My steps faltered slightly.

"Same here." With my back to him, I replied coldly.

Di Jin looked at me, his expression filled with the confidence of the past.

But at this moment, I no longer thought so.

I am unable to predict what Di Jin will do next. His bigotry makes me uneasy.

But I didn't show it, and instead of saying anything I laughed, disdainfully and sarcastically, and then I walked quickly back to the car, opened the door, and got in.

The rain gradually grew heavier. In the rearview mirror, Di Jin stood firmly where he was, staring at my car.

Suddenly, the baby kicked me, and I subconsciously held my stomach and looked down.

I know she's innocent, and I feel guilty for killing her.

But I really can't give birth to her.

Really not.

Although Lou Shaotang said that there was no other evidence, he and I were still actively searching for it. Hearing Qin Lang's words, the old man didn't give up either, he had only obtained nothing like us.

With each passing day, the hope was slowly fading away. All of the media reports believed that Lou Shaotang was definitely going to die this time.

Du, du, du.

There was a knock on the door, and I opened my eyes and knocked on my swollen head with my fist. I got up from the sofa and went to open the door.

The door opened, and Little Yu stood at the entrance, holding a bowl of hot dumplings.

"Sis, let's eat some dumplings. I just made them." He handed me the dumplings with a slight smile on his face.

I still didn't have any appetite. "Just leave it for now. I don't have any appetite right now."

"Sis, go ahead and have some. You haven't eaten much in days." Little Yu retracted his smile, his face full of worry.

"Yeah, Sister Xiao Ying, just eat." She did not put down the chopsticks in her hands, but was still chewing on the dumplings in her mouth. "Look at how thin you have been these few days, even if you want to lose weight you can't take advantage of this," she jokingly advised me.

"Eat, Sis, just a few will do." Little Yu continued to advise.

It seemed that they wanted me to eat something today, so I could only nod helplessly. "Okay."

Seeing that I was finally willing to eat, Little Yu laughed with relief, and asked me: "Then are you going to eat in your room or outside?"

I thought about it. "Let's go to the restaurant."

I walked towards the dining room, past the living room, and saw the two opened suitcases, as well as the messy clothes and cosmetics on the floor. I looked at Lou Anqi.

She had sat down at the table and was eating her dumplings again, not noticing my gaze.

She thought that the day after Lou Anqi left home, Xia Peiyun would come here to make a ruckus. Who knew that she would go to America early the next morning? He also did not contact Lou Anqi during these few days.

I pulled out a chair and sat across Lou Anqi. "An Qi, you go back to France with Little Yu, are you sure you don't want to greet your family?"

Lou Anqi picked up a dumpling and dipped it in vinegar, "What's there to fight for?! I was going back to France, they know. " Her tone was indifferent.

I advised her, "Anyway, it's better to call your mother and tell her what happened."

"I won't say. She said she wouldn't care about me in the future. " She still stubbornly refused to lower her head.

I looked at Little Yu, exhausted and unable to persuade him anymore.

He immediately understood and said to Lou Anqi: "An Qi, let's talk to your mother first. It's fine if you don't call her and send her a message, at least let her know."

Although he was unwilling, Lou Anqi still listened to him. "Well, I've had dinner." She stuffed the dumplings into her mouth and said it all in one go.

I put my heart at ease, picked up my chopsticks, and just as I picked up a dumpling, the phone that was placed on the tea table rang. I thought that Qin Lang had made some recent developments, so I quickly got up to pick it up.

It was Shen Yiru.

After listening to Lou Shaotang's words that day, I immediately returned back to the South of the City Apartments after leaving the detention center. Lou Shaotang had already sent all of his bodyguards there to guard my floor. Even though I have these people protecting me, I'm still quite worried. After all, if the old gramps really sent someone to kidnap me, there would definitely be a conflict between the two parties.

But to my surprise, there was nothing happening in the Lou Family. I don't know if it's because they were completely focused on saving Lou Shaotang and didn't have the time to care about me, or some other reason. However, since I myself was also busy with matters regarding Lou Shaotang, I did not have the mind to investigate any further.

Now that Shen Yiru suddenly called me, it made me feel uneasy, and my heart skipped a beat.

Squeezing my hand, I took a deep breath and steadied my mind, then slid the button.

I waited for Shen Yiru to speak first, but she didn't. The two of us remained silent for a few seconds, before I finally opened my mouth and said, "Hello."

I didn't call her "Mom," because if I called her that, she'd be furious again and say I didn't deserve it. It's better not to humiliate yourself.

A shaky breath that sounded like it was suppressing some emotion came into my ear, and I frowned doubtfully.

"Do you have time now? Is it convenient for you to come out and meet me? " Shen Yiru asked.

I was surprised that her tone was neither anger nor command. Instead, she was discussing things with me in a very calm manner.

Having known Shen Yiru for so many years, this is the first time she spoke to me in such a tone.

What happened to her?

When I didn't say anything, she said, "If you're not free right now, you can still be late."

Her throat was hoarse and she was crying. It was easy to imagine how much grief and despair she had felt over the past few days.

Aren't I the same? However, in my heart, I have already decided to stay with Lou Shaotang for life and death. So even though the pain cuts deep into my heart, I don't feel despair, nor do I feel fear.

"Yes." "Where is it?" I raised my hand to wipe the moisture from my eyes.

Shen Yiru thought for a while and was silent for two seconds, "Let's go to Tianyue Hotel, you should get closer."

She even thought about me.

"Alright." Even though she was abnormal today, I agreed without hesitation.

"Whose number?" Seeing that I hung up, Little Yu immediately asked.

I picked up my jacket from the sofa and put the phone back in my pocket. "Shen Yiru, she asked me to go out with her."

Little Yu was startled for a moment, he immediately got up from the dining chair and walked towards me, "Sis, don't go.

His face was guarded and worried about me.

Little Yu and Lou Anqi already knew about the child. I told them about it the day I returned from the detention center. Like everyone else, they were shocked speechless for a long time. But compared to Lou Shaotang's matter, this matter is not important, and since I have to take it off, they did not worry too much about it. I was still worried that the Lou Family would punish me, so I didn't let down my guard at all.

I put on my jacket, "No, Shen Yiru isn't that kind of person." Although Shen Yiru's stomach is dark, she has always been sharp and straightforward towards me, and wouldn't use underhanded methods.

"I'll go with you." Little Yu was still worried, he took his jacket and prepared to put it on.

I stopped her. "No need. You and An Qi are at home, so you need to go back to France tomorrow.

Little Yu's hand had already slipped into his sleeve. Upon hearing my words, he immediately stopped and pouted his lips, then said with a little difficulty: "Sis, I think I'll wait for my brother-in-law's matter to be settled before I leave."

"No!" Academic importance. You left a few days late. " I flatly refused.

The words Xia Peiyun scolded Little Yu that day was deeply engraved in my mind. Although it was very infuriating, she was right on one point. Because of leukemia, Little Yu had been delayed for several years. Most of the people his age had already done something, but he was still in the ivory tower, with no experience in society. He couldn't be held up any longer.

"Little Yu, just listen to Sister Xiao Ying." Seeing my face turn serious, Lou Anqi tugged on Little Yu's sleeves and advised him.

Little Yu sighed gloomily and took off his jacket, "Alright then." "Then be careful. Call me if you need anything."

I said yes and left.

After exiting the door, the 2 bodyguards that Lou Shaotang had arranged to follow me obediently. When I got downstairs, they sat in the car that Lou Shaotang had arranged for me and headed towards the Tianyue Hotel.

Even though Lou Shaotang is currently in the detention center, he had arranged everything perfectly for me. Other than sending his bodyguards to protect me, the driver of the car was also someone else that Qin Lang had hired, a close acquaintance of Qin Lang.

Looking out the window at the gloomy weather, my heart is also gray. From the day Lou Shaotang was arrested, the weather had always been like this, and it often rained.

I wonder when it will clear up?

I thought to myself, sighing dully.

"Lou Taitai, do you want to listen to the broadcast?" the driver asked when he heard my sigh.

I smiled a little and said, "There's no need. We'll be there in a bit." Keep your face away and keep looking out the window.

Seeing that I didn't want to talk anymore, the driver tactfully stopped talking.

The Tianyue Hotel was indeed very close to the South of the City Apartments, so I arrived in less than 5 minutes. Shen Yiru had not arrived yet, so I estimated that she would still be here for a while. I decided to go to the coffee shop on the second floor to wait for her.

Just as he was about to head towards the elevator, he heard a deep male voice say, "Lou Taitai ~"

I stopped and looked around.

A man in a black suit is walking quickly towards me with a smile on his face
