The car stopped at the side of the road. Chen Mingyu threw the cash she had just taken out at the passenger seat. She immediately stepped into the station in her high heels. Li Zhenyuan was already handcuffed and sitting in the interrogation room while the police were taking notes. It took a lot of effort for Chen Mingyu to meet Li Zhenyuan as a friend. The moment Li Zhenyuan saw Chen Mingyu, he cursed, “It’s all your f*cking fault! What bad idea did you come up with! I…”

“Enough!” Chen Mingyu glared at him and said coldly, “What’s the use of cursing now? Who would have thought that Xu Anran was still related to Zhao Jing?”

“Then you have to think of a way!”

“Your situation will only result in a few years of imprisonment at most. If you don’t expose me, I’ll help you find a lawyer and let you suffer less. However, if you dare to expose me, your whole family won’t be able to live a good life. Which is more important? You decide for yourself!”

“Are you threatening me?” Li Zhenyuan widened his eyes.

Chen Mingyu laughed coldly and did not refute. “Yes, I am threatening you. Do you want us both to go in or you yourself? Anyway, if I go in, you won’t have a good ending.”

Li Zhenyuan was so angry that he cursed a few more profanities, “You f*cking gave me a stupid idea, and in the end, you made me bear all the responsibility! F*cking b*tch…”

“Choose for yourself!” Chen Mingyu interrupted him coldly.

…

In the hospital. The air was filled with the thick smell of disinfectant. It was extremely quiet. Xu Anran lay on the hospital bed, and her face had regained some color. Jiang Rongyan sat on a chair at the side and looked out of the window. His thoughts drifted to an unknown place.

“Cough…” After an unknown amount of time, the person on the bed suddenly coughed a few times and then opened her eyes.

When Jiang Rongyan heard this, he turned his head to look at her with a cold expression. “Do you know that you’re already married?” Xu Anran turned her head as if she was still holding her breath and did not speak. When Jiang Rongyan saw her stubborn look, he became angry. If he had not arrived in time today, who knew what would have happened?

“You’re my wife now. You didn’t stay at home in the middle of the night and went out to the bar to get drunk? You have such a good-looking face. Where’s your brain?” There was no lack of anger in Jiang Rongyan’s tone. Xu Anran remained silent. She curled herself into a ball and hid under the blanket.

“This time it’s Li Zhenyuan. Next time it’ll be Liu Zhenyuan, Lu Zhenyuan, and Wang Zhenyuan. Are you so lucky every time? You don’t want your face? I still want it!” Jiang Rongyan was so angry that he felt uncomfortable. Xu Anran’s hands gripped the blanket tightly. Her fingertips were so tight that they turned white. Even her body was trembling. Jiang Rongyan silently looked at her back and sighed silently. ‘Xu Anran, Oh Xu Anran, you’re really capable! Every time, you can make me so angry!’

Creak– The ward door opened. Immediately after, Zhao Jing walked in with long legs. When he saw Jiang Rongyan’s angry appearance, he patted his shoulder and motioned for him to calm down.

“Li Zhenyuan has already confessed. He said that he was at the bar and saw Sister-in-law drinking alone. In addition, he didn’t manage to woo Sister-in-law in the past, so he became lascivious and brought Sister-in-law to the hotel.” Zhao Jing shrugged his shoulders. He said, “But because he started a live broadcast in the same city, although it was cut off later, many people saw Sister-in-law’s face.”

“Public opinion is the most fatal..” Zhao Jing’s tone was somewhat helpless.
