The woman lived with Meng Yuan.
Tang Ke Ke immediately recalled something: when they were in Mo Du, upon hearing that a woman named Yun Xia was pregnant, Li Qing Shuo had seemed off. She still remembered his dazed, lost appearance.
Could the pregnant woman be Yun Xia?
Tang Ke Ke's heart lurched. Her grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly, a flicker of jealousy and hatred flashing in her eyes.
That's right, it was when Li Qing Shuo heard about Yun Xia's pregnancy that he had said they could only be friends.
If this woman hadn't been pregnant, Li Qing Shuo would have continued to walk with her.
He would have also paid more attention to the girl his mother liked.
Li Qing Shuo had no woman he liked, so that person could have been her.
Or it could have been any other woman!
So, her beautiful future had been ruined by this woman named Yun Xia?
"Hmph!" Tang Ke Ke snorted. She wouldn't let Yun Xia give birth to the child. Only her son could inherit the Li family's fortune.
She still had hope!
A responsible man like Li Qing Shuo would marry her if she had his child. That was also why she had followed him to Mo Du, but she had never had the chance.
Li Qing Shuo wasn't like those dissolute rich second-generation heirs who couldn't take their eyes off women. Li Qing Shuo was clear-headed; he only wanted the woman he liked. Such a man was exactly the man Tang Ke Ke dreamed of.
And since Yun Xia lived with Meng Yuan, it would be easier for her to make a move.
Tang Ke Ke took out her phone and called Meng Yuan.
Just as Meng Yuan received Tang Ke Ke's call, Li Qing Shuo's people delivered lunch. Meng Yuan happened to be opening the door to receive the lunch.
From a distance, Tang Ke Ke mistook them for delivery personnel.
Meng Yuan, holding the food container, said, "Hello, Ke Ke!"
Tang Ke Ke smiled and said, "Yuan Yuan, you've been so busy since you got back. Do you have time today? How about we go out? The weather is nice too."
Meng Yuan refused without a second thought, "Sorry, Ke Ke, I have something to do today. Let's do it another time!"
Tang Ke Ke frowned slightly as she watched Meng Yuan enter. She could sense that Meng Yuan didn't like her.
But it didn't matter; as long as she could be used.
"Yuan Yuan, are you going to work?" she asked casually.
This Meng Yuan was also lucky to have caught He Ming Run's attention, and He Ming Run doted on her.
This woman, ordinary and vulgar, yet so fortunate!
"Yes, Ke Ke, I'm working. I can't go. Let's make plans another time." Meng Yuan didn't like Tang Ke Ke from the bottom of her heart and naturally wouldn't meet with her.
If they happened to run into each other, she would greet them.
She just felt that Tang Ke Ke was a bit sly and simply didn't like spending time with her. Moreover, there was nothing to talk about when they met, and it was awkward!
Tang Ke Ke let out a cold laugh. It seemed Meng Yuan really didn't consider her a friend.
She had originally wanted to use Meng Yuan, but this woman seemed difficult to control.
She smiled and said, "Okay, Yuan Yuan, let's make plans another time."
Tang Ke Ke hung up the phone and drove away. What she needed to do now was go back and figure out what to do.
This time, I can't act myself.
If Li Qing Shuo found out, she would truly be cut off from the wealthy families.
Tang Ke Ke instantly locked onto a candidate.
Sheng Huan, by Li Qing Shuo's side. That woman was no good either.
Tang Ke Ke smiled maliciously, feeling exceptionally good, and even played a song to celebrate her brilliant idea.
However, she didn't notice that two cameras with 360-degree coverage were installed on Jiang Nuan's house.
From her position, they could see the people in the car clearly.
Meng Yuan and Yun Xia ate happily. Yun Xia, however, never dreamed that after a trip to the hospital, danger was gradually approaching her.
...
Jiang Nuan woke up the next day, sleeping until noon. The reason was simple: Mu Jiu Chen, who had endured all night, finally couldn't resist. Seeing Jiang Nuan awake and full of energy, he felt it was time to enjoy breakfast.
After nearly an hour of passionate lovemaking, Jiang Nuan fell into a deep sleep again.
When she woke up again, she was ravenously hungry.
There was no pain as she had expected, and she let out a sigh of relief.
Jiang Nuan also knew that after enduring the first wave of pain, the next wave would likely arrive around tomorrow night. She needed to prepare the medicine as soon as possible.
After washing up, she went downstairs and saw Mu Jiu Chen on the phone in the living room.
The man stood in the sunlight, his posture as upright as a pine tree, his eyes bathed in the sunlight, appearing refined and captivating.
As their eyes met, a faint blush spread across Jiang Nuan's fair cheeks.
Mu Jiu Chen, still on the phone, walked towards Jiang Nuan.
He already held the car keys in his hand and then embraced Jiang Nuan as they went out.
"Mm! I know. Handle the follow-up matters properly."
After hanging up the phone, Mu Jiu Chen smiled and said, "Nuan Nuan, I've already put the medicinal ingredients in the car."
"But why is your face so red?" Mu Jiu Chen asked teasingly, making Jiang Nuan's face flush even more.
She shot him a silent glare. Don't you know why my face is red?
"Are you tired?" Mu Jiu Chen held her tighter with concern.
Jiang Nuan pinched his waist and then said, "Then why didn't you stop when I said I was tired?"
Mu Jiu Chen instantly felt like he had shot himself in the foot.
For such matters, a man truly couldn't stop.
"Nuan Nuan, let's go have lunch." Mu Jiu Chen changed the subject, then opened the car door. Seeing Jiang Nuan about to speak, he quickly took out the prepared warm milk and placed it in her hands. "Nuan Nuan, drink some milk first."
Jiang Nuan glanced at him and slowly sat in the passenger seat.
Mu Jiu Chen then breathed a sigh of relief, considering the matter closed.
After watching Jiang Nuan finish the milk, he got into the driver's seat and started the car to go to the Li family.
Jiang Nuan was already shy and didn't bring up the previous topic.
Compared to the peaceful happiness on Jiang Nuan's side, Han Yi Fan's situation took a turn for the worse.
Han Yi Fan stared at the manipulated stock market with a dark and terrifying expression.
The Han Corporation's stock had plummeted, and there was a massive sell-off. The same person was buying continuously. This person was targeting their company.
Moreover, they had found the Han family's weak spot and were holding them by the throat.
The only person who could retaliate so swiftly would be Mu Jiu Chen.
He was still dressed in white, exuding unparalleled elegance, refined and amiable, but he stared grimly at the computer screen, a chilling aura permeating the study.
His assistant, Jiang Huai, was both anxious and frustrated. They had lost track of Jiang Nuan yesterday.
With the young master's condition worsening, everyone's days were difficult.
The one who tied the bell must untie it. Jiang Nuan was the young master's obsession, but she couldn't be found anytime soon.
They hoped for good news today.
Before that hope materialized, the company was in trouble.
"Jiang Huai." a grim voice came.
Jiang Huai, waiting at the door, felt his heart tremble.
"Young Master." he said, standing at the door with his eyes lowered.
"Haven't you found Nuan Nuan yet?" Han Yi Fan asked, without moving, his gaze fixed on the computer screen.
Just as Jiang Huai was about to answer no, he saw a message come through his phone.
"Assistant Jiang, we have news about Jiang Nuan."
