Don't meet me in your next life.

Xiang Yi looked at her, thought for a long time, but couldn't remember where this aunt was from.

"Excuse me, do we know each other?"

"Ha, Miss Xiang really has a bad memory." The auntie gave a sarcastic smile, her eyes revealing a hint of contempt.

"Who exactly are you?" Xiang Yi frowned.

"My name is Zhou Li."

"Oh, so it's Miss Zhou..." Xiang Yi suddenly realized.

She really didn't know this Zhou Li.

However, judging from her arrogant demeanor, she seemed to have a bad impression of her and even deliberately reminded her, which meant that she and she had a past conflict.

Xiang Yi couldn't help but wonder who she had offended recently.

She was always cautious and careful, never wanting to offend anyone. Unless...

Xiang Yi's eyes suddenly widened. She remembered—it was Zhou Li!

That time, at the banquet, she and Shen Lan teamed up to bully her, and even drugged her, causing her to lose her virginity!

What do you want with me?

Xiang Yi looked at her coldly, her tone completely indifferent.

"Miss Xiang is indeed exceptionally intelligent; you guessed exactly what I was about to say."

Zhou Li snorted coldly, "However, Miss Xiang, I'm just following orders. You don't need to worry. As long as you cooperate with my plan, I guarantee I'll help you get rid of that bastard in your belly!"

"You want the child in my belly?" Xiang Yi's expression turned cold.

"Of course," Zhou Li laughed. "You like seducing men, right? Then seduce them properly! I don't believe this child will have a good life after it's born! Let's see how Ji Shengteng will protect you and your child then!"

"You want the child in my belly, is it for the Ji family's money?" Xiang Yi stared at her coldly, her eyes filled with intense hostility.

"Hehe, not bad!"

"Xiang Yiyi!" Zhou Li glared at her, almost jumping up in anger. "You're nothing but an illegitimate child! What right do you have to laugh at me? I have a legitimate job, I earn my own money! How could a cheap slut like you, who only knows how to spend men's money, understand anything!"

"You!" Xiang Yi gritted her teeth in anger.

If it weren't for the child's physical condition, Xiang Yi would have rushed over and slapped her twice already!

"Xiang Yiyi, you'd better not provoke me! I'm telling you! You'd better behave yourself, or you'll be the one who suffers!"

Don't worry!

Xiang Yi sneered twice, "I will never let myself be taken advantage of! So, if I find out you've done anything to hurt me and the child, I will absolutely not let you get away with it!"

Xiang Yi turned and left, her back view stubborn and resolute.

Zhou Li watched her retreating figure, a flash of resentment in her eyes.

"Xiang Yiyi, you just wait!"

Zhou Li clenched her fists tightly, her eyes filled with malice.

"Sister Yi Yi, you're back."

Just as Xiang Yi was about to get into the car, Xiao Niannian ran over.

"What's wrong? Did you miss me?"

She smiled and pinched Xiao Niannian's chubby cheeks.

"No way! I don't miss you at all!" the little guy said, puffing out his cheeks.

"What's wrong? Did Dad bully you again?" Xiang Yi feigned displeasure and put on a stern face.

"No, that's not true!"

Little Niannian quickly denied it, "There's a bad auntie who always scolds me for not having a daddy every time she comes! Will Daddy come tonight?"

Looking at the little guy's expectant face, Xiang Yi felt a pang of sadness.

Her child, so young, is enduring pain that most people cannot comprehend.

They must have had a very hard time over the years.

Xiang Yi felt extremely sad when she thought of herself as a child.

If she could, she truly wished she could bear so much in Xiao Niannian's place.

“Daddy’s been very busy lately. He said he’ll finish up his work at the company soon and then he can play with Niannian.” Xiang Yi forced a smile, trying to make Niannian feel better. “Niannian, don’t be sad. Daddy will definitely come to see you.”

Little Niannian pouted, "But Daddy hasn't come to see Niannian in so long. Every time he calls, he says he's busy with work, either socializing or on business trips... Does Daddy not want to see Niannian anymore?"

The little guy looked so wronged, which broke Xiang Yi's heart.

Xiang Yi gently ruffled his soft hair and chuckled, "Silly boy, how could Daddy not miss Niannian? Daddy brings Niannian gifts every day. Daddy says Niannian is the best girl, and she'll definitely grow tall and become a great hero. So Daddy makes time to come see Niannian every day, is that alright?"

Xiang Yi tried her best to comfort the little one.

The little guy nodded decisively after hearing this, "Great!"

Xiang Yi couldn't help but chuckle, reached out and hugged Niannian, kissing his soft forehead.

Niannian, once Mommy has taken care of everything, I will definitely come to see you. By then, we will no longer be threatened or bullied by these people. Mommy will never let anyone hurt you again, okay?

The little one nestled in Xiang Yi's arms, enjoying the warmth and love his mother gave him.

......

The Ji family's old residence.

Ji Shengting was sitting on the sofa with his brows furrowed, clearly in a very irritable mood.

The butler stood before him, looking anxious. "Sir...you should really go to the hospital. Your stomach problem has flared up again. I've noticed you haven't had much of an appetite lately. Don't you want to go to the hospital to get it checked out?"

The housekeeper noticed that Ji Shengting had become much thinner and more haggard recently, and couldn't help but worry about him.

"I'm not going."

Ji Shengting waved his hand, "Have the maid bring some soup over."

"Yes, sir."

Ji Shengting picked up his phone and dialed a number. "Hello, help me investigate which of our company's artists recently took on this order."

After hanging up the phone, a strong sense of hostility lingered between his brows.

If this order is fake, he will never forgive this audacious woman easily!

In less than five minutes, the servant brought up the food box.

Ji Shengting drank two bowls of soup and felt a little more refreshed, so he got up and went upstairs.

Back in his bedroom, he lay down on the bed.

"Ring ring ring--"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Ji Shengting's indifferent voice rang out.

The door was pushed open, and there stood Wang Kai, Ji Shengting's specially hired assistant.

"President Sheng, the matter you asked us to investigate has been clarified." Wang Kai said, taking a folder out of his pocket.

Ji Shengting took the document, opened it, and read it carefully.

"President Sheng, you personally signed and stamped this contract last night. This is the raw material testing report, which shows that these materials do indeed contain carcinogenic components."

Ji Shengting's eyes were deep and cold, his gaze filled with a chilling intensity.

His fingertips traced the paper as he slowly closed his hand.

"Have you found out anything about that woman?"

His cold voice conveyed a sense of immense danger.

Wang Kai shook his head, "Not yet, but from what I've observed, this woman seems to have recently graduated, and she also has a twin sister named Shen Ruochu."

“Shen Ruochu?” Ji Shengting pondered these three words.
