He had really forgotten how he could put in so much force that time. How could he be so ruthless to break a woman’s arm? Even if it wasn’t her and was someone else, he couldn’t do that, too.

He smashed the wall beside him forcefully, his hand clenching into a fist. Blood flowed down through his fingers.

This was just a thousandth of the pain.

After the check-up, Gao Yi took the medical report and scanned it. Xia Ruoxin held her arm carefully and walked to the washroom. The check-up wasn’t really that scary. Her hand shifted to her shoulder, and she slowly lifted her left hand. Even though it wasn’t as flexible as her right hand, it was much better than she had imagined.

She opened the door to the washroom and was stunned. Inside was someone she didn’t want to see.

Li Manni.

Li Manni was surprised, too. She placed her hand to her stomach and sneered suddenly. “You can’t steal him away anymore. I’m Chu Lui’s wife, and my child will be the heir to the Chu Enterprise. You’re nothing four years ago, and in the future, you will be nothing, too.” She arched her back and flaunted her stomach to Xia Ruoxin purposely. Even though it was still flat, her actions clearly communicated the fact that she was a pregnant lady now, and that she was carrying Chu Lui’s child.

Xia Ruoxin entered and turned on the tap. The flush of the water accompanied her calm voice. “I have never thought about getting back together with him, don’t worry. I said before that I’m not interested in being a mistress. I’m not you.”

Her tone was indifferent, but it made Li Manni blanched. She scoffed ludicrously with an undeterred expression on her face. “So what if I was the mistress? Everyone knew how Chu Lui treated you and me. I was the mistress, but I had everything. Yet, what about you? So, Xia Ruoxin, you’re destined to be a loser for life.

“Oh, right.” Li Manni leaned in towards Xia Ruoxin. “I forgot. You have a man with you now. Looks like he’s treating you well. Isn’t he bothered by you flirting with and seducing other men? Isn’t he worried that he would catch you on the bed with another man?”

Li Manni’s usual gentleness and kindness were long gone. No one would believe that this woman spewing vicious words with her face contorted was the kind and gentle wife of the CEO of the Chu enterprise unless they see it with their own eyes.

“It’s none of your business how I am, right?” Xia Ruoxin’s hand was still in the air, but it was undeniable that Li Manni’s words had cut her. Even if Gao Yi believed her, would others?

“Hah…” Li Manni laughed again. Something flashed across her eyes, and she leaned in again. “Aren’t you curious why my stomach is so flat? Aren’t you curious how far I am in my pregnancy?”

“I’m not interested. I’m not the one who made you pregnant, right?” Xia Ruoxin continued washing her hands, the cold from her fingertips seeping into her heart.

“Let me tell you.” Li Manni straightened and sneered coldly. “The child from before was fake. I wanted your daughter to die. She wasn’t supposed to even exist. As long as she’s Chu Lui’s child, then she needs to die.

“So I pretended that I was pregnant and forced Chu Lui to choose between me and your daughter. He chose me, obviously.

“Your child should be dead now. I heard she was very sickly.”

Li Manni reached a hand out to cover her mouth as she laughed gleefully. Her cheeks quivered slightly from the force of her laugh. It seemed it was the only way for her unstable heart to stabilize.

Xia Ruoxin retracted her hands. The water continued to fall from the tap. Her ears were ringing. She couldn’t believe what she had just heard.

“You’re crazy. You won’t even let a child go. You’re really insane.” Xia Ruoxin stepped towards her and clenched her fist, resisting the urge to hit the woman.

She wasn’t her. She still had a conscience and knew that she was pregnant. Yet, she cared about her child, but this woman still wanted to harm her daughter.

She was inhumane. Really inhumane.

“Here. Hit me. Do it.” Li Manni pointed at her cheek. “Hit me hard.” Her smile became more gleeful and delighted.

There was a loud smack, and a fresh red handprint appeared on Li Manni’s cheek.

Li Manni was utterly stunned, and her smile froze on her face. She had hit her. She really dared to do so. All her life, she had never been hit by anyone; but this woman had the nerve to.

She was about to raise her hand when the door opened roughly. Li Manni quickly held her hand to her cheek, her face changing like the weather. Her domineering arrogance instantly transformed into a weak pitifulness.

Really, not even a professional actor could compare to her.

A man walked in and pushed away the woman in front of Li Manni without a second thought or a second glance.

Xia Ruoxin wasn’t standing steady on her feet, and when he pushed her, she lost her footing and fell to the ground, knocking her head on the sink. Her tears fell instantly, not only because it hurt, but because she was bitterly disappointed.

“Manni, are you alright?” Chu Lui held Li Manni carefully. His eyes hardened when he saw the handprint on her face. He turned around to face the woman. How dare she lay a hand on someone from the Chu family.

However, when he saw who it was on the ground, he balked. Regret beyond words washed over him. Why was it her?

“Ruoxin…” He lowered himself immediately to help Xia Ruoxin up from the ground, but Xia Ruoxin shook him away forcefully. “Why, do you want to take revenge for her?” Xia Ruoxin tilted her chin up, but her vision turned red suddenly. She blinked, but it was still red.

“Ruoxin, don’t move. Stay still.” Chu Lui’s voice trembled, but Xia Ruoxin reached a hand out to her forehead and retracted it slowly. Her fingertips were stained red. She was bleeding.

“Hah…” She let out a sudden laugh. Someone’s heart was aching.
