Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
A party was held for celebrating the fiftieth birthday of a big shot who was on the list of top ten powerful figures in the commercial area.
Su Yu was invited to this party. As soon as she appeared in her glorious dress, half of the guests were attracted by her and ran over to chat.
“Hello, how are you, I’m the CEO of Wang Corporation. Would you like to have a drink with me?”
“I’m the son of the chairman of Hai Corporation. May I make friends with you?”
“Hello, I’m…”
Groups of people surrounded Su Yu. Her impressive figure and haute couture were very eye-catching.
This made Chu Yaoyao, who was also invited, a little jealous.
A person that was worse than a servant, suddenly became the most popular person at the party. What a joke!
What made Chu Yaoyao even more jealous was that Fu Yunian’s gaze was fixed on Su Yu from the moment she walked in.
As she looked at Su Yu’s slightly bulging belly, Chu Yaoyao felt like the crowd was blind. She already had a child, yet they were still hitting on her.
Fu Yunian also noticed her bulging belly and raised his eyebrows. When he saw that she was in a difficult position because she was surrounded by too many people, he immediately went forward and pulled her to a quiet corner. He didn’t know why he would do this.

Regardless of whether she agreed or not, he immediately took off his jacket and placed it on her shoulder.

“What are you doing?” Su Yu glanced at his jacket and felt a little disgusted.
Since they had nothing to do with each other, then what she wore had nothing to do with him. So, why did he have to act like a gentleman?
If she had known that she would run into Fu Yunian here, she wouldn’t have attended.
“You… didn’t you have an abortion?” Fu Yunian stared at her slightly bulging belly. He didn’t know whether to be happy or unhappy.
When he asked about the child, Su Yu couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him, “What does it have to do with you?”
Even if he didn’t agree, she had already decided to give birth to the child.
Seeing her bad attitude, Fu Yunian also got angry. He immediately retorted, “Don’t tell me you want to use the child to extort money!”

These words made Su Yu’s heart ache. In his eyes, her love for him had always been for money!
At this thought, she couldn’t help but smile bitterly. She held back her sadness and pretended to be calm, “I’m sorry, Mr. Fu, I think you’ve misunderstood. Who said the child is yours?”
Since he didn’t want to be the father of the child, then the child had nothing to do with him.
Su Yu’s confident and decisive reply shocked him. He looked at her belly in disbelief, he asked, “Don’t tell me you had an abortion and then get pregnant with another man’s child in the past few months.”
He couldn’t believe that the woman who had tried to please him and loved him had left him and gotten pregnant with another man in just a few months!
Su Yu liked to see him suffer, so she immediately asked provocatively, “Why not?”
1
Back when they were still together, he had a close relationship with Chu Yaoyao, but she didn’t say anything. Even if she did have something with another man, it had nothing to do with him!
“You!” Fu Yunian was struck dumb by her retort. All he could do was stare at her furiously.
Su Yu did not want to have anything to do with him anymore. So, she turned around and walked towards the crowd, leaving him alone in a corner, burning with a low blue flame.
Chu Yaoyao watched the entire scene from the beginning to the end, including the scene in which Fu Yunian considerately covered her with a jacket. These small details stirred up Chu Yaoyao’s hatred towards Su Yu. She got a new idea.
She pulled a waiter to a corner and pulled out something from her pocket and handed it over.
Amongst the crowd, Su Yu was quite popular. Quite a lot of people toasted her but because she was pregnant, she took fruit juice instead.
Just as the waiter was handing her a new glass, the waiter’s hand slipped and the fruit juice in the glass dyed Su Yu’s white dress red.
“I’m sorry! I didn’t do it on purpose. Don’t tell my boss! This is my first time here!” The waiter looked terrified as if he had done something terribly wrong.
Su Yu was soft-hearted. She knew how difficult it was for the waiters, so she did not get angry. Instead, she smiled at the waiter and said gently, “It’s fine. Do you have any empty rooms? Send me a clean set of clothes and I’ll change.”

Seeing that Su Yu forgave him, the waiter let out a sigh of relief and immediately said, “There’s an empty room upstairs. If you don’t mind, you can go upstairs and change. I’ll take you there.”
“Sure, I can take a break there.” Su Yu had long been annoyed by the group of entrepreneurs trying to hit on her, but due to their business relationship, she could only force herself to chat with them.
It wasn’t easy for her to find an excuse to leave, so she was extremely happy now.
Inside the hall, everyone was still mingling around when suddenly, black smoke began to rise and the crowd got agitated.
“There’s a fire! Everyone, hurry up and leave!” Someone yelled as the originally cheerful crowd began to evacuate. The fire was extremely fierce and was about to set the entire hall on fire.
Fu Yunian originally wanted to leave with the others, but his sharp eyes noticed that Su Yu was not in sight.
He thought, Su Yu was just chatting with everyone in the crowd, she couldn’t have left so quickly!
“Have you seen Su Yu? Ms. Su of the Yuyue Corporation!”
“Have you seen Su Yu?”
He asked the crowd one by one, but he couldn’t get an answer. As he looked at the smoke-filled hall, Fu Yunian did not hesitate to wet his jacket and rush in.
1
The hall was completely empty, forcing him to run up to the second floor. When he heard the sound of knocking coming from a room in the distance, he rushed to it without hesitation and kicked open the door.
The person inside was Su Yu, who was almost on the blink. As he picked her up and prepared to leave, he did not forget to look at the keyhole. She was locked inside!

Seeing that she was almost unconscious, Fu Yunian panicked and covered her with his wet jacket, “Su Yu, hang in there. I’m going to take you out right now.”
He carried Su Yu in his arms and rushed out of the door, ignoring the heat.
When Su Yu opened her eyes again, she was in the hospital with 8 pairs of large eyes staring at her.
“Oh my god, you’re finally awake! You scared me to death!” When Zhan Xin saw her daughter wake up, her originally red and swollen eyes began to tear up again.
The eyes of her brothers were also red and swollen. It was obvious that they had all cried.
“Brothers, father, mother, what’s wrong? Why are you all crying?”
She wanted to raise her hand to wipe Zhan Xin’s tears away, but her arm didn’t have any strength at all. Even when she spoke, she was extremely tired.
When the few of them saw the situation, they hurriedly opened their mouths to stop her. “Don’t move! What you need now is rest! Do you know that this time, when you were in trouble, you almost lost your child? If you still don’t pay attention, what will happen to the little baby?”
Zhan Xin wiped her tears as she spoke, feeling very sorry for her daughter.
