CHAPTER 489: CHAPTER 489: SISTER WEI, ARE YOU REALLY PREGNANT?

Just now, Zhu Jianian was still puzzled, wondering why Nan Huiru would say Ji Wei was pregnant. Clearly, at this moment, Ji Wei’s flat stomach in her swimsuit looked nothing like that of a pregnant woman.

She deliberately brought it up as a test.

If Nan Huiru knew Ji Wei was faking her pregnancy, then the drama would start.

"How do you know I’m not pregnant?" Ji Wei sneered. "Besides, the matter between Mo Qian and me—since when is it your business?"

Zhu Jianian was momentarily struck by her retort but quickly thought that Ji Wei must be trying to rile her up deliberately.

She would not fall for it!

Zhu Jianian countered, "Oh, is that so? If you were truly pregnant, why would Mo Qian let you attend this kind of pool party? You’re definitely lying!"

Ji Wei’s lips curved in a cold smile as she turned to leave.

To her, it wasn’t even worth getting angry with someone entirely irrelevant.

Seeing herself being blatantly ignored, Zhu Jianian’s chest heaved with fury; she clenched her fists tightly.

But there was no way she would let this go. Spotting Qin Sixue entering the room draped in a bathrobe, an idea instantly struck her.

"Miss Ji! Is your fake pregnancy lie exposed now? Afraid to face the truth, are you? Stop and explain yourself!" Zhu Jianian suddenly shouted and rushed forward, gripping Ji Wei’s arm forcefully.

Ji Wei lifted her arm in disgust, which sent Zhu Jianian tumbling theatrically into the mirror, directly crashing against it.

Crash—

The mirror shattered into pieces.

Zhu Jianian’s face turned pale as she covered her arm, which had been injured by the shards, and cried out indignantly, "Miss Ji, how dare you lash out in anger and push me so ruthlessly! I only didn’t want Aunt Huiru to be deceived by you. After all, she’s Mo Qian’s biological mother... Ah, it hurts so much! My arm is bleeding..."

Zhu Jianian’s tear-filled eyes reflected her immense pain.

Qin Sixue had only planned to come in to fix her hair, but instead stumbled upon this chaotic scene.

She had no idea what had just transpired between the two, but seeing how hard Zhu Jianian had hit the ground, she quickly stepped forward to help her. "Sister Zhu, are you all right?"

Zhu Jianian looked at Qin Sixue as if carrying the weight of the world’s grievances. "Sixue, you know how I grew up with Mo Qian, how close we’ve always been. Now that Mo Qian has married Miss Ji, I genuinely want to bless them. But this woman lied to the Gu Family, saying she was pregnant! She wants to use a fake pregnancy to tie Mo Qian down. As his friend, I just couldn’t stand by and watch, so I called her out on it. But unexpectedly... unexpectedly..."

Zhu Jianian grew so choked up she couldn’t continue.

Qin Sixue had never heard about Ji Wei being pregnant before and appeared genuinely shocked. She instinctively turned to Ji Wei. "Sister Wei, are you really pregnant?"

Ji Wei slowly shook her head, her expression colder than ever. "No."

She had never intended to conceal this.

That misunderstanding about the pregnancy had been a mistake from the start. She simply hadn’t bothered to clarify it, nor had she expected Nan Huiru to tell Zhu Jianian about it.

Qin Sixue suddenly didn’t know what to say.

Perhaps Ji Wei wanted to be pregnant but hadn’t been able to conceive yet, which made Qin Sixue feel somewhat sympathetic toward her.

Zhu Jianian finally got the answer she wanted, and a faint, sinister smile curled on her lips. The miniature recording device clipped at her waist had been on the whole time.

"Sixue, it hurts so much. Will you help me treat my wound?" Zhu Jianian clutched Qin Sixue’s arm desperately, pleading.

Now that she had the evidence, it was time to act.

She knew Ji Wei wasn’t easy to deal with, so Zhu Jianian became a thousand times more cautious than ever before.

Just wait and see—she would make Ji Wei pay a devastating price and avenge the whole Zhu Family!
