“What on earth have you done?! Why is my and Ge Ge’s child gone?!”

In an exquisite, snowy-white ward filled with floral fragrance, a man and woman were staring at each other, though their gazes could not be said to be one of mutual love.

“I didn’t do anything.”

Qiao Jingyun lightly shifted her gaze away from the man as she sat on the couch and arranged some flowers in the sun.

It was as though she did not see the anger on Fu Mingxuan’s face as she continued arranging the flowers leisurely.

Seeing her acting nonchalant, the fire in his heart grew stronger.

“You said before that you won’t touch her!”

“That’s right; I didn’t touch her, indeed!”

Smilingly, the woman removed a stalk from the flower basket and threw it casually on the floor.

“You!” Unable to stand her holier-than-thou attitude anymore, the man walked over, snatched the flower basket in her hands, and threw it on the floor.

“I didn’t expect you to be so evil! If anything happens to her again, rest assured; I’ll definitely not let you have a good life!”

When he was done saying that, he turned around and strode away without looking back.

Seeing her empty palms and the man’s receding back, the woman felt something prick her heart.

“Actually, you should thank me…”

Precisely once that child is gone, you can embrace the woman you love!

Tsk, tsk, tsk. You’re really… dumb!

The man, who was still stewing on his anger to Qiao Jingyun, suddenly felt guilty toward his beloved woman as he drew near her room.

Once he reached the ward, he quickly spotted the woman sleeping in bed.

“Why are you here again?!”

Tang Xiaoyu frowned slightly when she saw the man enter the ward.

From what her best friend had told her, Ji Ziming could actually locate the former using the GPS tracker on her phone.

Thus, she turned off her best friend’s phone, removed the SIM card, and threw it to one side.

Therefore, when she saw the man’s childhood friend, she got furious.

“What’s wrong with Ge Ge?”

The man ignored her outburst and just walked to the bed, looking heartbroken the moment he laid his eyes on the woman in bed.

If not for her knowing that nothing was going on between this man and her best friend, she would really think that he was the father of her best friend’s child from the way he was behaving!

“What do you think? How does she seem to you?” she spat sarcastically.

“…” His lips twitched at Tang Xiaoyu’s snappish words, but he chose to stay silent eventually.

“Let me warn you: Ge Ge’s health isn’t the best right now and her emotions are unstable! You’d better not tell your childhood friend where she is right now, capiche?” Seeing the complicated expression on his face, she warned him.

At her threat, he shook his head lightly.

“Rest assured that I won’t tell him where your friend is.”

“Good that you know!” She snorted and then chased him out despite what he had just said. “Leave now. My friend needs to rest.”

“I… want to ask what happened after I left earlier….” A brief moment of silence later, and the man did not leave but posed with some difficulty this question, instead.

The other pursed her lips and recounted everything as though trying to release all her bottled-up emotions.

“…That’s why all these are that best friend of yours’ fault! If he hadn’t lied to my best friend, none of these would have happened. I really hope that… Ge Ge never meets him again!”

That was right… He too wished that his beloved woman had not met his childhood friend…

If she had never met his childhood friend, she would not be hurt so deeply by him and be schemed against by Qiao Jingyun.

“I got it. Rest assured that I won’t tell him where Ge Ge is.”

As he promised this, he left the ward.

Clearly, Qiao Jingyun was behind this incident, but the person he hated the most right now was his childhood friend, who had been schemed on by that woman.

Clearly… they were all victims and were not to be blamed…

…

This night was destined to be a sleepless one.

Everybody, including Pei Ge, was sleepless, and some netizens were also kept awake by the online gossip.

Of course, the center of this gossip was none other than the sleepless woman.

Those online posts about her cheating on Ji Ziming remained undeleted due to the culprit’s machinations.

In fact, it even worsened. As long as one turned on their computer, regardless of the website, forum, or social-media platform, her name would constantly pop up, spreading all over the Internet.

She was, thus, on fire again.

However, this time around, the fire was dark.

This dark fire was one that would burn even the person itself.

After a night of furor, she became a sl*t that everybody was cursing.

A handful of people even prepared some broken shoes and rotten eggs, wanting to imitate the first group of women who had attacked her.

Seeing that the matter was creating more chaos, those concerned about the woman became even more worried.

The problem was that they could not find where she was.

In the Ji family’s mansion, everyone was looking downcast.

This included Qin Qitong, whose expression was the most exaggerated.

“Auntie, what to do? Sister Pei Ge is still missing and can’t be located. What if… What if those—” Crazy netizens go stir trouble with her? What should we do then?

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Madam Ji.

“It can’t be; if we can’t find her, then those outsiders won’t be able to do so as well. Ge Ge should be hiding somewhere safe right now.”

“B-But… Even if she’s hiding, she doesn’t need to turn off her phone.”

The girl had an inexplicable sense of queasiness.

This queasiness made her so agitated the moment she learned of Pei Ge’s disappearance.

“Plus, where’s cousin? Where has my cousin gone off to?! His fiancée is missing, yet he’s off somewhere; does he still want her?!”
