In a luxurious hillside villa in Hong Kong City.
The woman's face was sickly pale, even her lips were bloodless.
She just stood by the window, looking at the scenery outside with her eyes slightly open, sometimes frowning, sometimes clenching her teeth, with no spirit in her eyes, like a withered flower.
The maid next to him looked anxious and tried to persuade him.
"Madam, you should drink this bowl of Chinese medicine while it's still hot. Doctor He said that you are very weak now and you must take the medicine on time to recover, otherwise..."
The woman sneered.
"Oh, what if I recover?"
"Xiao Lian, I can no longer be a mother..."
As she spoke, the woman stroked her flat belly, and the tears that had dried up began to flow again, and her eyes became more sore and painful.
She sneered in her heart. It wasn't her first miscarriage. What was there to cry about?
Even if she cries to death, who will really care about her?
Her love for Huang Zhikun had long since disappeared.
From the beginning to the end, she was just Huang Xiangkun's tool, a tool that could be discarded at will if it had no use value.
She knew clearly at the beginning that Huang Zhikun didn't love her, but he wanted her just because she was that man's girlfriend. He just wanted to use her to annoy that man.
Unfortunately, that man didn't love her at all, so she was abandoned by Huang Zhikun as she was no longer useful to him.
It was her own greed and vanity. Even though she knew that Huang Zhikun already had a wife and children, she still fell into the love and favor woven by that man without hesitation.
She will never forget the devastating experience of the day she had the miscarriage.
His original wife hired someone to kick her in the stomach, causing a large pool of blood to flow from her lower body. No matter how she cried and begged for mercy, these people refused to let her go.
She lost her five-month-old baby.
When she tried to win Huang Zhikun's sympathy, the man didn't even glance at her and just locked her in this cold golden cage.
The corners of the woman's lips rose slightly, her smile was uglier than crying, as if she was laughing at her own arrogance and stupidity, for falling in love with two men who were unattainable and indifferent to her.

Under the guidance of the secretary, Lin Xuqiu walked into Zhou Cheng's office.
This office is very large and has a neo-Chinese style, giving people a sense of calm and grandeur.
Lin Xuqiu sat on the sofa.
The secretary made tea and said politely.
"Ms. Lin, Mr. Zhou is in a meeting. He asked me to take you to his office to wait for a while."
"Okay, go and do your thing first."
After the secretary left, Lin Xuqiu leaned casually on the sofa, picked up the Zhou Group's group handbook, and flipped through it boredly.
Originally, Zhou Cheng said he would come and pick her up to play to celebrate her discharge from the hospital.
Because of the last car accident, she was a little traumatized and didn't dare to ride in Zhou Cheng's car, plus Zhou Cheng was very busy recently.
So Lin Xuqiu said that she wanted to meet him at Zhou Group.
She finished flipping through the manual and walked around the office. She felt bored and thought to herself that she should not have come here earlier.
So she went back to the couch and scrolled through her phone.
As I was brushing my teeth, I felt sleepy and fell asleep without realizing it.
Zhou Cheng finally finished the meeting and rushed back to the office impatiently.
He thought to himself that it was usually Lin Xuqiu who made others wait, and this time he was so late, the woman must be angry, and he had already thought of how to coax her.
When he reached the office door, he stopped, straightened his clothes, and opened the door calmly.
When he walked into the office, he was surprised not to see the woman and felt confused.
Could it be that Xuqiu left because he got tired of waiting?
Thinking of this possibility, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
It was not until I approached the sofa that I saw the woman sleeping on her side.
There was heating in the office, so she wouldn't catch a cold even if she slept directly on the sofa, but Zhou Cheng still took a blanket and gently covered Lin Xuqiu with it.
He squatted down and looked quietly at the woman sleeping on the sofa.
The woman slept peacefully on the sofa with her hands under her head, her long, soft black hair draped over her body, highlighting her fair and delicate skin. Her beautiful eyes, slightly closed, were under her thick, curly eyelashes, and her pale pink, moist lips seemed to be inviting a kiss.
When she was asleep, she lost her usual charm and looked more like a well-behaved doll.
He reached out his hand as if possessed by a demon, and moved the hair that fell on the woman's face behind her ear. His fingertips accidentally touched the woman's fair and delicate face.
He quickly withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted, and the numbness still remained in his fingertips.
Zhou Cheng collected his thoughts, retracted his gaze, stood up and sat on the sofa next to him.
He knew that he had special feelings for Xu Qiu, and these feelings grew wildly after he learned that he and Xu Qiu had no blood relationship at all.
No wonder he didn't feel any kinship with Xu Qiu when he first met her.
At this time, Lin Xuqiu woke up slowly, sat up lazily, looked at Zhou Cheng, and his voice was still a little soft.
"Brother, you finally finished the meeting. I almost fell asleep waiting."
A hint of apology appeared in Zhou Cheng's eyes.
"Sorry, the meeting has been extended due to some matters."
"are you hungry?"
"If you're hungry, I'll have food brought to you."
Lin Xuqiu touched his stomach and seemed a little hungry, so he nodded.
"good."
Zhou Cheng asked his secretary Lynda to order the food and have it delivered.
Lin Xuqiu sat on the sofa, looked up at the man in front of her, and suddenly teased.
"Brother, clothes really make the man. You really have the aura of a domineering boss now. Before, you only had the aura of a factory director."
"Look, once he puts on those little gold-rimmed glasses, he looks like a scumbag."
