Chapter 371: 371: Will hurt, will wound......_1

Upon seeing Zhou Luhe’s reaction, Su Hongxing knew her suspicions were correct.

Indeed, Zhou Luhe and Cao Shiyu were targeting the child in her womb.

Caught off guard by Cao Zhen’s sudden decision to adopt her, they hadn’t had time to execute their plan and instead she turned the tables on them.

With this in mind, she turned to Cao Shiyu: “Miss Zhou seems to be gathering her emotions. Let’s do this: Miss Cao, you repeat after me. ‘I, Cao Shiyu, swear that I have never had ill-intentions towards the baby in Su Hongxing’s womb. If I break this oath, may my family be ruined, and may I meet an unfortunate end!'”

Cao Shiyu’s lips moved but she didn’t have the courage to make such a daredevil oath.

It was an indisputable fact that she had harbored ill intentions towards Su Hongxing’s child. She knew the seriousness of making oaths and wasn’t willing to curse herself in such a way.

Everyone present was smart enough to understand Su Hongxing’s attempt to expose Cao Shiyu and Zhou Luhe’s evil intentions.

The fact that Cao Shiyu and Zhou Luhe didn’t dare to swear proved that they genuinely intended to harm the child in Su Hongxing’s womb.

Satisfied with the result, Su Hongxing offered a magnanimous smile: “Okay, okay. Just a small joke, why is everyone’s faces clouded over? Grandfather Ye, I think it’s quite audacious of me to demand an apology from Miss Cao and Miss Zhou. How about this? Let them stay here as maids for a few days to serve me. We can leave the matter at that. Or, we can send them to jail for intentional harm and have them spend a few days there. What do you say?”

Ye Laoye felt guilty towards Su Hongxing; he would agree with anything she proposed.

Upon hearing they might be sent to jail, Cao Shiyu and Zhou Luhe immediately agreed to stay at the villa and work as maids.

Under Liu Qingyin’s supervision, Zhou Luhe, having tended to the wound on her arm, started to clean up.

At first, Liu Qingyin found the situation amusing, but then she lost interest. She approached Su Hongxing, “Sister, why did you keep those two women around? They wanted to harm your child. It’s dangerous to keep them here.”

Su Hongxing’s eyes flashed as she caressed her belly: “They were ruthless when trying to steal my child. Why should I be lenient with them?”

Liu Qingyin stared at Su Hongxing, suddenly feeling that something wasn’t quite right about her.

But she couldn’t quite put her finger on what was amiss.

After searching on the internet, Liu Qingyin realized what was wrong.

Expectant mothers would normally suffer from morning sickness, yet Su Hongxing had awoken that morning without any signs of it. Liu Qingyin remembered that just the day before, Su Hongxing had been violently ill.

If the doctor hadn’t confirmed that the baby was safe, she would doubt whether Su Hongxing had miscarried.

So, there was only one possibility – the sudden disappearance of Su Hongxing’s morning sickness might have been due to psychological reasons.

Su Hongxing wasn’t as strong as she appeared to be. She was still deeply hurt because of Ye Qilan.

Some people vocalize their pain. As for women like Su Hongxing, they silently licked their own wounds and healed themselves in their own ways…

**

Ye Qilan stood at the door of his bedroom, observing Su Hongxing as she sat in the sun on the balcony.

Because Su Hongxing had nearly miscarried due to him yesterday night, he was still apprehensive about facing her.

After hesitating for a few minutes, he gathered courage and showed himself.

As if unaware of his presence, Su Hongxing continued looking at the horizon, lost in thought.

“Su Hongxing, I…” Ye Qilan struggled to form an apology. Seeing that she wasn’t looking at him, he grabbed her hand: “I didn’t mean to do it last night!”
