Chapter 226: Trouble at a Glance
Chapter 226: Trouble at a Glance
"I'm not going!"
I broke free from my mother.
"You still haven't given up on Gong Yi Mo Chen! He doesn't want you anymore! And you let a woman like this insult you! You still can't figure it out!"
"With all this money, you can have any man you want! You can have a child with anyone you want!"
I shook my head "No! I want this one! I promised not to lose him again!"
I promised the little boy in my dream that he came to me again. I will never give up on him again. I cannot give up on him.
"What nonsense are you talking about! Are you overwhelmed?" The Queen looked at me in confusion.
"Just treat me as if I'm mentally ill. I won't beat the child, nor will I look for Gong Yi Mo Chen again, and I won't use the child to get close to him. I won't... believe me!"
The queen looked at me, and he sat beside me and stopped talking.
Li Xin pushed the door open and came to my side.
"Aren't you pregnant?! Crying like this is not good for your health."
"Li Xin, please don't come to me again. Some of what Qin Yuejun said is right. If you continue to be involved with me, it will affect you."
"I don't care..."
"I care!" I looked at Li Xin.
"Of course you don't care. How could there be gossip that dares to write about you? It's all about Rongyue's bad things! All the ugly things are said about her! Do you know how many bastards are waiting to take pictures of her? Now, as long as a man comes to see her, there will be related news immediately! The content is disgusting! You really should let her go! Don't come to her one by one!"
"I will take care of all this. No one will follow her anymore."
"No need. As long as you don't come to me, I won't have these troubles. No one will care about me after a long time." I pushed open the door and walked out of the office.
"Where are you going?" Li Xin followed me.
"Go home, I'm tired, you should go back too."
"I send you."
"Do not bother."
"Melting Moon!"
I ignored Li Xin and walked straight to the street, looking at the passing cars. I wanted to call a taxi.
"Don't waste your energy! You can't beat me, so just come with me!" Li Xin pulled me and walked towards his car.
I looked at Li Xin's hand holding my arm tightly, and I really couldn't break free. I got into Li Xin's car and looked at the person who was taking pictures with his mobile phone in the distance.
"Don't worry about those. I'll take care of it." Li Xin got in the car and started it.
"Mo Chen, are you okay?" I looked at Li Xin.
Li Xin frowned slightly. "It's hard to accept the death of a loved one. It takes some time to calm down. Besides, he hadn't seen his mother for so many years, and his aunt passed away not long after they reunited. It's inevitable that he feels bad."
I nodded.
"But fortunately, my uncle is here, and the father and son can comfort each other. You don't have to worry too much about Mo Chen."
It would be a lie to say I wasn't worried. I hadn't seen him for almost three months. I forced myself not to think about him. I thought time would make everything fade away. But every time someone mentioned Mo Chen's name, my heart ached as if someone was squeezing it.
"The most important thing for you now is to take care of yourself and your children."
I nodded.
"Mo Chen... your matter... give Mo Chen some time..."
"You don't have to comfort me anymore. What happened between us cannot be solved by time."
I looked at Li Xin.
"I don't want Gong Yi's family to know that I'm pregnant... I don't want this child to have any connection with Gong Yi's family. Can you please not tell them?"
"Don't be silly, Rongyue. This is Gong Yi's child anyway. Gong Yi's family can't possibly disown their own offspring. Besides, isn't it fair for the child not to know his origins?"
I turned to look out the window. Li Xin was right... What should I do...
When we arrived at the door of my grandmother's unit, there were a lot of people gathered at the door, and some of them were taking pictures with their mobile phones.
My heart tightened and I quickly opened the car door and got out.
"All of you get out of here! We Rongyue are not like what you say!"
As soon as I got off the car, I heard my grandma's angry shout.
I rushed into the crowd.
I saw my grandmother standing at the door pointing at a few people at the door.
There were obscene insults written on the wall in red in the corridor.
"grandmother!"
Grandma raised her eyes and looked at me "Rongyue!"
I ran to grandma and supported her, "Grandma, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. These people! They! Are talking nonsense!" Grandma was so angry that she couldn't utter a complete sentence.
I turned around and reached out to open the phone that was about to hit my face. "Have you taken enough photos? Get out of here!"
"Hey! How can you just break other people's things? Look! She hit me! Everyone saw it!" The man whose phone I opened yelled.
"Hey! Take a quick shot! She's hitting someone!"
"Sure enough, he is used to bullying others!"
"If you can kill someone, how can you beat someone up?"
“This is Nangong Rongyue!”
“Take a picture now!”
"The people around her were also photographed."
"Look everyone! Nangong Rongyue hit me, relying on the support he has! He is so shameless and arrogant!" The person whose phone I knocked away shouted louder and louder.
"What nonsense are you talking about! You have no shame!" Grandma shouted angrily.
"Grandma, ignore him, let's go back."
"what!"
I heard a howl, and then everyone fell silent.
I turned around and looked towards the source of the wailing sound.
Li Xin pressed the man who had been yelling to the ground. He pressed his knee against the man's chest and then punched the man in the face. The man wailed and was stunned by Li Xin's fist.
The people who were taking photos and whispering before all looked at Li Xin in horror.
Li Xin just held down the man lying on the ground and punched him in the face again and again.
"Don't let anyone die!" Grandma shook me.
I quickly went to Li Xin and pulled him aside, "Stop fighting."
I couldn't move Li Xin with my left hand.
I hugged Li Xin's fist with both arms. "Stop it, Li Xin, stop it! Someone will die! Don't..."
I was almost knocked down by his fist, but luckily Li Xin reacted quickly. He withdrew his hand, stood up and brought me back into his arms.
"Don't you want hot spots? Is this enough? If not, you guys can do the same as him. Do you want to try it?" Li Xin pressed me into his arms, his voice revealing hidden anger.
His chest heaved.
"Get out of here if you know what's best for you. I'm telling you, anyone who writes about Nangong Rongyue, no matter what you write or how you publish it, I, Li Xin, will track you down to the bottom. Go back and prepare to be sued. I will keep my word!"
I heard running footsteps.
The crowd dispersed.
Soon.
"Mr. Li! How do we deal with this person?"
I heard someone's respectful voice.
"Send him to the hospital first, then check to see what news he has released about Nangong Rongyue, preserve the evidence, and send him in."
"Yes."
"Search the entire internet for anything related to Rong Yue. Delete everything from the publishing platform. Otherwise, I will hold the platform responsible. Anyone who disobeys will be killed. I don't want to see who dares to go against the Gong Yi family and the Li family!"
"Okay, I'll send someone to do it right away."
"Find someone to clean this place up, the sooner the better!"
"Yes."
"It's okay." Li Xin stroked my head.
"Ouch, your hand is injured. Come on, come into the house and take care of it."
"Grandma, this little injury is nothing!" Li Xin's tone softened a lot.
I stood up and looked at Li Xin's hand.
"It's okay, just a small problem."
Li Xin held my face with both hands and wiped my tears. "Did you get scared?"
I raised my hand and grabbed his injured hand. I saw that his fair hand was all scratched and swollen.
I couldn't stop crying anymore.
"Okay, okay, I'm fine! Don't cry! Be obedient." Li Xin lowered his head and moved closer to me, as if he was coaxing a child.
"What...what happened? Oh my? Grandma Rongyue, this isn't...what happened?!"
People passing by me, familiar voices.
I lowered my head and turned my face away so that the neighbors wouldn't see me.
"Oh, you're back..." grandma responded.
"Who... who did this offend? Why did you mess up the corridor like this? What is written here? Oh, what is written here... who did Rongyue offend?"
“Oh…no…no…” Grandma tried her best to explain.
"Clean it up quickly, it's scary, it won't be good if someone sees it!"
"Oh! I'll clean it up right away!" Grandma replied.
"Rongyue is the same. She has been naughty since she was young. Is she still like this now that she has grown up? Think more about your grandma! Don't offend any bad people! How old is your grandma? How can she bear it! Really..."
"Rongyue, don't worry about it!" Li Xin said in a very firm tone.
"Oh, I'm concerned too... I'm concerned... We're all neighbors. I'm going home now! Grandma Rongyue, hurry up and pack up."
"Oh! Okay!" Grandma sighed.
I looked back at the wall in the corridor.
"Go into the house, someone will clean up soon. Grandma, you go back too, my people will be here soon." Li Xin blocked my view and pulled me and grandma into the house.
"Well..." Grandma hesitated.
"Grandma, you can just call me Xiaoxin. That's what the elders call me." Li Xin's tone became gentle again.
"Hey! Xiaoxin, go wash your hands first, and then let Rongyue apply some medicine on you to avoid infection."
"Okay!" Li Xin walked into the bathroom.
"You, who did you offend this time? Why did those people say that about you! Do you know how harsh their words are?" Grandma frowned and looked at me.
I didn't know how to explain it for a moment.
"Where's Mo Chen? Why haven't I seen him recently? If you come back to live here, why doesn't Mo Chen come to pick you up?"
"Grandma, Mo Chen went abroad. He has some things to do and can't come back for the time being..." Li Xin looked at his grandma.
Grandma looked at Li Xin in confusion.
I looked at my grandmother and said, "He won't come. We are divorced."
"What?!" Grandma looked at me in surprise. "Why?!"
I looked at my grandmother. I couldn't tell her the truth. Mo Chen and I had already separated. This was an established fact. I couldn't let my grandmother know that her son and daughter-in-law were such bad people. She wouldn't believe it, but she would be upset because of what I said.
"Speak up!" Grandma shook me. "Could it be that what they said, that you seduced other men, is this true?"
I lowered my eyes, not knowing what reason to give. Now is the right time, so I don't need to think about it.
"Speak up! Is this true?!"
Grandma's eyes changed from confusion to anger.
Grandma raised her hand.
"Grandma!" Li Xin grabbed her grandmother's hand. "Grandma, no, Rongyue didn't do those things..."
"Then, those photos in people's phones! Where did they come from! Are those of you? Could those photos be fake?" Grandma pointed at me.
I nodded, "It's me..."
"That's right, I was with someone else...so I divorced him."
"You!! Who was the one who insisted on being with him not long ago? We asked you two to divorce but you refused. Now you say you are suddenly getting together with someone else! You!" Grandma pulled my clothes and shook me.
"Tell me the truth, why! Why are you getting a divorce?"
"Grandma, don't hit Rongyue. There is a misunderstanding here. You watched Rongyue grow up! You know best that she is not that kind of person!" Li Xin persuaded his grandmother.
"I am, I am pregnant with someone else's child...so..."
"What did you say?!" Grandma looked at me in shock.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Li Xin frowned and looked at me.
"I'm not talking nonsense, this child is not Gong Yi Mo Chen's, and has nothing to do with Gong Yi's family! That's why I divorced Mo Chen! That's it!" I looked at Li Xin firmly.
"You!" Grandma pointed at me, her eyes red with anger. "Is that what I taught you?! You!"
Grandma looked around and went to the kitchen to pick up a broom.
"Grandma, listen to me, this is all Rongyue's nonsense." Li Xin blocked grandma.
"Get out of the way!" Grandma walked past Li Xin who was blocking her way. "It's ok that you usually like to make trouble! But you can do something like this!"
Grandma waved the broom.
I knelt down and looked at my grandmother. “Grandma, you can be angry or hit me, but Mo Chen and I have already divorced because I want to keep this child.”
“…!” Grandma was so angry that she gasped and threw the broom in her hand at me.
"Nangong Rongyue, shut up!" Li Xin looked back at me angrily.
"Why are you keeping this child? Ah! Are you crazy?" Grandma yelled, "Go and beat him up now!"
I shook my head, "I won't go! I must give birth to the baby!"
"You!" Grandma picked up the bowl next to her and threw it on my head.
I covered my head and felt a sharp pain where the bowl hit me, and then the pain spread.
Then several bowls and plates fell on me and broke on the ground.
"How could I teach you such a thing!"
"It's fine if you're always wilful and naughty! How can you be so shameless!"
"Grandma, don't get excited, the child is Mo Chen's... Rongyue lied to you..." Li Xin stopped grandma and explained to her.
"Don't speak for her. If the child is Mo Chen's, will Gong Yi's family still let them divorce? I may be old, but I'm not confused! Get out of the way! I must teach this damn girl a lesson today!"
"You've always been able to get into trouble since you were little, and now you're capable of doing something like this! Are you trying to piss me off to death?"
I covered my head to block the things my grandma threw at me.
Suddenly my stomach started to churn.
I got up and ran to the bathroom.
