different things than others. To be honest, Lu Hongmei was not very optimistic about Xiao Xuyang.

Looking good is useless, it’s not something you can eat.
