Chapter 161 Meeting in Prison
It's Zhao Mobai.
They haven't been in contact since he went to prison.
Zhao Mobai called suddenly, and his tone was unfriendly, so something must have happened.
Shen Shuangmiao had an ominous premonition.
"Zhao Mobai? What happened to you..."
"I need to see you," Zhao Mobai interrupted her, his voice somber. "Come to the prison now."
His tone hinted at madness.
Shen Shuangmiao instinctively wanted to refuse.
Her own affairs were already a mess, and she simply didn't have the energy to deal with Zhao Mobai.
"I'm not available right now..."
"Inconvenient?" Zhao Mobai chuckled on the other end of the phone, a laugh that sounded particularly chilling.
"Shen Shuangmiao, you're all pushing me to the brink, and you're still trying to talk to me about whether it's convenient or not?"
"What do you mean?" Shen Shuangmiao frowned, startled by the hatred in his words.
"What do you mean?" Zhao Mobai's voice was filled with barely suppressed grief. "My grandmother is dead! She had a heart attack and passed away last night! You dare say it has nothing to do with you?"
Shen Shuangmiao was completely stunned, her fingers holding the phone becoming slightly cold.
"Old Madam Zhao has passed away? I didn't know."
She genuinely didn't know.
Although Madam Zhao is old, she has always been in good health.
How could this happen so suddenly...?
"You don't know?" Zhao Mobai said sarcastically, "That madman Zhu Jin cut off all of the Zhao family's escape routes just to avenge you!"
"Our partners withdrew their investment, the project stalled, and my grandmother was driven to her death by anger! She was driven to her death by you!"
Shen Shuangmiao opened her mouth, but for a moment she couldn't say a word.
"Zhao Mobai, calm down."
She tried to reassure them, "I'm so sorry about this, but I really didn't know..."
Stop pretending!
Zhao Mobai interrupted her sharply, "Chen Shuangmiao, come here! I want to see with my own eyes whether you two can really be at peace with yourselves after ruining me like this!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for Shen Shuangmiao's response.
Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Shen Shuangmiao's heart sank to the bottom.
She leaned back in her chair, feeling a chill creeping over her.
The old man is innocent.
She shouldn't have to suffer like this, no matter what.
"Turn around."
Her voice was weary. "To prison."
She had to go and find out what was going on.
prison.
Meeting room.
Through the glass, Shen Shuangmiao saw Zhao Mobai.
His eyes were sinister, he wore prison clothes, had a scraggly beard, and was shrouded in a heavy aura of malevolence.
Zhao Mobai's current appearance is completely different from the elegant young master of the Zhao family he used to be.
He saw Shen Shuangmiao and a cold smile appeared on his lips.
Shen Shuangmiao sat down opposite him, picked up the communicator, and before she could speak, Zhao Mobai's cold voice came through.
"Aren't you very proud of yourself for looking at me like this now?"
Shen Shuangmiao pursed her lips: "Zhao Mobai, I am very saddened by what happened to Old Madam Zhao, but please believe me, I was unaware of it, and no one wanted this to happen."
"Unaware?" Zhao Mobai stared intently at her. "Wasn't everything Zhu Jin did for you?"
"Shen Shuangmiao, don't pretend to be innocent in front of me! You two are vicious and hypocritical, a match made in heaven!"
Shen Shuangmiao gripped the communicator tightly, suppressing her discomfort: "What's done is done. Blame and resentment won't change anything. Please accept my condolences."
"Please accept my condolences?" Zhao Mobai replied as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
He leaned forward abruptly, his face contorted in a grimace through the glass. "My grandmother is dead, and our Zhao family is doomed. You want me to accept my condolences?"
Zhao Mobai was extremely agitated, and even slammed his hands hard on the glass partition, making a dull thud.
The prison guards nearby immediately issued a warning.
Shen Shuangmiao was startled by his sudden action and instinctively shrank back.
She instinctively covered her lower abdomen with her right hand.
Seeing her action, Zhao Mobai narrowed his eyes and stared intently at Shen Shuangmiao's lower abdomen.
A few seconds later, with a complex expression on his face, he slowly sat back in his chair, picked up the communicator, and his voice became very calm.
"You're pregnant."
Shen Shuangmiao's heart skipped a beat.
She didn't expect him to see through her at this time.
Shen Shuangmiao opened her mouth, wanting to deny it, but under Zhao Mobai's gaze, any lie seemed pale.
Seeing her sudden change in expression, the last glimmer of light in Zhao Mobai's eyes went out, leaving only hatred.
He chuckled softly.
"Ha... Zhu Jin's child?"
Shen Shuangmiao turned her face away and said in a low voice, "This was just an accident. Besides, we're divorced, so I don't need to explain to you."
"Accident?"
Zhao Mobai repeated those two words, "Chen Shuangmiao, you guys are really something! You sent me to prison, drove my grandmother to her death, and now you even have a child! Are you planning to live happily as a family and crush me under your feet?"
"That's not how it is!"
Shen Shuangmiao tried to explain, but Zhao Mobai wouldn't listen at all.
"Enough!"
He abruptly interrupted, his eyes filled with undisguised hatred.
"If you won't let me have a good time, I won't let you have your way either!"
Zhao Mobai stared intently at Shen Shuangmiao's lower abdomen.
Shen Shuangmiao suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
"You just wait, you child who carries the bloodline of Zhu Jin."
Zhao Mobai's voice was low and cold, "Even if I rot to death in this prison, I will never let you get away with it. What you have done to me, I will repay you tenfold or a hundredfold!"
After saying that, he slammed the communicator onto the table, didn't look at Shen Shuangmiao again, and turned to leave with the prison guard.
Shen Shuangmiao sat in the chair, watching Zhao Mobai's disappearing figure, feeling a chill run through her body.
She slowly raised her hand and touched her lower abdomen, where she seemed to feel the pulse of life.
Shen Shuang's feelings were extremely complex.
She sighed, got up, and left.
By the time they returned to the Zhu family home, it was already dark.
The villa was brightly lit, but her heart was heavy.
Shen Shuangmiao dragged her tired steps into the living room, only to find Zhu Jin standing in front of the French windows with his back to her.
Hearing her footsteps, Zhu Jin slowly turned around, his face appearing somewhat obscure under the lamplight.
His gaze fell on Shen Shuangmiao, a hint of worry in his eyes.
"where have you been?"
Shen Shuangmiao's heart tightened slightly, and she subconsciously didn't want him to know that she had gone to see Zhao Mobai.
Especially at this time, right after Madam Zhao passed away.
She didn't want to create any more trouble or upset him further.
"I went out for a walk to clear my head."
Shen Shuangmiao avoided his gaze and headed towards the stairs, wanting to return to her room as soon as possible.
Zhu Jin did not intend to let her get away with it so easily.
"To clear your head?"
He repeated it, a hint of helplessness in his voice, "You went from relaxing to prison?"
Shen Shuangmiao froze in her tracks and turned sharply to look at him: "You sent someone to follow me?"
Zhu Jin did not deny it, but walked towards her, stopped in front of her, and looked down at her.
