Rebirth as the Richest Woman in the World
Chapter 685 - 687, quadruplets (second update)

Chapter 685: 687, quadruplets (second update)

"Ah!" Luo Yu screamed.

A sharp glint flashed through Duanmu Zhe’s eyes. He quickly stepped back to avoid Luo Yu’s body, then reached out, grabbed her wrist, and with a gentle pull, very elegantly steadied her.

If it weren’t for the fact that Luo Yu was pregnant, Duanmu Zhe wouldn’t have bothered with her.

This woman’s antics were simply too numerous, hardly fit for polite society.

At the same time, Duanmu Zhe became even more certain there was something wrong with Luo Yu’s belly.

If he couldn’t stand her, how could Mo Zhixuan possibly find her appealing?

"Thank you, Mr. Duanmu, for coming to my rescue," Luo Yu said with a lowered head, her cheeks a shade of red. Although she didn’t manage to fall into Duanmu Zhe’s arms as she had wished, at least she had some close contact with him.

It was clear that Duanmu Zhe was much easier to get along with than Mo Zhixuan.

Some matters couldn’t be rushed; they had to be taken slowly, step by step. She believed that, with her charm, it was only a matter of time before Duanmu Zhe would fall at her feet.

Luo Yu was never short of confidence in her appearance and charm. In the Ancient Martial Arts World, the number of men she had slept with was countless—their desperation for her had led some to seek life and death. Once she had Duanmu Zhe in her grasp, it would be time for Mo Qingyi to go crying in the corner.

She was determined to show Mo Qingyi just how formidable she was.

Mo Qingyi, being the daughter of the Mo family from the Superpower World, would end up bitterly under the heel of a common girl from the Ancient Martial Arts World. By that time, the pain in her heart would surely be unbearable.

What did it matter if she was a commoner’s daughter? She still ended up as one of the nine esteemed wives.

Duanmu Zhe smiled distantly yet politely. "You’re welcome. Miss Luo, you should be more careful when you walk. Now is a critical time; if something were to happen to the child in your belly, it wouldn’t be good."

"Yes." Luo Yu suppressed the thoughts in her heart and nodded. Looking at Duanmu Zhe, she continued, "Mr. Duanmu Zhe, could you help me? I’m afraid I might fall again."

"I’ll help you instead," said Mo Qingyi as she hopped out of the front passenger seat and walked over to support Luo Yu.

"That would trouble you, Qingyi," Luo Yu spoke sweetly. She did not want to ruin her image in front of Duanmu Zhe, and then she added, "I’ve been feeling carsick, especially since getting pregnant, and it’s gotten worse. I heard sitting in the front passenger seat helps with carsickness. Could you give up your seat for me, Qingyi?"

As she spoke, Luo Yu covered her mouth and began to retch violently, as if she were about to vomit her entire stomach out.

Since she planned to break up Mo Qingyi and Duanmu Zhe, Luo Yu would naturally exploit every opportunity to ingratiate herself.

Mo Qingyi was about to refuse, when the elderly Mrs. Mo from the back seat said, "Qingyi, let Luo Yu take the front passenger seat. You can sit in the back with me."

The corners of Luo Yu’s mouth lifted into a smug smile. She knew Mrs. Mo would look out for her, which was why she dared to ask, and Mo Qingyi was indeed someone who listened well to Mrs. Mo.

Mo Qingyi frowned in silence, angry but resigned to helping Luo Yu into the front passenger seat.

"Thank you, Qingyi," said Luo Yu, now seated in the front. She turned her head to thank Mo Qingyi, "You really are considerate."

Mo Qingyi lowered her gaze to her phone, too indifferent to bother with her.

Duanmu Zhe was also unhappy, but it didn’t show on the surface.

Probably no one was happy except for Luo Yu.

They soon arrived at the hospital.

Because Duanmu Zhe had notified the hospital in advance, they were given VIP access. Upon reaching the third floor, they began various examinations.

The attending doctor for this prenatal checkup was named Li Yun, Duanmu Zhe’s university classmate. She was young and good-looking.

Despite her youthful and attractive appearance, she was actually the mother of three children.

"According to the examination results, Miss Luo is indeed pregnant, and based on the ultrasound, it looks like she is carrying quadruplets. Congratulations to the elderly Mrs. Mo and Miss Luo," Li Yun adjusted her glasses as she spoke casually, but her words shocked Mrs. Mo and the others.

"Quadruplets?" Mrs. Mo excitedly held Li Yun’s hand, "Doctor, are you sure there’s no mistake?"

Quadruplets!?

Luo Yu was also overjoyed.

She hadn’t anticipated such luck—her belly was proving so fruitful. Now she no longer needed to worry about the sex of the children! With quadruplets, there were sure to be both boys and girls. She truly was fortunate!

"Rest assured, Mrs. Mo, I’ve made no mistake," Li Yun smiled, holding the ultrasound report, "Even if you don’t trust me, you should trust the science. Look here, there are four yolk sacs, definitely quadruplets. There’s no mistake, don’t worry."

"Okay, okay, thank you, Doctor, thank you," Mrs. Mo was genuinely excited—she had never expected Luo Yu to be carrying quadruplets.

With this, not only could Mo Zhixuan have a houseful of children, but she could also look forward to a household full of grandchildren.

Even Mo Qingyi found it somewhat unbelievable.

Quadruplets?

She had only heard of such things before, never experienced them firsthand.

It seemed there would be much excitement in the Mo family in the future. With quadruplets, wouldn’t Luo Yu bask in glory?

Mo Qingyi’s eyes flashed with a hint of worry.

She was somewhat concerned; Luo Yu had made such a fuss with just one baby, and now that the ultrasound revealed quadruplets, it might turn the Mo family upside down.

In the midst of everyone’s excitement, Li Yun continued to speak.

"You must pay attention to preserving the pregnancy, folic acid must be taken, and progesterone injections are a must. Mothers of quadruplets have a much harder time than normal expectant mothers. You must avoid any strenuous exercise, maintain a calm disposition, rest quietly, rest more, and not overwork. Nutrition must also keep up, eat more fruits and vegetables, and remember to come to the hospital for regular check-ups."

Listening to Li Yun’s words, Luo Yu held her head even higher.

From now on, the Mo family would be hers.

Quadruplets, quadruplets, her children were truly impressive.

"Yes, yes, Dr. Li, rest assured, I will do exactly as you’ve instructed," the Mo matriarch nodded repeatedly, her eyes red with excitement. She had never felt as stirred as she did at that moment.

As they left the doctor’s office, the Mo matriarch carefully supported Luo Yu, fearing any mishap; after all, her belly held her four precious grandsons.

The Mo family finally had hope.

Waiting outside, Duanmu Zhe hurried over when he saw them come out and asked Mo Qingyi, "What did the doctor say?"

Mo Qingyi extended four fingers toward Duanmu Zhe and said calmly, "Quadruplets."

"Quadruplets?" Duanmu Zhe looked at Luo Yu’s belly, somewhat shocked. Indeed, Luo Yu’s belly did look different from that of an ordinary person; she was only a few weeks pregnant, but her belly seemed to be protruding a bit.

However, Duanmu Zhe quickly recovered and congratulated Luo Yu, "Congratulations, Miss Luo."

"Thank you." Luo Yu gently caressed her belly, supported by the Mo matriarch, like a proud peacock.

"Auntie Mo and Qingqing, you go ahead and wait for me downstairs. My throat has been a bit uncomfortable lately; I’ll get some medicine first," Duanmu Zhe said, looking at the Mo matriarch.

The Mo matriarch, now wholly focused on Luo Yu’s pregnancy, didn’t quite catch what Duanmu Zhe had said and just kept nodding, "Alright, alright, you go ahead."

Mo Qingyi glanced at Duanmu Zhe and said, "I’ll go with you."

"Alright," Duanmu Zhe nodded.

"No," Luo Yu raised her voice, interrupting their conversation.

"What business is it of yours?" Mo Qingyi frowned slightly, looking at Luo Yu with impatience.

Luo Yu smiled and said, "Qingqing, please come and support me. After all, I am now pregnant, and the doctor said that I need to rest quietly and avoid vigorous activity. Auntie Mo is quite old, and I’m not comfortable with just her supporting me..."

Mo Qingyi, frustrated, said, "May I ask if you are paralyzed or disabled? Do you need someone to help you walk?"

"Ah, Qingqing, how can your mouth be so venomous?" Luo Yu puffed out her belly and spoke in a gentle tone, "I am a pregnant woman, and I’m carrying your brother’s children. They are all your nephews and nieces. Is this how you wish them harm, as their aunt?"

Just as Mo Qingyi was about to say something, the Mo matriarch interrupted. "Qingqing, come over here, don’t upset Luo Yu."

Luo Yu heard this and felt even more justified. "Did you hear that? Hurry over. The doctor also said that I can’t get upset, I must remain calm. If something happens to the children in my belly, can you take responsibility?"

Luo Yu could now only use her pregnancy to her advantage.

The trouble was, the Mo matriarch really did care about the children in her womb.

Hearing this, Mo Qingyi clenched her fists and, swallowing her anger, walked over and supported Luo Yu’s arm.

"Mr. Duanmu, we will wait for you downstairs," Luo Yu smiled at Duanmu Zhe, her demeanor gentle as if the sharp-tongued woman from before was not her at all.

Duanmu Zhe nodded subtly and then strode away.

Meanwhile, Luo Yu also turned around and said to Mo Qingyi with a smile, "Please support me steadily, didn’t you eat?"

Mo Qingyi’s expression was icy, her face drawn, and she remained silent.

After the three of them vanished into the elevator, Duanmu Zhe emerged from the side and walked to Li Yun’s office.

"The old classmate is here," Li Yun adjusted his glasses, looked up at Duanmu Zhe, and pointed to the chair in front of him, "Sit."

"Did the test results come out?" Duanmu Zhe got straight to the point.

"Quadruplets, don’t you already know?" Li Yun smiled faintly.

"I mean the paternity test result," Duanmu Zhe’s expression was serious, "Are those children truly Brother Jiu’s?"

This was Duanmu Zhe’s true reason for bringing Luo Yu for the check-up.

He did not believe that Mo Zhixuan could do something to betray Chu Jin.

Although Luo Yu bore a slight resemblance to Chu Jin on the surface, in terms of temperament, cultivation, quality, she didn’t even come close to one ten-thousandth of Chu Jin.

Such a person was simply not worthy of Mo Zhixuan.

In the ordinary world, it is impossible to perform paternity tests on unborn fetuses, but the Superpower World is different. Here, technology is advanced, and medical science is more than 50 years ahead of the ordinary world.

"It won’t be that quick," Li Yun said with a slight smile, "It’s still being identified. There are many procedures involved, it’s not as simple as you might think."

"How soon is the fastest?" Duanmu Zhe continued to ask.

Given the current situation, if Luo Yu stayed at the Mo family’s residence for two more months, Mo Qingyi would probably go insane.

Li Yun said this while sorting through patient files on her desk.

"The soonest would be about 2 months. Don’t worry, Jiuge’s matters are my matters. I’ll keep it in mind. If it can be expedited, I will certainly do so. To tell you the truth, I also feel that woman is not good enough for Jiuge."

Li Yun saw all kinds of pregnant women every day, good and bad, and she could tell them apart at a glance.

A typical mother, upon learning she was pregnant, especially with quadruplets, would be incredibly excited, her face overflowing with the joy of impending motherhood.

However, in Luo Yu’s eyes, she saw only greed.

Endless greed.

To her, those children were just a tool for climbing the social ladder.

Luo Yu was truly unfit to be a mother.

"Then I’ll have to trouble you, Li Yun. Remember, please expedite it and contact me as soon as the results are out," Duanmu Zhe said, standing up.

For now, being anxious wasn’t helpful; there was nothing to do but wait.

Li Yun stood up as well, "Okay, rest assured, I will definitely help expedite it for you."

Duanmu Zhe then said, "I’ll be leaving then."

"Alright, take it easy," Li Yun replied, as if suddenly remembering something, she continued to ask, "By the way, how are things going between you and the young lady of the Mo family? I just saw her; she’s very pretty and suits you well."

She already had three kids, and there was still no movement on Duanmu Zhe’s part.

The Superpower World had fewer people and encouraged large families, nearly every household had three or four children, and Duanmu Zhe already had three older sisters himself.

"Thank you," Duanmu Zhe couldn’t help but smile when Mo Qingyi was mentioned, "I’ll invite you for a drink when I get things done."

Li Yun also smiled, "Alright, then I’ll be looking forward to your wedding banquet."

"Hmm."

After walking a few steps away, Duanmu Zhe turned back and said to Li Yun, "Give me some medicine to moisten the throat."

He had said earlier that he had come for throat-moistening medicine, and if he returned empty-handed now, it would surely raise suspicions.

"Sure." Li Yun did not ask why and directly prescribed the medicine for Duanmu Zhe.

Duanmu Zhe took the prescription and walked toward the first-floor medication dispensing window.

Meanwhile, the elder Mrs. Mo and Mo Qingyi were helping Luo Yu out of the elevator.

Seeing Mo Qingyi beside her, Luo Yu deliberately said with cynicism, "Qingyi, can you walk slower, please? I’m wearing high heels and can’t keep up with you. If I twist my ankle, you won’t be able to afford the responsibility."

Anyway, she had to constantly find ways to pick on Mo Qingyi these days.

Mo Qingyi glanced at her and then said, "I’ve always walked like this. If you’re dissatisfied, you can find someone else."

"Why speak so loudly?" Luo Yu exclaimed in feigned shock, patting her chest, "Scaring me is one thing, but what if you scare the children in my belly? They’re still so small and can’t handle this kind of rough treatment!"

Mo Qingyi bit her lip; she was really close to losing control!

If this were in the army, she would have already been subject to military discipline!

Luo Yu was just the kind of person who needed to be put in her place!

"Qingyi, lower your voice and be more gentle. You’ll soon be an aunt, how can you be so impatient?" the elder Mrs. Mo said, then turning to Luo Yu, she added, "Luo Yu, now that you’re pregnant, you have to take responsibility for the children in your womb. You certainly can’t wear high heels anymore. I know there’s a shoe store up ahead, come on, I’ll take you to choose a pair."

If it weren’t for the four children in Luo Yu’s womb, who could bear such an insatiable, ungrateful woman?

At that, Luo Yu stopped in her tracks and pretended to be troubled.

"Never mind, I’m not comfortable in store-bought shoes. Back at the Chu family, I only wore custom-made shoes. By the way, the pair Qingyi is wearing looks nice. How about she swaps with me?"

"Dream on," Mo Qingyi scoffed at Luo Yu.

"Then forget it," Luo Yu said indifferently, "after all, I’m carrying quadruplets. Even if one slips away, there are still three left, no big deal."

"That’s out of the question, Qingyi," the elder Mrs. Mo turned her gaze to Mo Qingyi, "Luo Yu is not in a position to be accommodating right now, so you switch with her."

"Mom!" Mo Qingyi frowned slightly.

"Be obedient," the elder Mrs. Mo said softly.

Luo Yu looked at Mo Qingyi with a smile in her eyes, which held a sly triumphant glint.

This feeling of trampling Mo Qingyi underfoot was just too delightful.

What Mo family’s eldest daughter.

In her eyes, she was nothing!

Mo Qingyi had no choice but to take off her flat shoes and put them on Luo Yu.

Mo Qingyi’s feet were a bit smaller than Luo Yu’s, and those high heels were a full ten centimeters tall; plus, she had never worn high heels before, so she walked with a limp, like a child who had just learned to walk.

Seeing this, the sarcastic look in Luo Yu’s eyes grew even more distinct.

Still, the Mo family’s eldest daughter, yet she can’t even wear high heels, such a disgrace that can’t show her face in public.

Just wait, once she became the head mistress of the Mo family, she would find a beggar for Mo Qingyi to marry, and let her become a low-class person forever.

The heels were indeed too high, and the shoes were much too big and loose-fitting; Mo Qingyi couldn’t find her balance at all. After just a few steps, she suddenly fell forward.

Just as she was about to hit the ground, Duanmu Zhe, coming from behind, narrowed his eyes, leapt forward with a swift stride, extended his long arm, and caught Mo Qingyi in his arms, performing a very handsome chivalrous rescue.

Without saying much, Duanmu Zhe, with a stern face, took off the crystal shoes from Mo Qingyi’s feet before she could fully react, and threw them straight into the nearby trash can, then picked up Mo Qingyi and walked her towards the car.

This series of actions was both suave and manly.

Mo Qingyi was stunned for a long time, unable to react; she couldn’t hear any sound, the only thing she could hear was their heartbeats.

Luo Yu, following behind, was green with anger!

She had wanted to embarrass Mo Qingyi, but she never imagined her actions would actually favor her!

Even someone brainless like Duanmu Zhe was interested in a woman as unkempt as Mo Qingyi.

It seemed she still had to work hard.

Duanmu Zhe placed Mo Qingyi in the passenger seat, and the Mo elder madam and Luo Yu followed behind, walking over. Luo Yu was about to ask Mo Qingyi to get out of the car, after all, the passenger seat was her exclusive spot.

As if he knew what Luo Yu was intending, Duanmu Zhe politely said to her, "I apologize for the inconvenience, Miss Luo, to have to sit in the back."

Luo Yu’s expression changed slightly, then she said softly, "I don’t mind."

The Mo elder madam helped Luo Yu into the back seat.

Mo Qingyi looked gratefully at Duanmu Zhe.

Duanmu Zhe gave her a smile, then immediately started the engine and drove off.

On the road, Luo Yu kept trying to start conversations, attempting to draw Duanmu Zhe’s attention to her, but he didn’t respond to her.

Luo Yu was nearly furious.

It was all the fault of Mo Qingyi, that little wretch.

If it hadn’t been for her, why would Duanmu Zhe have such a big issue with her!

Soon, they arrived back at the Mo residence.

Mo Qingyi and Duanmu Zhe were the first to get out of the car.

Duanmu Zhe was a very gentlemanly man, bending over to open the car door for the Mo elder madam and Luo Yu.

The Mo elder madam got out first and extended her hand to Luo Yu, "Come, let me help you out."

"Aunt Mo, no offense, but with your failing eyesight, I really don’t feel safe," Luo Yu caressed her belly, "I’m carrying four of the Mo family’s children here. Why don’t you let someone young and strong help me too?"

Luo Yu cast a casual glance at Mo Qingyi nearby.

Mo Qingyi, barefooted, was about to go back to change her shoes; hearing the words, she immediately turned and walked into the house.

"Qingyi, come here," called the Mo elder madam to the back of Mo Qingyi.

"Aunt Mo, is this really appropriate?" Duanmu Zhe frowned slightly.

"There’s nothing inappropriate about it," the Mo elder madam maintained her usual expression, "Luo Yu is pregnant, we should be more considerate."

The Mo elder madam knew that Luo Yu was deliberately making trouble, but she could only endure it.

Now, the four children in Luo Yu’s womb were the Mo family’s entire hope.

A sly smile curled up on Luo Yu’s lips.
