An Xiaxia stumbled on her feet and nearly fell.
A figure rushed into sight at lightning speed and caught her in time, preventing an accidental fall.
Chu Zhiyun was astonished. “Who are you?”
Why was there a man in the ladies’ washroom?
Kang Jian frowned and let go of An Xiaxia with a grim face. He then strode off, disappearing as quickly as he had shown up.
An Xiaxia steadied herself, still grimacing. She then glared at Chu Zhiyun. “Did you do that on purpose?”
“This is a small room. Isn’t it normal to bump into other people?” Chu Zhiyun smiled. “Even your mum couldn’t defeat me. What makes you think you can?”
That set An Xiaxia off right away.
“Shut up!”
“I will not!” Chu Zhiyun giggled with delight. “Mind you, if I could get your mother sent to a mental hospital, I can do the same to you! It’s time to wake up, kid. No man is faithful forever. He may be all protective now, but he’ll be equally merciless when he dumps you~”
So, Chu Zhiyun was indeed responsible for sending her mother to the mental hospital!
An Xiaxia clenched her fists. Had it been any other day, she wouldn’t have hesitated to slap Chu Zhiyun.
However, she dared not take the risk now when she was with child.
After Chu Zhiyun strutted off, An Xiaxia leaned on the sink and wept.
Was it true that being pregnant made one more fragile?
She had never thought that she would cry from such petty provocation.
Outside, Kang Jian said in his deep voice, “Don’t cry.”
“I’m not,” she said in her weepy voice.
Kang Jian said in resignation, “How about I beat her up for you? You’d have to pay me, though.”
“How about two bags of chips?”
“That won’t do. Three bags, at least.”
Those words cheered An Xiaxia up right away. When she opened the door again, Kang Jian was nowhere to be seen.
Kang Jian had been acting strange ever since she found out she was pregnant. He never showed his face, but would only protect her in this secretive manner.
Men were so weird in their own way.

The general meeting was coming to an end and Chu Zhiyun went up on stage to give an encouraging speech on behalf of Mr. Song, which was received with a round of enthusiastic applause.
“Sigh, what a pity. Such a beautiful woman has become a widow.”
“That’s right. Although, she should have inherited quite a lot of shares as his wife. She’s settled for life…”
“Talk about marrying the right man. We can only envy her from afar!”
“…”
Everyone was whispering about Chu Zhiyun and Mr. Song.
Looking down at the audience, Chu Zhiyun smiled triumphantly.
See? She had racked her brain and schemed and finally won. She had everything now.
Zhong Yue, Mr. Song, Song Qingwan, An Xiaxia… No one could stop her!
She was delirious with joy!
Just then, a tall man entered the hall. He wore a black suit, a white shirt, and silver-rimmed glasses. There was something very unattainable about him.
“Ms. Chu, nice to meet you.” An Yibei stopped at the foot of the stage, speaking at a volume just loud enough for everyone to hear.
Chu Zhiyun kept her composure, and greeted him with a nod and a graceful smile.
She was about to step down from the stage when An Yibei raised his voice suddenly. “Ms. Chu, on behalf of the procuratorate, I hereby indict you for your crime!”
Chu Zhiyun clenched her fists. Damn it! What was with this fuss?
She fought to keep the smile on her face. “On what charge? Mr. Lawyer, isn’t defamation a crime, too?”
An Yibei adjusted his glasses and smiled grimly. “Don’t worry. I can assure you that there’s more than enough evidence to earn you a trip to prison!”
