"Uncle Zhou! Uncle Zhou!"
Huang Zheyue squeezed into the crowd and shouted at Zhou Mingli.
Hearing the commotion, Zhou Mingli put down what he was holding and pulled Huang Zheyue outside.
Seeing the two little ones standing not far away, looking around curiously, Zhou Mingli asked Huang Zheyue, "What's wrong?"
"That little white flower went that way."
Huang Zheyue immediately pointed to a spot not far away.
A woman's silhouette flashed by.
Zhou Mingli's eyes darkened, and he handed the items he had already paid for to Huang Zheyue, saying, "Take the child and bring these things home."
"good!"
Baihua walked quickly, and soon arrived at the outside of a large courtyard. She hesitated and didn't go in, but just wandered around outside.
Before long, Bai Hua was grabbed by someone.
The other person hurried along and pulled her to a secluded corner.
"What are you doing here?"
It was a man's voice, gloomy and displeased with Bai Hua's arrival.
Bai Hua looked at him with a wronged expression, "I was feeling unwell, that's why I came here."
“I’m carrying your child. This little guy is keeping me up all day long, making it hard for me to eat or sleep. Tell me, if I don’t come to find the father of the child, who else can I go to?”
The man was dark-skinned and muscular, and didn't look like someone to be trifled with.
The man looked down at her stomach and asked again, "You're pregnant?"
"Would I lie to you?" Bai Hua said in a sweet, coquettish voice. "You're so strong and powerful. If you weren't infertile, would I even have a chance?"
The man's heart immediately soared, and he chuckled, "Do you even need to tell me that?"
He took five yuan out of his pocket and gave it to her. "This is for buying nice things for my son. You can eat what you buy yourself. Don't use my money to support your damn man."
That bastard dared to insult her man!
Bai Hua was furious inside, but on the surface she still had to agree with him and say, "I know."
"I'm not here to ask you for money, but because something happened a few days ago that I almost... almost lost this child..." Bai Hua lowered her head, pretending to cry.
The burly, dark-skinned man's face immediately darkened. "What do you mean?! Who wants to harm my child?! Your son?"
"It's not mine, it's...it's..." Baihua started to cry.
"Tell me what it is!"
“She’s a neighbor of mine. Her husband has a crush on me, so she’s always been hostile towards me. A few days ago, she picked a fight with me and almost pushed me over. You know how precious a newborn baby is; even a bump or bruise could cause a miscarriage, so I’m really scared…”
Upon hearing this, the burly, dark-skinned man instantly flew into a rage, wishing he could immediately tear the person who wanted to harm his child to pieces!
Baihua realized his actions and immediately pulled him back, saying, "Don't be impulsive. I'm newly pregnant. If you harm her, the child will have no father!"
They said that as if they were a family.
"That bastard can hurt you once, and he can hurt you a second time. If I don't teach that bitch a lesson, what if she harms my son?" The dark-skinned man's face, which was already dark, turned even darker.
“I have an idea that will allow you to avoid so much trouble while also teaching that person a lesson. Do you want to hear it?” Bai Hua revealed her purpose, and then added, “If I weren’t pregnant with your child, I would have liked to teach her a lesson myself, but… well, I’m pregnant.”
The burly, dark-skinned man nodded without hesitation, "You say, I'll handle this!"
"Damn it, I couldn't even save my own child. I'm so ashamed to even tell anyone!"
Bai Hua lowered her voice and whispered something in the dark, muscular man's ear.
The burly, dark-skinned man revealed a rather lewd smile. "You're really ruthless."
Bai Hua smiled and gave the burly man a reproachful look, "This is also to ensure your child's safety in the future."
"I understand, I'll take care of it."
"I knew you were the most reliable."
What followed was a flirtatious exchange between the two.
Zhou Mingli had no interest in these things and quickly turned and left, his face ashen.
Men only have so many ways to deal with women, and Zhou Mingli didn't even need to think too hard to guess what kind of despicable methods they might use.
As he walked, he pondered how to use this incident to ensure that Bai Hua's entire family couldn't escape.
Soon, Zhou Mingli thought of something else.
That was a long time ago, not long after they moved here, Baihua had a conflict with someone.
The daughter of their newspaper's editor-in-chief came and pointed her finger at Bai Hua, scolding her and saying that the child she and her husband adopted actually came from Bai Hua's belly.
Since neither he nor Jiang Ci worked for the newspaper and they didn't usually gossip with their neighbors, they were unaware of what happened next.
But seeing that Bai Hua is still working at the newspaper, she should not have been affected by this incident.
Zhou Mingli lowered his eyes, and soon an idea came to him.
Since Bai Hua is selling her womb to have children for others, he'll take this a step further.
After all, even those men can't be absolutely certain that their child is theirs.
Zhou Mingli walked forward calmly. When he was almost at the newspaper's staff quarters, his gaze sharpened, his pace quickened, and he ran past as fast as he could.
A crowd had gathered around. Zhou Mingli pushed through the crowd and looked down. Huang Zheyue was lying on the ground, her face covered in injuries. Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao were both terrified and were crying loudly with their mouths open.
"Huang Zheyue, Yangyang, Miaomiao?!"
As soon as the three children looked up and saw their relatives, Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao ran over quickly, hugged Zhou Mingli's legs, and cried even harder, "Dad!"
Huang Zheyue struggled for a long time but couldn't get up from the ground.
"Ouch, did you break a bone?"
"What the hell is this? How could it be so ruthless?"
"Who knows? I didn't even see the person clearly!"
The crowd murmured among themselves.
Zhou Mingli looked at Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao. They were terrified but were alright. However, Huang Zheyue was visibly in terrible condition.
Zhou Mingli patted the two children's heads and said, "Your older brother is injured. I'll take him to the hospital. Can Yangyang and Miaomiao come with me?"
Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao nodded, sobbing. They knew that their brother Zhe Yue was seriously injured, and they let go of their father's leg.
Zhou Mingli looked at Huang Zheyue, his expression darkening further. "Besides your face, where else are you injured?"
Huang Zheyue's forehead was covered in sweat, and her face was pale as she said, "Legs..."
Zhou Mingli carried him on his back and then went to see the two little rascals.
Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao quickly followed him.
Huang Zheyue was in excruciating pain and gasped for breath. "It was...it was Engineer Huang. He discovered that I was living here a long time ago. Not long after you left, he saw that I was carrying things in my hand, so he dragged me into the alley, beat me up, and hit my legs with an iron rod...and stole everything you bought."
Huang Zheyue felt extremely guilty. "Uncle Zhou, I'm sorry."
