The obedient girl glances up, and the tyrannical tycoon kneels down to pamper her.

The mother and daughter remained locked in a stalemate for a moment.

Xing's mother dared not look her daughter in the eye and turned to leave.

He found Lin Zhengyu and asked, "Zhengyu, tell me honestly what happened? Why did you ask me to call Yurou over?"

"Mom..." Lin Zhengyu smiled, clearly intending to continue his previous statement.

Mother Xing said, "Don't lie to me! Zhengyu, you are my good son, don't lie to me."

Lin Zhengyu knew that she had gone to see Xing Yuru, and the smile on his face gradually faded. He no longer hid it: "You came to ask me because you already agree with Yuru's statement."

“You can explain.”

"There's nothing to explain." He took a sip of water, his dark eyes fixed on the waves crashing against the rocks outside the French windows, a hint of anxiety in them.

Things happened too suddenly, and the hiding place wasn't carefully considered. Xing Yanzhao and his men will probably find us soon.

“Mom, I just want to leave here safely. I didn’t hurt you, did I?” Lin Zhengyu turned around and said, “Don’t go looking for Yu Rou anymore. Also, pray that Xing Yanzhao will agree to my conditions as soon as possible. Otherwise, I don’t know what I might do.”

Xing's mother felt a pang of pain in her heart.

"Are you really using me and Yu-rou to threaten your family?"

“They haven’t treated me like family for a long time. And, Mom, Xing Yanzhao doesn’t care about you at all. He only agreed to get me a boat ticket because of Yu Rou.”

Lin Zhengyu's words startled Xing's mother, who seemed somewhat incredulous, as she was Yanzhao's biological mother!

"He only wants Yu Rou to be safe?"

Lin Zhengyu gave an irritated "hmm," and said, "So, actually, only I care about you, and you still want to question me?"

"Putting aside what I'm like, what about Yu Rou? Yu Rou is your sister! How can you use her to threaten your family!"

"Otherwise what?" Lin Zhengyu was already impatient. He raised his hand to look at the time. "If Xing Yanzhao doesn't arrange a route for me within the specified time, I'll have no choice but to take Yu Rou away."

"No!" Xing's mother, still worried about her own daughter, stepped forward and grabbed his arm. "You can't hurt Yu Rou, you can't hurt my daughter!"

"As long as she behaves, I won't hurt her." Lin Zhengyu removed Xing's mother's hand from his arm, his cold eyes terrifying.

Xing's mother felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her, chilling her to the bone.

She then remembered what her daughter had just said.

Zhengyu ultimately turned out to be an ingrate.

She ruined her daughter!

Xing's mother's eyes immediately reddened. Just as she stepped onto the spiral staircase, a warning came from behind her: "Mom, for Yu Rou's sake, you'd better not have any other thoughts and don't get close to her. I'm only saying this once."

Xing's mother closed her eyes slightly, tears streaming down her cheeks.

They all assumed that the well-behaved Xing Yuru would stay quietly in her room, but they forgot that the little princess was not only timid but also had a strong will.

Feeling uneasy, she sensed that her sister-in-law's words had a hidden meaning. Why bring up Pei Youyou? The relationship between her sister-in-law and Pei Youyou had always been fraught with tension.

Considering Pei Youyou's condition, she felt something was wrong from the very beginning.

Why don't we go ask Pei Youyou?

She knew the layout of the villa very well. Pei Youyou was next door. She couldn't go through the main entrance, but she could climb over from the balcony.

Xing Yuru looked down and saw that everything was fine, it was only the second floor. Even if she fell, she wouldn't die. At most, she would break her leg and have to recover in the hospital.

My older brother will definitely find her the best doctor.

So, Xing Yuru cautiously lifted her leg and stepped over, gripping the wall tightly with both hands.

It was her first time doing something like this, and she had no experience. She didn't know that she shouldn't look down at this time, and when she did, she was so scared that she almost let go.

I silently cheered myself up for a while, then rolled over in a cold sweat.

She felt a little relieved the moment she landed, but she couldn't be completely at ease because she was afraid that her second brother would suddenly appear and catch her.

My second brother is no longer the same person he used to be. If you anger him, he will definitely not show you any mercy.

Sneaking in from the balcony, I saw Pei Youyou sitting on the floor, leaning against the bed, tears streaming down her face without any expression.

Are you depressed?

What major shock caused this?

Xing Yuru didn't like Pei Youyou, but she couldn't help but feel a little bit of a saint. She went over and asked her what was wrong. When she didn't get an answer, she sat down with her.

"Do you know how many of Pei's projects your brother suspended in order to protect you?"

"Also, why did you help my second brother transfer Pei's funds? Pei was already cutting off an arm to survive, and now that it has no money and no one is helping it, it won't be long before it goes bankrupt and is liquidated."

"You are the Pei family!" The renowned Pei family of Ningcheng! Even if they eventually decline, this is not the time.

“I know you love your second brother very much. Back then, you didn’t hesitate to push my sister-in-law out to marry him. My sister-in-law has no blood relation with you, which is understandable, but…” Xing Yuru really couldn’t understand one thing, “Why did you help your second brother empty his own family’s coffers?”

Pei Youyou's eyes flickered, and she turned her head. "What did you say?"

"You...you didn't know, did you?" Xing Yuru knew something was wrong just by looking at her. It turned out her second brother had been keeping her in the dark all along. She grabbed her shoulders and said, "Wake up, Pei Youyou! Your parents and your brother are almost bankrupt because of you!"

"What do you mean?" Pei Youyou's lips were pale, and her mind was sluggish.

Xing Yuru recounted the whole story from beginning to end, and Pei Youyou finally realized that she had been kept in the dark.

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Why would I lie to you? Do you know why we're here? My second brother committed a crime, the police are after him, and we're hostages! He's using us to negotiate!"

Pei Youyou's unfocused gaze gradually sharpened, and she suddenly roared, startling Xing Yurou into quickly covering her mouth.

It's still too late.

Lin Zhengyu pushed open the door and came in. When he saw Xing Yuru standing there, surprise flashed in his eyes, but only ruthlessness remained.

"How did you get here?" He strode aggressively toward Xing Yuru.

Xing Yuru was so frightened that she backed away repeatedly. Just as she was about to be grabbed, Pei Youyou rushed over and frantically grabbed Lin Zhengyu's clothes.

"You lied to me, you lied to me!" Lin Zhengyu gritted his teeth. "How dare you lie to me! You cheated on me with another man and lied to me, saying that my family was looking for me because they were abandoning me!"

cheating?

man?

Xing Yuru was terrified.

My second brother not only cheated on his wife, but the person he cheated on her with was also a man?

Lin Zhengyu's gentle and noble image completely collapsed in her mind. My God, how could he be so disgusting?

No wonder Pei Youyou's condition is off; she's not going back, and she's no longer as affectionate with Lin Zhengyu as before.

"Pei Youyou, don't go crazy!"

"I've gone mad! I went mad when you cheated on me, when you ravaged me in bed!" Pei Youyou pushed him with all her might, slamming him against the table. A sudden pain shot through her waist, and she was thrown to the ground.

"You also misappropriated Pei's money in my name, didn't you?" Pei Youyou, ignoring the pain, stood up unsteadily. "Why did you do this to me!"

"Why!" Pei Youyou screamed hoarsely, grabbing a stool and smashing it down, looking like she was going to die with him.

Xing Yuru seized the opportunity and ran away.

Realizing she was about to run away, Lin Zhengyu tried to chase after her, but Pei Youyou kept pestering him from behind.

"Damn it!" Lin Zhengyu raised his arm to catch Pei Youyou's stool, and then kicked her in the stomach.

I had thought I should be kind to her because she was pregnant, but she didn't appreciate it.

This kick was delivered with full force, causing Pei Youyou to miscarry again.

"Ahhh!" Pei Youyou went completely berserk and opened her mouth to bite Lin Zhengyu.

Seeing that Xing Yuru was about to escape through the gate, Lin Zhengyu had no choice but to reluctantly drag Pei Youyou after her.

Hearing the commotion, Xing's mother came out and saw long bloodstains on the ground and steps.

I also witnessed a scene I could never have imagined in my life.
