"So, are you satisfied with Jiang Anqing's current situation?" Li Shuhui's tone was somewhat smug.
Xiang Jin was instantly enraged: "You did this on purpose? You deliberately refused to treat her so that her condition would worsen and I would see it?"
"So what if it is? For Aqi, what do these things matter?"
Xiang Jin was so angry that he trembled all over.
"Li Shuhui, aren't you afraid of going to jail?!"
“Go to jail? I feed her well and take her to the hospital when she’s sick. Who would let me go to jail? Besides, even if I were to go to jail, I would pave the way for A-Qi before I go.”
Xiang Jin clenched his fist.
She's such a good mother... Xiangqi is so lucky, she's even a little envious.
"To tell you the truth, Xiang Jin, I don't believe you."
Li Shuhui got straight to the point: "Aqi will be back in two months. She will be a woman of great renown then. I don't want Feng Jianian to threaten her future after he finds out the truth about the stand-in."
"so what?"
"Therefore, you must get pregnant with his child."
"If he dares to do anything reckless, I'll take out the baby in your belly."
Xiang Jin was so angry that he was trembling.
She tried her best to calm herself down and said in a calm tone, "Okay, I agree, but you have to treat her illness first."
Treat Jiang Anqing first; she can postpone the matter of the child.
"Don't worry, she's just hanging on by a thread, she won't die anytime soon! Let's wait until you get pregnant." Li Shuhui already knew what she was thinking and blocked her last resort.
Xiang Jin couldn't hold back any longer: "Li Shuhui, do you have any conscience?"
“You brought me to the Xiang family, and you watched me grow up from a baby. Don’t you have any pity for me? I’ve endured being bullied by you for decades, but now even my child is being used as a tool by you. Let me tell you, that’s unacceptable!”
"Anyway, I'm just a substitute bride, and I have no feelings for him. If you want to have this child, you can have it; I absolutely will not!"
"Not giving birth? Then just wait and see what happens to Jiang Anqing." Li Shuhui hung up the phone.
Xiang Jin wanted to throw away her phone.
He raised his hand but then hesitated, pulling it back.
There's no room for negotiation when it comes to having a child; she absolutely will not agree to it.
She was about to divorce Murong Xiao, and if she really got pregnant, the divorce would cause a lot of trouble, which would be a sin for the child.
Moreover, she didn't want her child to become a tool for the Xiang family to manipulate her.
Therefore, we need to find another way to handle this.
Xiang Jin walked back absentmindedly when a shadow suddenly flashed before her eyes. She looked up and saw Murong Xiao.
He stood quietly not far away, and it was unclear how long he had been standing there.
"What are you doing here? When did you get here?" Xiang Jin asked, somewhat flustered.
"Not long after, I just happened to hear the last sentence." Murong Xiao's expression was somewhat indifferent.
The last sentence?
"Oh, that's alright, there's nothing wrong with it," Xiang Jin said, her expression relaxing.
Murong Xiao's expression turned even uglier.
He sneered, his expression laced with sarcasm: "It seems my Murong family is no match for Miss Xiang. If Miss Xiang doesn't want children, for whom are you planning to have them?"
Xiang Jin was stunned.
What's wrong? He seems angry. Isn't not having children the unspoken rule they've always agreed upon?
"I wasn't born for anyone in particular, it's just..."
"You just don't want to have a child for me, right?"
Murong Xiao threw the vitamin bottle away.
If he hadn't gotten hungry while waiting for his meal and opened the bottle, he wouldn't have known it contained birth control pills.
OK.
Very good.
He tried his best to coax her, to win her back, and to make her forget that man, but she disregarded her health and secretly took birth control pills, playing along with his advances.
I thought their relationship had improved these days, but it turns out it was all an illusion.
Her heart is as hard as stone; it cannot be warmed at all.
There was no light in Murong Xiao's dark eyes.
"If Miss Xiang is unwilling to have children, there are plenty of others who are. I hope Miss Xiang remembers what I'm saying today, and that you will never regret it."
After a moment of silence, he turned and walked outside.
Xiang Jin stood there, not chasing after them.
In fact, she had no idea what he was angry about, so she couldn't give him the answer he wanted.
Forget it, maybe she'll be fine in a couple of days. Her mind is a bit muddled right now, and she can't think about anything else. She should deal with Jiang Anqing's matter first.
Xiang Jin went back to her room to sleep.
Murong Xiao did not return that night.
He didn't come back the following week.
The people in the villa gradually realized something was wrong and subtly inquired about the situation, but Xiang Jin said she didn't know anything.
These days, she's been busy with work while also trying to outmaneuver Li Shuhui, but Li Shuhui is determined and refuses to back down no matter what. So Xiang Jin has no choice but to go to Xiang Deming.
"Dad, please save Jiang Anqing! Her illness can't be delayed any longer, or she'll die!" Xiang Jin pleaded desperately.
Xiang Deming sighed.
"Ah Jin, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I don't know where Jiang Anqing is hidden, so how can I help you?" Xiang Deming frowned, looking helpless.
"As long as you persuade Li Shuhui to treat Jiang Anqing, you don't need to know where she is."
Xiang Jin's tone was somewhat urgent.
She knew that Li Shuhui had feelings for Xiang Deming, and that if he spoke up, things would definitely take a turn for the better.
Xiang Deming remained silent.
"Ah Jin, you should do as your mother says and get pregnant first. There's some money in this card, take it and use it. If you need more, come back to me." Xiang Deming turned his face away, not daring to look Xiang Jin in the eye.
Xiang Jin's eyes gradually turned cold.
"It was my fault, I shouldn't have come to beg you..."
“You only care about the interests of the Xiang family, you are two-faced and selfish, how could you possibly help me?”
She chuckled self-deprecatingly, "I overestimated you."
She picked up the card on the table and threw it at Xiang Deming's face: "Keep this filthy money for yourself and spend it slowly! I hope you both stay healthy until you grow old."
Xiang Jin left the Xiang family.

"Why don't you go and beg Master Xiao to help you find Jiang Anqing?" At noon, Xiang Jin met Bai Ningshuang, who was cursing the Xiang family while giving Xiang Jin some advice.
Xiang Jin shook his head: "We had a fight, and he hasn't been home for over a month."
Besides, he likes Xiang Qi, so how could he possibly offend the Xiang family for her as a substitute? He might even help the Xiang family to deal with him.
He is even more ruthless than Li Shuhui and Xiang Deming in achieving his goals.
"Damn, men are such bastards! What can we do now? Is there any other way?" Bai Ningshuang was also starting to feel troubled.
Xiang Jin shook her head; she didn't have any better ideas for the time being.
I wonder how Jiang Anqing is doing, and whether she can hold on until she can save her.
She felt somewhat discouraged, realizing how utterly useless she was as a daughter.
