Mrs. Fu, please be mindful of the appropriate boundaries.

Zhong Wanxiu and Fu Pinghui rushed to Jingshan No. 1. The news outside was everywhere, which was obviously orchestrated by someone with ulterior motives.

Even if the hype is suppressed, the scope of the news that has already been released is predictable.

On the way, the old lady also called Fu Pinghui, "What exactly happened in this news? It says that the Ye family took Qingcheng to have an abortion, but whose child is it?"

The old lady's voice was stern and filled with anger. "What has that brat Jingting done? He won't answer his phone. What's going on between him and Tang Kejia? The rumors are so detailed, and with the wedding just around the corner, he's causing this mess, making us a laughingstock. And you parents, you just ignore it all, letting all sorts of nonsense spread? Letting just anyone throw dirt on the Fu family?"

Fu Pinghui was scolded harshly. He rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. "Mom, Wanxiu and I are on our way to Jingting and the others. What happened to Qingcheng again? I don't know."

The news had just broken, and Fu Pinghui hadn't even received the message yet. As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Wanxiu realized that the old lady's call had come in first, while the assistant's call had been blocked.

Zhong Wanxiu took her phone and called Fu Pinghui's assistant, while Fu Pinghui ended his call with the old lady.

Upon hearing this, the two were puzzled.

These two aren't satisfied with just being chaotic enough, are they trying to outdo each other in making things more chaotic?!

After hanging up the phone, Fu Pinghui's face was grim.

"Qingcheng had a miscarriage before, and it hasn't been that long, how come she's had another one?" Zhong Wanxiu was very puzzled and angry. "These two children aren't young anymore, how can they be so reckless? Don't they take their health seriously? Don't they think miscarriages cause no damage to their bodies?"

Fu Pinghui remained silent. Men tend to think more deeply than women, and these considerations are not merely what they appear to be on the surface.

Zhong Wanxiu muttered to herself, but no one responded, so she couldn't help but overthink. The old lady's question about whose child it was made her think all sorts of things.

Her scalp tingled. "What are they saying? This is all nonsense! How can Qingcheng's unborn child be related to Ye Tinghong?"

"Don't overthink it. Ye Tinghong just returned to the country. Ye Chengnian couldn't handle it anymore, so he sent him back." Fu Pinghui's simple words brought an end to the countless dramas that Zhong Wanxiu had been concocting in her mind.

Zhong Wanxiu finally felt relieved, but couldn't help asking, "What exactly happened to Jingting? Pinxiu agreed to the marriage alliance with the Tang family. Although I didn't really agree, he insisted, so I gave in, and the cooperation with the Tang family has begun."

Why are Jingting and Tang Kejia getting tangled up again? Can't he see what kind of people the Tang family are? Are there no other women in the world who want to get involved with her?!

Bah! No way! He's already married to Qingcheng, so what kind of woman he is has nothing to do with him. Has Fu Jingting lost his mind? He's a legally married man, what kind of behavior is this?

Zhong Wanxiu felt uneasy whenever she thought about Fu Jingting. She said those news reports were just rumors, but the photos were clearly taken.

Tang Kejia went into his room and even changed her clothes when she came out. Anyone would have some thoughts about that.

Even if it were her own son, without knowing anything about it, Zhong Wanxiu wouldn't dare to guarantee that nothing of the sort had happened.

How did Tang Kejia end up in his room by sheer coincidence? And how did she end up wearing his clothes?

This alone is enough to spark endless speculation and generate countless versions of scandalous love stories.

"If I were Qingcheng, I'd be angry too!" Zhong Wanxiu muttered the whole way, her heart aching. "How could she just go and abort the child?!"

Fu Pinghui remained silent. The rumors outside were one thing, and the facts were another. But no matter what, even if it was just hearsay, there had to be some truth to it. It was as if Jingting had done something to cause this situation.

Fu Pinghui and his wife entered the Jingshan No. 1 Villa, where Wang Ma was waiting anxiously outside. Upon seeing Zhong Wanxiu, she hurried over, "Madam, I've made a mistake."

The phone call didn't clarify things; it only mentioned that the two had a fierce argument, but the details weren't clear. Zhong Wanxiu paused, urging Wang Ma to explain.

"There's...there's..." Wang Ma gritted her teeth, "...there's another woman's underwear in the second young master's bag, and then the young mistress..."

Zhong Wanxiu felt a buzzing sound on her scalp; it was exactly what she feared had happened.

Xu Qingcheng was determined to get a divorce and wanted to sever all ties with him completely, leaving no trace of their past.

It is because of expectations that one feels heartache and sadness, and that one resents his scheming against one.

No matter the reason, she couldn't accept it; she couldn't get over that hurdle in her heart. She didn't want to lower herself to the dust and completely lose her self-respect.

The way he treated her meant he didn't like her. Since he didn't like her, she wanted complete freedom.

Whether she's sad or heartbroken, that's her own business and has nothing to do with Fu Jingting.

If they were to meet in the mall, even if he showed no mercy, she wouldn't shed a single tear in front of him. She would still do everything in her power to protect what she wanted to protect, even if she ended up battered and bruised. That was her own business, a decision made by herself, and she would have to pay the price herself.

Besides, she might not necessarily lose, right?

Her heart was bleeding, and she was in so much pain, but she still had to cut away the rotten flesh from her heart. Even though it was excruciating, she wouldn't allow herself to be soft-hearted.

Everyone says she has a hard heart, and yes, she does.

She was so tough that she had to be ruthless with herself in order to keep going.

She can't fall down. Qingyao hasn't come out yet, and her parents still need her. How can she fall down here?

She fell in love with a man who didn't love her.

Tears welled in Xu Qingcheng's eyes. "Fu Jingting, how much do you hate me to humiliate me like this? On one hand, you stubbornly refuse to divorce me and even want to hold a wedding, while on the other hand, you run off to Jincheng to have sex with Tang Kejia, making me the laughingstock of the entire Ancheng. Do you think that Xu Qingcheng's reputation is already ruined, so it doesn't matter? Even if I'm chased and beaten in the street, it's my own fault? Do you really want me to be stuck with the title of Mrs. Fu while you two live freely outside of morality, and then you still mock me?"

Fu Jingting was so angry that he kicked the luggage bag on the ground hard, and the underwear hanging on the side of the bag flew to the floor, mocking him.

He never imagined that one day he would be schemed against like this by a woman.

The man, his face cold, blurted out in anger, "Just because of this piece of junk, you assume I slept with her? I'm pretty picky about Xu Qingcheng too. Is Tang Kejia's face bigger than yours or her breasts? I... fuck!"

Xu Qingcheng's eyes turned red with anger. She grabbed a decorative glass from the bedside table and smashed it directly at his forehead.
