Bab 17: Chapter 17 Betting with the Child_1

"Brother Mingxun, please don't treat Qianxun like this. Let me talk to Qianxun. We are both women and it's best that we discuss some matters openly."

Jiang Xinjie stood up from the sofa, slowly climbing up the stairs leaning on the balustrade.

Her gaze slid over Luo Qianxun's face, feigning ignorance of the tears on Luo Qianxun's cheeks.

Li Mingxun grimly let go of her, stepping back.

Luo Qianxun was always pushing the limits of his patience, and he didn't doubt that he might strangle her to death one of these days.

Luo Qianxun straightened her back, trying her best to appear less disheveled.

She wiped off her tears, glaring fiercely at the steadily approaching Jiang Xinjie.

"Xinjie, your health isn't very well so you shouldn't bother yourself over this."

Li Mingxun drew Luo Qianxun into his arms, "I'll handle this."

"No problem, Brother Mingxun, why don't you step out and let us sisters talk."

Jiang Xinjie gently rubbed her lower abdomen, her pitiful demeanor exhibited, "Qianxun will surely consider our child's best interest and let us be."

Li Mingxun gave Luo Qianxun a grim look, nodded, "Alright, I'll be in the study."

As Li Mingxun turned to stroll into his study, the two women's conflicting gazes met, their hostility palpable.

If looks could kill, Luo Qianxun had already shredded Jiang Xinjie into thousands of pieces.

"Jiang Xinjie, give up, I will not divorce to make way for you."

Luo Qianxun coldly stared at Jiang Xinjie, "Though I don't know what means you've used to ensnare Li Mingxun, let me tell you, as long as I don't sign the divorce papers, I will forever be the legal wife and you, the shameful mistress."

"Really?"

Jiang Xinjie lightly turned up the corner of her lips, then leaned towards Luo Qianxun's ear to boast triumphantly, "The reason I came here today isn't just to get you to sign the divorce papers."

"What do you want to do?"

Luo Qianxun stepped back, guardedly eying Jiang Xinjie.

She'd already fallen for Jiang Xinjie's tricks once.

"What I want to do is..."

Seeing Li Mingxun exit the study, Jiang Xinjie immediately grabbed Luo Qianxun's hand to hold on her belly and cried out, "Qianxun, I know you loathe me for taking your husband. But the child is innocent, you can't treat me like this!"

"What are you trying to do?"

Luo Qianxun, in panic, tried to withdraw her hand, but Jiang Xinjie held it tight, "Let go of me, Jiang Xinjie, what the hell are you planning?"

"Qianxun, I have wronged you. You can hit me or curse me, but just don't hurt my child."

Jiang Xinjie's face was tear-streaked as she dragged Luo Qianxun towards the staircase.

Luo Qianxun recognized the manipulation in Jiang Xinjie's eyes, and unwillingly moved towards the staircase, despite Jiang Xinjie's insistence.

"Luo Qianxun, what are you trying to do?"

Seeing this, Li Mingxun quickly rushed forward.

Suddenly, Jiang Xinjie released her grip, causing herself to tumble down the stairs, shrieking out sharply, "Aah..."

Luo Qianxun was petrified. She hadn't expected Jiang Xinjie to go this far in her act, risking her unborn child to compel a divorce.

"Luo Qianxun, how could you push her!"

In rage, Li Mingxun slapped Luo Qianxun then rushed down the stairs, cradling Jiang Xinjie in his arms, "Hold on, I'll take you to the hospital right away."

"Brother Mingxun, our child…we must save our child…"

There was a growing pool of blood beneath Jiang Xinjie.

Li Mingxun knew the baby was likely beyond saving. He glared at Luo Qianxun, his eyes bloodshot, "You are heartless, I will never forgive you."
