After the divorce, he went on a motorcycle trip, and his ex-wife and daughter were filled with regre

Hearing Gu Ziming's distorted and illogical statement, Shen Qinghan was stunned.

Looking at the man kneeling on the ground, weeping bitterly, a subtle wavering appeared in her anger.

Gu Ziming did lie to her, and he did steal Jiang Ye's gift. However, what he said seemed to make some sense. He had no money, but he had a heart that loved her; he just used the wrong methods.

In contrast, although Jiang Ye was wealthy and the owner of Kunlun Capital, he watched helplessly as the Shen Group fell into crisis and even ruthlessly withdrew his investment in the M country project.

Jiang Ye is rich, but he doesn't love her anymore.

Gu Ziming had no money, but he was willing to humble himself and make mistakes for her.

Just as Shen Qinghan was struggling with her inner conflict, Gu Ziming keenly noticed the hesitation in her eyes.

He knew the time was right; it was time to unleash his trump card.

Gu Ziming stood up, wiped away his tears, and looked at Shen Qinghan, his tone suddenly becoming serious: "Qinghan, I admit I lied to you about this. But do you really think Jiang Ye is a perfect, flawless man? Do you really think that your divorce from him was entirely my fault?"

Shen Qinghan frowned: "What do you mean?"

"Have you forgotten about Jiang Ye's affair with prostitutes?!" Gu Ziming said, each word distinct, as if dropping a bombshell.

Shen Qinghan's body stiffened abruptly, and his face instantly turned ugly.

Prostitute.

These two words were like a thorny poison, piercing deeply into Shen Qinghan's nerves.

That happened two years ago.

That night, Shen Qinghan was in Country M.

Jiang Ye texted Shen Qinghan saying he was going to get a pedicure, but in the middle of the night, Shen Qinghan received a call from the police station.

The police officer coldly told her over the phone that Jiang Ye had been caught red-handed at a bathhouse for allegedly soliciting prostitution, and that she should bring her ID card and a fine to the police station to pick him up.

Shen Qinghan will never forget the humiliation of that night.

Later, Gu Ziming said that he used his so-called "connections" and spent a lot of money to suppress the matter, prevent it from being exposed by the media, and save face for the Shen family.

Afterwards, Gu Ziming even "thoughtfully" comforted her: "Qinghan, let's just let this go. Men, when they're drunk, they inevitably make mistakes. I've already had someone cover up the records. And you must never mention this in front of Jiang Ye again, it's too disgraceful. Men care about their reputation. If you keep bringing this up to provoke him and push him too far, he might talk nonsense outside, which would be bad for your reputation and the reputation of the Shen Group."

Shen Qinghan believed Gu Ziming's words.

For the sake of the Shen family's reputation and her own pride, she kept the matter buried deep inside and never confronted Jiang Ye again.

However, not speaking out does not mean that forgiveness is possible.

From then on, Shen Qinghan felt that Jiang Ye was utterly filthy.

She never let Jiang Ye touch her again, not even a hair on her head. She felt disgusted by the clothes he washed or the food he cooked. If Jiang Ye got even slightly close to her at home, she would instinctively frown and move away.

This was also the most direct trigger that led to the complete breakdown of their marital relationship.

Even now, thinking back on it, Shen Qinghan still feels a churning in her stomach.

......

"Qinghan, wake up!"

Seeing Shen Qinghan's pale face, Gu Ziming continued to embellish the story, saying, "Although I, Gu Ziming, am poor and vain, my feelings for you are pure and innocent! I have never had any illicit relationships with other women!"

"But what about Jiang Ye? He pretends to be honest and simple on the surface, but behind the scenes he goes to those filthy places to find prostitutes! He was caught red-handed by the police, causing a huge scandal and bringing shame to your Shen family!"

Gu Ziming sneered: "Have you noticed lately that he's the behind-the-scenes boss of Kunlun Capital? Heh, that makes even more sense! No wonder he dared to go to prostitutes back then; it turns out he's always had a ton of money in his hands! 'Men with money become bad,' that saying is absolutely true! Jiang Ye is a filthy, despicable hypocrite at heart!"

Gu Ziming's words struck Shen Qinghan's weak spot.

Yes.

Jiang Ye is the owner of Kunlun Capital, and he holds hundreds of billions of yuan in funds.

With all that money, how could he possibly be content to be a doormat in the Shen family? He's probably already out there living a life of debauchery and pleasure!

No wonder he was able to hang other women's underwear on the balcony of his apartment so confidently today.

No wonder he was so cold and ruthless in kicking her out.

It turns out, he had already turned bad!

Shen Qinghan frantically tried to find excuses for herself. She needed a reason, a reason that could prove she hadn't made a mistake in getting a divorce.

Jiang Ye's stain of "prostitution," coupled with his current status as a "rich man," perfectly matched her psychological defense mechanism.

"Yes...you're right..."

Shen Qinghan muttered to herself, her eyes gradually hardening. "Jiang Ye is a filthy bastard! No matter how rich he is, he's still a piece of trash who can't control his lust! Divorcing him was the right choice!"

She forced herself to forget the years of Jiang Ye's silent dedication, forced herself to forget the withdrawal of investment from the M country project, and focused all her hatred and disgust on the "prostitution scandal".

Only in this way will she not feel like a fool who lost the watermelon for a sesame seed.

Seeing that Shen Qinghan had been successfully brainwashed, Gu Ziming secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and a hint of smugness appeared on his lips.

He stepped forward, wanting to hug Shen Qinghan again: "Qinghan, let bygones be bygones. Jiang Ye is a scumbag, he's not worth your sadness. From now on, I'll take good care of you and Xinyu..."

However, Gu Ziming's hand had not yet touched Shen Qinghan's shoulder.

Shen Qinghan's expression suddenly changed.

A strong acidic liquid rushed from my stomach straight to my throat.

"vomit--!"

Shen Qinghan shoved Gu Ziming away abruptly, covered her mouth, and stumbled into the nearby first-floor restroom.

The door slammed shut.

Violent vomiting sounds came from the bathroom.

Gu Ziming stood there, his brows furrowing slightly.

Inside the restroom.

Shen Qinghan was leaning over the toilet, vomiting violently, almost bringing up bile.

After finally stopping the vomiting, she weakly stood up, walked to the sink, and rinsed her mouth with the tap.

Looking at her pale and haggard reflection in the mirror, a thought suddenly flashed through Shen Qinghan's mind.

Her period seems to be almost half a month late.

During this period, she was so busy with company matters and her divorce from Jiang Ye that she didn't notice anything unusual about her body.

Add to that familiar feeling of nausea and vomiting...

Shen Qinghan's heart skipped a beat.

She quickly pulled open the drawer under the sink and pulled out an unopened pregnancy test from the very back. She had kept one at home just in case.

Five minutes later.

Shen Qinghan sat blankly on the toilet seat, clutching the pregnancy test stick tightly in her hand.

In the display window, two red bars, their redness glaringly obvious.

pregnant.

She's pregnant!

Shen Qinghan's mind went blank.

Since the "prostitution" incident two years ago, she and Jiang Ye have not had any marital relations.

Therefore, this child is undoubtedly Gu Zimo's.

But... how could I be pregnant?

Shen Qinghan's face was filled with disbelief. Although she and Gu Ziming had crossed that line, she had always been very cautious. Every time she had a relationship with Gu Ziming, she strictly required him to take protective measures, and she never missed a single one.

How could she possibly be pregnant?!

Shen Qinghan suddenly stood up, flung open the bathroom door, and rushed out.
