She divorced with her property, and her ex-husband chased her around the world

Shang Manyue looked at her for a few seconds and spoke first, "Sit down."

Xu Xiangnuan did not sit down, but instead held her stomach and knelt down gently.

Shang Manyue frowned, but she did not help her. She just said calmly: "You don't have to do this..."

"Man Yue, I'm sorry."

Xu Xiangnuan knew that the scene Shang Manyue had just performed in the living room was also for her to see.

Although originally... she didn't want to shirk responsibility.

Shang Manyue looked at her in silence for a long time before she spoke, "What did Jiang Yuan threaten you with?"

Xu Xiangnuan, "Child."

This answer is also expected.

Xu Xiangnuan is already alone, and the only thing she cares about is this child.

Shang Manyue's gaze fell on her drooping eyebrows, and she said softly: "Since you have decided to betray me for the sake of your child, why... show mercy?"

Xu Xiangnuan did drug her.

But what she used was not the bottle of powder that Jiang Yuan gave her, but... a rare and special thing that was a bit like a fake death drug.

It will cause false shock.

Shang Manyue found out the truth before he took advantage of her trick and was drugged by her, thus faking his death to deceive everyone.

Hearing her words, Xu Xiangnuan looked up at Shang Manyue with slight surprise.

It turned out that she had already found out everything.

Yes, the fact that she was able to come back safely proves that all the plans were just what she wanted to make happen.

Xu Xiangnuan's eyes gradually turned red.

"You have been kind to me and my child, I cannot repay kindness with hatred."

"But I can't ignore my child."

"So, there was a moment when I was hesitant, and I was not innocent."

She didn't defend herself, she spoke her mind.

Maybe this is human nature. No one can remain true to their original intention when facing such a threat.

After a pause, she spoke again, word by word clearly, "I changed the medicine, but I have another selfish motive."

"Jiang Yuan can agree to my conditions, and so can you. Rather than trying to get the skin of a tiger, I might as well... come and beg you."

At this moment, Shang Manyue saw that this timid woman like a little white rabbit was gradually transforming.

She bore the responsibility for her family's mistakes and lived with Brian's hatred for many years. Her last escape was probably the bravest and most rebellious thing she had ever done since she grew up.

Unfortunately, she was soon caught by Brian, and her childhood friend was implicated for helping her.

At that time, she felt hopeless and didn't want to live anymore.

The arrival of this child was her last ray of light and hope.

Everything she did was to protect her children.

Shang Manyue also understands the selfishness of being a mother.

She pondered for a moment and said directly, "You were originally going to use this fake death drug on yourself, right?"

At this moment, Shang Manyue finally understood all the thoughts hidden in her heart.

Ever since she called her for help, Xu Xiangnuan had never thought of turning back. It was impossible for her to be with Brian again. She was waiting for the opportunity. Before Brian came back to Hong Kong City, she would try her best to fake her death and escape, taking the child and running away.

It’s just… Shang Manyue and Jiang Yuan’s fight dragged her into it, so she had to reveal her thoughts in advance.

Xu Xiangnuan had already seen Shang Manyue's meticulous mind and knew that she couldn't hide it from her, so she did not deny it and nodded slightly.

"Man Yue, I know you treat me well because you are kind-hearted, not just because I am pregnant with Shang Jia's child."

"So, I took advantage of your kindness, and I feel guilty."

"It's just... you should know what it means to be irreversible. Between Brian and I, it's not like we can get back together just because the child is proven to be his. There are too many people and things between us. I... am in pain. I'm scared when I think about him coming back soon."

Shang Manyue was silent for a long time.

"You, don't love him anymore?"

Xu Xiangnuan lowered his head and remained silent.

The villa was eerily quiet late at night.

“When a lover is no longer a lover, when this love is mixed with resentment and suspicion, this relationship becomes torture and torment.”

Xu Xiangnuan's tears fell silently. "When I think of him now, I am only filled with fear. How can I continue?"

Shang Manyue stared at her in a daze. At this moment, it seemed as if he saw his current self through her.

Although her and Huo Jingbo's situations were different from theirs, they led to the same conclusion.

Xu Xiangnuan could no longer believe that she and Brian could really start over.

She too...

"What do you want me to do?"

Xu Xiangnuan, "Please, help me change my identity. I will leave by myself and live a good life with my child. I only hope that Brian and I will never see each other again in the future."

"As long as I "die", he won't hold any grudges against me anymore. If he can meet a woman he truly loves in the future, his life will be complete."

Shang Manyue turned her head and looked at the dark night outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

After a while, she finally responded.

"Brian will be back in about two months. I can only help you delay for two months."

Even if it was a fake death, with Brian's personality, he would not believe it easily.

He would dig three feet into the ground to find the person.

How far Xu Xiangnuan can run and whether she can really hide depends on her own ability.

"Xu Xiangnuan, this is the last time I will help you. From now on, no matter what happens between you and Brian, I will not care about it anymore."

Everyone is responsible for their own choices.

It is impossible for others to interfere in your life.

Xu Xiangnuan got what he wanted and closed his eyes tightly.

"Thank you."

……

When Shang Manyue fell asleep, the sky was already turning pale.

But she was very tired, so she lay down on the bed, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

This sleep was very deep, as if it could make up for all the tiredness during this period at once.

In the dream, there are all kinds of strange scenes of light and shadow.

There are many of her and Jiang Yuan, and also many of her and Huo Jingbo.

It was once happy, but the ending is always... sad.

When I woke up, the sky outside was filled with sunset glow.

She slept for a whole day.

And her pillowcase was wet in a large area.

Shang Manyue sat on the bed for a long time. After calming down a little, she went to the bathroom to wash up.

When she went downstairs, she smelled the fragrance of food.

I thought it was Aunt Chen who had prepared something delicious, but when I walked into the restaurant, I saw it was Huo Jingbo, wearing an apron, who had prepared almost a whole table of food.

They are all her favorite food.

Seeing Shang Manyue coming down, the man's lips curled slightly, "Are you hungry? Come and eat."

Shang Manyue looked around and found that Aunt Chen and the other servants were gone. There were only two of them left in the huge villa.

It should be that Huo Jingbo specially arranged this time alone.

Shang Manyue didn't say anything. She walked over, pulled out a chair, sat down, and started eating in silence.

Huo Jingbo took off his apron, sat opposite her and watched her eat.

After a moment, Shang Manyue put down her chopsticks, took a sip of water, and looked at Huo Jingbo with her dark eyes.

Huo Jingbo frowned slightly, "Don't you want to eat a little more?"

"Can't eat anymore."

Huo Jingbo didn't force it. He reached out and held Shang Manyue's hand.

"Man Yue, I have something to tell you..."

Shang Manyue also spoke up and interrupted him directly, "Huo Jingbo, I don't want to be with you anymore."
