Xiao Yi lightly slapped Jian Ye's hand away, stared at him and said, "You two are not suitable for each other, and your family will not agree to you being together. If you force it, you will only make her suffer. Besides, I don't think she likes you either. I am more of a match for her. Give up."

"Brother, please don't hurt me like this! I'm serious about Li Ke this time. Please let me off the hook and stop setting up a dangerous path for our brother's love life. I beg you!" Jian Ye softened her tone, hoping to move Xiao Yi with her emotions and make him have a change of heart and back down on his own.

"Stop joking. In my heart, you're not even worth a single finger of hers." Xiao Yi was unmoved by Jian Ye's pleas and instead replied in a heartless manner.

Jian Ye made a last-ditch effort: "You've only seen her once! I've been your brother for almost ten years!"

Xiao Yi chuckled and said, "The moment I saw her, I wanted to take her home. We've been brothers for ten years, and I'll still beat you up when I want to."

"Let's compete fairly and rely on our own abilities." Jian Ye took a deep breath, not wanting to suffer a humiliating defeat.

"Compete my ass! She'll be your sister-in-law from now on. If you dare to have any more dirty thoughts, I'll cut off whatever you touch!" Xiao Yi said slowly and deliberately, pinning Jian Ye against the wall with one hand while staring intently at her.

Jian Ye shivered, feeling a pang of sadness, and said with his last bit of stubbornness and grievance, "Li Ke definitely doesn't like you either, you can't force her, can you?"

Xiao Yi straightened his collar and helped him stand up straight before saying, "You don't need to worry about that."

Chen Jiaojiao is almost three months pregnant. If it weren't for the increasingly cold weather and the thicker clothes she was wearing, Chen Jiaojiao would feel that her belly would soon be impossible to hide.

Actually, her belly hadn't gotten any bigger, but she felt uneasy and kept thinking that her belly had grown a lot.

Among the refugees, countless women suffer miscarriages and stillbirths. The air is polluted, the drinking water is not thoroughly purified, and the temperature drops sharply. In such harsh conditions, it is extremely difficult to give birth to a healthy child.

But she couldn't get what she wanted, and she couldn't get rid of what she didn't want. Recently, Chen Jiaojiao tried every possible way to abort the baby in her belly.

Before she found out she was pregnant, she thought the outside was dirty and rarely went outside. Now, even though it's freezing cold, she actively responds to any errands that require her to go outside.

When they reached a secluded spot, she jumped and hopped around with all her might, even deliberately falling down the stairs, and cruelly grabbing hailstones from the roadside and stuffing them into her mouth.

Hoping that this cold, dirty, and corrosive ice water could abort the baby in her womb.

Unfortunately, the child seemed to be welded into her belly, and she just couldn't get the baby out.

Chen Jiaojiao has been utterly exhausted these days. She dreams of countless mixed-race bastards hugging her, crying and laughing, calling her "Mom." She really can't take it anymore.

Li Zhenzhen recently encountered a distressing incident. While assisting with the distribution and handover of supplies, she ran into He Yucai, an acquaintance from before.

A former big boss now lives with his family of eight in a rented three-bedroom suite in a shelter.

He Yucai's family wealth was once even greater than that of the Jin family, but now they seem to be living a somewhat cramped life.

Li Zhenzhen and He Yucai had a very brief romantic relationship through Chen Ziyue's introduction.

When He Yucai called Li Zhenzhen's name, Li Zhenzhen didn't recognize the haggard and dejected man in front of her for a while. When Li Zhenzhen heard He Yucai's reminder and remembered his identity, she felt a little flustered.

She's currently cultivating an image of an independent and resilient woman in front of Mo Qing, someone who doesn't turn back to her old ways. If that image is ruined, Mo Qing will naturally start to doubt what she said before.

He Yucai used to be a gentleman, but Li Zhenzhen was a little afraid that the He Yucai in front of her, whose glory had faded and whose life had undergone great changes, had lost his former demeanor.

The two walked aside to talk, and He Yucai said with a smile, "Sure enough, capable people can succeed anywhere. Zhenzhen, your current job is really enviable. I wonder if Boss Chen Ziyue is here too? If she is in this shelter, she must be doing very well and quite proud of herself, right?"

To avoid being seen, the two chose a secluded and extremely cold spot. Li Zhenzhen pulled her mask up over her chin and covered her mouth and nose with a scarf. At that moment, she deeply regretted revealing her face while distributing supplies, hoping to make people remember her as a hardworking logistics worker.

But she still had to deal with the person in front of her. Her eyes were slightly red as she sniffed before she spoke, "It's not as easy as Brother He makes it out to be. My two children and I were separated from our family. We've suffered so much along the way before finally finding refuge in this shelter."

"If it weren't for the person in charge seeing that my two children and I were penniless and had no one to rely on, and arranging a job for me at the supplies depot, we probably would have starved to death here long ago."

He Yucai looked both distressed and surprised, saying, "So that's how it is. How did you get separated from Boss Chen? Your relationship is quite special; she has always valued you highly!"

Li Zhenzhen explained, “My family wanted the children to study abroad, so I took them on a trip abroad for research. However, we encountered a disaster and were stranded overseas. Fortunately, we managed to catch a flight home with a fellow countryman introduced by a kind person, and we were able to return to our motherland alive, but we lost contact with our family.”
