Revenge Sevenfold Chapter 2 Lu Shen’s Child

"I still need to see him," the girl said.
Although Hui Yin already looked like a mangy mutt begging to see her ex-husband outside the gates, her eyes were wide and soulful, lashes trembling with unshed tears.
She had already lost her beauty, but those enchanting eyes of her were unchanging, making you want to drown in them.
Nian Zhen felt hatred bubble up like acid in her stomach, and she looked down at the expensive ring in her finger. Slowly, her lips began to curve triumphantly.
Ha! What was there to be jealous of? Hui Yin had already fallen this low. Poor, divorced, and ugly, how could she even dare to compete with Nian Zhen? Plus, Lu Shen was already hers. Does a lion need to be mindful of a dog?
"I have his child..."
As the soft whisper reached her ears, Nian Zhen froze.
She looked at Hui Yin outside the gates, and now she noticed that the girl was caressing her stomach tenderly. In that brief second, Nian Zhen was suddenly seized with rage.
How could that slut have Lu Shen's child?
She, Nian Zhen, was supposed to be the one to give birth to the heir of the Lu family. She had meticulously planned her way to the top, but she had forgotten this one important thing.
Nian Zhen ground her teeth. How dare this trash drive a wedge in her plans?
Thinking quickly, the disdainful look in Nian Zhen's face softened, and she opened up the gates. But she didn't let Hui Yin enter.
Instead, she was the one who went outside, and placed a gentle hand on Hui Yin's shoulder.
"You have Lu Shen's child?" she asked, hiding her vindictive inner thoughts. "How sure are you that you're pregnant? Did you go to the doctor? You know that Lu Shen will definitely not believe you if you don't have hard evidence backing you up."
Hui Yin felt uneasy when she saw how Nian Zhen quickly shifted her attitude, but the way she spoke to her reminded her of the old times they spent together, and her heart weakened.
"Yes, I went to the doctor. It's only three months old. But I didn't bring any evidence..."
Hui Yin realized that Nian Zhen was slowly steering her away from the front gates. "Where are we going?"
"To see a doctor, silly. You need to have an ultrasound to show Lu Shen." Nian Zhen gave her a dazzling smile. "I was hurrying earlier, so I parked my car at the corner."
"Oh." Hui Yin moved away from her, her hands hugging her stomach. There was a string of bracelet on her wrist, fiery red against her pale skin. It had been given to her and Lu Shen as a matrimonial gift. "It's fine, I'm sure Lu Shen can call a doctor at ho...at the mansion."
She was about to say 'home', before painfully realizing that it wasn't hers anymore.
Nian Zhen's eyes darkened as her eyes fell on the bracelet, and to the barely discernible bump on the girl's stomach. They were both ugly reminders that Lu Shen didn't truly belong to her.
With anger coursing through her veins, she ignored Hui Yin's attempts on getting away from her and dragged her forcefully towards the main streets.
Hui Yin felt a flash of panic. "What are you—"
She tried to struggle, but malnutrition, accompanied by her fatigue during pregnancy, made her efforts futile.
With an abrupt shove from Nian Zhen, Hui Yin suddenly saw herself standing in the middle of the road, eyes wide. Like a deer caught in the headlights, she could only look at the car getting closer and closer—
Until all Hui Yin could see was darkness.
