"Hongmei, you can't do this to me! You can't be so heartless!" Zhao Guohua panicked. "Have you forgotten our sweet past? How can you show no mercy whatsoever?"

Xu Hongmei slapped him again. "I'm heartless? I don't care about past feelings? I gave you everything, but what did you do to me? How did you treat me? What right do you have to call me heartless?"

"You killed my child, and I will definitely avenge him. Zhao Guohua, you should pay for my child's life!"

Xu Hongmei was about to leave after she finished speaking.

Knowing there was no hope, Zhao Guohua flew into a rage and cursed, "Xu Hongmei, you slut! You were the one who didn't know your place and slept with me. You got pregnant before we were even married! You're a used woman! If I die, no one will want you anymore. You'll live your whole life being pointed at and mocked by others!"

“I’m not afraid, I just want you to pay for the child’s life!” Xu Hongmei turned her head and said firmly.

Zhao Guohua stood there, stunned.

In his memory, Xu Hongmei was a gentle, innocent, soft-hearted, and easily coaxed girl. She would believe whatever he said, and if he just coaxed her a few times, she would give him her heart.

But now, even though he has said so much, why is she still not soft-hearted?

He's already apologized to her and bowed his head to her, so why can't she forgive him just once?

How did she become so cold-blooded and ruthless?

Is this still the Xu Hongmei he knows?

Hearing Xu Hongmei's words, Li Xiyue, who was outside the door, was completely relieved. She pushed open the door, helped Xu Hongmei, and prepared to leave.

"Li Xiyue, please help me, we were once engaged..."

"Shut up!" Li Xiyue interrupted him. "Don't mention the engagement, it disgusts me!"

Zhao Guohua's mind raced. "Well, your mom and my mom have been friends for years. When I was born, your mom even asked your maternal grandfather to save me and my mom. Li Xiyue, please, for the sake of the Buddha, save me!"

"I promise you, I will never do bad things again, I will be a good person!"

"You still dare to mention my mother and my grandfather?" Li Xiyue's eyes were sharp. "When your mother gave birth to you, she had a difficult childbirth. If my mother hadn't asked my grandfather to save you and your child, you would have died long ago. Your Zhao family arranged for us to get engaged in order to repay the debt. Your parents swore in front of my grandfather that they would repay the debt to me and treat me like their own daughter."

Li Xiyue took a few steps forward, her tone menacing, "But what was the result? Your family saw that my grandfather was in trouble and I had lost my support, so they started bullying me. Not only did you secretly get together with Li Muqing, but you also conspired to kill me!"

"I went to your mother, and she gave me a few hundred yuan and sent me away. You and your son, two lives, are only worth a few hundred yuan?"

Xu Hongmei bit her lip tightly, her mouth filled with a metallic salty taste.

It turns out that Zhao Guohua and Dr. Li had such a past, and that Zhao Guohua's family were such ungrateful people!

She must have been blind to think that such a beast was someone she could entrust her life to!

Zhao Guohua's face flushed red and then turned pale, and he didn't dare to look Li Xiyue in the eye.

"Didn't I give you a chance to start over? Over the past year, I've reminded you more than once to be a good person, but you didn't cherish it. Now you know you were wrong, but it's too late!"

Li Xiyue leaned close to Zhao Guohua and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Don't you like Li Muqing? Then stick to your love and go down to be with her!"

A thunderbolt struck Zhao Guohua's mind, and he stared at Li Xiyue in disbelief.

Li Xiyue didn't argue with him anymore. She helped Xu Hongmei leave, and when they reached the door, she suddenly remembered something and turned back to say, "Oh, right, there's one more thing. Your father, who was so proud of you, lost his position as deputy factory director."

"What?" Zhao Guohua exclaimed in astonishment, "Impossible!"

"How is it impossible? Zhao Guohua, you don't know yet, do you? Your father was an enemy agent. He secretly traded with the Japanese, selling the core technology of the textile factory. Now, he has been arrested, just like you."

She found many letters from Zhao Guohua and his family in the cowshed. Every single one of them was a ploy to get close to Zhao Guohua, which aroused her suspicion. She then asked Chu Xun to investigate Zhao Weilin.

After arriving at the commune, Chu Xun immediately contacted the military in Jiangsu Province. Upon investigation, they found that Zhao Weilin was indeed involved in a problem.

Zhao Guohua was struck dumb. "My dad is an enemy spy? Impossible! My dad couldn't possibly be an enemy spy!"

"Weren't you originally going to the Northwest to find Li Muqing? But your father insisted that you come to find me, and kept pushing you to get close to me, right?" Li Xiyue asked.

Zhao Guohua nodded, "Yes... but that doesn't prove he's an enemy agent."

“Zhao Xiaoli and Li Muqing are both enemy agents. They are working for the Japanese and deliberately came to my side.”

Zhao Guohua exclaimed in surprise, "Are those two enemy agents?"

How could this be? How could Li Muqing and Zhao Xiaoli be enemy spies? How could her father work for the Japanese? Betray his country and his compatriots?

“Zhao Guohua, the police have already found out that your father is an enemy agent. Your parents have been arrested, and your house has been searched. No one can save you now. Just wait for the punishment of the law.” After saying this, Li Xiyue pulled Xu Hongmei away without looking back.

Zhao Guohua's face was ashen; he knew he was completely finished.

Xu Hongmei was trembling. Li Xiyue looked over and saw that her face was pale and bloodless. She quickly comforted her, "Don't be afraid. Zhao Guohua's family's affairs have nothing to do with you and will not involve you."

"Dr. Li, I'm still terrified. If I had really married Zhao Guohua, my family and I would have been finished." Xu Hongmei's voice was trembling.

Zhao Guohua's parents turned out to be enemy agents; she almost, almost really jumped into a fire pit!

Li Xiyue patted her hand, "So, fortune and misfortune are intertwined. Who knows if a loss is a blessing in disguise? Hongmei, meeting Zhao Guohua was your misfortune, but being able to get out of there in time is your great fortune."

"Dr. Li, I'm so glad that my child is here to help me," Xu Hongmei said, pressing her lower abdomen.

Li Xiyue nodded. "I believe the child will come back to you in the future."

Xu Hongmei smiled, "Then I will definitely be a good mother and give him double the love."
