Chapter 360 Two Lives, I'm Not at a Loss
No sooner had Sheng Tingxiao left than Sheng Weiwei swiftly stepped onto the stage, said a few polite words into the microphone, and quickly ended the explosive press conference.
Before the flashbulbs from the audience could even go out, Bai Yu walked through the crowd.
He lowered his voice, his tone tinged with urgency.
"Qingning is awake. We need to go to Country S immediately."
"Really?" Sheng Weiwei's eyes lit up instantly. She grabbed his arm and was about to leave, but she stopped abruptly after taking a step. "No, what about Xiaoli? She's been caught."
Bai Yu, however, remained calm and patted the back of her hand.
"Don't worry, big brother won't let anything happen to her."
"If he can't even handle Qin Shu, then he's wasted the last few years. He'll save his wife himself."
Sheng Weiwei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, let's go."
What a wonderful day! Double happiness is upon us!
Not long after, the two videos that Shengshi presented at the press conference were uploaded online in their entirety.
Public opinion shifted instantly.
Lin Xiaoli's name once again soared to the top of the trending topics list.
#Lin Xiaoli, the Kind Angel#
#Lin Xiaoli, the future wife of the Shengshi Group CEO#
This plot twist completely stunned netizens.
Who would have thought that Lin Xiaoli was carrying Sheng Tingxiao's child!
That's the future heir of the Sheng family!
Holy crap! What an incredible plot twist! This is unbelievable!
[President Sheng is awesome! For true love, he directly gave up the marriage alliance between all the socialites in Haicheng and the Si family. What a man!]
[This is true love! I declare President Sheng to be my Best Actor of the Year!]
[Cinderella and the CEO: Tomorrow I'm going to start pursuing my single, abstinent boss.]
There wasn't a single vulgar word in the comments section anymore; it was all filled with well wishes and jokes.
On the other side, three top-of-the-line black luxury cars were engaged in a high-speed chase on the highway.
Inside the car, Sheng Tingxiao's face was so gloomy it could drip water.
He stared intently at his phone screen, afraid of missing any calls, and even more afraid that something might happen to her and the child.
"Drive faster," he urged in a cold voice.
"Yes, young master." Upon hearing this, the driver floored the accelerator.
Shen Sheng called at that moment.
"President Sheng, I've brought everyone and I'm on my way to you."
"good."
Sheng Tingxiao hung up the phone, his knuckles turning white from the force, almost crushing the phone's casing.
The burning fire in my heart grew stronger and stronger.
His mind was filled with Lin Xiaoli's face.
He remembered that day; she had a high fever and was delirious, but she kept muttering incoherently.
No, don't touch... my child.
Don't hurt him.
Later, they had a huge argument about the surgery.
She looked at him stubbornly, her eyes filled with tears.
[President Sheng, if I said this child isn't Zhou Yu's, would you believe me?]
Yes, I just couldn't bear to part with this child, so I opted out of the surgery.
At that time, he was blinded by jealousy.
He grabbed her shoulders and questioned her furiously.
Lin Xiaoli, do you love the child, or the child's father?
With tears streaming down her face, she shouted back at him with all her might.
I love them all!
I love them all!
So that's what it meant.
It turns out that the person she had always loved was him and their child.
Sheng Tingxiao felt a sudden sense of relief, and an indescribable feeling of joy welled up inside him.
Thankfully, thankfully, at today's press conference, he chose her instead of that Miss Si from the Si family.
He looked up at the constantly moving cursor on the navigation screen, and his tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed a little.
We'll be there soon.
Xiao Li, wait for me.
On the other side, on an unfinished building in the suburbs, Lin Xiaoli was tied to a rough cement pillar.
Four bodyguards stood guard on either side, their faces expressionless.
She was soaked to the bone, with water dripping from her hair, and several clear red and swollen handprints on her face.
"Bang."
A cell phone was smashed to the ground, and the screen shattered instantly.
Qin Shu rushed forward and forcefully grabbed Lin Xiaoli's hair, forcing her head to tilt upwards in pain.
"Wow, Lin Xiaoli, Sheng Tingxiao actually confessed his feelings to you at the press conference. He actually said that you are the president's wife of the Sheng Group."
"Hahaha, who do you think you are? You don't deserve it."
"Are you worthy of the Sheng family's status? Are you worthy of that billion-dollar phoenix crown?"
Qin Shu laughed wildly, her eyes bloodshot, and the swelling on her face still making her look somewhat distorted.
She would remember this grudge until her death.
It must have been Sheng Tingxiao who did it! Just for those two slaps in the coffee shop, he actually had someone take nude photos of her, ruining her reputation and causing the Qin family to go bankrupt!
He's ruthless!
Today, she finally got her chance at Jinling Bay. Around 8 a.m., she saw Lin Xiaoli walk out alone with a suitcase.
The opportunity has arrived.
Her men immediately tied the woman up and brought her over.
She was desperate; this was her last trump card.
While tormenting Lin Xiaoli, she watched the Sheng family's press conference live on her phone, wanting to break Lin Xiaoli's heart and make her watch Sheng Tingxiao announce the good news of his marriage to the Si family.
Who would have thought that Sheng Tingxiao, that madman, would release two videos to expose her crimes to the world in order to protect this woman's innocence?
He even announced in front of all the media that Lin Xiaoli would be the future president's wife of Sheng's Group.
Lin Xiaoli watched the scene on the live stream in disbelief, and tears immediately streamed down her face.
So, he meant what he said last night: he wouldn't leave her.
It's true!
She was never his discarded child.
Qin Shu immediately smashed his phone, rushed over and slapped Lin Xiaoli's face seven or eight times. He also had someone bring a bucket of ice water and poured it directly over her head.
"Lin Xiaoli, tell me, how exactly did you seduce Sheng Tingxiao?"
Qin Shu gripped her chin tightly, his eyes burning with hatred.
"Qin Shu... let me go, I can... plead for you." Lin Xiaoli gasped for breath, trying to squeeze out a few words from her throat.
She was so cold that her whole body was shivering, and even her teeth were chattering.
Upon hearing this, Qin Shu burst into wild laughter as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"I never expected that you were carrying Sheng Tingxiao's child. I really underestimated you."
"Want to leave? Not so easy. Even if I die today, I'll take you with me. Two lives lost, I won't lose out."
After Qin Shu finished speaking, a cold hand gently slid across her flat stomach, and the chilling contact sent shivers down Lin Xiaoli's spine.
A very bad feeling welled up inside me.
"Let me go!"
Lin Xiaoli shouted anxiously.
Qin Shu didn't say anything, but simply stretched out his hand to the side, and a bodyguard immediately handed him a heavy iron bar.
"Qin Shu, what do you want to do?" Lin Xiaoli's eyes widened in fright, her pupils filled with terror.
"Of course I'd send your child to hell. How could I possibly let you rely on your child for status and keep dreaming!"
After saying that, Qin Shu raised the iron bar high and was about to smash it down on her lower abdomen.
"don't want!"
Lin Xiaoli screamed in terror.
The next second, there was a loud "bang".
The iron rod in Qin Shu's hand was flung aside by a tremendous force, and her elbow, which was holding the rod, was in excruciating pain, while her hand between her thumb and forefinger was numb.
Before she could react, a familiar yet dangerous voice rang out from the stairwell.
"You dare touch my child?"
Sheng Tingxiao strode up the stairs with his long legs, each step exuding an imposing aura.
Qin Shu's pupils suddenly contracted in fright. Wasn't he just at the press conference?
How could we have gotten here so quickly?
Lin Xiaoli watched the man walk over calmly, and her heart, which had been in her throat, finally settled down.
"Get him! Get him now!" Qin Shu saw that he had come alone, so he immediately pointed at him and screamed at the four bodyguards behind him.
Sheng Tingxiao's eyes didn't change for a second. His punches were fierce and his movements were swift and clean. In just a few moves, those rookie bodyguards were lying motionless on the ground.
Qin Shu was so frightened that he took two steps back. Suddenly, he pulled out a dagger from his waist and frantically held it to Lin Xiaoli's neck.
"Sheng... Tingxiao." Lin Xiaoli was burning up with fever and her consciousness was beginning to fade.
His figure before my eyes had become somewhat blurry.
"Sheng Tingxiao, don't come any closer... don't come any closer, if you take another step forward, I'll... I'll kill her."
Qin Shu was so frightened that he became incoherent, and his hand holding the dagger trembled uncontrollably.
Sheng Tingxiao stared at her, his eyes so cold they could drip ice shards, and he uttered a warning, word by word.
"Don't let your hand shake. If she sees even a drop of blood, I'll wipe out your Qin family."
"Sheng Tingxiao, why did you choose her? What makes her better than me?"
Qin Shu cried, shouting uncontrollably, her voice filled with resentment.
"You are not worthy to know the answer." Sheng Tingxiao once again pierced her heart.
Just then, Shen Sheng came up with two bodyguards, who were also escorting two people, Qin Shu's parents.
When Qin's father saw his daughter holding a dagger and pointing it at the future president's wife of the Sheng Group, he was so angry that he almost fainted on the spot.
He roared, "You wretch, stop now! Put down the knife and kneel down to apologize to Young Master Sheng!"
Qin's mother was also terrified. "Shushu, don't make another mistake. Be good, put down the knife and come to your mother's side."
"Mom, we can't go back. The Qin family has gone bankrupt." Qin Shu's tears flowed uncontrollably.
“Daughter, listen to your mother. As long as you are willing to turn back, there is always a chance to change your ways. I will personally plead with the Sheng family.” Mother Qin earnestly persuaded her.
"No, I don't want to go to jail!"
Qin Shu completely broke down and gripped the dagger, ready to stab Lin Xiaoli in the neck.
In the blink of an eye, Sheng Tingxiao flicked his finger, and a coin flew accurately, hitting her wrist.
With a clang, the dagger in her hand fell to the ground.
Sheng Tingxiao moved with lightning speed, instantly rushing in front of her, grabbing her right arm with one hand and twisting it forcefully.
"ah!"
Qin Shu let out a scream of pain as his right arm was dislocated.
The bodyguards immediately rushed forward and restrained her tightly.
Sheng Tingxiao didn't even glance at her again, and quickly walked to Lin Xiaoli's side, carefully untying the ropes binding her.
"Xiao Li, how are you? Don't be afraid, you're alright now."
He quickly took off his suit jacket, wrapped it tightly around her cold body, and picked her up in his arms.
Lin Xiaoli nestled weakly in his arms, her whole body burning hot like a small furnace.
She felt blood gushing from her lower body, and with her last bit of strength, she gripped his clothes.
"Save...the child."
"Protect him..."
After saying those two words, she completely fainted.
"Xiao Li!"
Sheng Tingxiao shouted, and when his eyes met the red glimpse of her dress, his heart nearly jumped out of his chest.
He ran frantically downstairs...
This is his whole world.
