After a long while, he slowly withdrew his gaze and then lit another cigarette for himself.

Wisps of white smoke rose in the dim light, blurring his face but also highlighting his deep and unfathomable appearance.

The phone was answered, and Li Songze's voice was deep and cold: "Keep an eye on Huang Minqiu. I want her to join the Kyoto headquarters within a week."

Meanwhile, Huang Minqiu hurried back into the house, her mind a jumbled mess, unable to make sense of anything.

Chen Meiyuan is pregnant!

This news weighed heavily on her heart like a boulder...

What should she do?

Inside the house, Li Minsheng and Uncle Zhou began to bid farewell to the guests.

Li Songze's childhood friends brought their families tonight, so they didn't make any plans for entertainment.

Li Songze didn't come back; he must have left on his own.

That man is so heartless.

Huang Minqiu used breastfeeding as an excuse to stay in her room and did not go out to see him off.

She sat on the edge of the bed, gazing at the dark night outside the window, and finally, tears welled up in her eyes.

She hated her own powerlessness, her inability to change the situation;

She hated Li Songze's cold-heartedness and inhumanity;

But she hated even more the subservience she felt in the relationship.

She tried so hard to please that man, but she never received any real respect or appreciation.

"Ling'er..., Mom will never let anyone threaten you, even if it costs me my life." Huang Minqiu bit her lower lip tightly.

She knew that her resistance would be futile against Li Songze. But even so, she was extremely unwilling to give in.

But Huang Minqiu never expected that Sudi's efficiency would be so high.

Just two days after her unpleasant encounter with Li Songze that night, Su Di appeared in Jiangyue Bay.

Looking at the contracts and apartment keys on the coffee table, and listening to Sudi's formulaic yet highly seductive words, everything happened so suddenly that her mind was instantly in chaos, as if a thousand thoughts were intertwined and tangled within it.

“Ms. Huang, this is the work contract for the column producer in Kyoto, with an annual salary of 20 million; and an additional large apartment in the city center, worth 100 million, which the president is gifting you; in addition, the president has prepared a trust fund for the child, with 1 million paid out every month to cover his living, education, and medical expenses. Also, I will arrange two drivers and a nanny to accompany you and the child.”

Huang Minqiu took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and then looked coldly at Su Di, saying, "Assistant Su, do you think these things will make me obediently listen and abandon everything to go to Kyoto? What exactly is Li Songze planning? Does he want to use these material things to buy off my and my child's lives and make us stay away from his world?"

“Ms. Huang, the president is doing this for your and your child’s own good.” Su Di remained expressionless, her voice calm. “This job opportunity is coveted by countless people in the industry, and Ms. Huang should know this better than I do. Moreover, these generous benefits will ensure you and your child live a comfortable life, so why let your momentary emotions get the better of you?”

"Ha, for my own good?" Huang Minqiu sneered, a bitter feeling rising in her chest. "He just wants to send me far away so he can be with Liu Sisi without any restraint, right? Does he think I care about these material things? What a child needs is a complete family, real love, not these cold, hard cash and houses."

Sudi frowned slightly, seemingly somewhat helpless at Huang Minqiu's lack of appreciation.

“Ms. Huang, the president is determined to make this happen. If you refuse, things will likely become even more complicated. Besides, you have to think about your child’s future. With these guarantees, your child can receive the best education and have the best living conditions.”

Having dealt with Sudi extensively, Huang Minqiu naturally understood that what he said made sense.

It's simply a matter of preserving one's life while remaining healthy; those who understand the times are the heroes.

But the thought of Li Songze's cold-blooded ruthlessness in discarding her like that caused her immense pain.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Assistant Su, go back and tell Li Songze that I won't compromise so easily! This is not what I want."

Seeing Huang Minqiu's resolute attitude, Su Di didn't try to persuade her further, but simply pretended to silently put away the contract and keys. "Alright then, Ms. Huang, I will convey your message truthfully. However, the president's decision isn't easily changed, and besides..."

He glanced towards the bedroom, shook his head, and a faint, ambiguous sneer appeared on his lips: "Sigh, you know, as long as the CEO says the word, there are plenty of girls willing to bear him children, like moths to a flame..."

Huang Minqiu sat blankly on the sofa, Su Di's words like heavy hammer blows striking her heart again and again.

To carry on the family line!

Like moths drawn to a flame!

These two words kept swirling in her mind, adding a touch of bitterness and anger to her already painful and conflicted heart.

She turned to look in the direction of Ling'er's bedroom, her heart filled with guilt and heartache.

Her Ling'er is still so young, and because of these complicated and cruel entanglements between adults, her life may be completely changed.

Sudi was right; once Li Songze made up his mind...

No, he was determined from the start!

Therefore, there will definitely be a lot of trouble later on.

If she rejects this seemingly generous offer, what will happen to her next?

Will this put her and Ling'er in trouble?

Watching Sudi slowly walk towards the door, Huang Minqiu was filled with confusion and fear.

She felt as if she were in a dark abyss, unable to find a way out or see any hope.

"Assistant Su—"

Sudi clenched the contract in her hand tightly, and before turning away, a barely perceptible smile appeared on her lips.

"Can you tell me about Chen Meiyuan?"

"Oh? Miss Huang knows her?" Su Di was slightly taken aback, as if she hadn't expected her to mention such a person.

Huang Minqiu pursed her lips and nodded.

She took a deep breath, her eyes fixed intently on Sudi, not missing a single subtle expression on his face. "I heard she's pregnant too."

also!

Sudi couldn't help but curse under her breath: This thing called infatuation is really annoying.

Look at Huang Minqiu and Chen Meiyuan, what's wrong with them? They won't give up until they hit a brick wall.

He curled the corners of his mouth, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. "Yes, Miss Chen is seven months pregnant. After she gives birth, the president will be responsible for supporting her child."

That makes sense, doesn't it? It was Li Songze who caused the trouble; Su Di was just there to clean up their mess.

"Then... what about her?"

Sudi sighed and put the things she was holding back on the coffee table.

He glanced up at Huang Minqiu, his gaze indifferent.

After a moment, she slowly spoke, "She is the mastermind behind the murder of Miss Liu! Naturally, she will lose everything and have nothing left."

After saying that, Sudi stopped talking.

He just watched silently as Huang Minqiu's face gradually turned pale.

He was quite pleased with her reaction, her expression one of disbelief and even disbelief.
