Before she could even see who was speaking, Xu Yatong's first reaction was to cover her protruding belly with her arm.

Shen Jingyan noticed this action.

She sighed silently, thankful that she had managed to dissuade Xu Yatong in time, preventing her from doing something foolish in a moment of impulse.

She loves this child very much!

A dozen or so thugs escorted Zhou Zhengqing over. He was wearing a leather jacket and sunglasses, looking incredibly cool.

Upon seeing Xu Yatong, he was still somewhat excited. He took off his sunglasses and said in a fairly friendly tone:

"Tongtong, I knew you couldn't bear to abort the child. Let's find a quiet place and have a proper talk?"

Xu Yatong said coldly, "What's there to talk about with you? The child in my belly belongs to the Xu family, and has nothing to do with you! Get out! I feel nauseous just looking at you!"

When his gang of thugs saw their leader being scolded, they all looked indignant.

Zhou Zhengqing's expression changed slightly, but he managed to control his emotions.

"Tongtong, you can say whatever you want to say, you can curse me if you want, but you can't deny that the child has my Zhou blood, right? Are you planning to let the child live with you for the rest of his/her life without a name or status?"

"Stop pretending to be responsible!"

Xu Yatong showed him no respect whatsoever, pulling Feifei up with one hand and Shen Jingyan up with the other, saying, "Let's go!"

After walking a few steps, the thugs blocked the intersection.

This is a relatively narrow alley, blocked at both ends. Unless one can scale walls and rooftops, it would be difficult to escape.

"Zhou Zhengqing, what do you mean? Are you trying to use underhanded tactics against us?"

Seeing the thugs rubbing their fists together, Xu Yatong panicked a little.

Chen Jingyan, who had been silent until now, slowly spoke up: "Xu Yatong, you should have realized what kind of person he is long ago. I'm not surprised at all that he's associating with this group of hooligans."

Zhou Zhengqing had used the same methods against Shen Jingyan and Gu Zhiyun.

Zhou Zhengqing, enraged, retorted, "I'm talking to my wife, what right do you have to interrupt?"

He both loved and hated Shen Jingyan; because he couldn't have her, his attitude towards her was exceptionally bad.

Shen Jingyan felt that it was a waste of emotion to say another word to this kind of person, so she went straight up and slapped him hard across the face.

No one expected that a delicate and petite girl would dare to slap the boss in front of so many men. Even Zhou Zhengqing was caught off guard and his face was slapped so hard that he was stunned for a while.

"I called for Xu Yatong. The wedding hasn't even taken place yet, and she still dares to call me 'wife.' She deserves a beating!"

Zhou Zhengqing blushed with embarrassment and anger, and said through gritted teeth, "I won't stoop to a woman's level!"

"If you want to lower yourself to my level, you'd better see if you're my match."

Shen Jingyan smiled dismissively.

She swept her sharp gaze over the thugs blocking the intersection, her cold eyes sending chills down the spines of the group of grown men.

"Get out of my way, all of you."

"Get this annoying brat out of my way!" Zhou Zhengqing shouted at his underlings, his neck red.

Feifei panicked and shouted, "You dare touch my sister?!"

"I almost forgot, there's one more here!"

Zhou Zhengqing stared at Feifei with a lecherous look in his eyes, "I dare to touch not only your sister, but also you!"

Enraged, Xu Yatong, with her pregnant belly, stepped forward and shoved Zhou Zhengqing.

"You beast, you dare touch my sister!"

Shen Jingyan rolled up the sleeves of his coat and said casually, "Zhou Zhengqing, if you don't believe in superstitions, then come and try it."

Zhou Zhengqing was completely enraged and roared, "What are you all standing there for? Attack!"

One of the thugs, a man with a scar on his cheek, glanced timidly at Zhou Zhengqing and whispered:

"Brother, this little girl is dangerous, she's really strange. She can turn axe into something with her bare hands!"

Zhou Zhengqing looked at him with eyes full of concern for people with intellectual disabilities.

Are you out of your mind?

Scarface swallowed hard and said confidently, "Brother, it's true! Last time, the brothers were beaten terribly by her! I saw it clearly, she really did conjure an axe out of her bare hands!"

As he spoke, he kept glancing at Shen Jingyan, as if checking if she was hiding an axe in her coat.

Shen Jingyan smiled at him, which terrified the thug, who trembled all over.

This thug was one of the people who had surrounded her and Gu Zhiyun earlier.

However, he wasn't lying. That time, Shen Jingyan exchanged for an axe from the system space in order to intimidate the hooligans.

In the eyes of petty thugs, it's just turning bare hands into an axe!

Shen Jingyan wanted to scare him on purpose, so she said in a very chilling way: "These days, who still uses an axe? It's too inefficient for killing people. I use an electric drill now. Do you want to see me turn into an electric drill with my bare hands?"

The thug was so scared he almost peed his pants, and ran away crying and screaming.

As he ran, he shouted, "Brother, I'm sorry, brother, I want to live! I don't want to die!"

Scarface's sudden outburst has caused Zhou Zhengqing, the elder brother, to lose face.

Shen Jingyan then turned her gaze to Zhou Zhengqing: "Do you really want to make a move?"

Zhou Zhengqing had at least a few years of schooling, so he wouldn't be so impulsive as to actually assault three girls, one of whom was pregnant.

Seeing that Xu Yatong had no intention of talking to him, he could only say dejectedly:
