《Marriage in Corrosive Love》C11. Was Human Life So Worthless?
Advertisement
His words were gentle but with a hint of threat.
Shen Qingkong was shivering on all her body, feeling freezing cold
What was the man she was keen on for these years!
How could he say like this!
“Get out of here!” Shen Qingkong tapped on the bed crazily. Pointing at the door, she screamed, “get out of here now! Mu Linxuan, I don’t want to see you again!”
Think what I said carefully. Mu Linxuan straightened his body, and lifted his hands to clear up his shirt with slight drapes, showing noble elegance and reservation. At the same time, he was so indifferent and high above, out of reach. “We’ve together for years, and you should understand me. Do not irritate me. Or you have to suffer from it.”
Then Mu Linxuan left.
Shen Qingkong rolled the contract into a mass by kneading it, and then jumped on it and trampled fiercely. She felt delighted when seeing it treaded into pieces.
Haha!
Shen Qingkong laughed crazily.
It was so funny!
His dearest dad died, replaced with several pieces of paper?
Was human life so worthless?
Or only her family’s life was so worthless?
Mu Linxuan stood next to the door, listening to the crying in the room. He waited until there was no noise in the room, and then went downstairs.
Yu Youyou bound up her wound and waited in the living room. Seeing that Mu Linxuan was walking downstairs, she came up urgently, “Xuan, is Qingkong ok?”
“She’s not good.”
Yu Youyou’s eye sockets turned red, and she blamed herself, “it’s all my fault. It will not happen if I said nothing to Uncle Shen.”
“Yes. It’s your fault.”
Yu Youyou was shocked. She intended to say something else. However, seeing the indifference and isolation in the expression of the man and the coldness in his eyes, she turned cautious.

“I’m sorry.” Yu Youyou lowered her head. “If Qingkong wants to kill me, I’d like to die. Anyway, I should have been dead……”
“Leave from this place!” Mu Linxuan interrupted her, “You’d better not come to the villa later. Qingkong is pregnant, and I will keep her away from any mental attack before she gives birth to her baby.”
Then, Mu Linxuan walked outside passing by her. Yu Youyou was mentally disturbed. Mu Linxuan was unusual today. Did he find something?
No.
Impossible.
……
Shen Qingkong’s dad was buried seven days later.
She went to Shen’s family early on the day her father was buried.
Lin Zhiqiu did not allow Shen Qingkong to enter into the room or worship in the mourning hall.
Although friends and relatives coming for worship said nothing, their scornful eye expressions and gesticulating with whispering made Shen Qingkong very upset.
Shen Qingkong complained nothing. In fact, she had no qualification to do so.
She thought she deserved such blames.
Friends and relatives attending the burial ceremony left one after another after the end of the ceremony.
Until this time, Shen Qingkong, who was seeing far away, walked to the graveyard. She had to say goodbye to her father.
Getting closer to the gravestone, she heard coarse and sorrowful cry, making people feel so sad.
Shen Qingkong saw a person who almost cried to death by holding the gravestone; that was Lin Zhiqiu.
As if she was given a slap, she did not dare to get closer. She got down on her knees, and kowtowed to the direction of the gravestone.
Her tears fell down on the ground, and she recalled many words.
“I’d prefer that Shen’s Company is destroyed and I confess to my husband after I die! I don’t need mercy from enemies!”

“According to my investigation, your dad died due to an accident. The court will sentence her some monetary compensation even though you insist on finding out her responsibility.”
“Qingkong, you will never understand the meaning of the baby to me.”
…
Shen Qingkong went to the hospital by taking a taxi.
She walked into the Gynecology and Obstetrics Department. With a face as pale as a piece of paper, she said firmly, “Please arrange an induced abortion operation for me now!”
