Chapter 797: Chapter 797: The child in my belly is not yours
Lin Xifei’s face was as pale as joss paper.
Her lips were trembling, her voice quivered uncontrollably: "I..."
She looked extremely frightened, her fingers clutching her clothes.
Zhong Lingxiao comfortingly patted her shoulder, "Don’t be afraid of him. He’s just a mad dog. I’m very sure the child in your belly is mine. He’s just trying to bully whoever he can catch."
Lin Xifei bit her lip, struggling to break free from his embrace.
Her steps were somewhat frantic, maintaining a safe distance from him.
Her eyes slightly evasive.
Zhong Lingxiao felt an itch in his palm, a bad feeling silently rising in his heart.
Zhong Yi chuckled lightly: "Miss Lin, tell everyone. Who is the father of the child in your belly?"
"I... I..."
Zhong Yi was not in a hurry at all.
But Zhong Lingxiao’s eyes stared at her, as if hearing denial from her mouth would tear her apart.
The others also sensed something amiss.
Lin Xifei, clutching her child, said, "The child in my belly... isn’t yours."
Zhong Lingxiao’s face was livid: "Say that again!"
Lin Xifei took a deep breath, summoning all the courage she had in her life and shouted: "Ayao and I are deeply in love. But fearing your overwhelming power might force me to submit, I have feigned compliance. I love Ayao, and the child in my belly is Ayao’s. Young Master Zhong, please spare us, let me go! The paternity test was done by me and Young Master Zhong together, and it is real."
Her words caused an uproar throughout the room.
The child of Young Master Zhong was not his own, and today... it was all a joke.
"You dare betray me, you wretch!"
Zhong Lingxiao’s head buzzed, a rush of hot blood surged up and he strode forward to catch Lin Xifei for explanation.
Wan Jiang protected Lin Xifei, not allowing her to suffer harm.
"Young Master, this is the ancestral hall, you should mind your manners."
"Even a servant dares to block me!"
Zhong Lingxiao lost all demeanor, his face almost twisted. His father Zhong Hongfei also pointed at Lin Xifei and cursed: "Little slut! There is a price for betraying the Zhong Family, how dare you bring the bastard in your belly to kneel before our ancestors."
This was utter rebellion!
Lin Xifei hid further back, tears streaming down. Even though she had known this day would come, it still terrified her.
She was most familiar with Zhong Lingxiao’s temper.
If caught by him, it would surely be worse than death. noveldrama
The Old Master coughed twice, his face almost black-green.
He slowly walked up to Zhong Yi and asked: "Did you know all along?"
"Yes." Zhong Yi met his gaze, eyes clear.
"Then why didn’t you say so earlier?" The Old Master was half buried, deeply valuing these matters. His heart ached, but he forcibly withstood it without showing.
Zhong Yi retorted: "Would you believe me? Even with the paternity test laid in front of you, nobody believed me. And when Lin Xifei was kowtowing to the ancestors, I tried to stop her. But my elder brother and father ridiculed me, so there was nothing I could do."
Trust was absent in this family.
"The Big Brother has always been thorough. How could his woman be pregnant with another’s child?"
"Old Master, you shouldn’t be asking me that. It’s been said that Big Brother forced her, otherwise, she would have eloped with her lover."
"Zhong Yi!"
Zhong Lingxiao’s veins popped, "This is all your scheming! You bribed this wretch! You just waited for today... to humiliate me!"
Zhong Yi really held his composure, pretending to be that despondent just to take revenge!
Really extremely hateful!
"Do you have any evidence?" Zhong Yi nonchalantly questioned, "Would you convict someone just with your mouth without evidence?"
"But you knew Lin Xifei..."
"Yes, I knew, but that doesn’t mean I did it."
Zhong Lingxiao nearly spat blood in anger.
Zhong Yi turned to the thin old man and asked: "Old Master, is this your chosen heir? Really impressive!"
The Old Master just felt a bloody taste spreading from his mouth, and he fell straight down.
"Old Master!"
"Old Master, what’s wrong with you! Zhong Yi, you unfilial descendant, actually angered the Old Master! Today I will represent the Zhong Family and disown you!" Zhong Hongfei took the chance to declare that he would oust Zhong Yi from the Zhong Family.
Things had reached this point, so it could only be resolved quickly.
"Bring the family register!"
"This..."
Zhong Hongfei fetched the family register from a nearby tray, and with a brush dipped in ink, drew a harsh line over Zhong Yi’s name.
"From today, Zhong Yi will no longer be part of the Zhong Family!"
"Someone send the Old Master to the hospital!"
He did not forget to stuff those three seals from the tray into Zhong Lingxiao’s hand, "The Old Master just favored Lingxiao as the heir. If unfortunately the Old Master does not survive this time, then the Zhong Family will be controlled by Lingxiao in the future!"
Such speed!
Just seemed a bit anxious, viewed by others as quite a joke.
"Where’s the car? Hurry, send the Old Master to the hospital! This unworthy son almost killed the Old Master with anger!"
What a big scapegoat!
The ancestral hall was in chaos, the Old Master of Zhong Family fainted from anger. The Zhong father and sons busied themselves with seizing power, finally noisily taking him away.
Zhong Yi coldly watched.
Wan Jiang stepped forward gently reminding: "Just let them take him? If the Old Master really dies, then Zhong Family..."
"If that old man doesn’t leave a backup for himself, he’d be failing his youthful prime of fortune."
After saying that, Zhong Yi looked beside at Lin Xifei, "Wan Jiang, send someone to protect Miss Lin and Ayao well."
"Yes."
He glanced at the uproaring guests and smirked. Being "kicked out" by Zhong Hongfei, the mess wasn’t his to clean up.
Zhong Yi slowly stepped forward, smirking ironically as he passed Pei Zheng, "Aren’t you more regretful you didn’t kill me at Thirteen Bay now? You’ll have more moments of regret gnawing at your guts. The Pei Family, since your decision then, has been walking on the tightrope, I await your expulsion from the Imperial Capital."
Pei Zheng’s face was unwell, but his tone remained calm: "Don’t be so self-absorbed."
"This phrase, should be said to yourself."
Zhong Yi called backward to Sun Weimeng: "Young Master Sun, let’s go!"
"Hey!"
Sun Weimeng eagerly followed him, and seeing this, Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou also followed.
They left behind the chaotic ancestral hall for the Zhong family’s old mansion.
As expected, in the living room they saw the anxious Lu Yingxue, watched over by the Zhong Family’s bodyguards. Completely clueless about the outside situation, she didn’t even have her phone.
So long yet no one came to update her.
She was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, hoping Zhong Lingxiao could take charge and suppress this matter!
If he became Zhong Family’s heir, relying on their power, people wouldn’t dare disobey. This colorful scandal was manageable among high society, but if reached ordinary folks, it would be her demise.
After waiting for so long, unexpectedly, it was Zhong Yi and Qiao Xi’s group who walked in.
