Jin Ye tapped her head helplessly, "Why didn't you tell me you were being blackmailed?"
Su Ding asked nervously, "You, you know everything?"
Jin Ye grunted and turned around, "Tell me if you have any difficulties in the future, don't try to bear everything yourself."
Su Ding's eyes blinked slightly; he was still willing to accept her?
"Jin Ye," she called out softly, "I used to..."
At this moment, Jin Ye's phone rang.
Su Ding fell silent appropriately. The call was answered, "Mr. Jin, Shao Lin has escaped."
Jin Ye's expression immediately turned cold, and his voice was stern, "The bodyguards were there, how did she get out?"
The voice on the other end said, "Madam heard you locked up Shao Lin and went to the hospital. We didn't dare to make things difficult for Madam..."
What was mother doing at the hospital?
Jin Ye's face darkened, "Okay, I understand. Send people to track Shao Lin's movements."
After hanging up, he explained the situation to Su Ding.
Su Ding wasn't too surprised. Shao Lin hadn't bothered her for a while, but she had put a lot of effort into strategizing against Jin's mother, and even Xiao Xi wasn't as resistant to her anymore.
Now that Shao Lin was imprisoned by Jin Ye, Jin's mother was bound to come to her rescue.
"Don't worry, Shao Lin's actions will be punished by law."
Seeing Su Ding silent, Jin Ye thought she was bothered, so he took her hand, "I've given her many chances. This time, I will not be merciful."
Su Ding glanced at Jin Ye, seeing a hint of probing and flattery on his face.
Her heart felt a little sweet, but she still maintained a serious expression, "Mm, I know."
Jin Ye lowered his eyes and pondered for a few seconds, then opened his arms and hugged Su Ding, pressing her head against his chest, and said softly, "You be good, I'll handle things."
Su Ding relaxed her body and leaned into Jin Ye's embrace, wrapping her arms around his waist.
She closed her eyes and let out a long sigh, "I was blackmailed by Shao Lin because I made a mistake five years ago, which resulted in Xiao Rui. I didn't want you to know..."
Jin Ye patted her shoulder and interrupted, "Don't mention the past. Haven't I done things I shouldn't have done before? Let's just focus on the present."
If he hadn't been drugged back then and walked into the wrong room, he wouldn't have slept with Shao Lin.
Then, Shao Lin wouldn't have bothered Su Ding.
Su Ding nodded.
Jin Ye remembered the doctor's words and had some plans. "I've almost finished dealing with company matters these days. I'll take you out for a walk in a couple of days."
Come to think of it, they had gotten married in a hurry.
They hadn't even had time for a wedding ceremony, let alone a honeymoon.
After confirming that Jin Ye didn't mind her past, Su Ding's heart felt a lot lighter.
"Okay."
Perhaps it was due to her pregnancy, but her emotions always tended to skew towards the negative. Her mental state was poor, and she inexplicably felt weak and inferior.
Su Ding leaned in Jin Ye's arms, reflecting on the events of the past few days.
She really shouldn't have shown weakness to Shao Lin. People like Shao Lin would only become more aggressive once they got their way.
This time it was five million, what about next time?
As long as she was afraid of the video Shao Lin held, she would never have a moment of peace. Either she would become Shao Lin's puppet, or she would throw caution to the wind and let Jin Ye discover her past secrets.
She had never avoided problems before, but this time she had shown weakness.
Perhaps it was because of the child in her womb, or perhaps her love for Jin Ye had sunk deep into her bones.
She couldn't accept any changes.
At this moment, a servant walked in from outside, "Sir and Madam, Madam is here."
As soon as the words fell, the sound of high heels clacking on the floor could be heard. Zhao Qin, carrying a small handbag, walked in elegantly, but her expression was somewhat unpleasant.
As soon as she entered, Zhao Qin saw Su Ding leaning in Jin Ye's arms.
She looked Su Ding up and down with disdain, "What are you doing in the living room in broad daylight? Get up quickly."
With that said, Zhao Qin walked to the sofa and sat down.
She was directly facing Jin Ye and Su Ding.
Su Ding paused slightly, pushed Jin Ye away, and sat up straight, "Mrs. Jin."
Zhao Qin ignored her and spoke to Jin Ye, "Xiao Ye, how could you lock up Linlin? What did she do to offend you again, is it because of this woman?"
Jin Ye's expression turned grim, "Mother, she is my wife."
"Wife? A wife is a woman who has given you a child. And her? What right does she have?"
As Zhao Qin spoke, she surveyed the villa's structure. The decoration design, as well as the furniture and accessories, were all very expensive and luxurious, certainly not something someone of Su Ding's status could enjoy.
"Su Ding, you've achieved your goal, haven't you? A crow has turned into a phoenix."
Su Ding felt a bit annoyed. She took a breath, pursed her lips, and smiled, "Whatever you say goes."
"Xiao Ye, look at her attitude towards Mom!"
Zhao Qin glared fiercely at Su Ding and added, "No matter what, I won't allow you to touch Linlin. If you lock her up again, don't acknowledge me as your mother!"
"It's not that I want to touch her, it's that she violated the law..." Jin Ye said coldly.
Zhao Qin interrupted directly, "I don't know what law you're talking about, but she's Xiao Xi's mother. If you don't manage her, I will!"
With that, she stood up and walked out.
"I feel stifled just staying here, no need to escort me."
Su Ding stared at Zhao Qin's retreating back and let out a speechless sigh.
...
At the villa entrance.
As Zhao Qin was about to get into the car, she saw someone sneakily looking into the villa.
She frowned and took a second glance, then urged the driver to leave.
In the car, she couldn't help but speculate, did that woman have any enemies? Otherwise, why would someone be watching her? Had she retired from the industry and stayed at home these days, afraid to come out? She had even moved...
The more Zhao Qin thought about it, the more something felt wrong.
She didn't care whether Su Ding was alive or dead, but she was still worried about her son. She immediately called her husband.
By the time Jin Ye received his father's reminder, the person outside had already left.
"You should stay indoors during this period. After I finish these few days, I'll take you out."
Jin Ye instructed with concern, feeling annoyed at the same time.
Who was targeting Su Ding again? Would they ever have a peaceful day!
Su Ding nodded, not understanding why.
...
Shao Lin, wearing sunglasses, sneakily entered a hotel.
Fortunately, she wasn't discovered by Jin's family.
She pushed open the door to the room, and Wang Yan was already sitting on the bed waiting for her.
"Mr. Wang, thank you," Shao Lin called out sweetly, taking off her hat and mask to reveal her exquisite and beautiful face.
If it wasn't for Zhao Qin coming to the hospital to see her, she wouldn't have been able to escape.
She could only hide now and couldn't go home. As long as she served Wang Yan well, she could evade Jin Ye's pursuit.
She absolutely refused to go to jail!
Wang Yan was constantly thinking about sleeping with Su Ding, which was her biggest bargaining chip.
As long as Su Ding was tainted, Jin Ye would abandon her.
If Zhao Qin helped, and Xiao Xi was her child, then the title of Mrs. Jin would still be hers!
She had to take it slow...
"You can rest assured staying here for the next few days, no one will find you."
Wang Yan beckoned, and Shao Lin slithered over coyly, leaning into his arms.
Wang Yan stared at her alluring curves and her seductive, flattering face, and immediately became aroused. He flipped over and pinned Shao Lin onto the bed.
He propped his arms on either side of her face and provocatively pinched Shao Lin's cheek, "Baby, when are you going to let me taste your sister?"
"Hmph, aren't you satisfied with me?" Shao Lin snorted coyly.
"Hahaha, if I can enjoy both sister and sister, that would be true bliss." Wang Yan lewdly reached out and kneaded Shao Lin's tender skin.
Shao Lin let out a soft groan and angrily slapped his hand away, "You pervert!"
"Don't you like perverts..."
Wang Yan took off his pants and pressed down on her. Soon, shameful sounds of male and female pleasure echoed through the room.
