The Villain and the Cannon Fodder’s Mother

Chapter 276 – Till the very end, he still had no idea what he had done wrong! (1)

Life after the wedding was more or less how Lin Yiyi had envisioned. The only change was that Lu Xun had packed his bags and openly moved into Lin Yiyi’s place as the live-in son-in-law.

He was finally able to lose that house that he felt uncomfortable with every minute he lived in it. Lu Xun couldn’t be happier!

Lu Mingzhe didn’t really care one way or another.

Their old house was never that lively, and his little uncle worked a lot, so he was always home alone. All in all, the Lin’s mansion was much livelier and had a warmer feel to it.

Meng Yuran was probably the only one that was not very happy. As a 14-year-old teenager, he was undergoing a lot of changes. Mentally, however, he still had the possessiveness of a child.

Especially when the two who invaded his territory were particularly shameless!

Granted, his little rebellion was nothing but the final struggle of a trapped animal. It wouldn’t do him any good!

As such, the family welcomed the shocking news amidst their loving (hectic) life.

When Zhang Xiying’s possibly pregnant news finally made it onto the internet and right after she was crowned the television empress, before she could even go on any interviews, the internet was filled with discussion Lin Yiyi and Lu Xun’s future children as well as the inheritance of their two companies in the future.

The union of Lin Yiyi and Lu Xun was not just a matter between the two of them, it was also linked to the development and future of their two companies.

As everybody knew, Lin Yiyi had two children with her ex-husband and Lu Xun had a nephew. This child was a family member, but when it came to succeeding the company, he or she was undoubtedly competition as well.

This point, however, bothered none of the children.

Meng Shanshan was too young and had no idea about any of this. Meng Yuran was just overconfident and didn’t care about Lin Yiyi’s “little company”.

Lu Mingzhe had always known that he would be succeeding Shengshi Entertainment. His little uncle had been filling his mind about “handing him Shengshi Entertainment” the minute that he was born. He personally didn’t think it was a big deal whether or not he inherited the company.

Lin Yiyi didn’t know what to make of the kids’ reactions when she learned of them.

***

While the media and the public were speculating about how ugly their family would get in the future when fighting over the inheritance, Lin Yiyi and Lu Xun called for a press conference.

They openly announced that Shengshi Entertainment would be going to Lu Mingzhe in the future and Xinri Media to Meng Yuran.

And the issue was…. Resolved just like that?

What about all the infighting within a prominent family?!

Truth was, Lin Yiyi had founded Xinri Media specifically for Meng Yuran.

In the novel, he was to fight over the female lead with the male lead, which would bring about the end of his own company.

Now that he and the male lead were step-cousins…

What kind of cousins would let their own companies go belly up fighting over a woman?

And if that was still to happen, then Lin Yiyi would truly be speechless.

Two huge companies, major players of the entertainment circle, had just resolved the issues of their succession with such ease. Never mind about the melon-eating crowd, even the upper management and regular employees were baffled.

Just like that?

This was like child’s play!

But….

If one was to really think about it, it certainly seemed very reasonable.

All in all, there were all kinds of talk and everybody had their own ideas. Nevertheless, the final say laid with those involved, and it was nobody else’s place to opine on whatever simple solution they had opted for.

Zhang Xiying was probably the most helpless one of all.

Unlike Lin Yiyi’s affinity toward the most trending list, Zhang Xiying’s clout was very limited and still a ways from Meng Yan’s. She had finally earned the title of television empress, but before she was even able to do anything with it, Lin Yiyi had dominated the top of the most trending list for days!

One way or another, Zhang Xiying had earned the television empress title fair and square. As much as she was bothered by the fact that the top of the most trending list had been taken by another, she was able to adjust her mood quickly.

The doctor had mentioned that a mother’s positive mood was important for the proper development of the baby. She had been too busy a while back, which had led to some bleeding. Luckily, the child was safe.

And now, she must better protect herself and her baby!

Ten months later, Zhang Xiying gave birth to a girl.

Meng Yan picked her name out himself and named her Meng Yanxi.

At the same time, word of Lin Yiyi’s pregnancy hit the news.

Lin Yiyi never thought about having a child.

She already had a son and daughter, what would be the one reason to go through the trouble of having another child?

Naturally, Lu Xun would go along with whatever she wants.

Little did they know, there were lots of accidents in life. Neither one of them were paying attention just once, and that was how it happened!
