Hong Kong Nights of Passion

Chapter 100 Prince Chi, can I join you?

Jiang Xiao's reaction surprised Wen Jinian; it seems he really is looking forward to having a grandson.

Even Jiang Shu had previously suspected that the child's biological father was someone else, but Jiang Xiao remained steadfast in her belief.

Jiang Shu's reaction was exactly what Wen Jinian expected.

Deep down, Wen Jinian hoped that Jiang Shu would be happy, after all, they had grown up together since childhood.

Qin Xianglian leaned back on the stool and sneered, "Young Master Jiang, your fiancée is about to miscarry, and you're still busy doing a paternity test? It was clearly your sister who caused this trouble, and you're just going to let it go so easily?"

Jiang Shu turned around, her tone indifferent, "Who do you think you are? It's none of your business to meddle in my family's affairs."

Qin Xianglian's expression was quite interesting, showing her anger.

The operating room door opened, and Zhou Shiyi was slowly wheeled out.

Her face was deathly pale, and upon seeing Jiang Shu, she immediately burst into tears: "Brother Jiang, our child is gone..."

Jiang Shu didn't rush to comfort her, but stared straight into her eyes: "Look at me, and tell me the truth, did Nian Nian really push you?"

Zhou Shiyi felt a chill in her heart. Her hands, hidden under the white sheet, clenched tightly. She sobbed and turned her face away, saying, "It's my fault... I shouldn't have stopped Niannian. That's why it happened so easily..."

"Even when lying, you should prepare a draft!"

Jiang Shu suddenly sneered, her eyes full of mockery, "I just told you this morning that you're going to have a paternity test tomorrow, and now you're going to have an abortion? You really think that's the end of it? Even if the baby is gone, we can still do the test now!"

Zhou Shiyi lowered her eyes and clenched the blanket around her lower abdomen. Her voice was sorrowful, and large tears fell down her cheeks. "Niannian, I know you hate me, but the child is innocent."

Ha, those words are practically a condemnation of her.

Fu Yiyi took a step forward, pointed at Zhou Shiyi's nose, and shouted angrily: "You're talking nonsense! Which eye saw Nian Nian push you? You clearly slipped and fell on your own!"

"How could I joke about a child?"

Zhou Shiyi clutched her stomach and shrank back, her eyes red-rimmed. "That's Brother Jiang's child in my belly, how could I bear to part with it? But you, you've always been in cahoots with Niannian, who knows what kind of bad intentions you're plotting!"

Wen Jinnian pulled back Fu Yiyi, who was about to lose her temper, and then turned to look at Jiang Shu.

Her eyes crinkled into a smile, but her voice held an unwavering firmness: "Brother, do you believe me?"

Jiang Shu's gaze shifted back and forth between the two, and he slowly nodded.

Wen Jinnian's smile widened as she turned to Zhou Shiyi: "Sister-in-law, Heaven is watching what people do. I admit, I did hate you before."

"You all heard it! She admitted it herself!"

Zhou Shiyi suddenly screamed and glanced around triumphantly, but her smile froze when she met the complicated looks in everyone's eyes.

"But I'm doing very well now, and I won't let you scheme against me like before. I saw through you when you deliberately brought Miss Qin to the store."

"You, you're talking nonsense! What scheme?" Zhou Shiyi's expression changed drastically, and she reached out to grab Jiang Shu's hand, but he dodged her.

"Brother Jiang, I really didn't."

She panicked.

"It was clearly Nian Nian who pushed me! She's just jealous that I stole you from her!"

Zhou Shiyi forced herself to sit up.

"Shut up!" Jiang Shu warned her coldly.

What happened back then gave her the opportunity to harm Niannian. Jiang Shu regrets it deeply. If it weren't for his selfishness at the time, Niannian wouldn't have drifted further and further away from him.

Zhou Shiyi suddenly threw her head back and laughed, tears streaming down her distorted face: "What's the use of yelling at me? The store's security cameras can't even see this side! I'm calling the police right now and telling them she deliberately caused my miscarriage! Murderer, I'll make her go to jail."

Wen Jinnian recalled the events that occurred in the store, which happened to be a blind spot for the surveillance cameras.

Zhou Shiyi did it on purpose.

She clenched her fists.

"Niannian, what should we do?" Fu Yiyi asked worriedly.

Whispers rose and fell all around.

"Could it really have been this girl who did it?"

"She looks so gentle and weak, I never expected her to be so ruthless. She even preys on pregnant women to steal a man..."

Wen Jinian lowered her eyes to conceal the turbulent emotions within them, offering no explanation. Because while Zhou Shiyi and Jiang Shu were struggling, she received a message.

"Zhou Shiyi, you're fucking vicious!"

Fu Yiyi cursed under her breath.

She never expected that the woman had already called the police the moment Zhou Shiyi was wheeled into the operating room.

"Who called the police?" The officer scanned the crowd.

Zhou Shiyi raised her hand, her face deathly pale. "It was her! She deliberately pushed me, causing me to lose my baby! She must go to jail!"

The officer turned to Wen Jinnian and asked, "Is what she said true?"

"I do not have."

Wen Jinnian stood up straight and spoke with a firm voice.

The officer hesitated for a moment, then closed his notebook: "We'll review the store's security footage. Please come with me to the police station for now..."

"no need."

A familiar voice sounded.

Wen Jinnian turned her head.

Chi Yige had his hands in his pockets, with Li Mingyi following behind him, who was holding a tablet.

Jiang Shu was surprised; why was he here?

Li Mingyi handed the equipment forward, and the screen was playing a loop of footage of Zhou Shiyi pretending to fall, clearly showing even her deliberate tiptoeing before staggering.

The crowd instantly exploded.

"Damn it! They really used a miscarriage to frame someone? If it weren't for this video, how much blame would that girl have to take!"

Using one's own child as a bargaining chip? That's more poisonous than arsenic!

Whispers reached her ears, and Zhou Shiyi's face turned pale and then flushed. Suddenly, she screamed and pointed at Li Mingyi: "You guys conspired together! This video must be AI-generated! Technology is so advanced these days..."

"Whether it's a forgery or not, the police will take it in for testing and we'll know."

Li Mingyi took out a USB drive and handed it to the police officer, a mocking look in his eyes. "It's quite a coincidence. I came across a live stream by a shopping mall blogger today. That guy took a liking to the person in question and recorded the whole thing to get views, which just happened to become irrefutable evidence."

Wen Jinnian looked at Chi Yige with a puzzled expression.

The latter silently uttered three words: "Are you alright?"

She lowered her eyes and smiled softly, shaking her head gently at him.

After the police officers completed their supplementary questioning, Wen Jinnian was exempted from going to the police station to give a statement because Chi Yige vouched for her.

Zhou Shiyi was physically weak due to the miscarriage, so the police allowed her to wait for the investigation results at the hospital.

Jiang Shu only made one phone call to the Zhou family before leaving the ward without looking back, not even glancing at Zhou Shiyi.

In the corridor, Wen Jinnian leaned against the wall and smiled at Chi Yige: "Dr. Chi, your skills in lying have improved."

The man raised an eyebrow, his fingertips casually tracing the wrinkles in his cuff: "When did I lie? Everything was said by Mingyi."

Good heavens! I was just doing this for you, young master!

Li Mingyi had a bitter face.

Wen Jinnian's eyes curved slightly: "So, we should give Brother Li a raise?"

"Double," Chi Yige said calmly.

"Thank you, Miss Wen! Thank you, young master!" Li Mingyi's face immediately lit up with joy.

Fu Yiyi quickly spoke up, in her standard ingratiating tone, "Brother! I cheered Nian Nian on the whole time, doesn't that count as a credit?"

"You get one."

Chi Yige glanced at his watch and looked at Wen Jinnian's hand rubbing her stomach. "Want to go get something to eat?"

"Crown Prince Chi, could I join you?"
