Chapter 983: Chapter 983: 981: The Ins and Outs of the Event

But Su Qingzhi insisted and spoke earnestly to her, “Wu Jinyan, I have never looked down on you, no matter what your background is. You are just like Han’er and Yingxue, a woman of integrity and kindness, with your own opinions and abilities. I appreciate you very much. But the one thing I cannot tolerate is being deliberately deceived! Today, give me a truthful answer, is the child in your womb Su Hao’s or not?”

“Yan’er, say yes! Grandfather will believe you. After this child is born, we can still have our own children,” Su Hao quickly took Wu Jinyan’s hand, coaching her.

His hand was broad and warm, evoking affection, and even harder to let go of.

Leaning on Su Hao, the tears at the corners of Wu Jinyan’s eyes began to fall incessantly, “Su Hao, we can deceive grandpa, but we can’t deceive ourselves.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

All the strength in Su Hao’s body suddenly seemed to drain away.

When Wu Jinyan pulled away from him and, supporting her waist, slowly got up and walked in front of Su Qingzhi, she knelt down, bowed her head deeply, and her voice was heavy with sincere remorse, “I’m sorry, Grandpa. I have let down your expectations. This child is not Su Hao’s. I was violated at Bamboo Leaf Pass… that’s how I came to be with this child. It was my fault that I misled you before!”

As Wu Jinyan spoke these words, it felt as though she was carving out her own heart with a knife, each word was a cut, every single one of them so painful, yet she uttered each word so clearly, leaving no room for misunderstanding.

Su Qingzhi closed his eyes and shook his head helplessly, “In that case, you cannot become the young madam of the Marquis’s Manor today.”

This sentence was a verdict for both her and Su Hao.

“Grandpa, no matter what, I will marry Yan’er! In this life, I will only marry her!”

Su Hao crawled on his knees to Su Qingzhi’s side, he held Su Qingzhi’s hand, “Grandpa, I have never asked you for anything, but this time I am begging you, please do not call off the wedding, let me marry Yan’er!”

“Su Hao, if she weren’t carrying a child, even if she had been violated, Grandfather could still agree to your wish! But there is one condition, the Su family’s bloodline must not be confused! This child is an obstacle between you two, as well as between the Su family and her! Unless you and she are willing to get rid of the child now!”

“The child is already so developed, a forced abortion could kill Yan’er as well! Grandpa…” Su Hao choked up, pleading.

He didn’t care whose child it was, as long as it was in Wu Jinyan’s womb, he could treat it as his own!

“If not, the wedding today definitely cannot happen!”

Su Qingzhi’s attitude was very firm, and the Su family’s senior members could certainly understand.

“Qingzhi, you are being too lenient. A woman with such deep schemes, intending to use a child to manipulate the Su family, even if she is no longer with child, cannot enter the Su family again! If we must choose someone to marry Su Hao, I think Miss Lu is quite suitable!”

Su Qinghe’s satisfied gaze fell on Lu Ying.

“Miss Lu and Su Hao met at Bamboo Leaf Pass, and I heard that they also had an intimate relationship. Under the circumstances today, how can you still allow this woman to enter your household? You should immediately welcome Miss Lu, let her be the young madam of the Marquis’s Manor, to salvage the face of the Manor! Otherwise, how long will the Manor be the laughingstock of others?”

Su Qinghe spoke earnestly, truly unable to bear seeing the Su family’s honor compromised and become a topic of ridicule over tea and meals by others.

“Elder, how do you know about Miss Lu and my brother’s affair? Your presence today, is it really for the good of our Su family, or do you have an ulterior motive?” Su Yingxue couldn’t help but start to question Su Qinghe’s intentions.
