Chapter 144 Xiao Huai: He's a married man!
She looked up at the man who was nearly ten years older than the original owner of the body. Zheng Ran in his youth had a handsome face with distinct features, but his expression contained a maturity and sophistication that did not belong to his age.
"I'll let you go only if you tell me you're pregnant."
"But the abortion pills didn't work after you took them, so you were just lying to me, weren't you?"
He casually pulled the cloth out of her mouth.
Su Qi stared at him in shock, her lips moving uncontrollably as she replied, "So you gave me abortion pills? Didn't you say they were nutritional supplements to help with pregnancy?"
What the hell? !
Su Qi tried to cover her mouth in terror, but her hands and feet were tied.
The scene shifts, and Su Qi is moved to another location following the system's guidance.
Zheng Ran gripped her neck, glaring at her and saying, "Remember who you are! You're just her substitute!"
Su Qi's mouth answered for her: "You know very well that I'm nothing like her!"
Zheng Ran's expression turned terrifying: "It's just like that! You look just like that when you're obedient. I like the way you're obedient."
"From now on, you have to listen to me obediently, understand?"
The scene shifts, and Su Qi is sent to an interview again, probably around the time when the original owner had just entered the entertainment industry.
"Ms. Su, did you get into this industry with your boyfriend's help?"
"Is your boyfriend the newly rich Mr. Zheng Ran?"
Her body was trembling; clearly, feelings of guilt, fear, and anxiety were welling up inside her.
Su Qi knew that the original owner of this body had a relationship with Zheng Ran, which was told to her by the people around her.
So this time, before the original owner could even answer, she blurted out, "Yes, my boyfriend is Mr. Zheng."
The image malfunction was quickly resolved.
Zheng Ran and she were arguing about breaking up. She asked, "Who do you think I am?"
"Who exactly is this 'she' you're talking about?!"
Zheng Ran didn't say anything; she just picked up her bag and left.
[The rollback is about to end. You will be returned to your starting point in three minutes to continue the mission. Please be prepared.]
The system's mechanical voice instantly brought her back to her senses.
Yes, who is that "she"?
Who exactly is the "she" that drove Zheng Ran to such madness and obsession, treating the original owner as her?
Su Qi frowned, realizing she had made a mistake.
So, she was the real culprit who made the original owner's relationship with Zheng Ran public?
She shouldn't have answered on behalf of the original owner.
Because she was no longer under his control, Zheng Ran became enraged and wanted to destroy her.
Is he really using her as a substitute?
Su Qi shook her head, trying to come to her senses.
In the dark environment, the image gradually becomes clear.
The lights were off in the large apartment, so Su Qi got up to find a source of light.
The next second, the door opened from the outside, and the woman, soaked to the bone, cried out, "Brother Ran..."
Zheng Ran instantly snapped out of his daze, pressed a button, and all the lights came on.
The three people stood there, stunned.
Zheng Ran recalled Su Qi's actions towards him earlier, and awkwardly gripped his arm before running to the shower room.
Shen Qingyue stared fiercely at Su Qi: "What are you doing here?"
"Brother Ran's secret hideout, he never told me about it, yet he invited you here directly?"
Shen Qingyue's eyes were red: "I knew he didn't come to pick me up tonight, it turns out you were the one who deliberately seduced me!"
"You seduced my brother, wasn't that enough? You're going to ruin my fiancé too?!"
Shen Qingyue picked up her phone to record the evidence: "I'll post it online and let everyone see if you can still survive in this industry!"
Su Qi reached out to block, but Shen Qingyue was one step ahead of her.
Shen Qingyue now hates everyone related to Su Qi; in fact, she despises everyone.
Shen Qingyue called the paparazzi: "I'll pay three times the amount if this woman makes a juicy revelation!"
Instead of stopping her, Su Qi looked at Shen Qingyue with disgust and asked, "Do you like him?"
Shen Qingyue paused for a moment: "I didn't like it before, but now, our relationship has just begun, so don't try to sow discord between us!"
Su Qi found it even funnier: "You say I seduced him, but you don't know about his past romantic history, do you? If you did know, it's hard to say who seduced whom."
"What kind of good person is it when a man who is about to become a married man agrees to meet another woman alone with him late at night?"
Su Qi picked up her bag, and the rain outside the window stopped: "Goodbye."
"Spreading rumors comes at a price."
Her eyes hardened.
Zheng Ran splashed water on his face in the bathroom, touching his body in disbelief: "What did she do to me?"
At this moment, Shen Qingyue was unaware that Zheng Ran had some mental issues; she only heard this sentence in the bathroom.
She changed her mind.
Shen Qingyue slowly dialed the phone: "No need to reveal anything, just treat it as a rumor."
Before the paparazzi could even process what was happening, the call ended, and they immediately called her an idiot, saying the photos were irrefutable and a perfect opportunity to destroy their rivals.
She recorded Zheng Ran's words and sent the photos to Shen Chaohuai.
Shen Qingyue raised the corners of her mouth: "Since you have the ability to treat this as a rumor... then let's see if I, the brother who has feelings for you, will tear you in two when I find out..."
Shen Chaohuai was resting with his head covered when he heard the notification sound and reached out to remove the pillow covering his head.
He jumped up and went to check the message, clearly annoyed.
His business interests and network are so extensive that he receives news almost 24/7, which has led him to develop a habit of checking every piece of news.
As it turned out, this time it was news from Shen Qingyue.
I initially thought it was a tactic to drive a wedge between him and her, until I heard the man say...
"Su Qi, you and him..."
“Why?! Why?!”
"Seeking glory?"
If she were still Su Qi of that empire, perhaps he wouldn't be so angry.
As an empress, it's normal for her to want several.
But now, isn't she being a little too casual?
He lived right next to her, and unable to contain his anger, he grabbed her arm and shoved her onto the sofa as soon as she opened the door.
Exhausted, Su Qi was too lazy to resist and let him press down on top of her.
He held up his phone, reminding her it was 2:30 in the morning, and then threw the message in front of her.
“Su Qi! He’s a married man! How could you… how could you do that to him…”
Shen Chaohuai's eyes were slightly red, and he hesitated to speak.
Su Qicai then remembered her behavior towards Zheng Ran. She tried her best to explain, "I didn't. I was fully dressed. You just believe Shen Qingyue's one-sided story?"
“I didn’t believe it before, but now I do.”
"You cold-hearted woman."
"You don't care whether I live or die, and you're definitely just playing around with Zheng Ran! You only care about yourself."
Su Qi shook her head, trying to push him away, but he leaned closer and closer.
His Adam's apple was prominent yet delicate, and it rolled slightly in front of her eyes: "I hate you."
She opened her eyes wide and stared at him in surprise.
"I hate your words, 'What does my business have to do with you?' and I hate how casually you treat feelings."
Shen Chaohuai stood up, turned his wristwatch, and stormed out the door.
Su Qi clutched her chest, feeling an overwhelming sense of unease wash over her, and a sharp pain shot through her heart.
She didn't understand why she felt upset because he was angry.
Her body felt an uncontrollable urge to go to him.
Su Qi went to open the door barefoot and called out into the silent night, "Shen Chaohuai!"
