《Love You More Than I Can》 Chapter 1 - Have Her From Backwards Chapter 1: Have Her From Backwards Trantor: Mia Night. Turned over suddenly, she was pressed by the tall and thin yet muscr body as usual. The man¡¯s hands went slowly upwards along her body and his long thin fingers finally found their way inside her silk nightgown. When his fingers reached their destination, her underpants was pulled off suddenly! Awakened suddenly, she took the man¡¯s hands subconsciously. Familiar weight and body temperature wound her up. Intoxicated again! Thinking of what Yu Yi said today, she couldn¡¯t help twisting her body to show her resistance. She was determined to not let him in from backwards. ¡°Sheng Youting!¡± She turned back and stared at him angrily, ¡°My head is pressed into the pillow every time when you have sex with me. Is it because that you are afraid to see that it¡¯s me rather than my sister that you getid?!¡± Yu Lan¡¯s chest went up and down violently as she took in deep breaths. She thought she had armor on and was now indifferent to everything after what had happened. However, Yu Yi¡¯s words embittered her and were like piercing spears, tearing her armor into pieces and continuing into her heart. Sheng Youting never slept with her when he was conscious. He always had her from backwards to avoid looking at her face. Sheng Youting turned around and was about to leave. However, Yu Lan stopped him by rounding her arm around his neck and pulling him near, ¡°Don¡¯t go! Look at me and see who I am! I¡¯m your legally acknowledged wife!¡± ¡°Sheng Youting! It¡¯s Yu Lan that is under your body! She is Yu Yi¡¯s elder sister! I didn¡¯t force you to marry me two years ago! It was you who couldn¡¯t bear the pressure posed by grandpa because of external public opinions!¡± Thinking of the thing happened two years ago, Sheng Youting almost came to himself! His handsome face turned gloomy all of a sudden. He couldn¡¯t help squeezing Yu Lan¡¯s mandible with great force, seeming to try to smash it into pieces. ¡°If it were not for your calction, Yu Yi would be my wife!¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t do anything two years ago! Believe it or not!¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t?¡± An ironic cold smile appeared on Sheng Youting¡¯s face. ¡°That night, you got me drunk and then drugged me. Otherwise, it was impossible for me to have sex with you! What was more, it was such a coincidence that I was blocked at the hotel! If it were not for that incidence, grandpa wouldn¡¯t threaten me with death to force me to marry you for the sake of the family¡¯s reputation!¡± Yu Lan had loved Sheng Youting for 11 years. All Jincheng people knew that. However, it was also known by all Jincheng people that Sheng Youting loved Yu Yi. Everyone believed that Yu Lan did something to gain the marriage. With all her bitterness hidden, Yu Lan smiled and acted proud, ¡°So what? You married me eventually!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t love you!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t ask you to love me! And my love dies away to almost nothing in the wearing marriage!¡± Yu Lan shouted hysterically to hide her cowardice. Cowardice would only left her with exhaustion and embarrassment. People only care for things hadn¡¯t gained. Pretending to act proud could at least help her save her remaining self-esteem though which might seemed to be ridiculous and pitiful. Sheng Youting couldn¡¯t help getting angry though he didn¡¯t know why! He had sobered up totally for a while. It was the first time for him to pull her cloth off when he was conscious! ¡°Are you asking me to look at your face when I¡¯m in you? OK, as long as you can bear!¡± Yu Lan was nearly tron apart. Sheng Youting had never banged her so hardly. He treated her as if she were an enemy and banged her violently. ¡°Sheng Youting, are you trying to kill me?¡± ¡°Yes! I¡¯ve dreamed to kill you since two years ago!¡± Two years ago, the day before his engagement with Yu Yi, she held his arm and said shamelessly to the journalists who broke into the house, ¡°What you saw is the fact. We slept togetherst night. It was my first time.¡± He dreamed to kill her since then! Yu Lan¡¯s body was nearly destroyed by the beast-like man. Ejactedfortably in Yu Lan¡¯s body, Sheng Youting got off the bed to take a shower as usual. Again, he would slept in another room. Yu Lan sat up. After a second thought on what Yu Yi had said and the two-year tearing marriage, she said peacefully, ¡°Youting, let¡¯s get divorced.¡± She pulled the quilt and covered her naked body. With a sigh, she said, ¡°I will take all the me though the incident two years ago was not plotted by me. However, if you insist it, I will take it. Let¡¯s get divorced.¡± Yu Lan had never dared to mention about divorce as if her crystal-ball-like pure love would fall apart by just speaking the word out. However, she knew now she would never get into his heart. His heart was like a stone which would never be warmed by her. Though not shed from her eyes, her salty tears sank into her heart with a greater weight. Soaked in tears, her already fully-scared heart ached extremely! Sheng Youting stopped and turned around. He saw Yu Lan¡¯s smiling eyes. Suddenly, he hate what she was like now. She was indifferent. Managing a cold smile, he said, ¡°Divorce? Why?¡± ¡°To give the position besides you, Mrs Sheng, to the woman you love. Isn¡¯t it good?¡± She was still with a big smile. ¡°As you wish.¡± He then left with the door mmed, as arrogant as the heir of the Sheng family should be. Chapter 2 - Plan the Divorce Chapter 2: n the Divorce Trantor: Mia 10 o¡¯clock the next day. The moment Sheng Youting went back to the office of the chairman after a regr morning meeting, he was stopped by his secretary with a brown paper portfolio, ¡°Boss, it is sent by the Missis.¡± Opening what he had received, words of Divorce Agreement came to his eyes. Then the portfolio was banged to the desk! More than irritated, he pulled the corband down with force and unsnapped the first button. It had been several times that he was infuriated by Yu Lan sincest night! Divorce? Based on what did she dare to initiate the divorce?! ¡ª¡ª Yu Lan went home and wanted to inform her dad about her divorce with Sheng Youting. However, servants were not seen in the house. She went directly to the study room for Yu Bonian. Unexpectedly, just outside the study room, she heard what should be hidden from her forever. ¡°Dad, am I now the only heir of the properties of the Yu family?¡± It was the voice of her younger sister. ¡°Of course. It has been two years since Yu Lan¡¯s marriage with Sheng Youting. And her mom¡¯s will takes effect. All her mom¡¯s shares of thepany are yours now! And dad¡¯s will also be yours definitely.¡± ¡°Great. If it were not for her mom¡¯s will, I wouldn¡¯t have plotted her intimacy with Sheng Youting two years ago!¡± ¡°Eh, her mom cares about Yu Lan most and of course wishes that she could be with the one she loves. Anyway, all that Yu Lan wants is Youting.¡± ¡°Dad, since I¡¯ve got all her mom¡¯s shares now, I want Youting back! I want them to divorce!¡± ¡°Yiyi, it¡¯s not the best time. Wait for a while. Youting don¡¯t love Yu Lan. You know it. Be at ease.¡± ¡°No! I¡¯m worried. Youting always maintains his public image as a good husband since his marriage and deliberately avoids contacts with me. I would lose him if I let it be!¡± Dizziness struck her when she heard their words outside the door. Her body swayed. She managed hard to prevent herself from falling to the ground. Her dad plotted her scandal and marriage just to deprive her of the shares left by her mom and give them to her younger sister! Now they had the shares and wanted her to divorce! He left all the properties to her younger sister! What about her? It turned out that she had never been a part of either the Sheng family or the Yu family. Turning around, she tried to pull herself together though her heart hurt badly and the ache almost deprived her of her breaths. Feebleness came to her. All she could do was to walk downstairs with the help of the handrail. She would never let them take advantage of her again! She would never again let them take advantage of her without paying a price! Never again! She was just out and took a taxi. Sheng Youting called, ¡°I¡¯m at the Bureau of Civil Affairs and youe here now.¡± ¡°About the divorce, I take my words back.¡± ¡°Yu Lan! You fooled me!¡± Yu Lan hadn¡¯t regained her breaths. Though the voice from the phone was loud, she couldn¡¯t hear clearly as she was overwhelmed by hypoxia-caused ear ringing. She couldn¡¯t help yelling back, ¡°Sheng Youting! Don¡¯t ever dream about it! I won¡¯t let you two be together forever! Even if I died one day, I would die as Mrs Sheng! I would upy the position besides you even though my body stunk after my death! I don¡¯t care whether you love me! Anybody but me cares about it! My love perished long time ago! I will wait and see Yu yi¡¯s agony! She will never have the man she loves! Her agony is all I want! I want her to knee down and beg me for giving you to her. However I won¡¯t agree! I¡¯d like to witness her suffering until she dies in anguish!¡± Yu Lan hanged up. She was mad! Wild with anger! Her whole body shivered! Her heart was about to quake into pieces! Though muddled upon Yu Lan¡¯s yell, he couldn¡¯t resist an outburst! All his umted manias during the tearing two-year marriage exploded for the first time! He knew Yu Lan didn¡¯t get along with Yu Yi well for they didn¡¯t have a same mother though shared a father. Itmon in rich and powerful families. So Yu Lan¡¯s high-profile love and pursuit during the past 11 years was just a revenge to her sister! What he thought was like an atom bomb exploded in his heart. He gradually clenched his fists with great force and didn¡¯t stop even when his hands turned white due to the great pressure! Chapter 3 - Need to Be Banged Chapter 3: Need to Be Banged Trantor: Mia Night. Brightly shined the neon lights round the shop sign of the W Western Restaurant. With high heels on, Yu Lan walked directly towards the table at which Sheng Youting was now having dinner with Yu Yi. Seeing hering near, Sheng Youting remained poised. Not a slight panic was seen in his face. All that disyed on his face was indifference and alienation. Yu Yi was with a provocative smile. Yu Lan saw that. It had been two years since her marriage with Sheng Youting. Yet not a single meal of her was treated by Sheng Youting. She would live with it in the past. However, she wouldn¡¯t now! She picked up Sheng Youting¡¯s red wine ss, elegantly touched that of Yu Yi¡¯s, and took a sip, ¡°Happy birthday!¡± Said in a soft voice, Yu Yi replied, ¡°Thank you, my sister.¡± Yu Lan raised her eyebrows£¬¡±My man is treating you with our marital property. Technically speaking, I have also treated you. So I deserve your gratitude.¡± Yu Yi¡¯s face turned white and resorted to Sheng Youting. However, he pretended not to see that and cut his beefsteak elegantly. ¡°Sister, it isn¡¯t reasonable for you to say that. When you married Youting, your dowry was next to nothing. Pre-marital properties can¡¯t be counted as marital properties.¡± ¡°Of course I didn¡¯t have a decent dowry. After all, properties of the Yu family have to be left to you, is it right?¡± Yu Yi was diffident, ¡°Sister!¡± ¡°The wine is expensive, yet I just want to waste it!¡± finished her words, Yu Lan sshed the remaining wine in the bottle to Yu Yi¡¯s face and gave her a big provocative smile, ¡°Are you asking me toe here and upset me? Your birthday wish hase true. You must be happy, aren¡¯t you?¡± Yu Yi screamed and stood up in a hurry, trying to remove the wine in her face by pulling paper towels in a row, ¡°Oh my gosh! Yu Lan! You are mad!¡± Not caring what Yu Yi had said, Yu Lan put down the ss. However, her hands was seized by Sheng Youting. He said in a cold voice, ¡°Say sorry to Yiyi.¡± Yiyi? What a close rtionship! ¡°No!¡± ¡°Apologize!¡± Yu Yi acted pathetic and trying to pulling Sheng Youting hands off, ¡°Youting, never mind! It doesn¡¯t matter. Maybe sister is just not in a good mood today.¡± Remaining poker-faced, he wasn¡¯t n to let Yu Lan go for what she did was just taking full advantage of him and seeing him as a tool for revenge. How could he let her go! ¡°Apologize to Yiyi!¡± The more Sheng Youting cared about Yu Yi, the less Yu Lan was willing to apologize, ¡°No matter the wine is drank or sshed. It¡¯s either in or on her and belongs to her. I¡¯m not wrong and don¡¯t need to apologize!¡± Despite others¡¯ discussions, Sheng Youting dragged Yu Lan outside and threw her in the car by force! He then closed the door and barreled with the car! ¡°Sheng Youting! Let me get off!¡± ¡°Yu Lan! You are asking me to bang you!¡± Married for two years, Sheng Youting never quarreled with Yu Lan for he disdained to do it. However, thinking of his position in Yu Lan¡¯s heart, he couldn¡¯t help getting furious! Exposed to negative thoughts all day, Yu Lan wanted an outburst, ¡°Yes! I just need to be banged! It¡¯s just because you are not a qualified husband!¡± Slightly pulling up the right side of the corner of his mouth, he was seemed to be very dangerous now! The car was stopped after going into a shady path in suburbs. Yu Lan started to get frightened, ¡°Sheng Youting, what are you going to do?¡± Yu Lan seized the safety belt tightly and Sheng Youting came up above her, ¡°My n? To be a qualified husband and bang you! To reduce your sexual dissatisfaction!¡± The car shook violently and a woman¡¯s scream kepting out of it. However, no one heard about it... ¡°Sheng Youting, I love you so much. However, you are blind to it and would rather to love a scheming woman! You are totally blind!¡± Not a single word from Yu Lan¡¯s mouth was now believed by Sheng Youting. Her so-called love was just a revenge tool to Yu Yi! Chapter 4 - Wish Her Death Earnestly Chapter 4: Wish Her Death Earnestly Trantor: Mia Yu Lan seized the safety belt tightly and Sheng Youting came up above her, ¡°My n? To be a qualified husband and bang you! To reduce your sexual dissatisfaction!¡± The car shook violently and a woman¡¯s scream kepting out of it. However, no one heard about it... ¡°Sheng Youting, I love you so much. However, you are blind to it and would rather to love a scheming woman! You are such a blind bastard!¡± Not a single word from Yu Lan¡¯s mouth was now believed by Sheng Youting. Her so-called love was just a revenge tool to Yu Yi! The real scheming woman was Yu Lan! Thinking of this, he banged her more violently like a punishment! ¡°Whom am I going to love, you have no say in it!¡± Yu Lan had no choice but to bear with his violence with her teeth gnashed. Suddenly there came a ringtone. It was Sheng Youting¡¯s and right on the phone disyed the name of Yu Bonian. Sheng Youting was still in Yu Lan. He picked up the phone and a middle-aged man was sobbing and screaming at the other side, ¡°Youting! Youting! Yiyi hasmitted suicide and she wants to see you before death!¡± It was the first time for Sheng Youting had stopped without being sexually satisfied. The car raced back downtown all the way. Yu Lan yed with her fingers and smiled ironically, ¡°We two may die due to car ident before Yu Yi if you keep racing at such a high speed. Perhaps we can be a ghost couple without being disturbed by Yu Yi.¡± Yu Lan¡¯s ironical smile was like a victory sign of getting goals fulfilled to Sheng Youting. Her sister was dying. Would this be the end of her revenge? ¡°Shut up!¡± ¡°Worried? Scared? Are you afraid of not seeing her for the rest of your life?¡± ¡°Yu Lan, you are cold-blooded! She is your younger sister.¡± ¡°My mom only gives birth to me. Howe I suddenly have a younger sister?¡± Yu Lan was clear in her heart that it was impossible for Yu Yi tomit a real suicide. She was such a scheming woman and would bear to send her beloved man to another woman¡¯s bed. What else couldn¡¯t she do? What was more, she still wanted Sheng Youting. About the suicide, it was just a trick to fool Sheng Youting to get divorced. Yu Lan didn¡¯t go to the hospital. Sheng Youting went there alone. Sheng Youting didn¡¯te home for three days and right in these days, Yu Lan kept vomiting. Bitter tastes lingered in her mouth and her throat swelled and ached. She came to the hospital then to see what was wrong. It turned out that she was pregnant and was having twins in her belly now. Twins! Tell me it was just a joke made by the god! Profound hatred separated Sheng Youting from her. It could hardly be a good thing for her to have his babies. Holding the test sheet tightly in her hands, she walked back and forth along the aisle without an aim, not knowing what to do next. Her mind had gone nk. Her heart was unsettled. All that echoed in her brain was what to do about it. She then went to a doctor of Obstetrics & Gynecology for further information. With a bunch of medical records piling besides her hands, the doctor didn¡¯t even lift her head, ¡°Pregnant? Do you want the babies? If you don¡¯t, abortion shall be done as soon as possible in case of further sufferings when babies get bigger.¡± Yu Lan quivered on hearing the word of abortion and rushed out as if she had encountered a ghost. It was not until she rushed outside the hospital before she flopped down on the stone stairs. She couldn¡¯t help covering her face with hands and sobbing bitterly. If the twins were herpensation for the two-year tearing marriage, she was willing to let everything go and start her new life from now. It took long before she becameposed. She took out her phone and called Sheng Youting, ¡°Youting,e home and have dinner together today. I need to talk with you.¡± ¡°She hasn¡¯t recovered yet.¡± ¡°I have more important things to deal with.¡± ¡°Just handle it yourself.¡± ¡°I will wait. If you don¡¯te, I would go and pull off Yu Yi¡¯s oxygen tube.¡± Yu Lan said in a rage and hanged. At night, she had prepared a soup and other three courses. They two hadn¡¯t had dinner together peacefully since their marriage. They had babies now and she wanted to maintain a harmony family rtionship with him. Steaming dishes were ready on the table. Yu Lan ran to the door the moment there came a sound of the coded lock. She smiled happily to the man getting inside. However, what Sheng Youting returned to her was an indifferent and exhausted face. His tall figure passed Yu Lan, bringing around a smell of hospital sterilized water. He said as he was walking upstairs, ¡°I¡¯m going to take a shower beforeing back to the hospital. And tomorrow I wille and pick you up and get divorced.¡± Steaming dishes became a joke as the cold word of divorce had been mentioned. Yu Lan stood still waiting downstairs. She was with slippers on and wore a rose quartz falb apron. She lost weight these days and became moreely. Her eyes even seemed to be bigger. She was just looking at the the head of the stairs. Sheng Youting went downstairs after a shower and clothes changing. When he passed Yu Lan by, Yu Lan stopped him, ¡°Stay at home tonight. I have something to talk with you. There are aides in the hospital.¡± ¡°She can¡¯t do without me now.¡± ¡°I also can¡¯t do without you.¡± Unclenching Yu Lan¡¯s hands with force, Sheng Youting replied, ¡°Yu Lan, you are not dying for me.¡± It was so hurt that she couldn¡¯t help standing on tiptoes. Her sore eyes tried hard to keep tears back. Yet she smiled. She could tell he wished her death earnestly. Chapter 5 - Hate You Still Chapter 5: Hate You Still Trantor: Mia Loving him was such a difficult thing. Yet she could still bare with it. What else couldn¡¯t she live with? ¡°Suicide is not gonna be my choice. If I died, another woman would take the advantage to sleep my bed, have babies with my husband, and even beat my children. My death won¡¯t do any good and I won¡¯t be at ease even if I would be a ghost then.¡± Shaking Yu Lan¡¯s hands off, Sheng Youting was indifferent, ¡°Get away!¡± Sheng Youting left and went to the hospital immediately. However, just ten minutes after his arrival, Yu Lan also got to the hospital. Her clothes were unchanged and she still wore the same apron and slippers, which turned her a misfit in the hospital. Standing beside Yu Yi¡¯s bed, she turned to Sheng Youting, ¡°Come home with me. She is not reallymitting a suicide.¡± Pointing to the woman with eyes closed in bed, Sheng Youting said in a low voice, ¡°Yu Lan, she is your younger sister!¡± ¡°And you are my husband! She is taken care of by her own parents! By which identity is it that enables your presence here?!¡± Yu Lan couldn¡¯t help getting angry and clenched her fists! Putting on an ironic smile, Sheng Youting said, ¡°My identity? Don¡¯t you know?¡± Yu Lan bit her lips. Of course she knew. Yu Yi was the only one that he wanted to marry with. He was forced to marry her two years ago. And she had nned to give up their marriage but she got pregnant now. She needed to fight for her children and won a father for them! From now on, Sheng Youting had to be there in their marriage and y the role of a father! ¡°Whether you love her or not and no matter how much you have loved her, you are still my husband and shall be with me!¡± ¡°Yu Lan, is it so important for you to force me to be with you? Does it matter so much for you to torture Yu Yi?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Only by forcing Sheng Youting to stay with her could her children had their father and aplete family. Sheng Youting was saddened by Yu Lan¡¯s reply. He now confirmed that he was just a tool for Yu Lan¡¯s revenge. On what basis would he let her be well? ¡°I won¡¯t let you fulfill what you¡¯ve wished. Yu Lan, Yu Yi is my love. I will divorce you and marry her after she gets well. I¡¯m telling you not asking you this! In Jincheng, you may be able to defeat Yu Yi. However, for me, Sheng Youting, it¡¯s impossible.¡± Speaking out those harsh words, Sheng Youting finally felt better. He wouldn¡¯t let himself end up in such a miserable role as a revenge tool! Yu Lan took deep breathes in a row. Oxygen particles to her were like bits of broken ss. They stung her lung with every breath. It really hurt... Yu Bonian and Yu Yi¡¯s mother Wen Ruyu were all there. Wen Ruyu pretended to persuade Sheng Youting with a pleasant smile, ¡°Youting, don¡¯t get angry. Though Lan didn¡¯t treat Yiyi as her sister, it doesn¡¯t matter. She would be a sensible woman as she grows older. After all, they were sisters and as the saying goes, blood is thicker than water.¡± It was implied by her in these words that Yu Yi valued beloved ones while Yu Lan was selfish and didn¡¯t care about others. Yu Lan was gradually getting carried away. These people here were so disgusting. They had taken her mom¡¯s shares, plotted her scandal, and calcted her husband¡¯s hatred towards her. And now they nned to deprive her children¡¯s father from her. She wasn¡¯t well and wouldn¡¯t let them be well! Rushed to Yu Yi¡¯s bed, Yu Lan pulled off the needle on her hand with force. Pretendinga in bed, Yu Yi frowned at Yu Lan¡¯s action for a second and then continued her a¡±. Sheng Youting pushed Yu Lan away and got angry, ¡°Yu Lan! How dare you hurt Yu Yi!¡± Yu Lan hit the stand at the foot of the bed under the sudden attack. She saw her husband seeing her as an enemy for protecting another woman! Managing a bitter smile, Yu Lan asked, ¡°Sheng Youting, do you ever know your love in depth?¡± ¡°She is much better than you!¡± ¡°You won¡¯t care even though she has hurt you, will you? Will you love her still?¡± Asked by several aggressive questions in a row, Sheng Youting was irritated. He hated such a Yu Lan. What kind of hatred would drive this woman to fight with her sister for 11 consecutive years at any cost? And she was even using herself as a tool! ¡°Even if she has hurt me, so what? I still love her and hate you!¡± Sheng Youting couldn¡¯t feel better! He saw the lights in Yu Lan¡¯s eyes darkening gradually. It was an act of a loser! He won! Yu Lan¡¯s shoulders were lowered as she exhaled a long breath. She lost. She lostpletely. She was like a defeated rooster. Maybe Sheng Youting¡¯s rtion with Yu Yi was what love is. She was actually the unwanted third person between them. The unwanted one was the third person... What was the meaning of her love? She loved him so deeply that she got her back bent. Now she wanted to her back straight again. However, her back stayed bent for so long that her heart and lung weren¡¯t used to the straight position. They were tearing apart. ¡°Really?¡± Yu Lanughed out loud, ¡°Do you know it¡¯s who that has plotted our scandal two years ago?¡± Yu Bonian¡¯s and Wen Ruyu¡¯s faces got pale upon her words. And Yu Yi¡¯s eyelids also kept quivering though she was pretendinga in bed! Chapter 6 - Time to Let It Go Chapter 6: Time to Let It Go Trantor: Mia Rushed to Yu Lan, Yu Bonian pped her hard in the face! The attack was sudden and with great force. Yu Lan didn¡¯t know what was going on before staggering back to the wall. What was more, she was suffering from the temporary after-effects of ear ringing. All that she could hear now was taunts from Yu Bonian, ¡°Your sister is dying but you are keen on making troubles here! What a vicious heart! Go if you are not here paying a nice visit!¡± Also rushed to Yu Lan, Wen Ruyu shoved and kicked her, ¡°You haven¡¯t been a nice elder sister since young. And you now even wish her death earnestly, don¡¯t you? You are so cruel-hearted! Why can¡¯t you ever think of my hard work in raising you like my own child!¡± Seizing Yu Lan by her wrist, Yu Bonian tried to dragging her out, ¡°Get out! I¡¯ll pretend not having you as my daughter since now!¡± Yu Lan was trying hard to unclench Yu Bonian¡¯s hand while Wen Ruyu joined him to drag her out. Turned her head back to Sheng Youting who wasing near quickly, Yu Lan said out loud, ¡°Sheng Youting! I¡¯ve told you! I haven¡¯t plotted you! The one who has calcted you is the one you love most!¡± Seeing the blood oozing from the corner of Yu Lan¡¯s mouth, Sheng Youting dragged her out from Yu Bonian¡¯s hand. However, Yu Lan felt she was now seized by a greater force! Sheng Youting¡¯s eyes were now as red as the blood on Yu Lan¡¯s mouth, ¡°What you¡¯ve said?!¡± Yu Lan was so hurt and shrank her neck by instinct. Yu Bonian immediately reacted to the scene and tried to stop her words in a hurry, ¡°Youting! Her words are nonsense! She has never wished her sister good since young!¡± Stopping Wen Ruyu who was trying to join them with another hand, Sheng Youting stared at Yu Lan. An aura of danger arose around him! Extremely dangerous! ¡°Say it again!¡± Yu Lan gasped, ¡°Two years ago, it was my dad and Yu Yi who had plotted you because the will left by my mom was that all her shares could be left to Yu Yi as long as I could marry you for two years. She knew I loved you and thought two years were long enough for we to have babies. At that time, I would have a stable marriage. However, to ensure all properties were left to Yu Yi, my dad thought of the n two days before your engagement with Yu Yi and had arranged for the media to report the scandal. All that was to force you to marry you for it was impossible for the Sheng family to ignore public opinions... ¡± Diffident to deny Yu Lan¡¯s words, Yu Bonian shouted, ¡°Nonsense!¡± ¡°For whether what I¡¯ve said is nonsense, you can check the information about the equity transfer.¡± Looking up to Sheng Youting who was much higher than her, she frowned and was seemed to be in great pain. Shining liquid was gathering in her eyes, ¡°Sheng Youting, you are always the one who feel wronged. And you think I¡¯m the one who shall take the me and stop you from having the one you love. However, do you ever think about me? I¡¯m actually the most pitiful one who has been wrongly treated! My dad has plotted my mom¡¯s shares and my scandal for his another daughter. Though I love you so much, I¡¯m also a proud princess who has always been the apple of my mom¡¯s eyes. I also want to marry the one who love me. I also want a happy life. I also want to be loved. However, your hatred all goes to me. It has been two years. I¡¯m innocent yet living with your hatred for two years!¡± Sheng Youting¡¯s breaths were disturbed on hearing this. He saw Yu Lan¡¯s body slipping down to the ground and her face was covered by numerous small beads of sweat. He tried to pull her up but failed. She kept slipping down with a paler face. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± It was a question he never asked for he never cared about her. Yu Lan took in several deep breaths. However, her voice became lower and lower due to the great pain of her belly, ¡°Belly...hurts...like a knife...twisting...in it.¡± Sheng Youting¡¯s eyes looked down to the belly which was covered by Yu Lan¡¯s hands now. More and more blood oozed between her legs and she became more and more painful judging from her face. Sheng Youting¡¯s blood froze on the scene. He unclenched her wrist and lifted her up by the waist, ¡°Yu Lan! What the hell are you hiding from me!¡± ¡°I n to tell you tonight that I¡¯m...pregnant.¡± Seizing him by shirt cor, Yu Lan stared at his underjaw. It was the first time that he worried and rushed for her. She felt sad and her heart hurt. ¡°I thought we would finally have a family. It doesn¡¯t matter whether you love me. Perhaps, you would love our children. You may not at the beginning but wouldter seeing a smaller you around.¡± Yu Lan hurt and gasped in a higher frequency. ¡°Stop talking!¡± Holding Yu Lan in his arms, Sheng Youting was in a panic like an aimless fly. He shouted, ¡°Doctor! Doctor!¡± Blood stings went downwards along Yu Lan¡¯s butt. The cold aisle was decorated by a startling stretching blood line! All his muscles and even that of his heart¡¯s got tense! How could he be so scared? He wasn¡¯t scared at all when Yu Yimitted suicide. However, seeing the unstopping blood of Yu Lan, he was so scared that his throat got tight and couldn¡¯t utter a voice. Yu Lan was extremely weak, ¡°I lost my children. Maybe it¡¯s my punishment. The heaven punishes me for upying you without taking your happiness into ount. So it gives me children yet deprives them from me cruelty...if I can live with what I have and agree to divorce, maybe...maybe my children would grow gradually in my belly...I... I shall really let it go now...¡± Chapter 7 - Agree to Divorce Chapter 7: Agree to Divorce Trantor: Mia Sheng Youting couldn¡¯t bear more to hear Yu Lan¡¯s confession. Words uttering by her were like sharping needles, piercing through his left chest constantly. The more he knew from her confession, the deeper the needles went and it hurt more. What was more, there was no way for him to deny the unexpected facts in the confession. ¡°Stop talking, stop...¡± With Yu Lan in his arms, Sheng Youting rushed forward and found a nurse pushing a hospital bed to him! ¡°I agree about the divorce...agree...¡± Yu Lan¡¯s voice died down with her hand gradually slipping down from Sheng Youting¡¯s shirt cor. Losing his presence of mind, Sheng Youting shouted out loud, ¡°Yu Lan!¡± He wanted to call a doctor and he saw the chief physician of the hospital. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Meng Shaoqian, his high school and university schoolmate. Sheng Youting couldn¡¯t help wondering it was since when that they became strangers. Perhaps, it was when Meng Shaoqian began to chase Yu Lan. Meng Shaoqian at that time hacked the campuswork and made public that he wouldn¡¯t marry any one except Yu Lan! Sheng Youting disliked his acts and thought he was a nut. Since then Sheng Youting began to deliberately stay away from him. Meng Shaoqian got startled to see Yu Lan in his arms and took her out from Sheng Youting¡¯s arms by force with a sullen face. He then carefully put her down on the bed quickly and rushed to the emergency room with the bed. Meng Shaoqian was irritable and shouted, ¡°Sent the patient to the emergency room immediately! Hemorrhea! Take a blood test! Inform the blood bank! Hurry up! Slow heart beat! Inform all avable experts and directors of Obstetrics & Gynecology and get them here! Be quick! Oxygen!¡± A series of orders were issued by Meng Shaoqian and each of them got on Sheng Youting¡¯s nerves. Sheng Youting¡¯s hands began to shake. It was exactly the pair of hands that had held Yu Lan previously. Now they were covered by Yu Lan¡¯s blood. Dangerous? She couldn¡¯t be dangerous! Sheng Youting ran to Meng Shaoqian, ¡°She isn¡¯t dangerous at all, isn¡¯t she?¡± Staring at Sheng Youting, Meng Shaoqian was more than irritated, ¡°She is with you and it¡¯s the most possible danger!¡± ¡°Meng Shaoqian!¡± Sheng Youting gnashed his teeth, ¡°Mind your attitude! Are you asking for a fight?¡± ¡°I should have fought with you when you announced your marriage with Yu Lan. And she wouldn¡¯t end up in the emergency room!¡± Sheng Youting rushed to the emergency room, but was stopped by the closed doors. Nurses ran in and out. The faster their steps, the more worried Sheng Youting was! He couldn¡¯t help thinking over the words said by Yu Lan tonight. She said she won¡¯t die for she won¡¯t let another woman beat her children. Howe he didn¡¯t get her implications! He didn¡¯t care what she was saying then. Or did he ever care about her? Sheng Youting remained waiting outside for the doctor. However, all he could see before his eyes was busy nurses in and out preparing adtevak. The waiting was like an endless torturing. Suddenly he went directly to the emergency room but was pulled away by a nurse with a mask before he even touched the door dog¡£ ¡°Are you really the family member of the patient? Do you earnestly wish her to die?¡± ¡°Boom!¡± These words were like a atom exploding in Sheng Youting¡¯s head! ¡°The woman lying there in the room is mine! How couldn¡¯t I wish her alive!¡± Sheng Youting was extremely self-centered. He was able to ept everything and even to change them. He disliked what the nurse had said. The nurse continued, ¡°She is with abnormal chromosomes and would be hard to get pregnant. Now she had a miscarriage with fetus partlying out the womb. We are trying to pull the remaining part out. However, hemorrhea urred and can¡¯t be stopped. Her wound is kept open and therefore can be easily infected. You are not disinfected. If you want her die sincerely, just go inside!¡± The doors were pulled open to let the nurse in and then closed after the nurse¡¯s entrance. Standing outside, Sheng Youting¡¯s temple kept bouncing. It hurt with sore muscles. He wanted to smoke outside yet stayed, for Yu Lan was dying, he couldn¡¯t be away for a second. He had never worried about Yu Lan like this, never! Chapter 8 - Bleed a Lot Chapter 8: Bleed a Lot Trantor: Mia Sheng Youting sat on a stic chair in the aisle with his back bent and elbows rested on his thighs. He wiped his face with force randomly and gasped. Along with ttering high heels, Wen Ruyu came and started to sob with her arms pulling Sheng Youting, ¡°Youting,e and see our Yiyi. The doctor said she is not well now!¡± Without lifting up his head, Sheng Youting said in a casual tone, ¡°Go find a doctor.¡± Wen Ruyu was surprised to hear his answer. What was more, seeing the name of the emergency room, she was to some extent determined, ¡°Youting, at first, Yiyi is getting better. However, ording to the doctor, she is affected by extremely unpleasant facts and falls in aa again! Yu Lan should take the me! Divorce with her as soon as possible!¡± Since Sheng Youting owed Yu Yi a life and as known by all he loved her, Wen Ruyu naturally put the me on Yu Lan. Sheng Youting was pent-up. He took in a long deep breath and leaned his head backwards against the wall. He was impatient and uttered a reply indifferently, ¡°Fuck off.¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t make me to say it again, or else, someone has to pay my son¡¯s life now.¡± Sheng Youting didn¡¯t say it out loud, or to some extent faintly, yet a killing intent was implied from his low voice! Wen Ruyu was scared and silenced. However, she still asked tentatively after a while, ¡°How could you know it is a boy? How could a woman like Yu Lan give birth to a boy!¡± Turning around to Wen Ruyu, Sheng Youting stared at her viciously like a Shura, ¡°Even if it¡¯s a girl, it¡¯s also my Sheng Youting¡¯s daughter! You¡¯re not even qualified to touch her toes!¡± Sheng Youting¡¯s anger built up with every uttered word. He stood up immediately, grabbed Wen Ruyu¡¯s shoulders by force, and pushed her against the wall! ¡°It¡¯s my daughter¡¯s life! Howe you should even think I won¡¯t find the one who should pay for it?¡± Wen Ruyu couldn¡¯t help quivering upon Sheng Youting¡¯s words! ¡°Youting, Youting, your aunt has to look after Yiyi now. Let go out of your aunt!¡± Sheng Youting loosed his hands and sneered at her after seeing her falling to the ground, ¡°I don¡¯t have the time to get even with you. However, you need to pay me back with interestter! Fuck off!¡± Wen Ruyu staggered away and couldn¡¯t help looking back. She didn¡¯t even think she knew Sheng Youting now! Sheng Youting didn¡¯t know what was wrong with him. He was maybe just trying to restrain himself for he bore in heart the revenge told by Yu Lan. Maybe he needed to do good deeds for Yu Lan before she got safe. Yu Lan bled a lot and he had never done anything for her. Now he needed to do good deeds for her... It had been one day and two nights. A fourth round of doctors walked into the emergency room and even experts overseas were invited here. Sheng Youting could hardly sit still now. There still weren¡¯t any news and he couldn¡¯t bear with it any more! Sore red eyes and the newly grown stubble turned a handsome yet cold face into a trapped beast. He still denied his concerns towards Yu Lan. Anyway, Yu Lan was his wife. How could a man sit still while his wife was in danger? Wasn¡¯t it the responsibility of a husband to ensure his wife¡¯s safety? He stood up and stopped a doctor who was just taking a shift! ¡°I want to go inside!¡± He said with extremely red eyes! ¡°It¡¯s the emergency room and you are just a family member!¡± Sheng Youting almost stared his eyes out! ¡°How could an intact person remain in the emergency room for so long? She is just having a small surgery of miscarriage! There are so many women taking this surgery every year! How could it take so long for my Sheng Youting¡¯s woman! It has been one day and two nights! It¡¯s such a long time that even a heart by-pass surgery can be done!¡± ¡°Why!¡± Why the other women were fine taking this kind of surgery while Yu Lan was in danger! Chapter 9 - Unable to Get Pregnant Again Chapter 9: Unable to Get Pregnant Again Trantor: Mia Sheng Youting didn¡¯t believe this private hospital though it was a top grade one. He called his secretary immediately and asked him to arrange for a helicopter. With the helicopter, he could transfer Yu Lan to another hospital and even a overseas one. However, the hospital staff threatened him for Yu Lan¡¯s death if he moved her. Sheng Youting did admit that he was actually threatened. He could give up transferring Yu Lan but he needed to go inside and check her status. He needed to know what had be of the woman who had married him for two years! Atst, Sheng Youting got the doors of the emergency room opened with his unshakable social status and numerous social resources. He got sterilized and changed, put on a bouffant cap and a mask, and brushed his hands and fingernails clean before entering the emergency room. Yu Lan¡¯s face was dead white. Sheid there quietly in the bed. Pipes went in both her mouth and nose. Her legs were held up high by the support and opened. She was just like a soap bubble, about to burst at any time. She was such a lively person before. Nothing on the earth could stop her! Howe she became so fragile? Her both hands were with transfusion equipment. One was for the transfusion of a transparent liquid and another the blood. It had been one day and two nights. Why did she still need transfusion? How much blood on earth did she lose? Figures on medical devices kept changing. Doctors talked with each other in jargons in a calm and quick way. The whole emergency room was just like a battlefield. He was the only one standing there not knowing what to do. He couldn¡¯t even dare to pull her hand, fearing to tear her apart by a touch. Sheng Youting felt dizzy a lot. He couldn¡¯t bear to stay there any longer. He turned around and walked out of the room quickly. Every breath of sterilized water reminded him of the death pale face of Yu Lan. The next morning, it was informed by the hospital that the RH-negative blood was in short. This kind of blood couldn¡¯t be found in its Jincheng subsidiaries and they needed to resort to other hospitals and even radio stations. Sheng Youting failed to describe his feelings when he heard the news. All that in his mind was that the whole world had gone crazy. Bad things came one after another, leaving no room for him to gasp! Yu Yi found Sheng Youting after hearing the news. She wasn¡¯t look good. ¡°Youting, I can offer my blood to my sister. I¡¯ve done this before when I was young. However, I have one condition. You need to get divorce with my sister and marry me!¡± Sheng Youting looked at Yu Yi as if she was a stranger. Was she still the Yu Yi who risked her life digging him out of the ruins? He wanted to wait. However, he couldn¡¯t bear the risk to bet for possible supply of the rare RH-negative blood... Yu Lan was finally saved at the cost of almost all Yu Yi¡¯s blood. Yu Bonian and Wen Ruyu looked at Sheng Youting sadly, ¡°Youting, you need to treasure our Yiyi. Lan hasn¡¯t liked her since young. And Yiyi still risks her life just to save you frompunction. What a stupid kid!¡± Sheng Youting replied in a cold voice, ¡°I knew. I¡¯m a person who repays goodwill with kindness, and enmity with justice.¡± He stared at Yu Bonian and Wen Ruyu after finishing his words. And the two silenced and quivered a little after catching his eyes. What did he mean? Was he going to hold them ountable for Yu Lan¡¯s miscarriage? Now, the two could only wish that Yu Yi was still able to have Sheng Youting¡¯s heart in hands. After the surgery, Sheng Youting was called to the office by the dean. The dean started to talk to him in a saddened tone the moment he was sat, ¡°Mr Sheng, you need to get prepared that your wife may not be able to get pregnant again in the future.¡± Though Sheng Youting¡¯s breath was held for a second, he still put on a cold smile and said in aposed voice, ¡°Those who are born sterility can still be cured. Besides, my wife is able to get pregnant. The miscarriage this time is just an ident and won¡¯t happen again.¡± Moreover, it was not an ident at all! Thinking of this, Sheng Youting clenched his fist finger by finger with great force. Resentment gradually crawled his eyes! Chapter 10 - Not Loved by Him Chapter 10: Not Loved by Him Trantor: Mia The dean continued, ¡°There are problems with her chromosomes. She is just lucky this time to get pregnant. However, the fetus doesn¡¯t totally get out of her womb in the miscarriage. It¡¯s an emergency and we have no choice but to get the fetus out with instruments to ensure her safety. What¡¯s more, the patient is suffering from hemorrhea. We need to save her first, but indeed, the instruments do harm her womb...¡± Sheng Youting was unable to ept the fact that he might not able to have babies. Not a single man born in rich and powerful families could! An emotional outburst struck him as he stood up. In his eyes, killing intents built up and grew even thicker. ¡°It¡¯s a m praxis!¡± The dean swallowed. Though the angry Sheng Youting was really terrifying, he had no choice but to continue his speech, ¡°Mr. Sheng, we have informed you about all possible risks when asking you to sign the paper. And you did confirm about this situation before. Not a single hospital in the world can promise an intact womb under such a circumstance.¡± Sheng Youting had to admit that he wanted Yu Lan safe even though she might not get pregnantter or he had to agree with the condition put forward by Yu Yi. It was his choice to save Yu Lan¡¯s life. However, after Yu Lan¡¯s life had been assured, he wanted to smash the hospital! Sheng Youting did smash the dean¡¯s office! The dean was afraid and just hid far away. The man there in the dean¡¯s eyes would seem to kill him if he would dare toe near. In the end, Sheng Youting left in anger. And Yu Yi entered the office and pushed a pile of sex pictures to the dean, ¡°I kept my words. You told Sheng Youting that Yu Lan wouldn¡¯t get pregnant again and I returned your sex pictures.¡± Collecting his pictures and wiping off the sweat on his head, the dean replied, ¡°Miss Yu, what if she gets pregnantter?¡± Yu Yi smiled, ¡°I won¡¯t give her the chance. If the Sheng family know about Yu Lan¡¯s sterility, they would drive her out of the family. And then nobody can help with the situation!¡± The dean worried a little in his heart. He wondered which would be worse, destroying his reputation or offending Sheng Youting. Four dayster, Yu Lan woke up and didn¡¯t see Sheng Youting before her eyes. What she saw was the divorce certificate on her bedside table. She smiled on seeing the certificate and tears came out of her eyes violently. She was so stupid. It had been made clear by Sheng Youting that he loved Yu Yi and would divorce her and marry Yu Yi. Why couldn¡¯t she still see through it? It had been 11 years. How did shee through it? She always managed to find an excuse to y in the Sheng family since they met for the first time. She was once bitten by a dog and afraid of any dog since young. However, she always tried to pet the big dog raised by Sheng Youting. She would pretend to be happy even though she was actually scared to death. Stealthily she wrote diaries about loving him. Stealthily she recorded his preferences. Stealthily she deliberately made troubles for girls loving him. Stealthily she dreamed his dream. She studied hard, wishing to skip grades and stay closer to that of his. She wished to be a straight A student like him. She wanted to be a well-matched mate of his. She tried hard skipping rope, jumping high, and drinking disgusting pure milk, only to wish to get taller and be a perfect match of his in terms of height. When she finally reached 19, and thought that she had turned from a ugly duckling to a white swan, she said love to him. However, he ignored her. She continued and resorted to the newspaper. She even sent him flowers. She did everything she could to chase after him. However, she knewter that Yu Yi had just said love to him three months before. And Yu Yi was the one he loved. She began to retreat, pretending not having loved him at all. She wouldn¡¯t dare to straightly look into his eyes. She acted like a thief and felt inferior, fearing that her love would be identified by others... Though they didn¡¯t have a wedding when they married, she was still very happy. The marriage certificate was such a sacred thing that she beat the other love rivals by just having it in hands. However, she was defeated by the fact that he didn¡¯t love her. Holding the divorce certificate tightly in hands, Yu Lan just wanted toy down quietly and have a sleep. And a new life would be started after the sleep. Nevertheless, tears went out of her eyes automatically once she closed her eyes and gradually winded to her auricles... The divorce certificate was deformed under great force. With twitching shoulders, she couldn¡¯t control her ever more depressed emotion and jerkier breath any more. She finally burst into tears. An aura of sadness filled in the ward. Meng Shaoqian stood outside the ward. Knowing what happened in the ward, he stepped in and closed the door with red eyes, ¡°Lan, do you remember what I¡¯ve said? Don¡¯t be emotional and be calm. Bread is the staff of life. Eat something. You are not a single person now. Do you ever notice about it?¡± ¡°Em.¡± She replied with a nasal sound. Chapter 11 - Indulged in Depression Chapter 11: Indulged in Depression Trantor: Mia 11 Indulged in Depression The zing sun at noon was kept off by the ckout. In the room, Yu Lany in the bed awake and she rolled over. Suddenly, the door was opened from outside. She sits up and saw Yu Yiing near. Yu Yi had left the hospital and today she came back with skirt and high heels on. With both arms crossed, she was on her high horse. Looking at Yu Lan from top-down, she smiled, ¡°How do you feel after the miscarriage?¡± Bearing what Meng Shaoqian had said in mind, Yu Lan controlled her temper and didn¡¯t want to answer Yu Yi. However, seeming to know her response, Yu Yi shook the ss bottle in her hand. It was filled with an unknown liquid and right in the liquid there was a small flesh ball, ¡°Do you know what it is?¡± Yu Lan frowned at her words, ¡°What?¡± ¡°See? It is the baby taken out from your belly.¡± Yu Lan¡¯s face went pale gradually. She couldn¡¯t help losing control of her emotion, ¡°You! What did you say?!¡± ¡°Do you want to know how I get it?¡± Yu Yi continued and kept shaking the bottle, ¡°Haha, money talks. After all, it is just an unwanted fetus. And it would be extremely interesting if I invite a master from Thand and use it to raise a little devil for no one knows how much resentment is hidden inside it.¡± Yu Lan¡¯s blood froze. Even though she didn¡¯t believe in ghosts and she only worshiped her mother to express her grief, she was still now about to get mad! It was her baby! ¡°Return it to me!¡± Yu Lan¡¯s voice trembled and so was her heart. She tried hard to persuade herself to listen to Meng Shaoqian¡¯s words, i.e., to keep calm and eat more, for she was not alone anymore! ¡°Return to you? Howe you need a dead little bitch? It¡¯s just a dead trivial thing.¡± Yu Yi burst into a wildugh and started to shake the bottle violently, ¡°I¡¯m told that babies are immersed in the amniotic fluid when they stay in their moms¡¯ bellies. I use formalin instead for yours. I¡¯m such a kind aunt to him.¡± Yu Lan was more than irritated. She pressed her left chest, trying to calm down. She wanted to get off the bed and grabbed the bottle from Yu Yi¡¯s hands. However, she did promise Meng Shaoqian to keep calm and rest in bed. Yu Lan couldn¡¯t help gnashing her teeth, ¡°You are lying!¡± ¡°Haha! I knew you would say that, so I did a DNA test for it. The test said it was indeed my man¡¯s baby and it proved that you did steal a sperm from my man.¡± Yu Yi took out of the DNA report and threw it to Yu Lan, ¡°You can check it yourself.¡± Picking up the report and looking through the data, Yu Lan felt her breaths were held and her hands started to tremble, ¡°Yu Yi! Give it back to me! Back to me!¡± ¡°Haha, I¡¯m so delighted to witness your sufferings. A third person trying to get into a beloved couple deliberately shall deserve a miscarriage! Has the doctor ever told you that you won¡¯t get pregnant again? Well, because you are the third person, your baby go to hell on behalf of you!¡± Staring at the bottle in Yu Yi¡¯s hand, Yu Lan couldn¡¯t help shedding tears. Seeing Yu Lan¡¯s response, Yu Yi deliberately shook the bottle more violently, ¡°Aunt will teach the little baby about a restless soul! If the baby feels ufortable, all it could do is to me its mom for not protecting it well and is unable to let it rest in peace after death!¡± The words became thest straw that broke the camel¡¯s back! Yu Lan was crashed! She lifted up the quilt, jumped out of the bed, and rushed to Yu Yi! ¡°You give it back to me!¡± ¡°Yu Lan! What are you doing!¡± Meng Shaoqian pushed the door open, rushed to Yu Lan, and hugged her! ¡°What are you doing now?! Do you remember what you¡¯ve promised?!¡± Hanging onto Meng Shaoqian¡¯s white doctor uniform with force and using it as a support, Yu Lan looked up at Meng Shaoqian and cried sadly with a trembled voice, ¡°Shaoqian, I tried! However, she didn¡¯t let me go! I beg you, beg you to get the bottle in her hand for me! I beg you sincerely!¡± Meng Shaoqian looked back at Yu Lan and only heard a heartbreaking scream from her, ¡°Right inside it was my baby!¡± Seeing the sinister and ruthless eyes of Meng Shaoqian, Yu Yi was frightened and shrank a little. She turned around and nned to leave with the bottle holding tightly in hands. However, she was pulled by Meng Shaoqian with a great force and she fell onto the ground! Without saying anything, Meng Shaoqian grabbed the bottle from Yu Yi¡¯s hands and put it on that of Yu Lan¡¯s. Then he spatted words briefly, ¡°Fuck off!¡± Crawling outside reluctantly, Yu Yi retorted, ¡°I¡¯ll lodge aint against you to the hospital!¡± Meng Shaoqian scorned, ¡°The hospital is opened by my family, the Meng family! You are free to lodge aint as long as you are able to!¡± Yu Lan didn¡¯t notice about Yu Yi¡¯s leave. She held the bottle tightly and went nk, indulging in depression... Chapter 12 - Drop off the Edge of the Earth Chapter 12: Drop off the Edge of the Earth Trantor: Mia There was no trace about Yu Lan. She seemed to drop off the edge of the earth. Not a single record including any transportation or bank record about her was found ever since. None was found. She was seemed to be erased from the city. Sheng Youting went back to Jincheng one monthter and checked all possible records about her. However, nothing was found. It took him a month to attend a closedmercial meeting in the United States. All attendees, including cleaners shall be kept uncontacted. And their telmunication facilities shall be shut down. Originally, he had arranged for an experienced female care worker of the Sheng family to take care of Yu Lan during the month. However, after knowing about Yu Lan¡¯s infertility, the Sheng family had used its social resources and gained a divorce certificate between Yu Lan and Sheng Youting. And then Yu Lan disappeared from Jincheng. Not a single trace was found. It seemed that she avoid cameras even when she got out of the hospital and took a taxi. Yu Lan had loved Sheng Youting for 11 years. She kept appearing in front of him since their first meeting when she was 13. She deliberately came to his home and asked him for help even it was a simple and easy task. She pretended that she knew nothing and looked up at him innocently, ¡°Brother Youting, how can I get the answer of this task? I¡¯ve no idea.¡± ¡°Think it yourself. If you can do it yourself, then stay and have a meal, or else, get out of the room and go back to the Yu family!¡± It took her just a while to work out the solution. And then it was natural for her to deliberately stay and then eat and sleep in the Sheng family. These tricks becamemon cases during the summer and winter vocations. She had been acting like a dogskin ster in the past and Sheng Youting wanted but failed to get rid of her. However, all of a sudden, she was gone from his world. It seemed that she had nevere to Sheng Youting¡¯s world. Sheng Youting thought he wasposed. It was just a divorce. After all, he didn¡¯t love her. He had done his best to save her. Even though he had to go abroad, he had also arrangedpetent servants for her. He signed the paper and she had her life saved. He didn¡¯t owe her anything. He told himself that Yu Lan was a nobody to him. He didn¡¯t love her. The two-year marriage they had was dull and unpleasant... The divorce freed them both. It had been a year. Sheng Youting never came back to the home once lived by him and Yu Lan together. He was very busy expanding his business empire. If someone would mention his wife Yu Lan, he would correct them in a gentlemanly way, ¡°Ex-wife.¡± During the year, Sheng Youting¡¯s gossips were more often the case headlines of entertainment news. Today it would be his story with a top model and the other day would be with a movie queen. He was now always the center of gossips. It couldn¡¯t be imagined that he was once a man hating gossips. He now lived in the vi which was lived by him before marriage. His study room was filled in with newspapers publicizing his gossips. He would return to the Sheng family to have a meal every week as routine. Sitting around the table, he was scolded by the grandfather, ¡°You are now in charge of the Sheng family. Why do you appear in the newspapers with actors every day?! It seems that you are not going to stop until you have ruined the reputation of the Sheng Shi!¡± Sheng Youting ate elegantly, ¡°My identity can help them improve their values. In turn, their publicity can be turned into part of Sheng Shi¡¯s marketing. It¡¯s a win-win cooperation. Not a penny is spent. Why not?¡± He said indifferently. However, all elder members around the table were so irritated by his words that they don¡¯t even want to eat anymore, ¡°You want to increase Sheng Shi¡¯s publicity. All right, you can do it with one who is with a greater publicity and invent as many scandals as you can with the one! However, your private life is a total mess on the newspaper. You seem to change your female partner everyday!¡± Sheng Youting smiled, ¡°If my female partner remains unchanged, people would feel dull.¡± Leaning against the back of the chair, grandfather dropped his teacup on saucer with force! ¡°You haven¡¯t acted nice at home throughout the whole year! Are you ming me for agreeing your mother to use social resources and get the divorce certificate?! You¡¯ve said you don¡¯t love her. And since she can¡¯t get pregnant anymore, I¡¯ve satisfied your wish by the way! You family help you divorce the woman you don¡¯t love, but you should act like we are enemies. Howe!¡± Sheng Youting didn¡¯t even bother to lift his head. He said slowly, ¡°Grandfather, thank you for what you have done.¡± Finishing his words, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and got up, ¡°I have a meeting tonight. I will go first and enjoy your meal.¡± Seeing Sheng Youting was about to walk out of the dinning room, grandfather grabbed the bowl in front of him and threw it to him! However, Sheng Youting left without looking back. Grandfather¡¯s acts frightened younger generations at the table. They all tried to persuade him to calm down. Sheng Youting¡¯s father supported the grandfather by his hands, ¡°Dad, no need to get angry. No need!¡± Pointing to Sheng Youting¡¯s back angrily, ¡°You all can see that he is not acting nice. Who he is angry with?! He used to live in the family once a week. Now he would takepany meetings as excuses just after a few bites of food. Is he the president of the world who needs to bear anti-terrorism in mind and worry about ISIS? He always has to attend meetings when he is called to have a family dinner! Meetings! How about holding a memorial meeting for me?!¡± ¡°Dad! Don¡¯t get angry and utter words like that. I would educate my unfilial son on behalf of you!¡± It was a year without Yu Lan. Sheng Youting was like a quiet sea. Though he was with great power, no obvious measures was taken by him. However, only the grandfather dare to scold him. The others would be frightened and silenced on catching his eyes. Though it was said by everyone that Sheng Youting didn¡¯t love Yu Lan, the name of Yu Lan was still avoided by people around him. Chapter 13 - Finally Notice the Blood Shedding Wound Chapter 13: Finally Notice the Blood Shedding Wound Trantor: Mia Time flied. Sheng Youting¡¯s temper got worse as time went by. Most of the time, he found himself was almost taken by an impulse to turn Jincheng upside down. The name of Yu Lan haunted him every night no matter how hard he tried to sleep in peace. He never went again to ces once stayed by Yu Lan. In the past, he could see Yu Lan every week when he went home. They would live in the suite at the third floor. However, now he couldn¡¯t bear to stay there for Yu Lan¡¯s traces could be found everywhere in the room. Sheng Youting left and drove to Lanlinyuan. Lanlinyuan was the house where the bone ash of Yu Lan¡¯s mom rested. The servant guarding Lanlinyuan still acted nice. He didn¡¯t seem to know about Yu Lan¡¯s leave and thought Yu Lan was too busy toe there. He expressed his hope to wish Yu Lan to pay more visits. He even asked Sheng Youting about when would they n to have babies. Sheng Youting didn¡¯t want to mention baby again. The word of baby became a taboo in his heart. Sheng Youting chatted a few words casually and went to the worship hall. It was on the tform where the incense were burnt that Sheng Youting saw the letter box. The letters were all wrote by Yu Lan and were meant to be sent by her to her mom. ¨D¨D Mom, Today, his school held a basket ball again and he won. I knew he would be the winner. He is so great. I love him so much. He is my prince charming. He is my dream. Mom, do bless me to realize my dream! ¨D¨D Mom, The month beforest, an earthquake hit province C and I dug him out bare-handed from the ruins. Seeing what he had be, my heart broke. I was afraid that he would die. However, when I woke up, it turned out to be Yu Yi who saved him. Maybe he was indeed saved by Yu Yi after I had been hit by te. I don¡¯t care. After all, he don¡¯t love me. It doesn¡¯t matter who has saved him. Anyway, I won¡¯t dare to appear in front of them after he has been together with Yu Yi. I¡¯m still not used to the feeling of inferiority and bitterness when they are together in front of me... ¨D¨D Mom, You once said that we two were a perfectly match even from the name. The name of Sheng Yn was hidden in a positive saying in China. You said only the Sheng of Shengshi deserved me. He indeed deserves me and even exceeds my expectation. However, I¡¯m a good match. To marry him, I give up my rights to inherit the Yu family topensate Yu Yi. I don¡¯t have my dowry, and I¡¯m always greeted by ironic words because of it. It makes me hard to act confidently. However, I love him. It¡¯s the path chosen by myself and I will continue it even with my head bow... ¨D¨D Mom, I was sick yesterday, a high fever to 42 Celsius degree. I called him but he didn¡¯t care about it and asked me to solve it myself. When the busy signal was sent from the other side, I cried. I was proud in front of others and only felt inferior in front of him. I wouldn¡¯t dare to speak out my difort, fearing that he would thought me ipetent and therefore looked down on me... It was helpless and miserable... ¨D¨D Mom, Yesterday, he came back drunk and vomited. I didn¡¯t mean to help him for he didn¡¯t care about mest month. However, finally, I still tidied him up, dressed him again, and fed him honey water. I even cleaned his body with hot towels for I feared that he would got ill if not cleaned and my heart would broken. I can¡¯t make up my mind to totally give up loving him. I deserve what I got. It¡¯s evident that he never loves me for one second. I¡¯m asking for it. I deserve it. I deserve it... ¨D¨D Mom, I miss you so much. You are not here. I don¡¯t have arms to rest in. I feel lonely, helpless lonely. Maybe, I would die on the street one day, but no one would collect my body and feel sorry for me... Mom, you are not here. I¡¯m alone and feel lonely... I want toe to your side. At least, you will still love me even though no one else would... ... After reading all the letters, Sheng Youting felt him now was like a paper scrap and would got shaken even by a breath. Quivered were his breaths and fingers. He was in a panic, and tried to put all the letters back to envelopes. However, letters fell piece by piece. He tried to pick them up but failed. If he knew his heart would ache and fall into pieces, he would not choose to read them. All emotions suppressed during the year finally sought their way out. He missed her so much. She had apanied him for ten years. He was used to her endless twittering, persistent pursuing, and aggressive behaviors. He was even more ustomed to her love. However, all were gone... He now knew how about a broken heart. Every single thin fine hair turned into a steel needle, piercing every bit of his body. Yu Lan¡¯s name was like a pen handwriting written randomly on his chest and was ignored by him. However, as the color of the handwriting grew darker as time went by, it became a tattoo. It stayed on his chest and no difort was caused. He was used to it. However, it was now enucleated together with the flesh nearby. He couldn¡¯t find it now even if he looked down at his chest. What he could find was just a blood shedding wound. It was so hurt that he couldn¡¯t bear to cast a second look on it... Chapter 14 - Died with Babies in Her Belly Chapter 14: Died with Babies in Her Belly Trantor: Mia It hurt so badly that Sheng Youting leaned against the wall and pressed his hand to his forehead. It was after reading Yu Lan¡¯s love and hatred written in the letters before he knew that during the past 11 years, he wasn¡¯t a bystander of Yu Lan¡¯s love at all. He actually participated in it and had yed an important role. She spent all her time on him, from her girlhood to adulthood. At first, she was naive and looked at him with brightly shined eyes butter she distanced him gradually and began to act timidly. Finally his indifference was like sharp knives, dismembering her love and affection step by step. She turned into another him and became more and more indifferent. He sent her himself to the guillotine of love. However, with her once love in hands, his heart ached badly. Sheng Youting left Lanlinyuan and drove to Number one, Nanfu. He was here for Jing Shenxing. Sheng Youting went into the room and said to him directly, ¡°I want to thoroughly investigate Yu Lan¡¯s traces again.¡± Jing Shenxing closed the door and frowned. He was puzzled and asked Sheng Youting, ¡°Haven¡¯t you investigated herst time? However, no record is found.¡± Sheng Youting grabbed a cup, poured himself a ss of water, and drank it up, ¡°No. This time I want to investigate Meng Shaoqian. They disappear together. They must have changed their identities.¡± ¡°What?¡± Walked to Sheng Youting in quick steps, Jing Shenxing continued, ¡°Yu Lan has eloped with Meng Shaoqian?¡± It was thest possible fact that would be admitted by Sheng Youting. His face turned sullen all at once, seeming to warn Jing Shenxing to mind his words. Jing Shenxing got his message and waved his hand, ¡°I¡¯m just joking. All know that Yu Lan loves you. Howe she suddenly moved by Meng Shaoqian¡¯s honeyed words and went with him?¡± Jing Shenxing knew that Sheng Youting had been like an active volcano throughout the year and was about to erupt at any time. It had a lot to do with Yu Lan¡¯s leave. Or else howe he turned into another person? He rejected all friends reunion meetings. All that in his mind was to earn money. He was like a robot. Sheng Youting replied, ¡°Inform me about your progresses and don¡¯t ignore any trivial clue.¡± ¡°OK. Be at ease. All detailed information from a person¡¯s birth to death can be found in our system. There must be traces.¡± After leaving the Number one, Nanfu, Sheng Youting got very anxious and his anxiety grew as days went by. It became a routine of Sheng Youting to look through Yu Lan¡¯s letters everyday. A scene kept appearing in Sheng Youting¡¯s head. In the scene, Yu Lan kneed down in the ruins. She was moving rocks bare-handed while crying his name out... Once those uncertain things confirmed, he became persistent. What Sheng Youting wanted to do now was to find Yu Lan out. In the past 11 years, Yu Lan gradually became part of his body. She now stayed firmly besides his heart. Not a single error was allowed. It was not until recently before Sheng Youting knew that he was afraid of pains. Therefore, the blood-shedding wound left by her would get better and recovered. As long as she was still there, he wouldn¡¯t ache again. He was a selfish person and was desperate to find her out! One weekter, Sheng Youting received a call from Jing Shenxing. Jing Shenxing said in a hurry, ¡°Youting! Come to number one, Nanfu! Be quick!¡± Not a single moment was dyed after he had received the call. He knew Jing Shenxing must have found traces. He drove fast to number one, Nanfu. Jing Shenxing closed the door the moment they entered the room with a anxious look, ¡°Drink water first! Don¡¯t worry.¡± Seeing Jing Shenxing¡¯s actions, Sheng Youting couldn¡¯t help getting angry, ¡°Jing Shenxing, talk straightly!¡± Lifting his lips, Jing Shenxing was hesitant to say something and pushed Sheng Youting to the sofa. Sheng Youting couldn¡¯t bear his way of talking. He patted Jing Shenxing¡¯s hands off by a wave! ¡°Jing Shenxing, what the hell! If you continue to beat around the bush, I will throw you out of the window now!¡± Replied with a sign, Jing Shenxing said, ¡°Youting, I¡¯m sorry.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Sheng Youting clenched his fists with such a great force that blue veins appeared. Jing Shenxing took a pile of documents out and spread them on the sofa piece by piece, ¡°Yu Lan and Meng Shaoqian changed their identities and went to the New Zend. And they got married with their new names. You know that Meng Shaoqian was able to change the identities for Yu Lan.¡± Today, Yu Lan died because of postpartum hemorrhage. ording to her will, all her organs would be donated... These were the pictures and documents that I received a moment ago. 12 o¡¯clock and 7 minutes at noon, she died with babies in her belly. Died with babies in her belly? These words froze Sheng Youting¡¯s blood. All his pores tightened at once. He was reminded of the hemorrhage that Yu Lan had one year ago.¡± What he felt in his heart was not fear but sharp pain, but he managed to actposedly, hiding his helplessness and weakness. Sheng Youting grabbed the documents from Jing Shenxing¡¯s hands. The wedding photos of Yu Lan and Meng Shaoqian, Yu Lan¡¯s photos when she lied in bed pregnant in the hospital and photos of the dead baby were all included in the documents. And even the death report in English! What he wanted to see was not these! ¡°Wedding photos? Who recognizes? I don¡¯t believe! It¡¯s not her! She left after miscarry! Howe she have babies again? I want to investigate her and she died instantly? And she died even at today! There won¡¯t be so many coincidences in the world.¡± Jing Shenxing had no other way but to say straightly out the facts based on the information he got, ¡°She has been away for one year and a month. The baby is Meng Shaoqian¡¯s! Howe the baby be yours!¡± Closed his eyes, Sheng Youting tried to suppress the emerged angry emotion, ¡°I don¡¯t care about her baby bastard! Shenxing, arrange for everything in the New Zend there! I will see who dare to use Yu Lan¡¯s organs! I want to see her, died or alive!¡± Jing Shenxing silenced for a while, and was hesitated to persuade Sheng Youting, ¡°Youting, it¡¯s Yu Lan¡¯s will. You two get divorced. You need to respect her. After all, she died now. You should let her go and let her rest in peace. Don¡¯t disturb her any more.¡± Sheng Youting stared at Jing Shenxing! He felt he came to the edge of a cliff. A step forward would kill him but Yu Lan seemed to be there down under the cliff. He didn¡¯t have the energy to care more. He needed to jump down and found her! He couldn¡¯t control his emotions and looked back at Jing Shenxing with red eyes and a raised voice! ¡°Who has ever got divorce with her? Any divorce without the presence of the people themselves are illegal! I don¡¯t recognize the divorce certificate!¡± Who was the dead! Totally bullshit! I was not in peace now and howe she! She said she had loved me for 11 years. However, she married another man? What kind of bullshit love? On what basis did she stop loving me? Was it agreed by me? Dare she go to the heaven leaving me behind?! I would peel her skin off! I would drag her to the hell and ensure she was trapped there forever! It was rare for Sheng Youting to get angry and say so many words. However, after speaking all words out, it seemed that energies within his body fell short and he gasped. His fingers even trembled when taking out the smart phone. The phone was nearly dropped down to the ground. He dialed and issued orders with a sullen face, ¡°Arrange for a private air line to New Zend for me now! Immediately!¡± Chapter 15 - Come back Home with Me Chapter 15: Come back Home with Me Trantor: Mia Sheng Youting was now thirty thousand feet above the sky on the ne. Though his attention was caught by the pile of documents beside him, he managed not to touch them and only nced at them asionally. He denied the so-called evidences deep down his heart! Jing Shenxing looked closely at Sheng Youting and Sheng Youting seemed to remain calm. He, Sheng Youting, and other fellow boys born in rich and powerful families were all brought up with all their wishes satisfied. They could have everything they want. They would not turn hysterical for anything, for it was the emotion only urred to those who were felt themselves inferior and got angry because they couldn¡¯t have what they wanted despite hard work. Jing Shenxing knew it was of no use objecting Sheng Youting now. What he could do was to state facts earnestly, ¡°We can¡¯t be as powerful as we are in Jincheng in New Zend. Now, Yu Lan is the legal wife of Meng Shaoqian. And Meng Shaoqian has numerous social resources there. Without Meng Shaoqian¡¯s consent, we will vite localws if we want to take Yu Lan¡¯s body home.¡± Sheng Youting scorned at his words, ¡°I will put it again. There are no body or will. She is still alive! Meng Shaoqian? He would be powerful in New Zend because of the support offered by the Meng family. However, what if the Meng family fall apart?¡± Jing Shenxing opened his mouth wide on hearing this. He was so astonished and couldn¡¯t say anything. It was not until now before he finally realized that Sheng Youting was not act on impulse. He was determined to achieve his ends no matter what could happen. However, was it worthy to escte the conflicts of they two to the confrontations between two families just for a divorced and dead Yu Lan? Jing Shenxing dare not to talk to Sheng Youting anymore, fearing to further stimte him. It took Sheng Youting over a dozen hours to arrive at New Zend. And he went directly to the hospital without a break. Sheng Youting had ways to keep Meng Shaoqian waiting. Meng Shaoqian was able to give up his domestic career because of his love to Yu Lan. However, he was born a member of the Meng family. How could he act regardless of the well-being of the Meng family? Sheng Youting called the old Mr Meng and threatened him before getting on board, ¡°Grandpa Meng, Meng Shaoqian takes my wife away from me. Bother you to tell him to keep hands off. Or else, though it would be hard for me to make the Meng group bankrupt in a short time, it would be easy for me to knock it down and prevent it to rise again even at the cost of the Sheng group. After all, it¡¯s Meng Shaoqian who takes my wife away from me. And now I don¡¯t care anything except my wife.¡± The moment Sheng Youting was on board, scandals of the Meng group, including that of the hospitals and the retail industry became headlines. Meng Shaoqian stood outside the ward, and his eyes were red and swollen. He seemed to be overwhelmed and had suffered from mental shocks. They used to be intimate ssmates and now they were not friends anymore. He looked at Sheng Youting with fists clenched and extreme hatred filling in his eyes, ¡°Body and organ donation is the will of Lan. However, because of your prevention, we miss the best time for donation!¡± ¡°Will?¡± Sheng Youting smiled indifferently, ¡°Stop saying words like that. She is not dead apparently. If organs are donated, it could be excuses for you to persuade me that the dead one isn¡¯t Yu Lan. Lies are eventually lies. Hehe, take me to her.¡± Sheng Youting acted aggressively while Meng Shaoqian tried hard to suppress his indignation. Tension arose under two kinds of different extreme emotions. Considering the situation of Meng family, Meng Shaoqian was forced to recept Sheng Youting. He turned around and went forward with the medical staff. One aisle after another, they walked down and down. Sheng Youtingwas more and more depressed. There seemed to be endless turns. They seemed to head toward darker and darker ces. The darkness has never disturbed him like this. He felt extremely unsafe, ¡°Why aren¡¯t we heading to the inpatient department?¡± He believed that Yu Lan was right here in the hospital. However, they were not heading to the right ce. Meng Shaoqian suddenly stopped and he said with a trembled voice, ¡°I wish she was in the inpatient department. At least, she is ... alive.¡± Trying to ignore the haunting sadness around Meng Shaoqian, Sheng Youting took a deep breath and continued his walk. He kept telling himself that Meng Shaoqian was a scum and he was lying to him. He, Sheng Youting has been Yu Lan¡¯s love for ten years. He was her true love. There was no way for her to marry another man and give birth to babies for him. All were lies. The lies were made up by Meng Shaoqian and he wanted him to give up. Meng Shaoqian stopped outside the mortuary. Seeing the word of mortuary, Sheng Youting took another deep breath and couldn¡¯t believe it was their destination, ¡°Where is she? Why do you bring me here?¡± ¡°Right inside the room.¡± Meng Shaoqian burst into tears suddenly and couldn¡¯t help feeling sad. He leaned against the wall and firmly pressed the edge of his palm against his forehead, trying to hide his difiture by covering his eyes. ¡°If you won¡¯t give up until you see her, go inside then. And then I don¡¯t want to see you for the rest of my life! And so as Lan!¡± Sheng Youting stepped back, attempting to go to other ces, ¡°Meng Shaoqian, stop ying tricks!¡± Meng Shaoqian was a little bitck of strength but still irritated by Sheng Youting¡¯s acts, ¡°I don¡¯t want you to see her! Because she don¡¯t want to see you! If it were not for the pressure you¡¯ve posed on the Meng family domestically, I won¡¯t bring you here to disturb her!¡± Sheng Youting gasped. He seemed to be unable to breath. He pulled down his cor so violently that a button was pulled off. There was air clogging in his chest and it made him extremely ufortable! ¡°I will stop your y here!¡± Sheng Youting put on a cold smile and then acted confidently seeing the door in front of him. The medical staff got them dressed with specific cloth, mask, and hat. Cold air greeted him as Sheng Youting walked inside following the medical staff. Right there on the morgue bed, the in white cloth was partially lifted off. Lying there was a pale woman. The familiar eyebrows, the nevus at the corner of her eyebrow, the closed eyes, the straight nose, and the diamond-shaped mouth all told him that it was Yu Lan. She slept there quietly. All including her usual pink lips were pale. Sheng Youting wanted to turn around and leave the room but failed. He couldn¡¯t move his feet. He was forced to look closer. However, the closer he looked, the harder of his breath. His body got cold. He reached out his finger and put it under her nose, unwilling to move it away. He kept telling himself that she was ying and he wouldn¡¯t let her win. This time he was determined to take her home! However, two, three, and even more minutes were gone. Not a slight breath was detected. It was impossible for a woman alive to hold her breath for so long. Sheng Youting could feel that he was gradually getting carried away as time went by. He touched her cold face with his trembled hands and hugged her head. He had never been so difiture. He could even bear with the heartache when he saw her letters. However, tears dropped from the corner of his eyes quietly. Sheng Youting pressed his face against hers and couldn¡¯t help uttering words with a trembled hoarse voice! ¡°Lan, Lan, how about not ying so hard to fool me? I swear to treat you well. I will let you win and won¡¯t argue with you anymore. Come back with me. It¡¯s cold here! Extremely cold! You would get sick!¡± Chapter 16 - His Woman Chapter 16: His Woman Trantor: Mia At first, Sheng Youting thought it was just a trick. Yu Lan¡¯s body was not true. Maybe, they plotted the scene by using drugs. However, the longer it took, the more desperate he felt. The body he touched remained cold as time went by. She lied there quietly. It was indeed a dead body. Sheng Youting staggered and managed to stand straight. Cold air wrapped him. He could sense it with every pore of his body. He turned around and took a swing at Meng Shaoqian directly! No one could stop him! Sheng Youting pushed Meng Shaoqian against the floor, seized him by the throat, and punched his face. Sheng Youting acted like a desperate beast, roaring out his indignation, ¡°Meng Shaoqian! Why can¡¯t you take good care of her since you¡¯ve eloped with her?! Why can¡¯t you take good care of her!¡± Grabbing and pulling Meng Shaoqian¡¯s cloth above his chest, Sheng Youting punched him heavily again! Sheng Youting shouted himself hoarse, ¡°You killed her!¡± Now he was grieved and depressed. Sheng Youting thought himself a proud man. Even though Yu Lan had left with Meng Shaoqian, he had never thought of looking for her. There were plenty of fish in the sea. Women would line up fighting for the chance to be Mrs Sheng. There was no reason for him to treasure Yu Lan! However, now he knew clearly that he didn¡¯t want to let Yu Lan go! He felt it was rather difficult to live without her! Actually it was known by him for long that Yu Lan was a part of his life. However, he refused to admit it. Now the cruel fact stating in front of him almost drove him crazy! Sheng Youting wanted to beat Meng Shaoqian to death right here! He couldn¡¯t help hating him! ¡°You know that she has had a surgery before! Her body is weak and she can¡¯t get pregnant anymore! Why do you get her pregnant! Why do you let her have your babies! You are a murderer!¡± Sheng Youting took another swing but was stopped hardly by the medical staff. He and Meng Shaoqian were taken away from the mortuary and sent to the office! Others failed to persuade them two. And Meng Shaoqian stopped them to call the police. There was no other way but to let they two fight more violently. Sheng Youting was pulled by four to five strong medical staff. His strength was so great that he would seem to grab a chair and beat Meng Shaoqian to death if was not properly stopped! Meng Shaoqian also stared at Sheng Youting with eyes wide open due to indignation, ¡°Sheng Youting! If it were not for you! If it were not for your divorce with her and Yu Yi¡¯s vicious act to stimte her with her taken fetus in formalin, she would not be so depressed and evenmit suicide! Or else, she would not leave Jincheng just because she can¡¯t bear with what has happened! You actually are the murderer! If it were not for your tolerance of Yu Yi, Lan won¡¯t be knocked down and can¡¯t get better since then! You are all murderers!¡± An aura of sharpness arose around Sheng Youting, ¡°Don¡¯t me others for the mistakes made by yourself!¡± ¡°Pah¡± Meng Shaoqian smiled ironically, ¡°My fault? Pooh! All these people around her are busy plotting her! How could you be qualified to say it¡¯s my fault?! They dare to plot her just because she loves you and would make all possible concessions for you! They want to drain all her value up by your name! Her dad plotted the marriage between you two! By using the marriage, she lost her shares of the Lan family. In addition, by taking advantage of herpunction about taking her sister¡¯s boyfriend, they deprived her of all her shares and the right of session to the Yu family! Atst, she suffered from miscarriage. However, Yu Yi was still unwilling to let her go and stimted her to mad when she was weak after surgery! Why did I take her away? Because she was alone and had no one to depend on! She begged me! Beg me to take her away! She felt desperately lonely! I was the only one she could rely upon! Only me had ever considered her wholeheartedly!¡± Meng Shaoqian¡¯s voice grew and became trembled as he spoke more! Everyone could tell his love and hatred from his words! Sheng Youting didn¡¯t know how but ear ringing stuck him. All he could sense was the moving of Meng Shaoqian¡¯s lips. He was now totally blocked from voices outside. Chapter 17 - Inseparable Part of My Life Chapter 17: Inseparable Part of My Life Trantor: Mia All people knew in the past that Yu Lan loved him though he didn¡¯t feel it at all. All people around Yu Lan forced her to give up all her could rely upon by taking advantage of her love. Finally, she was plotted to marry him but he failed to be the one Yu Lan could rely on... She had a home. A home was supposed to be a shelter. However, he was the source of all troubles. She was actually alone and helpless... She wrote to her mom telling her about her feelings. She felt sad for even she would one day die on the street, no one would collect the body and feel sad for her. She had no one to rely on and wanted to go and find her mom. Facts stated in front of him were like ropes, wrapping around Sheng Youting¡¯s heart and bing tightened as more facts were recalled. Sheng Youting felt it be harder for him to breath. He regretted his leave to America for the meeting. She was his wife and he should be there apanying her. If he did stay by her side, all the other things wouldn¡¯t happen then. He would care for her and warm her heart after the surgery. Compunction haunted and hurt him. He became less aggressive, ¡°I will take her back home.¡± Meng Shaoqian roared back, ¡°How dare you! She is my wife now!¡± Sheng Youting¡¯s eyes were still red. He managed a cold smile, ¡°Your wife? You two go abroad using fake IDs, and you are now wanting to seek protection from thew?¡± ¡°We are protected by thew of the New Zend! Lan¡¯s will is to donate her organs and scatter her bone ash into the sea. You want to bring her home? Are you going to bury her?! She¡¯s not willing to be bound by anything anymore!¡± Sheng Youting replied ironically, ¡°Meng Shaoqian, she is my wife and it¡¯s me who shall sign her cremation file! Her tombstone will be marked with the words of ¡®My Dear Wife¡¯ by me!¡± It was hard for Sheng Youting to bring a dead body from a hospital in New Zend. What he could do was to use the domestic Meng family to threaten Meng Shaoqian. Three dayster. It became a normal scene for the Meng family to be rejected in transactions and its share price plunged. Meng Shaoqian was forced to give up Yu Lan¡¯s body. Even though the Sheng family also suffered greatly from counterattacks, Sheng Youting didn¡¯t care at all. He was mad now and didn¡¯t answer any call from the Sheng family including that of his grandpa! He acted arbitrarily like a reckless monster! No one was able to persuade him. Even the Grandpa Sheng called Jing Shenxing and said, ¡°Shenxing, help me to persuade him. You can kill him if he persists! Let him die in New Zend! Throw him to the street and feed him to wild dogs!¡± Jing Shenxing of course wouldn¡¯t kill Sheng Youting. He could tell these were just Grandpa Meng¡¯s angry words. However, he still told Sheng Youting what Grandpa Meng had said. Sheng Youting dialed back and there immediately came bad words, ¡°You son of a bitch! Are you nning to overturn the Sheng family?! You are making enemies with all families that are close with the Meng family!¡± Holding the phone with a poker face, Sheng Youting replied indifferently, ¡°After all, I¡¯m now just setting traps for non-Sheng-family people. Tracing back, my tricks was much lower than these used by those who has forced Lan to leave. Grandpa, you know me. You are all participants. I can make enemy of the whole world for Lan¡¯s sake. However, I¡¯m reluctant to hurt you. If you want me to die, there¡¯s no need to bother Shenxing. Sent several world-ss killers then. It would be easy and fast. I may die quietly in my dreams and would have no chance to fight back. It would be great for no further troubles would be caused thereby.¡± Sheng Youting¡¯s voice was so calm that Grandpa Sheng had no other way but to lower down his voice even though he was irritated and couldn¡¯t help stretching his neck long, ¡°You are still ming grandpa!¡± Sheng Youting called a spade a spade, ¡°Yes, I do! I me all people involved! However, I¡¯m a member of the Sheng family and you have raised me up. What you¡¯ve given to me is so much that I can¡¯t pay back even at the cost of my life. Thus, what I can do is just to shoulder the me myself for the Sheng family. Grandpa, Lan has apanied me for 11 years. It¡¯s her who has dug me out from ruins during the earthquake even though her hands are soaked in blood. Isn¡¯t she afraid of death? No, she just loves me so much. She has done so much but what she has done is plotted as Yu Yi¡¯s work. She has never spoken of it. She loves me just as you are. She is willing to die for me. She possesses an equivalent position just as you in my heart. She is also my family and is an inseparable part of my life...¡± Chapter 18 - Separated in Two Worlds Chapter 18: Separated in Two Worlds Trantor: Mia Sheng Youting hung up. Grandpa Sheng at the other side burst into tears when he put down the phone... He threw the phone towards his daughter-inw and scolded, ¡°If it were not for your repeated words that Lan couldn¡¯t get pregnant and give birth to a boy for the Sheng family, I would not divorce them and my grandson would not hate me so much!¡± Grandpa Sheng gave up stopping Sheng Youting. He finally decided to unite the families close to them together and fight with the Meng family. After all, the Sheng family had a greater impact then the Meng family. The Sheng family won the battle! Under great pressure, Meng Shaoqian had no way but to hand over Yu Lan¡¯s body and allow Sheng Youting to bring her home. For dead people, Chinese people normally buried them and let them rest in peace. However, Yu Lan¡¯s wish was to be free. No matter how reluctant was Sheng Youting, he still wanted Yu Lan to have what she wished. Crematorium. Holding the cold hand, Sheng Youting kneed down and pressed the cold hand towards his face. He said in a soft and gentle voice, ¡°I don¡¯t want to cremate you if there is any chance. I want to preserve you for the rest of my life. However, I¡¯ve never done anything for you or satisfied any of your wish. It¡¯s the only thing I can do for you though I¡¯m reluctant...¡± Jing Shenxing stood besides. Watching Sheng Youting leaning weak beside the dead body, he frowned. He wondered howe for if Sheng Youting would cherish Yu Lan then, they wouldn¡¯t have ended like this. However, he dared not to speak his thoughts out, fearing to stimte Sheng Youting to mad. What was more, transporting Yu Lan¡¯s body home with huge cost was to some extent the evidence of Sheng Youting¡¯s madness. ¡°Lan...¡± Sheng Youting Held the cold hand tightly, ¡°Believe me. I¡¯m actually happy about your visits to my home. However, you¡¯ve never said that you love me. You like to y around and many boys like you. You say you feel yourself inferior in front of me. Actually I feel the same way in front of you...I¡¯ve heard you are the child bride of Meng Shaoqian and you¡¯ve never deny this. Lan, I¡¯m... also...of low self-esteem in front of you. I thought the person you loved was Meng Shaoqian.¡± Jing Shenxing couldn¡¯t believe what he had just heard. Howe Sheng Youting feel inferior? Was it because of his low-esteem in front of Yu Lan that he pretended to not care her at all? Yu Lan¡¯s body was gradually pushed into the fire. Sheng Youting felt that what the zing fire burnt was not Yu Lan¡¯s body but his viscera. He hurt so much and felt he was in the hell! The door was closing. Sheng Youting¡¯s blood froze for a second and he rushed to the door without thinking! Jing Shenxing responded quickly and grabbed and hugged Sheng Youting tightly. He lifted his head and called the workers, ¡°Come and help me to pull him! He¡¯s gone mad!¡± Workers all rushed to Sheng Youting. They were surprised for they had never seen such a crazy family member. The cremator was not a ce to which a random visit could be paid. It would kill people! Sheng Youting wanted to get rid of all restraints but failed. He shouted to Jing Shenxing, ¡°Tell the worker to turn the machine down! I don¡¯t want to cremate her. I want to preserve her. I can take her to see the world outside! I don¡¯t want to cremate her! Make them stop! Stop!¡± Sheng Youting¡¯s gone mad. He kept shouting and struggling. He regretted. If he preserved Yu Lan¡¯s body, no matter she was cold or not, it was she and he could see her. However, if she was cremated, he could only see her picture in the future... When holding the cinerary casket in his hands, Sheng Youting finally knew clearly the fact that he and Yu Lan were separated in two worlds now. I loved you. However, I couldn¡¯t spare every effort and do anything for you now... Chapter 19 - Killed Her Life Chapter 19: Killed Her Life Trantor: Mia Down in the basement, flickering lights blurred the faces stayed inside. Sheng Youting sat in the chair and leaned against the backzily with his head tilted. And his legs were rested on the old desk in front of him. Now he was ying the beer zip-top can in his hand casually. The voice uttered by him was calm yet a little bit cold, ¡°My wife is unable to be pregnant. About this thing, who is it that permits you to tell it to the Sheng family?¡± ¡°Sir Sheng! Please spare me! I beg you! I didn¡¯t say it!¡± Pressed against the wall by two muscr men, the dean was with a bloody nose and a swollen face and looked extremely bad. Cracking sounds came, and Sheng Youting was smashing the can in his hands. However, he remained calm and his body still leaned against the back leisurely, ¡°I thought you are a dignified man. I didn¡¯t expect that you should want to talk this thing explicitly. It turns out that you don¡¯t want to be treated nice.¡± The dean¡¯s eyes was so swollen that he could barely open his eyes, ¡°Sir Sheng. I really didn¡¯t tell anyone. It must be the second daughter of the Yu family. It was her who wanted me to tell you that her elder sister could not get pregnant in the future. Actually, I didn¡¯t even participate in the surgery. Though it was a surgery about miscarriage, I didn¡¯t know and hadn¡¯t cared about whether she could get pregnant in the future. I was forced to do this for she had threatened me with my faults that shall be kept as secrets!¡± It was not until Sheng Youting heard a familiar name before he lifted his head and looked at the dean who was barely standing, ¡°Yu Yi?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± The dean was more than regretted now. If he knew what he was threatened to do would irritate Sheng Youting, he would rather to let his nude pictures seen by everyone. If Sheng Youting insisted, his life was probably going to be doomed, let alone his reputation! Sheng Youting stood up, drank all the remaining beer in one sip, threw the can to the floor and stepped his feet on it until it was t, ¡°I nned to get things eventer. However, it seems that these people need to be handled as soon as possible!¡± Lifting his feet up, Sheng Youting kicked the smashed can to the wall. The sound made thereby scared the dean and made him quiver, ¡°Sir Sheng! It¡¯s none of my business. I¡¯m also a victim! I¡¯m also a victim!¡± ¡°What a joke! Isn¡¯t my wife the very person who suffered most?¡± The words were extremely cold even Sheng Youting smiled. He was now like a beautiful viper, ready to attack. The dean couldn¡¯t help quivering. He slipped to the ground and kneed on his feet suddenly. He cried and begged. He even used words of respect when he beg the man in front who was twenty years younger than him, ¡°Sir Sheng! I¡¯m sorry for Mrs Sheng! Beg you to forgive me! I have children and parents to feed. Beg you to spare me!¡± Sheng Youting went back and forth in the room, depressed and irritated, ¡°It¡¯s said that doctors are with gentle hearts. How could a dean of a hospital neglect his responsibilities and put my wife in such a unfortunate position. You¡¯re not deserved to wear the white coat.¡± Thinking of this, Sheng Youting¡¯s heart hurt again. He stared at the can far away and talked to himself in a low voice, ¡°When I was in America at that time, I thought about your condition and didn¡¯t care whether you could get pregnant or not. We could try test-tube babies or even adopt one and keep secret from the family. No one would know whether it was your baby. I did have ways to cover the truth...Though I didn¡¯t know my attitude towards you then, I never thought of abandoning you just because you couldn¡¯t get pregnant. After all, you had apanied me for years...I had responsibilities to take care of you until your old ages. Since it was we two who would stay with each other till our old ages. Kids didn¡¯t matter, for I would eventually die and kids would not go with me.¡± Step by step, Sheng Youting walked up the stairs. The basement was full of the echos of the steps and the dean got extremely nervous. He was just about to get a relief seeing Sheng Youting¡¯s steps towards the end of the stairs. However, words of Sheng Youting camezily, ¡°Since you¡¯re not deserved to be a doctor, leave your hands here. Or else, you would grad your pen and give wrong diagnoses or grab your scalpel and end the lives of patients.¡± The dean was supported by the two muscr men and digesting what Sheng Youting meant, ¡°Ah!¡± His bones was broken along with his sad cry. Then his hand tendons were half disconnected. Though his hands now could still lift things up, he couldn¡¯t hold a scalpel anymore. The dean fell on the ground and twitched, ¡°Ah! Sheng Youting! Are you meant to kill me?¡± Chapter 20 - How Hard Could It Be Chapter 20: How Hard Could It Be Trantor: Mia Sheng Youting stopped, and looked down upon the dean, ¡°Hehe? Aren¡¯t you alive now? However, my wife lost her life. So you are exchanging my wife¡¯s life for your social status and reputation. Do you deserve it? You own her and I will get it even on behalf of her!¡± The next day, scandals about the dean were publicized and shocked the whole industry. The dean¡¯s rtionships with multiple women and his secret deals with medical and medical devicepanies to get rebates were known and scolded by people within the industry. The dean was now like a rat crossing the street. He didn¡¯t even dare to walk out of the door of his home. His wife wanted to divorce with him. His hair turned white in just two days. Without any sign, the share price of the Yu group suddenly plunged to the bottom limit when the stock market opened in the morning. Therge amount of stocks purchased at the early stage were now all sold at the same time. This situationsted for a week in a row. Though the market indexes were red, these didn¡¯t help with the current situation. Retail investors didn¡¯t know what had happened and went panic. They sold their shares along with the trend. Thus the share price of the Yu group remained acting poor. However,ter, multiple private equity firms started to took in shares with a super low share price. Seeing the recovering of the share price, retail investors again followed the trend and bought shares. After the share price continued to increase to the ceiling for two days, the private equity firms started to dump their shares. The share price then was back to its previous state, plunged to the bottom limit for one week. Tortured and unwilling to suffer from great emotion changes, retail investors were in a panic and dared not to buy the shares of the Yu group. Bank loan applications initiated by the Yu group were not agreed by both the state-owned ormercial banks at that time. Yu Bonian had no other ways but to sell all his properties and save the share market. Even his real estates were mortgaged to the bank finally. Yu Bonian did ever think about asking Sheng Youting for help. However, his calls were always answered by Sheng Youting¡¯s secretary, saying that he was abroad for meetings and all information concerned shall be kept asmercial secrets. It was natural that Sheng Youting couldn¡¯t answer the call. Yu Bonian was expecting that Sheng Youting woulde back abroad and then help the Yu group with the social resources of the Sheng family. He was apparently trapped into this matter. However, he failed to check who it was. There were so many private equity firms within the country uniting together to suppress the share price of the Yu family, leaving no room for the Yu family to fight back. Sheng Youting was out of touch for long. Yu Bonian wanted to mortgage the house of Lanlinyuan. However, the application was grabbed and stopped by Sheng Youting. Yu Bonian was happy to know he was back and went to him by pulling Yu Yi together. However, when he arrived at the Lanlinyuan, he found Sheng Youting was cleaning Yu Lan¡¯s photo frame and her mom¡¯s picture was also there. Yu Bonian swallowed... Putting down the white cloth in his hands, Sheng Youting said indifferently, ¡°You can¡¯t sell the real estate of Lanlinyuan.¡± Yu Bonian went directly to the topic, ¡°Youting, if you mean it, I will follow your orders. You are finally back! Uncle has waited hard for you for long!¡± ¡°How hard could it be? Aren¡¯t these the normal things that would happen to a business?¡± Sheng Youting turned around and smiled at Yu Bonian. The smile was a little bit weird. Even though it was still hot in September, Yu Bonian was chilled by the smile. ¡°Youting!¡± Yu Yi came to Sheng Youting and acted like a spoiled child by holding his arm, ¡°It has been a year. You are always out of touch. This time, thanks god, youe back at a perfect timing. Please help us. My dad¡¯s hair is getting white because of the matter.¡± ¡°Ok. However, I would like to take a pawn first, or else the board of directors wouldn¡¯t agree with the mortgage.¡± Sheng Youting agreed to help without a second thought. He then rejected Yu Yi¡¯s hands and walked out of the door. Yu Bonian was uneasy. Why did Sheng Youting ever mention about the board of directors? However, on a second thought, it was reasonable since the board of directors wouldn¡¯t agree about the mortgage if no pawn was granted. ¡°Ok, I got your message but my assets now are all mortgaged to the bank.¡± ¡°How about Yu Lan mom¡¯s shares in Yu Yi¡¯s hands? These would count.¡± Sheng Youting walked down the stairs and sat on the sofa. He didn¡¯t even ask for drinks. Chapter 21 - Wanted to Kill Him Chapter 21: Wanted to Kill Him Trantor: Mia Yu Bonian was super embarrassed sitting there in the sofa, not knowing whether it was better to stand up or sit still. However, if he stood up, he would act like a reporting subordinate. However, Sheng Youting hadn¡¯t contacted the Yu family for long. It had been more than a year. They were not as close as before. Now Sheng Youting acted indifferently and this made Yu Bonian uneasy. Yu Yi clenched her fists and tried to sit intimately beside Sheng Youting, ¡°But these...these are mine now...¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. After all, You are a member of the Yu family. You can take these back after the Yu family goes through the crisis.¡± Sheng Youting acted nice and his words did make sense. However, it never came to Yu Bonian that their act to temporarily mortgage these shares was like sending a goat to the mouth of a tiger. The share price of the Yu Group failed to rise again. The money lent from Sheng Youting was all used to save the the Yu Group, yet it didn¡¯t help at all. The money lent was used up. Sheng Youting refused to help them again. And the shares were all Sheng Youting¡¯s now for the mortgage term expired. Yu Bonian was on the edge of breakdown! He managed to find Sheng Youting and vented his grievances to him. Unexpectedly, Sheng Youting scorned upon his words, ¡°You deserve it, don¡¯t you?¡± ¡°Youting?¡± Sheng Youting seemed to be very happy. He stood beside the wine cab, poured himself a ss of red win, and drank slowly. ¡°These shares used to be Yu Lan mom¡¯s. There is no reason for another person to possess them. I¡¯m asking for them for Lan. She would be d to see theses shares back.¡± ¡°Sheng Youting! It¡¯s you who has plotted this, isn¡¯t it?!¡± Sheng Youting burst intoughter! ¡°I nned to only get her mom¡¯s shares back. However, I changed my mind after seeing your indifference at her funeral. Your faces weren¡¯t change a little after you had seen her picture!¡± It suddenly came to Yu Bonian¡¯s head that he did see Yu Lan¡¯s picture. However, he was in a rush then and didn¡¯t notice about it, ¡°You said Lan was dead!?¡± ¡°Yeah, aren¡¯t you happy about it?¡± Yu Bonian was shocked to hear the news. He had never thought of her death even though he didn¡¯t want Yu Lan to inherit the Yu family and even didn¡¯t want to see her for her presence would remind him of the fact that he was able to gain his career for her mom¡¯s sake in the very beginning. Death? She was his daughter after all. His face turned pale, ¡°What?!¡± Sheng Youting sat in the sofa with his legs crossed, ¡°Since you have used me to threaten her to give up her right to inherit the Yu family, it means the Yu family has nothing to do with her anymore and there¡¯s no need for me to show mercy. It won¡¯t be bad to let thepany which made her disgusting disappear.¡± Yu Bonian was astonished with his eyes wide open and screamed, ¡°How dare you treat me like this! I¡¯m Yu Yi¡¯s father and Yu Yi is the one you love!¡± Sheng Youting scorned, ¡°I love Yu Yi? Isn¡¯t the love a plotted one by you? It was Lan who dug me out! What measures have you taken to keep her mouth shut towards this matter?¡± ¡°Youting! I can exin!¡± ¡°It has been many years after the matter. There¡¯s no need to exin anymore. If you do want to exin, how about finding Lan and exining it to her?¡± Yu Bonian was scared to hear his words and his legs felt like jelly, ¡°Youting? Do you want to kill me?¡± ¡°I won¡¯tmit a crime, but an eye for an eye is probably.¡± Sheng Youting drove Yu Bonian out. However, Yu Bonian had mortgaged all his properties. He was homeless now. He had no alternative but to rent a house. A family of three was packed in a house about 60 square meter in an old apartment. Yu Bonian wasined by Wen Ruyu and Yu Yi every day. His temper got worse as time went by andter he even beat his wife and daughter! Yu Yi couldn¡¯t bear with it anymore. She found Sheng Youting outside his vi where he lived after marriage without telling her parents. She rushed to Sheng Youting and hugged him, weeping pitifully, ¡°Brother Youting, it¡¯s cold today and my feet are numb. Let my rest in your home. I don¡¯t want to go back to that home anymore.¡± The words of ¡°Brother Youting¡± got Sheng Youting¡¯s attention and he lowered his head to see her. She did resemble Yu Lan, but she didn¡¯t have the little nevus at the corner of eyebrow. They were 80% alike. Yu Lan once came to the Sheng family and looked at him like this when she was 13. She also said she was cold, didn¡¯t want to go home, and wanted to stay in the Sheng family for one night. It was October in the autumn. Even though his face and words were cold, he did agree to let her stay... Chapter 22 - What Else Could You Serve Me Chapter 22: What Else Could You Serve Me Trantor: Mia Yu Yi did make it to stay in the Sheng Youting¡¯s vi. However, what drove her crazy was that she was forced to put on the same cloth which Yu Lan used to wear! Yu Lan was dead! Nightmare woulde to her if she wore the cloth a dead person would wear! She acted pitifully and even begged but nothing worked. What Sheng Youting did was to grab her lower jaw and said, ¡°Wear it or fuck off. However, if you leave, I promise you would live a even more miserable life then before. Tomorrow, I will take you to the hospital...¡± Sheng Youting was too aggressive that Yu Yi got panic and wept, ¡°What are you going to do?¡± The next day in the stic surgery hospital. Sheng Youting took out Yu Lan¡¯s picture and pushed it to the top stic surgeon, ¡°This is what I want. I need every detail the same. If there is any difference, change it.¡± Yu Yi was originally sitting on the chair. However, when she heard the words, she saw a demon in front of her. She was so scared and the only thing in her head was to get up and run. However, Sheng Youting was faster than her. He closed and locked the door! The surgeon neglected what had happened. He stood up and left calmly via the back door of the lounge. After all, Sheng Youting was the boss of the stic surgery hospital. As an employee, he had no say in boss¡¯s private life. Sheng Youting pressed his arm against the door, stopping Yu Yi. What Yu Yi saw from his eyes was malicious and terrifying. Yu Yi didn¡¯t know it was since when that Sheng Youting had changed into another person. He was not like before. Nothing of him was the same except for his face. ¡°Brother Youting!¡± ¡°Hehe!¡± Sheng Youting scorned, not knowing whether Yu Yi was on purpose. He had never heard she call him like that. And Yu Lan stopped calling him like this after he was together with Yu Yi. Every time Yu Yi called him like this, he would be reminded of what he had done to Yu Lan. It was like a knife piercing his heart though he missed the appetion a lot, ¡°What would you think is the reason that I keep you alive after you have hurt Lan so much?¡± Yu Yi suddenly felt the door against her back turned into an ice war, icing her body to dead, ¡°W...Why?¡± ¡°Because you resemble Lan. If it were not for your look, what else would you think is the reason that keep you alive?¡± Yu Yi¡¯s body turned stiff, ¡°Why?! I¡¯m the person you love!¡± ¡°You have never been the one that I love. Lan knows me first. She is always by my side. However, she is outgoing and can y well with everyone. I¡¯m not sure whether she loves me or not. When you express you love to me, I just think you resemble Lan...however, Yu Yi, isn¡¯t it because you have seen Lan¡¯s dairy that you say you love me? You just want to rob everything that belongs to her, no matter the Yu family, her father, and her love!¡± Tears kept running out of Yu Yi¡¯s eyes. She didn¡¯t know why she lost herself in the game. She meant to rob Yu Lan¡¯s man, but lost her heart in the process. Seeing the once obedient man was now full with resentment, she cried, sad and desperate. Sheng Youting rubbed his knotted eyebrows, and shout impatiently! ¡°Stop crying! Lan would never cry in front of me even she feels wronged a lot. Stop crying or death, choose one!¡± Yu Yi was silenced by his words at once and put her hands against her mouth tightly, fearing to make any noise! After knowing what Sheng Youting had done, Jing Shenxing thought he was either sick or mad. Jing Shenxing found Sheng Youting and was astonished to see the woman eating with him. ¡°Yu Lan?¡± Wasn¡¯t she dead? He was on the scene when she was cremated. However, who else would the woman be except Yu Lan? Sheng Youting served Yu Yi a bowl of soup and said in a gentle voice, ¡°Say hello to Shenxing.¡± Chapter 23 - Only Love Her for the Next 11 Years Chapter 23: Only Love Her for the Next 11 Years Trantor: Mia Sheng Youting¡¯s act was a little bit ridiculous. Yu Yi wanted tough but her timidity stopped her. She managed to pull her mouth corner up though it was awkward, ¡°Shenxing, nice to meet you.¡± Bang! Heavily put down against the table was Sheng Youting¡¯s tableware. He was more than furious. If it were not for the face Yu Yi was wearing now, he would p her heavily without doubt! ¡°Good-for-nothing! Lan would never greet people like this. Be natural and poised! Don¡¯t act like we own you money!¡± Yu Yi shrank her shoulder by instinct on hearing the words. She was so afraid and wanted to cry but couldn¡¯t. Then there came Sheng Youting¡¯s order, ¡°Fuck off!¡± She immediately followed the order and ran upstairs! Jing Shenxing took a tumble! He thought for a while before looking at Sheng Youting, ¡°Youting, let¡¯s go out and take a look. Don¡¯t stay in Jincheng anymore. I remember you¡¯ve promised Lan to take her out to see the world.¡± Jing Shenxing actually thought Sheng Youting was sick. However, he couldn¡¯t tell him frankly. What he could do was to find another way to distract him. Sheng Youting leaned back and rubbed his temples, ¡°I think I can find Lan and get her back.¡± Jing Shenxing pulled a chair beside the table out and sat down, ¡°Youting, Yu Yi is Yu Yi. She can¡¯t be Yu Lan even though they are sisters. Their personalities are not the same. How could it possible for you turn Yu Yi into Yu Lan?¡± Sheng Youting was determined, ¡°I can! I¡¯ve devised a series of training lessons for her. Yu Yi has to master them! As long as she tries hard, she could be Lan eventually.¡± Jing Shenxing¡¯s blood froze. The Sheng Youting before his eyes was so terrifying. He was probably gone mad, ¡°Youting! You need to see a psychologist!¡± ¡°I¡¯m not sick. I¡¯m just...missing her.¡± Just miss her. He said in a gentle voice, which could hardly be heard. If there were an amplifier, you might hear a trembled voice. Jing Shenxing could tell his grief and broken heart from the feeble voice. He turned around not to see him, ¡°Youting, try to let it go.¡± Sheng Youting shook his head, ¡°I owe her and can¡¯t let it go.¡± Jing Shenxing really wanted to punch him to awaken him, ¡°How would you pay her back? Are you going to act like this and finally force yourself to die? Sheng Youting, look at yourself, are you still the man loved by Lan? Would you really think she would satisfy to see you act like this?¡± Sheng Youting immediately sat up straight upon Jing Shenxing¡¯s words. Not a slight aura of decadence was seen from him now. He picked up the chopsticks again and pulled himself together, ¡°No! I¡¯m still the man loved by Lan. I¡¯m still the man who would be thought highly of by her. I don¡¯t owe her much. I just need to love her for the next 11 years. I will love her like what she has done for me. I used to the best man in her eyes. If I¡¯ve done something wrong, it must be the others¡¯ fault. I¡¯m always the man with a shining aureole in her heart. No one is ever better than me. It won¡¯t be long. I will love her the same way she loves me for 11 years...and then I would stop and continue my new life...¡± Jing Shenxing had never thought that Sheng Youting should love Yu Lan based on his behaviors. However, he did feel the changes of Sheng Youting after Yu Lan was gone. In the past, Jing Shenxing thought love was passionate and should be tested. Twists and turns would exist. However, viewed form Jing Shenxing¡¯s experience, there did exist a kind of love which was embedded in the in daily life. However, if the in and even hidden love was deprived of at once, the person who was used to it would be so overwhelmed with grief that he would hardly wish to live. However, Jing Shenxing still wanted to pull Sheng Youting out from his sad world. He had devised a traveling n to let Sheng Youting travel the world with Yu Lan¡¯s bone ash. Traveling would be a much better choice than changing Yu Yi into Yu Lan. However, it didn¡¯t work. Sheng Youting was unexpectedly determined to change Yu Yi into Yu Lan. No one could persuade him. He would even not allow Yu Yi to go out. He kept Yu Yi practicing Yu Lan¡¯s way of talking and behaving every day. He would get furious if Yu Yi would act a slightly different from Yu Lan. Yu Yi was so scared that she could hardly sleep and eat well every day. It was November and snow gleamed white. Sheng Youting¡¯s heart was frozen and it was too numb to beat.. Chapter 24 - Hold Her in My Arms Chapter 24: Hold Her in My Arms Trantor: Mia One yearter, Yu Yi as usual put on what Yu Lan would wear, i.e., the T-shirt, denim shorts, and sneakers, and ran outside for Sheng Youting vivaciously. ¡°Brother Youting, wait for me!¡± Standing beside the iron door outside the garden, Sheng Youting¡¯s eyes got a little bit wet. He waved towards Yu Yi and pretended to reply her in a cold voice, ¡°Hurry up, or else I would send you back.¡± Yu Yi knew Sheng Youting was not talking to her but to the young Yu Lan at her girlhood. She had learnt a lot on this and now knew how to behave properly. She hopped towards Sheng Youting and put on a fake naive smile, ¡°I¡¯m fast! And there¡¯s no way for me to go back!¡± Sheng Youting stared at her for several seconds. His mind went totally nk. The scene was so familiar to him. In the past, Lan used to hop towards him with a shining smile. However, it was him who took away her sunshine and turned her into another person. Thinking of the past, Sheng Youting hugged Yu Yi immediately and buried his face at the back of Yu Yi¡¯s neck. His voice trembled, ¡°Lan, I knew you won¡¯t bear to leave me. I knew you would be back!¡± Yu Yi gnashed her teeth, living with the fact that she was just a substitute of Yu Lan. She was too cowardly to fight for herself. What was more, she was reluctant to leave this man. Fortunately, Yu Lan was dead forever and she was still alive. Otherwise, she would not even have the chance to be a substitute. She wished she could be the substitute forever. However, life is full of surprises and unexpected turns. The already existed and was thought wouldst gradually changed as time went by. It was November and Jincheng had already had a first snow. However, in the southern city of Ancheng, only an unlined garment was enough for travelers visited there. Wondering around Ancheng, Sheng Youting¡¯s attention was caught by a woman who was with a clean short hair cut above her shoulders. She was holding a stunning little beauty in her arms. Though seemed to be capable, the woman was with a gentle heart. You can tell her tenderness from her way of treating the little girl in her arms. The little girl pointed to the tree, the sky, and the vehicles shuttling around the city. She was curious about everything around her. Sheng Youting guessed the woman must be talking to the little girl about the tree, the sky, the shuttling vehicles, and everything that would seem to be new to the little beauty. She was with such a gentle smile. What a pity! They were so alike. However, she didn¡¯t have the small nevus at the corner of her eyebrow. What a pity! Her personalities didn¡¯t like that of Lan¡¯s at all. Lan was with shining smiles during her girlhood. However, she hid her smile and became indifferent and toughter due to a sense of inferiority. She could with any personality but tenderness. She had never been so gentle and peaceful. What a pity! There did exist a person who would resemble another person in the world. However, they were not Lan. Just as what Jing Shenxing had said, no matter how much Yu Yi resembled Lan, and how many lessons she was trained, she just couldn¡¯t be his Lan forever. Sheng Youting was overwhelmed suddenly. He realized that it was impossible for him to find a same Lan for the rest of his life. The scene before his eyes was so harmony that his eyes got ached and swelled. The girl needed to be held and was seem to be at a very young age. Sheng Youting didn¡¯t know much about kids. He couldn¡¯t tell their ages from the height. He knew the heights of kids vary. You can never get it right just based on the height of a kid. The little girl could be around one or two years old. Sheng Youting was about to turn around and leave but to see a man running towards the woman with a pink ice-cream cone in his hand. He handed the cone to the little girl with a broad smile and offered his cheeks for a sweet kiss. Chapter 25 - Kid Chapter 25: Kid Trantor: Mia Sheng Youting was shocked and stood still. The very man over there was Meng Shaoqian! The kid seemed to be several years old! And the woman beside him and Lan were so much alike! The only difference between them was the absent nevus of the woman at the corner of the eyebrow. Sheng Youting¡¯s breath was taken away and his body shivered. He ran quickly towards them, attempting to catch them on-site! He had to know what happened! He couldn¡¯t shout, or else they would ran! If they were alerted, they¡¯d definitely run! He had seen the cremation of Lan¡¯s body and brought back her bone ash home himself. What was more, to make sure the body was Lan, he had secretly done a paternity test! The test showed it was Lan! Could it be that Meng Shaoqian loved Lan so much and he found a woman alike to keep himpany? However, how about the kid? The kid could be several months at most if he did find another woman after Lan¡¯s death. Apart from gic factors, ording to the kid¡¯s height, her age ranged from one and a half to three years old. Sheng Youting¡¯s head was a total mess now. He just ran to them quickly. However, to his surprise, the family of three identified him. They didn¡¯t run. The man was indifferent. The woman was startled. And the kid was smiling at him. ¡°Meng Shaoqian!¡± Sheng Youting stopped in front of them. He called Meng Shaoqian by his name to cover his panic. Meng Shaoqian answered peacefully, ¡°Yes, it¡¯s me, but she is not the one you are looking for. There¡¯s no way for your Mr Sheng to collect all people resembling Lan even at the cost of breaking up a family!¡± Meng Shaoqian remainedposed and confident. It seemed that he was open for Sheng Youting¡¯s investigations. His words stopped Sheng Youting¡¯s irrational and even mad actions. Sheng Youting thought it impossible, for if the woman were Lan, how could he exin the paternity test result? In addition, if the woman was indeed Lan, Meng Shaoqian would hide her far away from him, not leaving a slight chance for him to meet her again. They now stayed domestically! Seeing the family of three leaving, Sheng Youting was saddened without knowing why. His heart beat so fast. It was rare for even though he stayed with Yu Yi every day, his heart never beat for her. However, just before, the woman not so like Lan made his heart beat again. It was strange that he didn¡¯t hear a word from the woman during the meeting. Was it because that they were afraid to let her voice be heard? Thinking of this, Sheng Youting rushed to the family again. His bodyguards and secretary followed him tightly and ran through the scenic spots of Ancheng. Meng Shaoqian walked side by side with the woman and hugged her with one arm. He pretended to walk slowly in aposed way. However, Sheng Youting rushed to them and grabbed the kid in the woman¡¯s arms! The woman was so terrified by the sudden grab that she screamed! ¡°Ah! Give my kid back to me!¡± Sheng Youting was startled. He stood still, seeming to not aware of the crying little girl in his arms and his mad actions done at such a crowded street. He cried upon the woman¡¯s voice. ¡°Lan...¡± His voice trembled. He didn¡¯t even notice the kid¡¯s cry. He didn¡¯t feel pain even though Meng Shaoqian punched him hard immediately. The woman¡¯s scream was like a sharp iron awl, going straightly to his heart. His heart ached so much that he couldn¡¯t even breath. No matter how he trained Yu Yi, her voice never resembled Lan. He had never found a same voice as Lan, but now he did. In a blink of the eye, there also came Meng Shaoqian¡¯s bodyguards. The kid in Sheng Youting¡¯s arms was taken back. Seeing Yu Lan leaving with the kid in arms, he was desperate to run after them. However, he didn¡¯t bring enough bodyguards here in Ancheng. Night fell. With a pile of documents in hands, he knew that the girl was one and a half years old. Since Yu Lan had been away from Jincheng for three years, the girl must be Meng Shaoqian¡¯s baby. However, he didn¡¯t care it at all. He wanted Yu Lan only. Chapter 26 - The Little Angel Sent by God Chapter 26: The Little Angel Sent by God Trantor: Mia Sea tide vi in Ancheng. The kid was put on bed in her room while Yu Lan was hugged by Meng Shaoqian in another room. Meng Shaoqian patted her gently on her back, trying tofort her, ¡°Lan, I¡¯m here. I¡¯m here! You little treasure Qibao is here too!¡± Meng Shaoqian¡¯s back was against the wall, protecting Yu Lan from her unconscious self-torture of hitting her head to the wall repetitively. Her head was hard but Meng Shaoqian bore the pain she gave to him. It was two babies that Yu Lan had in her belly when she got pregnant two years ago. One was taken out in the miscarriage surgery. Originally, it would be perfect to take another baby out. However, Yu Lan cried and begged him hardly, ¡°Brother Shaoqian, I¡¯ve done a test after marriage. It turns out that there are some problems with my chromosome. The doctor said it would be hard for me to get pregnant. I beg you, beg you to help me to save the remaining baby!¡± Of course, Meng Shaoqian was reluctant to let her take the risk to keep the baby, ¡°We¡¯ve taken one out. If you insist to save another one, that may kill you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s all right. It¡¯s all right. Nowadays, medical technologies are advanced. You must have ways to help me. I, I still have a house. Though it¡¯s left to me by my mom and I¡¯m reluctant to sell it, I think she won¡¯t me me if the house is to save her grandson. I can send to house to you as apensation. Brother Shaoqian, I beg you!¡± Meng Shaoqian was a doctor. He knew and was on good terms with a lot of excellent doctors. He contacted the top doctors he knew in this area immediately to help Yu Lan save the baby which shall be taken out originally. Yu Lan¡¯s miscarriage surgerysted for two days and one night in others¡¯ eyes. However, it was actually a half miscarriage surgery and a baby saving surgery at the cost of Yu Lan¡¯s life. At first, all went well. However, unexpectedly, Yu Lan was stimted by Yu Yi so much that she got depressed. She was indulged inpunction, self-usation, resentment, and despair, which was not good for saving the remaining baby in her belly. Yu Lan knew it clearly when she was conscious. So she begged Meng Shaoqian to take her away from Jincheng. It was not easy for her to carry the baby. When she was conscious, she would give her baby sweet prenatal educations like the sun in March, warm but not to hot. However, when she was not conscious, she would seek for self-torture desperately. She would knee down on the ground and kowtow, murmuring in her mouth repetitively, ¡°Forgive me, baby. Mom is the sinner who can¡¯t save your life.¡± Meng Shaoqian had spared every effort to cure Yu Lan¡¯s mental trauma. He always kept herpany. Every time when she wanted to torture herself, he would hug her and made himself the target for her to let out herpunction. If it couldn¡¯t help, he would then use a dose of sedative. Even his alumnus who worked in a New Zend hospital was trying to persuade him to put Yu Lan in a asylum. However, he couldn¡¯t bear to put her in a asylum and let her suffer. How could these people in a asylum take care of a pregnant woman? In just several months, Meng Shaoqian got gaunt. He was unable to sleep through a night. Finally, the baby was born. Upon the first cry of the little baby, he knew that Yu Lan was cured. She looked at the baby with care and love even though tears was shed from her eyes. Right in her eyes was the shimmering warm sunshine in March days. And then she was upied by the baby all day. She waited for the baby to open her eyes in the morning and took care of her throughout the day with all her energy. The kid cured all her diseases... It was an angel sent by the God to her. However, they identally met Sheng Youting today and he robbed her angel away. It drove her crazy again. Meng Shaoqian hugged Yu Lan tightly, ¡°Lan, be quiet. Qibao is sleeping now. You would awake her. Listen, it¡¯s her breath!¡± Yu Lan was led into the kid¡¯s room by Meng Shaoqian. She came beside the pink little bed with one hand supported by the edge of the bed and another hand touching Qibao¡¯s supple ck hair. Qibao¡¯s eyshes were long and curled. Her diamond-shaped pick little mouth was closed now, just the same way she saw every day, ¡°Qibao is still here, not robbed by others. Still here, still here...¡± Chapter 27 - Wont Be Able to Pay Back Chapter 27: Won¡¯t Be Able to Pay Back Trantor: Mia Meng Shaoqian pulled a quilt over and spread it over the foam floor mats in the kid¡¯s room, ¡°Lan, let¡¯s sleep in Qibao¡¯s room tonight. We can protect her during the night. What¡¯s more, she can see us the moment she wakes up the next morning. She would be very happy. Isn¡¯t it a great idea?¡± ¡°Lan, you need to know that I can¡¯t live without you and Qibao. You two are an inseparable and essential part of my life.¡± Yu Lan fell asleep hearing Meng Shaoqian¡¯s murmuring. Shrinking herself in Meng Shaoqian¡¯s arms, she got rxed as time went by. Meng Shaoqian knew he couldn¡¯t avoid Sheng Youting in the end, but he never expected the confrontation would be so soon. He didn¡¯t want to go back here domestically. However, Qibao was a premature. She was with congenital deficiencies and couldn¡¯t walk even she was nearly two years old now. Her body would get allergic when she was with them abroad. Only here in Ancheng, she could live without getting allergic. He wanted to leave here bringing Yu Lan. However, if their leave would worsen Qibao¡¯s conditions, Yu Lan¡¯s disease would definitely get worse. Storm wasing and no one could stop it. Yu Lan dare not to leave Qibao when she woke up. She didn¡¯t want to go out again. Even though she saw cars stopping at every exit of themunity, she still feel at ease as long as she held Qibao in her hands. Sheng Youting knew it took time. He only wanted to talk to Yu Lan when he took her kid away that day. However, he could clearly feel that she was crashed and was so fear that she got desperate. The kid was so important to her. If he wanted Yu Lan to go with him, he must ept the kid first. However, Meng Shaoqian was not willing to let them go. Sheng Youting called Meng Shaoqian in the hotel, ¡°You are asking for a second confrontation just as what has happened one year ago, aren¡¯t you?¡± Meng Shaoqian was in his withe gown in the hospital office when answering the call, ¡°The Meng family is not the one a year ago and can confront with the Meng family. Since you insist a lose-lose situation, what I can do is to ept your challenge. Now matter what would happen, I will always ensure my family a good life.¡± Meng Shaoqian knew storms woulde again after what had happened one year ago. He had brought his families trust funds since then. He won¡¯t let them live a hard life because of him. There was no way for a possible ruined family. Sheng Youting smiled gently, ¡°It¡¯s yourst resort.¡± ¡°Lan has walked out from the extremely unpleasant experience when she was with you. She is happy to be with me. The one taking thest resort is you.¡± The phone was hanged. Only three dayster, the money Meng Shaoqian spent to buy trust funds was used to be an act of moneyundering. The guarantee was no longer a guarantee for Meng Shaoqian¡¯s family now. All confrontations were brought up to the table again. Night. Meng Shaoqian and Yu Lan slept there on the foam floor mats of the kid¡¯s room. Yu Lan was quite normal today. Hearing the sound-sleep breaths of Qibao, she put her arm over her eyes, ¡°Shaoqian, I don¡¯t want to see Sheng Youting again. I don¡¯t want to be involved in his life again. It used to be a total mess. I only want Qibao now.¡± Meng Shaoqian¡¯s blood froze for a second. Yu Lan had never mentioned Sheng Youting. He thought she had forgotten him. However, it turned out that she did remember, but she only wanted Qibao. ¡°Lan, don¡¯t think over it. If you don¡¯t want to live that kind of life, I will let you live the life you wish to live.¡± Meng Shaoqian was a very important person to Yu Lan. Without him, she and Qibao wouldn¡¯t live, ¡°Thank you, Shaoqian. Thank you for being so nice to me and Qibao. I and Qibao would thank you for the rest of our lives. We are saved by you...I owe you and won¡¯t be able to pay you off even though I would like to work my fingers to the bone for you for the rest of my life.¡± Chapter 28 - Piercing-Knife Like Words Chapter 28: Piercing-Knife Like Words Trantor: Mia ¡°I don¡¯t want you to work your fingers to the bone for me. I just want you to stay by my side and we live a good life together. Lan, you¡¯ve promised me to give me a chance. I can¡¯t live without you. I would go insane. I will always wait for you until you are willing to ept me. I¡¯ve said I won¡¯t marry another woman in my life except you and I mean it.¡± ¡°Em...¡± Yu Lan¡¯s voice got tight when answering him. Only Meng Shaoqian was the one she owed much and couldn¡¯t pay back. Warm sunshine the next day. Yu Lan was apanying Qibao and watching her crawling. Her baby was with congenital deficiencies. Even though she could speak well, she couldn¡¯t walk and could barely take a firm stand. Thus, Yu Lan needed to apany her and train her to crawl. Qibao didn¡¯t get that she was different from other kids of her age. She crawled andughed happily. Yu Lan¡¯s phone rang at the moment. She picked it up immediately without checking who was the one calling. She said in a soft voice, ¡°Shaoqian, are youing back home? I will ask the domestic helper to cook the dinner now.¡± Qibao crawled towards her mom and shouted clearly and excitedly, ¡°Daddy! Daddy!¡± Hearing the voices from the other side, Sheng Youting rubbed the area between his eyebrows. He felt bad. The message sent from the phone to him was like bits of broken ss to be swallowed. They were a family of three and lived in harmony, which made him even more isted and pathetic. ¡°It¡¯s me.¡± Sheng Youting¡¯s voice was low and a little bit cold. He had thought of numerous opening remarks. However, now he could only manage to utter two words now. The other side was silenced immediately. Sheng Youting added, ¡°Let¡¯s talk about Lanlinyuan.¡± Sheng Youting also knew it was a despicable act, but he was unable to think of other possible ways. He couldn¡¯t threaten her by using the kid again since he knew she would go mad. Then Lanlinyuan was the only thing in his hand that would possibly catch her attention. ¡°Lanlinyuan? Do you want to sell it or just destroy it?¡± Yu Lan¡¯s voice was even colder than that of the Sheng Youting¡¯s. Sheng Youting couldn¡¯t believe what he had heard. However, the way the speech was uttered and the frequency the tone of the speech were so familiar to him. It was Yu Lan indeed. He didn¡¯t know how to answer her since she asked back this way, ¡°You¡¯ve always wished to keep it, haven¡¯t you?¡± ¡°Yes, I want to keep it. However, since it¡¯s you who called, it doesn¡¯t matter whether you sell it or destroy it. Are you happy to hear hear my answer?¡± Holding the phone in hand, Sheng Youting fell directly into the sofa. His eyes were full of bitterness and he was at a loss. Yu Lan¡¯s words made him panic, ¡°Lan...I¡¯ve never thought of...¡± ¡°I won¡¯t go back to that city again. It¡¯s totally up to you as for the disposal of my mom¡¯s house. Either is fine. And it¡¯s also a chance for me to forget about everything.¡± Yu Lan hanged. Tears went out of her eyes immediately. She pretended to beposed and indifferent, preventing all possible tricks of him. However, it also hurt herself. How couldn¡¯t she stop caring about the house left by her mom?! Sheng Youting had never been so frustrated. Yu Lan was so indifferent that he had no other tricks. What was more, he couldn¡¯t be determined and dared not to sell or destroy Lanlinyuan. Because he knew if he had done it, it would destroy all the possibilities to get Yu Lan back. It would ultimately make Yu Lan his enemy. Half an hourter, he called Yu Lan again. This time, he was moreposed than before. He said in an organized way and every single word uttered by him was like a knife piercing Yu Lan¡¯s heart, ¡°You may not care about the dead things. Lanlinyuan is the asset of my mother-inw. I won¡¯t touch it. However, as for Meng Shaoqian, I will spare every effort to ensure his suffering and even his death.¡± Violent retorts from Yu Lan came upon his words, ¡°Sheng Youting! Leave Shaoqian alone! Or else, I won¡¯t let it go!¡± Sheng Youting couldn¡¯t help getting jealous. How couldn¡¯t he stop feeling sad? The woman that he kept thinking about was fighting with him for another man! However, he made himself a maniac because of her. She didn¡¯t even yell to him for her mom! Chapter 29 - Mad Man Chapter 29: Mad Man Trantor: Mia Sheng Youting managed a small bitter smile, ¡°Hehe, you¡¯ve never let me go. I can¡¯t stop thinking about you. I¡¯ve never slept tight for one night. How can you even think you would let me go as long as I stop my confrontation with Meng Shaoqian? I thought you had died. I dreamed about you every night. I dreamed about your leave, about your marriage and child bearing with another man despite my sufferings, and about your death in my arms. Every time when I¡¯m waken up by dreams, I would never be able to sleep again. Ok, how about youing back to my side and all things including my sufferings can be done as you wish.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t go back anymore. My love to you has gone for long.¡± ¡°however, I...love you.¡± ¡°A one-sided love won¡¯tst.¡± ¡°I...don¡¯t care whether you love me or not.¡± Sheng Youting had recalled the words once said by Yu Lan. It turned out that the one who offered love was always stupid yet persistent. ¡°Sheng Youting!¡± Sheng Youting took in a deep breath, ¡°Lan, Meng Shaoqian has bought his family trust funds. He can ensure them good lives originally. However, he has done one thing wrong. He robbed my woman from me. Now the money he used to buy trust funds turns out to be connected with moneyundering. The original guarantees are gone. Now we can talk about for what can he rely on to ensure his family good lives? Are you sure you¡¯re still willing to be together with him and bring his family disasters?¡± Yu Lan closed her eyes. She managed hard to control herself yet failed, ¡°Let Shaoqian and his family go. And let me go. I don¡¯t owe you anything. The only thing I did wrong is to love you recklessly. I¡¯ve paid a heavy price. I¡¯m tired of it...Youting, how about let everything go?¡± ¡°Lan, I can¡¯t. Unless I¡¯m dead one day.¡± Hearing the busy signals from the other side, Sheng Youting hanged. Holding Qibao in her arms, Yu Lan slept on the foam floor mats in the kid¡¯s room. Meng Shaoqian hadn¡¯te back yet. She was indeed a Helen of Troy. She owed Meng Shaoqian much and there was no way for her to bring him more sufferings any more. Meng Shaoqian worked till 2:00 in the morning. It was not until he came back before he found that Yu Lan and Qibao were gone. He tried to find them room by room but his heart became colder as he walked out from each room. In the end, he found a letter over Qibao¡¯s pillow and he read the letter word by word. He fell heavily onto the ground once he finished his reading and his heart was finally frozen. She was gone finally. He knew clearly that he was unable keep her stay or he had never ever kept her stay by his side once. However, he loved her. The others always teased that Yu Lan was his child bride, but his child bride was always enchanted by Sheng Youting. Though he was wild with jealousy, he pretended to not care about it and put on a fake smile. He could not even dare to say that he loved her andforted her that the child bride was just a feudal thought. However, he really wanted to go back to the feudal society, for if so, he would not lose her. He thought things would be better when they grew up. Yet, she was even more out of reach. What a joke! They both loved the ones they couldn¡¯t have. They loved bitterly and persistently. They won¡¯t regret until they got wounds and scars all over their bodies and hearts. Yu Lan dared not to leave Ancheng and thus she went to the bus station. She wanted to settle down in a secondary city near Ancheng, for she feared that Qibao would get allergic again. The moment she was out of the taxi with Qibao in her arms, she was stopped by several strong men with ck T-shirts. Jing Shenxing looked at Yu Lan and couldn¡¯t believe what he had seen. He pretended to remainposed and managed a smile, ¡°Lan, I suggest you going back with us. The kid is small. It won¡¯t be good to get her scared. Sheng Youting is a little bit mad now. I fear that the kid would get scared for she may have not seen such a crazy man.¡± Chapter 30 - Wont Make Her Unhappy Again Chapter 30: Won¡¯t Make Her Unhappy Again Trantor: Mia Jing Shenxing had heard from Sheng Youting that Yu Lan cared a lot about her kid, and he was also told not to touch the kid. However, under this condition, toplete the mission, he had no way but to threaten Yu Lan. Holding Qibao in her arms, Yu Lan stepped back and became extremely alert of the men in front of her. ¡°Shenxing, we are at least acquaintance. Don¡¯t take my kid away!¡± Jing Shenxing finally confirmed that the woman in front of him was indeed Yu Lan. She had changed a lot and was not like the Yu Lan before. Would Sheng Youting still love such a Yu Lan? If yes, what the meaning of him to turn Yu Yi into the Yu Lan before? Jing Shenxing signed, ¡°Lan, we are kind of growing up together and I¡¯m even more wishing that you can live a good life than the others. However, please pity about Youting. He has lived a miserable life beyond your imagination in the past year. Even a man like me can¡¯t help pitying him.¡± Receiving no response from Yu Lan, Jing Shenxing raised his hand deliberately to touch the kid, ¡°Lan, if you refuse to go with us, we would not be able to ensure the kid¡¯s safety...¡± Yu Lan held Qibao even more tightly. She knew she couldn¡¯t win them if they robbed her kid deliberately. Even though the police woulde, her kid would be scared to mad. She had no other ways but to follow Jing Shenxing and get into a car, ¡°I¡¯m not leaving Ancheng.¡± ¡°Ok.¡± Jing Shenxing replied a word and then drove to the hotel where Sheng Youting lived. He wanted to hand Yu Lan to him as soon as possible toplete the mission. When they arrived at the hotel, Sheng Youting opened the door and took over Yu Lan¡¯s suitcase from bodyguards¡¯ hands. He didn¡¯t say anything and turned around to boil the water. There were so many words he wanted to say, yet he failed to utter them out. It was not until the water was boiled before he pretended to ask casually, ¡°Will Qibao drink milk? I¡¯ve boiled the water.¡± Yu Lan was meant to escape originally. However, she knew she couldn¡¯t go after she opened the door once and had seen bodyguards all over there outside the door. Now, she was surprised that Sheng Youting should know Qibao¡¯s name. However, her startle onlysted for one second. She didn¡¯t answer him. She just went away to put her suitcase down and fetch the milk powder. Identifying that Yu Lan was unwilling to put Qibao down, Sheng Youting walked in quick steps and helped her open the lock. He entered his birthday and the lock was cracked open immediately. The crack startled him for several seconds and was like a heavy hammer punching his heart. He was overwhelmed with an unexpected sorrow. He didn¡¯t look up and continued his work unzipping the suitcase. His breath got heavier and faster. He managed hard to hold his sorrow sign back. She had once expressed her love to him, ¡°Brother Youting, I love you. I know you like girls with long hairs, so I grow my hair long. And I will also try to put on high heels for you. Brother Youting, you would be totally at ease having a girlfriend like me. I will set your birthday as my password for everything. You don¡¯t even need to worry that I would one day have affairs with another handsome man. I won¡¯t keep secret from you on all things.¡± At that time, she was 19 with broad and bright smiles. However,ter he told her, ¡°I¡¯ve been together with Yu Yi.¡± She was still with smiles hearing the news, but the brightness in her eyes was darkened immediately. And he had never saw the same brightness in her eyes again since then. It had been long since her confession. She was not close and even indifferent to him now. However, her password was still his birthday. Maybe some things about him was marked in her heart so deeply that these had be part of her life. Yu Lan kept holding Qibao in her hands. She fed her milk, told her stories, and put her to bed. Sheng Youting didn¡¯t say anything during the whole process. What he did was just assisting Yu Lan in silence. It was not that he didn¡¯t want to say anything. He just didn¡¯t know what were the right words to say. He feared that any improper sentence uttered by him would lead to fierce confrontations of her. He was reluctant to bring her back to Jincheng by force and was even more reluctant to stimte her into wild screams like the day they met again on the street. He had already owed her much and there¡¯s no way for him to make her unhappy then. Chapter 31 - Killed Her Twin Sister Chapter 31: Killed Her Twin Sister Trantor: Mia Yu Lan hadn¡¯t mentioned about leaving Ancheng. So did Sheng Youting then. However, the news received by Meng Shaoqian was that Sheng Youting had already brought Yu Lan back to Jincheng. Sheng Youting had called a thousand times, but none of the calls were answered. He was now like an aimless fly, having no clue about the current situation and where to go next. This day, Sheng Youting arrived at the sea tide vi and found Meng Shaoqian. He greeted Meng Shaoqian with the news on how the Meng group was defeated continuously in the confrontation with the Sheng group. And then, he showed Meng Shaoqian the consolidated financial reports of the Sheng group which indicated that the acquisition of the Meng group was in progress. All these were to get Meng Shaoqian informed that he, Sheng Youting, was still able to defeat the Meng family as long as he wanted to. Seeing the documents in front of him, Meng Shaoqian tried to stretch out his hands but to find his hands trembled. He took his hands back as soon as possible, trying to cover his panic. His teeth were tightly gnashed and eyes turned scarlet red! Sheng Youting sat in front of Meng Shaoqian, acting in peace and calm, ¡°You had known clearly that the divorce certificate was not my intent, but you didn¡¯t mention it. As the heir of the Meng group, how couldn¡¯t you didn¡¯t know how the divorce certificate was gained? I had arranged a female health care worker to take care of Lan. However, she had never taken care of Lan when Lan was awake. You were so kind-hearted that you had changed her shift to prevent Lan knowing what I had done for her. The divorce certificate was gained the moment I went abroad. What a coincidence! Did you dare to swear that you were not involved in it?¡± Meng Shaoqian avoided eye contacts with Sheng Youting, fearing to look directly into his eyes, ¡°It was because your Sheng family looked down upon Lan!¡± ¡°Haha!¡± Sheng Youting burst intoughter. With a sharp tter, the lighter in his hands was shut closed. He gnashed his teeth and the blue veins under his temple were bulged. ¡°Looked down upon? Was it really the case? Childe Meng, Wasn¡¯t you the one who should take the me for Lan¡¯s miserable life all these years?¡± If it were not for your perfect trap, how could a dean of a hospital didn¡¯t even know the details about a miscarriage surgery performed in his hospital? If it were not for your pressure and your consent, how could the Sheng family got the same answer given by Yu Yi when they went back to the hospital to confirm the false report left by Yu Yi? How could Yu Yi gain the fetus taken out from Lan¡¯s belly so easily? Haven¡¯t you pretended not knowing everything, and even pretended to reveal something deliberately? Wasn¡¯t it you who let Yu Yi know Lan was awake and had her stimte Lan with the taken out fetus? It was such a coincidence that you rushed in just the moment Lan was about the jump out from the bed. You were fearing that Yu Yi might hurt Lan. Hadn¡¯t you ever felt guilty all these years? To make Lan ept you, you should let another person stimte her with her just taken out fetus! And then you misled her that as long as she left Jincheng, things would get better. Wasn¡¯t it? Meng Shaoqian¡¯s legs began to shiver. He had never taken all these things seriously. He did regret, especially when Yu Lan hurt herself during these years. He couldn¡¯t help hypnotizing himself to prove that all these things were not actually done by him. Sheng Youting stood up, lit a cigarette, and had a smoke slowly, ¡°The dead woman in New Zend and Lan were so much alike. What was more, her DNA matched with that of Yu Bonian¡¯s. Meng Shaoqian, to force me to give up and create a chance for you and Lan, you used your medical knowledge and killed Lan¡¯s twin younger sister. Wasn¡¯t it the real case?¡± Meng Shaoqian¡¯s pupils got bigger and bigger all at once. He was apparently horrified! ¡°You! You¡¯re slinging mud at me!¡± Chapter 32 - Do It Once for All Chapter 32: Do It Once for All Trantor: Mia Sheng Youting now managed a cold smile and acted cruel, ¡°I was slinging mud at you? Lan was like losing everything when her mom was gone. What if she found that she had a twin sister who was sent away by Wen Ruyu since young and the sister was found by you, but you had killed her instead of sending her back to her side? You had even taken advantage of her sister¡¯s death to cover the truth that she was alive. The dead one shared the same blood with her!¡± Meng Shaoqian lowered his head and pulled his hair with force. It never urred to him that Sheng Youting should have the ability to investigate those things in detail. He was unwilling to hear more. Sheng Youting exhaled, ¡°Lan¡¯s sister could have given birth to a baby safely, if it were not for your selfishness to take advantage of her death. She had baby in her belly. It was two lives! Wouldn¡¯t you be haunted by nightmares?¡± Meng Shaoqian covered his head with hands and couldn¡¯t help shaking his head, ¡°Stop! Stop!¡± Sheng Youting continued, ¡°Meng Shaoqian, if you were not found by the police, I wouldn¡¯t utter a single word for Lan¡¯s sake. However, it¡¯s my greatest concession.¡± ¡°If Lan knew you had set so many perfect traps for her and made her lose her sister and live such a miserable life, how would you expect her to think of you? Wouldn¡¯t she hate you with all her soul? Isn¡¯t it good to remain status quo? She lives with me in peace together with Qibao, but she would always bear in her heart your goodness, not knowing that your hands were stained with her sister¡¯s blood. Isn¡¯t it good enough?¡± ¡°Would you be so kind-hearted and let her remember my goodness¡± Meng Shaoqian scorned. The hatred in his eyes grew. He didn¡¯t want to give up Yu Lan. She had be the apple of his eye for long after all these years. If it were not for his strong will to gain the apple of his eye, he wouldn¡¯t have done so many things wrong. Sheng Youting lifted his head up, blew a cloud of smoke, threw the remaining cigarette to the ground, and smashed it repetitively with his leather shoes. The way he smashed it gave people an illusion that it was a thing hard to smash. He was putting up with all his decisions. He had to fought with another him deep in his heart. He had no other choice but to turn all the bad things he had done to Lan into machetes, and using them to attack another him who was unwilling to ept the reality. Atst, the Sheng Youting who could ept everything lived, though heavily injured. Sheng Youting was silenced for quite a long time. He was not meant to act nice. However, he couldn¡¯t forget his feelings when he went through Lan¡¯s belongings when she fell asleep. His heart was like being sliced by thousands of knives at the same time. Sheng Youting wore a faint smile and the bitterness in the smile could be told, ¡°How would you think I would do the same things as what you¡¯ve done? To defame me in her subconscious by taking advantage of the hypnosis in psychotherapy? To lead her to hate everything of me and then avoid me? Weren¡¯t these things done to cut off every possible way for her to get back to my side instead of getting her cured?¡± I wouldn¡¯t do the same things. I had seen her medical records in her suitcase. She had intermittent lunacy and couldn¡¯t be simted. I shouldn¡¯t have robbed Qibao from her hands and stimted her to mad. Meng Shaoqian, I could leave you alone for her sake, could bear that she would always remember your goodness, could bear to treat the kid of your two as my own kid, and could even bear that she thought you are a thousand times better than me. However, it was my greatest concession! If you still wanted more, I would¡­¡± Sheng Youting stopped for a second and then continued word by word viciously, ¡°Do! It! Once! For! All!¡± Sheng Youting said in such a ferocious way that Meng Shaoqian didn¡¯t even have a clue about how desperate he could be. The five words were enough to frighten him. Meng Shaoqian dared not to bet against him. He feared to lose anything. He did love Yu Lan, but he had a family who loved him so much. Sheng Youting was such a maniac that God knew what would he do to the Meng family! Chapter 33 - Dont Push Me Too Far Chapter 33: Don¡¯t Push Me Too Far Trantor: Mia From Sheng Youting¡¯s words, it could be told that Yu Lan hadn¡¯t tell him Qibao was his daughter. However, Meng Shaoqian believed that she must had done it for a reason. It was also reasonable for Sheng Youting to mistake Qibao as Meng Shaoqian¡¯s daughter for Qibao was not a normal two-year-old kid. She was weak and couldn¡¯t walk properly. She could only manage to move by leaning against the wall with hands. Seeing Sheng Youting walking out of his room, Meng Shaoqian stood up. He picked up the stool and smashed it against the table. All the decorations on the table were swept down to the ground. He lifted his head up and screamed desperately. The voice was so loud that it went way beyond the vi. He was unwilling to let Yu Lan go but he couldn¡¯t. His voice was full of resentment, sadness and sorrow. He didn¡¯t want to give up. However, he couldn¡¯t imagine what would Yu Lan think of him after she knew all these things. She might hate him with all her soul and he also felt that it would be again a stimtion to Yu Lan. If Sheng Youting did love Yu Lan, he might hide the truth from her forever. Noticing that Sheng Youting and his bodyguards were about to getting out of the house, Meng Shaoqian rushed near and shouted, ¡°Sheng Youting!¡± It had been a while before Sheng Youting turned back with a poker face though hates were hidden deep in his dark eyes. ¡°Em?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t take them away from Ancheng.¡± ¡°They will definitely go back with me to Jincheng.¡± ¡°I wish you...don¡¯t take them away from Ancheng.¡± Meng Shaoqian¡¯s eyes got red and walked closer. Sheng Youting stood still but turned around swiftly seeing Meng Shaoqianing near, ¡°I¡¯ve told you that don¡¯t push me too far.¡± Meng Shaoqian screamed again to stop Sheng Youting, ¡°Qibao matters most to Lan and she couldn¡¯t leave Ancheng for if she leaves, she would get allergic. If it were not for her special conditions, we won¡¯t give up the safe environment overseas and take the risk to get back.¡± Sheng Youting didn¡¯t believe what Meng Shaoqian had said ording to his bad history. He had plotted a lot to get Yu Lan. ¡°I can understand that you want to keep your daughter in Ancheng, a ce near you. However, it¡¯s impossible for me!¡± Meng Shaoqian feared that Sheng Youting would act arbitrarily despite his warnings, for Sheng Youting had done simr kinds of things repeatedly during all these years. ¡°You won¡¯t insist your behavior if you knew how Lan would torture herself after she saw Qibao get allergic. I do hate you and wish that you could leave us together alone, but I don¡¯t want Lan to get hurt again.¡± Sheng Youting didn¡¯t know whether the information given by Meng Shaoqian was true, but he dared not to bet on it. After getting back to the hotel, Sheng Youting held the feet of the little chubby Qibao and asked her tentatively, ¡°Qibao, how about daddy and you ying in another city of Jincheng?¡± Qibao was unwilling to call Sheng Youting daddy at the beginning. However, time was a good thing. As time went by, she gradually got used to it. Qibao was now blinking her cute big eyes, ¡°What about mom?¡± ¡°Mom wille with us.¡± Sheng Youting hadn¡¯t discussed about it with Yu Lan. So hearing the words, Yu Lan rushed out in panic, ¡°No! Qibao can¡¯t go to Jincheng. She has to stay here in Ancheng. It would kill her if she left Ancheng!¡± Yu Lan was still with the milk bottle she was brushing on hands. She was about to cry. Sheng Youting was surprised to know that Yu Lan would possibly cry. It was for Qibao... Sheng Youting smiled broadly, ¡°I¡¯m just kidding with Qibao. There¡¯s no need for you to take it seriously. Recently, I have a project here in Ancheng and the project takes time. I will buy a house in Ancheng for you and Qibao. The air in the hotel is not good enough for kids.¡± Yu Lan got relieved hearing his exnations. And so did Sheng Youting. He was happy that Yu Lan didn¡¯t overreact to his suggestion to leave Ancheng. Chapter 34 - Are You Mad? Chapter 34: Are You Mad? Trantor: Mia Sheng Youting bought a vi in Ancheng. In the garden outside the vi he had built facilities for children¡¯s y, like the swings and slides. What was more, the garden was also filled with figures inics and animations to delight Qibao and therefore please Yu Lan. However, no matter how much he had done, he just felt helpless when he was confronted with Yu Lan¡¯s indifference and alienation. They both didn¡¯t mention the harm and love they once had in the past as a agreed consensus. Yu Lan thought it was sad to look back on those days while Sheng Youting felt sorry for what he had done for Yu Lan. He didn¡¯t treasure the love once offered by her. Yu Lan wanted to leave. Every single day she was with Sheng Youting would get her reminded of the old bad days during the night and would keep her awake and ache. However, Sheng Youting had taken advantage of all his resources and knitted a web around her to keep her stay. She was unable to leave even if she had wings. She couldn¡¯t go anywhere except Ancheng. Sheng Youting had thought of falling asleep with Yu Lan in his arms for many times. However, every time when he was greeted with the cold, different, and even scornful eyes, Sheng Youting¡¯s heart would sink to the bottom and then he would retreat automatically. Meng Shaoqian got serious ill. Yu Lan went outside with Qibao immediately when she heard this news. She wanted to see Meng Shaoqian but was stopped by Sheng Youting. ¡°Meng Shaoqian has nothing to do with you now!¡± ¡°He has! He is my husband!¡± They had registered as a couple byw. He was to her a family member. How could she leave him alone when she knew he was seriously ill! However, Sheng Youting knew Meng Shaoqian well. It must be his trick to get Yu Lan back. If Yu Lan had seen Meng Shaoqian¡¯s sufferings, she would be tortured and wouldn¡¯t live in peace with him again. ¡°Do you want to see him? And live with him?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Yu Lan answered without any hesitation. Sheng Youting controlled himself hard. He lifted the clenched fist and knocked at his temple for he felt his vessels under the temple were about to explode. ¡°I can¡¯t let you go unless you can promise me one thing.¡± ¡°On what?¡± ¡°Leave your kid Qibao to me.¡± ¡°Are you mad?¡± How would it be possible for Yu Lan to agree! Qibao to her was more than a kid. She was her life! Sheng Youting knew Yu Lan would decline his offer at once. He smiled, ¡°Since you don¡¯t want to leave Qibao to me, then stay and give me another child. Once you give birth to a baby of mine, you can go anywhere as you wish. I swear that I won¡¯te to you again as long as I have my own child.¡± Yu Lan was about to curse upon the words. However, she found Sheng Youting was now a lunatic. He would move most of his original businesses in the south here just to stay in Ancheng. Ancheng was such a little city that not a single big group would build their branches here. To keep stay big groups such as the Sheng group and collect more tax-rted revenue, the government had offered all possible favorable conditions. Now the Ancheng would shake if Sheng Youting stamped his foot. Yu Lan knew there was no way for her to fight against Sheng Youting. She had no other alternative but to agree if she wanted to live in Ancheng in peace, ¡°All right! However, you¡¯ve always eaten your own words. You need to swear by your grandfather!¡± Sheng Youting raised his hand and swore, ¡°I, Sheng Youting, swear that my grandpa wouldn¡¯t live to his nature death if I keep Yu Lan stay after she has given birth to a baby for me!¡± Yu Lan knew the grandpa was the person mostly respected by Sheng Youting. She was relieved after hearing his swear. If she could get pregnant through artificial fertilization, then she could solve the problem between them once for all. It was tiring to be with this man. It was better for her to stay away from him. ¡°All right! I promise you!¡± Chapter 35 - Weighed Gains and Losses

Chapter 35: Weighed Gains and Losses

Trantor: Mia Sheng Youting thought he would be happy once Yu Lan promised to stay, but he wasn¡¯t. Yu Lan treasured the child she had with Meng Shaoqian and couldn¡¯t bear to leave her but could easily let go of the child she was going to have with him. The fact disappointed him. She indeed hated him to the core. It was at noon. Yu Lan was taking a nap. Sheng Youting took Qibao to the swimming pool for a swim. He floated in the pool and put Qibao on his chest. Qibao was so happy that she patted the water and couldn¡¯t help smiling broadly. Her little short arms and legs kept kicking to show her happiness. The long eyshes and diamond-shaped mouth of Qibao reminded Sheng Youting of Yu Lan when she was young. He did want to have a baby with Yu Lan. However,pared to Yu Lan, the kid would be less important. ¡°Qibao, call me daddy.¡± ¡°Daddy.¡± Qibao was still in a happy mood. Sheng Youting raised her up by her armpits and let her enjoy the water by half-sinking her in the water. Sheng Youting looked into Qibao¡¯s eyes, ¡°How about Daddy teaching you how to dive?¡± Qibao nodded her head. ¡°Qibao, breathe like daddy!¡± Upon his words, Sheng Youting dived with Qibao in the water suddenly. The act was so sudden that Qibao got scared and opened her mouth when she found herself immersing in the water. A string of bubbles arose! Yu Lan just woke up from her nap and came to the swimming pool. The scene in front of her nearly scared her to death. She ran to the pool, dived into it without hesitation, and swam towards Sheng Youting. When Qibao was again above the water, she was choked heavily that she cried and screamed out loud. Yu Lan turned to Sheng Youting and scolded him angrily, ¡°You want to kill her! Aren¡¯t you?! She is just a kid not knowing anything!¡± She hugged Qibao and swam ashore. She ran outside in a rush and yelled at the same time, ¡°Doctor! Doctor!¡± It was not until now before Sheng Youting knew that he had made a huge mistake. He had ruined the trust hardly built during these days. In the next two months, Yu Lan never spoke to him again, and she was even unwilling to sit and eat with him at the same table. This day, Qibao wanted to draw pictures but Yu Lan couldn¡¯t find pens and papers everywhere. She didn¡¯t want the help from Sheng Youting¡¯s servants. Thus she went to the study room of Sheng Youting¡¯s and tried to find pens by herself. However, she was more than shocked when she identally found Sheng Youting¡¯s medical records which showed that he had taken a ligation surgery and couldn¡¯t have his own babiester. Her shoulders shivered. All those emotions hidden deep in her heart were brought out suddenly by the medical records. Shey on the desk and couldn¡¯t help bursting into tears. Standing outside the room, Sheng Youting dared not to knock the door. He didn¡¯t expect what he dad done would be found by her one day. He didn¡¯t know what to do now. Yu Lan must hate him more now, for she wanted to leave him so desperately. Sheng Youting turned around and went back to his room quietly and said to servants not to disturb him even when it was dinner. Late at night at 11:00 p.m., Yu Lan walked into Sheng Youting¡¯s room and asked him when she came to the foot of his bed, ¡°Are you asleep?¡± ¡°No.¡± Sheng Youting sat up as he replied. He reached out his hand to turn on the berth light. Though quietly as him when he looked into Yu Lan¡¯s eyes, millions of thoughts on possible scenes came to him in his mind. He didn¡¯t know whether she had found today would drive her crazy or not. He was so afraid that he dared not to exin it. ¡°You are the heir of the Sheng family.¡± Yu Lan said in a cold voice. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Do you know what a ligation surgery would mean?¡± Yu Lan asked with fists clenched. Though she said in aposed way, her eyes were getting sore. ¡°I knew.¡± ¡°Why you still did it since you had known?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve thought about the gains and losses.¡± He answered calmly without a slight hesitation or regret. Yu Lan gnashed her teeth and managed a cold smile, ¡°Gains and losses? What are the gains and losses?¡± ¡°The gains and losses you won¡¯t want to hear or to believe even I speak them out.¡± Sheng Youting did want to tell Yu Lan about it. However, the reality stopped him. One was that he was not used to expressing words of love. Second was that he didn¡¯t find a chance to do so since Yu Lan would immediately walk away when she saw him. Chapter 36 - Heart Ached Upon Thinking Chapter 36: Heart Ached Upon Thinking Trantor: Mia She didn¡¯t want to hear because she thought those were all lies. She had been totally brainwashed by the hypnotist arranged by Meng Shaoqian during her psychotherapy. She ended up in believing Meng Shaoqian was the only one who could be trusted. And Sheng Youting was just a jerk who had abandoned her immediately once he knew she couldn¡¯t have babies in the future. Sheng Youting feared that she would be overwhelmed once he argued with her on these things. All he could do was to satisfy Yu Lan even though Yu Lan didn¡¯t believe he would even care her at all. Yu Lan knew the gains and losses he had mentioned. It was nothing but that she was more important than the possible heir of the Sheng family. However, if this was what he had in mind, why he divorced her immediately when he heard the rumors on her infertility? Wasn¡¯t her a tool for him to give birth to the heir of the Sheng family? ¡°I don¡¯t believe it. Why should you bother to do this?¡± A sense of bitterness shed across Sheng Youting¡¯s eyes. He then scorned on himself, ¡°Though you might not believe it, you need to honor your words. You can¡¯t leave me until you have given birth to a baby for me. So if I can¡¯t have my babies in the future, you need to be with me forever.¡± Yu Lan turned around and walked outside. Tears were gathered in her eyes despite her unwillingness. The moment she walked out, tears ran out from her eyes, went down her chest, dropped from her chin and dampened the cloth above her chest... Yu Lan thought to herself, ¡°It seemed that I got ill again. It must be a serious ill for my frozen heart should ache again. The feeling was so strange and clear to me.¡± Sadness would came to her immediately when she thought of the name of Sheng Youting. All those things she tried hard to forget now were disyed clearly in her mind. She did love him. Though the hypnotist stressed that she didn¡¯t love him anymore and had walked out from the previous rtionship she had with him in her subconscious, her heart still ached a lot and she was still overwhelmed when she woke up thinking of him... Sheng Youting spent almost all his time in Ancheng, so the meeting of the management in Jincheng was now opened through video conferencing. Even though it was required that he needed to be present in Jincheng, he would go back to Ancheng no matter howte it would be. Recently, Yu Yi had sensed the changes of Sheng Youting. He had been to Ancheng for more than half a year. It had been long before hisst visit to see her. Previously, no matter what mood her was in, he would sit together and eat dinner with her. She could see him anyway. No matter whether she was just a substitute of Yu Lan, she could asionally sense the softness and love in his eyes, even though she knew the love was for Yu Lan and she was only a subject for him to think of her. Seeing the nevus beside her eyebrow, Yu Yi got sinister and vicious. She hated the face she was wearing now since she was young. She wanted to destroy it with knives. If it were not for the interference of Yu Lan¡¯s mom, she could have moved to the Yu family with her mom earlier instead of hiding outside and not being able to attend social meetings of the upper sses in the name of Yu Bonian¡¯s daughter! Yu Lan and her mom were the most disgusting people in the world! Yu Yi followed Sheng Youting to Ancheng and found Yu Lan. All her hatred now found a way out. Knowing that Yu Lan was still alive, she be more and moreposed. She was not the hare-brained Yu Yi who would rush to Yu Lan with fetus to bluff and bluster in front of her. She took two months to observe her stealthily and knew Yu Lan valued her child very much. And bodyguards would follow her if Yu Lan went outside. Yu Yi had her hair cut and removed the nevus beside her eyebrow. She had once learnt how to be Yu Lan for more than a year. Her acting skills were improved greatly. Now it was just a piece of cake for her to imitate the Yu Lan now. Chapter 37 - I Hurt Her

Chapter 37: I Hurt Her

Trantor: Mia This day, Sheng Youting went to work. Yu Lan stayed home with Qibao. They didn¡¯t go out for the whole morning. Yu Yi came swaggeringly towards the entrance door. The security startled for one second. Yu Yi raised her hands and fanned herself, seeming to be impatient. It was not the normal scene on her, but the security knew Mr Sheng was willing to do everything to please her. He dare not to snub her. After all, the weather of Ancheng in July was really hot. He opened the door immediately, ¡°Mrs, have you gone out from the back door?¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± Yu Yi answered shortly and walked inside. Yu Lan went to the kid¡¯s room to look for Qibao when she woke up. However, Qibao was not there. She thought Qibao was taken to the garden by the babysitter, but Qibao was found nowhere after she searched the whole house. Yu Lan then called Sheng Youting, ¡°Have you been home at noon?¡± Yu Lan had never called him before. Sheng Youting was extremely happy to answer it. He was in a meeting when he received the call. However, he walked out and interrupted the meeting without hesitation. He smiled and said in a low yet pleasant voice, ¡°Do you want me back?¡± ¡°You haven¡¯te back?¡± Sensing that Yu Lan got nervous upon his answer, Sheng Youting got serious along with her, ¡°What happened? What¡¯s the matter?¡± Yu Lan basically knew that Sheng Youting would not harm Qibao after the incident of finding Sheng Youting¡¯s medical records. After the incident, Sheng Youting also exined to her that he was meant to help Qibao exercise by swimming for Qibao¡¯s legs didn¡¯t have enough strength. She could tell the sincerity in his eyes then. ¡°Lan, you can trust me. I won¡¯t have my own kids and I taught Qibao to call me daddy. I would take her as my own daughter. I won¡¯t harm her for she will be the only daughter I have for my whole life. She resembles you a lot. How am I able to harm her then?¡± Yu Lan couldn¡¯t find Qibao. She knew the only one she could turn to was Sheng Youting. Yu Lan¡¯s voice trembled with a little bit nasal sounds, ¡°Qibao can¡¯t be found everywhere. I searched both the rooms and the garden. Servants also helped me. We looked for Qibao for almost half a day. They said it was me who took Qibao out. However, both me and Qibao were taking a nap at noon. I didn¡¯t remember I had ever taken Qibao out.¡± Yu Lan finally burst into tears in the phone. All her pretend calmness fell into pieces. She was nothing but a timid and cowardly woman now, ¡°I don¡¯t know. I forget. Youting, I¡¯m ill again. I¡¯m not a good mom. I don¡¯t want to hurt Qibao. They all told me that it was me who took Qibao out. However, I couldn¡¯t remember it. I must be ill again. Help me find her. Help me. If she could be found, I would never touch her again. I dare not to touch her again. I shall be far away from her. I must have done something bad to her but I couldn¡¯t remember. Maybe I have beaten her when I¡¯m not conscious. I don¡¯t remember¡­¡± Yu Lan cried, gasped, and even rambled as time went by. Sheng Youting pulled his tie and exhaled a long breath, ¡°Lan, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m here. I will be back soon! Don¡¯t worry!¡± Sheng Youting¡¯s phone rang again when he was about to step into the elevator. It was from the bodyguards, ¡°Boss, Mrs took the youngdy to the bathroom, but they didn¡¯t get out now. It had been half an hour. I and Biao were waiting outside. So shall we go inside and check?¡± ¡°The woman was not Mrs. Mrs was still at home. You would be doomed if you should lose the youngdy!¡± Sheng Youting hanged the phone and called the police immediately! Angry feelings stuffed Sheng Youting¡¯s chest and mind now. He knew how important Qibao was to Yu Lan. What was more, the kid had called him daddy for a long time and will be his daughter for the rest of his life. If she should be lost like this, he won¡¯t be any easier than Yu Lan. Ancheng was not big. He drove fast. It just took him ten minutes home. He mmed the door and headed for Yu Lan immediately. Chapter 38 - Slap Herself Hard in the Face Chapter 38: p Herself Hard in the Face Trantor: Mia Yu Lan was so anxious that she grovelled on ground, trying to find anywhere a kid could hide. She kept calling Qibao by her name in a heart-broken way, ¡°Qibao¡± ¡°Qibao, how about not ying hike-and-seek with mom? I see, you don¡¯t want to see mom again. Mom apologizes to you. Mom really can¡¯t remember what has happened. You can just ignore mom and y with daddyter. Is that alright? Qibao!¡± Sheng Youting¡¯s heart was broken when he saw such a humble Yu Lan. She thought she was ill again and hurt Qibao. However, she didn¡¯t know that it was him who hurt Qibao. If it were not for his insane act to turn Yu Yi into Yu Lan, things wouldn¡¯t happen like this way. Sheng Youting grabbed Yu Lan by her shoulders tightly to lift her up from the root of the wall in the basement by the window, ¡°Lan, I¡¯ve called the police and sent my people to look for Qibao. Don¡¯t me yourself. It¡¯s not your fault.¡± Yu Lan couldn¡¯t remember how cold she was when confronting with Sheng Youting in the past, but she knew that she was so vulnerable now to withstand a single blow. She covered her face with hands, daring not to face anyone, ¡°What should I do? I¡¯m such a psycho! How can I unable to remember anything after I have done things wrong! Qibao treasures me in her heart and trusts me totally. However, I hurt her. She doesn¡¯t want to see me now. Is it because that I want to throw her away by bringing her out when I get ill again? How can I be such a bad woman!¡± Yu Lan couldn¡¯t help shivering with her shoulders after her own words. She pped herself hard in the face. She hated herself to death! Frightened by her act, Sheng Youting grabbed and held her hands tightly. He hugged her with force. He was breathing hard, fearing she would continue to hurt herself, ¡°Lan, it¡¯s not your fault! Not your fault! You didn¡¯t bring Qibao out. It was another person! Another bad person!¡± ¡°However, the servants and bodyguards all saw me! They saw it was me who took Qibao out!¡± Indulged in the unforgivable thing she had done, Yu Lan lifted her head and hit it hard against Sheng Youting¡¯s shoulders. She struggled desperately and her emotion was about to be out of control! Sheng Youting had never seen her like this since he lived with her again. He couldn¡¯t bear to think how she suffered and treated herself when she fell ill in the past. All he could do was to hug her tightly and yell loudly, ¡°Send for a doctor! Be quick!¡± ¡°You also know I¡¯m ill! You know I would hurt people, aren¡¯t you?! People like me shouldn¡¯t be existed in the world, isn¡¯t it?! I should even hurt my own daughter! I¡¯m not even a man!¡± Yu Lan now was like a crazy demon, attacking everyone in her sight. Her sadness and sufferings wanted a way out. She tried hard to control herself. She lifted her wrist and bit it tightly! Sheng Youting failed to stop her even by pinching her mouth open. Then he sent his wrist into her mouth instead! Seeing what Sheng Youting had done, Yu Lan couldn¡¯t help crying though she bit the wrist hard with her teeth. The Sheng Youting before her eyes became more and more blurred. However, she could hear his repetitiveforts, ¡°Lan, it¡¯s not your fault. You are not ill again. You will get better. Lan, Lan...¡± Each word uttered by him was in a gentle and soft way with care. A taste of blood came to Yu Lan¡¯s mouth and she swallowed it bit by bit. Yu Lan¡¯s teeth were losing their strength. The sedative injected by the doctor became to work. Her emotion got more and more steady. Sheng Youting carried her then with his arms. Yu Lan still looked at Sheng Youting with her blurred watered eyes. However, her eyes began to lose their focuses and her voice was so low that one could hardly hear, ¡°She has already suffered a developmental dy because of a premature delivery due to my fault. I owe her. How can I bear to bit her? She is the apple of my eye. I¡¯m trying to protect her from any possible harm. How could I even want to bring her out and throw her away? I¡¯m not a demon. If I can¡¯t find her back, I don¡¯t want to live either. No need to live either.¡± Chapter 39 - Cry Her Heart Out Chapter 39: Cry Her Heart Out Trantor: Mia Sheng Youting¡¯s heart was tightened on hearing Yu Lan¡¯s words. He became faster and faster as he ran upstairs. He gasped and the fire hidden in his eyes was now med up, burning down to ashes all his thoughts to do good deeds for Yu Lan and Qibao. It was indeed the same as what Meng Shaoqian had said. Qibao was Yu Lan¡¯s life. If Qibao was gone, then Yu Lan would give up her life... After putting Yu Lan down and tucked her in the quilt, Sheng Youting walked out with an extremely sullen face. Bodyguards braced themselves to follow him. Sheng Youting issued his order to them coldly, ¡°Find the youngdy, or else, those who had mistaken the Mrs shall go die immediately!¡± Yu Yi hugged Qibao and hid in a deserted warehouse. Qibao kept touching Yu Yi¡¯s face. She suddenly kissed her and started tough. Yu Yi knew she was eventually different from Yu Lan. To avoid being noticed by Qibao, she had kept her mouth shut all the time. However, she got startled for seconds when Qibao kissed her. And then she frowned and pped hard on Qibao¡¯s chubby face! ¡°Little bastard! My face is not the face a bastard can kiss!¡± Qibao stopped for a second to realize that she was pped by his mommy and burst into cries, ¡°Mommy! Mommy!¡± Yu Yi threw Qibao to a mess of old cloth strips, ¡°I¡¯m not your bitch mommy! Shut your mouth up! Or else I will cut your tongue!¡± Though was thrown on the mess, Qibao was alright for the mess was at least soft. She had thought that mommy was ying hide-and-seek with her by climbing the window and keeping mouth shut. She had thought that mommy smelled different today was just a normal thing. However, when mommy¡¯s voice changed, she was frightened. Though Qibao was two years old now, she couldn¡¯t walk. She cried her heart out. She tried crawling down the mess toe near mom and seek sce. Maybe mom was not meant to do it. Maybe it was just an ident for mom to drop her. During her crawling, she suddenly lose bnce and rolled down to the cement floor. She bumped into the ground with her forehead loudly. Usually, mom woulde and hug her, but now, she hurt a lot and mom didn¡¯te near. Instead, she scolded her loudly. Qibao tried to pull herself up and sat on the ground since she was unable to stand still by now. She looked into Yu Yi¡¯s eyes with a hurt look and stretched her arms for a hug. She kept calling for mommy. Receiving no response, her voice grew louder and began to cry, ¡°Mommy, hug, hug Qibao.¡± Judging from Qibao¡¯s height, Yu Yi held that she was at least three years old, ¡°You are three years old but you can¡¯t walk. Are you a cripple? Little bastard! It must because the bad things your mom had done that turns you into a cripple!¡± Qibao was so much alike Yu Lan. She mustn¡¯t be Sheng Youting¡¯s kid. However, just because of her face, Youting was especially happy when he hugged her. Was it a must that everyone shall look alike Yu Lan? Yu Yi took out a de and came close to Qibao¡¯s face, ¡°Little bastard, how about I putting the de on your face with force, and then you would no longer resemble your mom¡¯s face, all right?¡± Qibao was a premature and with congenital deficiencies. She would get sick easily. So she was brought up and spoiled by Yu Lan since young. Yu Lan would tell Qibao to get away from everything that might be dangerous, like sockets, smoking water, knives, and all other sharp things. Qibao was so scared to avoid the de. She couldn¡¯t believe the woman was her mommy now. Her mommy wouldn¡¯t scold her, won¡¯t drop her, and won¡¯te near with a de. Chapter 40 - I Will Satisfy You for All Chapter 40: I Will Satisfy You for All Trantor: Mia Qibao turned around and wanted to escape, but was pulled by the leg by Yu Yi. The kid couldn¡¯t walk struggled hard on the cement floor, trying to get away from her. The struggles and cries made her hair wet and her little hands was covered by scratches and blood forpetitive pping on the ground. Yet she kept struggling. ¡°Want to escape? You bitch mommy also likes to escape. She escapes everywhere in the world. It turns out that you¡¯ve inherited her bitch characters.¡± Yu Yi threw the de in her hand away. She gnashed her teeth and beat Qibao¡¯s ass hardly palm after palm. Qibao couldn¡¯t avoid the beat. All she could do was to cry for mommy. Bruises were all over Qibao¡¯s body now. Her face was also covered with dust. Her tears were shed and dried, and then dried and shed. Her little face was now dirty and covered with strips of water stains. Her throat was now dry and hurt. She couldn¡¯t cry anymore. All she could do was to sit still on the ground, watching at the window direction. Her mouth was open and shut frequently, seeming to call daddy. She dare not to crawl any further. She knew now she would get beat if she crawled away. Qibao was so hungry that she cried. She looked at Yu Yi in a pitiful way and patted her empty stomach, ¡°Qibao...Qibao hungry...¡± When she spoke, she was with a hoarse voice and trembled shoulders. Yu Yi smiled coldly, ¡°I¡¯m going to starve you to death. Haha! It would be good if I could torture your mommy to death then. However, what a pity! I only tortured your grandma to death...¡± Qibao didn¡¯t get the hatred of the grow-ups. She could only cry when she got hungry andy down to the ground and slept if she got tied crying. The ground was cold and Qibao shivered in her dreams. Sheng Youting was checking all the surveince cameras in Ancheng now. The municipal government used all police resources to help the biggest tax payer of Ancheng to look for the kid. Yu Yi had once appeared at the Ding¡¯an road crossing hugging the kid and then got on a taxi. The police system immediately found the contact of the taxi driver and then where Yu Yi got off. The surveince cameras around the point where Yu Yi got off was then invoked. After reasonable analysis, the police thought the target was most probably in the old factory site where haven¡¯t been re-developed yet. Inch-by-inch searching was performed by the police and men sent by Sheng Youting. When they opened the deserted cloth warehouse, Sheng Youting clenched his fist finger by finger with great force. He seemed to actposedly yet walked fast towards Qibao. Seeing himing near, Qibao¡¯s dried eyes were wet again. She cried, ¡°Daddy!¡± Qibao was with horse voice. Her face was dirty and with obvious finger marks. Bruises were all over her little body. Seeing the bright eyes of Qibao and hearing her calling him daddy, he couldn¡¯t control his feelings and his heart ached a lot. The Yu Yi slept besides Qibao was awakened by Qibao¡¯s cry and sat up immediately. She was up quickly and grabbed Qibao in her hands. She put the de in front of Qibao and threatened the people in front of her by waving the de, ¡°Don¡¯t evere near! Or else, I will kill the bastard with just one move!¡± Sheng Youting closed his eyes and told himself to keep calm! He won¡¯t let Qibao suffer again! He exhaled a long breath and stood still, ¡°Yu Yi, put Qibao down.¡± Yu Yi stretched her neck. She was scared on seeing Sheng Youting. However, now, she was unable to take care of her fear. All she wanted was Yu Lan¡¯s death. After Yu Lan had been dead, no one would deprive Youting from her! ¡°No! You kill Yu Lan and I will release the little bastard given birth by her!¡± Bastard, bastard. Yu Yi kept saying bastard repetitively. Sheng Youting had been furious for long. However, seeing the de in her hand, he had no choice but to put up with her, ¡°Give other offers and I will satisfy you for all!¡± Chapter 41 - I Want Her to Die

Chapter 41: I Want Her to Die

Trantor: Mia ¡°I want Yu Lan to die!¡± It never came to Yu Yi that Yu Lan should not die. She thought Yu Lan was dead and it didn¡¯t matter then she was just a alternative. However, now she found that Yu Lan was alive. It seemed to her that she hadn¡¯t finished the most important thing in her life and it was a huge pity! Looking at Sheng Youting, Qibao reached out her hands. She drawn and retracted her lips, daring not to cry out loud, ¡°Daddy, hug Qibao. Qibao...hurts. Qibao is hungry...¡± All the emotions depressed hard by Sheng Youting were brought up by Qibao¡¯s words. His eyes got red. The kid was seeing him as the only one who can rely upon. She must have ?????? yelled for daddy day and night. Yet he couldn¡¯t make it here when she needed him. ¡°Qibao, stay still and be a good kid. Daddy will take you out to eat soon.¡± Though Qibao wanted him now, still she gradually put down her arms. She hugged herself and tried hard rubbing her arms. She pout her lips pitifully and answered by nodding her little head, ¡°Uh-huh, Qibao will sit still and wait for daddy.¡± Yu Yi hated to death the way Sheng Youtingmunicated with Qibao and she pulled the flesh on Qibao¡¯s arm and twisted it hard with the hand holding the de. The de identally cut Qibao¡¯s tender arm and the blood oozed instantly. Qibao¡¯s cry echoed the warehouse! Sheng Youting¡¯s blood froze! He was now with an aura of killing intent and his blue veins bumped to the most. However, considering the de in front of Qibao¡¯s chest, he uttered words with rage depressed, ¡°Yu Yi! I will kill you without mercy and destroy your body if you dare to hurt her again!¡± Yu Yi went mad on hearing the words, ¡°You even treasure the kid Yu Lan had with another man! Sheng Youting! How could a man bare this! You coward!¡± Sheng Youting knew all that Yu Yi wanted was to rob everything from Yu Lan and destroy her. However, Qibao was so pitiful. You could see her hope on her crystal clear eyes. She just looked into his eyes though her little arms bled¡£ Sheng Youting tried to breathe in more air, ¡°Let Qibao go. I can promise you everything.¡± ¡°Including killing Yu Lan?¡± ¡°Yeah!¡± ¡°Really?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t believe you will kill Yu Lan. You thought I don¡¯t know you are just saying this by purpose?¡± ¡°I just fell sorry for Yu Lan. I won¡¯t owe her again once I¡¯ve rescued her kid.¡± ¡°Really?¡± The distance between them was gradually narrowed when they had the conversation. By one big step up, Sheng Youting came to Yu Yi and twisted her waist immediately. Along with a sad cry, the de was dropped down! Sheng Youting took the chance and supported Qibao by her armpit. He also kicked Yu Yi hard in her stomach! Sheng Youting hugged Qibao tightly. He buried his face in her shoulders and breathed out for long for several times, ¡°Qibao, Qibao, I¡¯m sorry. Sorry, daddy iste.¡± Hugging Sheng Youting¡¯s head, Qibao felt safe and couldn¡¯t help crying. She cried while she was speaking and couldn¡¯t utter a full sentence, ¡°Da..ddy, mommy beat...Qibao, beat Qi...bao...¡± Sheng Youting walked out quickly with Qibao in his arms. His eyes were red. He called for bodyguards and doctors when he walked out! Sheng Youting¡¯s palm was thick and warm. Though his voice trembled, he touched Qibao¡¯s hair with his palm softly, ¡°It was not mommy. Mommy won¡¯t beat Qibao. It¡¯s a monster who fooled Qibao by turning into mommy¡¯s face. Mommy won¡¯t talk to Qibao like that. Mommy won¡¯t look at Qibao like that......Qibao is the apple of mommy¡¯s eyes.¡± Sheng Youting got into the car and sat the backseat with Qibao in his arms. He had learnt to take care of Qibao independently. He reconstituted powdered milk by adding water and sent the bottle to Qibao¡¯s mouth. However, Qibao¡¯s watery eyes made him feel guilty and hurt a lot. Chapter 42 - Cruel Smile Chapter 42: Cruel Smile Trantor: Mia ¡°Qibao drinks milk first and daddy will then take you out to eat. All right?¡± Qibao was still sobbing. She hugged the bottle and put the nipple into her mouth. Sucking for several times, she pulled the nipple out with stains around the corner of her mouth. She looked still into Sheng Youting¡¯s eyes and spoke to him with her still shivering shoulders, ¡°Da...ddy, Qibao was gra..bbed by the mon...ster. I mi...ss daddy a...lot. I wan..t daddy tur...ns into super...man and save Qi...bao.¡± Sheng Youting¡¯s already red eyes got sore on hearing this, ¡°Qibao, daddy promises to protect you from anyone¡¯s harm from now on. Now mater how powerful a monster may be, daddy will beat them to ashes.¡± When the doctor came, he also couldn¡¯t help crying seeing the bruises all round Qibao¡¯s body, ¡°God-damn criminal! How could she bear to beat a kid so hard!¡± Gnashed his teeth, Sheng Youting hated Yu Yi hard in his heart for what she had done. His eyes were watered. He didn¡¯t want to talk. He feared that his trembled voice could be told when he spoke. Qibao lifted another arm didn¡¯t hurt by the de and touched Sheng Youting¡¯s face softly. She said in a childish voice, ¡°Daddy, Qibao doesn¡¯t hurt. Don¡¯t cry for Qibao, daddy. Qibao doesn¡¯t hurt at all now. Don¡¯t cry, daddy. Don¡¯t cry. Qibao¡¯s heart would break if daddy cried...¡± Sheng Youting had been depressing his emotions. He hugged Qibao more tightly on hearing her words. Though she wasn¡¯t his kid, he did feel they were linked by the blood when the kid cared for him and won¡¯t want him to cry. His voice was horse and trembled, ¡°Daddy cried for daddy was happy to eventually find Qibao. Daddy didn¡¯t cry because of sadness. Instead daddy is very happy, Qibao.¡± Qibao felt asleep in Sheng Youting¡¯s arms with her little hands gripping his shirt tightly. She was even not willing to ease her hands when they got off the car and went back home. Any slight move would awake her like a nightmare. At this time, Sheng Youting needed tofort her by pping her back until she gradually calmed down. Though Sheng Youting wanted to clean Qibao for she got dirty after the incident, he dared not to move. Qibao would shiver and his heart would ache for it. Qibao slept through to twelve o¡¯clock at noon the next day and Sheng Youting kept the same pose even though he woke upter. Seeing Qibao opened her eyes, he smiled to her, ¡°Qibao, daddy takes you to take a shower. We¡¯d better find mommyter for mommy got sick and she would feel sad if she saw Qibao was hurt by a monster. So how about finding mommyter when we get better?¡± Sheng Youting dared not to let Yu Lan see Qibao now. He also didn¡¯t want Qibao to bear this. However, he had no other alternative. If Qibao now was seen by Yu Lan, she would probably got ill again. It was highly probably for Qibao was hurt so hard. Qibao nodded her head and Sheng Youting took her to the bathroom. He put her down in the bathtub and gently washed her body by avoiding the bruise part¡£ The water gradually got dark. After all dirt was washed off, the bruises all over Qibao¡¯s body became evident. Some even got swollen. Her once chubby face was now multiple times bigger because of the pinch. Sheng Youting was astonished to see the Qibao before him even though he may have in mind about what Qibao might be treated! How could Yu Yi bear to treat a little kid like this! Sheng Youting felt sorry and closed his eyes. He turned around and clenched his fists. He took deep breathes and tried hard not to lose his temper and smash everything in the house in front of Qibao! Law? How serious the crime might be for just a kid abuse? Abuse? To what level? Sheng Youting managed a cruel smile. How could he easily let Yu Yi go? Chapter 43 - Killed Her Mom Chapter 43: Killed Her Mom Trantor: Mia Wrapping Qibao with the bath towel, Sheng Youting hugged her out of the bathroom. He found Qibao¡¯s cloths and got her dressed. He also told the doctor to continue to sedate Yu Lan. It was not a good time for Yu Lan to wake up. Walking out of Yu Lan¡¯s room, the doctor came to the kid¡¯s room. He applied the medicine on Qibao¡¯s bruises. Qibao buried her face in Sheng Youting¡¯s chest and tried to distract herself by talking to Sheng Youting, ¡°Daddy, Qibao misses mommy a lot. When will mommy get better?¡± ¡°Soon. When Qibao¡¯s skin gets white, mommy will be just about to get better.¡± ¡°Qibao could apply powder to my skin and get white...¡± After checking the conditions of Qibao, the doctor felt sorry for what the little kid had been through, ¡°Mr Sheng, the bruises and wound on littledy¡¯s skin would take at least a week to get better. The littledy barely has an intact skin now. The god damn criminal needs to get what she deserved! How dare she!¡± Sheng Youting didn¡¯t follow his thoughts. He just asked, ¡°How about the Mrs? Is it possible for she to...until Qibao gets better?¡± The doctor got the implied meaning of Sheng Youting¡¯s words, for it would definitely be bad for Yu Lan¡¯s body if she was sedated too much. The doctor answered, ¡°I¡¯ll try my best to shorten the time for the littledy¡¯s skin to get back to the normal.¡± Sheng Youting nodded his head. When the doctor was gone, he took Qibao out in the garden. He thought it might help Qibao forget about the fear she was in by ying happily in the garden. In the day, Qibao would be all right. However, during the night, Qibao would tightly seize the cloths of Sheng Youting. When Yu Lan was there, Sheng Youting never got the chance to sleep with Qibao. However, after two days with Qibao now, they two got ever closer. Sheng Youting could feel that Qibao was always caring him, giving him the love she could offer. He was also touched by the warmness offered by the kid. Actually he had thought to himself that it didn¡¯t matter whether he could have his own kid or not. He had nned an adoption. And now the kid was Yu Lan¡¯s daughter. What else should he asking for? From now on, he would not only take Qibao as his own daughter. She would and must be his own daughter! A white yacht was sailing fast towards high seas! In the high seas, a ce not governed by anyone, a woman was dropped out of the ship with hands tied! ¡°Bang!¡±. Along with the sshed sea water, there came a scream of Yu Yi, ¡°Youting, please forgive me! I just want you to kill Yu Lan for me. I didn¡¯t mean to kill the kid!¡± Sheng Youting was with sunsses and a white linen shirt. The sea wind blew hard and expanding his shirt into a cloud over the sea. Sheng Youting lit a cigarette and put it between his lips. He bit the filter tip hard, leaned half of his body against the railing, andzily blew out smoke rings. The rings were dispersed by the sea wind then. He didn¡¯t even look at the woman in the sea, ¡°You didn¡¯t want to kill the kid. You just wanted to torture her! She was just a two-year-old kid. Wouldn¡¯t your hands shake when you beat her?¡± ¡°Youting! I did it because I loved you!¡± Sheng Youting slightly lowered his head and saw the woman in the sea, ¡°All that in your heart is jealousy. How could you ever possible to love someone else? Or else, you wouldn¡¯t have pulled Lan¡¯s mom downstairs.¡± All Yu Yi¡¯s body was soaked in the sea except for her head and the tied hands hanging though a rope. The sea water was bitter and salty. The sun was extremely hot. She was on the edge of copsing. Now suddenly hearing the old bad things she once did, she was more than frightened, ¡°You, you, you. How could you know? Nonsense. I didn¡¯t. It was she whomitted suicide and jumped out of the building!¡± Chapter 44 - Scared! Scared! Chapter 44: Scared! Scared! Trantor: Mia Sheng Youting threw the cigarette on the deck and smashed it with his foot, ¡°Oh, you would think a servant who could neither speak nor write wouldn¡¯t be a threat to you, all right? However, the poisoned mute rural servant learnt how to read and writeter. She wrote down how your pushed Yu Lan¡¯s mom downstairs and how Wen Ruyu, your mom poisoned her mute...¡± Yu Yi cried and begged for mercy, ¡°Youting! It had been so many years! I beg you to forgive me! For the sake of my love on you for so many years!¡± Yu Yi¡¯s head was a total mess now when she suddenly knew that the murder oncemitted by her was known by people. She didn¡¯t know what to do next. She had no other alternatives but to beg for mercy. Sheng Youting had people pulled Yu Yi up to the boat. Yu Yi thought he nned to let her go. However, Sheng Youting looked at her coldly, ¡°Qibao is a little kid. She is two years old. Yet, you cut her one de. Your age is 20 times that of hers. I will cut you 20 knives. It¡¯s fair enough.¡± After the words, Sheng Youting slightly lifted his chin up to signal the bodyguard. The bodyguard cut Yu Yi 20 des in her loud screams. Yu Yi was extremely frightened and shrank to the corner, ¡°Youting, I¡¯m scared. Don¡¯t kill me. Don¡¯t kill me!¡± Sheng Youting burst intoughter on hearing her words, ¡°Of course, I won¡¯t kill you. You, a killer, who have experienced a lot. What would you be sacred of? Qibao is just two years old. Won¡¯t she be afraid when you beat her? Isn¡¯t she beg you not to beat her? However, do you listen to her?¡± ¡°Youting! Youting! I¡¯m wrong! I¡¯m wrong! Please forgive me!¡± Yu Yi was soaked in blood and kowtowed on the deck for mercy. ¡°You need to ept the punishment if you are wrong. Do not beg for mercy. After all, I¡¯m not your parents or your ancestors who may have the obligation to forgive you. Qibao don¡¯t have a good skin all over her body, not even her palm and sole. She would shake when she falls asleep at night. I also want you to suffer what she has been through. I want you to suffer even more, so what? I find it hard to get it even by just multiply the 20 times, so...¡± Sheng Youting waved his hand, and the bodyguards threw Yu Yi into the sea again. Then arge tub of fishes was pulled into the sea. Yu Yi¡¯s hair got stick together and she was in a total mess. She tried opened her eyes wide to see the man on the deck, ¡°Youting, are you freeing the captive animals? Are you going to free me here too? Youting, I beg you. I beg you to take me back!¡± ¡°Piranha.¡± Sheng Youting managed a cold smile, ¡°How you abuse Qibao, I will get it even on a multiple times basis. 20 times. It¡¯s fair enough! Don¡¯t you ever think of me handing over you to the police, and let you just end in the jail for several years and pay a small amount of money! I don¡¯t want your money. I just want eye for eye!¡± Piranhas got extremely excited on smelling the blood! Yu Yi hurt since her wounds were soaked in the sea water. Her fear grew ever more when the teeth of the Piranhas stuck in her flesh. She feared that she would end up in a hollow skeleton! When she was totally immersed in the sea, two piranhas bit hard on her face. She opened her mouth immediately and screamed. Sea water kept entering into her mouth. Now she ached everywhere. What was more, the fear was driving her crazy! Yu Yi was pulled out of the sea. She was badly mutted with several piranhas hanging on her body, unwilling to loose their mouths. She couldn¡¯t help shivering. ¡°Scared?¡± Sheng Youting asked. ¡°Scared! Scared, Youting! I¡¯m scared!¡± ¡°En, it¡¯s right to feel scared. It¡¯s exactly what I want. Only if you get scared can I achieve my aim. I want you to be haunted by nightmares like Qibao. I want you to shiver the whole night when you fall asleep and even sob in light voices asionally.¡± Along with horrifying cries, Yu Yi was thrown into the sea again. This time,rge pieces of her flesh were bitten off by the fish. She was cruelly thrown to the fish until she was at herst gasp. There was a mysterious ind in high seas. Living in the ind were bunches of aborigines who couldn¡¯t understandnguages. Sheng Youting let people threw Yu Yi on the ind and let her perish by herself. Chapter 45(End) - The End

Chapter 45: The End

Trantor: Mia Seeing fliesing for Yu Yi¡¯s body, Sheng Youting remained indifferent. He just had people cleaned the bloodstain and went back to Ancheng. Once arriving home, Sheng Youting took a shower and then went to bed together with Qibao, for she was reluctant to go to bed just with the apany of servants. She dared not to fall asleep. Yet upon the appearance of Sheng Youting, she finally got eased, and slept sound in just one minute. Next morning. Hadn¡¯t been waked up by Qibao, Sheng Youting became nervous finding Qibao was not in his arms. Having just gone through the incident, though he thought it was impossible for it to happen again, Sheng Youting still couldn¡¯t help being nervous. He stood up immediately, ¡°Qibao?¡± Maybe, Qibao was just ying hide and seek with him. After all, kids were always fond of theses childish things. Suddenly, words came out from the bathroom. Sheng Youting got nervous as he came closer. It was Yu Lan¡¯s low voice. Yu Lan was smiling and bathing Qibao. And Qibao was ying with bubbles like the incident before had never happened. She acted like a spoiled child with her mom. Her eyes were like crescent moons. She seemed extremely happy. ¡°Mommy, are you all right now? Qibao misses you so much. Daddy said you were sick. And Qibao can see only you after you get better.¡± Seeing the bruises all over Qibao¡¯s body, Yu Lan found it hard to breathe. Her heart ached a lot. She smiled to Qibao yet tears came out of her eyes without control. She nodded her head, ¡°Mommy is sick now. Would Qibao dislike mommy because of it? Qibao, mommy feels so sorry for you. Are the bruises all beaten by mommy?¡± Compunction and self-usation came to Yu Lan. She knew she must be sick, but she never thought she would beat Qibao so hard! She could barely counted as a human! She was a bastard! However, Qibao looked at her naively. She even wiped away her tears and exined to her seriously in her childish voice, ¡°Mommy, don¡¯t cry. It¡¯s not mommy who beats me but a monster in mommy¡¯s look. Daddy has already beaten it away. There won¡¯t be a monster beating Qibao anymore...¡± Yu Lan lifted her head up. Her heart was about to break. She was sick and became a monster. She beat her child hard and made her body covered all over by bruises. Her little pretty precious Qibao should be beaten by her to this. Yu Lan picked up the shower nozzle and washed off the bubbles on Qibao¡¯s body, ¡°Qibao, there won¡¯t be monsters anymore. Do stay with daddy. Daddy can beat monsters. Daddy won¡¯t let monsters beat Qibao...¡± Sheng Youting came to the door of the bathroom and called ¡°Lan¡±. Yu Lan turned around. She looked at Sheng Youting, crying soundlessly with teeth gnashed. Seeing the Yu Lan before him, Sheng Youting couldn¡¯t help holding her in his arms and exining, ¡°Qibao fell identally, I...I...¡± Sheng Youting didn¡¯t know what to do. He nned to wake Yu Lan up when Qibao got better. However, the sedative did harm to human¡¯s body. He told the doctor to use less rtively, but it never came to him that Yu Lan should wake up in advance. Yu Lan buried herself in Sheng Youting¡¯s arms, crying silently. Sheng Youting immediately pressed the phone bell in the bathroom to call the servants in to get Qibao out for y. Sheng Youting hugged Yu Lan tightly, ¡°Lan, it has nothing to do with you!¡± Yu Lan cried in a depressed way. She dared not to cry out loud to disturb Qibao. All she did was to grab Sheng Youting¡¯s silk pajama tightly and let out the flood in her eyes, ¡°How could I be such a bad person when I¡¯m ill. Qibao said there was a monster beating her with my look. She is just a kid and is trying to find an excuse for me. She is my kid, and was once a part of me. How could I be such a cruel woman!¡± ¡°Youting, sent me to jail! Let the judge sentence me to death! I beg you! I¡¯m not deserved to be the mom of Qibao! I¡¯m a psycho! I can¡¯t remember anything I¡¯ve done when I¡¯m ill. I took her out and beat her like a foe. If I¡¯m not isted, I don¡¯t know what I would do to harm her next. Youting! Keep me away from Qibao! Don¡¯t let me hurt her again!¡± Sheng Youting keptforting Yu Lan, ¡°Lan, it was not you. It was Yu Yi. I had got even with her! No one would dare to harm Qibaoter.¡± Yu Lan couldn¡¯t hear Sheng Youting. She was carried away and got more and more excited. She cried ever louder as time went by, seeming to cry her heart out. She kept heating her own head, ¡°How could I be such a bad woman. To save her, I insisted and suffered from a two-day-one-night surgery. My blood was nearly totally newly transfused and I risked my whole life for her. I left the people who wanted to hurt me and I hated so much. I wanted to seek for revenge so badly, but I gave up, for what if my kid was unable to look at the world because of my revenge. I¡¯m so scared and feared that she would be ended up like her brother, floating in formalin.¡± Yu Lan screamed desperately and kept hitting Sheng Youting¡¯s shoulder with her head, ¡°She was the kid I suffered a lot to save. How could I bear to beat her. I want to kill myself for what I¡¯ve done, Youting! I¡¯m a bastard! Kill me, Youting! Kill me!¡± Sheng Youting held Yu Lan¡¯s hands tightly. He hugged her body tightly. He had her in his arms tightly. So tightly that it was hard for him to breathe. It seemed that any breath could piece his heart through now. He wasn¡¯t able to think what Yu Lan had said twice. His heart broke... How could he ever think the little girl who couldn¡¯t even walk was actually two and a half years old. How could he ever think that she was with a twin when she got pregnant. The miscarriage only took one baby away and the other one was saved at a huge cost. She had suffered from all those. Yet he didn¡¯t know any of these. Qibao was his daughter! The Qibao who would touch his face repetitively tofort him was his own daughter! The destiny was so cruel to him. He had missed so much. The misery he had brought to Yu Lan was now doubled and fed back to him. Though without a scar, Sheng Youting did feel like being pieced by thousands of knives. It was a pain hard to suffer and he was aching everywhere. He closed his eyes and all that presented before him was the Qibao looking at him with watery eyes and bruises around all of her little body. His poor Qibao... ¡°Lan! It was my fault. My fault! Lan, don¡¯t forgive me. Don¡¯t ever forgive me! Let mepensate you. Compensate Qibao. I would never be able to pay back not even until my death! All I could do is to give your all my remaining life!¡± Sheng Youting hugged Yu Lan and buried his face in her back neck. His sob was mixed with that of Yu Lan¡¯s. ¡°Lan, thank you. Thank you for saving me a kid. With you and the kid, my life is full.¡± Yu Lan gradually calmed down. Things were shing across her head like a movie. She lifted her head and looked at Sheng Youting. Her eyes finally found a focus and all that in her eyes was a handsome man with once absent deep love. Holding Yu Lan¡¯s hands, Sheng Youting led her to the window and held her shoulders. He pointed to Qibao ying with a dog in the garden downstairs, ¡°Lan, from now on, our family of three, would never be apart again.¡± The woman beside him didn¡¯t utter a word for long after his words until he felt the shivering shoulders in his hands and there came a sobbing sound of the woman, ¡°Em!¡± The Novel will be updated first on this website.
