Baby! Be good! Don't be afraid! Your husband isn't a wild animal!

Shen Yan also found out, and Lin Jiaqian's expression gradually turned ugly.

"Miss, please." The man reminded her when he saw that she didn't move.

Lin Jiaqian took a step and walked downstairs.

Liang Yu was dragged to Ling Xia's front by the man, who kicked him in the joint, causing him to kneel heavily on the ground.

Lin Jiaqian walked into the living room and, seeing Ling Xia, suddenly had an idea and burst into tears, "Auntie..."

Lingxia felt a pang of sympathy when she saw her crying, but her tone remained cold. "What exactly happened?"

Before Lin Jiaqian could say anything, she saw Gu Zhihua and Bai Qianqian walk in. She immediately accused them, "It was those two who made me and this man drink some unknown liquid, and then we lost our minds and did these things."

Gu Zhihua found it amusing. She didn't rush to speak, but instead pulled Bai Qianqian to sit on the sofa.

"Zhihua, is what Jiaqian said true?" Lingxia looked at Gu Zhihua and asked suspiciously, seeing that she seemed indifferent.

"Auntie, what she said is true. I did have someone force-feed them the medicine," Gu Zhihua readily admitted.

"Auntie, look, she's admitted it." Lin Jiaqian didn't expect Gu Zhihua to admit it, so she quickly said.

"But why did you do this? To ruin Jiaqian's reputation?" Lingxia was completely bewildered. What kind of deep-seated hatred could drive someone to do this?

In her memory, Gu Zhihua and Lin Jiaqian had absolutely no connection.

"Auntie, it's all because of Bai Qianqian. I accidentally spilled juice on her dress just now, and I kindly brought her over to change. I didn't expect her to show her true colors. She admitted that she likes my brother because of his money, and even said that she would leave him if I gave her money. I scolded her a few times, and Gu Zhihua treated me like this to get revenge for her, ruining my reputation." Lin Jiaqian rambled on.

Ling Xia frowned slightly, seemingly unconvinced by Lin Jiaqian's words. "You're saying Bai Qianqian is doing this for money? She's Qingzi, after all. One of her designs can easily fetch hundreds of millions at auction. If she were after money, why would she do charity work? Why would she auction off her own work and donate all the proceeds to patients with congenital heart disease?"

Lingxia didn't know Bai Qianqian well before, and might have been misled by Lin Jiaqian's words. But now that she knows Bai Qianqian is Qingzi, it doesn't make sense that she's greedy for money. So... it was Lin Jiaqian who misled her from the beginning, making her have a bad impression of Bai Qianqian.

But why would Lin Jiaqian do this? Is it simply because Shen Yan likes Bai Qianqian, and she's afraid her brother's love will be taken away? Ling Xia didn't even consider the possibility that Lin Jiaqian liked Shen Yan.

"Auntie, you're the one who understands things best," Gu Zhihua said with a grin.

A hint of panic flashed in Lin Jiaqian's eyes. She hadn't expected Ling Xia's thinking to be so clear. "Maybe she... she just doesn't care about that little money. The Shen family is a big family in Kyoto. Her real goal is to marry into a wealthy family."

"Qianqian is a rich girl from a wealthy family, why would she need to marry into one?" Gu Zhihua said sarcastically.

"A rich heiress?" Lin Jiaqian looked at Bai Qianqian in disbelief. "You're so poor you have to take the bus to school, how could you possibly be a rich heiress?"

"Your worldview is really shallow. Can't Qianqian be low-key? Who says a rich girl has to ride in a luxury car to school?" Gu Zhihua was amused.

"You..." Lin Jiaqian couldn't argue with them, so she had to play the victim. "Auntie, no matter what the reason is, they can't treat me like this. I've lost my innocence. I don't want to live anymore. It would be better to die so I can see my parents again."

"Then go die." Lingxia looked disappointed.

"Huh?" Lin Jiaqian thought she was hallucinating when she heard this, and looked at Ling Xia with a blank expression.

"Didn't you want to meet your parents? I'm granting your wish now, aren't you happy?" Ling Xia said coldly.

Ling Xia's sudden remark caught Lin Jiaqian off guard. Her eyes darted around, and she said, looking aggrieved, "Auntie, I was just helpless, that's why I said the wrong thing."

"Alright, your act is over. It's time to see the truth," Gu Zhihua said, then looked at Bai Qianqian. "Qianqian, take out the recording."

Recording? Bai Qianqian actually recorded it? Lin Jiaqian's heart sank. If Ling Xia heard these recordings, she would be finished.

"Okay, sister-in-law." When Bai Qianqian and Lin Jiaqian came to the villa, she received a WeChat message from Gu Zhihua, asking her to turn on the recording function, which is why she has this recording of her conversation with Lin Jiaqian.

Bai Qianqian opened the phone's recording and played the conversation between Lin Jiaqian and herself. Ling Xia heard the conversation and showed an incredulous expression. She never expected Lin Jiaqian to be this kind of person. She actually liked Shen Yan, and what was most hateful was that she actually wanted to ruin Bai Qianqian's innocence.

"Lin Jiaqian!" Ling Xia roared.

"Auntie, that's not how it is. I just like my brother too much. I know I shouldn't fall in love with him, but I can't control my feelings..."

"Ayan, what do you think should be done about this?" Disappointment flashed in Lingxia's eyes. She never expected that the person she had raised would be so vicious.

"Sending her abroad means she can never return to Kyoto. For the sake of her parents, this is the last chance," Shen Yan said after much deliberation.

"Do as you say," Ling Xia said, looking at Lin Jiaqian. "You'd better watch yourself!"

"Auntie, I...I don't want to leave. Please give me another chance. I promise I'll never covet my brother again." She didn't want to leave. How could she live abroad?

"Take her away and send her out tonight," Shen Yan said.

The man in black stepped forward and dragged Lin Jiaqian away.

"No, brother, aunt, have you forgotten what you promised my parents? You promised to take good care of me..."

Lin Jiaqian tried to use moral blackmail, but Ling Xia didn't soften her stance. "We're only letting you off this time because of your parents. Next time, it won't be as simple as just sending you abroad!"

Lin Jiaqian never expected Ling Xia to be so ruthless as to send her abroad. Before she was dragged out, she glared fiercely at Bai Qianqian. It was all because of this woman; her appearance had changed her life.

"Send this man to the police station," Shen Yan said, looking at Liang Yu kneeling on the ground.

Liang Yu didn't say a word in rebuttal throughout the entire process; he admitted that he had misjudged people and was willing to accept the punishment.

He stood up and followed the man in black away.

"Qianqian, I'm so sorry, it's all my fault. I almost ruined you. I never thought I would be such a failure in raising someone like this," Lingxia said apologetically.

"Auntie, it's not your fault. People's nature is hard to change, and it can't be changed by education later in life." Bai Qianqian shook her head and smiled.

"Everyone, please stay for dinner tonight. I'll go tell the kitchen to prepare something," Lingxia said, standing up and leaving.

Lin Jiaqian was taken directly to the airport, where the formalities were completed and she was put on a plane bound for Country C.

The following day, in Country C.

The man in black led Lin Jiaqian off the plane and made a phone call to Shen Yan to report, "Young Master, she has arrived in Country C."

"Give her the money and tell her to behave herself. Then you can return to Kyoto," Shen Yan instructed.

The man in black hung up the phone, handed a card to Lin Jiaqian, relayed Shen Yan's words to her, and then left.

Lin Jiaqian walked out of the airport in a daze, when suddenly a man blocked her way. She looked up and saw the man's face, and a look of shock flashed in her eyes.
