If I Only Love You This Once

That night with Jiang Ruohe, I lost love, friendship, and gained a marriage that didn't belong to me. “Yu Xiaowan, you are the most vicious woman I have ever seen.” Jiang Ruohe looked at me col...

Chapter 63 I Don’t Accept

Chapter 63 I Don’t Accept

"I, I..." Huang Minwei's face was pale and she couldn't utter a complete sentence. She looked at Jiang Mingzhe with some resentment, then got up and looked at Jiang Ruohe with red eyes.

"Ruohe, it's great that you're not dead."

"Grandpa lied to me, saying that you were dead and I wasn't pregnant. I thought I had no one to rely on, so I..." Huang Minwei looked at Jiang Ruohe cautiously.

Jiang Ruohe looked at Huang Minwei with a cold heart.

"So, from the beginning, you only cared about my money. All those kindnesses you showed were fake. You tried to attract my attention and make me fall in love with you. Ultimately, it was all for money."

At this moment, Jiang Ruohe was really on the verge of exploding. He glared at Huang Minwei fiercely, and Huang Minwei hurriedly shook her head.

"Ruohe, it's not like that. I really love you, but Grandpa lied to me. He told me you were dead. I'm just an ordinary person, so of course I have to think about my future. People are like this. I don't think I'm wrong."

"Ruohe. I love you, I really love you." Huang Minwei wanted to pull Jiang Ruohe's hand, but Jiang Ruohe pushed Huang Minwei away.

Jiang Mingzhe stood up from the sofa, glanced at Jiang Ruohe, and told him to handle the matter himself.

Seeing Jiang Mingzhe going upstairs, I didn't want to disturb them, so I was about to follow my grandfather upstairs, but Jiang Ruohe grabbed my hand. I was stunned for a moment and looked up at Jiang Ruohe.

Jiang Ruohe looked at me without saying anything, but just held my hand tightly, not letting me leave. I stood there awkwardly, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this moment, Huang Minwei saw Jiang Ruohe pulling my hand, and her eyes were glaring at me so hard that they almost popped out.

"Minwei, I won't argue with you about the inheritance anymore. Let's break up."

Huang Minwei opened her eyes wide and looked at Jiang Ruohe in disbelief.

"Ruohe, are you in love with Yu Xiaowan?"

Jiang Ruohe didn't say anything, staring at Huang Minwei coldly, as if he was enduring something. I guess Jiang Ruohe didn't want to tell anyone about what happened between Liu Xu, Gu Bei and Huang Minwei.

"Jiang Ruohe, how can you be so cruel to me? We have been in love for three years, you can't do this to me?" Huang Minwei ran over and punched Jiang Ruohe's chest, accusing him of being unfaithful.

Seeing Huang Minwei beating Jiang Ruohe, and thinking that the wounds on his body had just scabbed over, I hurriedly reached out and pushed Huang Minwei away. When I was about to tell her that Jiang Ruohe was injured, Huang Minwei slapped me, catching me off guard.

Jiang Ruohe hurriedly pushed Huang Minwei away and stared at her with a cold face.

"I never hit a woman, don't force me to do it."

"Jiang Ruohe, it was this bitch who used tricks to separate us. She must have hired someone to kidnap you. In this way, she could have gotten you by pretending to rescue you..."

"That's enough, Huang Minwei. I want to break up with you, and it's definitely not because of Yu Xiaowan." Jiang Ruohe was annoyed.

Huang Minwei looked incredulous and pressed Jiang Ruohe, asking him, if it wasn't because of me, then why did Jiang Ruohe want to break up with Huang Minwei?

"I dare say, it's definitely because of Yu Xiaowan. Otherwise, how could you change your heart so quickly?" Huang Minwei burst into tears.

"Jiang Ruohe, have you forgotten the vows we made? You said you would love me forever?"

A hint of coldness flashed across Jiang Ruohe's eyes.

"Huang Minwei, do you remember our vows?"

Huang Minwei said of course she remembered.

Jiang Ruohe snorted coldly.

"I trusted you too much before, but I didn't expect that you had been lying to me from the very beginning, telling me lies one after another."

"Huang Minwei, don't think that if you hire someone to kill Liu Xu, I won't know what happened between you two."

Huang Minwei shuddered, and there was a hint of panic in her eyes.

I was also very surprised. I never thought that Huang Minwei would do such a thing as hiring someone to kill someone.

Jiang Ruohe took out a recorder, which contained Liu Xu's last words before his death.

"Huang Minwei is pregnant with my child. We had been secretly together for over a year before she became pregnant."

Huang Minwei's face turned pale.

"I was fighting Yu Xiaowan for her, and my hand was broken. I wanted her to help me, but she ignored me. It's so disheartening. Jiang Ruohe, do you know how a woman like Huang Minwei fell in love with me?"

This made me very curious. It was true that Liu Xu was not that good-looking. When he was pursuing Huang Minwei in college, Huang Minwei didn't even look at him.

I was puzzled. How could Huang Minwei maintain a romantic relationship with Liu Xu when she had Jiang Ruohe as her official boyfriend?

Liu Xu coughed twice, and his voice came from the recorder again.

Liu Xu said that the reason Huang Minwei followed him was because he knew a secret of Huang Minwei.

Hearing this, Huang Minwei anxiously wanted to snatch the recorder from Jiang Ruohe's hand.

Jiang Ruohe took two steps back and said that he had heard this recording a long time ago.

I think it was just at the Nancheng Airport that Yin Jian received the 10 million yuan that Jiang Ruohe gave him, and then gave Jiang Ruohe a recorder.

No wonder he looked so bad when he got in the car. It seemed that he had listened to Liu Xu's recording. It was estimated that Huang Minwei's secret was not a good thing.

Liu Xu said that the secret was that Huang Minwei had been working as a prostitute since college, doing business with married men and old men, and it seemed that she could earn tens of thousands of yuan for one sleep.

I was shocked. When we were in college, Huang Minwei and I were best friends, but I never knew these things about her.

In my memory, she was a good girl who never missed classes, was nice to her classmates, and also worked part-time to save money.

Later, just because of Jiang Ruohe, we broke up and became enemies.

Liu Xu said that he liked Huang Minwei very much, but Huang Minwei ignored him. He had no choice but to secretly watch her from a distance and follow her, and he did this for more than a year.

Liu Xu discovered that Huang Minwei would go to a big hotel in the south city during her spare time every week. On the surface, she was working as a waitress, but Liu Xu found that every time she entered a guest room, she would not come out for at least half an hour, and when she came out, she was very nervous.

This made Liu Xu very confused. He wondered why Huang Minwei had been in there for so long. At first, he thought that Huang Minwei was molested by a guest, so he booked a room that Huang Minwei often went to in the name of a guest and installed a surveillance camera there. After waiting for several days, he booked the room again.

Through the surveillance camera, Liu Xu saw that the person he liked was actually doing that kind of thing with all kinds of men.

Liu Xu was very annoyed at the time. He didn't expect Huang Minwei to be that kind of woman. He originally wanted to post those videos online, but later, he thought of a better way.

At that time, he already knew that Huang Minwei and Jiang Ruohe were close, so he found Huang Minwei and showed her the videos.

In order to prevent the videos from being exposed, Huang Minwei had no choice but to follow Liu Xu. They maintained an underground relationship for more than a year, and later became pregnant unexpectedly. Huang Minwei wanted to secretly abort the child, but Liu Xu refused. He suggested to Huang Minwei that they hang the green hat on Jiang Ruohe's head, and even accompanied Huang Minwei to undergo hymenoplasty.

I glanced at Jiang Ruohe and I have to say that he is a very conservative person. He has been dating Huang Minwei for three years and has never touched her.

After Huang Minwei finished listening to the recording, she was completely limp, tears streaming down her face. Jiang Ruohe was furious. After all, he had truly loved Huang Minwei before, but he had never expected his sincerity to be met with such resentment...

"Ruohe, what I did before was because my father had cancer. I had no choice but to do it because I needed money. I was forced to be with Liu Xu. Even if I did something wrong to you, my heart really loves you..."

I looked at Huang Minwei with some disdain. Even at this time, she was still saying that she loved Jiang Ruohe. I didn't know what kind of love she was talking about. If you love someone, I think it should be love with both body and soul.

"Okay, very good. You tell Liu Xu that you were forced to do it. What about you and Gu Bei?"

Huang Minwei trembled again.

"I've already given him 500,000 yuan. Was he forced to sleep with me?" Jiang Ruohe asked loudly.

Huang Minwei was really speechless now. She just looked at Jiang Ruohe with red eyes without saying a word, while Jiang Ruohe glared at him, trying his best to suppress his emotions.

I think Jiang Ruohe is a pretty good guy. If he were a man with a worse temper, after being deceived by his girlfriend like this, he would probably beat Huang Minwei up to feel relieved.

"Huang Minwei, it's over between us. Don't worry, in ten minutes, you'll have two million more in your card." Jiang Ruohe said, and went upstairs.

There were only Huang Minwei and I in the living room. I was not very happy to see Huang Minwei in such a mess, nor did I think of saying anything mean to her at this time. I just looked at her quietly and planned to go upstairs.

"Yu Xiaowan, don't think you've won just because you found someone to expose me. I'm telling you, I'm not done with you."

I felt a little depressed as I watched Huang Minwei leave. What do you mean I won? I didn't like Jiang Ruohe, and I never thought of exposing her.

I looked up at the corridor on the second floor. The current situation was not good for me.

When I just entered the room, I heard a bang from the bathroom. When I walked in, I saw that the glass in the bathroom was broken by Jiang Ruohe again.

There was blood on the broken glass. I hurried over and saw that his hand was bleeding. I sighed.

He was already injured so badly, and now he's getting hurt even more. It's really worrying.

I pulled him out, found the medicine box, gave him anti-inflammatory treatment, and bandaged him with gauze. I looked up at Jiang Ruohe.

"I know you need an outlet right now, but you also have to take care of your body. You're covered in wounds, and you might even get scars later..."

Jiang Ruohe looked at me without saying anything. I told him to rest, stood up and was about to leave the room with the medicine box, when Jiang Ruohe suddenly hugged me from behind.

I trembled all over and dared not move. Jiang Ruohe straightened my body, leaned over and kissed my lips. I was stunned, but I quickly reacted and reached out to push him away.

With a "slap", he was slapped.

"Jiang Ruohe, don't think that you misunderstood me. Since I saved you, you want to make up for it with your feelings. I tell you, I won't accept it. If you do this, I will look down on you."

Jiang Ruohe paused, a trace of pain flashed across his eyes. He lowered his eyes and said sorry.

I didn't say anything, just glared at him, and walked out of the room. After the door was closed, I stood at the door of the corridor angrily and cursed Jiang Ruohe for being sick, but I didn't expect my grandfather to hear it.

Jiang Mingzhe stood at the door and looked at me. He didn't look angry, but waved at me and asked me to come over.

My grandfather and I went into the study. Jiang Mingzhe sat on the chair and looked at me with some apology.

"Xiao Wan, Grandpa needs to apologize to you first. Actually, when the kidnappers called last time, they didn't specifically ask you to pay the ransom."

I looked up at him and said I already knew about this.

"Grandpa, I won't be angry. I know the Jiang family, and it's more appropriate for me to go. What's more, Grandpa is trying to make me and Jiang Ruohe reconcile."

Jiang Mingzhe coughed twice in embarrassment, looked at me humbly, and said that he didn't expect me to be so smart.

"I let you go because I have enough ability to ensure your safe return."

"Grandpa, did you know from the beginning that Jiang Ruohe was kidnapped by Gu Bei? You also knew that Jiang Ruohe suffered a lot in those three days."

Jiang Mingzhe nodded.

Thinking of Jiang Ruohe's injured appearance, I looked at Jiang Mingzhe with some blame.

"Grandpa, this is too cruel. He is your grandson."

Jiang Mingzhe raised his eyebrows.

"What's so cruel about this? He can't even tell the difference between good guys and bad guys, and he's done so many things to let you down."

"Xiao Wan, I get so angry when I think about you leaving the Jiang family soon. Sometimes I even want to kill that brat. If he doesn't suffer a little, he won't wake up at all."

I looked at Jiang Mingzhe with some gratitude. I have to say, Grandpa is really good to me. Unfortunately, gratitude can only be regarded as gratitude. I can't accept Jiang Ruohe just because Grandpa is good to me. After all, there are too many unpleasant memories between him and me.

I really can't accept a man who once hurt me so deeply. What's more, Jiang Ruohe is only feeling guilty towards me because of losing Huang Minwei. He doesn't love me at all.

Sometimes, we have to distinguish between feelings and gratitude. Even if I am pregnant, I don’t want to compromise this relationship.

Seeing me like this, Jiang Mingzhe sighed several times.

"If I ask you to stay again, I won't be able to live with my conscience. But Xiaowan, I hope I can still be your grandfather. I hope you can come back to see me more often when you have time."

I looked at him with red eyes and said that he would always be my grandpa.

After leaving grandpa's room, I didn't feel like staying in the same room with Jiang Ruohe. I thought we both needed some quiet time.

I went out and wandered around the street alone, feeling a bit bored. I saw a dessert shop, so I walked in. I chose a seat by the window on the second floor, ordered a dessert, and ate it while looking at the scenery outside the window.

"Aunt."

I heard someone calling me, and I looked away. I turned back to see who it was, little Anna.

I smiled at her, asked her to come and sit opposite me, and then asked why she didn't let Xiao Shi take care of her.

A complicated look flashed across little Anna's eyes. She said that she had made Xiao Shi angry in his office, so she asked her sister to take her away.

"You came to the dessert shop alone, where is your sister?"

Little Anna told me that her sister went out for something and she ran away secretly.

"What's your sister's phone number? I'll call your sister and ask her to pick you up."

Little Anna shook her head and said no, saying she would be back soon and that her sister's rented house was nearby.

"That's fine. I'll treat you to whatever dessert you want, and after you finish eating, I'll take you home."

"Thank you, Auntie."

I ordered a dessert for little Anna. Halfway through the meal, I went to the bathroom. When I came out, little Anna looked at me happily and told me to eat quickly. After I finished eating, she took me to her house.

I nodded and sat down. I picked up some dessert with a fork and was about to put it into my mouth when I saw the happy look in little Anna's eyes and smiled.

"Auntie can't finish it, little Anna. Last time, I helped you eat a steak. How about this time, can you help me eat the remaining dessert?"

Little Anna quickly shook her head and said she was full. My eyes turned cold.

"Are you full or are you afraid to eat? Did you put laxatives in my food again?"

Little Anna shuddered all over and looked at me in surprise.

I knew it from the excited look in her eyes before. It was the same look she had when Jiang Yichen wanted to frame me. I think she was the one who caused my stomach upset last time.

Xiao Shi must have been furious when he found out and asked her sister to take little Anna away. As for why Xiao Shi refused to tell me directly, I took into consideration little Anna's father, who was an overseas client cooperating with Xiao Shi, so I can still understand him.

But when facing little Anna, who was only six years old, I really didn't understand. Not to mention that I was the one who saved her in the park, I thought that there should be no deep hatred between me and this little girl, which made her want to harm me twice in a row.

If I hadn't been pregnant, I might not have bothered with a little child and just treated her as a rebellious child. But now I am pregnant, and the fetal heart rate is not very stable. If I lose my child because of her frame-up, I don't think I can accept it.

"Why do you treat me like this?" I looked at her coldly.

Little Anna was a little anxious and said she didn't understand what I meant.

"Do you want me to check the restaurant's surveillance?"

Little Anna's eyes became panicked and she started crying, causing the other customers to look in my direction. At this moment, if I told them that a little kid wanted to frame me, they would definitely not believe it.

Little Anna seized the opportunity and hurriedly accused me of framing her.

There are so many people watching at the moment. If I try to calm her down, I'm afraid everyone will misunderstand me and I might even be drowned in saliva. I gently stroked my belly, determined not to let anything happen to my child.

I snorted coldly.

"Shall I call Xiao Shi?"

When little Anna heard Xiao Shi's name, she calmed down and stopped crying and making a fuss. At this moment, a foreign woman walked over quickly.

"Anna, what's wrong with you?"

It seemed to be little Anna's sister. I looked up at her and was about to say that she came at the right time, but a hint of surprise flashed across my eyes. She was the woman who handed me paper when I vomited in the bathroom that day.

She also looked up at me and was stunned for a moment. When little Anna saw her sister coming, she kept saying something in French. She looked very aggrieved. I guess she was probably saying how I bullied her.

I originally thought that little Anna's sister would question me, but unexpectedly, she reached out and slapped little Anna.

"Don't think that your sister doesn't know what you did. Xiao Shi told me last time. This time, did you put something in someone else's dessert again?"

The woman reached out to slap little Anna, but I stopped her.

"Children have their rebellious moments."

After all, she is still so young. If I keep caring about it, it seems a bit too stingy.

"I'm sorry, my sister has been spoiled since she was a child." The woman looked at me apologetically.

She asked little Anna to apologize to me and promise never to do such a thing again.

During the conversation, I learned her name, Kailin. She is the same age as me this year, while her sister is only six years old. Kailin is nineteen years older than her sister.

Karen said that little Anna was the child of her mother and stepfather. Her father died of illness, so her mother remarried with Karen and later had little Anna.

"Because it wasn't easy for this child to come into being, my mother and stepfather doted on Anna too much. Two years ago, my mother passed away, and my stepfather poured all his love on her and spoiled her. I'm really sorry."

I was really touched by what Karen said, and I shook my head and told her it was okay.

"I beg you not to tell Xiao Shi about this, otherwise my stepfather will make me and my sister go back to France."

I nodded and said okay. Kailin apologized to me again and took little Anna away.

I looked out the window dejectedly, my hand on my belly, not knowing what was going on. I was thinking, when my child is born, since he has no fatherly love, I will definitely put all my love on him. But if I do that, will he develop a personality like little Anna?

I took out my phone and searched on Baidu: Is it good for children to live in a single-parent family? There were many answers, all saying it was not good and that children needed a complete family. One person's answer made me feel very sad.

Because her husband cheated on her, she thought about divorce, but when she went to pick up her child from school, she changed her mind because she couldn't bear to leave her child and didn't want her child to live in a family without a mother. She also took her stepmother into consideration, so she didn't divorce and chose to forgive.

She also said that of course she didn't really forgive him, and she would never forget the hurt her husband had caused her. Although they didn't get a divorce certificate, she no longer treated her husband as well as before, and only wanted to live her own life.

I put down my phone, supported my chin with one hand, looked out the window, thought for a while, and suddenly felt that I needed to go find Jiang Ruohe.

I want to talk to him and tell him that I am pregnant. I can compromise and not divorce for the sake of the child. We can live in peace and maybe develop feelings for each other in the future.

Even if he refuses, it doesn't matter. After all, he is the child's biological father and he has the right to know about this.

I hurriedly paid the bill and rushed back to the Jiang family's old house. When I went upstairs, I saw Jiang Ruohe entering my grandfather's study, so I walked over.

I walked to the door of the study and heard my grandfather talking.

"You're regretting it now, you little brat! It's a pity there's no medicine for regret."

Jiang Ruohe remained silent.

"However, if you don't want to get divorced, grandpa can help you again."

"No need, Grandpa, I want a divorce. After the divorce, I will..."

I didn't hear what Jiang Ruohe said. I just quickly returned to the room and hid in the bathroom. Looking through the mirror, I saw that my face didn't look very good, and my heart sank.
