Qi Huimin stared intently at Lin Qingtong, then softened her voice as she spoke to Jiang Hao.

"Brother Hao, I've been feeling down these past few days and I'd like to go back to my parents' house for a few days, is that alright?"

Jiang Hao directly and decisively refused.

"Why don't you just stay at home? Why are you running around?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Huimin stared wide-eyed at Lin Qingtong, wanting to ask what to do next.

Lin Qingtong remained silent, leaving Qi Huimin to improvise on her own.

Qi Huimin's tone immediately changed, and she began to accuse him in the manner of a grief-stricken shrew.

"Aren't you going too far? I just want to go home and stay for a few days, is that not allowed?"

"The place we live in is so tiny. I have to look after your mother all day and still have to do all the chores. I'm carrying your son, can't you think about me?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao's tone also turned displeased and gloomy.

"That's my mom? What can I do? Can't you take better care of her?"

Qi Huimin immediately started faking tears.

"Since that's how you think, then there's nothing more to say. I wish you happiness, and I'll raise the child myself."

After Lin Qingtong helped hang up the phone, Qi Huimin hurriedly explained.

"He still wants to use the child to ask the old man of the Jiang family for money and property, and he won't give up easily."

Lin Qingtong nodded thoughtfully, "You did a very good job. Please stay at one of my properties for the next few days. I promise you won't be treated badly."

For some reason, Qi Huimin still trusted Lin Qingtong completely.

Qi Huimin then left with the bodyguard, while Lin Qingtong stood by the window, gazing at everything outside, her eyes suddenly becoming deep and unfathomable.

Now, Lin Qingtong only has one path in front of her: to cooperate with Shen Tinghe in exchange for more benefits and resources.

She needs to become stronger, whether it's to deal with Jiang Hao or because of her mother's ordeal.

If I am not strong enough, my mother will be bullied by others, and so will I.

But now Lin Qingtong's only hesitation is whether to cooperate with Shen Tinghe, after all, he is extremely powerful and dangerous.

If you're not careful, you'll fall into an even deeper abyss.

Just as Lin Qingtong was hesitating, she suddenly received a call from Su Wanjun.

Su Wanjun on the other end of the phone was crying, and her words were indistinct and difficult to understand.

"Tongtong, I'm so sorry... I shouldn't have listened to them..."

Lin Qingtong's heart skipped a beat after hearing only a few words.

The news of her car accident has been making headlines online these past few days. Given her mother Su Wanjun's usual personality, she would have called to ask about it long ago.

But several days passed and there was still no sign of pregnancy from Mom, so there was only one possibility.

—Something happened to her.

Lin Qingtong could only comfort Su Wanjun first and tell her to protect her own safety before changing her clothes and driving quickly to the Lin family villa.

Night fell over the Lin family villa. Lin Qingtong stepped in slowly and saw Lin Yan and Lin Jiaorui chatting happily on the sofa, with a document in front of them.

As soon as Lin Qingtong stepped into the brightly lit living room, she could clearly hear the conversation between the two.

"Now that we've got these shares, the next step is to get the properties under his name, and we'll have to find a way to get those as well."

"Dad, can I have half of these things? I also played a part in this, if I hadn't gotten her personal seal..."

Lin Yan reached out and patted Lin Jiaorui on the shoulder, looking smug.

"Don't worry, I won't treat you badly. Once I kick her out, this villa will be yours."

Hearing their shameless conversation, Lin Qingtong felt a surge of anger and grabbed a nearby trash can, which she then dumped on Lin Yan's head.

The residue and filth inside covered his head, and the stench filled the living room.

Lin Yan was furious. He slammed his fist on the table and stood up to question him.

"Who is this bastard who dares to lay a hand on me?!"

As soon as he turned his head, he saw Lin Qingtong's extremely cold gaze. A guilty look flashed across his face, and he immediately turned the tables and accused her.

"You haven't been back for so many days, and the first thing you do when you do comes back is give us the cold shoulder. Who do you think you are?"

"I really raised a thankless wretch. He started hitting me the moment he got back. I'll beat you to death today."

He raised his hand menacingly, about to attack Lin Qingtong, but was instead slapped across the face.

The crisp sound of a slap echoed within the villa. Lin Qingtong picked up a fruit knife from the coffee table and slowly twirled it, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

"Anyway, I'm all alone now, so why don't you guys see who dies first?"

For a moment, Lin Qingtong really wanted to make a move.

A scumbag and scoundrel like Lin Yan shouldn't even be allowed to live in this world.

They actually stole my mother's personal seal and transferred the shares. Could these people be any more shameless?

At this moment, Lin Qingtong had only one thought in her mind: if she were stronger, would these people dare not treat her like this?

In that instant, Lin Qingtong decided to cooperate with Shen Tinghe.

She plunged the fruit knife in her hand directly into the sofa, uttering a sentence in a sinister and terrifying tone.

“If you don’t cancel the share transfer agreement, don’t blame me for taking real action.”

Upon hearing Lin Qingtong's words, Lin Jiaorui crossed her arms and burst out laughing.

"Who do you think you are, trying to lay a hand on us? You're not Mrs. Jiang anymore, you're just a discarded slut."

It seems they already know about Lin Qingtong and Jiang Hao's divorce.
