After five years of a cold marriage, I can no longer hide the child I secretly gave birth to.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, Xu Jiaojiao's head immediately exploded.

Seeing her body go limp and her head gushing blood as she collapsed to the ground, tears of joy welled up in Xu Daikui's blurred eyes.

"Go to hell!"

"You dare touch them? You deserve to die!!"

The workers standing nearby, who were dumbfounded, were terrified to see Xu Jiaojiao lying unconscious on the ground with blood flowing down her face. They immediately took out their phones and dialed 120.

A short while later, the ambulance arrived quickly and took Xu Jiaojiao away.

The police arrived quickly, took Xu Daikui into a police car, and took her to the police station.

After questioning her, they left her in a cold, damp cell. She sat in a corner, her tears seemingly exhausted.

Leaning against the wall, she slowly closed her eyes.

Suddenly I realized that it would be nice to just keep sleeping like this.

...

At the hospital, Xu Jiaojiao was in the emergency room for more than an hour.

Xu Guodong and Li Xuelan paced anxiously outside, Li Xuelan already in tears.

Zhou Yanci arrived at the hospital at this time. Upon seeing him, Li Xuelan and Xu Guodong rushed over to greet him.

"Yan Ci, will Jiao Jiao be in trouble? Why did Xiao Kui have to be so cruel?"

"From childhood to adulthood, whatever she wanted, our Jiaojiao gave it to her without hesitation. Even you, because of her scheming, our Jiaojiao reluctantly gave up on you. Why is she so cruel, determined to kill my daughter?"

As Li Xuelan spoke, tears streamed down her face.

"Yes, we've really spoiled her rotten since she was little. It's bad enough that she throws tantrums and doesn't recognize her parents, but now she even dares to hurt people. She's a scourge on society!"

Xu Guodong's face changed drastically with anger. "No way! She dared to hurt someone this time; I'll make her pay!"

He then looked at Zhou Yanci and asked, "Yanci, what do you think?"

Zhou Yanci's expression was indifferent, revealing neither joy nor sorrow. "What do you intend to do?"

Xu Guodong took out his phone. "I'm going to find a lawyer. I'll make sure this unfilial daughter spends her whole life in prison reflecting on her actions."

Zhou Yanci reached out to stop him, "No. She is the Zhou family's wife; this matter cannot be blown out of proportion."

Li Xuelan frowned. "My daughter can't just suffer this for nothing, can she? Yan Ci, why don't you divorce that unfilial daughter as soon as possible, and then we'll sue her? Anyway, my daughter has been pampered since she was little, we can't just swallow this injustice like this..."

Zhou Yanci thought for a moment, "I will give you an explanation."

It's better for Zhou Yanci to take action personally than for the couple to do it themselves. After all, they are still Xu Daikui's nominal parents, and it's not appropriate for them to directly kill their own relatives for the sake of justice.

Moreover, Zhou Yanci's actions against Xu Daikui were necessary to humiliate her and make her realize that even if she schemed to steal Xu Jiaojiao's marriage, she would not have a good ending!

Just then, the emergency room lights went out. Seeing the doctor pushing Xu Jiaojiao out, Li Xuelan was about to happily call Zhou Yanci over to check on her when she saw the man turn around and disappear down the corridor.

in prison.

Xu Daikui sat motionless for over an hour, her eyes closed, lost in thought.

"Wake up, your family has come to bail you out."

Suddenly, a police officer patted her on the shoulder.

Xu Daikui opened her eyes.

Family members?

Is it Xie Jia?

It seems that she only has one close person left right now.

She stood up and walked to the case handling window.

"Hey, he says he's your husband, you should go with him."

The police officer then pointed at Zhou Yanci and reminded her from behind.

Xu Daikui met the man's gaze, staring at his aloof profile for a long time before blankly shaking her head.

"Sorry, officer, I don't know him, I won't go with him."

Seeing her turn back as she spoke, the police officer stopped her with a look of surprise.

"No, he's already paid..."

Zhou Yanci then looked at the police officers beside him and said, "Let me talk to her alone."

"Okay, Mr. Zhou."

The police officers naturally recognized Zhou Yanci as a prominent figure, so they immediately and respectfully left, thoughtfully closing the door behind them.

"Do you think Shen Jun can protect you?"

After a moment of silence, Zhou Yanci looked at the slender woman with her back to him and spoke softly.

Xu Daikui paused for a moment before slowly turning around to look at the man, her eyes filled with a lifeless aura.

"Shen Jun can't protect me."

She sneered, "Who told me to hurt your most beloved darling?"

"Is she dead?"

"Haha, Zhou Yanci, now you want to reunite with her? Is going to hell the only way?"

"I deserved to serve this prison sentence!"

Her bright and cheerful smile pierced Zhou Yanci's heart.

He stared at her for a moment, then strode closer, his cold fingers gripping her chin. "Say that again!"

Looking at him up close, Xu Daikui felt even more suffocated.

But she no longer cared.

She glared at him coldly and said sharply, "I curse you all to go to hell, Zhou Yanci, she should have died long ago!"

"She deserved it! You two scoundrels! You deserve to die a horrible death..."

"Hmm..."

Before she could finish her angry words, the man's cold lips suddenly blocked her breath.

She opened her eyes wide in bewilderment.

My mind was filled with disbelief.

What is he doing?

"Get out! Ah!"

After realizing what had happened, she desperately punched and pushed the man, but he held her wrist tightly.

...

A few minutes later, he stepped back.

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

"Your choice is to go out or spend your life in prison."

Xu Daikui reached out and vigorously wiped her lips, her eyes moist, her tone firm as iron, "Whether I live or die is none of Mr. Zhou's concern."

"I won't go with you!"

Zhou Yanci turned to look at her, "Are you blaming me?"

"Xu Daikui, you have to pay the price for hurting someone. If you're really sure you want to go to jail, I'll hire the best lawyer for you."

Xu Daikui laughed in anger, "Then let's get a divorce."

"You can't exactly marry a convict, can you?"

Upon hearing about divorce, Zhou Yanci's handsome face darkened further. "That's not an option."

Xu Daikui clenched her fists instantly.

After a moment, he suddenly smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, I'm stuck here in the dark. As long as you're not in a hurry to marry your sweetheart, that's fine."

Zhou Yanci sneered, "Really don't want to go out?"

"Are you willing to give up everything outside?"

Xu Daikui didn't know what he meant by "everything".

Besides Xu Meng, does she have anything else?

But what will happen to Xu Meng if she can't get out?

Tell Zhou Yanci the truth?

Xu Meng will then have a ruthless stepmother in the future.

She will still follow in her own footsteps.

But she didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore.

I don't want to go out with him at all.

Seeing her lower her head and lower her eyes, her eyelashes wet, and her fair and delicate face devoid of color, Zhou Yanci's fingers tightened.

He frowned slightly, then softened his tone, "Come out with me. I'll consider a divorce."
