"Jingjing, how are you feeling? Is the baby behaving?"
In the luxuriously decorated bedroom, a woman with a model's figure and beautiful face entered, clicking her high heels.
In the center of the bedroom, on the big bed, Ou Jing is dressed in a postpartum gown and a postpartum hat, holding the baby in one hand, and endlessly teasing the tender-white cheek with the other.
Seeing her come in, she immediately looked up and gave her a smile.
Before she could say anything, the woman bent down and took the child in her arms.
"Little darling, let mama have a look." Looking at the child in her arms, a hint of malice flashed in Liu Xu's eyes.
"Xu Xu, watch your language! You're the godmother, I'm his real mother!" Ou Jing said half-jokingly, half-seriously. She didn't think much of Liu Xu's words.
"No! From this moment on, I'm his real mother, and the only one." Liu Xu, who had been affectionate a moment ago, now seemed like a different person, becoming alien and cold.
"What do you mean by that?" Seeing Liu Xu's prompt change of face, Ou Jing, as if realizing something, immediately rang the alarm bells.
"Give me my child!" She said in a low, mean voice, her actions getting ahead of her brain, getting up to seize the child from Liu Xu.
"Why should I give you my child?" Liu Xu dodged with a smirk.
Moreover, she took advantage of the fact that Ou Jing just gave birth and was physically weak. Without warning, she lifted her foot in its high-heeled shoe and aimed a kick at Ou Jing's lower abdomen.
"Ah!"
Ou Jing squatted on the ground, covering her belly with a distorted face, and a warm flow came out from her lower body.
"Why? Why would you do this to me? Didn't you say we were going to be besties for life?"
Ou Jing gazed painfully at the smug Liu Xu, feeling heartbroken. The pain in her body was nothing compared to the pain in her heart.
First, Liu Xu attempted to steal her child, then mercilessly kicked her in the abdomen...
This was clearly an attempt on her life!
She couldn’t understand why, in an instant, her considerate best friend could turn into a merciless killer.
"Hah! Why? You stole my boyfriend and monopolized him for so long, parading around as Mrs. Xing all these years, and now you dare to ask me why?"
Liu Xu glared ruthily at Ou Jing, the hatred in her eyes seeming as if it would overflow at any moment.
Upon hearing this, Ou Jing was utterly stunned, utterly refusing to believe all of this.
"So you mean, you and Si Qi were in a relationship before?” If Liu Xu’s sudden change of face had caught her off guard, the revelation of their relationship was enough to make her collapse.
"How about that? Surprised? Not only that, but during your pregnancy, we spent almost every day together."
"I'm not afraid to tell you, we were dating for three years before I even knew about you."
"During this time, I was pregnant with his three children." Liu Xu laughed self-mockingly, “It was because his parents did not agree for us to be together, that’s why I had to mercilessly abort all three pregnancies.”
"When I finally, through my own efforts, made them accept me, I discovered that I had permanently lost the qualification to be a mother."
Suddenly putting away her pitiful face, Liu Xu gazed smugly at the ashen-faced Ou Jing, sneering: "Who would have thought that the esteemed overseas-educated doctor like yourself would be so easily deceived?"
"You were utterly taken in by my little bluff, and even more so by Si Qi’s sweet nothings."
"Regardless, I should still thank you."
"Thank you for giving birth to the child between Siqi and me..."
"No! You're talking nonsense, this child is mine!" Even though Ou Jing verbally denied it, her heart already wavered.
The story traces back to the time when she had just married Xing Siqi.
They had just gotten married when Xing Siqi brought up that his senior family members were eager for a grandchild and hoped that she could bring an adorable fat boy into the household as soon as possible.
Originally, she had planned to wait a couple more years to become a mother, but under his incessant coaxing, she finally caved in.
It seemed like they might've been too anxious: months went by and there was still no change in her abdomen.
At Xing Siqi’s suggestion, they went through a thorough inspection at the hospital.
The result was something she could never have dreamed of.
The doctor told her that it was hard for her to get pregnant, and that in-vitro fertilization was the only solution.
This news was like a bolt out of the blue for her.
Luckily, Xing Siqi stood by her through it all and did not blame or banish her.
Now it all appeared to be a disastrous plot!
They must have schemed during her surgery.
Perhaps, there were issues with her previous inspection results as well.
Damn those two deceitful people!
She was so ruthlessly betrayed...
Looking at the pair of eyes that gradually became desperate, Liu Xǔ couldn't help but laugh complacently.
"It seems that you've guessed it. It's better this way, saving me the trouble of explaining."
At this point, Ouyang Jing was sitting on the ground in despair, her eyes filled with hate glaring fiercely at Liu Xǔ, as if wanting to pierce her.
"Why is it me? I have no quarrels nor vengeance with you, so why did you set me up?"
"Do we know each other for so long, have I ever done anything wrong to you?"
"Because of your mistake and losing your job, it was I who got you into my company, and arranged a position for you that others would break their heads for."
"You said your lease was up, and against my family's advice, I let you live in my house."
"And when your brother was involved in a fatal drunk driving accident, it was I who spent both money and efforts to help out..."
"Do you even have a shred of humanity in you? You will definitely be punished!" Ouyang Jing wanted to scream, but the kick from before made her especially weak, even her voice lacked strength.
Liu Xǔ, dismissive, sneered: "Is that so? Just a pity you won't live to see the day!"
Just at this moment...
A tall man in casual wear entered the room.
"Is it not resolved yet?" Xing Siqi frowned impatiently, his gaze filled with disdain when he looked at Ouyang Jing.
"What's the hurry? Letting her die so easily would be too cheap for her."
"Did you see her miserable appearance now? All these are my masterpieces!"
Liu Xu boasted, watching the endless fluid coming out of Ou Jing's body, his eyes full of complacency.
Xing Siqi glanced at Ou Jing with a cold look and said, "Take the child out! It's better to avoid such a bloody scene."
"I'll deal with her and then come to you."
Hearing this, Liu Xu swayed away, holding the child. Before leaving, he didn't forget to look down on Ou Jing with a victorious posture.
Ou Jing, who was already extremely weak due to excessive blood loss, felt like her heart was dropping into an ice hole after hearing Xing Siqi's ruthless words.
"Why? Why are you doing this to me?" Ou Jing looked at the strange man in front of her with a pained expression on her face, her heart aching like it was being twisted.
"Why? Ha!" Xing Siqi sneered, "Don't you understand even now?"
"The only reason I was with you was for your money."
"Otherwise, why do you think I wanted to be with you?"
"Right, to let you die content, I'll tell you a secret."
Xing Siqi squatted in front of her, rudely grabbing her head, and whispered in her ear: "Your parents didn't die in an accident, they were killed by the people I hired! Haha..."
This news was like a bolt from the blue. After a brief spell of shock, Ou Jing clenched her fists and furiously attacked Xing Siqi's head.
"You beast... You are not human..."
Her beatings and curses agitated Xing Siqi, who had a murderous intent towards her.
He had an evil look on his face as he clutched her neck, paying no heed to her struggles, his hands slowly drawing together.
"Let go of me! You're not... human! Let go!"
Ou Jing, on the other hand, was fighting back, slapping those hands that wanted to push her into the Underworld while gasping out a threat.
"Don't worry, I won't give you the chance! As for the Ou Enterprises... no, it should be Xing Enterprises, you don't need to worry about it. I will take good care of it."
"After all, it's what I got in exchange for an unhappy marriage."
"You beast, you won't die a peaceful death! I curse you..." Before Ou Jing could finish her sentence, she stopped breathing forever...
