Step Aside, My CEO Ex-Husband!-Chapter 702 - 703 Tianxin Disappeared 5

"Think it through yourself!" Huo Shaohua broke free from the grip, walked to the door, and placed his hand on the doorknob.

Song Yi rushed over again to stop him, her face pale, pleading pitifully, "Shaohua, I really didn’t mean to hurt Ping’s brother."

She couldn’t let him call the police, nor could she betray Ai Feiyun and the others.

If she betrayed them, her fate wouldn’t be much better than being arrested by the police.

In fact... it would probably be even worse!

"Just saying it wasn’t intentional can excuse you from your responsibility for hurting someone? Did you see that small, frail boy? Beaten by the people you paid, he might lose his life, or be disabled for the rest of it."

"..." Song Yi swallowed in panic; of course, she had seen Ping’s brother.

But it wasn’t her who did the beating, what did it have to do with her...

Besides, if only Ping’s brother had cooperated a bit, he wouldn’t have been beaten!

That kid insisted on protecting Tian Xingyun, so getting beaten served him right!

"Song Yi, stop it. Because of your selfishness, you’re endangering others. Do you not have nightmares when you sleep at night?" Huo Shaohua turned his head and spoke softly to her, gently but firmly, looking straight into her eyes.

He felt like he had never truly known this woman’s other side.

On the outside, she seemed weak, but inside, she was more ruthless than anyone!

Those who helped her in the background were not afraid to discipline Xingyun.

It’s because the people behind her didn’t dare to risk teaching Xingyun a lesson.

They knew that Xingyun had both him and Li Zhiting protecting her, so they didn’t dare to lay a hand on her.

Hurting Ping’s brother was more threatening than hurting Xingyun herself, and it scared her more!

Because people’s hearts are fragile, they fear losing everything.

Not hurting Xingyun directly didn’t count as offending him, and at the same time it satisfied Song Yi’s demand to warn Xingyun.

In doing so, they accomplished two goals in one move, very clever!

Hearing his words, Song Yi gradually loosened her grip on his arm, her face turning as white as a sheet as she looked at him and took a few steps back.

His words brought back memories of Chen, and those bloody pictures of Chen’s car accident flooded her mind!

She shook her head violently, no! She didn’t kill Chen, it was grandma who killed him!

Then those nightmare scenes flashed before her eyes, with Chen and two children demanding her life!

"No! It wasn’t me who killed you!" Song Yi screamed out, losing control as she painfully grabbed her hair.

Huo Shaohua stood quietly to the side, not attempting to stop her.

Song Yi, too agitated, fainted, her vision going black.

Just before she hit the ground, Huo Shaohua quickly caught her.

Not out of concern for her, but for the child in her belly.

――

The following days were very quiet, Wang Yan was recovering exceptionally well in the hospital.

He was already able to get out of bed and move around, walking in the corridor outside the ward for exercise.

Tian Xingyun brought meals for them every day, then returned to work at the shop.

Only by doing these small things within her power did she feel a bit more at ease inside.

Wang Yan was dragged into this because of her, and she wondered if Song Yi would only stop causing trouble if she left the city.

Sitting alone in the shop lost in thought, Tianxin had been taken by the grandmother next door to play.

"Tian, something’s wrong!" A chubby aunt rushed into the shop, panting and shouting.

Tian Xingyun snapped out of her daze and stood up, looking at the aunt. Not seeing Tianxin with her, a bad premonition surged through her.

"Where’s Tianxin?" Her heart raced as she anxiously waited for the aunt’s response.

"I was just playing with Tianxin and some other children in the garden across the street. I urgently needed to go to the restroom, so I handed Tianxin to another child. But who knew..."
