Fortunately

Chapter 71 Despair
Seeing the bruises on Xia Xiaoqiao's arms, Yan Youwei blurted out: "Did you get beaten?"

"No, no." Xia Xiaoqiao's eyes flickered and her speech was vague, obviously avoiding something.

Yan Youwei recalled what happened before, and a thought popped into his mind: "Is it... your husband beat you?"

It has been a day or two since she had this thought in her mind.As early as that time when she had an argument with Xia Xiaoqiao on the boat, she unexpectedly found that the other party seemed to have a slight injury on his arm.It's just that the situation was special at the time, and she didn't think about it at all.Until Xia Xiaoqiao was kidnapped by Wu Chu and then rescued. When the two met again, Yan Youwei discovered the scars on her body again.

That time we met at the hospital.After Xia Xiaoqiao was released, she was questioned on the phone at the police station, and then the police sent her to the hospital for a physical examination.Yan Youwei was accompanying Zeng Zimu in the hospital at that time, and happened to bump into her.She was wearing a loose hospital gown, and when the doctor took her blood pressure, she rolled up her sleeves, revealing all the injuries on her arm.When Yan Youwei was talking with her, he accidentally saw her neck, and found that there were some scars on the part close to her body.

At that time, she thought Zeng Zhiquan had tied her up and abused her.Later, when she asked Zeng Zimu about this intentionally or unintentionally, Zeng Zimu shook his head and denied: "Impossible. My father has always been polite to women in his life. He might want to kill Xia Xiaoqiao to deal with you, but after killing Xia Xiaoqiao She would never have abused him before. A man with such pride and pride would not allow him to attack a woman just to vent his anger. "

Thinking about it, Zeng Zhiquan really didn't look like the kind of man who would abuse women.He obviously loves women to death, okay?

Yan Youwei, who got this answer, recalled the scene when Nie Kun rushed over when she was talking with Xia Xiaoqiao in the hospital that day.Xia Xiaoqiao, who had been talking softly to her just a moment ago, became emotional when she saw her husband coming, and almost cried out.Yan Youwei thought she was excited, but she just sat there and didn't move forward, her body even shrank towards her unconsciously, it didn't look like an expression of excitement, but more like fear.

These past events didn't feel like anything when they happened alone, but if they were connected together, it would be quite suspicious.In addition, as soon as she saw Xia Xiaoqiao's hand today, the fragments of those doubts rushed out, directly confirming the doubts in her heart.

She thought Xia Xiaoqiao would deny it after asking, after all, it was a family scandal.Unexpectedly, her eyes turned red, and she rushed over to hug her and cry loudly.

Yan Youwei was caught off guard by such a move, she was just asking out of kindness, but unexpectedly, she was caught by the other party, looking like she was about to vomit bitterness.

But thinking about it carefully, Yan Youwei also felt that it was justifiable.Xia Xiaoqiao is currently in the stage of bail pending trial, she must be very fragile psychologically, and she was raped by her husband's family, so the situation can be imagined.Yan Youwei is someone who knows all about her dark history, so she doesn't worry about many debts, and doesn't care about adding another one.

Seeing that Xia Xiaoqiao was so excited, Yan Youwei couldn't get away for a while, thinking that if Mr. Zhuang had any clues, the police would tell Sun Jinyang, so he could only hold back his temper and drag Xia Xiaoqiao to a small cafe outside the hospital, and the two sat down Take your time.

Xia Xiaoqiao was crying like something, her previous arrogance and conceit were gone, and she was completely like a wronged little woman who had been tortured.Seeing her like this, Yan Youwei could only comfort her: "Your husband is probably angry. He is angry that you had a good time with Jianzhong in the past, and he is also angry that you acted on your own and acted recklessly this time, almost costing your life. He also hates Iron doesn’t make steel.”

Xia Xiaoqiao smiled bitterly, shook her head and said, "You don't know him Youwei, you really don't know him. I used to call Ke Jianzhong an asshole, and he dumped me if he played with me. But now comparing him with Nie Kun, Ke Jianzhong really It can be regarded as an infatuated man. It’s just that his infatuation is not for me, but for you. Youwei, do you know that he has always liked you, and he slept with me purely to solve his physical needs. At that time, he took the initiative to approach him, and he would do stupid things only when he was greedy for novelty."

"Don't mention the past, people are gone, and I don't want to think about his bad things again."

The waiter brought coffee and milk.Yan Youwei pushed the milk in front of Xia Xiaoqiao, persuading: "Drink some, it's good for your health. You must take care of your health in this situation, after all, there is still a tough battle to fight."

She was talking about Xia Xiaoqiao's appearance in court.Zeng Zimu analyzed with her that Xia Xiaoqiao has a lot of room for sentencing this time.If it is looser, it will come out in one or two years. Maybe it can be suspended.It depends on how the judge decides and how the lawyer defends.

Xia Xiaoqiao also understood what she meant immediately.Holding the milk cup in both hands, she trembled slightly, looked up at Yan Youwei for a long time, her face full of confusion and embarrassment: "You, Youwei, can you do me a favor?"

"what?"

"Do you know any better lawyers? I asked Nie Kun to help me hire a lawyer, but he didn't want to, saying it was too embarrassing. He also said that he wanted to divorce me. It has nothing to do with me from now on. I don't want to go to jail, that place is very Terrible, I want to find a better lawyer to see if I can..."

"I can help you pay attention to the lawyer's affairs, but what are you going to do after the divorce, will you live alone, or go back to your parents' house?"

"I don't know. After this incident, my dad was very angry and said that he didn't want to care about me anymore. My parents didn't care about me before. I know they only have my brother in their hearts. In the future, they will definitely rely on him for the elderly. When I first married Nie Kun, they thought I had climbed a high branch, and they treated me well for a while. But after a long time, they found that Nie Kun was not as generous as they imagined, and they became indifferent to me again. I don’t care about these things, I Now I want to find a good lawyer to help me fight this lawsuit. Don’t save me the money. I have saved some money in the past few years. As long as the lawyer is really capable, I will pay as much as I want. .As for how to live after the lawsuit, I haven’t figured it out yet, I probably just use the rest of the money to rent a house and find a job to live on my own.”

Seeing Xia Xiaoqiao messed up like this, Yan Youwei couldn't help but sigh.She took a sip of her coffee and wanted to comfort her, but Xia Xiaoqiao said again: "Youwei, you are really nice. You are willing to help me when I hurt you so much in the past. Unlike other people, I obviously haven't hurt you before." They, just because they heard that I might go to jail, one or two ran faster than anything else. Sometimes I think how stupid I am, I hurt you so much back then, and I knew that Jianzhong took pictures of you, but I didn’t stop them , and watched silently with a mentality of watching a good show. I really shouldn't."

Yan Youwei originally only wanted to be a trash can to listen to Xia Xiaoqiao's complaints, but she never expected that her momentary soft-heartedness would lead to such unexpected gains.Does this mean that good people get good rewards?
She immediately caught something in Xia Xiaoqiao's words and asked, "What photo, what did Jianzhong take for me?"

"Don't you know?" Xia Xiaoqiao looked surprised, she didn't seem to be pretending, "I thought Zeng Zimu would tell you. Isn't he angry when he saw those photos, and didn't come to question you?"

"I don't understand what you're talking about. You mean that Jianzhong showed some photos of me to Zeng Zimu? What kind of photos are those, Xiao Qiao, tell me quickly."

"It seems that you really don't know. Zeng Zimu is quite calm. I thought that when a normal man saw a picture of his wife sleeping on the same bed with another man, he would definitely get angry and even beat his wife Well. That happened a few years ago. Didn’t I say that Jianzhong has always liked you, and he has always been unhappy since you married Zeng Zimu. Later, I forgot the exact time, anyway, you were married at that time It’s been a long time, probably in the year when you divorced, it was summer. One day he called me to show off, saying that you will divorce Zeng Zimu soon, and he can pursue you again. I thought he was crazy at the time It was not normal, so I asked him what was going on. He told me that he asked someone to help you unconscious, and took some photos of you for comparison. He showed me the photos later, and they were not naked, just He was wearing suspenders or something, and then he hugged you. He said that he sent the photo to Zeng Zimu, and later called to mock him. I always thought you knew about this, after all, most husbands take Seeing this kind of evidence, he should directly throw his wife in the face and question the other party. Unexpectedly..."

Yan Youwei was too shocked to speak.She didn't know until now what kind of psychopaths surrounded her.None of the things these people did was in her imagination, completely inconsistent with her three views and moral bottom line, it was simply obscene, shameless and shameless.

Fortunately, she always felt that Ke Jianzhong was good to her, and immediately took over her after the divorce, and she didn't mind that Yang Yang was not his child.Only now did she know that this man had been acting all the time, and that her marriage was probably broken up by him. Even if he wasn't the only reason, at least he was the main force.

He put such a big pot of shit on her head, then pretended to be a good man and pretended to be a lover, and finally tricked her into marrying him.If God hadn't opened his eyes to let him have that kind of disease, he would still be living with him now, maybe he would have had an extra child.

Thinking of this, Yan Youwei shuddered, the horror of being calculated by others came to her heart, and she couldn't help shivering.

But she quickly thought of another thing: "But I don't remember being knocked out at all. If he knocked me out and took me to take pictures, how could I not know when I woke up?"

"Jianzhong's photos at the time said they were taken in a hotel. It seemed that he was not in our city, but in other places. He refused to disclose too much at the time, as if there was another person involved. But I could hear from his words that Come on, it seems that someone helped him. At that time, you and your friend went on a trip. Maybe your friend helped him and put medicine in your drink? But you didn’t notice it when you woke up, and thought I just fell asleep. Of course, this is just my speculation, so I can't be sure. By the way, did you go to other places in the year you divorced?"

"Yes, if you calculate that period of time in summer, I have indeed been to other places, and it should be for interviews."

"Then did you meet anyone special? Or did the person in your room have a grudge against you?"

Yan Youwei thought carefully about the few business trips that year, and the people who went out with her were all young girls from the newspaper office, and she couldn't see any serious grudges with her.Of course, I don't have a deep friendship with her.Her mind was in a mess, and those pictures from that year were all overlapping in front of her eyes.

In the midst of this mess, a face slowly became clear, stood out from the blur, and finally zoomed in directly in front of Yan Youwei: "I, I remember once when I went to a foreign place for an interview, I ran into a man in a hotel .”

"Who?"

"It's Han Ning."

Zeng Zimu slept there with his back to Han Ning, too lazy to open his eyes.

He felt that the other party had been looking down at him from a high position, and finally seemed to sigh slightly.Soon she turned around and went out again. The moment the door was closed, Zeng Zimu opened his eyes and frowned tightly.

Why is Han Ning here?Seeing how she came and went freely, Zeng Zimu already guessed something.The man who kidnapped him was an accomplice to her, and he might have to obey her orders.Zeng Zimu had never doubted a woman's vicious heart before, and seeing Han Ning like this today, he was even more convinced of this.

He opened his eyes and thought about it, and Han Ning came back soon, and seemed to bring something with him.She sat lightly on the edge of the bed, and stretched out her hand to touch Zeng Zimu's back.When her fingers touched the hideous wound, Zeng Zimu's muscles tightened, and he said in a deep voice, "Don't touch me!"

"So you're awake." Han Ning smiled, "Did I hurt you?"

"No, please leave."

"Why are you so repulsed by people thousands of miles away? I just took some medicine for you out of good intentions. If you don't treat your wound, it will become inflamed in a large area, and it will be troublesome if you have a fever or something."

"You leave the medicine, let's go."

Han Ning was a little annoyed, and said angrily, "Why are you like this, you treat your old friend's girlfriend coldly, can't you turn your head and face me?"

"Han Ning," Zeng Zimu said, with a bit of forbearance in his voice, "I don't look at you because I don't want myself to hate you. After all, you are the woman Li Ting loved before. For his sake, I You don’t want the two of us to turn against each other, do you understand?”

Because his back was facing Han Ning, Zeng Zimu didn't see the bruises on the hand holding the ointment, nor did he see her trembling lips and gnashing her teeth.

Han Ning suddenly felt that he was right not to turn his head, because now he must be extremely angry, and his appearance is extremely ugly.

For a long time there had been a buildup of anger in her heart.When did this fire germinate, even she herself couldn't tell.Was it when Zeng Zimu took Yan Youwei and her child to find Li Mo, or that night on the Hera, when two women who were also drunk, he chose to take Yan Youwei away and leave her with his assistant.Or maybe during the period after their marriage, Yan Youwei was treated courteously when she attended a certain banquet under the halo of Mrs. Zeng, but as a guest performer, she just made those guests who thought they were noble sigh "just an actress".

Or earlier, dating back to the university days, she was a goddess-level figure that everyone loved, and Zeng Zimu was a well-deserved school girl.When others put the two of them together intentionally or unintentionally, she found that Zeng Zimu had no one else in his eyes except Yan Youwei.They talked and joked naturally, and ate together in the cafeteria. Zeng Zimu would always ask Yan Youwei to buy water for him after playing golf. If Yan Youwei was not around sometimes, he would rather go by himself than pick up water from other girls.What's more, he can go out to buy biscuits for her for a few hours, just because she said she wanted to eat them.He will also carefully sort out the review materials of various subjects in their department, and force her to go to the library to do the questions.

The more she saw these scenes, the deeper the resentment accumulated in her heart.She also thought of various ways, and she thought it was clever to sing against Zeng Zimu in school.Because it's always done like this in idol dramas, the more outstanding a man is, the less he wants women to flatter him, because he has been used to being flattered since he was a child.If you go up and say good things, it's just one more fan for him. At best, this fan is a little prettier than others, and it can get him a few more eyes at the beginning.

Men would not linger for such a woman, even Zeng Zimu was no exception.Didn't you see that the closer Yan Youwei got to Ke Jianzhong, the more Zeng Zimu couldn't let her go?So Han Ning took a completely different approach from most girls who fell in love with Zeng Zimu in college.She tried her best to argue with Zeng Zimu to get his attention.She felt that every time she stabbed him, he would remember her more.

Facts have proved that her method is correct, Zeng Zimu did remember her, but he still doesn't love her.In his heart, she was just a woman who could not coexist peacefully with him, that's all.

She spent several years, but she couldn't replace Yan Youwei's position in Zeng Zimu's heart.She became more and more familiar with him, knew more and more about this man, and also knew more and more how good he is and a man worth having.But such a man does not belong to her, even after Yan Youwei dumped him several times, he still did not change his mind.

During the three years of their divorce, Han Ning took advantage of Song Liting's relationship to "seduce" Zeng Zimu several times.But he never saw those glances and couldn't understand those hints. He was always polite to her, taking care of her and helping her for Song Liting's sake, but it was impossible to fall in love with her.

Sometimes when Han Ning was alone with him, he even wanted to yell at him: "Idiot, the person I love is you, not Song Liting. That guy is just a springboard for me, a tool I use to get close to you. You are so Do smart people really not understand?"

Maybe Zeng Zimu understood, but he was pretending to be confused on purpose.

He has been pretending this way for so many years, from his college days to now over [-], Han Ning looked back after walking for a while, only to realize that his best years were actually tied to this man.If you love someone again, you will be in despair if you don't get a response for a long time. Han Ning finally came to the brink of collapse in this day-to-day despair.

Zeng Zimu seemed to sense her emotions, and persuaded in a soft tone: "You go, you just gave birth not long ago, you should go back and be with the child. If you are not here, who will breastfeed the child, leave me alone."

It's okay not to mention the child, but Han Ning is even angrier when he mentions the child.Why did she become what she is today!In order to get close to Zeng Zimu, she devoted herself to Song Liting, who was far inferior to him. After accidentally conceiving a child, she wanted to abolish it, but because of Song Liting's sudden death, she was forced to give birth to his flesh and blood.What she wanted to hide was suddenly exposed. Although the reporter who caused her to give birth prematurely was knocked out of her job, she couldn't keep her pregnancy after all.

When various TV and paper media rushed to interview her, the Song family hid with their children, but pushed her to the forefront.Everyone is asking who the father of the child is, and there are constant voices of questioning and slander.Some fans accused her of hiding the fact that everyone was pregnant, and some suspected that the child was actually the illegitimate child of a certain big shot.Competitors even took the opportunity to splash dirty water, fish in troubled waters and tarnish her reputation.

Because of the impact of this incident, there were some problems with the endorsement contract she originally signed.Some manufacturers took this as a threat, and those who had already signed took the opportunity to offer to renew the contract at a low price, and those who were negotiating simply took the opportunity to lower her price.She lost too much for this child, even if the Song family gave her more money, it would not be able to make up for it.And she couldn't say who the father of the child was.Now that the child is born, although she has the money, the power of the Song family is still shrouded around her.If she dared to talk nonsense, it would be a matter of minutes before the Song family ruined her career.

When there was no child in her belly, she became an abandoned child in the eyes of the Song family.All the consequences can only be borne by her alone.If she is obedient and obedient, she will be able to live comfortably, but if she dares to talk nonsense, her end will be miserable.

But no matter how much money she has, she can't recover her loss of reputation.Now she suddenly regretted that she had promised to have a baby.But thinking about it carefully, she actually had no other choice.If she didn't have this bargaining chip after killing the child, it would be even easier for the Song family to kill her.

Han Ning found that he had walked into a dead end and couldn't get out.In the final analysis, all of this is Zeng Zimu's fault.She gave up almost everything she had for a man, but he still ignored her here, which really made Han Ning unable to swallow this breath.

She stood up abruptly, and said angrily, "Zeng Zimu, don't pretend to be ignorant, get up for me."

Zeng Zimu ignored her and continued to sleep with his eyes closed.But he forgot the fact that Han Ning is also a woman. It is amazing for a woman, especially a bitter woman, to make a fuss.Zeng Zimu endured it for a while and felt that it was far better than the physical torture, so he could only endure the pain all over his body and sat up from the bed, leaning against the head of the bed and looking coldly at the nervous Han Ning.

Han Ning, the glamorous goddess sought after by thousands of movie fans, will look like this one day.

"I'm up, you can talk if you have something to say."

Han Ning was venting his emotions emotionally there, when he suddenly heard Zeng Zimu's body, he froze for a moment, and immediately reacted.She is worthy of being a movie queen. She was hysterical one second, and leaned over tenderly the next second: "Zimu, I'm doing it for your own good. You can't fight him head-on. A person like him will do everything Come to think of it, you will suffer a loss if you fight with him."

"I'm already at a loss now. I don't care about eating more."

"That's different. He doesn't intend to kill you now, he wants to keep you to torture you slowly. But you have to know, when he thinks that torturing you has become a boring thing, he will treat you I want to kill my heart."

"Who is he?"

Han Ning was evasive, and silently turned his head to the side, not daring to look into Zeng Zimu's eyes: "I can't say this, but I can tell him that he is a pervert, he is mentally abnormal, this kind of person can do everything Come out. Don't think I'm scaring you, he's killed people before, you know that?"

Zeng Zimu didn't change his expression: "Who did he kill, an enemy?"

"No. It's fine if he only kills his enemies. The point is that that person helped him, but he still killed them. You know that a few years ago, a little model named Chen Lishan went to Youwei Was it? At that time, a man named Jin Nianquan pretended to be you and slept with her and made her belly bigger. She went to Youwei to ask for money. That Jin Nianquan was a puppet controlled by him. After he finished using him, he killed him .”

The information in this passage was completely beyond Zeng Zimu's expectations, and it can be regarded as the most useful information he has obtained so far.But he didn't stop there, he looked at Han Ning, and after a while he showed a mocking smile: "Since he is so scary, why are you still here, are you not afraid that he will kill you too?"
