You tricked me into raising your son? You'll divorce me and become my aunt.

Fu Tingchen has a business dinner tonight and won't be back until very late.

The servants also took a break.

There are only the two of them here now.

Without an audience, Bai Xinyao naturally no longer needed to pretend.

She smiled defiantly. "Yeah, that's right. I was the one who provoked it. So what?"

A chill ran through Ruan Ning's eyes.

Why did you provoke it?

Bai Xinyao laughed out loud, as if she had heard a funny joke.

"Ruan Ning, can you please stop asking such a ridiculous question? It's just an animal, I can do whatever I want with it. I not only provoked it, I also hit it. Blame it for having such a jerk of an owner, it deserved to be beaten."

Bai Xinyao pressed on: "Can't you see? Tingchen only has me in his heart. He cherishes me and favors me. Don't say the surveillance camera is broken. Even if it wasn't broken, so what? Even if he knows I hit your cat, so what?"

"Do you think he'll help you and trust you?"

She raised her chin, a triumphant look on her face. "He won't. He'll only unconditionally believe in me and favor me!"

Ruan Ningjing looked at her quietly.

"You're so proud of yourself for playing the victim to gain sympathy and for scheming to steal everything from others?"

"So what if I'm smug?" Bai Xinyao said without any restraint. "At least I won."

"So what if you married into this family with your head held high? Three years of marriage, what have you gained? Has Fu Tingchen even given you a second glance?"

Ruan Ning remained silent for a moment.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Bai Xinyao became even more emboldened.

"You know perfectly well that he's never loved you, so why do you insist on clinging to the past and refusing to divorce? Occupying the position of Mrs. Fu only torments yourself and annoys us all. What's the point?"

"What can you do if I don't get a divorce?" Ruan Ning smiled.

She would never tell Bai Xinyao that Fu Tingchen had already signed the divorce agreement.

She just wanted to see Bai Xinyao act desperately.

Bai Xinyao said fiercely, "If you let go sooner, everyone will have more dignity. If you stay and refuse to leave, it will only make Tingchen more and more annoyed with you."

"Whether he's tired of me or not, I don't care," Ruan Ning laughed. "But you, you're always watching my position, scheming and plotting. Aren't you tired?"

"Tired?" Bai Xinyao sneered. "Even if I'm tired, it's still better than you being stuck in a marriage in name only, suffering endless grievances."

"I will get what I want, and you can only watch helplessly as I take everything you have away from you, bit by bit."

Ruan Ning smiled. "You just want to use my cat to force me to divorce you, right?"

Bai Xinyao said smugly, "Yes, I want you to see the difference between you and me. When I suffer a minor injury, Tingchen immediately feels distressed and anxious, and then he scolds you. Ruan Ning, don't you understand? In this family, you will always lose to me."

Ruan Ning: "This is the first time I've seen a third party act so self-righteously."

Bai Xinyao declared fiercely, "In a relationship, the one who isn't loved is the third party!"

"As long as you don't get a divorce, I won't let you have a moment's peace. This cat is just the beginning; there will be countless other things that will make you suffer in the future."

Ruan Ning sneered, "Is that so?"

Bai Xinyao glanced at her contemptuously and snorted coldly: "If you've figured it out, get lost now, or I'll do something even more ruthless next time."

After saying that, she didn't look at Ruan Ning again and turned away haughtily.

At that very moment, when she had her back to Ruan Ning and was off guard.

Ruan Ning raised her hand and pushed her without hesitation.

Bai Xinyao suddenly lost her balance, let out a scream, and tumbled down the steps.

A series of dull thuds echoed.

Bai Xinyao rolled downstairs, trembling with pain.

Upstairs, Ruan Ningjing stood quietly, looking down coldly.

Bai Xinyao lay on the ground, weakly moaning in pain, "Ruan Ning, you're a madwoman... I... I'm going to call the police..."

-

"Fu Tingchen, why are you stopping me! I'm calling the police! Ruan Ning pushed me down the stairs! Let go of me, I'm calling the police!"

"Have you fallen for her? You have! You're actually protecting her!"

"Waaaaah..."

In the hospital ward, Bai Xinyao made a scene and threatened to call the police, but Fu Tingchen stopped her and she started sobbing.

Fu Tingchen gripped her phone, watching the woman cry until her voice was hoarse, and his heart ached along with hers.

However, when he heard Bai Xinyao say she was going to call the police to arrest Ruan Ning, he instinctively snatched her phone to stop her.

When he realized what was happening, he was stunned.

What is he doing?

Fu Tingchen sighed, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Listen to me..."

"I know you don't like Ruan Ning, but no matter what, she is my wife and the young mistress of the Fu family. I know her personality best; she has always been gentle and sensible. She would never push you down the stairs."

"Xinyao, I used to turn a blind eye to your jealousy and trouble with her, and I always chose you over her. You need to know when to stop."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xinyao stopped crying and looked up at him.

The woman, her face streaked with tears, cried out in disbelief, "What do you mean? You don't believe me?"

"Xinyao, that's enough. Ruan Ning isn't that kind of person."

Fu Tingchen rubbed his temples with slight annoyance, looking exhausted.

"Fu Tingchen, you bastard! You believe her but not me? You bastard, you bastard!" Bai Xinyao grabbed a pillow and threw it at Fu Tingchen like a madwoman.

"You've fallen for her, you liar! You promised you'd wait for me to come back, waaaaah, how could you do this to me..."

"You've changed! You've changed your mind! Fu Tingchen, you've let me down!"

Fu Tingchen let Bai Xinyao go crazy, his eyes unfocused and lost in thought, but his mind was on Ruan Ning.

Has he really fallen for her...?

That can't be right.

What did he like about a woman like her who didn't care about dressing up and didn't have any special talents?

Fu Tingchen reached out and pulled Bai Xinyao into his arms, gently patting her back and coaxing her softly, "Xinyao, I haven't changed my mind. It's just that Ruan Ning is now the nominal young mistress of the Fu family. If you call the police to arrest her, it will not have a good impact on the Fu family. Your parents and grandparents will not agree to it either."

Bai Xinyao gradually calmed down.

Also.

She was so excited that she forgot about the Fu family.

If she impulsively called the police and Fu Tingchen's parents found out, their impression of her would definitely be even worse.

Jin Manrong, in particular, didn't like her to begin with.

Bai Xinyao sniffed, her voice still trembling with tears: "Then make her apologize to me privately."

"it is good."
