“No matter what, just listen to Miss Ling.” An Yan didn’t know how to explain to him and could only swear an oath. “I swear with my life that the child in Miss Ling’s stomach is Third Master’s!”

Xu Xi mumbled, “Your life is worthless though.”

‘An Yan was speechless. “Ask Miss Ling to speak with me.”

“She’s already gone.”

‘An Yan expected better from her. “Let me tell you, we are in absolute danger now. You can offend Third Master, but you must not offend Miss Ling. Otherwise, when the Third Master remembers us, we will not have a good outcome.”

Xu Xi still didn’t know what nonsense he was talking about, but they were all brothers. He had already angered the Third Master because of Miss Ling, so he might as well just go all out. It didn’t matter, he would believe him for now. “I understand.”

Ling Sheng dragged two huge suitcases without an umbrella. She squatted under the tree at the entrance to hide from the rain while waiting for Ji Fanchen and the rest to pick her up.

Her phone rang, it was a call from Song Yiyan. She was used to her sister being heartless who would never call her unless there was something wrong.

“Sheng Sheng, do you have money?” Song Yiyan cut straight to the chase.

“How much do you want?” Ling Sheng sighed deeply, her guess was right. She would never call her unless she needed her, so she had thought of her now.

“100,000 yuan,” Song Yiyan said before adding, “You can transfer it to me now. Don’t worry, once I get the money, I’ll return it to you immediately. I will return it to you with interest.”

“There’s no need to be so calculating between us, you can have as much as you want. There’s no need to talk about interest.” Ling Sheng shrank back from the cold and put the phone by her ear.

“We’re sisters.” Song Yiyan smiled. “I’ll return it to you by Sunday at the latest.”

“Why are you in such a hurry to get the money?” Ling Sheng asked this because she was afraid that something would happen to her and that there would be trouble.

She had been short of money for a long time. She lived in a small, remote, and dilapidated house that was rented, but she did not mention money troubles before at all.

“It’s nothing serious. My man was scammed. I’ma little tight on cash and can’t raise that much money at short notice.” Song Yiyan didn’t want to hide anything from her.

“Where are you now? Is it serious? Do you need my help?” When Ling Sheng heard that something had really happened, she became nervous.

“I told you it’s fine. We’re at the police station. That couple is being unreasonable and they’re making a scene. If we don’t give them money, they won’t reconcile with us. They even want to expose me. I’m a public figure after all, I’ll ust treat it as using the money to avoid any troubles,” Song Yiyan said

casually. She didn’t take it seriously.

“Are you really okay?” Ling Sheng asked worriedly when she heard someone shout.

“Tm hanging up. Hurry up and transfer the money to me.” Song Yiyan then scolded angrily, “That shameless couple will return the money they extorted from me tenfold or even a hundredfold!”

Ling Sheng could hear the smugness and slyness in her words. Before she could ask what she meant, she had already hung up.

The bedroom on the second floor was very dark. In front of the windows, the man’s tall figure was lonely as he exuded a cold aura that made one’s heart palpitate.

‘The man’s eyes were faintly flickering with fire as he stared in the direction of the door. The rain was getting heavier, dripping from the gaps in the trees.

‘The woman under the tree was squatting on the curb of the road. She was small and lumpy, and must have been cold. She hugged her legs tightly, looking weak, pitiful and helpless.

His slender fingers slowly caressed the spot on his chest where the heart was. His fingers tightened bit by bit until his shirt started to deform.
