Chapter 19 The Bitter Truth
My best friend later told me Zhou Linchen had no choice but to take Zhou Qingyan away.
He settled her in one of his properties.
Nine months later.
Zhou Qingyan gave birth to a boy.
But the child had dark skin and curly hair—clearly not Zhou Linchen's.
Zhou Linchen suffered another blow.
They said in the hospital room he nearly strangled her on the spot.
It turned out Zhou Qingyan had other men abroad over the years.
Even the night before returning, she spent it with a black man.
She didn't dare stay and fled with the money.
The Zhou family sent the child to an orphanage.
The next time Zhou Linchen saw me.
I stood at a new product launch.
My belly was visibly rounded.
Six months pregnant.
He could only watch from a distance.
He didn't dare come closer or disturb me.
He regretted it countless times.
If he hadn't changed the Marriage Lot over and over.
Would I be his wife now, carrying his child?
Living happily as a family of three.
But there were no ifs.
No regret pills in the world.
After the event, in the lounge.
Xu Yanbai hugged me from behind, chin on my head.
He asked softly, "How are you? Feeling okay?"
I shook my head.
He was a doctor.
He never wanted to take over Xu family business.
If not for my revenge and saving Li Corporation.
He wouldn't have returned to the Xu family.
Xu Zhendong had cancer and not much time left.
His condition for cooperating with me was Xu Yanbai's return.
After marriage, Xu Yanbai remained kind and continued practicing medicine, saving lives.
He said his father had committed many wrongs.
By doing good as a doctor, he could repay some of the debt.
As for Xu Group, he didn't know business.
I was taking over, and it would stay under my control.
When our child grew up, it would pass to him.
They also agreed the second child would carry the Li name.
Both families would have heirs.
My grandfather was so happy his health improved. He could finally leave the nursing home and come home.
Another call from Zhou Linchen came a year later.
I was in the nursery with our child.
I thought he was calling to cling again.
But it was the butler.
"Mrs. Xu, could you come to the hospital?"
