"You told me to get out."

Fu Runing looked at the man in front of her and deliberately emphasized the word "get out".

Her eyes were red as she stood before him naked, feeling aggrieved yet a bit stubborn.

Xiao Jingting simply turned his face away and pressed his fingers on his swollen brows.

Fu Runing didn't hear him and started to put on her clothes. Her fingers were trembling, but she tried hard to suppress it.

When she raised her eyes, the feelings of grievance that should not have belonged to her had been completely cleared away.

"Wake up! Don't go crazy after drinking too much."

After saying that, Fu Runing turned and left without stopping at all.

Duoduo had heard the noise at the door a long time ago. When she saw her come out, she followed her with sleepy eyes.

She brought Duoduo into the second bedroom. Duoduo sat down obediently on the mat under the bed, put her head on the edge of the bed, and stared at her without blinking.

Small animals can sense their owner's sadness.

Fu Runing pulled the quilt higher and silently hid her head in it so that Duoduo couldn't see it.

Duoduo stretched out her claws to pull at her quilt, humming anxiously at the edge of the bed.

Fu Runing stretched out a hand from under the quilt and stroked Duoduo's head, feeling a strong soreness in her nose.

She thought back to what happened three years ago.

My second uncle Fu Jinbei is the kind of person who has an active mind and good luck. He started out with a small business, and then took advantage of the favorable conditions to get involved in construction. He visited many people, made friends with all kinds of people, and kept up with the trend of the times to continuously optimize his asset structure. His business is getting bigger and bigger.

Although it cannot be compared with the wealth accumulated by several generations of the Xiao family, their family has always lived a rich life.

Maybe their lives were going too smoothly, so the collapse came so suddenly.

A few years ago, in the battle between the gods, my second uncle was not standing in the right position and was implicated.

To make matters worse, her cousin who was abroad was accused of rape and arrested by local police. At the same time, an employee in China accused her brother of molesting a girl in the media, which caused a huge uproar. The employees held up banners in the factory to demand justice.

Rumors can bring people down, and when a wall falls, everyone pushes it down.

Later, the Fu family's business investors withdrew their investments, the buildings under construction were left unfinished, and all their relationships were blocked. Apart from endless lawsuits and debts, nothing was left. The group of friends who used to be brothers with the second uncle were now busy vying to take advantage of the situation.

Fu Runing didn't understand business matters, but she once heard her second uncle mention to her father that their family had another relationship.

It was Xiao Jingting who had been adopted into the Xiao family five years ago.

Dad rejected Second Uncle's idea, saying that Jingting had only been back to the Xiao family for a short time and might not be able to have a say. He had a bright future, and since he had already broken with the past, there was no need to disturb him anymore.

However, my second uncle scolded my father for his talk of benevolence and righteousness. He said that as long as they could establish a relationship with the Xiao family, even for the sake of the Xiao family's face, their family's situation would be much better than it is now, and they would not have to really reach the point of despair.

That day, my second uncle had a big fight with my father, and Fu Runing took their words to heart.

In the five years since Xiao Jingting was adopted into the Xiao family, Fu Runing has seen him only a handful of times, and they should have had no contact.

It’s not that he didn’t contribute to her family’s affairs, but it wasn’t enough.

Fu Runing took the initiative to call him and frequently asked him to meet, but the effect was minimal. He still hated her as much as he did in those years.

If it weren't for the experience of living under the same roof, I probably wouldn't have come to meet her.

Xiao Jingting didn't like her and had limited patience with her. Even if they met, they could only say a few words.

Every time this happened, Fu Runing would regret why she didn't get along well with him for those five years. If she had been gentler to him earlier, would he have cherished their old relationship more?

Not long after, she heard someone mention that the Xiao family had chosen a suitable fiancée for Xiao Jingting. No matter who it was, or whether Xiao Jingting liked his fiancée or not, they were a perfect match.

What made Fu Runing make up her mind was that in the hospital, her father and the doctor said they did not plan to continue treatment.

That day, she cried secretly for a long time in a corner of the hospital.

Later, she inquired about Xiao Jingting's whereabouts and learned that he had a social engagement that day, but she offered to drive to pick him up and take him back to the hotel where he was staying.

Afterwards, Xiao Jingting's assistant left, but Fu Runing did not leave.

She took off her clothes piece by piece, crushing her self-esteem bit by bit.

She took the initiative to climb onto his bed, to kiss him, and to unbuckle his belt...

That absurd and passionate affair happened when he was half drunk. She was very glad that Xiao Jingting slept with her after she had done her best to tease him.

That memory was not a good one.

What was even more difficult to face was the look in Xiao Jingting's eyes when she woke up in the morning, which was so cold to the bone.

That look pressed down on her spine, making her unable to raise her head in embarrassment.

She lowered her head under his cold and sarcastic gaze, abandoning her former pride.

She said, "I'm 22 years old. Marry me. I will be a good wife to you. I will love you, listen to you, and give birth to as many children as you want. I will definitely keep my word..."

At that time, Xiao Jingting just said coldly:

"Fu Runing, it's just a one-night stand, why do you take yourself so seriously?"

Later, Xiao Jingting left the hotel and she sat alone in the empty suite for a long time.

After that, she continued to make appointments with him every day and chased after him, wishing that everyone would know that she had a relationship with Xiao Jingting.

In return, Xiao Jingting treated him coldly again and again.

A month later, she missed her period and was found to be pregnant.

In the end, Fu Runing married into the Xiao family with the help of this child. They hurriedly got the marriage certificate. There was no wedding, only a simple family dinner, and even only a few elders of the Xiao family attended the dinner.

Connections are very useful. Just as my second uncle said, having connections with the Xiao family will put you in a completely different situation.

What's more, the man she married was the eldest grandson of the Xiao family, which made their relationship even more unusual.

The partners who had withdrawn their investment came back with the money, and the people who were originally pressing for debt collection stopped chasing after them. The hole of tens of billions was filled with the capital injection from the Xiao family, and the stagnant pool was finally revived.

But the child she used as a bargaining chip did not stay. The baby did not develop a fetal heartbeat and stopped developing.

Perhaps, in some mysterious way, the child would not want to choose such a snobbish person as his mother.

When the uterus was being cleaned in the operating room, Fu Runing couldn't help crying. The pain was beyond any pain in her body and made it difficult for her to breathe.

But as Xiao Jingting said, she is more expensive than others.

It was she who took the initiative to take off all her clothes and put herself in front of him.

What you play with, you will be played with.

Three years ago, she gambled with her children, and the price was that she had two abortions in three years.

She gambled her marriage, and what she got was a marriage that was destined to have no result.

Xiao Jingting said that she had no right to make trouble, and it was true.

In the darkness, Fu Runing wiped the tears from her face.

As expected, people tend to have emotional outbursts late at night. She comforted herself that she would be fine after a good night's sleep.
