Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 127 Conspiracy (2)

Yan Zuozuo was taken aback, looking at her with some shock. He Xinrui gave a self-deprecating laugh, her eyes filled with sadness. For a moment, she didn't know what to say, so she pursed her lips and waited for He Xinrui to speak.

He Xinrui's gaze fell on the children playing on the lawn not far away. She looked completely blank, as if she had lost her mind. After a long while, she came back to her senses and said in a low voice, "I broke up with Qi Jiahui."

Yan Zuozuo raised an eyebrow, knowing it was going to be this topic again. She really had no interest in it, so she shrugged and said, "You've already said that before."

"Yes, I did say that, but I definitely didn't tell you that he dumped me. After he swindled the shares of Fan Hua Design from my father, he immediately broke up with me. When I disagreed, he hit me until I agreed."

Yan Zuozuo was shocked and stared at He Xinrui in disbelief. She never expected that Qi Jiahui would commit domestic violence.

He Xinrui turned to look at her, and laughed self-deprecatingly, "I thought you would be gloating, but I didn't expect you to feel nothing at all. Do I look like a clown in your heart? The things you disdain to have, I want but can't have."

Yan Zuozuo shook her head, her expression calm, and said, "That's your business, it has nothing to do with me. I've said it before, I'm already married and have no interest in other people's relationships. From the moment I broke up with Qi Jiahui, I completely gave up on him, and if it's not necessary, I even think it's best not to see him again. I've experienced the heartbreak of being the one being cheated on, so I'm even less likely to interfere in other people's relationships." She said meaningfully.

He Xinrui chuckled, naturally understanding her meaning. "At first, I really didn't know he had a girlfriend. I met him when I was having dinner with my uncle. You might not believe it, but I really fell in love with him at first sight. Later, we got together. He was very good to me, and I fell deeply in love. That's when I found out he had a girlfriend."

Yan Zuozuo's expression remained unchanged. When He Xinrui mentioned the past, she felt as if it were a thing of her past life. She listened to He Xinrui speak while stroking her lower abdomen.

“I’ve always been a very self-important person. So what if he had a girlfriend? He’d break up with her for me sooner or later anyway, so I never bothered to find out who his girlfriend was. In the end, my guess was right. He really did break up with her for me and treated me better and better. I felt very satisfied.”

He Xinrui seemed lost in memories, a sweet smile appearing on her lips, which quickly vanished. "It wasn't until I met you and sensed something unusual between you that I went to ask my uncle and found out about your relationship."

Recalling her previous mockery and provocations towards Yan Zuozuo, it now felt like a sharp blade, fiercely piercing her heart. She was in ten thousand times more pain than Yan Zuozuo.

She shook her head and smiled bitterly: "I always thought it was you who couldn't let go of him, and that's what he told me too. Then I found out later that it was he who couldn't let go of you. He was with me only for the sake of Fan Hua Design, only to avoid working hard for twenty years. In his eyes, I was just a pawn, used and discarded. This is probably retribution. I interfered in your relationship, and this is how I ended up."

Yan Zuozuo remained silent, her gaze drifting into the distance. She had once harbored deep feelings for Qi Jiahui, and it was impossible for her not to feel hatred after being abandoned by him. It was a perfect example of the saying, "The deeper the love, the deeper the hate." The man she had so steadfastly believed in for life had betrayed their relationship, plunging her into utter despair.

However, the person who stole her boyfriend turned out to be her half-sister. On the very day she excitedly recognized her father, she was warned not to ruin her sister's relationship with her ex-boyfriend. She was truly devastated at that moment, which is why she grabbed Chi Moqing's hand and proposed to him.

It has to be said, she was lucky. By a twist of fate, she met Chi Moqing, a man deeply in love with her. Any resentment or hatred she had before melted away with his love. Holding his hand was the happiest thing in her life; she was actually glad she had been abandoned by Qi Jiahui.

Perhaps, just as Chi Moqing once said, the long wait and the most painful hurt are all for the sake of meeting, and the happiness that has been tested is the most precious. Yan Zuozuo stroked her lower abdomen, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips, so peaceful and content.

“You know, I stubbornly believed that as long as I had everything, Qi Jiahui would never leave me. The He family’s wealth and my youth were my assets. But I was wrong. These things were indeed very attractive to him, but he was also greedy and ruthless enough. Once he got them, he would kick me out without hesitation, without a trace of regret.” He Xinrui laughed self-deprecatingly.

Yan Zuozuo didn't speak, she just quietly looked at her.

He Xinrui's smile grew wider and wider, and the hatred in her eyes became more and more obvious. Her whole face was distorted. "Don't you think I'm stupid? Even after all this, I still can't remove my wounded heart from him. I love him, more than anyone else, but he doesn't love me. There will never be a place for me in his heart."

Yan Zuozuo pursed her lips, feeling a pang of sympathy for He Xinrui. Qi Jiahui was only with her for her background and family connections; once he got what he wanted, their relationship would come to an end.

This outcome wasn't unexpected, but what shocked her was Qi Jiahui's shamelessness—he actually hit a woman just to break up with her. She never knew he could be so despicable, so utterly despicable.

Yan Zuozuo looked at her and couldn't help but ask, "Are you alright?"

He Xinrui was already in tears, but she managed a weak smile. "It's not so bad. The more heartless he is, the less chance he gives me to regret it. Maybe I'll give up when I'm tired and weary."

Yan Zuozuo didn't know what to say, she just felt sorry for her.

He Xinrui wiped away her tears and stared at her intently. "Don't pity me. I don't have any relatives left. I just need someone to talk to." Yan Zuozuo didn't speak, but then she heard her continue, "Actually, I still hate you, not because of Qi Jiahui, but because you have the ability but refused to help Dad."

Yan Zuozuo stiffened, somewhat surprised that she would bring up that matter. She glanced at her indifferently, "I have no obligation to save someone who has nothing to do with me. Even if I do, he deserves to be punished for the mistakes he made."

“But he is also your father, blood is thicker than water!” He Xinrui became somewhat emotional when she mentioned He Cangyuan.

Yan Zuozuo looked at her: "My father, whose blood is thicker than water, abandoned his wife and daughter for his future. He was worried that his wife would ruin his career, so he did not hesitate to spread rumors and cause trouble, almost killing her. As a result, another woman lost her life. Give me a reason to save him."

She spoke casually, yet He Xinrui was speechless, her gaze towards Yan Zuozuo filled with complex emotions.

Yan Zuozuo sneered: "I didn't kick him when he was down. Exposing his despicable deeds back then was my last act of filial piety. Neither he nor anyone else has the right to criticize me, much less ask me to save him. He deserves to be in this state today!"

He Xinrui bit her lip, speechless, choked by Yan Zuozuo's words. She only knew about the relationship between Yan Zuozuo and He Cangyuan when He Cangyuan, having reached a dead end, revealed it to her in a drunken stupor. Her mother had even fought with He Cangyuan over it and eventually ran away from home. Not long after, He Cangyuan was arrested, and her mother was heartbroken again.

He Xinrui didn't know who to blame for her family's current predicament, but she secretly resented Yan Zuozuo for having the ability to save her father instead of helping him, which ultimately allowed Qi Jiahui to succeed in his scheme, taking away the shares of Fan Hua Design and leaving her with nothing, forcing her to leave her hometown.

Perhaps her resentment was somewhat unreasonable, but if she didn't hate someone so much, the pent-up frustration in her heart would crush her. She wanted to leave this place that made her sad, and her meeting with Yan Zuozuo today was to make a final stand.

Her gaze was unfocused as she looked into the distance. As the sky gradually darkened, she turned her head and said, "I've said what I wanted to say. Perhaps my hatred for you was irrational, but from now on, we owe each other nothing." As she spoke, a strange smile appeared on her face.

Yan Zuozuo felt something was off, and a strange unease spread throughout her body. She stood up to leave, but He Xinrui suddenly grabbed her arm. "Where do you think you're going? I told you we need to settle things once and for all."

Yan Zuozuo finally realized something was wrong. She clutched her stomach in terror, "What do you want to do? Let me go!"

"I told you, I hate you! You ruined my family, you ruined everything I had. Let's settle this today, and we'll have nothing to do with each other anymore!" He Xinrui's face was contorted and twisted with rage. Yan Zuozuo was terrified and struggled incessantly. The baby in her womb seemed to sense her unease, its tiny hands and feet kicking and thrashing about, which made her feel a sharp pain in her abdomen.

"He Xinrui, are you crazy? Let me go!" Yan Zuozuo shouted.

“I’m not the crazy one, I’m just passing by.” She suddenly laughed, her eyes fixed on a certain spot in the park.

Yan Zuozuo was terrified, clutching her stomach tightly. Following her gaze, she saw Cai Qingqing slowly approaching them, her expression somewhat frightening and sinister. She walked closer to Yan Zuozuo, looking at her with a half-smile, "What a coincidence, to run into you here."

He Xinrui didn't know when she had let go of her. Yan Zuozuo backed away repeatedly, covering her stomach with her hands.

Cai Qingqing glanced at her movements and sneered, "So afraid to see me? Why are you backing away? We haven't seen each other in a long time, can't we chat?" She approached step by step, making Yan Zuozuo feel uneasy. She swallowed hard and said nervously, "W-what do you want?"

"What do you think I want to do?" Cai Qingqing smiled sinisterly and said, "I was just passing by and saw Mrs. Chi, so I came over to say hello."

Yan Zuozuo bit her lip and clutched her stomach tightly, saying, "I don't know you well, there's no need for me to greet you."

"How could that be? We've both shared a man, we should know each other very well. Why don't we find a place to sit down and have a good chat?" Cai Qingqing's face held a sinister smile, and Yan Zuozuo's heart pounded. This side of Cai Qingqing terrified her; she had a feeling that something unsettling was about to happen.

"I have nothing to talk to you about, I'm leaving now." With that, she turned and ran.

As soon as Cai Qingqing saw her prey trying to escape, she immediately chased after it, grabbing Yan Zuozuo's arm with great force and pulling her towards the road.

Yan Zuozuo cried out in pain as Cai Qingqing gripped her, "Cai Qingqing, what are you doing? Let go of me!"

However, Cai Qingqing not only did not let go of her, but held on even tighter. She smiled strangely and said through gritted teeth, "If you want to know what I'm going to do so badly, then come with me obediently. Otherwise, I can't guarantee whether you and the child in your belly will survive."

Yan Zuozuo was startled!
