"What do you want, hmph, pay back hatred with hatred, repay resentment with resentment. You know what you've done!"
The one speaking was Zhang Hou, glaring at Shao Lin like a beast, wanting to tear her apart.
He had learned all the truth. Thinking of all the grievances Su Ding had suffered, he couldn't help but rush forward and slap her.
"Slap!"
Shao Lin's face instantly swelled, blood trickling from her lips.
She clutched her face and fell to the ground, unable to get up. The pain was immense, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
This man must have been sent by Su Ding.
It must be that bitch!
She would not admit defeat, even if she had given birth to an illegitimate child, she would not surrender.
With her own schemes, she was sure she could sleep with Jin Ye, seduce him, and even get Aunt Jin to help her!
"You... you let Su Ding out, come out!"
Shao Lin screamed desperately.
Zhang Hou furrowed his brows, his anger escalating. He was about to strike again but was held back by someone beside him. "Killing her will ruin things."
Zhang Hou thought of something, spat out a breath, and pulled out a cigarette.
Shao Lin watched the two grim-faced men, who no longer hit her. The entire house fell silent, and she began to feel increasingly fearful.
She hoped Aunt Jin would discover her disappearance soon.
As long as Aunt Jin intervened, Su Ding would surely be defeated; Su Ding could never beat her!
Shao Lin thought this as she wept in pain.
It hurt, it really hurt.
Warm liquid was flowing from between her legs, and the pain made it almost impossible to move. Her ears were also ringing...
Time dragged on, a torturous ordeal.
Shao Lin was on the verge of fainting from the pain when there was a knock on the door of the rental apartment.
Zhang Hou's ears perked up. He hurried over and opened the door.
Outside, Su Ding entered with a young man.
"She's inside," Zhang Hou said.
"Thank you for your trouble."
Su Ding spoke as she walked into the room.
Zhang Hou noticed that Su Ding's expression was colder than ever, with even a hint of killing intent hidden in her eyes. He was no stranger to this feeling.
His heart skipped a beat. Was Miss Su Ding going to deal with this woman tonight?
Given Shao Lin's actions, if it were him, Zhang Hou would have crippled her long ago, never giving her another chance to cause trouble.
But the problem now was that Miss Su Ding wasn't involved in anything shady.
Mr. Ouyang Kai had also specifically instructed him to be mindful of the boundaries, to help Su Ding but also to do so appropriately.
It wasn't that the consequences couldn't be handled, but rather that he didn't want Su Ding to get involved in anything dirty.
'If Miss Su Ding insists, what should I do?'
Zhang Hou thought to himself. He sighed. If it truly came to that, he would have to handle it himself.
Zhang Hou followed them into the room.
As Su Ding entered, her eyes immediately fell on Shao Lin on the ground.
A pool of blood had already spread beneath Shao Lin. Her hospital gown was soaked, and she lay on the floor, initially motionless.
But upon hearing the voices, she slowly lifted her head. On her swollen face, expressions of terror and panic appeared.
However, they were quickly replaced by anger.
"It really is you, you bitch. You'd better let me go. Aunt Jin won't let you off!"
Shao Lin's roars seemed to drift past Su Ding like air.
Su Ding looked at her coldly. After Shao Lin had finished her tirade and exhausted all her energy, Su Ding said lightly, "Let me introduce him, Jin Yao."
The young man behind Su Ding slowly stepped forward.
He looked at Shao Lin on the ground, his brow furrowed slightly, a hint of pity flashing in his eyes, but it quickly turned to indifference.
"I am Jin Yao, your child's biological father."
After Jin Yao spoke, Shao Lin's face changed dramatically. She looked up at him in disbelief and then let out a pained scream.
"You, it was you!!!"
Shao Lin's eyes widened, and she glared at Jin Yao with hatred, "You ruined me! You ruined me!!!"
She tried to push herself up but had no strength.
She could only watch as the instigator stood there so casually, as if nothing had happened, observing her pathetic state.
She hated him so much, so much!
Shao Lin dug her fingers into the ground, her hands covered in blood, oblivious to the pain.
It was all this man's fault!
She had always thought that the man that night was Jin Ye, which was why she had been so forward. When she became pregnant, she was overjoyed beyond measure. She had pursued Jin Ye for so many years and finally got what she wanted. She had even endured so much imprisonment for this child.
During her captivity, it was this child that kept her going.
But she never expected that this child wasn't Jin Ye's.
Everything was a lie.
The suffering and torment she had endured felt like a joke.
She had also been like a fool!
Played by Su Ding like a puppet!
This wasn't how it was supposed to be! Her plan was so perfect! She was supposed to be the young madam of the Jin family!!
Why!
Why was fate so cruel to her!
"I won't let you go, I won't let you both go, ah!!"
Shao Lin cried and screamed and roared madly.
Even though she had learned the truth a few days prior, facing the arrogance of this man and Su Ding, she couldn't control herself.
She remembered the fear of being imprisoned, the tearing pain of childbirth.
It turned out it was all their design.
How cruel their hearts were.
Looking at the frenzied Shao Lin, Su Ding only sneered. She clenched her fists tightly, and the hatred suppressed in her heart finally found an outlet.
But it wasn't enough.
"You've done so much evil. Retribution may be delayed, but it will come!"
"Today is the day to settle all accounts."
Su Ding hooked her lips coldly and looked down at Shao Lin.
Like a superior, she interrogated coldly, "Why did you kidnap me that day? What exactly did you do to me?"
