At this moment, the assistant pushed open the door and quickly whispered in Mu Xiubai’s ear, followed by two police officers.
Mu Xiubai turned sharply to look at Ruan Mi. By then, the police had explained their purpose.
They walked up to Zhou Mei, took out handcuffs, and prepared to take her away.
Zhou Mei refused, crying miserably. She was truly terrified. “Xiubai, save me! I don’t want to go to the police station!”
Mu Xiubai was still staring at Ruan Mi. He couldn’t understand why a mere assistant at the Bo Group could have such power,
and why she was willing to work for Ruan Mi.
Seeing that Mu Xiubai ignored her, Zhou Mei knew that if she were taken away in public today, her life would be over.
She clutched her stomach with both hands and began to cry out in pain.
“My stomach, my stomach hurts so much! Xiu Bai, save the baby!”
Mu Xiu Bai finally snapped out of his daze. Even the police were caught off guard; she was pregnant.
Ruan Mi simply watched coldly. Zhou Mei, being pregnant, wouldn’t suffer much; she just needed a little lesson.
Her target was Mu Xiu Bai.
The story ended with Zhou Mei fainting and Mu Xiu Bai rushing her to the hospital.
Although they didn’t take her away, the punishment wouldn’t be light.
Ruan Mi originally wanted to take Zhang Qian to the hospital to treat her head injury, but the pungent smell of disinfectant at the hospital gave her a headache.
In the end, Zhang Nan accompanied her inside, while she waited outside.
She was busy until the afternoon, hadn’t eaten lunch, and her stomach started to feel uncomfortable again.
The car door was opened from the outside, and a familiar, cool fragrance approached.
“Brother, what brings you here?”
Bo Ye glanced at her hand rubbing her stomach, took out some food, and set down the small table. “Always so absent-minded, your stomach is bad, and you don’t eat on time. Your stomach suffers because of you.”
His tone was scolding, but his expression was concerned.
Ruan Mi chuckled, “Brother is so good to me.”
Looking around, she saw all her favorite foods, quickly took a bite, and her eyes narrowed.
“Mmm, delicious.”
Her mouth was stuffed full, and she nodded repeatedly.
Bo Ye just watched, Ruan Mi’s small, thin lips constantly moving, her chubby cheeks like a hamster’s, incredibly cute.
As he watched, Bo Ye’s eyes deepened, and her already luscious red lips appeared even fuller and redder with the oil stains.
They were like bouncy jelly, so tempting to take a bite.
They must be delicious.
Their bodies unconsciously drew closer, ever closer.
Ruan Mi: “Brother, have you eaten?”
Ruan Mi suddenly turned around to as k, almost bumping into Bo Ye’s head because of her sudden movement.
Ruan Mi hadn’t expected them to be so close, and her body instinctively leaned back.
“Brother, you…you’ve eaten?”
She started stammering again, her heart pounding. She didn’t know why, but ever since their last meeting, sometimes seeing Bo Ye would make her heart race. Bo Ye smiled and took out a tissue to gently wipe Ruan Mi’s mouth.
“It’s all oily, eat slowly, no one’s going to take it from you.”
His rough fingertips wiped her lips through the tissue, again and again. His expression was focused, gentle, and delicate.
Ruan Mi just stood there, stunned, letting Bo Ye wipe her lips.
The strong scent of male hormones kept assaulting her, and the temperature of her cheeks rose rapidly. Oh no, Ruan Mi, your thoughts seem to be impure. Wake up, this is your brother, he has someone he loves.
“Brother, I can do it myself!”
Ruan Mi dodged Bo Ye’s attempt to wipe her mouth, snatched the tissue, and haphazardly wiped her own mouth.
She even shifted her body slightly to the side. Bo
Ye clearly saw this subconscious movement.
His bright eyes instantly dimmed, he lowered his gaze, his lips slightly parted, and his fingers slowly tightened.
Bitterness mixed with suppressed emotion.
Still not enough?
The car suddenly fell silent. Ruan Mi secretly glanced at Bo Ye out of the corner of her eye.
She saw that Bo Ye was just lowering his eyes and not speaking, his sharply defined profile cold and aloof.
His entire aura was oppressive.
What’s wrong? Is he angry?
Ruan Mi wanted to say something when her phone rang.
She took out her phone to check; it was Zhang Nan calling.
[Sister Nan.]
[Zhou Mei’s child shows signs of threatened miscarriage, and now they’re insisting that you pushed her, causing it.
The office camera is strangely broken, so if they insist, this is going to be a bit troublesome.] Ruan
Mi frowned. Zhou Mei was experiencing a threatened miscarriage? How could this be?
Her baby was almost four months along, and no one had touched her throughout the entire process.
A sudden threatened miscarriage was rather strange.
But it couldn’t have been faked under Bo Ye’s watchful eye. What exactly was going on?
Ruan Mi: [What are they asking for?]
Zhang Nan: [Mu Xiubai wants to speak with you in person.]
[Okay, I’ll be right there.]
Ruan Mi hung up the phone, explained the situation to Bo Ye, and prepared to go to the hospital.
Bo Ye: “I’ll go with you.”
Ruan Mi shook her head to stop her. “You can’t show your face. Mu Xiubai is the kind of person who won’t do anything without a reason. We can’t let him know about our relationship.”
Bo Ye: “Okay, I’ll have Tianyi go with you. Call me immediately if anything happens.”
Ruan Mi wore a mask and endured the discomfort to meet up with Zhang Nan first.
Zhang Qian’s injuries had been treated, and her eyes immediately reddened when she saw Ruan Mi arrive.
“Sister Mi, it’s all because of me, I…”
“Alright, it’s none of your business. This whole thing was directed at me anyway. Go back in a bit.”
Ruan Mi interrupted Zhang Qian before she could say anything. Zhang Qian was just a tool in this whole affair.
After seeing Zhang Qian off, Ruan Mi and Zhang Nan went straight to the top floor.
When they arrived at Zhou Mei’s ward, Mu Xiubai wasn’t there; only Zhou Mei was there.
Ruan Mi told Zhang Nan to wait outside, and she would go in by herself.
Ruan Mi knocked on the door and pushed it open. When Zhou Mei saw it was her, her eyes reddened, followed by anger.
“What are you doing here? You’ve almost ruined my baby, and you’re happy now?”
Ruan Mi ignored Zhou Mei’s shouts, walked to the side, poured a glass of water, and handed it to her.
“Have a sip, your lips are all chapped.”
With a crack, the glass shattered, Zhou Mei using considerable force.
“Stop pretending.”
Ruan Mi was unconcerned, her expression largely unchanged.
Ruan Mi: “I haven’t touched you at all. A four-month-old baby can’t just miscarry for no reason.
So, you can just say what you’re plotting.”
Zhou Mei bit her lip tightly; compared to Ruan Mi’s composure, her actions seemed utterly ridiculous and childish.
Indeed, her baby was healthy; it couldn’t have had a problem for no reason.
If it weren’t for Ruan Mi’s actions today, she wouldn’t have needed to resort to such methods so early.
Zhou Mei sneered, “Whether you touched her or not is unimportant. What’s important is that we say you did, and my child does indeed have problems.
Ruan Mi, you want to ruin me? How can I let you have your way?”
Her career was still on the rise, and
Mu Xiubai had promised to use his resources to promote her after the child was born, so she couldn’t afford to have a criminal record.
Ruan Mi looked at her coldly, “You just want us to drop the case, right? Fine, we can drop the case.
But you have to guarantee that after this, you won’t cause any more trouble for Zhang Qian, you must let her leave smoothly, and you must provide all the compensation she’s entitled to.”
Zhou Mei was slightly taken aback, not expecting Ruan Mi to be so agreeable. Just as she was about to say yes, the door opened, “No, I’m in charge of this.”
