Lan Qingqing's wild outburst ended with her feeling utterly exhausted. She had knocked He Shui Xian unconscious, leaving her bloodied and battered. Breathing heavily, Lan Qingqing looked at the silent figure on the small bed and felt a flicker of fear. Tentatively, she reached out to check He Shui Xian's breath; thankfully, she was still alive, just knocked out.
Suddenly, Lan Qingqing's fear dissipated. After all, this wasn’t the first time she had left He Shui Xian in such a state. In the bathroom, she washed away the bloodstains and filled a basin with water. She carefully cleaned the wounds on He Shui Xian's head and then dealt with the mess that had occurred.
Confirming that He Shui Xian was still breathing, she finally felt relieved. Closing the door behind her, she carried the basin to the bathroom and poured out the dirty water. She repeatedly applied hand soap, scrubbing her hands and arms vigorously.
As she rubbed her skin, the foam clung to her arms. She scrubbed harder and harder until her emotions spiraled out of control; her eyes reddened, and tears streamed down her face. This wasn’t the life she wanted. Despite being pregnant, she should have had more say in her life, yet here she was, feeling like a puppet on strings. Not only did Ke Wenjie disregard her, but Zhang Huizhi also treated her like dirt, and now even He Shui Xian wouldn’t leave her in peace.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Lan Qingqing noticed that since learning about her pregnancy, her skin had visibly deteriorated. In contrast to Tong Le, who was also pregnant but radiated beauty, Lan Qingqing felt a deep sense of unfairness.
After washing her hands and face, she moved to the living room sofa and opened her phone. She had completely lost her appetite for breakfast. Scrolling through WeChat Moments, she saw a series of nine photos posted by Tian Ling—pictures of stunning seaside views, lavish meals, and breathtaking hotel windows, along with selfies of Tian Ling and Tong Le.
This was the life she dreamed of! She wondered where Tian Ling and Tong Le were vacationing without her.
Lan Qingqing opened their group chat and sent a message: "Where did you two go? You didn’t take me! I’m so mad!"
Tian Ling replied: "Aren't you busy dating? Let your husband take you out! I just wanted to cheer Tong Le up since she's been feeling down."
Lan Qingqing: "Tong Le is feeling down?"
Tian Ling: "She’s fighting with Ke Wenjie over losing two million cash that belonged to his mother-in-law. If it were me in that situation, I’d divorce him too! That mother-in-law is outrageous!"
Lan Qingqing: "Divorce? Is it that serious?"
Lan Qingqing: "Tong Le, what are you doing? Are you awake yet?"
Tian Ling: "Tong Le is taking a flower petal bath at the hotel; it's complimentary! I’ll be doing one soon too!"
Lan Qingqing: "Wow, Tian Ling! You've really made it big if you can afford to take Tong Le to such an expensive hotel! I saw your posts about those lavish meals—how much did you spend?"
Tian Ling: "A friend treated us! Tong Le and I are just here for free food and lodging. But I guess for you it’s no big deal since your husband is loaded!"
As Lan Qingqing read through their conversation, her expression grew increasingly stiff and bitter. Jealousy surged within her; she wished she could storm downstairs right then and tear Zhang Huizhi's face apart before heading to the hospital to get rid of the unwanted child inside her.
She thought about how if Ke Wenjie couldn’t come up with that two million cash and if Tong Le truly divorced him… well then for Ke Wenjie, it would be like being liberated overnight!
Although Ke Wenjie still had some family assets, in Lan Qingqing's eyes, it was nothing at all. Suddenly, Lan Qingqing realized that if Ke Wenjie couldn't come up with that twenty million in cash to appease Tong Le, then she couldn't keep the child in her womb! She would never have a child for a poor man; she would rather bear a child for Hou Yi, that unpredictable lunatic, than for a man like Ke Wenjie, whose financial situation was so unstable!
