Chapter 698: Chapter 698

Guo Qiyu had looked rather composed earlier, but after seeing the video, she became so furious that she almost smashed her phone.

Xu Mengyan snatched her own phone back with displeasure. "If you want to smash something, smash your own phone."

Guo Qiyu’s face darkened profoundly. "That bastard."

"Indeed a bastard. Don’t say I didn’t try hard, or that Zhang Yang is being merciless—it’s your brother who’s absolutely out of line."

"Look at what he’s saying! Once he gets out, he still wants revenge on Zhang Yang. If I were Zhang Yang, I wouldn’t give him another chance either."

Xu Mengyan saw Guo Qiyu’s silence, and her tone became more serious.

"Guo Qiyu, let me remind you: Zhang Yang is no longer who he used to be. In the domestic sphere, your Guo Family may not necessarily be able to outmatch Zhang Yang. If you escalate things, it won’t benefit anyone."

Upon hearing this, Guo Qiyu’s expression turned even darker. "So you’re suggesting I give up on Guo Da?"

"That worthless fool? Yes, give him up."

"Or are you actually planning to turn the world upside down over that useless piece of trash?"

Guo Qiyu narrowed her eyes slightly. "What if I decide to go against Zhang Yang? Whose side would you choose?"

Xu Mengyan’s heart sank—it seemed Guo Qiyu wasn’t ready to give up this time.

"The Xu Family won’t join in such chaos, think this through carefully. For Zhang Yang to give Guo Da a chance means he doesn’t want to stir up trouble with you. It’s your brother who provoked Zhang Yang first, and now he’s reaping what he sowed—there’s no one else to blame."

Hearing this, Guo Qiyu still replied in a grim tone: "So you’re saying you won’t help me?"

"Zhang Yang only cured your illness, but he’s already touched our bottom line. If I fall, the Guo Family won’t let it slide."

"You’d better figure out once and for all who you’re going to support."

Xu Mengyan’s expression hardened. "I can’t believe you’re this kind of ungrateful person."

"Take a look at this."

Xu Mengyan pulled something out of her pocket and tossed it to Guo Qiyu.

A pregnancy test?

Guo Qiyu recognized it right away.

Seeing the two clear lines on it, Guo Qiyu was both shocked and thrilled.

"How did it happen so quickly?"

"Because my illness was cured. Naturally, it happened. My period was delayed a few days this month, so I decided to test it just in case—I didn’t expect it to be positive."

To be honest, even Xu Mengyan hadn’t anticipated it happening so fast.

Guo Qiyu was instantly elated. While he had illegitimate children outside, he knew such children could never be brought home. Neither the Guo Family nor the Xu Family would acknowledge them.

And besides, he really liked Xu Mengyan. Having a child with her made him genuinely happy.

The relationship between the two families would also become more solid.

Guo Qiyu embraced Xu Mengyan tightly, and she didn’t resist—instead, she affectionately said, "Honey, if not for yourself, at least think of your child and do some good for their sake."

"There are plenty of people who don’t want me to have this child, and you especially can’t afford to be ungrateful."

Guo Qiyu’s expression shifted slightly. The Guo and Xu families ranked among the top-tier conglomerates abroad, but there were still seven or eight other families in their league.

Now, with their alliance in marriage, they were being closely watched.

So trying to have a child wasn’t easy. They had even suspected before that someone might have tampered with Xu Mengyan’s infertility.

"Honey, now is not the time to act recklessly. Leave Guo Da to cool off for a few years inside. If there’s an opportunity in the future, we can find a way to get him out. In the meantime, let him work on his bad habits."

Rarely this affectionate, Xu Mengyan melted Guo Qiyu’s heart with her closeness.

"You’re right. Now’s definitely not the time to stir things up."

"Alright, I’ll listen to you this time. Let’s arrange for Zhang Yang to come over for dinner someday. I, Guo Qiyu, am not an ungrateful person."

Seeing Guo Qiyu finally give in, Xu Mengyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Resolving things this way was ideal.

As for the baby—Xu Mengyan actually felt a little anxious about it. She wasn’t sure if she was pregnant.

The pregnancy test was something she had gotten from a pregnant woman at the hospital earlier today.

After all, Zhang Yang had only treated her a week ago. Even if she could conceive, it wouldn’t show up on a test this quickly.

But this move ensured that Guo Qiyu wouldn’t act impulsively.

Xu Mengyan was gambling that Zhang Yang wasn’t lying to her. Back when Zhang Yang healed her, he had said that during the following days, any intimacy would likely be effective.

So she decided to flash this pregnancy test a little earlier than usual.

Guo Qiyu wasn’t aware of the exact timeline of her treatment with Zhang Yang, which gave him no reason to doubt her.

And since he’d had occasional moments of intimacy with her during his visits home, he naturally believed her.

Feeling elated now, Guo Qiyu gazed at Xu Mengyan with newfound affection, his eyes burning with passion as his hands wandered toward her shapely curves.

"Cut it out! Do you want to risk losing this hard-earned baby? No touching me during pregnancy."

"If you really can’t hold back, go find one of your lovers outside!"

Guo Qiyu looked awkward. While he and Xu Mengyan both tacitly understood about his extramarital affairs, having her directly confront him left him visibly uneasy.

"Fine. Now that I’m temporarily off duty, I’ll stay home and take care of you properly."

"Off duty and yet you still haven’t gotten out there to find a solution? Do you honestly want Guo Da to drag you down with him? Get it together and sever ties with Guo Da as soon as possible."

"If necessary, consider transferring. Don’t tell me you’re unable to handle this much!"

Feigning anger, Xu Mengyan gave him a firm shove.

But Guo Qiyu couldn’t help but feel delighted. At least her words showed that she cared about him.

"Don’t worry, honey. I’ve already made arrangements. But you’re absolutely right—cutting ties with Guo Da needs to happen quickly."

With that, Guo Qiyu grabbed his phone and left the house.

Once Guo Qiyu left, Xu Mengyan exhaled in quiet resignation. "Zhang Yang, oh Zhang Yang, you have to make this work—please help me actually get pregnant with your child!"

If Guo Qiyu ever found out, he’d probably die of rage.

Zhang Yang, meanwhile, was completely unaware that Xu Mengyan had fabricated such an elaborate lie to help him out of trouble.

At the moment, Zhang Yang and Pei Yuyan were in Qian Xiaorui’s hospital room playing a heated game of cards.

The tension was palpable—Qian Xiaorui had already gambled away her hospital gown, leaving her impressive cleavage on full display.

Pei Yuyan wasn’t faring much better, wearing nothing but her underwear and bra.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yang hadn’t lost a single article of clothing, which infuriated both women. They stared at him with fiery determination.

For Zhang Yang, this was his first time playing such an intense card game. This round, he was on the same team as Pei Yuyan.

Grinning mischievously, he eyed Qian Xiaorui and teased, "Little nurse, you’re bound to lose this round. If you lose again, even your pants will need to come off—are you wearing underwear underneath?"
