Breakup and still want to be beautiful on your own? A crazy tycoon seduces and climbs to the top.

A transparent glass water cup flew over.

An Ying dodged to the side.

bang——

The water glass smashed to pieces on the wall.

The nurse rushed in to check: "What happened? What's wrong?"

Seeing the shards of glass scattered on the floor, the nurse stared wide-eyed, her face full of confusion.

An Ying patted the water droplets that had splashed onto her clothes and calmly said, "It's okay, someone just accidentally touched it."

The nurse shook her head and went out of the ward to find the cleaning lady.

An Ying stood at the door of the ward, glanced back at An Xiaoxiao lying on the hospital bed, and then at Xu Mei and An Weiping.

She raised her chin, her eyes bright and determined, a faint smile playing on her lips.

"Let's see who has the last laugh."

After saying that, An Ying turned and left.

The ward was silent.

After a long pause, An Weiping said angrily, "An Xiaoxiao, I think you're incredibly audacious to impersonate Lu Qiyao's child. Do you think we can afford to offend the Lu family? Luckily, the Lu family only broke off the engagement and didn't make a big fuss, otherwise you would have been in big trouble! Also, whose child is this bastard in your belly?"

An Xiaoxiao turned her face away and replied lazily, "I don't know."

An Weiping glared angrily, "You, you....."

Xu Mei frowned: "Alright, alright, Xiaoxiao is still sick, why are you yelling! If you're so tough, go yell at your ungrateful daughter!"

An Weiping said impatiently, "What did I yell at! It's all your fault. You've spoiled Xiaoxiao rotten since she was little, and she's caused such a huge mess."

An Weiping plopped down in a chair, crossed his arms, and huffed, "She's not even my biological daughter! If I'd known she was completely useless and just a burden to us every day, always going against us, I should have thrown her back to the orphanage a long time ago!"

An Xiaoxiao suddenly turned her head and stared at her father: "Dad, what did you say?"

Xu Mei was also surprised.

She remembered something and slapped An Weiping on the shoulder.

"You son of a bitch, you made me the other woman back then, and you insisted on marrying that slut. In the end, the child isn't even yours. Are you crazy?!"

An Weiping hissed in pain: "Do you think I wanted this? Cao Ming insisted on adopting him back then, what could I do!"

An Weiping wanted to make some further explanation, but he narrowed his eyes and had to hold back his words, unwilling to bring up the matter from back then any further.

An Xiaoxiao tentatively asked, "Then... should we still transfer the five million to her?"

An Weiping gritted his teeth: "Turn."

Xu Mei was displeased: "Why should I give it to a bastard I picked up from an orphanage!"

An Weiping pointed to the stack of prenatal checkup reports and said unhappily, "Why do you think that is? If you two had been doing well and hadn't made a fuss, would she have been able to hold such a big handle against you?"

An Xiaoxiao and Xu Mei fell silent.

"When Lu Qiyao broke off the engagement, he must have secretly known that there was a problem with the child. You two insisted on making a scene at Lu's company, making it known to everyone. Lu Qiyao's mother then presented evidence that your paternity test was fake, and only then did you two slink away."

"Now you insist on going to the bar to ambush An Ying, trying to frame her, but instead An Ying has found solid evidence against you. Not only is your personal dentistry report fake, but your prenatal checkup report is also fake. You...you..."

"What am I supposed to say about you! If word gets out about your reputation, which wealthy family would dare to hire you!"

An Xiaoxiao clenched her fists, feeling a tightness in her chest.

An Weiping continued, "It's only five million. Let's use that to quell the situation first, but..."

A few seconds later, he added:

"She'll throw it all up sooner or later!"

------

One week later, in the company conference room.

An Ying was in a meeting when a notification message popped up on her phone screen.

"Five million yuan has been deposited into your account."

Looking at the many zeros after the account balance, An Ying smiled knowingly.

An Xiaoxiao did not appear again during this period.

Lu Qiyao seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Su Jixun did mention it once, saying that Lu Qiyao went abroad for medical treatment. When asked what illness An Ying had, Su Jixun shook his head, only knowing that Lu Qiyao left in a hurry, saying that he would return to China after a while.

An Ying lowered her head and rubbed her temples.

Things are unpredictable.

Just a few months ago, Lu Qiyao and An Xiaoxiao were happily holding their engagement banquet, receiving blessings from others for a long and happy marriage.

An Ying ran off and caused a huge scene.

At the engagement banquet, they looked down on An Ying with disdain, regarding her as an ant that they could trample on at will.

Now, he has put aside his company and career to seek medical treatment in a distant place.

One woman lost her child, her dream of marrying into a wealthy family shattered, and she hid away, afraid of losing face.

An Ying still felt nauseous when she thought of An Xiaoxiao's aggressive face.

Do not live by sin.

End of the meeting.

Lai Yuqiang left An Ying alone.

Lai Yuqiang suddenly spoke up: "How have you been lately? You looked very tired just now."

Recalling the last time at the bar, she pretended to be intimate with Fu Chengli, her body curving into an S-shape as much as possible.

It seems like some kind of snake demon has become a spirit.

An Ying sighed silently to herself.

This guy is a real handful.

What's more troublesome is that An Ying treats her as a comrade-in-arms and boss who works alongside her.

She regarded An Ying as an imaginary rival in her emotions.

An Ying politely replied casually:

"It's alright, thank you for your concern, Director Lai."

Lai Yuqiang smiled and said, "I've been very busy lately and haven't had a proper chat with you."

An Ying raised an eyebrow.

What to talk about?

We already discussed work-related matters during the meeting.

Outside of work, she and her friend had even less to talk about.

Lai Yuqiang said slowly, "There's a charity gala in a couple of days. Many social elites from Beicheng will be attending. I'd like you to come with me."

An Ying was slightly taken aback.

This explanation was unexpected for An Ying.

Lai Yuqiang was not at all surprised by An Ying's hesitation.

She picked up the water glass on the table, took a sip, and continued, "Actually, the person who was truly invited to this dinner party is President Fu."

An Ying glanced up and swept her gaze across the room.

Lai Yuqiang's red lips moved slightly, her voice softening: "President Fu took me there last year, but..."

"It's a pity that Mr. Fu can't go this year, but he gave me the ticket to this charity gala."

"The person with the invitation can bring one person, and you immediately came to mind."

Lai Yuqiang smiled broadly.

An Yingxin understood.

Why would Lai Yu-Chiang be so kind as to take her along on this opportunity to shine, letting others take the spotlight and attention?

She found it strange.

It turns out she was deliberately showing off that she had once attended a public event as Fu Chengli's female companion.

You can also get an admission ticket to Fu Chengli.

She spoke softly, but her boastfulness was palpable between the lines.

An Ying smiled, her eyes devoid of any emotion.

"Thank you for the invitation, Director Lai, but I've been incredibly busy with the QS project lately and I'm quite tired. I can't attend this kind of event, so you should find someone else."

Lai Yuqiang feigned doubt: "Oh? Are you sure?"
