Five years without pregnancy means you're too weak; I remarried a powerful man and had triplets

"Cough cough cough"

Although Xu Zhesheng's strength wasn't great, his sudden approach still startled Shen Zhiyi, causing her to choke on water and cough until her face turned red.

"Zhizhi!"

Seeing her like this, Xu Zhesheng quickly withdrew his hand and worriedly held her face. He was just angry, but now he was only filled with anxiety: "Are you alright? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I was just provoked by what you said. I didn't mean to hurt you."

Shen Zhiyi took a long time to catch her breath before finally raising her head, her face flushed from coughing and her eyes glistening with tears, giving her a unique and captivating appearance.

Her gaze was so cold that it almost froze Xu Zhesheng, who was standing right next to her.

"No need to apologize," she said, her voice hoarse from coughing. "You're so hypocritical. Every word you say is that you don't want to hurt me, but you always end up doing things that hurt me."

"In this world, physical harm isn't the only form of harm; sometimes, the wounds inflicted on the heart are far more severe than the external ones!"

She pushed Xu Zhesheng away, creating distance between them.

The latter seemed to be touched by her words, or perhaps stung by her attitude. The light in his eyes flickered on and off, and his hand, suspended in mid-air, clenched, but he couldn't utter a single word.

After a long silence, she finally murmured, "I'm...I'm sorry..."

Shen Zhiyi didn't answer, but urged, "Are we going to sign this contract or not? If not, I'm going back."

As she spoke, she reached for her documents at the agency.

Xu Zhesheng pursed his lips, but finally said, "Sign."

He gave the agent a look, and the agent immediately understood, smiled and took his documents, then went out to complete the formalities.

As I left, I was thinking to myself, "No wonder they're in the entertainment industry, their private lives are so messy."

Shen Zhiyi didn't want to be there, so she went to stand on the balcony by herself.

The environment in this neighborhood is really nice; even the air is filled with the fragrance of earth. She took two deep breaths, and the breath she was holding finally calmed down a bit.

Shen Ji and Xu Jing seemed to want to say something to her, but Xu Zhesheng stopped them and they were talking about something in the hall.

Shen Zhiyi had neither the time nor the desire to learn more.

What she just witnessed had completely eroded her faith in her parents and Xu Zhesheng.

Their views won't change, and neither will hers.

Whether they believe what she says is the truth or not is their business.

Shen Zhiyi destroyed the medical examination report from back then, and she can't produce it unless she takes Xu Zhesheng for another medical examination.

But judging from his confident demeanor, I doubt he'll actually do it.

Anyone who wants to be a sucker can be one; she doesn't care.

Ten minutes later, the agent came over with two transfer contracts for them to sign, and also had a red seal in his hand.

"Mr. Xu, Mrs. Xu, these are two transfer confirmation forms. Please sign them here and then put your fingerprints on them. Once that's done, the transfer of ownership of the house will be complete."

Shen Zhiyi took the contract and read it carefully. After confirming that there were no problems, she quickly signed her name in the corner, pressed her thumb firmly on it, and then stamped her name on the contract.

Xu Zhesheng seemed to have something else to say, staring at her movements while pursing his lips.

Just then, a few noisy sounds came from the doorway.

"Don't sign!"

The voice was full of energy, causing everyone in the room to turn around.

The person who came was Xu Zhesheng's mother, Zhang Feng, accompanied by Xu Zhi.

The two women rushed over, almost running, and were now leaning against the doorframe, panting heavily. Zhang Feng glared at Xu Zhesheng and asked, "Is this signed? The contract isn't finished, is it?"

Xu Zhesheng frowned. He hadn't let Zhang Feng know he was here to handle the contract today, so why was she here?

However, he still replied, "Not yet, Mom. What brings you here?"

"Why did I come here?" Zhang Feng, catching her breath, used her hands to support herself on her knees and helped herself up. She snatched the contract from Xu Zhesheng's hand and tore it to shreds. "Didn't we agree that it was just a verbal promise to Shen Zhiyi? How did you actually do it?"

"If Manman hadn't let it slip today, I wouldn't even know about this!"

"Xu Zhesheng! Do you even have a brain?! That's five hundred million!" She gestured with her hand, her voice rising, "Even you spent so much time earning this much money! You just give it away to someone else like that? Did you even think about your parents?!"

Xu Zhesheng looked somewhat embarrassed. Xu Jing and Shen Ji were still in the villa, and it was truly shameful for his mother to bring up their private conversation here.

He looked displeased and pulled his mother aside, saying, "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Zhang Feng, however, didn't see Xu Jing and Shen Ji; her eyes were only on the contract in Shen Zhiyi's hand: "How am I talking nonsense? Do you think making money is easy? You just give it to someone like that? This woman can't even lay an egg, what are you giving her for!"

"Mom and Dad... wait a minute..."

A soft call came from the doorway. Su Manman's brows furrowed anxiously, but her steps were slow and hesitant. Upon entering, she saw the scraps of paper scattered on the floor, a smug glint in her eyes. Then, looking at Xu Zhesheng, her eyes immediately welled up with tears, like a frightened little rabbit.

"Zhe, I'm sorry. I was chatting with my parents today and they asked me where you'd been. I tried to make up several excuses, but Mom saw through me, so I had no choice but to tell them this... Who knew they'd react so strongly? They just rushed over, and I couldn't stop them no matter what I did..."

She choked back tears as she discreetly peered into the room. When her eyes met Shen Zhiyi's, she raised an eyebrow. Turning her head, she saw two middle-aged men she didn't recognize. She paused for a moment, but didn't pay much attention. She simply supported her belly and carefully moved toward Xu Zhesheng.

The scene suddenly became lively, and the real estate agents who had just witnessed the excitement immediately perked up their ears.

Making money is one thing, but watching the drama unfold is human nature!

What's more, it involves Director Xu and rising star Su Manman, who were trending on social media before!

If he weren't forbidden from doing so, he would have loved to pull out his phone and record the whole thing right there!

This melon would be worth a lot of money if sold to a news agency!

"Zhe, are you blaming me? I really didn't mean to..."

Seeing that Xu Zhesheng didn't speak, Su Manman's eyes welled up with tears, which streamed down her cheeks, making her look incredibly pitiful.

Zhang Feng, however, shielded Su Manman behind her, glaring at Xu Zhesheng: "Why are you blaming Manman?! You're my son, and I have a share in what you bought. Even if the contract wasn't finalized, I can still get the villa back from that bitch Shen Zhiyi!"
