Kang Jinse thought to herself that she might need to secretly transfer Ah Xian to another hospital, but what she feared more was that Ji Yunya would find out.
If she had known earlier that Ah Xian had leukemia, she would never have stooped so low as to conspire with Ji Yunya to set up Ah Xian; sadly, there’s no medicine for regret in the world.
Given Ji Yunya’s methods, she was certain that he would never let Ah Xian off the hook, and even she might be ruthlessly discarded once her usefulness was over.
It was only now that she thought of Yun Shu, whom she hadn’t seen much of lately. Only Yun Shu could deal with Ji Yunya.
She called Yun Shu’s cell phone, but it was turned off.
She called the Yun Family’s landline, and it was Aunt Li who answered, saying that Yun Shu had left early in the morning.
After hanging up, Aunt Li spat in secret contempt, "They’re all like rats scurrying across the street; even talking to them feels demeaning. Miss Yun Ya, on the other hand, is truly admirable. Just look at how she shone on television last night."
That’s what a true lady from a wealthy family looks like, not Kang Jinxian, that wild hen, thinking she could compare. Did she think Aunt Li was unaware? That wench always sneaked into her room to steal keys to the study at night; to crawl into bed with such audacity truly had no equal.
Indeed, birds of a feather flock together; she’s as lewd to the very bone as Yun Shu.
For the Yun Family to have raised someone like Ji Yunya is a stroke of incredible luck indeed.
No sooner had Kang Jinse left than the door to the sickroom was pushed open. Kang Jinxian thought Kang Jinse had returned, and she turned over, not wishing to see her.
"Kang Jinxian, can you still sleep? Should I say you’re thick-skinned or heartless?" A mocking voice suddenly sounded from behind her.
Kang Jinxian shivered, sat up swiftly, and saw a dark-faced man standing before her bed.
"He... He An? How did you get here?" Kang Jinxian instinctively felt a bit scared and couldn’t help but shrink back.
He An pulled over a chair and sat down, relishing her fear, a smile tugging at his lips, "Of course, I have to come check on my fiancée, the mother of my future child."
Kang Jinxian’s heart skipped a beat and she looked up at him with pitiful eyes, "He An, I was framed, you must believe me, I have only ever loved you."
He An slapped her hard in reaction, and Kang Jinxian was flipped over onto the bed, utterly stunned by the blow.
"Slut, you’re still lying to me? You and Yun Shen, siblings in an incestuous relationship, and you still have the audacity to say such things? Do you know what people are saying about me outside? Wu Dalang, Kang Jinxian, you really have some nerve; even Pan Jinlian has more decency than you."
Kang Jinxian covered her face and whimpered, "He An, you really misunderstand me. I have nothing with Yun Shen, all of this was a deliberate set-up by my sister. Ever since she lost her child, she’s been a bit mentally unstable..."
He An laughed contemptuously out of sheer irritation, "The evidence is irrefutable, such clear video footage, and you dare say you were framed? Do you think I’m a fool?"
"It was Yun Shen who forced me; I really didn’t want to, He An, can you forgive me? I promise it won’t happen again."
"Forced you? Don’t tell me Li Yue also forced you?" He An’s lips curled up in a mocking smile.
Kang Jinxian was taken aback; indeed, that one had been forced...
"It’s Ji Yunya, I was set up by Ji Yunya; that night at the hotel, she schemed to have Li Yue drug and rape me. How could I ever like someone like Li Yue, He An, you must believe me."
He An shoved away her reaching hand in annoyance, "Enough, don’t try to splatter someone else with your filth. Last night, you were the target of public scorn, while Ji Yunya received universal praise. Do you think the city’s top socialite would bother with someone like you? There’s not a single truthful word in your mouth, always trying to smear Ji Yunya in front of me; you know exactly what you’re doing."
What did he mean, Ji Yunya received universal praise? Did something happen after she fainted? But now wasn’t the time to think about these matters; she had to cling to He An, her only hope.
"No, I’m telling the truth, He An, you must believe me, think about our child..."
As soon as she mentioned the child, He An’s hands and feet shook with rage, "You try to pass off your bastard with Yun Shen as mine, Kang Jinxian, I wish I could strangle you."
"How is that possible? This child really is yours," Kang Jinxian said in fear, instinctively reaching to pull He An toward her.
He An took out his phone, opened a recording, and a clear playback of a past conversation between her and Kang Jinse resounded. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ noᴠelfire.net
