Every word, every sentence was like a knife stabbing straight into Kang Jinse’s heart. Her fingernails deeply pierced into the palm of her hand, as she forced herself to calm down. Kang Jinxian, with one hand on her abdomen, smiled proudly, "Do you know? I’m carrying Brother Shen’s child. He said that he can’t bear our child being called a bastard and will marry me soon. He said he’s going to give me the grandest wedding in the world." Kang Jinse took a deep breath, her gaze filled with hatred as it fell on the other’s belly. Could she really be pregnant? "Does He An know?" Kang Jinse suddenly laughed. Kang Jinxian’s pupils shrank for a moment before relaxing again, a slight smile lifting the corners of her mouth, "What is He An? How could I possibly have a child with him? I love Brother Shen, and he loves me too. Lovers will eventually become spouses. Sister, aren’t you happy for us?" Kang Jinse truly wanted to burst into scornful laughter. She had played so many evil mistresses in dramas, and now, the retribution had finally come. Her dear younger sister had personally taught her a lesson. "Happy? Of course, I’m happy for you. I wish you both a wretched death, a legacy of infamy," she spat bitterly. Kang Jinxian walked up and slapped her across the face, "Watch your mouth. Soon, I’ll be Lady Yun. If you want to live with dignity, you’ll have to read my face. Otherwise, I’ll make your life worse than a dog’s." Kang Jinse wiped at the blood trickling from the corner of her mouth and sneered, "Kang Jinxian, aren’t you getting a bit ahead of yourself? What does being pregnant matter, or Yun Shen’s love for you, for that matter? Don’t you believe that with just one word, I can make you die with nowhere to bury you?" Kang Jinxian laughed it off, "To think that He An can control me is naive. He’s utterly devoted to me. If I told him to die, he wouldn’t dare utter a word of complaint. Do you think he’d believe you?" She was truly intoxicated with conceit. Kang Jinse let out a cold laugh, lay down, and closed her eyes, "Well, you just wait and see." A flicker of doubt crossed Kang Jinxian’s mind. Did her sister really have some leverage over her? She knew all too well what Kang Jinse was capable of. Apart from He An, what else could she threaten her with? Besides, she already had a foolproof plan for He An. It was only a bit more difficult to deal with Yun Shu, but nothing she couldn’t handle... For original chapters go to noⅴelfire.net "Brother Shen is coming back tonight, and I need to go accompany him. Sister, I’ll come to see you when I have time. Bye for now," she said. Watching Kang Jinxian’s retreating figure, Kang Jinse slowly opened a sliver of her eyes and sneered, "Let’s see who the naive one is. Just wait and see." "Sir, you’re back," Aunt Li hurried over to greet him. Yun Shen glanced around the empty house and unconsciously furrowed his brow, "Where’s mother?" Aunt Li lowered her gaze to hide the panic in her eyes and respectfully said, "Lady Yun is resting." Yun Shen strode towards Yun Shu’s room, with Aunt Li quickly trotting behind him. "Sir, the lady said she didn’t want to be disturbed by anyone...." At that moment, muffled voices could be heard from inside the room. Aunt Li’s complexion turned white, and she hung her head. Yun Shen let out a scornful laugh and turned to walk upstairs, his steps urgent as if trying to shake off something filthy. His work had not been going well lately and his home life was absurd. He had never felt like such a failure before. Suddenly, he guzzled a large bottle of alcohol after his shower and felt slightly intoxicated. He slumped into the rocking chair on the balcony, looking up at the stars, his gaze hazy. The night was cold, and he had on only a bathrobe, but he couldn’t feel the chill at all. A raging fire in his heart urgently needed release. Ha... ha ha, what had Yun Shen, who had lived half a lifetime, ultimately achieved? A broken family, a deranged mother, and despite a successful career, what was the use of it all? What was the point of it all? In a sudden fit, he swept everything off the table onto the floor. The bottles shattered with a crash, not satisfying his anger, and he kicked over the table. What use was regret now? He had been weak and lacked responsibility in the past. It served him right to face such consequences. Yun Shen, you deserve it... Glass shards gouged wounds into his legs, and blood streamed out, but he couldn’t feel the pain. Tired, he collapsed on the ground, staring wide-eyed at the sky. The door was "clicked" open, and Kang Jinxian, dressed in a sheer nightgown after her bath, tiptoed over. Seeing the chaos on the balcony, she quickly ran over in concern, "Brother Shen, don’t lie down here to sleep, you’ll catch a cold. Let me help you inside, shall we?" Her weight was not enough to move Yun Shen, and she instinctively fell onto his chest. With a smile, she wrapped her arms around his waist and said in a coquettish tone, "Brother Shen, is there something upsetting you? You can tell me, and I’ll help you solve your troubles."
