Chapter 46: He Cuckolded Yan Mingshen

She's not like Xia Zhi, who can make him feel sorry for her just by shedding a couple of tears.

He probably forgot how she injured her hand; she'll only be worse off if she goes back to the Yan family.

Hearing her say that, Yan Mingshen's anger flared up instantly.

He grabbed Su Xiao's wrist with such force that she couldn't help but frown.

"Su Xiao, haven't you been hoping to leave me all along so you could be with the Xu family?"

Su Xiao's pupils constricted sharply as she stared at him in disbelief:

"What did you say?"

"Don't you understand what I'm saying?"

Yan Ming was so angry that he lost his mind and said hurtful things to her.

"Today's trouble might be caused by your ambiguous relationship with that Xu Lin!"

He regretted saying it as soon as he said it.

"Smack—"

The crisp sound of a slap echoed in the cramped carriage.

Su Xiao's hands were still trembling. Looking at the clear handprint on Yan Mingshen's face, she finally couldn't hold back her tears and they streamed down her face.

"Yan Mingshen, you bastard!"

How could she have fallen in love with someone like that?

Doesn't he know what's going on between her and Xu Lin?

How can you say such things now?

Yan Mingshen's head was turned to the side after being hit, his jawline taut.

The slap brought him to his senses; he lowered his eyes, his voice hoarse.

"I'm sorry, I..."

"Open the door."

Su Xiao hurriedly wiped away her tears, interrupted him, her voice filled with determination.

"I want to get off the bus."

"impossible!"

Yan Mingshen grasped her hand, his eyes filled with guilt.

"You must come with me today!"

"Yeah?"

Su Xiao gritted her teeth and suddenly leaned her body towards the car window.

She gripped the car window frame with one hand, half her body dangling outside the car, as a blast of cold air rushed into the cabin.

"Su Xiao! You're insane!"

Yan Mingshen frowned deeply and reached out to pull her.

"Come in quickly!"

"Yan Mingshen".

Su Xiao looked at him with a stubborn gaze.

"Either I jump, or you stop the car."

The car was still moving slowly, and the streetlights rushed past, casting a particularly resolute image on Su Xiao's pale face.

Yan Mingshen looked at her hand hanging outside the car, her knuckles white from the force she exerted. He felt both angry and afraid, but in the end, he gave in.

"parking!"

Yan Mingshen yelled at the driver in front, his voice filled with suppressed anger.

As soon as the car stopped, he gritted his teeth and pressed the door unlock button, his eyes almost overflowing with bloodshot rage.

"Su Xiao, you better not regret this!"

Su Xiao ignored him completely, pushed open the car door and fell out. After staggering to her feet, she walked towards Xu An's house without looking back.

Inside the car, Yan Mingshen stared at her back until she could no longer see him, then suddenly slammed his fist on the steering wheel, and the horn emitted a piercing long blast.

Fortunately, Xu An, out of concern, followed at a distance that was neither too close nor too far behind.

Seeing her get off alone, he immediately stepped on the gas and sped over.

"Xiaoxiao."

Xu An hurriedly got out of the car and saw her injuries all over her body; his heart broke.

"Don't cry, let's go home."

"An'an..."

Su Xiao leaned on her shoulder, and the trace amount of sedative she had inhaled caused her legs to buckle and she passed out due to her intense emotions.

Her pale face still bore traces of wet tears, and her chapped lips were completely devoid of color.

Xu An carried her to the car and dialed Xu Bozhou's number.

"What's up?"

It seemed like they were still having a meeting on the other end, and the incessant foreign language was giving Xu An a headache.

How long until you come back?

She was emotionally agitated and didn't care about the identity of the person opposite her; she practically roared as she spoke.

"Your wife is about to die, aren't you going to care about her now?!"

The room fell silent instantly as the executives watched Xu Bozhou's expression turn cold.

They all lowered their heads, some drinking water, others flipping through documents.

Xu Bozhou turned around, gave Meng Jin a few words of advice, and then left the venue.

"What happened?"

When he's not smiling, there's a strong sense of pressure in his eyes and brows.

Xu An's expression was also not very good. She briefly explained the current situation.

He couldn't help but lower his voice and complain.

"You didn't even bother to be as thorough as possible when you dealt with Xu Lin."

"I suspect it was done by the eldest son of the Xu family. I've already asked Chen Huai to handle it."

Xu Bozhou lowered his eyes. If this cooperation could be successful, he wouldn't have to be so restrained in the Xu family.

"Three days at most, wait for me."

He was fed up with those days when even protecting her required going in circles.

He had to climb up, at least to the top, and at least get above Yan Mingshen.

Otherwise, any promise is just empty talk.

"OK……"

Xu An hung up the phone, glanced in the rearview mirror at Su Xiao who was still asleep, and finally felt a little more at ease.

The next day at noon, the effects of the drug wore off, and Su Xiao rubbed her still dizzy head as she got out of bed.

I glanced at my phone; it was full of missed calls—from Xu An, Yan Mingshen… and even two from Xu Bozhou.

Wasn't he discussing collaborations abroad?

Su Xiao leaned against the headboard to catch her breath, then casually opened the book and flipped through it.

The trending topics pushed by mobile phones have completely changed direction.

The marketing team that Yan's family promoted to Xia Zhi was entirely composed of genius curators.

But now she has acquired the much-anticipated West Coast project.

There are numerous voices online questioning Xia Zhi.

Without the spotlight, their love story also lost its filter.

Finally, someone belatedly remembered her, the original wife who had been scolded for half a month.

Xu An pushed the door open and saw her covered in injuries, leaning against the headboard scrolling through her phone. He couldn't help but frown.

"You, the only good thing about you is your eyes."

"I can't move anymore."

Su Xiao swung her legs, which were wrapped up like a mummy, and imitated her coquettish manner.

"Okay, An'an, stop talking about me."

Xu An reluctantly put the porridge he had prepared earlier into a disposable cup, inserted a thick straw, and handed it to Su Xiao.

"Hey, I know you don't like being fed, just eat this."

Su Xiao took the cup and drank a mouthful of porridge through the straw. The temperature was just right, not hot at all.

"By the way, what about that ultrasound I asked you to check last time? Have you got the results yet?"

"That's exactly what I was about to tell you."

Xu An sat down next to her with a mocking expression.

"A major discovery has been made."

"What major discovery?"

Su Xiao knew she was deliberately keeping her in suspense, so she was happy to play along.

She mysteriously pulled up the chat history and handed it to Su Xiao like a treasure.

“My friend said that based on the ultrasound, Xia Zhi has most likely had an abortion.”

"What?"

Su Xiao frowned; she only suspected something was amiss because of the ultrasound report.

Unexpectedly...

"Anything else?"

Xu An leaned against her and flipped through the pages again.

"Look."

She pointed to a message sent from the other end.

The report said that judging from the extent of the damage, the attack must have occurred two years ago, and there was no external impact as she described.

Even if a fatal wound that leaves one on the brink of death is healed perfectly, it's impossible for it to leave no trace at all.

Su Xiao was stunned; she read the passage several times.

Two years ago, when her relationship with Yan Mingshen was at its best, she knew his schedule perfectly well and there was no way he would have the chance to meet Xia Zhi.

If what Xu An's friend said is true.

Not only was Xia Zhi's act of saving his life fake, but she also cheated on Yan Mingshen two years ago.
