Chapter 435: After revision: Chapter 447 What Does He Take Her For, A Prisoner?
Back then, when Leng Yixiu proposed breaking up with her, her pride prevented her from clinging on. To forget Leng Yixiu, she left A University, gave up the opportunity to pursue graduate studies, and moved alone to T City. By chance, she stepped into the entertainment industry.
At that time, she was just starting out, naive and unaware of the hidden rules and nasty tricks of the industry. She disdainfully rejected the idea of using these hidden rules to stand out.
Her aloofness caused many rich playboys to retreat, and she also offended quite a few powerful people, among them Zheng Hao.
At a dinner party that night, the moment she heard Zheng Hao would be there, she told her manager she didn’t want to go. Her manager assured her it would just be a simple dinner and nothing would happen.
Cheng Ying thought, with other people present, including her manager, Zheng Hao wouldn’t dare to force himself on her in front of everyone, so she agreed, thinking she just needed to be cautious at the dinner.
But she was too naive at that time. If someone truly wants to set you up, no matter how careful you are, you’ll still fall into the trap. Zheng Hao drugged her drink, and unfortunately, she became pregnant with his child from that incident.
She hated Zheng Hao, and she loathed the child as well. She wanted to abort the baby, but the doctor told her that her uterine wall was too thin and that a forced abortion could be life-threatening. So she had to endure the pain and keep the child.
Having broken up with Leng Yixiu not long ago, her parents assumed the child was his and wanted to seek an explanation from him. She stopped them and kept the matter suppressed.
Carrying the child of a scumbag was already a huge blow to her, and at that time, she found out from TV news that Leng Yixiu had married Lin Yixun. Their wedding was grand, and at the ceremony, that wretched woman Lin Yixun smiled like an angel, while she could only hide in a dark, windowless basement, suffering both physically and emotionally.
Leng Yixiu’s marriage to Lin Yixun was a devastating blow to Cheng Ying. From that moment on, she became increasingly neurotic, sometimes lucid, sometimes mad.
She gave birth to the child in a state of half madness and half clarity, and after the baby was born, she never looked at it. She hated Zheng Hao, and she hated the child even more.
But later, one day, the child suddenly fell ill. When the baby took its last breath in her arms, her heart broke. She regretted it; she should have treated him well, she should have treated him well...
The child’s death was like a thorn stabbing her heart deeply. From that day on, she had nightmares every night, hearing the child’s shrill cries. Her condition worsened, and at its worst, she had to be hospitalized.
It was during this time that her parents reached out to Leng Yixiu. They always believed the child was his and thought her madness was his fault. She went along with this assumption, using it to her advantage.
She dared not tell Leng Yixiu the truth, nor did she want him to see her at her worst.
In hindsight, her choice was right. Leng Yixiu arranged for her to be admitted to Shengde Hospital and got the best psychiatric care for her. It seemed that they went back to the way they were in university. Leng Yixiu visited her every day, and step by step, she recovered until her condition was under control.
She had been gone for a year and was a new person. A year was long enough to almost make her disappear from memory, but she wanted to rise again. With Leng Yixiu supporting her and her beauty and efforts, she quickly thrived in the entertainment industry, becoming the most dazzling new star in just a year.
Then, she saw the result she most desired: Lin Yixun’s father was sent to prison by Leng Yixiu without mercy, and Lin Yixun was left with only a divorce agreement, expelled from A City by Leng Yixiu.
However, this result didn’t completely satisfy her. Leng Yixiu only divorced Lin Yixun, preventing her from staying in A City, but she wanted the one who caused her life’s tragedy to suffer a fate worse than death.
Therefore, she used her connections in T City, asking for a small favor from a playboy infatuated with her, ensuring that Lin Yixun couldn’t find a decent job.
Initially, if it weren’t for Lin Yixun, she wouldn’t have broken up with Leng Yixiu. If she hadn’t broken up with Leng Yixiu, she wouldn’t have left A University to struggle in the entertainment industry, and none of the subsequent events would have happened.
Since it was Lin Yixun who pushed her into the abyss, she would make her taste that pain. Later, she received news from T City about Lin Yixun, who was constantly facing obstacles and urgently needed money, ultimately being forced to go to Nightshade.
Nightshade? What kind of place is that?
If Lin Yixun stepped into such a place, it would be hard for her to leave unscathed. She wanted to see Lin Yixun fall step by step. Wasn’t she the mayor’s daughter? Arrogant and untouchable? Well, she wanted to see her being used and discarded by countless men!
She wanted to return the humiliation and pain she endured a thousand, ten thousand times over!
Memories were like smoke to Cheng Ying, and every time she thought of them, her heart ached deeply.
Suddenly, she laughed out loud, her laughter growing louder, almost maniacal. Lin Yixun was pregnant, wasn’t she? She wanted to see how long the seed in her belly would survive in this world!
...
Recently, Lin Yixun found herself increasingly sleepy, her early pregnancy symptoms becoming more severe. Every morning, her stomach felt unbearably uncomfortable. At first, she didn’t think much of it, but gradually, unease grew in her heart.
Though she had taken contraceptive measures before, the effectiveness of the drug wasn’t guaranteed every time. What if she had encountered counterfeit products?
Thinking about this, Lin Yixun felt even more uneasy. The anxiety consumed her, making her unable to sit still.
Finally, Lin Yixun couldn’t remain seated any longer. She got up from the sofa, but as soon as she reached the door, several bodyguards followed her. Seeing this, anger flared up within her. "Don’t follow me."
"Sorry, sir’s orders were to follow you wherever you go to ensure your safety."
"Ensure my safety?" Lin Yixun sneered. "He’s treating me like a prisoner, isn’t he? Go tell him I’m perfectly safe and don’t need protection."
"Miss Lin, please don’t make it difficult for us." The bodyguards insisted on following Lin Yixun.
"Am I making it difficult for you, or are you making it difficult for me? What does Leng Yixiu take me for, a prisoner?"
