Chapter 93 Shortcut

Li Shuwan spent the entire day at the hospital yesterday watching over Jiang Dingbang, who had just been rescued, but the person who had given her the news about Li Hui that morning has yet to make any move.

Around 1 a.m. tonight, the other party sent a single word, "Go," and then there was no further communication.

The moment Li Shuwan received the text message, her anxiety reached its peak, but she did not contact the other party immediately. Instead, she waited 53 minutes before calling back.

This was a code between Li Shuwan and the other party. If they received a message they didn't understand, they would wait 53 minutes before calling back.

After the phone rang, Li Shuwan heard the unsettling words: "Sorry, the number you dialed is currently switched off. Please try again later."

Li Shuwan was cautious in her actions, and naturally she had agreed with the other party on what such a situation meant.

So, Li Hui was arrested!

Was he caught by JF, or by someone else?

Whether it was the former or the latter, Li Shuwan knew that Li Hui would definitely implicate her. Li Hui was cowardly and greedy, and he would not cover for her, a cousin he had no connection with at all!

What about Brother Nie? Is he alright?

Nie Cheng was Li Shuwan's first love and the one who helped Li Shuwan plan Jiang Siyu's grandfather's car accident. However, the one who carried out their plan was Li Shuwan's cousin, Li Hui.

Nie Cheng and Li Shuwan are childhood sweethearts, neighbors, and lovers.

However, Li Shuwan broke up with Nie Cheng after she was admitted to university.

She has a brighter future ahead of her, so why should she stay in the dark and hopeless countryside for the sake of so-called love?

Fortunately, Nie Cheng knew the gap between them, and after looking for her twice, he stopped bothering her.

After Li Shuwan went to university in the city, the two lost contact due to the great distance between them.

At university, Li Shuwan lived a regular life, no longer needing to get up early every day to carry manure and plant crops, nor having to wait until it was too dark to see before carrying a heavy basket home.

Although working part-time to support herself was tiring, she could see the future in it, so Li Shuwan could endure it.

She met Jiang Dingbang by chance at a speech event held at the school. She knew at first glance that Jiang Dingbang was the only son of the Jiang Group because he often appeared on the school's confession wall.

After confirming that she hadn't mistaken him for someone else, Li Shuwan couldn't help but use various club activities to contact Jiang Dingbang.

She is beautiful, with the typical features of a southern girl. Her eyes and brows exude a gentle, watery quality, making her the kind of face that easily evokes a man's protective instincts.

Knowing she was beautiful from a young age, Li Shuwan consciously protected her face, even when working in the mountains, she would avoid exposing her face to the sun.

Therefore, it was not surprising that Jiang Dingbang would fall for Li Shuwan.

But what she didn't expect was that Jiang Dingbang was already engaged to Song Jinhe, the only daughter of the Song family, and there was no way he could have any future with her.

Li Shuwan only learned about this from Jiang Dingbang on the day she confessed her feelings to him.

He rejected her.

She was the most beautiful girl in her department at the time, and many people pursued her. According to her pride, Li Shuwan should have completely cut off contact with Jiang Dingbang after that.

But... the day after she learned about this, Li Shuwan saw the luxury car from the Jiang family coming to pick up Jiang Dingbang and take him home.

My friends say that car is worth more than five million yuan. More than five million yuan... Even if Li Shuwan gets a job at a big company in the future, it's still more money than she could earn in her whole life.

If she could capture Jiang Dingbang, she would have more than one five million.

While doing farm work, Li Shuwan worked desperately to get into the city, all for the sake of living a life free from worries about food and clothing and becoming a superior person.

Since the shortcut is right in front of her, why doesn't she take it? Why can't she take the path that others can take?

What is pride? What is dignity?

She wants money, countless amounts of money, and a big, bright house!

So, on the eve of graduation, she took the opportunity of getting Jiang Dingbang drunk to send him back to the hotel.

She reluctantly agreed to have a physical relationship with Jiang Dingbang.

However, even after arriving here, Jiang Dingbang still refused to be with her.

How could Li Shuwan accept this!

But she couldn't make a scene. In Jiang Dingbang's eyes, she had always been a gentle person. How could she make a scene?

So Li Shuwan left in a mock dejected manner, without asking Jiang Dingbang for any compensation.

Li Shuwan was not satisfied with the result, but she knew that this physical relationship would make Jiang Dingbang unable to forget her.

In particular, on the day of Jiang Dingbang's wedding, Li Shuwan learned that she was pregnant.

Seeing photos in the classmates' group chat of Jiang Dingbang and his newlywed wife, Song Jinhe, the only daughter of the Song family, going to the hospital for a check-up, Li Shuwan followed them to that hospital.

It was a private hospital. As soon as Jiang Dingbang and Song Jinhe arrived, the hospital's most capable doctors gathered together to examine Song Jinhe.

However, Li Shuwan could only hide in dark corners and spy on others, like trash that couldn't be seen by anyone.

It was during this time that Li Shuwan realized how beautiful Song Jinhe was. Although she looked sickly, she was truly beautiful.

Like a meticulously crafted white porcelain doll, her pale lips, tinged with a sickly pallor, are even more unsettling.

Li Shuwan knew she couldn't wait any longer. If Song Jinhe were less attractive, perhaps the mark she left on Jiang Dingbang's heart would last longer.

But Song Jinhe is so beautiful and comes from such a good family... Li Shuwan dared not wait any longer.

So, while Song Jinhe was going for her checkup, Li Shuwan walked past Jiang Dingbang with her pregnancy test report in her hand.

The topmost blood HCG report happened to fall right in front of Jiang Dingbang.

She successfully saw the reaction she wanted on Jiang Dingbang's face: shock, bewilderment, panic... and most importantly, joy!

He was overjoyed that she was carrying his child!

Everything that followed followed naturally.

Jiang Dingbang found Li Shuwan and took her in as a foster parent, giving her the privileged life she had always dreamed of. Even without working or toiling, she had an endless supply of money.

She also had her own daughter.

Li Shuwan was already quite content with this kind of life, but then Song Jinhe died!

She's dead!

If that's the case, why can't she become Jiang Dingbang's wife openly and honestly?

After she brought it up, Jiang Dingbang had already agreed, but he couldn't marry her because of Song Jinhe's stubborn old father's obstruction.

Why? Why is this old man from the Song family still trying to stop him even though his daughter is already dead?!

Li Shuwan hated the Song family, hating that they had become an insurmountable barrier to her happiness, which was within her reach.

She knew that her dream would only come true if the Song family died, so the Song family should die.

Just as this thought was taking root deeper and deeper in Li Shuwan's mind, Nie Cheng appeared in front of her.

She met Nie Cheng, who worked as a security guard, at a club. After arranging to meet him, Li Shuwan learned that Nie Cheng was not yet married or had children.

Because he can't let her go.
