Qi Xiwei's hand froze on her abdomen. She sat on the hospital bed, looking lifeless. Her eyes were lifeless as well. She was staring at an unknown point.
"Do you still remember my stepmother?"
"Your stepmother? Isn't she in prison? "
"Yes. She's in prison. " Qi Xiwei chuckled. Her voice was extremely sarcastic. "She's in prison, and she died in prison."
"…" Huo Jinyao's eyes widened. If he remembered correctly, Qi Xiwei's stepmother was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
"I don't know whose retribution this is. Is it mine? It was Lian Jin's. Oh right, his full name was not Lian Jin, but Shen Jin. Lian is his mother's surname. She is my stepmother, Shen Mingzhu's younger brother. "
"What?" This time, even Huo Jinyao was surprised. "Are you saying that Lian Jin is your stepmother's younger brother? Are you sure? "
"He said it himself."
Qi Xiwei's expression didn't change. She didn't want to recall her stupidity. But in fact, she was really stupid.
For so many years, she had rejected the advances of those men. Firstly, she hadn't met anyone that she liked. Secondly, she always thought that if she had the chance, she would still want to find a Chinese man.
Just the year before last, Shen Jin appeared in front of her under the alias of Lian Jin. At first, Lian Jin was a marketing director of her partner company.
They were both from China and were both struggling in a foreign country. When working together, Qi Xiwei was more patient with Lian Jin than with others.
Soon, she admired Lian Jin's ability in public affairs. Outside of work, Lian Jin began to contact her in private.
She was a very slow person to warm up. Back then, Huo Jinyao was so outstanding, but she didn't fall in love with him.
Therefore, Qi Xiwei even thought that she would never fall in love with another man in her life. After all, there were very few men in the world who were more outstanding and had a better personality than Huo Jinyao.
She was wary of others, so Lian Jin patiently expressed his goodwill and approached her again and again.
She didn't believe in men, so Lian Jin kept putting down his pride and using his own efforts to move her.
Again and again. Qi Xiwei's heart wasn't made of iron. What's more, she was struggling alone in a foreign land. She had also experienced her father's affair and her mother's death.
Deep in her bones, she longed for warmth and love. Lian Jin spent nearly a year pursuing her. She was finally moved.
On Lian Jin's birthday, she agreed to live with him.
During the first half of their cohabitation, she lived a very happy life. She thought she was the happiest woman in the world.
However, the more blissful she felt before, the more painful she felt afterwards.
Half a year later, Lian Jin began to leave early and return late. At first, she could convince herself that he was busy with work.
However, as she continued to discover women's perfume, women's hair, and even other women's lips on his body, she could no longer deceive herself.
She quarreled with Lian Jin and argued with him. Lian Jin said that he had made a mistake and asked her to forgive him.
In his pleading, she forgave him for the first time. But reality told him that if there was a first, there would be a second. If there were two, there would be three.
After that, Lian Jin reverted to his old ways, and Qi Xiwei couldn't take it anymore. One day, when Lian Jin returned late, she told Lian Jin that she wanted to break up.
Lian Jin, that pervert, imprisoned her at that time. He threw away all her clothes and left her naked at home.
But he still went out every day and came back to deliberately let her see the traces of other women on his body.
In the end, he even openly brought other women back. He let her watch him make out with other women.
Qi Xiwei was almost driven crazy by Lian Jin. That day, she held a knife and was about to stab Lian Jin, but she was a woman and couldn't beat Lian Jin in martial arts, so the knife was taken away by him.
When Qi Xiwei was about to break up and sue him, Lian Jin told her.
If she wanted to break up, she could forget about it. What he wanted to do was to torture her. He wanted to torture her all the time. To make her suffer.
Qi Xiwei didn't understand and asked Lian Jin why.
"Shen Mingzhu, do you still remember?"
"Who are you? Who are you? "
"I'm Shen Jin, Shen Mingzhu's younger brother."
Lian Jin and Shen Mingzhu had a good relationship. In the early years, the family's conditions were poor, and Shen Mingzhu worked a few jobs to reduce the burden on the family.
Later, when she went to work, most of her salary was given to the family.
Lian Jin had deep feelings for her. Later, Shen Mingzhu married someone. Although that man was more than ten years older than Shen Mingzhu, he treated Shen Mingzhu very well. The Shen family had no objections.
But the Shen family didn't expect that Shen Mingzhu would be sent to prison after being married for less than ten years?
The Shen family couldn't accept this fact. They appealed, but it was useless. The evidence was conclusive. Shen Mingzhu was sentenced to fifteen years.
Fifteen years. When she came out, she was already old.
Shen Jin was the first to not accept it. But what they didn't expect was yet to come. Not long after Shen Mingzhu went to prison, she actually had a miscarriage.
It turned out that she already had a child when she was locked up, but she hadn't gotten pregnant for so many years. In addition, she was distracted by the fact that she was arrested.
By the time she found out, the child was already gone. Shen Mingzhu lost her child. A place like prison couldn't have a good environment.
Her health deteriorated. Not long after, the prison transferred them to a prison in a neighboring city because of the new protective equipment.
Shen Mingzhu, who had changed to a new environment, was bullied. Once, she had a conflict with a cellmate. In the end, because she was too weak, she was seriously injured by the other party. Not long after she was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, she passed away.
That person was naturally sentenced. But all of this was meaningless to Lian Jin.
After Shen Mingzhu died, the Shen family's parents were sad every day. Especially Mother Shen. Because the knot in her heart couldn't be resolved, she followed after two years.
On the day Mother Shen passed away, Father Shen couldn't take the blow and ran off to become a monk.
To Lian Jin, a good family was torn apart just like that. After his mother passed away and his father became a monk, he was depressed for a long time.
Later, he understood. All of this was Qi Xiwei's fault.
If she hadn't sent Shen Mingzhu to prison. If it hadn't been for Qi Xiwei, how could the Shen family have become like this?
Lian Jin thought it through and decided to take revenge. The simplest and most direct revenge was to make Qi Xiwei suffer.
He didn't want to kill Qi Xiwei. After all, he didn't want to go to prison.
After thinking about it, he finally thought of a way. It was a brilliant way to take revenge.
Previously, Qi Xiwei had lost a lot of money because she died in prison. Lian Jin took the money and followed her out of the country.
With money, a lot of things would become very simple. Moreover, he was quite lucky. When he was looking for a job, he met his later boss.
That boss appreciated his enthusiasm and drive. So he kept helping him.
After having the ability, Lian Jin began to investigate Qi Xiwei. Then, he got close to her.
Perhaps the heavens were helping him. The company that Qi Xiwei worked for actually had a cooperation with their company?
The heavens were simply helping him. Everything that happened next was much simpler. Lian Jin approached step by step, and step by step, Qi Xiwei let down her guard.
In the end, Qi Xiwei fell in love with him. When she loved him so much that she couldn't extricate herself, Lian Jin decided to take the last step of revenge.
Qi Xiwei didn't expect Lian Jin's true identity to be her stepmother's younger brother.
After knowing Lian Jin's identity, she decided not to let him do whatever he wanted.
She thought of a way to steal the woman's phone and call the police when Lian Jin brought another woman over again.
The police arrived very quickly, but because Lian Jin had evidence to prove that they were husband and wife, the police didn't interfere too much in their affairs.
Under Qi Xiwei's constant requests, she was finally able to leave Lian Jin's place. Lian Jin was also warned by the police. They said that even if they were husband and wife, he couldn't lock his wife up. Lian Jin's attitude was very good again, indicating that he would definitely be careful in the future.
Qi Xiwei said that she wanted a divorce, and the police didn't interfere in such matters. They thought that it was their own business.
Qi Xiwei had no choice but to give Lian Jin the divorce agreement and find a lawyer.
She, who thought that Lian Jin wouldn't dare to come again, also returned to the company after being tormented. She started working.
In order to stop herself from thinking about that bastard Lian Jin, she devoted all her energy to work.
That was how the proposal came about. After she made the proposal. Lian Jin came out.
He came to her door and raped her. Qi Xiwei already knew that there was no way to call the police. She and Lian Jin were husband and wife, so Lian Jin could do whatever he wanted.
Moreover, with the evidence, it was useless for Qi Xiwei to defend herself. Because Lian Jin actually had the photos of her in bed with him. There was also the video, plus their relationship as husband and wife.
She had no way to get rid of Lian Jin and face Lian Jin's repeated harassment. Qi Xiwei was mentally and physically exhausted.
But she didn't expect that she was already pregnant at this time. Moreover, it had already been more than three months. In addition, her health was already poor to begin with. The doctor told her that if she chose to abort the child, the end result would be that she might never have a child of her own again.
Qi Xiwei, who was in a dilemma and constantly conflicted, finally chose to keep the child.
She was now alone. If possible, she wanted to have a child. That way, she wouldn't be lonely in the future. That was good too. The child was hers alone.
She didn't expect Lian Jin to come looking for her again at that time. Qi Xiwei had no choice but to escape back to the country.
Her mother had left her a sum of money, including the villa she was living in now.
She chose to stay here to keep the baby. Firstly, she didn't have the energy, and secondly, she thought about how Huo Jinyao had taken care of her before. So she gave the proposal to Huo Jinyao.
She thought that she could give birth to the child safely, but she didn't expect Lian Jin to come looking for her again.
Her voice was very soft, and towards the end, it was almost hoarse.
Huo Jinyao didn't expect things to turn out like this. He looked at Qi Xiwei, whose face was pale and who looked like she had lost her soul, and poured her a glass of water.
