Xiang Jin's tears flowed silently. After what seemed like an eternity, she finally heard her own voice: "Yes, I'm the one who had the abortion. You guessed right. I didn't want to keep your child because I never liked you. All I wanted was a divorce."

"Murong Xiao, let's get a divorce."

With teary eyes, Xiang Jin wiped away her tears and forced herself to remain calm.

"The six-month period is almost up, and this game should end soon. The person you were originally going to marry was not me. I am not Xiang Qi, I am Xiang Jin, just a lowly person. I don't want anything. Just show me the divorce papers, and I'll sign them anytime."

sneer.

His woman has grown too big for her britches; she dares to talk back to him, dares to bring up divorce, and even wants to leave with nothing.

She's such a good woman to him.

Ironically, he was completely helpless against her. Even though she had aborted their child, he still couldn't hate her, and even... wanted her to get pregnant again.

He was indignant at having such a lowly thought; he, the richest man in China, had actually been manipulated by this woman!

Upon hearing the word "divorce," Xiang Qi, who was enjoying the spectacle, couldn't help but applaud inwardly. Divorce is good! Divorce is good! After the divorce, she could rightfully move in, and then Murong Xiao, the Murong family, and all the prestige and glory would be hers!

"Divorce? How can that be?"

At this moment, Li Shuhui appeared at the door, still dignified, proud, elegant and charming. She first glanced at Xiang Jin, giving him a warning look, and then walked to the window, saying in a gentle tone, "Mr. Xiao, although Ajin is my adopted daughter, she was also raised with the love of the Xiang family. If she does anything wrong to you, you can educate her, but please don't get a divorce. I'm afraid she will suffer the scorn of others."

He then looked at Xiang Jin and said, "Ah Jin, quickly apologize to President Xiao."

Xiang Qi, who seemed to understand something, quickly added, "Yes, A Jin, what nonsense are you talking about? Arguing is one thing, but how can you get a divorce so easily? You're being too willful. A Xiao, my sister is immature, please be more understanding."

Xiang Jin sneered inwardly.

What a display of maternal love, what a show of sisterhood! They put on this whole act just to use their relationship with the Murong family to get Xiang Qi into the Murong family first, so that she could have an advantage.

Given the Xiang family's social standing, they couldn't even meet the threshold of the Murong family. If they divorced now, the Murong family could easily find a political marriage of equal social standing, which would lead to many uncertainties. But moving into the Murong family first would be different. They could cultivate a good relationship first, and then take the opportunity to get pregnant, which would secure their position as Mrs. Murong.

That's quite a clever scheme.

Seeing that Murong Xiao didn't speak, Xiang Qi tactfully pressed closer: "Xiao, calm down. Jin is just like this. She doesn't even give my parents any face at home. So when you came over that time and saw her mopping the floor, it was because my mother wanted to temper her temper. Everything can be discussed. Don't get upset."

As she spoke, she put her hand on Murong Xiao's back and gently patted him.

Perhaps because he was angry, Murong Xiao did not notice her ambiguous behavior. His mind was filled with the words "Let's get a divorce," and he was so angry that he was about to faint.

Xiang Jin found the scene particularly offensive.

"Yes, I have a bad temper, I'm too willful, and I've even been to jail. I'm really not a good match. You're all right. Why don't we get a divorce? What do you say, Mother and Sister?"

"you--"

"you--"

Li Shuhui and Xiang Qi were speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Xiang Jin had lost interest in watching their act. She turned over and lay down, pulling the blanket over herself completely. "I need to rest. Please leave."

"Ah Jin, how could you do this? It's so impolite. The elders and Ah Xiao are here. How can you just take a break like that?"

"I'm a patient. Do you expect me to dance for you instead of resting?"

"You—" Xiang Qi was speechless again. What's wrong with this bitch today? Her tongue is so smooth. She was full of resentment but didn't show it. On the surface, she pretended to be pitiful and kept glancing at Murong Xiao. Murong Xiao was only staring at Xiang Jin on the bed and didn't look at her at all. Her flirtatious glances went unreceived, so she had to awkwardly withdraw them.

"Then get some rest, we'll come see you again later."

Li Shuhui pulled Xiang Qi and walked outside.

Xiang Qi glanced at Murong Xiao with reluctance before leaving.

Noticing the silence in the room, Xiang Jin lifted the covers and slowly breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of her child, she suddenly felt weak and tears welled up in her eyes again.

"Is there anything else you want to say to me?" A cold, eerie voice sounded from the side.

Only then did Xiang Jin realize that Murong Xiao was still there. She silently wiped away her tears and shook her head.

Suddenly, a pair of hands grabbed her chin. The sudden pain forced her to raise her head and look directly at Murong Xiao, revealing the tears still wet in her eyes.

"You cried?"

Xiang Jin remained silent.

"Xiang Jin, do you still have the truth in your mouth?"

"Everything I said is the truth."

"Then tell me, who is that man?" The man she couldn't forget, the man who wanted to divorce her for him—he wanted to see just how remarkable he was, that she cared so much about him.

Looking into Murong Xiao's eyes, Xiang Jin knew she couldn't escape. Murong Xiao, whose anger was overflowing, needed an answer, and she had to give him one today.

What is the answer?

She thought for a moment, then said coldly, "I don't know, I don't know his name."

"Four years ago, he and I... by some twist of fate, slept together for one night, but... I fell in love with him, hopelessly. After I was released from prison, I originally wanted to find him, but the world was too vast..." She had no idea what she was saying; it was all made up.

Four years ago, she was forced into that room and spent the night with a stranger. It was a nightmare she had always wanted to escape, but now she was using it as a weapon for divorce. She thought that if she could get a divorce through this, it would be beneficial for both Jiang Anqing and herself.

Once she left Murong Xiao, she lost her value in the eyes of the Xiang family, and Jiang Anqing's life was naturally no longer in danger.

Compared to Murong Xiao, she cherished family ties more and loved freedom more.

So, disregarding shame and hierarchy, she wanted to personally expose this wound, revealing its raw, bloody state to the person she loved.

"Four years ago...where was that?" As if remembering something, the man's heart unconsciously quickened.

"The Four Seasons Hotel... If you don't believe me, you can check it out, before I went to... jail."

The hand that was gripping her chin loosened, and surprisingly, Murong Xiao's face did not show anger. Instead, he looked at her with a strange gaze.

Sure enough, at the Four Seasons Hotel, the woman with fox-like eyes, crying and looking weak and helpless, entwined with him, was her.
