I Was Seduced Into a Marriage After Failing to Charm the Tyrannical Bigshot-Chapter 476 Banquet(4)

476 Banquet(4)

Li Zhongjin was obviously angry. He lowered his voice and said, "Don't you know the status of the people who can sit at that table? Why didn't you drink when they were toasting you?"

Xu Meixi explained in a low voice, "I can't drink…"

"Pfft, you lived a decent life with me for a few days, and now you fucking forgot your background?"

He scolded, "I suppressed the media to not let them dig up your past of working in a bar. Do you really think you're some kind of virtuous person? Refusing to drink after a toast, and you still fucking put on a face. Who gave you the guts to do that?"

Xu Meixi lowered her eyes and hesitated.

In the past, Li Zhongjin had thought that she was timid and pitiful, and that she was different from others. However, now that he had gotten his hands on this woman and she had become a troublesome person he couldn't get rid of, her every move and every word only made him feel disgusted.

"Are you fucking mute? Say something!"

The more he spoke, the angrier he became. He said in fury, "Xu Meixi, you'd better understand that I had no choice but to let you return to the Li family as my fiancée. Don't think too highly of yourself!"

"I didn't."

She argued in a low voice. "I... I'm pregnant..."

Li Zhongjin looked at her in disbelief. "What did you say?"

She seemed to have thrown caution to the wind. She said word by word, "I'm pregnant, so I can't drink."

Li Zhongjin stared at Xu Meixi with a strange look in his eyes. In the end, he laughed. "With whose child?"

"What do you mean by that?"

Her expression changed slightly. "Whose child could this be other than yours?"

"During this period, the number of times I've touched you can be counted on one hand. Who knows who you've slept with secretly?"

He said contemptuously, "Don't even think about putting the blame on me!"

Xu Meixi said calmly, "If you don't believe me, you can go to the hospital for a test. See whether it's your child or not."

Li Zhongjin squinted at her, his expression extremely gloomy.

He suddenly said," "Is that so? Well, we can't have this child. Follow me to the hospital and get rid of it."

She replied firmly, "No. This child is also my flesh and blood. I want to keep it."

"What? You want to stay and use this child to get to the top?" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝓫𝓷𝓸𝒗𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝓶

Li Zhongjin sneered. "Xu Meixi, you're really not easy to deal with. It wasn't enough for you to threaten me to admit your identity in front of the media to show off our 'love'. Now, you even want to chain me with a bastard child? You're really cunning! Let me tell you, in your dreams!"

Initially, he had taken a fancy to Xu Meixi because of her temperament and beauty among the waitresses. But more importantly, she had a simple resume. She had just graduated from university and was a doctor. She would be of great use in his plan.

Reality proved that he was right. His engagement with her had come true, and his parents, who believed in marriage, panicked.

He pretended to cut ties with his family because of her, which confused his mother and made her agree to all his requests. As a result, he got Zhen Group's shares under his mother's name that he had been coveting for a long time and successfully entered the company.

However, he had never thought about doing anything with her. How could such a woman be worthy of him?

When Old Lady Zhen was poisoned that day, he had wanted to use this opportunity to get rid of Xu Meixi. Originally, she was doomed, and it was inevitable that she would go to jail.

Unexpectedly, Shen Hanyu had let her off the hook and didn't pursue her responsibility. She was able to get out of the police station without any trouble.

After she came out, the first thing she did when she found Li Zhongjin was to threaten him and make him admit his identity as her fiancée in public. It was also because he had something on her that he had no choice but to comply.

However, he did not expect her to be pregnant now. If this child was really related to him, he would be at her mercy in the future!

"This child can't stay."

Li Zhongjin suddenly grabbed Xu Meixi and dragged her forward. "We have to go to the hospital tonight!"

Xu Meixi struggled to break free. "I'm not going!"

"Who do you think you are? If I'm telling you to go today, then you have to go!"

Li Zhongjin had obviously used a lot of strength. He pulled so hard that she staggered and fell to the ground.

However, he did not have any pity for her. He continued to drag her forward, and one of her high heels fell off.

Sang Qianqian was shocked and angry. Xu Meixi was pregnant! Li Zhongjin was really a beast. How could he treat a pregnant woman like this?

Just as she was about to turn around and stop the scene in front of her, she heard Xu Meixi say faintly, "If this child is gone, aren't you afraid that I'll make public the fact that you poisoned Old Lady Zhen?"

Li Zhongjin was furious when he heard this. "Xu Meixi, are you done? You used this trick to force me to admit your identity last time, and you're still using it now?"

"But it's a fact that you used me to poison her. Do you want me to play the recording of your conversation with your mother again?"

Her tone was calm as she turned on her phone.

This sentence and this action seemed to have poked his sore spot. He snatched the phone and threw it heavily on the ground. The phone immediately shattered into pieces.

She was still very calm. "It's okay. I have a backup of the recording."

Li Zhongjin's gaze was a little scary. "Do you really think that I won't dare to do anything to you?"

Xu Meixi smiled. "Didn't I tell you that if anything happens to me, the recording will be sent to the right people? One of them will be Shen Hanyu."

"Shen Hanyu can't even protect himself now. He might not be able to come back from abroad."

His tone was sinister as he said, "I was apprehensive before because he was in Beijing. Now, do you think I'm still afraid of him? Moreover, even if you release the recording, who would believe it? I'm the old lady's biological nephew."

"Then you can try."

Xu Meixi wasn't in a hurry. She slowly put on her shoes and stood up from the ground. "But this child is still mine."

Li Zhongjin stared at her. He thought about how he had been held hostage by this woman for so long. In the future, he might have to be deeply bound to her because of that child. He was instantly furious.

"Then go to hell!"

His expression was ferocious. He suddenly reached out and grabbed her neck. Xu Meixi struggled, and her face quickly turned red.

Sang Qianqian could no longer hold it in. Just as she was about to shout to stop him, someone grabbed her arm. She shivered and turned around. It was Xie Shi'an.

Xie Shi'an shook his head at her.

He pulled Sang Qianqian a few steps away and deliberately increased his pace. He raised his voice and said, "This place is indeed quieter than the banquet hall, but it's a little cold at night. Take a breather and let's go home."

On the other side, Li Zhongjin suddenly froze and let go of Xu Meixi.
