“Calm Down? ” She looked at him with her red eyes and her breathing was very unstable. “Ji Yunshen, tell me, how should I calm down? How can I calm down? ”

She had always believed and was willing to believe that this world was beautiful, even though she had experienced darkness.

But in this second, she clearly knew that she was too naive.

This world was far darker and dirtier than she had imagined.

She pushed Ji Yunshen away and turned around. She wiped the tears on her face and forced herself to calm down.

Xiao Min’s disheveled hair was a few strands wet, and there were a few tea leaves stuck to it. Most of her makeup had been ruined, and her lace white dress was also covered in yellow tea stains. She looked extremely pathetic.

She reached out and tidied her hair. She took off the tea leaves stuck to it and said in a cool voice, “Qiao Man, since you already know, I won’t hide anything from you. ”

“The child in my stomach is indeed not Mingzhang’s, and I didn’t marry him because I love him. ”

She lowered her head and looked at her own shadow on the ground. “If you think that this matter has blown up and can make you feel better, I have no objections. But are you sure that Mingzhang can accept it? ”

For more than half a year, Qiao Mingzhang had basically been put under house arrest by Xiao Min. He was not allowed to contact anyone, nor was he allowed to visit him.

The last time he saw him was a month before the wedding.

At that time, his health was already very bad. He had coronary heart disease and high blood pressure.

If he knew that the child in Xiao Min’s stomach was not his child and that she married him only because the man she loved needed her to do so, what would he do?

Could it be… …

When she thought of this, she basically did not dare to think further.

Qiao man turned around and stared at her with a pair of red eyes. “Xiao Min, you are not worthy of calling his name. ”

If it were not for her, Xiao Min would not have been able to come into contact with Qiao Mingzhang.

She was the one who harmed the Qiao Corporation and her father.

“whether you’re worthy or not, it doesn’t matter anymore. What’s important is your decision. ”

Should she make this matter public, or swallow it like a mute?

“Who said that I have to cause a storm in the city? ”

Qiao man suddenly laughed carelessly. She turned her body and picked up the bottle of red wine that Ji Yunshen had ordered earlier from the dining table. Then, she smashed it towards the dining table. In the next second, the bottle shattered into dregs. The bright red wine splashed in all directions and fell to the ground.

She picked up the dregs and walked back a few steps. She pressed it against Xiao Min’s slender and elegant neck “As long as I gently cut you, you might become a mute for the rest of your life. Even if the whole world is filled with rumors about my father being cheated on, as long as you don’t tell him all of this personally, he won’t believe it. ”

Qiao Mingzhang had let down a woman for the rest of his life. Together, they might be able to take a detour around Lin city.

However, he had fallen in love with Xiao Min.

This woman looked gentle and generous on the outside, but in reality, she was a scheming woman with first-class tactics.

Since she loved her, as long as she didn’t admit it personally, he definitely wouldn’t believe it.

“Qiao Man, do you dare? ”

Xiao Min did not dodge or even frown. Her tone was gentle, but it carried a bone-chilling coldness. “I heard that you have divorced young master JI? Then may I ask what you are going to use against me? ”

From the moment Qiao man approached Ji Yunshen, she had already thought of an ending.

Because a man like Ji Yunshen simply could not tolerate a woman’s insatiable greed.

Clearly, the facts had proven her thoughts.

“Take Your Life! ”

Qiao man pushed the glass fragment in her hand forward again. Her voice was as cold as an iceberg that had not melted for years. “Anyway, my life has long been ruined by you. I don’t need this life anymore. ”

If Xiao Meng had not had sex with Jiang Yingdong and she had plotted to marry Qiao Mingzhang, perhaps she would still be continuing to study for her degree, or traveling around the world, or perhaps she would have married Jiang Yingdong.

But all of this had been ruined by them. All of it had been ruined.

Qiao man’s expression was one of madness after a person was close to breaking down. It was as if in the next second, she would really cut down.

Xiao Min finally panicked. She gently moved back to avoid the glass fragment in her hand. “Qiao Man, what do you want? ”

“It’s very simple. Return everything you owe me. ”

The child was already full-term and was about to be born soon.

No matter what grudges there were between adults, the child was still innocent.

Moreover, she did not want to make things too ugly.

“How do you want me to return it? ”

“KNEEL DOWN! ”

Qiao man lowered her eyes and gave a low smile. Her tone was as unhurried as usual as she said word by word, “kneel down and beg for my forgiveness. ”

Xiao Min’s eyes widened in disbelief. After a long while, she said, “Qiao Man, do you know what you’re saying? ”

Putting aside the fact that she could absolutely not do that, even if there was a need, the person she needed to ask for forgiveness was not her.

All these years, she had wandered around the upper-class society, and the thing she learned the most was to endure patiently.

However, at this second, she really could not hold it in any longer.

“Xiao Min, I’m not discussing this with you. ”

Qiao man’s smile was shallow. She reached out and pinched Xiao Min’s chin. “Of course, I don’t mind having one corpse and two lives. ”

She was also pregnant before. The longer the child stayed in the womb, the deeper the relationship became.

And maternal love had always been great, without exception.

“As for Lu Yubai, I think you don’t want him to become a street rat either. Everyone will beat him up! ” Her tone was still indifferent. “You should know that as long as I want, everything can be achieved. ”

After hearing that, Xiao Min’s pupils constricted slightly. She seemed to hesitate for a few seconds before nodding. “Okay, I can kneel down or I can beg you, but you have to promise that my child will be safe and sound, and this matter will… not affect him at all. ”

This was a public place, and their identities were sensitive, so it was very easy for them to become the focus of attention.

Although there were not many people at this time.

But this was an excessive harassment, and she had no choice but to do it.

For the sake of her child, for the sake of meeting Bai, she could no longer care so much.

Qiao man raised her beautiful eyebrows and said softly, “if you are sincere enough, I can do it. ”

After saying that, she looked at the man beside her. “Mr. Ji, please help me take a video. ”

“Why do you want to take a video? ”

Xiao Min was just about to kneel down when she heard Qiao Man’s words. She quickly looked up.

“because of this video, I can be sure that you won’t continue to have any designs on my father. ”

Qiao Mingzhang was currently in the hospital. Although his health was not good, with so many professional doctors around, he would not have any problems for the time being.

However, if Xiao Min went back on her words and ran to his ear to say some nonsense, the consequences would be obvious.

“Qiao Man, don’t go too far. ”

Qiao man was still smiling, but her smile did not reach her eyes. “I went too far? When you and Lu Yubai cheated on my father and got pregnant, why didn’t you say that you went too far? ”

“Xiao Min, don’t be too ugly when you eat. Also, my patience is limited. If you find it unacceptable, you can use other methods to resolve it. But if that’s the case, I can’t guarantee that this child will be able to come to this world safely. ”

“You cursed me? ”

Xiao Min’s eyes were filled with anger, and her entire body began to tremble. “Qiao Man, don’t curse my child just because you can’t protect the child yourself. Save some morals for yourself. ”

That child was her weakness and also her wound.

When no one touched it, everything was fine.

But once someone touched it, blood would ooze out from the wound.

“thank you. So, are you going to kneel or not? ”

Qiao man obviously knew that she would obediently let her do whatever she wanted, not only because of the child in her stomach, but also because of Lu Yubai.

The Lu family was a red family. From the younger generation up, there were two generations of important figures in the military and political circles.

However, in Lu Yubai’s generation, there was no outstanding successor in the family, and Lu Yubai could be considered as an outstanding one.

However, if such a scandal broke out, he would become a useless chess piece.

Xiao Min’s calm eyes were filled with a layer of mist. She bit her lower lip hard, and then her knees touched the cold ground.

“I’m the one who let him down. ”

Qiao man leaned over and blinked. “What did you say? I didn’t hear you clearly. Please say it again. ”

Xiao Min closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and repeated, “I’m the one who let Mingzhang down. ”

No matter what had started this marriage, what Qiao Mingzhang had given her was far beyond her imagination.

She would often wake up from nightmares when she had a dream in the middle of the night.

Qiao man probably felt that she had knelt down to repent because of the child and Yubai.

However, only she herself knew that she was really repentant because of repentance.

If she knew that this marriage would end up being painful for everyone, she might as well not have had anything at all in the beginning.

Love Or… … Hate …

“I’m sorry, I still didn’t hear clearly. ”

“I said, I’m sorry to Mingzhang. I shouldn’t have been intimate with Lu Yubai during the duration of our marriage and shouldn’t have insisted on giving birth to his child. ”

Xiao Min’s every word slowly drifted into Qiao Man’s ears.

It was as if countless needles were rushing at her at the same time, piercing her heart with pain.

She didn’t cry. Instead, she smiled heartlessly. “Xiao Min, I wish your child a safe and healthy birth. I wish you a lifetime of living in this kind of shadow, unable to extricate yourself. ”

Lu Yubai wouldn’t marry her not only because she had married Qiao Mingzhang, but also because of her status.

Although the Lu family wasn’t very rich, their future partner would definitely be a woman who would be of great help to the Lu family.

Xiao Min, on the other hand, did not match up in every aspect.

She could guess that Xiao Min should have thought of this long ago.

“Alright, you can scram now. ”

Qiao man smiled and stretched out her hand, pointing in the direction of the restaurant’s entrance. “SCRAM, get out of my sight. ”

Xiao Min slowly stood up from the ground. Without looking at her or JI Yunshen, she walked out of the door.

This night seemed to be particularly cold.

It was so cold that it penetrated deep into her bones.

…

Qiao man took a few minutes to calm herself down. Then, she smiled and looked at Ji Yunshen. “I’m sorry, I don’t have an appetite anymore. ”

The man took a deep look at her, then nodded and resumed his cold and distant look.

Because of Xiao Min, the farewell dinner didn’t work out in the end.

When she walked out of the restaurant, the night wind blew, and her long hair fluttered in the wind. A few strands floated in front of her eyes, and the whole world seemed to turn dark.

She followed the man to the parking lot of the restaurant. Then, as if she remembered something, she hurriedly said, “Mr. Ji, could you please send me the video just now? ”

“I’ll send you back first. I’ll send it to you during the day. ”

“Okay. ”

It was already three o’clock in the morning when they arrived at the Green Dragon Lake apartment.

She got out of the car and stood by the car. She bent down to look at the man in the Gray Bentley. “Ji Yunshen, I wish you happiness. ”

Her life was so unfortunate, but the only thing that made her happy was that he could continue to be happy, unlike her, who no longer had any happiness to speak of.

“thank you. ”

As soon as the man finished speaking, the sound of a roaring engine was heard. The next second, the car drove away from the front of the apartment.

She watched the car gradually blend into the night before she turned around and walked deeper into the courtyard of the apartment.

She had not slept for almost the whole night, but she was not sleepy at all. She sat on the bed in a daze for a long time. It was not until Dongfang was shocked to see the color of the fish belly that she forced herself to lie down for a while.

Perhaps the bed was too soft, or perhaps she was too tired. She slept for a long time, so long that she did not want to wake up.

It was not until the phone beside her pillow started vibrating crazily that she swiped the answer button. “Let’s watch TV. ”

She reacted for a while before she realized that it was Gu Xichen on the other end.

“What’s wrong? ”

“Don’t ask. Hurry up and watch TV. ”

After saying that, Gu Xichen hung up the phone.

Qiao man was still in a daze. When she heard the man’s words, she was a few steps slower before she got out of bed and went to the living room downstairs to watch TV.

Just as she turned it on, a low and elegant male host’s voice was heard. “The upper class is a socialite with a shocking scandal. Please watch the detailed report below. ”

“Lin Yan has always been called the national goddess, and with her extraordinary family background, she has been the number one socialite in Lin city for several years in a row. However, it was this almost mythical woman who was revealed to have been bewitched when she was young. Although these leaked photos and videos have been mosaic to varying degrees, Lin Yan’s silhouette can still be clearly seen. ”

“from the images transmitted from the scene, we can see that outside the Lin residence, Fu residence, and Qingshan villa, there are large numbers of media surrounding and suppressing them. Currently, no one has responded to this matter, and Lin city’s gossip entertainment is reporting for you. ”

Qiao Man’s hand, which was holding the remote control, was shaking non-stop. There was really a backup of this video.

Yan ‘er, Yan ‘er… …

She threw herself to the SOFA, picked up the landline, and dialed Lin Yan’s number. However, the other end indicated that the phone had been turned off

She was burning with anxiety.

She had no choice but to rush upstairs, change her clothes in a hurry, and leave the house.

Before she could walk out of the courtyard of the apartment, the phone in her pocket rang again. She glanced at the caller ID and immediately swiped the answer button.

“After Xiao Min left yanyu tower last night, she was attacked. The child in her stomach died after being born… ”

Therefore, the backup that Jiang Yingdong had helped her retrieve had countless copies in the hands of the Xiao Sisters.

Was it because of the child that they took revenge on her?

Yes, it must be so, it must be so.

The Sky was covered with dark clouds in the late evening, and the rain fell down with the falling snow.

The winter in forest city was exceptionally cold. Even in the early winter, it was so cold that it was bone-chilling.

Qiao man hailed a taxi and reported the address of the Green Mountain Villa, preparing to rush over.
