Shang Xiaoqin's face was livid with anger. She had never known that Zi Lin, who had always been stern and unsmiling, could be so eloquent.
"Who said what's in my stomach is..." She suddenly stopped mid-sentence. She glanced at Zi Lin warily, and couldn't help but wonder if this woman was so abnormal and was deliberately trying to trick her. What if? She accidentally revealed that the child in her belly was Huo Qisheng's, and Zi Lin went to tell Huo Qisheng...
Shang Xiaoqin couldn't help but shudder, and she also hated Zi Lin in her heart. She didn't expect that this damn woman would dare to play tricks on her. She really underestimated her.
"Zi Lin, you are actually jealous of me." She smiled charmingly: "The fact that I can get close to Tang Jiahao and then gain the trust of Su Lengmo and Tang Yao is of great use to Mr. Huo. As for you, you have What about the position of Mrs. Huo? Huo Shaogang promised me that as long as the plan succeeds, the children I bear for him can compete for the Huo family's property. I can still use them to become the real mistress of the Huo family. Can you still give birth to me by then? Definitely, and it is still unknown whether Mr. Huo wants you to be born or not."
Zi Lin's expressionless face finally had a crack.
"Zi Lin, in the war between the two of us, it's not certain who will win in the future. Don't you think it's a joke that you show off your power to me so early?"
After saying that, Shang Xiaoqin knocked Zi Lin away and straightened her back like a victorious hen.
Zi Lin stared at her back, suddenly made a move, grabbed her wrist and threw her over her shoulder. Shang Xiaoqin was startled and said loudly: "Zi Lin, what is in my belly now is a way to avoid death by joining the Su Group." The gold medal, he has three advantages and two disadvantages, let me see how you explain it to Mr. Huo."
Zi Lin's movements stopped abruptly.
Shang Xiaoqin shook off her hand, raised her chin arrogantly, and said, "Zi Lin, you will always be my loser." After saying that, she turned and left.
Zi Lin clenched her fists and stared at Shang Xiaoqin's leaving back with complex eyes.
When she turned around, she paused in her steps and looked at Huo Qisheng, who appeared when he shouldn't have.
"Qisheng." Zi Lin took a deep breath and walked slowly in front of Huo Qisheng. Her voice was a little dull: "Have you seen it all?"
Huo Qisheng didn't say anything, he just raised his hand, slapped Zi Lin, and slapped her face to the side.
"What have I told you before?" Huo Qisheng's voice was as cold as ice.
Zi Lin covered her face, her face changed unpredictably, and finally became calm.
"I'm not willing to give in," she said.
Huo Qisheng snorted, raised his hand, and slapped Zi Lin again. A very distinct palm print appeared on Zi Lin's left face.
"If you have Shang Xiaoqin's courage and can commit yourself to another man, I can also be very kind to you, and even give you the tenderness you have always hoped for."
He stared at Zi Lin: "If you can't do it, just shut up and don't go against Shang Xiaoqin. Otherwise, if I find out, it won't be about these two slaps. Do you understand?"
Zi Lin didn't speak, she just lowered her head like a dull gourd.
A trace of disgust flashed in Huo Qisheng's eyes. He grabbed Zi Lin's chin and said with a sinister expression: "Zi Lin, your mute look really disgusts me."
After saying that, he threw her against the wall. The elevator not far away just opened, and someone walked out of it. He was stunned for a moment when he saw Zi Lin like this.
"Go away! Why are you meddling in our husband and wife's affairs?" Huo Qisheng said angrily.
Taking advantage of Huo Qisheng's unruffled spirit, the man quickly walked away.
Zi Lin stood up from the wall, walked to Huo Qisheng, lowered her head and said, "Qisheng, I was wrong."
Huo Qisheng took a deep look at Zi Lin and walked straight into the elevator.
Zi Lin sighed and followed into the elevator.
Back in the suite, Huo Qisheng pointed to the door of the bedroom: "Go there and kneel."
"Yes." Zi Lin walked directly to the door, bent her knees and knelt in front of her.
Huo Qisheng went to the study room and closed the door, blocking the two of them from outside and inside the room.
…
Shang Xiaoqin returned to the suite, but just when she opened the bedroom door, she saw Tang Jiahao leaning on the bed with his eyes open, and she almost flew out of fear.
"Jia... Jiahao." She stammered.
The kind of drug she had given could make her sleep until the next day as long as she took it. Logically speaking, it was impossible for Tang Jiahao to wake up at this time.
Tang Jiahao reluctantly waved to Shang Xiaoqin and said vaguely: "Come here."
Shang Xiaoqin walked over like a snail, thinking of excuses to explain her absence to Tang Jiahao.
"Jiahao, I'm going to..."
"Xiaoqin, I'm a little sleepy. I'll be relieved when you come back. We'll talk the next day after I get some sleep."
After saying that, Tang Jiahao fell asleep.
Shang Xiaoqin stared at Tang Jiahao's sleeping face, her expression becoming very complicated.
She guessed that Tang Jiahao's awakening may be due to his awareness of her absence. Maybe in his heart, her position is more important than she thought.
Shang Xiaoqin stayed up all night.
When Tang Jiahao woke up the next day, his head hurt as much as after a hangover.
"Well..." He raised his hand and patted his head, which was suffering from a splitting headache, and couldn't help but murmured.
"Headache?" Shang Xiaoqin put a cold towel on Tang Jiahao's forehead and asked worriedly.
Tang Jiahao grabbed Shang Xiaoqin's hand and looked directly into her eyes without saying a word.
Shang Xiaoqin's heart trembled, and she opened her mouth, planning to tell her the excuse she had knitted yesterday, but Tang Jiahao beat her to it and said, "Xiaoqin, if you go out too late in the future, you must call me, otherwise you are a girl and you have a long It’s beautiful, but it can be dangerous.”
"I'm sorry." Shang Xiaoqin lowered his head: "I didn't mean it. Yesterday, a good friend from college suddenly asked me to borrow money. I didn't have that much money in WeChat, and she borrowed a lot, so I had to go see her. See Can you borrow it from other friends first?"
"Why didn't you wake me up?"
"You slept so soundly. I was afraid of disturbing you, so I went alone."
Shang Xiaoqin raised two fingers: "I promise, I didn't go out for too long. She lives on the west coast, and it takes two hours to get back and forth. After I learned more about the situation, I accompanied her to call the police, and I came back after the trouble." Yes, if you don’t believe it, I can call her."
After saying that, she quickly took out her mobile phone and pretended to call her so-called good friend from college, but was stopped by Tang Jiahao. "Xiaoqin, it's not that I don't believe you. I'm just worried about the dangers you may encounter if you go out too late."
As he spoke, he sighed lowly: "You must tell me where you are going in the future."
"I know." Shang Xiaoqin nodded: "I made preserved egg and lean meat porridge, do you want to drink it now?"
"Well, I'm going to brush my teeth. You go outside and get ready first."
"good."
Shang Xiaoqin left, and Tang Jiahao stared at her back with complicated eyes. After a long time, he looked back and lowered his head to cover the emotions flashing in his eyes.
After finishing breakfast, Tang Jiahao put down his small spoon and wiped the corners of his mouth with a clean napkin.
"Xiaoqin, I'm going to Shanghai for a meeting at ten o'clock. It may take two days to come back. Are you afraid of being alone? If you are, I'll ask my sister to send some bodyguards over."
"I'm not a three-year-old child. I need someone to accompany me at home."
Shang Xiaoqin also wiped her mouth and frowned at Tang Jiahao: "It's just Jiahao, why haven't I mentioned it to you before? Was it because I went out without your permission yesterday and you were angry? I promise it's really that friend. I said it was too serious and I didn't do anything bad, so you have to believe me."
After saying that, she was about to cry.
"Silly woman, did I tell you that I don't believe you? The meeting in Shanghai was decided last night. I originally planned to tell you, but ended up being too sleepy and went to bed. I only remembered to tell you today."
Tang Jiahao couldn't laugh or cry: "You are pregnant now, don't cry all the time, it is not good for the child."
Shang Xiaoqin nodded.
"I'll go pack your clothes."
"Thank Wife."
Shang Xiaoqin gave him an irritated look and stood up to pack her clothes.
He took his suitcase and drove to the airport. After waiting there for nearly half an hour, Tang Jiahao kissed Shang Xiaoqin on the lips and said, "Go back, I'll call you when I get to Shanghai."
"Yes." Shang Xiaoqin reluctantly watched Tang Jiahao pass the security check until no one could be seen. Her face suddenly sank. She had an intuition that maybe Tang Jiahao's trip to Shanghai this time was just a cover.
She stayed there for a long time before calling Huo Kaisheng and discussing with him how to handle the matter.
"You trash, you can't handle such a trivial matter well." Huo Qisheng was furious on the phone: "Go back and stay well with me. I will handle this matter. You'd better pray that Tang Jiahao doesn't do it." It told Su Lengmo that if my plan is exposed, I will kill you."
"Yes." Shang Xiaoqin said solemnly.
After hanging up the phone, her heart became extremely heavy. She could only pray that she was overthinking everything now.
Tang Jiahao, who originally said he was going to Shanghai, walked out from somewhere else after Shang Xiaoqin left the airport.
He stared at the entrance of the airport for a long time before going in the other direction and sitting behind a pillar.
"Sister, please help me check where Xiaoqin went last night." Tang Jiahao called Tang Yao directly and said straight to the point.
Not sure what was said over there, he continued: "No, I was asleep last night and she got a call from a friend. She went out alone for fear of waking me up. According to her, her friend met someone. When it came to fraud, she was defrauded of a sum of money. She accompanied someone to report it to the police, and also borrowed money from other friends. I'm afraid that her friend is also a member of the fraud gang, so I want you to check after she went out last night. What have you done."
After pausing for a few seconds, he said: "Okay, sister, I'm sorry to trouble you."
After hanging up the phone, Tang Jiahao had a bad expression. He didn't mean to doubt Shang Xiaoqin, but Tang Yao's current identity was different from what it used to be. There were too many people trying to get close to her and Su Lengmo through various identities. He He had to be on guard, fearing that Tang Yao would be harmed accidentally.
