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

Ruan Ning had just finished her work and stepped out of the lab when she saw more than a dozen missed calls on her phone.

Three of them were from Fu Tingchen.

The remaining thirteen were all beaten by her kind mother-in-law, Jin Manrong.

What happened?

Just as Ruan Ning was about to call Jin Manrong back, Jin Manrong called.

She answered the phone, and Jin Manrong immediately launched into a tirade of abuse.

"Ruan Ning, there are still three days until our agreed time. What kind of trouble are you causing me at this crucial moment?"

Ruan Ning said impatiently, "Explain yourself clearly. What did I do wrong?"

"Did you leak the news about the trending topic?" Jin Manrong asked angrily.

As Ruan Ning listened, she picked up her phone and glanced at the trending topics.

Oh, so it turns out that someone has brought up the incident of Fu Tingchen assaulting someone before.

Ruan Ning glanced at the document quickly.

This revelation contains a lot more information.

Bai Xinyao's figure had appeared in a video taken by a passerby.

Previously, the Fu family asked Ruan Ning to come forward and clarify the situation.

This revelation has exposed Bai Xinyao's true identity.

There are also more scenes of Bai Xinyao and Fu Tingchen together on ordinary days.

When they attend parties, banquets, or shopping malls, they are always seen holding hands; even a blind person could tell what their relationship is.

The comments section is buzzing.

Everyone was cursing the mistress for being shameless, Fu Tingchen for being a scumbag, and some even sympathized with Mrs. Fu.

Of course, some people questioned why Mrs. Fu had to step forward to clarify things for the two adulterers last time.

Some say it's for the money.

Some say that being a daughter-in-law in a wealthy family is not easy; one can only swallow one's anger and bear the pain silently.

On the phone, Jin Manrong was still angrily scolding him.

Ruan Ning's patience ran out, and she coldly said, "I didn't do it, Madam Fu. Please use your brain and think about it carefully. If I really leaked this, would I only leak this little bit? I've waited so long, can't I wait three days?"

Jin Manrong knew in her heart that it probably wasn't Ruan Ning.

But she was feeling really angry and just wanted to vent to someone.

Ruan Ning used to be a pushover that she could easily manipulate.

When this incident happened, her first instinct was to call and yell at Ruan Ning.

Who knew Ruan Ning would dare to talk to her like that now?

"Ruan Ning, how dare you speak to me like that!"

Jin Manrong grew even angrier, her voice rising several octaves as she commanded, "Go back to the old house right now!"

Ruan Ning ignored her, slammed the phone down, and blacklisted her number.

Jin Manrong was furious when she saw the call end. She immediately tried to call back to continue scolding Ruan Ning, but she couldn't get through no matter what she did.

Knowing that Ruan Ning had blacklisted her, Jin Manrong angrily slammed her phone to the ground, cursing under her breath, completely losing any semblance of a wealthy lady.

Fu Tingchen and Bai Xinyao saw this scene as soon as they got home.

Bai Xinyao was so frightened that she shrank behind Fu Tingchen.

Fu Tingchen frowned and walked over. "Mom, calm down. It's just a trending topic. There's no need to get so angry. Just let the PR department handle it."

"Can't you just give me a break!" Jin Manrong was furious. "Do you really have to be with Bai Xinyao all the time? Can't you at least avoid suspicion?"

Fu Tingchen rubbed his nose, looking exasperated, and patiently explained, "Those videos and photos online are from the past. I haven't been spending much time with Xinyao lately."

Jin Manrong said angrily, "I don't care if you're close to her now, she has to leave Haicheng. I'll send her away tomorrow!"

Fu Tingchen was puzzled. "Why do we have to send her away? This matter isn't unmanageable."

Upon hearing that Jin Manrong wanted to send her away, Bai Xinyao immediately panicked: "Auntie, I don't want to leave Haicheng! Please don't send me away! I promise I'll keep my distance from Tingchen from now on! Please don't send me away!"

"Shut up!" Jin Manrong was truly furious. Pointing her finger at Bai Xinyao's nose, she said, "You'd better sever all ties with Tingchen right now! Don't think I don't know what you're up to. You're just a nanny's daughter, yet you dare to dream of marrying Tingchen and becoming the young mistress of the Fu family."

"I'm telling you today, it's impossible! You will never marry into the Fu family in your entire life!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Xinyao's face turned pale, and she swayed as if about to collapse.

She gripped Fu Tingchen's arm tightly, sobbing uncontrollably, "Tingchen, Tingchen, I don't want to go, please help me, I don't want to leave you, I don't want to leave Haicheng."

"Let go of me!" Jin Manrong saw Bai Xinyao holding Fu Tingchen's hand and pretending to be pitiful, and she was so angry that she slapped her hand away.

"If you keep this up, I'll send your mother away too! Over the years, the Fu family has treated you and your mother incredibly well. I paid for your cousin's wedding house and car, and the Fu family also paid for the bride price. I paid for all the expenses for your mother's surgery a few years ago, and the Fu family has covered all your expenses while you were studying abroad all these years. And you're still not satisfied!"

Jin Manrong glared coldly at Bai Xinyao, her eyes filled with disdain. "After all these years, your shameful thoughts are still written all over your face. You're truly despicable!"

Bai Xinyao was humiliated beyond repair.

It felt like she had returned to nine years ago when she was newly pregnant, and Jin Manrong had humiliated her in the same way.

Jin Manrong glared at Bai Xinyao and said angrily, "I've already had someone buy you a plane ticket to the US for 8 a.m. tomorrow. You'd better get far away and never come back!"

"Tingchen, say something!" Bai Xinyao looked at Fu Tingchen pleadingly, her face covered in tears.

Fu Tingchen frowned, his face tense, and after thinking for a few seconds, he said, "Xinyao, you...you should listen to my mother's arrangements first."

"Boom—" Bai Xinyao's world collapsed.

She looked at Fu Tingchen in disbelief. "You want me to leave too?"

"You should leave and lay low for a while, then..."

Before Fu Tingchen could finish speaking, Bai Xinyao suddenly knelt on the ground, hugging his legs and pleading desperately, "I can't come back! If I go abroad, I can't come back, you know that? Your mother won't let me come back, Tingchen, please, please help me! I don't want to leave! Don't send me abroad! After I go abroad, I'll never see you again, never see our son again! Please help me, sob sob sob..."

"Xinyao," Fu Tingchen said with difficulty, "I'm sorry..."

......

That evening, Bai Xinyao was taken to a hotel near the airport.

Two bodyguards stood at the door, watching her and preventing her from escaping.

Meanwhile, Fu Tingchen tried to call Ruan Ning but couldn't get through.

He returned to their marital home, Yunjin Residence, only to find that all of Ruan Ning's belongings were gone.

Fu Tingchen anxiously asked the maid, "Where are Madam's things?"

The maid, unaware of what was going on online and confused as to why Fu Tingchen was in such a hurry, replied, "Sir, Madam came back this afternoon to pack her luggage, saying she's going on a business trip."

"A business trip?" Fu Tingchen found it absurd.

Do I need to clean everything before going on a business trip?

Not a single pair of shoes, a single piece of clothing, or a single book was left behind.

He knew Ruan Ning would never come back.

That night, Fu Tingchen didn't sleep a wink.

He tried calling Ruan Ning many times but couldn't get through.

The text messages I sent went unanswered.

Bai Xinyao kept sending him text messages, begging him to come see her and to give her a ride.

But he only had eyes for Ruan Ning.

My mind is filled with thoughts of Ruan Ning.

Ruan Ning is gone.

She moved out of their marital home and will never come back.

Fu Tingchen slept alone in the large bedroom.

The room was dark, with no lights on and you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

He lay alone in bed, feeling a dull ache in his chest.

Ruan Ning, where did you go?
