Transmigration: On the Gossip Front-Chapter 946 - 947 Toxic Fatherly Love 79

The following days, Zhang Yu was in a state of preparing for childbirth. While she still kept updating occasionally, most of it was stock content she had prepared ahead of time.

She had started to slow down her pace, not wanting to push herself too hard—it was simply too exhausting otherwise.

As for the Wu Family’s affairs, she couldn’t care less. What mattered to her were the good health of the elders and Feng Ji, who, apart from his experiments, didn’t even cross her mind. Occasionally, he would come home to educate their eldest child.

As a soon-to-be mother, she was in great physical condition—eating well, sleeping soundly, all her health indicators were excellent.

She didn’t care about the Wu Family’s messy drama and didn’t want to know about it. But she couldn’t avoid the fact that some people insisted on stirring up trouble and demanding attention.

For example, Wu Jian, who, after failing to receive treatment, died in a foreign land. When Feng Min and Wu Hao learned of their son’s death, they burst into loud, agonized cries before going to handle the funeral matters.

Wu Min originally planned to go as well, but she felt unwell and decided against it.

As for what was causing her discomfort? Well, Wu Min was pregnant. This news utterly shocked Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu knew Wu Min was someone who cared about appearances, but she wouldn’t lie—especially about something as serious as pregnancy.

Zhang Yu also knew that Wu Min had been getting quite close to Liu Hui before. She remembered bumping into them once; she had been sitting in her car while Wu Min and Liu Hui were walking down the street together, playfully teasing and flirting—it was practically the behavior of a couple.

Looking back now, it made sense. In their past lives, wasn’t Liu Hui endlessly flattering Wu Min, absolutely infatuated with her? In this life, the Wu Family hadn’t struck it rich, and Liu Hui hadn’t fared particularly well either.

Liu Hui had attended a vocational college, in a school that was mediocre at best. After he got accepted, his family completely cut off financial support, leaving him to cover his tuition and living expenses on his own.

Forced to juggle multiple jobs, he barely managed to complete his vocational degree. As for his plans for further education, like upgrading to a bachelor’s degree? He had long since abandoned those dreams.

Compared to further education, survival was his priority. Thanks to his three years of part-time jobs during vocational school, he barely managed to land a sales job after graduating.

With commissions added in, his income was passable—but on that kind of pay, buying a house in City S without parental support was undeniably stressful.

Even though the Wu Family wasn’t as wealthy as before, Liu Hui and Wu Min were still quite well-matched, so he had no reason to reject her. After all, Wu Jian had gone missing, and Wu Hao and Feng Min’s properties would eventually become Wu Min’s.

The day Wu Min came to her, hoping to find a rich man to marry, Zhang Yu had wanted to ask, "What about Liu Hui?"

But after thinking it over, she figured it wasn’t the right question—Wu Min might just turn hostile and pin the blame on her.

What if their relationship fell apart, and others accused her of meddling in the matter? It was entirely possible that Wu Hao and Feng Min were counting on Wu Min marrying a wealthy man to transform the family’s fate.

Upon learning she was pregnant, Wu Min was overjoyed. After all, she had put in a great deal of effort to ensure everything went smoothly so she could conceive.

She had done her research, knowing that the other man’s wife had only given birth to a daughter and was physically unable to have more children. If Wu Min could bear a son, her entry into the Wealthy Family was guaranteed.

Whether Zhang Yu introduced her to a rich man or not didn’t matter—Wu Min was confident she could find a wealthy husband anyway.

What mattered most was that the man she had set her sights on was genuinely rich—he owned factories, companies, and storefronts, with a substantial monthly income. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

Once she married him, she envisioned herself living in a grand villa, driving luxury cars, shopping at high-end malls, and buying whatever caught her eye.

The price of things wouldn’t even cross her mind. She believed she’d be far more accomplished than Zhang Yu.

Meanwhile, Liu Hui had been calling Wu Min repeatedly but couldn’t get through. His frustration grew as he wondered what had gone wrong—had Wu Hao and Feng Min found out?

Liu Hui knew his economic condition wasn’t impressive, and no parents, especially those like Wu Hao and Feng Min, who were obsessed with wealth, would approve of him.

He had already devised a plan: Before Wu Min graduated, he would ensure she got pregnant. For the face-conscious Wu Hao and Feng Min, they would have no choice but to agree to the union.

Even the bride price wouldn’t be an issue, and he could easily claim his beautiful bride for himself. And then, Wu Hao and Feng Min’s property would fall into his hands.

Liu Hui was dreaming about getting rich, completely unaware that, as he schemed against Zhang Yu, she wasn’t even considering a future with him.

When Liu Hui kept failing to reach Wu Min, a couple of attempts were fine, but when it happened multiple times, he grew anxious.

He worried that Wu Hao and Feng Min might have brainwashed Wu Min into rejecting him.

Liu Hui didn’t dare go to Wu Min’s home to find her, so he opted to visit her school. What he overheard there left him utterly stunned.

From afar, Liu Hui saw Wu Min walking out of the school gates. When she reached the entrance, she suddenly quickened her pace. He thought it was because she had spotted him.

He was just about to rush forward and share how much he had missed her during their days apart.

But what came next? He stood there, watching her leap into the arms of a middle-aged man.

In an instant, Liu Hui’s face turned deathly pale. If he couldn’t comprehend the meaning behind the scene unfolding in front of him, he truly would be a colossal fool.

All along, Liu Hui had thought he held the upper hand in their relationship. He never imagined it was all just his own fantasy.

Wu Min had always had her own agenda—and she had acted on it. Liu Hui felt as though he had been struck by a lightning bolt under a clear sky.

"How could this happen? How could this happen?" Liu Hui muttered to himself, still unable to believe that Wu Min would betray him like this.

By the time he snapped out of his daze, he saw the two of them getting into a car, which quickly started up.

Watching the vehicle drive off, Liu Hui understood why Wu Min had abandoned him.

But to simply let her go? Liu Hui was unwilling to accept that outcome. After all, he had spent a great deal of money on Wu Min—there was no way he would let her toy with him like that.

Liu Hui wouldn’t give up. He resolved to reclaim all the money he had spent on her. And now that she was with a rich man, she’d undoubtedly have money on her.

He also knew Wu Min was a practical person—pleading with her about feelings and begging for her to return was entirely out of the question.

It would be better to cut to the chase and demand something material. With that thought in mind, Liu Hui quickly flagged down a passing taxi and instructed the driver to follow the car.

"Driver, I’m in a hurry. My wife’s cheating on me..." Liu Hui knew how to motivate the driver.

As for the embarrassment? They were strangers—it didn’t matter. Besides, if things went as planned, Wu Min was destined to marry him anyway, making her his wife.

Upon hearing the story, the driver stepped on the gas pedal without hesitation and followed the car closely. After catching up to the rear bumper, the driver sucked in a sharp breath. "Buddy, your wife sure is something."

Liu Hui’s face was filled with bitterness and helplessness. "I know. She despises poverty and worships wealth. But we’ve known each other since childhood—we have feelings for each other."

If it hadn’t been for his love for Wu Min, he wouldn’t have allowed Feng Min to take advantage of him back then. Had he not been manipulated, he would likely have ended up with Zhang Yu.

Look at Zhang Yu now—her days were filled with luxury outings. Her family background was solid to begin with, and she herself was so capable of making money. If he had married her back then, who knows how he’d be thriving right now?

Unfortunately, his younger self had been utterly immature, thinking that love was the most important thing.

Seeing his heartbreak, the driver tried to comfort him. "Buddy, there are plenty of women out there. If you leave this one, you’ll find someone better."

"I can tell that man she’s with has money. If your wife refuses to stay with you, then you should find a way to get the money."

"With money, all kinds of good things will come your way."

Liu Hui was already thinking along the same lines, but he couldn’t let it show. Instead, he just kept sighing, over and over again.
