When the nanny saw me, she was shaking like a sieve.
"Auntie, what are you nervous about?" I smiled. "You should have expected this when you lied to me."
The nanny fell to her knees with a thud. "Miss Chen, they forced me. If I didn't say those words, they would have killed me."
"Tell me, how much did you take?" I was indifferent. No matter how good she was at acting, I didn't believe her.
"Miss Chen, believe me. I didn't take the money. I really didn't take any benefits." The nanny kept shaking her head, tears streaming down her face.
"Well, I'll hand you over to Fu Jing if you don't say anything. I can't guarantee what will happen to you then. I'll put the ugly words in front of you. Don't regret it." My eyes became sharp, and I was disgusted with someone who was dying and still quibbling.
I stood up and walked out. I didn't want to worry about what happened after that.
In a trance, I seemed to hear some screams. I was not frightened, but it was a pity that people died for money and birds died for food. This is an unchanging truth, why can no one escape this shackle?
"What are you thinking?" Fu Jing gave me a glass of milk.
I took two sips and put them aside. "How much did chen lai give her to lie to me over and over again? If it was forced once, I could still believe that Chen Lai and Zhang Ye had met so many times, and she didn't tell me a word, saying that she was forced, I really don't believe it."
"Listen to her. A hundred thousand dollars before and after. Every time chen lai asks her to lie to you, she pays her to keep her mouth shut."
A hundred thousand. Once upon a time, I worked so hard that I could only save a hundred and eighty thousand in two or three years. A hundred thousand was indeed a tempting number for the poor.
I nodded. "Ah Jing, can Zhang Ye survive in the Fu family?"
"He is no longer qualified." Fu Jing's eyes flashed with a murderous look. "I've already sent someone to cripple him and send him to my aunt. He's just a man. She won't fall out with me over this."
"He must think that I'm just a woman, and you won't do anything to him because of me." There was a mocking smile on the corner of my mouth.
Three days later, Fu Jing came back to tell me that fu qing and Zhang Ye had already gone through the divorce process and that Zhang Ye had been kicked out of the Fu family. It was so simple.
I can imagine that it won't be too hard for me to be kicked out of Fu Jing's world when I have the baby.
When Hai Tang looked for me, I just went back to work. She asked me out. I usually set the location downstairs. Fu Jing asked me who to see, and I told him it was Hai Tang.
"Chen Qing, have you thought about it?" She asked eagerly, putting her hand on the table to touch mine, and I dodged without a trace.
I took a sip of water. "I think so."
"How is it?" Her eyes sparkled and a slight smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"I won't leave Ah Jing. Even if I can't keep my child, I won't leave Fu Jing. I'll stay with him as long as I can. I'll try to make every day my last."
I watched the smile on Hai Tang's face fade away, and her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly. "How many months are you willing to trade for your child?"
"Yes, I do."
"Chen Qing, if you... If you don't think it through, I can wait." Hai Tang tried to squeeze out a smile. "You know Fu Jing is an illegitimate child. Her mother gave birth to him for the fu family, but her mother doesn't even know where the Fu family door is."
I nodded. "I know that."
"You want to give up your own child for a moment of emotion?"
"Hai Tang, I know you love Ah Jing very much. Why don't you ask him if he loves you?" I looked at her. "If you love him and he loves you, I will leave without you telling me. You insist on letting me go. Do you really think you can be with him like this?"
Hai Tang covered her face and tears fell from her fingers. "I can't help it. I really can't help it. Mingming said that her mother couldn't get her father's love when she was young. After that, without fu jing's mother, uncle fu's heart naturally fell on aunt fu. Perhaps, this is also my way."
I took a few pieces of paper from the cardboard box on the table and handed it to her.
"I won't give up any chance of being with Fu Jing. I won't leave." After I said that, I left. I couldn't let a woman cry, not because I was soft-hearted, but because I was a little annoyed.
If I can get what I want by crying, I promise I will cry more than anyone else.
Back at the office, Fu Jing was talking to Mandy. I went to the tea room to get myself a glass of water. After a glass of water, I went to the toilet and then went to work on my own.
Mandy walked past me and the smell of perfume reached my nose. I sneezed and wasn't used to the smell.
"Don't smell my perfume if you don't like it. Do you need to sneeze like this?" Mandy was so angry at me that I was confused.
Before I could explain, another sneeze came out. I rubbed my nose and sneezed several times at the smell.
"Chen Qing, you are against me!" She jumped in anger.
I waved my hand, trying to say that it might be better to stay away from her. Who knew I was going to the side, she followed me to the side.
I kept calling, "Just stay away from me. I really didn't mean that."
"You still said you didn't?! You did it on purpose." Mandy was so angry that her face turned red that her colleagues all came over to watch.
I sneezed so hard that I couldn't stand it. The worst part was that Mandy was still chasing me.
"I really didn't mean to, please..." I covered my mouth and ran out. Mandy grabbed me.
My head was out of oxygen and my chest was stuffed up. I flung her off and ran straight to Fu Jing's office. Without saying a word, I went into the bathroom in the lounge. After washing my face, I felt a little better.
Fu Jing chased in. "What's wrong with you?"
I took a deep breath. "Mandy didn't know what perfume she was wearing. I was sneezing all the time. She said that I was going against her on purpose. I couldn't stand it when I came here. It almost killed me."
"As old as you are, you will die." Fu Jing brushed my wet hair away from my forehead.
"Really, I..." Before I could finish, I felt something strange in my body. I scratched my arm and lifted up my long shirt. There were red bumps on my arm.
I was scared, and so was Fu Jing. He carried me to the hospital without saying a word.
Not only did my arms start to itch, but my stomach, back, and legs all became itchy. I wanted to scratch, but Fu Jing wouldn't let me, but it was really itchy. It tickled like hundreds of kittens scratching their hearts.
"Ah Jing, I'm itching. You scratch me." I rubbed my back against the back of the chair.
Fu Jing held me in his arms and refused to let my body go to the back of the chair and the door. I couldn't rub against it. It was so itchy that I wanted to cry.
