A second chance with my billionaire husband-Chapter 1441 - 281: Self-Disgrace and Taking Another’s Place (Part 5)

Jiang Li looked at her calmly, without sorrow or joy in his eyes: "Xinyi, why have you become like this?"

Pei Xinyi suddenly calmed down, "People are forced by circumstances. If I had a choice, I wouldn’t have come to this point, but I had no choice." She said, "People like you who are born with everything will never understand me, do you know that? To obtain something I like, how much effort do I have to put in? You privileged young lords can never understand. The first time I saw Ji Yunya, I was insanely jealous of her. Heaven is so unfair. Why do some people get everything they want without doing anything, while I, no matter how hard I work, the people and things I love ultimately leave me? Tell me, how unfair is this world?"

She spoke softly, with a calm expression on her face.

Jiang Li sighed, "There are too many unfortunate people in this world. If everyone thought like you, how could life go on?"

"I don’t care."

"Then don’t you think about Si’er at all?"

Jiang Li’s words suddenly left Pei Xinyi stunned, Si’er... her Si’er...

In the afternoon, Yan Zi woke up. When she learned that the child wasn’t saved, she went crazy, smashing things in the hospital room.

Yan Nanrong went over to hold her: "Zizi, calm down."

Yan Zi cried and pushed him away: "How do you want me to calm down? After so many years, I finally got pregnant, and now the child is gone... hehe... Fourth Brother, you should ask your good wife, all of this is her doing. I want her to pay for my child’s life." Yan Zi shouted madly, and then, as if in a frenzy, tried to rush out.

Yan Nanrong forcefully put her back on the bed, then the nurse rushed in to give her a sedative. Yan Zi cried out, "Fourth Brother, I hate you, I hate all of you, you all killed my child...."

Finally, after crying and making a fuss, Yan Zi quieted down.

Yan Nanrong slumped into a chair, utterly drained, his head hanging low.

Yan Nangui took Yan Si to the hospital for a check-up. Luckily, there was no damage to the heart or lungs, just a slight skin injury—she would be fine with a few days of rest.

The little girl lay pale on the hospital bed, holding Yan Nangui’s hand, pitifully saying: "Seventh Uncle, am I really not my father’s daughter?"

Yan Nangui patted her head and smiled, "Your Third Brother was lying to you. Watch how I deal with him later. Don’t let your mind wander, just rest well."

"Then, Seventh Uncle, will you leave me?" she said, tightly clutching Yan Nangui’s sleeve, afraid that the person before her would disappear with a blink.

Yan Nangui shook his head with a smile: "How could that happen? Seventh Uncle will always be with you."

Yan Si grinned: "Everyone says you’re very scary. I used to be very afraid of you too, but now I think you’re the best person to me after my mom and dad."

Yan Nangui smiled widely: "Alright, get some sleep."

Yan Si closed her eyes and soon fell asleep. Even in her sleep, she didn’t loosen her grip on Yan Nangui, her small brow furrowed as if dreaming of something bad.

Yan Nangui slowly pried her hand open, and Yan Si murmured uneasily but did not wake up.

"Juncheng," Yan Nangui spoke.

A man entered from outside: "Seventh Master...."

"Keep an eye on her, call me when she wakes up." With those words, he turned and walked out.

Children bearing the debts of adults, these people are eternally selfish. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Juncheng glanced at the little girl on the hospital bed, secretly clicking his tongue—since when had the Seventh Master become so compassionate?

"Fourth Mistress, I won’t dare do this again, please forgive me...." Xiang’er knelt on the ground, her head banging loudly against the floor.

Pei Ying, flicking prayer beads, said indifferently, "Such sin... despite my trust in you every day, you did such disgraceful things. Forgive? How do I forgive you? Tell me, how do I forgive you?" Pei Ying slammed the table hard.

Zhuang Xiyue smiled: "Fourth Aunt, she’s just a servant. Even if you gave her the courage of heaven, she wouldn’t dare act this way. I think someone must be instructing her from behind."

Who has control over Xiang’er? Who ordered her, do we still need to say it out loud?

Xiang’er shook her head and then nodded: "No one instructed me, no... it’s..." She suddenly looked at Pei Ying, and meeting those cold eyes, all words suddenly failed her.

"Fourth Aunt, you seemed to have frightened this child. Someone unaware might think you’re the mastermind instead."

"Don’t joke, Yueyue, I truly had no knowledge of this matter. This is all that girl’s own doing. You know her deep feelings for Xiao Qi, but who knew it would turn into such a scandal. It’s misfortune for the family...." Pei Ying shook her head in disappointment.
