Chapter 121 Ruthless Action
His voice was hoarse, and he could see the veins on his arm throbbing. He looked up and said, "Come here, Tongtong."
Xia Yutong shrank back, but the man still pushed her onto the table behind her. The roses in the vase swayed slightly, and she nervously pounded on the table.
He pressed his forehead against hers. "As your husband, I will never hurt you. I'm going to take a cold shower. You should eat something."
A breeze blew in, and he brushed her hair behind her ear. "Su Yuanzheng would never hurt you."
"Don't take cold showers anymore."
"Um?"
"I'll help you."
"no."
Behind her were pink and white roses, and her face was also pink and white. She was somewhat embarrassed after being rejected by him.
"Tongtong's hands are not for that kind of thing."
Xia Yutong's face turned even redder, her cheeks looking like two strawberry tips.
"Then you can handle it yourself."
Su Yuanzheng went into the bathroom, and a little while later Luo Caixia came up and called Xia Yutong to come downstairs for dinner.
She lives a very casual life now, sleeping as late as she wants, and no one will wake her up unless she wakes up on her own.
I'll eat as soon as I wake up, and then go to the cabin to cook.
The workload is heavy, but she knows how to manage her time effectively.
——
Butcher Chen was hospitalized. Village Chief Wei called Chen Xinya several times, asking her to come back to the county town to visit him, but he couldn't get through to her.
Finally, with no other choice, Village Chief Wei personally went to her door. Although she met him, Chen Xinya was not very welcoming of Village Chief Wei's arrival.
Her attitude and tone were very cold, as if she had some deep-seated hatred for him.
Village Chief Wei himself sensed her indifference.
"Anyway, I've delivered the message. Your father is sick and hospitalized in the county town. This time, his illness is quite serious."
"He was probably just angry and upset. There's a doctor here, so there's no need for me to go back alone."
She was drinking a bowl of bird's nest soup. Village Chief Wei didn't have much money, but he had seen this stuff before.
He nodded and had no choice but to leave. "You child, take good care of yourself. I won't bother you anymore. Take good care of your own life."
"Don't worry, village chief, I will definitely handle it well. I won't let the villagers laugh at me, and I won't bring shame to the village."
"Okay, that's good. No need to see me off."
Chen Xinya got up to get a spoon, not intending to see him off, and then Village Chief Wei left.
The door closed, and a moment later there was another knock.
"What do you take this for?"
Chen Xinya's current thought is simple: before the baby is born, no one should disturb her peace.
The nanny opened the door, only to see a gust of wind blow by. The next second, the bird's nest in Chen Xinya's hand overturned and hit her directly in the face.
She suddenly stood up and saw Zhou Jin standing in front of her, gritting his teeth.
"They ate very well, even better than I did."
When Chen Xinya saw Zhou Jin, she immediately wilted. The next second, Zhou Jin grabbed her by the neck and said, "With this, you still want to seduce my brother? Have you no shame? Don't you even know what you look like?"
"Miss……"
The nanny tried to pull her away, but Zhou Jin rolled her eyes at her, saying, "If you dare touch me, I'll make sure you can't stay in the Zhou family anymore. I mean what I say."
“Zhou Jin, here you go again. I’m your future sister-in-law. The baby in my belly is your nephew, the eldest son of the Zhou family. He will inherit the Zhou family’s business in the future. When you get married and come back, your dignity will depend on me and your nephew.”
"Bullshit, utter bullshit! That child you gave birth to is an illegitimate child!"
"That belongs to your brother too, and we're not even sure if it is. Get out of here, get out!"
"I'm not leaving, Zhou Jin. If you call me 'sister-in-law' now, I might let you off the hook. But if you don't know what's good for you... Ah!"
Zhou Jin grabbed Chen Xinya's hair, "Hua Xin is my sister-in-law, how dare you? You're just a dog, an ugly dog!"
Just then, Ah Huan appeared at the door and pulled the two apart.
Zhou Jin held onto Chen Xinya's hair tightly and wouldn't let go. Ah Huan helped out and pulled Zhou Jin's hair away forcefully.
"Ah! How dare you! You dog!"
"You bastard, take your hand off me."
Zhou Jin was forced to let go, but Ah Huan still wouldn't let go. "Excuse me, Miss, get in the car with me and let's leave here."
Chen Xinya felt a sense of relief, like she had escaped a disaster. "Ah Huan, slap her!"
She clearly regarded Ah Huan as an accomplice. Ah Huan just rolled his eyes at Chen Xinya, and then looked at Zhou Jin, saying, "You two better behave yourselves."
Zhou Jin gripped Ah Huan's hand, leaving several marks, but Ah Huan remained unmoved.
Yun Jiang was startled as she stood at the door. "Ah Huan, are you alright?"
"Yun Jiang, I'm in this state and you're still worried about her? You're siding with outsiders..."
Ah Huan grabbed Zhou Jin by the hair, led her to the underground parking lot, and shoved her into the car. Zhou Jin saw Bai Lamei and immediately became obedient.
"Mom, he...he bullied me."
Bai Lamei frowned. "Do you know that your brother's marriage to Hua Xin is at a critical moment? If you run here like this and get targeted, what will happen if the Hua family finds out that our Zhou family has an illegitimate child?"
"We'll find out sooner or later."
“If we’re married and bound together, it’s easy to talk. But since we’re not married yet, the Hua family has the opportunity to back out.”
“She has already given us permission to build on that land; it’s already been secured.”
"If she takes it back now, our Zhou family will face an exorbitant penalty for breach of contract, understand?"
Zhou Jin gasped. "Is this the only way?"
"So you want to kill someone?"
Zhou Jin gritted her teeth, "She messed with me that time, I want her dead!"
"Calm down. Don't do anything rash before your brother's wedding."
Zhou Jin's outburst startled Chen Xinya. When Ahuan returned and spoke to her, she looked at him with gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Ahuan. But what has Hengzhi been so busy with lately? Why hasn't he come to see me?"
Ah Huan smiled and said, "Ms. Chen, do you think you and President Zhou have a good relationship?"
No, that's not it.
"Take good care of yourself during your pregnancy, Ms. Chen. As Mr. Zhou said, don't cause him any trouble."
After Ah Huan left, Chen Xinya thought to herself, "If I had known, I wouldn't have refused Village Chief Wei. What's wrong with going back to Nanbian Village to rest and prepare for childbirth? At least it would be safer."
Otherwise, it would be too risky to have a baby here. If Hua Hin were a smart woman, she might just have someone beat her up and cause her to miscarry. These women who grew up in wealthy families are used to intrigue and backstabbing, and they are all ruthless.
The nanny was still tidying up the things on the table. Chen Xinya hadn't thought about running away these past few days and was quite comfortable staying here. As time went on, the nanny also lowered her guard.
Seeing that the nanny hadn't noticed her, Chen Xinya opened the door and ran outside.
The nanny paused for a moment, then rushed to the door, "Miss Chen, Miss Chen..."
Chen Xinya ran faster than a rabbit. It was safest for her to return to the village to rest and prepare for childbirth. Since the child in her belly was her bargaining chip for turning her life around, she had to protect it.
"Miss Chen..."
