Shen Zhiyi's strength was immense; his hand went numb after the blow.

Su Manman, on the other hand, was naturally having an even worse time.

Her entire face swelled up instantly.

She clearly hadn't expected Shen Zhiyi to dare hit her in front of Xu Zhesheng and her in-laws. A look of astonishment flashed across her face, but she quickly recovered and stumbled backward.

Her back was directly facing the sharp corner of the dining table; if she had bumped into it, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Manman!"

The voices of the three people inside the room rang out simultaneously.

Zhang Feng and Xu Zhi rushed over, afraid that Su Manman would fall or bump into something.

Xu Zhesheng's usually calm face now showed a hint of panic.

He rushed over and helped Su Manman up. After making sure she was steady, he subconsciously turned around and glanced at Shen Zhiyi.

That glance was so brief, so fleeting, that it was almost impossible to catch.

But Shen Zhiyi saw it.

There was something in his eyes that she couldn't understand.

It wasn't anger, it wasn't blame, it was more like... disappointment.

It's as if it's saying to her: You shouldn't be like this.

Su Manman's face turned pale with fright, cold sweat poured down her back, and she cried as she tightly gripped Xu Zhesheng's hand, who had rushed over:

"Zhe, Zhe, check if I'm alright? I'm so scared, what if I hurt the baby?"

After saying that, she looked at Shen Zhiyi again, tears streaming down her face: "Sister Zhiyi, I know you hold a grudge against me. You can hit me or scold me however you want after I give birth, but I have a baby now, and she is innocent!"

"You're pushing so hard, what if I accidentally bump into something! You can't take your anger out on my child just because you can't have one yourself..."

"How can I feel at ease entrusting my child to your care if you treat him like this?"

"Ah Zhe, I think I should take the child with me and leave. I can raise her on my own, so don't worry."

Having said that, Su Manman struggled to get up. Half of her face was red and swollen, and her hair was messy and stuck to her face, giving her a resolute look.

The child in her belly was a precious treasure that the Xu family had longed for for many years. Zhang Feng was both anxious and angry. She quickly stepped forward and grabbed her, then raised her hand in a fit of rage and slapped Shen Zhiyi hard.

"Snap"

Shen Zhiyi received a solid slap.

Zhang Feng used to be a farmer and often worked in the fields, so he was naturally strong. This time, he hit her with all his might. In an instant, Shen Zhiyi felt a burning pain on the left side of her face, and even her left ear started to ring. She tasted a faint metallic rust on her lips and only realized that she was bleeding when she gently wiped them with her finger.

"Shen Zhiyi! Have you gone too far?!"

"Married for five years, and her belly hasn't grown at all! Manman is willing to have a child for Azhe; that's a blessing you couldn't have earned in your past life!"

"Ah Zhe is soft-hearted. I gave you 500 million for free and you're still not satisfied! I've given you a title and let you live your life! What more could you possibly want?"

"Let me tell you! If Zhe absolutely had to choose one, our family would definitely choose Manman!"

"Apologize to Manman right now!"

Zhang Feng pointed at Shen Zhiyi, spewing out one vicious truth after another.

"mom!"

Seeing Shen Zhiyi being hit, Xu Zhesheng suddenly stood up, the chair leg scraping against the floor with a piercing sound.

He saw the blood at the corner of Shen Zhiyi's mouth, his pupils contracted, and he subconsciously raised his hand as if to touch her face.

But his hand, halfway out, froze in mid-air.

He glanced at Su Manman beside him, then at his mother, and finally his hand fell to his sides, clenching into a fist.

"You've gone too far."

His voice was low, as if he was trying his best to restrain himself.

"Ah Zhe! Are you crazy?! Shen Zhiyi almost hurt Manman and the baby in Manman's belly! How can you still speak up for her?!"

Zhang Feng glared at her son with dissatisfaction: "Shen Zhiyi has been married to you for so many years and still can't have a child. I think there's something wrong with her body!"

"We've had her checked, and there's nothing wrong with her health."

Xu Zhesheng stated the facts.

Over the years, Zhang Feng has made a lot of noise about the child. In order to dispel her concerns, the two of them went to the hospital for examinations many times, but the results were all normal. It seems that the timing was indeed wrong.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Feng immediately laughed: "Ah Zhe, you're just too naive."

"Shen Zhiyi's best friend is a doctor at the hospital. She can do things just by making a request. Otherwise, how could someone who's perfectly healthy be unable to conceive, while you and Manman were able to get pregnant?"

"I think she's the one with the problem! You need to come over right now!"

Zhang Feng stepped forward, pulled Xu Zhesheng over, and pushed him to Su Manman's side. Looking at this handsome couple, she felt more and more pleased.

Shen Zhiyi has a heavy makeup look. Although she is pretty, every smile and frown of hers has a seductive quality, like a vixen. She didn't like her at first sight.

Su Manman, on the other hand, was like a girl from a modest family, with delicate features. She looked like a well-behaved and sensible person. In addition, she was willing to have a child for the Xu family even before marrying Xu Zhesheng. She must love Zhesheng to death! She couldn't let her go!

Zhang Feng felt increasingly satisfied as she thought about it, and pointed at Shen Zhiyi, shouting, "Hurry up! Apologize to Manman! You have to give way to her during these days before she gives birth! Also, have your best friend prescribe her some calming and pregnancy-supporting medicine! Since you'll be free after she gives birth, come and take care of her during her postpartum period!"

"You got a child without even experiencing the hardships of ten months of pregnancy and childbirth; this is what you should have done!"

Shen Zhiyi's ears were still ringing, but even so, she clearly heard Zhang Feng's words.

She rolled her eyes at the people in front of her. Zhang Feng held her head high like a rooster full of fighting spirit. Su Manman huddled in the corner, looking pitiful, but her eyes were full of smugness. Xu Zhi remained silent, but his attitude had already sided with Su Manman.

Xu Zhesheng, who had been married to her for five years, frowned as if he was thinking about Zhang Feng's words. His gaze was filled with suspicion, and he did not stop Zhang Feng from making unreasonable demands.

Xu Zhesheng was naturally sensitive and suspicious. Shen Zhiyi knew that he had believed Zhang Feng's claim that she had asked her best friend to tamper with the test results.

The more Shen Zhiyi thought about it, the more ridiculous it seemed, and she couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

She recalled the scene five years ago when she received that medical report.

The report clearly stated: Xu Zhesheng has low sperm motility and an extremely low probability of conceiving naturally.

Her first reaction wasn't anger, but heartache.

She was afraid he wouldn't be able to accept it, afraid his self-esteem would be hurt, and afraid this would become a lifelong regret for him.

So she asked her best friend Tan Gui to alter a fake report.

Change "his problem" to "both parties are normal".

She thought it was protection.

She shouldered all the pressure alone: ​​her mother-in-law's disdain, relatives' gossip, and five years' worth of Chinese medicine.

She never imagined that one day he would look at her with suspicion.

She did indeed tamper with the test results.

But what they didn't know was that she was never the one who couldn't have children.

It was Hsu Che-sheng.
