Li Ruo was taken aback for a moment, then nodded slightly: "I understand!"
At this moment, she behaved extremely well!
Wen Zhi, standing to the side, was somewhat incredulous. Even at this point, her brother was still speaking up for her!
"Brother, you..."
However, she was cut off by Wen Huaiyan as soon as she opened her mouth.
"Zhizhi, Lin Kangle is a scheming person and not someone you can entrust your life to. You should think it over carefully."
Wen Zhi's eyes widened in disbelief: "Brother, that's not the point, okay? The point is that Li Ruo, that woman, actually went to see another man behind your back, and you still defended her like that. She's the one who doesn't deserve your trust!"
"I believe her."
Just four words were enough to turn Wen Zhi's face pale, and she couldn't even speak.
Seeing her shocked expression, Li Ru snorted coldly, deliberately clutching her stomach and feigning a pitiful look: "Ouch, it hurts so much..."
Upon hearing the voice, Wen Huaiyan turned around and looked over, a hint of worry flashing across his usually stern face: "Are you alright?"
Li Ruo leaned lightly into his arms, her voice barely audible: "I suddenly feel a little dizzy and nauseous, and I want to rest quietly for a while."
Wen Huaiyan was still feeling unsatisfied, and now that he was holding Li Ruo in his arms, the heat in his heart was instantly ignited. He looked at her with a touch of tenderness: "Okay, you rest, I'll go get you a glass of water."
Just as he was about to get up, Li Ruo hugged him tightly: "I want you to stay with me."
Just a moment ago she was refusing, but now she's throwing herself into his arms.
Seeing this, Wen Huaiyan's expression softened, and her usual unapproachable demeanor eased slightly.
"good!"
This was the first time Wen Zhi had seen Wen Huaiyan so gentle. Although his expression didn't change, his every move was extremely patient.
Just as she was about to interrupt, she suddenly met Li Ruo's provocative gaze.
That bitch, she did it on purpose!
Realizing something, Wen Zhi gasped, "Brother..."
"It's getting late, and I still have things to do at the company. Zhizhi, you should go home first."
At this moment, Wen Huaiyan suddenly turned around, his tone returning to its coldness.
Damn it!
Meeting his deep black eyes, Wen Zhi clenched her fists tightly, but she knew that she had already fallen into a disadvantageous position, and now was not the time to try to harm Li Ruo.
Thinking of this, she immediately gave a sweet smile: "Then I'll go first, brother, you're busy."
She left a message and went straight back to her office, but she couldn't swallow her anger.
After thinking it over, she called Li Rao.
Li Rao was shopping when she received Wen Zhi's call, which surprised her.
"Hey, Zhizhi, why are you calling me all of a sudden? Is something wrong?"
Wen Zhi didn't like beating around the bush, so she simply got straight to the point and said, "You find a way to deal with Li Ruo, and you'll get plenty of benefits after it's done."
"Deal with Li Ruo?"
Li Rao looked around warily and whispered, "Zhizhi, why don't you ask someone else for help with this?"
In the past, she would have agreed without hesitation, but now that Li Ruo has something on her, wouldn't it be suicide to go to her door?
Wen Zhi had just been humiliated by Li Ruo, and now she was rejected by Li Rao. Her anger flared up immediately: "Li Rao, don't forget, we're already in the same boat. You'd better do as I say, or don't blame me for being ruthless."
Although Li Rao usually dared not offend Wen Zhi, she was not the type to be manipulated by others.
Hearing this, she was clearly unhappy: "Zhizhi, I agreed to cooperate with you before because we had the same enemy, but cooperation should be based on mutual consent. You can't force me to do something I don't want to do. Besides, Li Ruo is now wary of me, so I really can't help you with anything."
Seeing Li Rao's repeated refusals, Wen Zhi was too lazy to waste any more words with her. Her eyes darkened as she said, "Li Rao, I advise you to obediently listen to me and do as I say. Otherwise, don't blame me for spreading rumors about your little affair with Wen Changfeng. I don't think you want to be pregnant and being pointed at and gossiped about!"
Upon hearing the words "big belly," Li Rao, who had been unwilling to accept it, froze on the spot, her eyes wide with shock: "You! How did you know I was pregnant?"
It's worth noting that she's always been very good at keeping secrets, especially her pregnancy, which she hasn't told anyone yet.
Ke Wenzhi simply smiled faintly: "Don't ask questions you shouldn't know. You just need to remember to do your job well for me."
"I……"
Before Li Rao could say anything more, the call had already ended.
She stared blankly at the rapidly darkening phone screen, her heart growing increasingly panicked.
Although she wanted to use her pregnancy to officially be with Wen Changfeng, Old Master Wen valued rules the most, and if there were no preparations, the Wen family would definitely not acknowledge the child.
The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became. Unable to contain herself any longer, she immediately went home and found Sun Lan.
"Mom, what should I do?"
After learning the whole story, Sun Lan's face darkened. After thinking it over carefully, she suddenly had an idea: "That little bitch Li Ruo has grown too big for her britches and refuses to listen to us. If we force her, she might scheme against us. Why don't we... why don't we hand her over to your father?"
