Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 313 - Chapter 313 Chapter 312 Shocking shes actually pregnant

Chapter 313: Chapter 312: Shocking, she’s actually pregnant! Chapter 313: Chapter 312: Shocking, she’s actually pregnant! Jiang Biyun was arrested, and Ming Wan received termination letters from various brand sponsors.

The dramas she was set to star in as the female lead were all recast.

Her acting career was about to draw its final curtain.

Her agent had fled overnight, and calls to them went unanswered.

Ming Wan was in a state of panic, so she went to the Xiao Family to find Xiao Yichen.

After standing for two or three hours, Xiao Yichen finally came out of the villa.

Tears blurring her vision, Ming Wan threw herself towards him.

But before she could touch him, he stepped aside.

Ming Wan almost fell to the ground.

Xiao Yichen looked at Ming Wan with indifferent eyes, “The engagement has been called off, you saw it on the internet, didn’t you?”

Ming Wan looked at the handsome, indifferent man in front of her, tears falling uncontrollably.

Once so intimately close, they now seemed worse than strangers.

Her lips trembled, “Brother Yichen, I had no idea about the things my mother did; you can’t lump me with her, I’m innocent!”

Xiao Yichen closed his eyes, “Ming Wan, let’s part on good terms; stop clinging on!”

“Brother Yichen, I’ve lost my mother, you’re all I have left, you can’t…”

Xiao Yichen interrupted Ming Wan with a cold voice, “You still have your biological father!”

Without waiting for Ming Wan to say anything, Xiao Yichen went back into the villa and had the butler come out and drive Ming Wan away.

The butler pushed Ming Wan, nearly causing her to fall. She felt as though she had plunged into a dark abyss, her whole body cold, as if she would never see the light again!

Ming Wan returned to the Ming Residence.

Ming Guoan had already ordered her belongings to be thrown out.

Ming Wan had no choice but to call Shen Chunlin.

Shen Chunlin took Ming Wan to his apartment.

Ming Wan didn’t think highly of Shen Chunlin; he was just an assistant of Ming Guoan’s. She couldn’t understand what was wrong with her mother to have secretly been with him for so many years!

Had she broken it off with him earlier, perhaps Ming Yao wouldn’t have caught her leverage!

Seeing Ming Wan dispirited, Shen Chunlin patted her shoulder, “Wanwan, don’t worry. Even though Old Madam Ming’s shares aren’t in our hands yet, combined with yours, Ming Guoan’s, and mine, we have enough to be the largest shareholders of Ming Corporation!”

A glimmer of light shone in Ming Wan’s dim eyes.

“What do you mean?”

Shen Chunlin explained how they had tricked Ming Guoan last time to sign the share transfer contract.

On hearing this, Ming Wan seemed to see a ray of hope.

If she and Shen Chunlin controlled Ming Corporation, what else would she have to fear?

Perhaps Brother Yichen would come back to her!

“Dad, we need to call a shareholders’ meeting as soon as possible to re-elect the chairman,” Ming Wan said with a smile, “and let me be the vice president?”

“Agreed.”

Ming Wan breathed a sigh of relief.

At least there was something tonight that made her feel less suffocated.

…

Ming Residence.

Ming Guoan knelt before Old Madam Ming’s bed, filled with repentance.

After taking Old Madam Ming’s pulse, Ming Yao glanced at the teary Ming Guoan with a cold voice, “Don’t disturb grandmother’s rest with your presence here.”

Ming Guoan’s throat felt dry, “Yaoyao, do you know about your own origins?”

Ming Yao was unwilling to exchange another word with Ming Guoan. Even if she wanted to know about her origins, it wouldn’t be from him.

“I haven’t done anything to you. For grandmother’s sake, I hope you will behave yourself from now on!”

Ming Yao called for the butler to show Ming Guoan out.

Ming Yao didn’t leave Old Madam Ming’s room that night, resting on the Imperial Concubine’s Couch instead.

Around midnight, she suddenly felt a cramping pain in her lower abdomen.

Ming Yao woke up startled.

A layer of cold sweat formed on her forehead.

She placed a small hand over her abdomen; the initial pain was bearable, but slowly, it intensified.

Ming Yao’s eyes turned bloodshot, a layer of crystal-clear mist covering them.

Why was her lower abdomen in so much pain all of a sudden?

It was only then that she remembered her menstrual cycle seemed to be delayed.

Lately, her emotions hadn’t been the best, and she had been busy with the preparations for the old lady’s birthday banquet; she had actually neglected this matter!

She hadn’t considered that possibility, after all, every time she and Gu Siting had intercourse, he took precautions.

The pain in her lower abdomen was too abnormal!

Ming Yao furrowed her brows, taking her own pulse.

A moment later, her pupils contracted violently.

She was pregnant.

But the symptoms were not quite normal.

For specific details, she would need to go to the hospital for an examination!

Ming Yao’s eyes were filled with shock, she hadn’t expected that she could really be pregnant!

Her lower abdomen hurt terribly; after taking some traditional Chinese medicine from her bag, the pain slowly subsided.

The next day.

Ming Yao received a phone call from Lu Zhou.

“Madam…” Realizing that he had used the wrong title, Lu Zhou quickly corrected himself, “Miss Ming, Fourth Master has already signed the divorce agreement. Also, there are still your belongings at the Imperial Garden, Fourth Master said you should take them along.”

Ming Yao pursed her lips, thinking that she was going to Imperial Garden anyway to verify something, she said, “I’ll come to Imperial Garden later, bring the agreement there.”

After a pause, she added, “Fourth Master should be going to work at that time, right?”

“Fourth Master has already moved out of the Imperial Garden.”

Ming Yao’s heart clenched.

So, after she left, he also moved out of Imperial Garden.

He probably didn’t want to live in the place where they had shared their lives, right?

Suddenly, her nose felt stuffy and painful, and her eyes grew sore and swollen.

After Ming Yao finished the phone call, Old Madam Ming had already woken up.

“Yaoyao,” Old Madam Ming reached out her hand to Ming Yao, who immediately approached and held the old lady’s hand, “Grandma.”

“Yaoyao, it was Grandma’s fault, I shouldn’t have let you acknowledge Ming Guoan and Jiang Biyun as your parents; those kinds of people, they really don’t deserve to be your parents!”

Seeing the tears in Old Madam Ming’s eyes, Ming Yao soothed her, “Grandma, the bad people have been punished, everything will get better.”

“Once Grandma gets a bit better, I will tell you about your origins.”

Ming Yao nodded, “Okay.”

“I will call the lawyer later and transfer all the shares in my hands to you.” Old Madam Ming gripped Ming Yao’s hand tightly, “Don’t refuse, if you don’t accept, Ming Corporation might really be ruined!”

Ming Yao’s throat felt tight, and after a long time, she nodded.

…

Ming Yao drove back to the Imperial Garden.

Aunt Zhong and Steward Zhong had both already gone to Gu Siting’s new residence.

The Imperial Garden felt much lonelier without them.

Assistant Lu was already waiting in the living room.

Seeing Ming Yao arrive, he immediately stood up from the sofa, “Miss Ming.”

Ming Yao nodded, “Assistant Lu, please take a seat for a moment, I’m going to pack my things upstairs.”

“Alright.”

Ming Yao went upstairs to the bedroom.

She opened the bedside drawer.

Inside, there were still some unused condoms.

She picked up one and examined it closely.

On closer inspection, she was dumbfounded.

There were several tiny pinholes in it.

Ming Yao touched her forehead, her fair and beautiful face tensing up.

He had actually tampered with it!
