Out of control and sinking

Li Xin was already startled, and now she was caught off guard by Rong Cheng's scolding. Her aggrieved eyes instantly reddened, and she said through tears, "Why are you being so fierce? What does this have to do with me? She broke the vase, and I made her pay for it. She was so pathetic that she vomited blood and fainted. What do you mean I caused trouble again?"

"Rongcheng, I'm carrying your child, and this is how you treat me?"

Rong Cheng listened, feeling extremely agitated.

Since Li Xin became pregnant, he was quite patient with her at first, but Li Xin was a woman who was used to taking advantage of others and liked to make all sorts of unreasonable demands.

Over time, Rongcheng only felt annoyed with her.

He turned to Sister Zhang and said, "Call an ambulance quickly and get the person to the hospital first, lest someone die."

Sister Zhang replied, "Yes."

Then I quickly called the nanny.

I also asked the security guard at the entrance to help carry the person onto the stretcher.

Soon, the ambulance arrived and took the person away.

The nanny was cleaning up the debris on the floor.

Rong Cheng's anger subsided a bit. He looked at Li Xin, who was holding her stomach and fuming, and was about to come over and coax her.

Unexpectedly, Li Xin turned around and went straight upstairs.

She has quite a temper.

Rong Cheng's work day was already pretty rough. Recently, the higher-ups have been cracking down on inspections, and on top of that, he'd been doing some shady things, so he couldn't help but be on edge.

I've been on edge at work all day. I'm terrified of being found out about something.

Rongcheng was very unhappy that he had to put up with her temper when he got back.

His initial intention to coax her vanished instantly, and he turned and left the villa immediately.

Li Xin sat at the dressing table in the bedroom for a long time, her eyes red and brimming with tears, but she just wouldn't let them fall.

She was waiting, waiting for Rongcheng to come up and coax her.

She's pregnant.

Relying on the child, Li Xin was convinced that Rong Cheng wouldn't come over to coax her.

But this time she was truly disappointed.

More than ten minutes passed.

There was no sound at the door, let alone Rong Cheng coming in.

Li Xin frowned, got up and went outside.

Just then, Sister Zhang came over, and Li Xin anxiously asked her, "Where's Rongcheng?"

Afraid of upsetting her, Sister Zhang stammered, "I saw Mr. [Sir's name] drive away just now; perhaps something happened at work."

Hearing this, Li Xin could only sneer: "Work? He hasn't been back for three days. He just came back for less than ten minutes and left again. What work could possibly make him not even come home now?"

"I'm afraid he's having an affair, and he's so smitten that he's forgotten about me and the kids."

Aunt Zhang coaxed, "Madam, please don't think like that. With you by his side, how could he..."

“Of course it is!” Li Xin interrupted her: “Men are all like that. They don’t cherish what they have, and they stop loving it when the novelty wears off. Besides, the grass is always greener on the other side.”

Li Xin grew angrier the more she thought about it. She bit her lip, turned around, went straight back to her room, and picked up her phone to call her assistant in the office.

Li Xin spent a lot of money on this assistant so that she could keep an eye on Rong Cheng and report any news to her at any time.

It turned out that Rong Cheng hadn't returned to his workplace at all.

Instead, he went to a bar for drinks with several company executives.

After asking for the exact location of the bar, Li Xin hung up the phone.

Holding her phone, Li Xin's face was extremely pale.

She was right.

Saying they're busy with work is just a fucking excuse.

Going to a bar?
Li Xin's eyes were filled with anger. She called Sister Zhang to drive, changed her clothes, and went straight there.

DX Bar.

Rongcheng and a few of his buddies had booked a VIP room, and they were clinking glasses and drinking, the atmosphere was just right.

One of them joked, "Brother Rong, you're really lucky. Not only did you marry such a young and beautiful wife, but now you've had a child late in life. It's a double blessing!"

"Come on, brother, let me toast you."

Rong Cheng snorted in a bad mood, "What do you mean by double happiness? I've just found myself a troublemaker. There's never a moment of peace."

"Harmful."

"You can't say that. After all, your sister-in-law is young. Besides, you wouldn't be interested in an old woman. A young and pretty girl is much more desirable."

"Alright, Rong-ge, it's not easy for us brothers to get together and have some fun, let's not think about those unhappy things."

"The point of going out to play is to relax. We can deal with family matters when we get home. The most important thing when we go out to play is to have fun."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone clapped their hands.

The door opened, and four or five young girls, dressed in either innocent or alluring styles and revealing outfits, walked in.

Rong Cheng was taken aback: "What's this?"

"How can you drink without women to keep you company?" the man laughed. "Come on, brothers, choose one each. It's on me today, so don't be shy."

Rong Cheng wanted to refuse.

But his brother was being too polite, and besides, his mistress was away on a business trip, and Li Xin was pregnant. With so many things to do every day, he didn't want to get involved.

Rong Cheng's hormone levels have indeed been quite high lately.

After being persuaded, I finally chose to sit next to a girl who looked innocent.

Rong Cheng was a decent gentleman; he drank the wine the girl offered him and didn't do anything inappropriate.

In contrast, the others immediately put their arms around him, teasing and joking, making quite a scene.

Even worse, he took the girl out after only a few drinks.

They said they were going to buy some food, but what they were really going to do is obvious to everyone here, we're all adults.

Rong Cheng looked at it and felt his throat go dry.

As the alcohol took effect, his face flushed. Just as he was about to reach for his drink, a soft voice came from beside him: "Sir, would you like some tea?"

"I think you've had a bit too much to drink. Drinking so much is bad for your health."

Rong Cheng turned his head and saw the girl beside him looking at him obediently, holding a cup of tea in her hand, speaking with concern.

She is very beautiful and has a pure, innocent look.

She looks a bit like Li Xin before she was pregnant.

After becoming pregnant, Li Xin gained weight, her figure wasn't as good as before, and her face became rounder instead of sharper.

Rong Cheng said, "Thank you."

In the end, he put down the wine glass in his hand.

He accepted the tea from the girl. She was very proper, unlike those scheming women in drinking parties who would deliberately rub their fingers or collar against him to create an ambiguous atmosphere.

Rongcheng sipped the tea; it had a sweet, refreshing taste, like fruit tea.

His stomach and spleen felt much better immediately, and he casually asked her, "How old are you?"

"twenty."

Rong Cheng frowned: "So young? Why are you working in a place like this?"

"It's not really a job, it's a part-time job. I have no choice but to earn tuition fees, and this place pays more."

“I can only earn three or four thousand a month working part-time outside, but I can earn more than ten thousand here. The money I earn from part-time work is enough for my tuition and living expenses.”

Rong Cheng was somewhat surprised by her frankness upon hearing this. He glanced at her again and said, "However, this kind of place is not a good place. People's thoughts will change after seeing too much."

The girl smiled nonchalantly: "Perhaps."

"Have you gone out with anyone?" Rong Cheng put down his teacup, took out a lighter, and lit a cigarette.

Smoke swirled around his face.

Rong Cheng was a bit chubby, with a round face and several double chins.

It can be about clothing, accessories, expensive watches, and manner of speaking.

They all instantly give the impression of being wealthy.

Moreover, they are not nouveau riche, but wealthy people with substance.

The girl was a little embarrassed when asked this question, and she said with a flushed face, "No."

She whispered, "Sir, I only drink with you, I don't sleep with you."

Rong Cheng smiled: "Is that so?"

He pointed over there: "Look at your best friends, they're not like that at all."

The girl turned her head, then quickly turned back, blushing. She bit her lip and looked at Rong Cheng with a pitiful expression. Her voice was sweet and soft: "I believe that you are different from them, sir."

"Oh?" Rong Cheng asked, "Why? We're all men, what makes you think I'd be different from them?"

“Intuition,” the girl took a deep breath. “My intuition tells me that you are a gentleman.”

gentleman?
Hearing this, Rongcheng was amused.

His suppressed emotions, which had been building up for several days, were finally relieved. He flicked his cigarette ash and chuckled, "You're quite an interesting girl."

He smoked a cigarette, watching her place her hands folded neatly on her lap.

Rong Cheng narrowed his eyes, tossed the cigarette into the ashtray, and then said to her, "Give me your hand."

The girl exclaimed "Ah!"

Rong Cheng: "Give me your hand."

The girl eventually reached out her hand.

Her hands are beautiful, white and tender, full of youthful collagen.

Rong Cheng looked at her, then slowly took off the jade ring from her thumb and slipped it directly onto her index finger.

His ring was too big and looked out of place on her hand.

But the colors are still very pretty.

Imperial green, paired with snow-white skin.

Perfect match.

“I bought this ring eight years ago. It was worth two million at the time. It’s yours now,” Rong Cheng said.

The girl's eyes widened instantly, startled.

“It’s so expensive.”

"No, I can't accept that."

The girl was so startled that she tried to take it off, but Rong Cheng held her hand and looked at her intently, saying, "Don't take it off. I said I'd give it to you, and I meant it. It's just a ring, don't worry about it."

"But this ring is too valuable." The girl said nervously, "Sir, I really can't accept it."

Two million eight years ago, how much would that be now?

I've heard that jadeite appreciates in value, so wouldn't it double in price?
Four or five million—the girl wouldn't even dare to dream of it.

Not to mention it's on her wrist right now.

"Don't make me angry." Rong Cheng's expression suddenly changed. "There's no reason to take back what's given away. You can just keep it, girl."

“Sell it, it’s enough for you to live comfortably for the next few years, so don’t come to a place like this and ruin yourself.”

He said earnestly.

Every word he said showed his concern for her.

Upon hearing these words, the girl's eyes instantly welled up with tears. Her nose tingled, and she sobbed, "Thank you, sir. You're such a kind person."

Although he is not handsome.

They are quite old.

But suddenly she felt the same way about her father when she saw him.

Rong Cheng let go of her hand, raised his hand to pat her shoulder, and laughed, "Why are you crying, silly girl?"

"It's just a ring, is it really worth crying over?"

"Look further ahead. If you want it, there will be things that are even more valuable than this."

"Oh right, I haven't asked you your name yet?"

The girl wiped away her tears and said, "My name is Fang Yiyi, Yi as in 'dependence'."

Rong Cheng praised, "Yiyi, what a lovely name."

What year are you in?

Fang Yiyi: "Junior year."

What job do you plan to do after graduation?

Fang Yiyi: "I want to work in a public institution, but I'm not particularly outstanding in my studies, so I don't know if I have a chance."

Rong Cheng said, "A public institution?"

"It's okay, I can help you."

Fang Yiyi stared wide-eyed in shock: "You can help me? That's a public institution, how can you help me?"

Rong Cheng said mysteriously, "You'll find out when the time comes."

Fang Yiyi was thrilled; she had just encountered some big shot!

She excitedly raised a glass of wine: "Sir, I'd like to toast you."

"You shouldn't drink alcohol anymore. You drank so much earlier. Why don't you have some tea instead?"

Rong Cheng laughed angrily: "You, a little girl, drink alcohol while I drink tea? That's not fair."

"Isn't this bullying you?"

As he spoke, Rong Cheng poured himself a glass of wine.

Then they picked up their glasses, their eyes met, and their glasses clinked together.

That moment seemed to strike Fang Yiyi's heart.

Just then, the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open.

Everyone turned to look.

Fang Yiyi and Rong Cheng were no exception.

But when Rong Cheng saw that the person who came was Li Xin, his expression immediately turned ugly.

When Li Xin saw that every man in the private room was sitting next to a young and beautiful girl, her anger flared up even more.

Even more surprisingly, the two in the corner started kissing.

There was a girl sitting next to Rong Cheng.

Upon seeing her, Rong Cheng put down his wine glass, stood up, and frowned: "Why are you here?"

Li Xin sneered, "What, did you come here to interrupt your good time? Did you delay your date with your mistress?"

Rong Cheng was a big shot in Beijing, and he was always fawned over.

Unable to bear being publicly humiliated, his face darkened instantly: "What nonsense are you talking about? You're pregnant, go back right now."

"I'm lying?" Li Xin's eyes reddened with grievance, her hand on her stomach. "You still know I'm pregnant? I'm suffering at home, unable to eat or sleep, and you, on the other hand, are out there having a good time. Rong Cheng, do you even have me in your heart anymore?"

Someone nearby explained, "Sister-in-law, you've misunderstood. We just invited Brother Rong out for drinks. As for the others, they're just there to keep you company. Please don't overthink it."

Li Xin retorted without hesitation: "Shut up!"

Li Xin turned her head, about to say something, when she saw the jade ring on the hand of the young and beautiful girl next to Rong Cheng.

Li Xin's pupils suddenly contracted, her anger flaring up, and she rushed over to grab Fang Yiyi's hand.

"what is this?"

"Oh, so you gave her your ring? And you still say there's nothing between you two."

"Rong Cheng, you shameless bastard!"

While cursing, Li Xin's hands were also busy. If she couldn't beat Rong Cheng, could she not beat that bitch?

Looking at the tall, slender girl in front of her, dressed in a pure and sweet style, Li Xin raised her hand and slapped her hard across the face.

"Bitch!"

"Ah!" Fang Yiyi cried out in pain.

She covered her face with her hands; her cheeks were burning.

Fang Yiyi burst into tears, her face streaked with tears, looking at Rong Cheng with a pitiful expression.

Rong Cheng was heartbroken and, in a fit of impulse, pushed Li Xin away and then helped Fang Yiyi up, asking with concern, "Girl, how are you?"

Fang Yiyi wiped away her tears, her voice trembling with sobs, "I'm fine."

"Sir, you need to explain to your wife that our relationship isn't what she thinks."

Even at a time like this, they've already been beaten.

She still cares about him so much.

So kind.

As Rong Cheng felt this way, he became increasingly impatient with Li Xin.

He snapped, "Have you made enough of a scene?"
