Chapter 99: Chapter 98: Pregnant Before Marriage

Lin Ruochun: "....."

Could she still take back her thanks now?

Seeing Lin Ruochun’s infuriated expression, Wen Qiao felt particularly pleased. Driven by rare curiosity, she asked, "Why do you dislike me so much?"

Lin Ruochun haughtily turned her head away: "You know very well."

"?"

What was with this tone of accusing some scoundrel?

"What do I know?"

Lin Ruochun didn’t know if she was feigning ignorance or truly didn’t understand, but she became somewhat agitated: "If you don’t like Brother Jinghen, why did you agree to get engaged to him? The engagement is one thing, but why did you have to do that kind of thing, too?"

She stopped mid-sentence, realizing she had misspoken and hung her head, muttering, "Anyway, you’re just a bad woman."

"Don’t worry,, I won’t embarrass your Brother Jinghen."

Although Wen Qiao’s current feelings for Fu Jinghen were merely a whim supplemented by his attractiveness, she understood the principle that spouses shared honor and disgrace. Even if she truly fell for someone else later, she wouldn’t do anything inappropriate while she was still involved with Fu Jinghen.

She still held onto that much moral integrity.

"Really?" Lin Ruochun seemed skeptical as she pressed further.

"Really."

Wen Qiao, amused by Lin Ruochun’s suspicion, changed the subject: "Then why do you dislike Jiang Wei?"

"It’s not that I don’t like her, I hate her," Lin Ruochun seriously corrected her.

"Alright, then why do you hate her?"

"I just can’t stand the sight of her."

The grudge between Lin Ruochun and Jiang Wei had been building for a long time. Initially, Lin Ruochun didn’t hate Jiang Wei, since, after all, they both mingled in the same circles and occasionally saw each other at social gatherings.

Lin Ruochun was younger and both Fu Jing and Qin Xiang treated her like a sister, showering her with a bit more care. These gestures didn’t sit well with Jiang Wei, who started throwing snide remarks at Lin Ruochun. Every woman understood these games, and although Lin Ruochun could guess her intentions, she wasn’t one to complain to others, so she didn’t confide in Fu Jing. But she wasn’t a pushover and was naturally able to retaliate.

If it were anyone else under the misunderstanding that Lin Ruochun fancied Fu Jing, she would have hastily clarified things. But it came to Jiang Wei, she felt that explaining would only demean her own status. Jiang Wei was welcome to misunderstand, and since Fu Jing cared about her, she was more than happy to annoy Jiang Wei further.

Thus, whenever Jiang Wei was around, Lin Ruochun would act a bit closer to Fu Jing than usual, but she never crossed any boundaries—it was all just to irritate her.

The two had been at this standoff for a while, and Lin Ruochun had also entered the entertainment industry. Shortly after her debut, thanks to a supporting role in an ethics drama that garnered her a fanbase, she was dubbed the "Nation’s Sister." At that time, she was about to sign a deal with a cosmetics endorsement, and negotiations were progressing smoothly. However, just as they were about to close the deal, a slew of negative publicity about her erupted online.

It said she was a poor student who frequently skipped classes and even uploaded a photo of her wearing a high school uniform at the gynecology department of a hospital, suggesting she was pregnant before marriage.

The reports about her poor grades were true, though they weren’t that bad, and her skipping classes was also true since she really couldn’t absorb the monotonous math classes. But the allegations about her being pregnant before marriage were entirely fabricated.
