Chapter 1080 - The Hidden Mastermind

You’re pregnant?

What the doctor said to put the crowd silent. Everyone gasped as they looked at Ye Xiaotao. Even Ye Xiaotao’s friends took a few steps back in shock. “Xiaotao, you... you... you...”

Ye Xiaotao’s face turned pale. She knew that her secret was out.

No secrets can’t stay hidden for too long. She knew that one day everyone would find out about her marriage and pregnancy. She just did not expect the day to come so quickly and suddenly.

She was completely caught off guard.

...

In the principal’s office.

“Miss Ye, what are you...” the principal kept wiping the sweat off with his sleeves and shook his head repeatedly.

“Principal, I want to continue my studies,” Ye Xiaotao said firmly.

The principal looked out of the window. His office was now surrounded by students. Ye Xiaotao was famous on campus, so people watched her every move. And now, news of her pregnancy swept across the entire campus like a tornado. The students were waiting to see how the principal handles the situation.

The principal didn’t dare to offend the daughter of the Ye family, but...

“Miss Ye, why are you so careless about your pregnancy? Now that the news has spread, it’s out of my control. I run a civilized school. If a female student is pregnant, she has to take a leave of absence...”

“No!” Ye Xiaotao shook her head. “Principal, I don’t want to take a leave of absence. Please think of a way around it.”

“Miss Ye, if the matter hadn’t gotten out of hand, I would definitely help you. But now that everyone knows about it, what can I do to stop people from talking about it? Your father donated a few buildings to our school. If I can help, I will spare no effort. But now that you are standing at the eye of the store, even if I let you continue your studies, you will have to bear the gossip and judgment from others. For the sake of the both of us, you should temporarily quit school.”

The principal had already made a decision. Even if Ye Xiaotao begged on her knees, it would be useless. Ye Xiaotao smirked; she knew things would come to this.

The school could not openly accept a pregnant woman.

“Okay, I got it, Principal. Goodbye.” Ye Xiaotao walked out.

Outside the principal office, Ye Xiaotao saw countless students who surrounded her. Everyone looked at her with curiosity, sympathy, and mockery.

“It seems that the principal suspended her from school. How do you think she got pregnant?”

“It’s only normal. She’s so beautiful, and all men like her. We live in a modern world, premarital sex is normal.”

“But I thought she had high standards and is chaste...”

“That’s where she got you. The more pure and innocent a woman is on the surface, the more passionate and indulgent she is in her bones. You don’t know how wild she may be in the dark.”

“Tell me, who do you think the father of the child is?”

“I don’t know...”

“I think that man is definitely some shady guy. Otherwise, why did she have to hide the fact that she’s pregnant.”

Ye Xiaotao could clearly hear everyone’s gossips. She didn’t say anything and just kept walking.

At this moment, her friends ran over. “Alright, everyone, there’s nothing to see here. Go home. All you do is gossip behind people’s backs. Why don’t you shout it out like a man.”

“That’s right! Xiaotao, don’t mind them. They’re just jealous of you.”

Ye Xiaotao gave her friends a faint smile when she saw how concerned they were. Then, she shook her head. “Forget it, let them say what they want. We can’t control others, nor should we be influenced by others.”

“Mmm!” Ye Xiaotao’s friends nodded vigorously. “But, your child...”

Ye Xiaotao knew that her friends were also curious about the identity of the father of her child.

“Xiaotao...” A handsome figure appeared. Mo Zhengyu was a few feet away and looked at her gently.

The crowd immediately gasped. “Oh my goodness, it’s senior Mo!”

“Senior Mo?” Ye Xiaotao’s friends were also shocked. Mo Zhengyu’s appearance at this moment was like admitting that he’s the father of the child.

Ye Xiaotao did not expect Mo Zhengyu to appear. She was a little stunned.

“Xiaotao, what are you daydreaming about?” Mo Zhengyu walked over. He reached out to stroke her hair and held her little hand. “Let’s go home.”

...

Mo Zhengyu held Ye Xiaotao’s hand as they walked out of the school gate. Then, she slowly withdrew her little hand. “Senior Mo, you shouldn’t have come. Now everyone is going to misunderstand.”

“So be it. We don’t have to explain anything to others.” Mo Zhengyu smiled warmly.

“Senior Mo, thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” Mo Zhengyu looked at her lower abdomen as he spoke. “If I asked you who the father of your child is, you wouldn’t tell me, right?”

Ye Xiaotao knew that Mo Zhengyu still had some feelings for her. Although she was very grateful to him, she really didn’t want him to waste his time on her. “My husband’s.”

“What?” Mo Zhengyu froze. “You... are married?”

“Yes.”

Mo Zhengyu was shocked and disappointed. He didn’t know what to say.

Ye Xiaotao didn’t have the energy to care about what Mo was thinking. She quickly ran through everything that happened today in her mind. She was sure that this was a setup.

The old man on the tricycle deliberately hit her, and then the doctor in the infirmary came. Then her pregnancy was exposed. There was a mastermind behind all this.

This mastermind made her quit school.

D*mn it!

Ye Xiaotao didn’t need to guess to know who it was. It must be Bai Lingyun!

Then, Ye Xiaotao’s phone rang.

It was another unknown number.

“Hello.” Ye Xiaotao picked up the phone.

“Hello, Miss Ye, how are you doing now?” Bai Lingyun said in a provocative voice.

“I knew it! Bai Lingyun, what do you want?” Ye Xiaotao clenched her small hands into fists. This woman was too despicable.

“Miss Ye, what are you talking about? I don’t understand.”

“Stop pretending!”

“You too! You know exactly what I want. You are a third party and a thief. I want you to spit out everything you stole from me!” Bai Lingyun’s voice became cold.

Ye Xiaotao felt that this woman was simply unreasonable. “Where are you now? Let’s talk.”

“Okay, Miss Ye. I’ll wait for you at XX Cafe.” Bai Lingyun hung up the phone after she said that.

Ye Xiaotao put away her phone and immediately hailed a taxi. She was going to Bai Lingyun.

“Xiaotao,” Mo Zhengyu came forward. “Why are you in a hurry? Taxi’s don’t usually pass by here. I have a car. I’ll give you a ride.”

Ye Xiaotao thought for a moment. “Thank you, senior Mo. Sorry for troubling you.”
