Chapter 32: The Sly Old Fox Lives Up to His Name
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the luxury apartment.
After Song Zhizhi left, Yin Qin lit a cigarette and joked, “Can’t even smoke when she’s here. Our Young Master Ji sure does love his wife.”
Ji Baijian ignored Yin Qin and lit a cigarette for himself too.
Yin Qin puffed. Looking at the smoke lingering in front of him, he laughed and said, “You sure live up to your name as the sly old fox.”
Ji Baijian stared at Yin Qin.
Yin Qin added, “That was easy. Knowing you, I knew you wouldn’t keep Song
Zhizhi, whose backstory is unknown, by your side for no reason. So that’s why.”
“Don’t simply make assumptions about me,” Ji Baijian said indifferently with a smirk.
“Yeah, who knows what you’re actually thinking?” Yin Qin mummured.
He had never been able to figure out what was on Ji Baijian’s mind ever since they were kids.
They were about the same age, but Yin Qin always felt like Ji Baijian was a hundred times more cunning than him. Ji Baijian’s brain must be structured differently from other humans!
And yet, he liked following Ji Baijian around. It even made him feel proud.
It made him wonder if he was actually…an idiot!
Song Zhizhi left in her car.
She suddenly remembered that she told her grandma she was going to have lunch in Ji Baijian’s home. If she were to go back now, wouldn’t she get exposed?
Song Zhizhi leaned on the backrest, a little speechless at her own stupidity.
She took out her phone to look through her contacts, but could not find a
friend she could have lunch with. Even she herself looked down on how she had lived in this life.
She laughed at herself and planned to just find a random place to satisfy her hunger. The phone suddenly rang. She checked the caller ID before taking the call.
“Hello.” “Miss, it’s me, Liu Zizhong.”
“Uncle Liu?”
“Chief Song was just admitted to the hospital for high blood pressure. He won’t let me notify anyone else but you. Can you come over?”
“Okay. Is it the Jin City Hospital?”
“Yes, it is.”
“I’ll be right there.”
Song Zhizhi hung up the phone and had the driver drive her to the hospital.
Her father’s blood pressure had always been somewhat high. In her previous life, it was his high blood pressure that caused his cerebral hemorrhage, which made him fall into a vegetative state. Nie Wenzhi managed to persuade Song Zhizhi to end his life with Song Zhizhi’s own hands.
In her last life, she could never have dreamed that the tragedy had happened because Nie Wenzhi had been poisoning her father’s food! In this life, she would never let that come to pass!
She asked the driver to go a little faster. When she arrived, she quickly rushed into the hospital, heading for the VIP ward area.
The moment she walked into the lobby, she accidentally collided with someone coming from the other direction.
Song Zhizhi took two steps back to look at the woman in front of her. The woman’s face was pale and haggard.
The medical record she was holding fell down.
Song Zhizhi quickly helped her pick it up from the floor.
A frown crept onto the woman’s face for a short second.
“Sorry,” Song Zhizhi handed the record back to her. The woman took it, nodded slightly, and left.
Song Zhizhi stared at the woman’s back.
Xin Zaozao.
If Song Zhizhi was not mistaken, she saw “abortion” written on the medical record?
From what she remembered, Xin Zaozao was not married.
But there was no time to think about that now. Song Zhizhi went back to looking for her father’s ward.
Outside the hospital.
Xin Zaozao walked back to her car. Along the way, she casually threw the medical record from the hospital into a trash can.
Her face was very calm, even though what she had just experienced was unbelievably agonizing. She drove back to her family villa.
The villa was bustling with noise.
It had been a long time since her house was this lively.
She walked into the living room. Besides her own father, Xin He, her stepmother, Wang Tsuen, and her stepbrother, Mu Cidian, there were also several unfamiliar people there, showing them something. Noticing Xin Zaozao’s return, Wang Tsuen said enthusiastically, “Zaozao is back. Why don’t you come over and help your brother pick some engagement photos?” So it was engagement photos.
In a couple of days, Mu Cidian will be engaged to a girl from a rich family.
Xin Zaozao showed a faint smile and politely declined, “I’m not feeling very well. I think I’ll go and have a lie-down in my room.”
“Are you sick?” Xin He asked with concern.
“Dad, it’s nothing. I’ll be fine after taking a nap,” Xin Zaozao smiled and went upstairs.
She went straight to her room and lay down on her large bed.
Her body was weak, her face was pale, and she just wanted to lie down quietly for a while.
The sound of a key unlocking the door was heard.
Xin Zhaoyao sneered mockingly. No matter how she locked the door, he was always able to open it.
She did not turn her head. She could feel someone standing next to the bed, looking down at her from above.
Xin Zaozao was unmoved.
“Where did you go?” the man asked.
Xin Zaozao did not answer.
“Not feeling well?” The man’s voice was slightly raised, and he deliberately lengthened his words, “Or just horny?”
Xin Zaoyao smiled coldly.
At that moment, she felt a pair of large hands reaching inside her blanket.
She rarely resisted. Sometimes, she was even just enduring.
But this time, she turned to look at the man in front of her, Mu Cidian, and said coldly, “If you still have an ounce of conscience left, you wouldn’t touch me.”
Mu Cidian frowned.
“I just had an abortion,” Xin Zaozao told him bluntly.
This was probably the first time Xin Zaozao had ever seen a hint of panic under Mu Cidian’s fierce eyes.
So he would feel uneasy too?
Yet the next moment, he asked, “Whose child was it?”
Xin Zaozao was not even in the mood to ridicule him. She said, “You can think whatever you want.”
“Xin Zaozao!” Mu Cidian grabbed Xin Zaozao and lifted her up from the bed.
His bloodshot eyes at that moment looking horrifying.
Xin Zaozao was simply too weak to put up any resistance. She just stared at Mu Cidian wordlessly. She was actually really curious to see how cruel this man could get.
“Don’t you dare be presumptuous!” Mu Cidian said fiercely.
It was back during her childhood.
When she was little, she presumptuously thought that her Brother Mu was the best big brother in the world, so she would do whatever he said, give him whatever he wanted…
Not getting a response from Xin Zaozao, Mu Cidian dropped her down and walked away in large strides. The door closed with a violent bang. He was probably really angry.
What was he angry about? He should be happy that she did not cause him trouble..
