Chapter 107 The Three Gossipmongers
Today, Li Rouyue and Xia Jianyong were off work, so Li Rouyue dragged Xia Jianyong along to go shopping.
When Du Wanying had the accident, not only was Li Rouyue present, but Xia Jianyong was also there. It was Li Rouyue who first noticed that Du Wanying had fallen and was bleeding, and then called for Xia Jianyong to help.
On the surface, it appears that the couple was shopping when they unexpectedly ran into Du Wanying. Du Wanying fell down, and Li Rouyue noticed and kindly called for Xia Jianyong to help.
"Your daughter is still in the hospital having surgery. Instead of going to be with her, you're making a scene here. Are you trying to extort money from us?"
Xia Jianyong's gaze was icy, leaving Du Wanying's mother speechless with shock.
Her mouth opened and closed, but she couldn't say a word.
In the end, seeing that things were not going well, Du Wanying's brother dragged his mother away.
Seeing this, Xia Jianyong smiled apologetically at everyone.
"Please excuse me, it was all a misunderstanding. Just now, that aunt's daughter, who is pregnant, fell down. My husband saw it and kindly told me to take her to the hospital for treatment."
"As a result, my aunt only heard the news that her daughter had fallen, and didn't hear the whole story. She misunderstood and thought that my husband had made her fall. She made a fuss about it to my husband, which led to a huge misunderstanding."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked as if they had suddenly realized something: "So that's why they were only talking about the child being lost and tearing each other apart. Oh, I see."
"Everyone, go home. I'm taking my wife home to get her wound bandaged."
After Xia Jianyong finished speaking, he pulled Li Rouyue and walked home.
Seeing that there was no excitement to be had, everyone turned and left.
Everyone else had left, leaving Xia Yuhuan, Zhang Chunhua, and Wang Xiaocao. The three of them huddled together, whispering to each other.
"Do you believe what Xia Jianyong said?" Zhang Chunhua asked.
Wang Xiaocao: "I don't believe him for a second. Although they didn't say directly that the child was Xia Jianyong's, if it wasn't Xia Jianyong's, why would the other party come to make trouble for Li Rouyue?"
Xia Yuhuan blinked: "I don't believe it either."
“I also think that Li Rouyue deliberately got rid of the child. If she can get away with it, Li Rouyue’s methods are quite clever,” Zhang Chunhua added.
"Hey, you believed what Xia Jianyong just said?" Wang Xiaocao pouted. "He just didn't want to lose face in front of outsiders, so he said that on purpose. Who knows how much trouble he'll cause Li Rouyue when he gets home."
Zhang Chunhua's eyes lit up: "Shall we go and take a look around the Xia family's neighborhood?"
Xia Yuhuan hesitated, "Isn't that a bit inappropriate? Besides, even if we run to the vicinity of the Xia family's house, we're so far away, and with the gate and such in between, we won't be able to hear anything, right?"
Zhang Chunhua said, "What's wrong with that? We're not breaking into people's homes, can't we just look around nearby? Let's go."
He then tried to pull Xia Yuhuan away.
Xia Yuhuan hurriedly said, "My bicycle is still there, I'll go get it."
"Hurry up, or we might not be able to hear anything," Wang Xiaocao urged.
"Okay," Xia Yuhuan replied quickly.
On the other side, Xia Jianyong took Li Rouyue home and locked the door with a cold face.
Then, he slapped Li Rouyue across the face with his backhand, his eyes so fierce it looked like he wanted to devour her.
"Did you do it? Did you have someone get rid of Du Wanying's baby?"
Li Rouyue was slapped to the ground by Xia Jianyong.
Her face stung as if it were about to split open; it burned with pain.
Li Rouyue felt pain on her face, but she felt a great sense of satisfaction in her heart.
She had finally managed to seduce Xia Jianyong, and even after he became successful, he didn't forget her or abandon her. Instead, he tried every means to kill Xia Qingqing, remarried her, and let her enjoy a life of wealth and luxury.
When she was young, she couldn't bear to let go of Xia Jianyong after he got married, so how could she easily let go now that she's older?
Xia Jianyong can only be hers; no one can take him away!
Li Rouyue's mind was filled with extreme thoughts, but she appeared weak and vulnerable on the surface.
She looked stunned and turned sharply to Xia Jianyong: "So that woman today was Du Wanying? The woman you were seeing outside?"
Xia Jianyong's gaze faltered slightly upon seeing her like this: Did Li Rouyue not know? Could it be that he had truly misunderstood her?
Li Rouyue suddenly burst into laughter the next moment: "It's truly a blessing from heaven, even the unseen forces are helping me. That bitch had ill intentions and wanted to steal you away from me, but even heaven won't allow it!"
She laughed while tears streamed down her face, looking pitiful, weak, and miserable.
Xia Jianyong was already furious after losing what might have been his son, and seeing this only fueled his anger.
But before he could make a move, Li Rouyue, who knew him extremely well, crawled forward on her knees, hugged his waist tightly, and spoke in a tearful voice.
“Brother Yong, since she miscarried, it means that even God doesn’t want her to have your child. This child is not meant to be with you.”
“Brother Yong, you’re such a self-disciplined person, I believe you would never intentionally sleep around with other women. It must have been an accident, you definitely didn’t do it on purpose.”
"Now that the child is gone, it means that even God doesn't want you to continue getting involved with her."
"Moreover, the way that woman's mother made such a scene at the gate today will definitely trigger a lot of rumors and speculations. Dealing with all of that will be exhausting for you."
"Instead of continuing to associate with her and giving her any leverage she could use against us, it would be better to take this opportunity to end things and nip this risk in the bud. What do you think, Yong-ge?"
If Li Rouyue goes against Xia Jianyong, he will really get angry and wish he could kill her.
But Li Rouyue deliberately showed weakness and stood on his side, considering his best interests and speaking up for him, which prevented Xia Jianyong from venting his anger.
After all, he did have feelings for Li Rouyue, and as long as it didn't involve any interests, he was quite tolerant of her.
Moreover, he never intended to keep Du Wanying by his side.
If it weren't for the fact that he happened to discover Du Wanying was pregnant, and that everything was going wrong for him, and that he had no children and thought that the child in her belly might be a son, he wouldn't have kept the child in Du Wanying's belly.
Now that the child has been miscarried, it's just as Li Rouyue said, a good time to clean things up.
Xia Jianyong's expression kept changing. Finally, he bent down, grabbed Li Rouyue's chin, and stared at her intently.
"You really didn't do what happened today?" Xia Jianyong asked her in a deep voice.
"No, it's really not!" Li Rouyue said, her eyes filled with tears and her voice choked with sobs. "Although I know you're angry that you have another woman outside, I never intended to harm her!"
“I’m sorry I couldn’t give you a son all these years. I thought that since we’ve already conceived by accident, and it’s a boy who can carry on your family line and continue the family line, that would be a good thing.”
“I was already planning to tell you that I would fake my pregnancy and then bring the child to live with me after it was born, so that he could raise the child legitimately. I never expected such an unexpected incident to happen today.”
"But things have come to this point, and with her mother making such a scene at the gate of the compound today, even though you've covered it up, if you continue to get entangled with Du Wanying, someone will definitely have something on you."
Li Rouyue's words were all for Xia Jianyong's benefit, which softened his heart.
Xia Jianyong's face was gloomy, and his eyes flickered, as if he was considering what to do next.
