Chapter 352 Are you worthy of being the president of the Sheng Group?
Lin Xiaoli was so frightened that she cried out.
"don't want."
"President Sheng, please look carefully at who I am. I am not her."
Sheng Tingxiao abruptly stopped, and his burning hot hands turned to wipe away her tears, the action carrying a rough tenderness.
"Lin Xiaoli, I love you. Be my woman."
His voice was deep and commanding, leaving no room for argument.
like?
Lin Xiaoli was completely stunned.
He said he liked her?
So what is Miss Qin? A backup option?
Or is it that he wants to have women on both sides while still having his heart set on a certain unattainable love?
"Mr. Sheng, I don't want to. Please let me go." She pleaded, crying, tears streaming down her face.
"Don't reject me, Xiaoli, I want you."
His patience ran out, and he lowered his head again to kiss her lips.
With a strong pull, he yanked it.
"Sizzle!"
The three buttons on the shirt popped open instantly, revealing pink lace trim and a patch of delicate skin underneath.
He buried his head and kissed her.
Lin Xiaoli was so frightened that her whole body was trembling.
The memory of the pain from the last time instantly overwhelmed her, and her body instinctively began to resist.
Besides, she was pregnant, so she couldn't let him do whatever he wanted.
"President Sheng, please let me go!"
He kissed her even more forcefully, and his hands began to unbutton her pants.
"Smack!"
A crisp, resounding slap landed squarely on his handsome face.
The air inside the entire carriage seemed to freeze.
He was hit to the side, and it took him a few seconds to slowly turn his head back, pressing the tip of his tongue against his slapped left cheek.
"You dare hit me?"
He sneered, his eyes surging with terrifying rage.
"Sheng Tingxiao, go find Miss Qin and ask her to help you!" she shouted, desperate.
Sheng Tingxiao was truly enraged this time.
"Lin Xiaoli, are you trying to push me onto another woman?"
"President Sheng, you were never mine, and I will never be your mistress."
She met his gaze, her eyes defiant.
He suddenly laughed, but the laughter didn't reach his eyes; it was full of mockery.
"Lin Xiaoli, have I spoiled you too much?"
Do you think I can't live without you?
Lin Xiaoli looked at him, her heart felt like it was being squeezed tightly by a hand, the pain making it hard for her to breathe.
Sheng Tingxiao restrained himself, maintaining the last shred of rationality in his mind.
Her tears fell lightly, like a frightened little white rabbit, and he leaned over to try to comfort her.
She leaned over and bit his neck.
"Hmm." Sheng Tingxiao groaned, and Lin Xiaoli bit down on his pectoral muscle again.
“Little thing, your teeth are pretty sharp,” he squeezed out from between his teeth.
Lin Xiaoli sobbed and tried to bite him again, but he caught her and kissed her directly on the lips.
His lips softened considerably, carrying a hint of coaxing.
Lin Xiaoli bit his lip before he let go of her.
Lin Xiaoli straightened her torn clothes, hurriedly pushed open the car door, and ran away without looking back.
Sheng Tingxiao sat in the car, his face so cold it looked like ice crystals could fall from it.
He pushed open the car door and got out, his steps a little unsteady, and walked towards the mansion.
Lin Xiaoli ran a long way in one breath, until she ran out of the villa area, before she dared to stop and catch her breath.
She shakily pulled out her phone to call a taxi when a sudden, sharp pain shot through her abdomen.
Immediately, she felt a warm liquid well up.
She looked down and, by the light of the streetlamp, saw the red figure. Terrified, her face turned deathly pale, her legs went weak, and she squatted down by the roadside, too afraid to move.
After a long while, she finally managed to dial a number, her hands trembling.
"Brother Sheng, please help me..."
Twenty minutes later, a car sped up and screeched to a halt beside her.
Shen Sheng jumped out of the car in a hurry and picked her up in his arms.
"Brother Sheng, I...I'm bleeding." Her voice was choked with sobs.
"Don't be afraid, I'll take you to the hospital. Don't worry, the baby will be fine."
He gently placed her in the back seat, and the car sped towards the hospital.
After diagnosis, it was found that she had a threatened miscarriage due to excessive emotional distress and needed to receive injections to prevent miscarriage immediately.
The doctor's words terrified her.
"Your uterine wall is relatively thin. If you lose this pregnancy, it will be very difficult for you to conceive in the future."
This may be her only child.
Lin Xiaoli lay on the hospital bed, her hand instinctively protecting her lower abdomen.
Shen Sheng stood anxiously outside the ward door, pacing back and forth.
This is President Sheng's child; he doesn't dare to imagine the consequences if he really loses him.
Should we call President Sheng?
He took out his phone, hesitated for a long time, and then dialed the number.
The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.
At this moment, Sheng Tingxiao was immersing himself in a bathtub full of ice water.
His strong physique was excellent, but even he was shivering from the cold.
He closed his eyes, reviewing everything that had happened that night.
There's something wrong with that glass of wine.
Someone drugged him.
He mentally went through everyone who had toasted him that night, determined to find that person.
Is it the Book of Qin?
No, she was very well-behaved and didn't touch his cup all night.
Meanwhile, Qin Shu was sitting elegantly in a black luxury car.
The car was parked on the road outside the old residential area where Lin Xiaoli rented.
A man jogged to the car window and respectfully reported.
"Miss Qin, Mr. Sheng picked up a woman here last night."
"I checked, and the person living here is Mr. Sheng's former assistant, Lin Xiaoli."
Qin Shu's dark manicured nails glided across the phone screen, her eyes deep and thoughtful.
"You keep a close eye on this woman and see if she's coming back tonight."
"yes."
The car window slowly rolled up, shutting out the outside world.
A cold smile curled at the corners of Qin Shu's lips.
Lin Xiaoli?
She wanted to see who this person was, daring to touch her man.
The position of Mrs. Sheng, the president of the Sheng Group, can only belong to her.
The long night is finally over.
Lin Xiaoli woke up the next morning.
She carefully moved her body and went to the restroom.
Seeing that the bleeding had stopped, my heart finally settled down.
When the doctor came to check on her, he saw that she was awake and gave her a few more instructions.
"Try to stay in bed as much as possible these few days, don't move around too much, and keep a happy mood. Take one oral medication and apply one topical medication, and you should use them for at least a week."
She nodded repeatedly, taking the doctor's words to heart.
The ward door was pushed open, and Shen Sheng walked in carrying breakfast.
He finally relaxed completely after hearing the doctor say that his condition had stabilized.
Thankfully, Mr. Sheng didn't answer the phone last night.
Otherwise, the current situation would be like Mars colliding with Earth, blowing the Earth's core apart.
"Brother Sheng, thank you." Lin Xiaoli looked at him and said softly.
"I'm glad you're alright." Shen Sheng set up the small table on the hospital bed for her and opened the breakfast. "Are you really sure? You want to have this child?"
“I won’t give up on him.” Lin Xiaoli lowered her eyes and gently placed her hand on her still flat stomach. “As for whether he can come into this world safely, that depends on his own fate.”
Shen Sheng sighed, handed her the chopsticks, and comforted her, "Don't worry, you and the baby will be safe and sound."
"He has his own good fortune."
That's President Sheng's child; he'll definitely be safe and sound.
Lin Xiaoli nodded. "Brother Sheng, thank you for your hard work. Could you please help me with the discharge procedures?"
"Why don't you stay a few more days? I'll help you ask the company for leave," Shen Sheng advised, frowning.
"The doctor said I can be discharged and just need to rest at home." Lin Xiaoli's attitude was very firm. "Today is the company's anniversary celebration, and everyone has tasks to complete. I can't let them down."
She didn't want to stand out too much, and didn't want anyone to notice anything amiss.
"Then you should have breakfast first. I'll take care of the formalities in a bit and then take you home."
"Um."
In the end, Lin Xiaoli was still an hour late returning to the public relations department.
She had a heavy reception schedule today, as all the guests were distinguished people from out of town.
I had just stopped to rest for a bit when a call came in from an unfamiliar number.
She answered the phone, and on the other end was a familiar voice, cold as ice—Qin Shu.
"Miss Lin, come out for a coffee. I'm at Fei Cafe on Er Ma Road."
"I'm sorry, I'm at work and I don't have time." Lin Xiaoli refused without even thinking.
The woman on the other end of the phone laughed.
"If you don't come, I'll tell the whole world what you did last night. You don't want to expose a huge scandal on the 30th anniversary of the Sheng Group, do you?"
Her threat sent a jolt through Lin Xiaoli's heart.
She gripped her phone tightly and remained silent for a few seconds.
"I'm coming now."
Ten minutes later, Lin Xiaoli arrived at the coffee shop where Qin Shu was.
Qin Shu, dressed in an elegant Chanel suit and wearing a pair of huge sunglasses, was gracefully stirring the coffee in front of her.
She looked up and saw Lin Xiaoli, and was so startled that she paused for a moment. Then she stood up abruptly and took off her sunglasses.
It was her!
"No wonder President Sheng protected you so much that night." Qin Shu's gaze swept over her, his contempt undisguised.
She spoke coldly.
"You think you can compete with me? You're overestimating yourself. Although you're somewhat good-looking." Qin Shu reached out to pinch Lin Xiaoli's chin, but she turned her head away.
"But you have a gambling father and a mother who has been bedridden for years. Do you dare to step into the Sheng family? Are you worthy of the president of the Sheng Group, whose net worth is in the hundreds of billions?"
Every character in the Qin Dynasty book is as sharp as a knife.
Lin Xiaoli looked at her coldly, "Miss Qin, there's no need to worry unnecessarily. I have no intention of marrying into the Sheng family, nor will I pester President Sheng."
Qin Shu smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
"Smack!"
A loud slap landed hard on Lin Xiaoli's face.
"Then why did you get into his car last night?"
"Do you think he'll be devoted to you?" Qin Shu's eyes blazed with anger. "Before he married me, I allowed him to play around."
"But if you have any other ideas, I will make you die a very ugly death."
Lin Xiaoli stubbornly said, "Miss Qin is so resourceful, she should be able to find out that nothing happened between me and President Sheng last night."
Qin Shu smiled; she did indeed know that Young Master Sheng had spent the night alone in the villa.
Otherwise, we would have learned more than just this small lesson today.
"Smack."
She slapped him again with her other hand, and Lin Xiaoli's head was knocked to the side.
Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, carrying a metallic taste.
Her face stung, but she didn't retaliate.
Just bear with it!
We have to endure it!
"You dare to talk back? From now on, stay away from Young Master Sheng, and you'd better avoid me when you see me."
"Otherwise, I'll let your sickly mother know how her daughter seduced her boss."
Qin Shu gave a stern warning.
Seeing her submissive attitude, he was still not satisfied, so he picked up a glass of iced lemonade from the table and poured it directly over her head.
The cold liquid flowed down her hair, soaking her collar.
Lin Xiaoli closed his eyes tightly, took a deep breath, and his chest heaved violently.
I could no longer tolerate it.
There's no need to endure it any longer.
Lin Xiaoli suddenly opened his eyes and pounced on her like a madman, slamming her hard onto the wooden floor beneath him.
She raised her hand and slapped her back with all her might.
"Smack!"
The crisp sound silenced the entire café.
Qin Shu was stunned by the blow, and screamed while covering her face, "You dare to fight back?"
"stop."
Suddenly, a deep and familiar male voice rang out from above.
Lin Xiaoli froze and looked up.
Sheng Tingxiao stood in front of her. The man was tall and straight, wearing a well-tailored bespoke suit, exuding a powerful aura.
Mu Jin stood beside him, and Shen Sheng, who looked panicked, stood behind him.
Sheng Tingxiao's gaze fell on her swollen cheeks and the bloodstains at the corner of her mouth, and his eyes instantly turned icy...
