The Villain and the Cannon Fodder’s Mother

Chapter 275 – How was he to “not mind what he said”? (2)

The only thing that made her feel like a bone lodged in her throat was Lin Yiyi’s wedding.

Humans have the natural tendency to compete.

Naturally, Zhang Xiying felt good when Meng Yan was nicer to her than he was to Lin Yiyi.

Nevertheless, Lin Yiyi’s wedding had topped hers. In fact, the good news of her pregnancy had been completely overshadowed by their wedding, and everyone’s attention was drawn to this new couple instead of focusing on her stomach. That almost made her mood plummet.

She had specifically chosen to get pregnant at this point in time because she felt that the timing was right.

Two of her works had been nominated this year, and word in the industry was that she would very well earn the title of television show empress this year. Instead of continuing to push forward, she felt she was better off taking the more conservative path. She would be gone for a little while having this child, but in the long run, this would bring her a lot more exposure, especially when the famous Meng Yan was the father of the child.

No matter what Zhang Xiying’s plan was, they were all very remote as far as Lin Yiyi was concerned. She didn’t care about what was going on with her ex-husband or his new wife.

Her not caring about it, however, didn’t mean that Lu Xun didn’t either.

Nobody knew that Lu Xun had sent an invitation to Meng Yan.

He even announced the good news to Meng Yan over the phone, “It was all thanks to you, Brother Yan, that I can be with Yiyi.”

Why was it thanks to him?

Because he had divorced Lin Yiyi?

Meng Yan went silent.

Lu Xun rubbed his hands together. “So, yeah, I’ve sent you an invitation. By the way, Yiyi said it isn’t appropriate for me to refer to you as Brother Yan but I think it is fine. You see, you are six years older than me. Even in the entertainment circle, we should be respectful to the elderlies and nurture the young.”

(T/N: The original owner is 5 years younger than Meng Yang. Since over a year has passed since Lin Yiyi transmigrated, that puts her at 34 physically and 24 mentally, and Lu Xun at 33.)

It was lucky that Meng Yan was a gentleman. Any other man would probably have beaten him up already.

Meng Yan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down as he said, “Xiying is pregnan,t so I don’t think I will be able to make the wedding. I will, however, be sending gifts.”

“Yes, yes, yes. That is definitely more important. Look at me, suddenly gaining a son and daughter. They are now the center of our universe. I totally get how it is.”

Meng Yan wanted to smash his cellphone when the voice from the other end stopped for a little, then came a tender female voice.

“Meng Yan?”

The voice belonged to Lin Yiyi. It was so close, yet so far away now.

She glared at Lu Xun who was already half asleep while holding onto a throw pillow before she said to Meng Yan, “Lu Xun is drunk and has no idea what he’s talking about. Don’t mind what he said.”

Meng Yan didn’t even know what to say anymore; nevertheless, he still said to her. “Congratulations to the two of you. I wish you a long and happy marriage.”

It felt like the wedding invitation was burning in his hand.

The wedding had happened earlier today, and he received the invitation just now. Even after he had received the wedding invite, Lu Xun still called him up to brag. How was he to “not mind what he said”?
