Chapter 425: 425: Killed His Own Child, Why Should He Raise Someone Else's Child_1

Ye Qilan’s heart ached.

As Su Hongxing explained, he speculated that the miscarriage wasn’t as simple as it appeared. But he dared not ask, too afraid to probe for details.

Could he maintain a semblance of peace by feigning ignorance?

He knew all too well — had he not pressured her so relentlessly, had he not repeatedly betrayed her, would Su Hongxing have been capable of such cruelty towards her own child?

If he was the instigator that forced Su Hongxing into a corner, then undoubtedly, Mo Qiu was his accomplice.

Mo Qiu’s insistence on adopting Su Hongxing’s child had inevitably become the straw that broke her.

Even if Su Hongxing had hesitations, she had no choice but to kill the unborn child herself.

Ye Qilan, his heart aching, said in a low voice, “Su Hongxing, listen to me, let the past be past. You love children, we can adopt in the future, how many you want…”

“I don’t like children at all, I’ve killed my own child, why should I raise someone else’s?” Su Hongxing murmured to herself, staring blankly at her own hands.

Ye Qilan knew that her mental state was worrisome. He tried to discreetly approach her, intending to lead her away from this dangerous place.

However, Su Hongxing sharply noticed his closeness and cried out in panic, “What are you trying to do?!”

“Qingyin hasn’t been seen all day, don’t you miss her? How about I take you to her, would that be alright?” Ye Qilan coaxed softly.

He sought to distract Su Hongxing, intending to seize the opportunity to take her away from the dangerous Red Building.

Just then, upon hearing news, Liu Qingyin rushed to the rooftop, overhearing Ye Qilan’s words.

She devised a plan on the spot, pretends to trip, and fell to the ground.

“What’s wrong with you? You can’t even walk properly at your age and you’re giving your sister more things to worry about.” Ye Qilan chastised under his breath.

Liu Qingyin looked at Su Hongxing, crying out in pain, “Don’t touch my foot, it hurts so much, maybe I broke a bone, is my foot broken?”

Hearing that Liu Qingyin broke her leg, Su Hongxing instantly forgot about her standoff with Ye Qilan, rushing to Liu Qingyin’s side.

Ye Qilan seized the chance to catch Su Hongxing’s hand, his heart finally calming down.

Liu Qingyin stopped pretending, got up from the ground, and together with Ye Qilan, they led Su Hongxing down from the Red Building.

Ye Qilan felt ill omens from the Red Building, he ordered Age to seal off the Red Building and planned to level the building later.

Su Hongxing kept looking at Liu Qingyin’s foot: “Doesn’t your foot hurt?”

Liu Qingyin flexed her foot and replied with a candid laugh: “Sis, I am fine. Don’t worry about me.”

The one with problems was Su Hongxing.

She would have to call Cao Zhen and inform him that Su Hongxing’s health wasn’t promising.

Upon receiving the call, Cao Zhen immediately rushed over from the city government office building.

If Liu Qingyin hadn’t told him, he wouldn’t have known about the great blow Su Hongxing had suffered. He had been too complacent.

When Cao Zhen arrived, he found Su Hongxing chatting with Liu Qingyin, looking normal, just like anyone else.

“Sis, Uncle Cao is here.” Liu Qingyin, noticing Cao Zhen first, quickly got up to greet him.

Cao Zhen sat next to Su Hongxing, speaking to Liu Qingyin: “Qingyin, I would like to speak privately with Su.”

Upon hearing these words, Liu Qingyin smiled: “I’ll go now.”

She called out to Ye Qilan who was standing not afar: “Let’s go.”

Ye Qilan didn’t want to leave, as he knew Cao Zhen was wily. He wasn’t sure if Cao Zhen would try to whisk Su Hongxing away.
