"What do you mean?" Zhang Ying frowned when she heard that Edward would be staying late at his office tonight. "What do you mean, an emergency? Is there something more important than what is happening to my mother and me?"
"Yingying… listen. I have no time for this. I know you are angry but a big investor suddenly changed his mind and now I have to deal with it."
"Edward… you…."
"I know… I'll get home as soon as I can, right?"
"But—"
"Alright, I have to go now. I have a meeting in two minutes."
Zhang Ying frowned when she heard that he already cut off the call.
"He can't be here?" Zhang Xin asked. She was sitting across her daughter, drinking some tea that her daughter brewed. "Did he say why he can't come?"
"Mother…" Zhang Ying sent a warning gaze towards her mother. "I will go and accompany him."
"Yingying…"
Zhang Ying gave her mother a placid look. "It wasn't my fault that you didn't consider the consequences of your actions before doing it."
Zhang Xin's eyes immediately turned teary. Who would have thought that her daughter would treat her like this? "I— "
"Look, mom. I'm sorry. I'm just really tired from… taping. I need him with me. So I will go to his office."
Zhang Ying didn't wait for her mother to say anything as she left her mother's office. Right now, her priority is her fiancé.
"Young Miss, Mrs. Fu said she wanted to meet you."
Zhang Ying turned towards the Fu Family driver that was waiting for her outside of the mansion. "Now?"
"Yes."
Zhang Ying nodded. Mrs. Fu, Edward's mother, was a domineering woman who would always do everything to protect her family. To be honest, she was already expecting Mrs. Fu to meet her. But she never thought it would be this fast.

She got into the car and sighed. It seems that she needed to distance herself from her foolish mother. If she wanted to become Edward's wife, she needed to stay away from Zhang Xin.
Just as she expected, the moment she walked inside the Fu Family's mansion, she felt the weird gaze that everyone in the mansion gave her. Did they saw the video of her mother and Sera?
"Young miss… this way."
Zhang Ying nodded and followed the maid towards Mrs. Fu's office. She then watched as the maid knocked and ushered her inside.
"Mrs. Fu…" Zhang Ying said. "Good evening." Even if she was Edward's fiancé, Mrs. Fu never asked her to call her aunt or mother. She always called her Mrs. Fu and the latter never asked her to change the way she addressed her.
"Take a seat."
Zhang Ying smiled and stared at Mrs. Fu, who was standing in front of the window, staring at the lights from the garden at the back of their mansion. Despite not seeing the woman's reaction, Zhang Ying knew that she wasn't happy.
Unlike their previous meeting, Mrs. Fu didn't even say hi to her.
"You should know…" Mrs. Fu started. "I never liked you for Edward."
It was as if a huge stone was stuck in Zhang Ying's throat. This… this was indeed something she knew.
"I never said anything because you made my son happy." Mrs. Fu turned and face her. She was moving her hand and twirling the wine inside her wine glass. Then she watched as the light of the circular lighting fixture sparkled against the scarlet liquid.
After a few seconds, she lifted her head and smiled at Zhang Ying. "You don't have to act in front of me. I know what you did to get my son. And to be honest, I cannot blame you." Her blood-red lips lifted into a tightlipped smile. "So, you can take off your mask and be real with me."

"Mrs. Fu… I…"
"I know you are smart Miss Zhang but let me clarify." Mrs. Fu slowly walked towards the sofa across from the sofa where Zhang Ying was sitting. She sat and made herself comfortable before she continued. "I know that you deliberately made Miss Sera Zhang believe that… she was raped. She wasn't."
Zhang Ying gasp. Surprise flashed in her eyes. "Mrs. Fu… I don't understand."
"I know… you told your friend to befriend Sera and made her more jealous of you. I know you gave your friend the pills so she could give them to Sera. Then, Sera could use it on you."
Zhang Ying paled.
"But I am not here to talk about the past." The smile on Mrs. Fu's face turned into a beam. It was beautiful. But it sent shivers down Zhang Ying's spine. She felt exposed. It as if Mrs. Fu knew all her secrets. And she didn't like it. "I am here to tell you that your mother has been compromised. If you want to continue dating my son, you should know what to do… right?"
"Mrs. Fu— "
"For a long time… your cousin was in a very dark place. She thought she was dirty." Mrs. Fu smiled. "Her first was my son. Then you led her to believe she was no longer worthy of love."
"I—"Zhang Ying felt her throat turn dry. She needed water.
"I don't know what she would do once she discovers that it was you who schemed against her. But if I discovered that someone did something like that to me… I would probably go crazy and kill them. Of course, that is after I skin them alive and remove their nails one… by … one."
Zhang Ying gulped. She gnashed her teeth and nodded. "I understand."
"Remember, the reason why I am with you is that Edward… liked you. If he stops liking you." Mrs. Fu pursed her lips before she took a sip of her wine. "You already know what's going to happen… right?"

Pregnant with the italian's baby ✔
DISCLAIMER!!!!!!This book is probably very bad! Who am I kidding? there's no probably, it's very bad. There are probably some things that don't make sense or don't add up, and the writing in the first chapters (or all) is bad.I know I have improved but this was just a warning, so I don't get cussed out in the comments. Lol, jk. I wrote this when I was younger (I hated editing) so there are a lot of mistakes with capitalizing, punctuation, sentence structure etc.Read at your own risk. You were warned.************Excerpt. The pounding of my head could be heard from a mile away. I closed my eyes tightly and tried not to focus on the pain. I was becoming irritated by both the headache and the stupid chains. I opened my eyes and looked over at my sister, she was sleeping with her head hanging low. I looked away from her and pulled on the chains, ignoring the migraine I'm pretty sure I have. This is just pure cruelty, I really prefered staying in the room. I looked around the room, for what felt like the millionth time within this hour.I took a deep and long breath before I just let my hands hang to the sides of my head in the chains. My breathing slowed and I closed my eyes.When I opened my eyes a while after I noticed that someone was in the room. "What are you doing in here?" I asked.~~~~~~~~Highest Rank #1 in General Fiction.New cover made by @lexusloveangels. Thanks again, I love it.
