"Factory manager, what should we do?!"

The pain startled the gatekeeper and the other men, who turned pale and instinctively took two steps back, staring in horror at Guo Lili on the ground.

Especially the men of Heishui Village.

They knew the Guo family's character well, and Guo Lili's words were still ringing in their ears. If they were to be extorted by Guo Lili, they would probably never be able to get away with it for the rest of their lives.

"Factory manager, what should we do..." A man's lips trembled as he looked at Ye Yun.

Ye Yun remained expressionless, pursed her lips, and coldly looked at Guo Lili, who was lying on the ground clutching her stomach and groaning in pain.

But Guo Lili kept her head down.

He didn't say anything, he just kept crying out in pain.

I don't know if it's real pain or fake pain.

She crouched down, reached out and gently lifted Guo Lili's chin, and saw Guo Lili's deathly pale face.

Guo Lili bit her lip, her freckled face contorted in pain, and glared at her, saying, "Ye Yun, if anything happens to the baby in my belly, you're finished..."

"Then I'll compensate you."

Ye Yun pinched her chin, her lips slightly curved, her voice light and airy, carrying a hint of seduction.

Guo Lili's mouth dropped open in surprise.

Ignoring the shock on her face, Ye Yun repeated, "If you miscarry, I'll compensate you with money, understand?"

Guo Lili seemed to be frightened.

But she quickly realized what was happening and gritted her teeth, saying, "Stop trying to fool me... Give me the money now, and I won't need you to do anything with me anymore. Otherwise, I'll sue you for intentional assault. I'm educated!"

Actually, her stomach didn't hurt that much.

The push Ye Yun gave her was light and gentle, and it wouldn't have affected her at all. She pretended to fall down to try and extort money from Ye Yun.

She had planned it all along when she went to steal Ye Yun's bracelet.

If she could snatch the bracelet, all the better; if not, she'd still try to take advantage of Ye Yun and extort some money from her!

Anyway, Ye Yun and her older brother are rich.

Her older brother loves Ye Yun so much that he can't bear to see her suffer any injustice, so he will definitely help Ye Yun pay for this.

If she asked Qin Zheng for money alone, he might not give it to her.

Getting involved with Ye Yun is a completely different story.

"Ye Yun, give me the money quickly..." Guo Lili stared stubbornly at Ye Yun, unaware that her voice was growing weaker and weaker.

Suddenly, everything went black before her eyes.

He fell backward with his head tilted back.

"Factory manager, she seems to have really fainted!" The gatekeeper pointed at Guo Lili's fallen body and shouted in a rough voice.

Ye Yun: "..."

She's not blind.

She glanced at Guo Lili's bloodless lips, then examined Guo Lili's body but found no suspicious bloodstains.

She took Guo Lili's wrist.

Upon feeling Guo Lili's pulse, Ye Yun was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help but twitch her lips...

...

Guo Lili fainted from hunger.

Yes, I was so hungry I fainted.

It wasn't a stomachache, nor was it from a fall; I just fell down.

She was already malnourished and weak, and she had to pretend to have a stomachache to act with Ye Yun. She exerted too much effort and couldn't keep up, so she fainted from hunger.

That evening, Qin Zheng arrived at the county hospital.

"Isn't it ridiculous? She fell and the baby in her belly was fine, but she herself fainted. She must have been starving."

Ye Yun was both angry and amused.

Looking at Guo Lili, who was still unconscious on the hospital bed receiving intravenous nutrition, she shook her head, feeling more anger at her lack of self-confidence than anything else, as a fellow woman.

Qin Zheng scoffed coldly.

"She was starving, yet the baby was still safely inside her." His words were laced with sarcasm.

Ye Yun had never seen Qin Zheng like this before.

Sarcastic, mocking.

Qin Zheng has always been calm, collected, and occasionally a bit goofy.
