Chapter 440 Each with their own ulterior motives
Did she already know her identity? Did she know the wicked things she had done to seize the Ning family's assets? Did she know her relationship with Xue Jifeng, and that she was the one who instigated Xue Jifeng to cause trouble for her?
One question after another almost suffocated Bai Limei.
As Ye Wanxi and the others had predicted, Li Suizhi was completely unaware that Bai Limei had secretly found a lover and conceived a child behind everyone's back.
Otherwise, given his personality, he would definitely kill Xue Jifeng, this ticking time bomb, first, and then kill Bai Limei and the bastard in her belly after everything was over.
Bai Limei knew this well, so she didn't dare tell him about Ye Wanxi before, for fear that he would find out about her affair with Xue Jifeng through Ye Wanxi.
But now, Bai Limei, who was in a state of extreme panic, couldn't care less about anything else. She hurriedly called Li Suizhi and nervously revealed Ye Wanxi's existence and that she had already met her.
Li Suizhi had been paying close attention to the Ning family's affairs ever since Ning Anquan's father passed away, and the fact that there hadn't been any more problems with Ning Anquan's land recently made him wary.
Just as he was figuring out how to get someone to help him gather information, he received a call from Bai Limei.
"You mean Ning Anquan also hired a highly skilled person, a minor celebrity, who's said to be quite capable, able to predict fortune and destiny and calculate karma just by meeting someone. The reason Ning Anquan's land hasn't had any more accidents is because of her help. And you, you've seen her before, you've even crossed paths with her?"
Bai Limei held the phone and timidly replied, "...Yes."
"Why are you only telling me now about something so important?"
Bai Limei hurriedly said, "I...I don't know! When Ning Anquan brought her to my house before, his two friends were also there, and they said that the woman was also his friend. I thought the girl was quite young and pretty, and I assumed she was his girlfriend or classmate, so I politely invited them to stay for dinner, but they declined."
"If I hadn't seen her in the news today, I wouldn't have known she was a celebrity, or even a master, a very powerful one, who could calculate karmic causes and past lives just by looking at her."
Bai Limei's words completely absolved her of responsibility, and she emphasized Ning Anquan's concealment and her "complete ignorance" of Ye Wanxi.
She positioned herself as a victim, making it impossible for Li Suizhi to find an excuse to reprimand her.
"Thinking about it carefully, the reason there haven't been any more accidents on that land seems to be after Ning Anquan invited her to his house. I really don't believe she has nothing to do with it. Brother Li, when she saw me that day, could it be... could it be that she noticed something? If that's the case, could she have already told Ning Anquan about us, about your plans..."
"Enough!" Li Suizhi gritted his teeth in anger and warned, "Stop overthinking and scaring yourself. If Ning Anquan really finds out about us and that the child in your belly isn't his, all our previous efforts will have been in vain."
"In other words, do you think that given Ning Anquan's personality, if he already knew the truth, you would still be able to stay in the Ning family so peacefully and comfortably, enjoying your retirement?"
After hearing his words, Bai Limei's expression softened slightly, but she really didn't want to continue living in such fear any longer.
"Brother Li, what should we do now? If nothing goes wrong with that land, it won't be enough to cripple Ning Anquan. To avoid any unforeseen complications, shouldn't we..."
Bai Limei paused for a moment, then touched her protruding belly and felt a surge of confidence: "We can't let your son really become the Ning family's son."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a cold laugh came from the other end: "Not really, not really, it's possible."
Bai Limei felt a chill in her heart. She knew that Li Suizhi was still blaming her for having this child on her own initiative.
Her palms were sweating with nervousness, but she still forced herself to retort, "You may be willing, but Ning Anquan may not be."
After Bai Limei said this, there was another silence on the other end of the phone. After more than ten seconds, Li Suizhi's cold voice could be heard again: "It's good that you know. I will handle Ning Anquan's matter as soon as possible. During this time, you don't need to do anything, otherwise..."
Li Suizhi hung up the phone before he could finish speaking, leaving Bai Limei covered in cold sweat, weakly leaning against the bed and sliding to the floor.
After finally recovering, Bai Limei's eyes were filled with resentment and bitterness.
She hated Ning Anquan, and even more so Li Suizhi and Ning Anquan's father.
After years of being a mistress, she finally became the official wife. At the last minute, she couldn't wait any longer, or perhaps she had endured enough and her ambitions had grown.
She not only wanted the Ning family's assets, but also the Li family's assets.
But she underestimated Li Suizhi's ruthlessness, and she never expected that the old man had already undergone tubal ligation.
Bai Limei could never forget the way Li Suizhi shyly told her that she was pregnant with his child, and that they could use the child to seize the Ning family's assets, turn the Ning father and son against each other, and cause Ning Anquan's father to die in agony, and the hideous look on Li Suizhi's face that made him want to devour her alive.
It was then that she learned that Ning Anquan's father had undergone sterilization before marrying her.
No matter how much she bewitched him, in his heart, his beloved wife was still his deceased wife, and his eldest son was still the one he cherished most.
That's why her child came at such an inopportune time, and might even ruin Li Suizhi's entire plan.
Li Suizhi immediately wanted to take her to have an abortion to prevent future problems.
Bai Limei was angered by his cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness, and belatedly realized that the feng shui near that house was not only harming the Ning family father and son, but also protecting herself.
From beginning to end, I was nothing more than a tool this person used to take revenge on the Ning family.
Having finally conceived, Bai Limei certainly wasn't going to give up on the child so easily.
She pleaded with Li Suizhi through tears, telling him that she was now with Ning Anquan's father every day, and that if she miscarried, Ning Anquan's father would definitely find out, and their plan would only be exposed faster.
This temporarily dispelled Li Suizhi's idea of forcing her to have an abortion, and the sudden death of Ning Anquan's father unexpectedly brought everything back on track.
But Bai Limei knew very well that this child was not her get-out-of-jail-free card. Once Li Suizhi got what he wanted, she and the child would still become abandoned pawns.
Bai Limei's hands, gripping her skirt, turned slightly white, her eyes filled with regret and resentment.
If only... if only she had been more careful back then.
One wrong step leads to another, and now there's no turning back. Ning Anquan, Li Suizhi, the old man, and that wicked little bitch are all pushing her to the brink of despair.
That's right, they forced us into all of this!
