She looked down and saw that she and Han Yifeng were in the photos she held. This scene seemed very familiar!

After sifting through her memories, she remembered that this was taken when she bumped into Han Yifeng near the South River, and Mu Yuchen had been present at the time too!

How did she get these photos? They were taken from various angles, and each of them was positioned in a way that made it seem Han Yifeng and her were intimate. Anyone would think that they were dating each other in secret.

Xi Xiaye looked through each and every one of the photos. She then raised her head and studied Xi Xinyi with a faint light in her eyes. Taking a deep breath, she raised her hand with the photos and smiled. "So? You sent people to tail Han Yifeng? Or were you keeping an eye on me? These photos... Do you want to threaten me with them?"

"You started this first. Don't blame me for doing this."

"So, you're saying that in order to take revenge on me, you're using Han Yifeng as a tool as well? So, is this proof of your love for him, Xi Xinyi?"

Xi Xiaye squinted as a faint cold light flashed past her eyes and she pasted a cold grin across her face.

Xi Xinyi's eyes turned sharp as she balled her fists tightly. "I'm just warning you. Don't make me do this, especially when I'm about to take over Yueying soon. Do you think I don't know what the other stakeholders were doing? You've already destroyed me once, Xi Xiaye!"

"I don't think you've done anything lesser that destroyed me. Didn't the person who take these pictures tell you that Mu Yuchen was there as well? You're dead wrong if you think you can threaten me with these photos, Xi Xinyi!"

Xi Xiaye smirked as she let go of the photos, allowing them to flutter all over the floor. "I might be considerate about keeping things together before, but now, I won't tolerate it and will fight for whatever I deserve. I can't stand seeing people like you live happily ever after."

"Xi Xiaye, you wicked witch! I should've gotten my cousin to fully destroy you. You'd have no dignity to live till today and to even seduce Mu Yuchen!"

Xi Xinyi lost control and almost lashed out with her fists. Her eyes were chilly as her whole body was straining with tension.

"Wow, are you already admitting that was how wicked were you back then? Didn't you tell Han Yifeng and the others that you wanted to make it up to me? You can only do so much. Who else can be better at being wicked than you? In order to take revenge on me, you ignored your father and your husband's reputations. Shouldn't you go straight down the path to hell immediately?"

Xi Xiaye then flung the last photo at her. "And you're trying to pull stupid tricks like this!"

"You're wicked! Stupid! You're arrogant! So arrogant!" Xi Xinyi could not hold herself back after being berated. All the anger and grudge accumulated inside her heart exploded, and she had an emotional broke down when she thought about what had happened to her recently. She just wanted to split Xi Xiaye into two and stomp on her. Hopefully, she would never come back again!

She started moving, rushing forward with her hand raised up. She was so quick that Xi Xiaye almost could not react. Trying to block her with her arm, a painful sensation suddenly flared from her arm. When she looked at it, she noticed several blood traces on the back of her hand!

It was caused by Xi Xinyi's sharp nails! The foolish woman!

Xi Xiaye's eyes flashed angrily as her expression turned dark. Xi Xinyi was still coming at her. For the first time ever, she revealed a ferocious expression in front of Xi Xiaye!

Blinded by anger, she grabbed onto her collar and moved sideways quickly, smashing Xi Xinyi onto the wall beside the window like a rocket!

There was a loud and audible crash along with a screech!

Xi Xiaye glanced over at Xi Xinyi quickly. As she expected, her hand was smashed against the wall, and the impact was so strong that it seemed like her arm was dislocated. Her wrist area was swollen and bruised.

Her expression was twisted in pain and her face was pale. She slowly sat down as she leaned against the wall while screaming in agony. Xi Xiaye started to be alert when she saw Xi Xinyi clutching her belly.

A lightning-fast gleam went past Xi Xiaye's eyes. She had gone through this many times before, and she could hear the sound of footsteps from outside.

She leaned against the window behind her and desperately gripped her belly as she lowered her head and moaned, "It hurts..."

Suddenly, Xi Xinyi looked at her in horror!

At this very moment, the footsteps arrived at the room.

"What happened?"

It was Yue Lingsi's voice!

Yue Lingsi started to fret when she saw Xi Xinyi on the floor, and then she saw Xi Xiaye.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Han Yu and the others came over right after Yue Lingsi did.

Xi Xinyi turned to the door to see Yue Lingsi and the others including Mu Yuchen and Han Yifeng, coming in. Her eyes flashed as she glared at Xi Xiaye.

"Xiaye!" Before Xi Xinyi could react, a tall figure crossed past her.

Xi Xiaye still had her head lowered. Her face seemed pale and she was frowning as if she was enduring a great deal amount of pain as she held her belly. She took several deep breaths when she saw Mu Yuchen, and her voice was trembling slightly. "My... My stomach... is very painful... Xi Xinyi showed me these photos and warned me that she will show these to you... Remember we bumped into CEO Han by the South River the last time? She sent people to tail us... She said she was going to destroy me..."

Xi Xiaye was gulping deep breaths and seemed to be suffering badly as she looked at the photos scattered everywhere on the floor.

Mu Yuchen held her as he looked around the floor and saw all the photos of Xi Xiaye and Han Yifeng. He remembered the day they bumped into Han Yifeng near the South River.

His quiet eyes darkened and he seemed hopeless.

He turned his head towards Xi Xinyi. His icy eyes freaked her out a little. She started trembling and even her voice trembled due to his powerful presence there.

"N-no... She framed me... She framed me. My hand... She did this to me and my child..."

Mu Yuchen averted his gaze away from her. He grabbed Xi Xiaye in his arms as he frowned and his voice sounded concerned. "It's alright. Let's head to the hospital now."

Han Yifeng and the others arrived in time. They looked at Xi Xiaye in Mu Yuchen's arms, then at Xi Xinyi, and finally at the photos on the floor.

"Yifeng, it hurts... She framed me! My hand... My child... My belly hurts very much! Xi Xiaye framed me! You guys have to believe me!" Xi Xinyi was shedding tears as she looked at Han Yifeng with her pair of pitiful eyes.

However, Xi Xinyi's words were not convincing at all. The scratch marks on the back of Xi Xiaye's hand were really obvious.

Mu Yuchen glanced at Han Yifeng, his eyes turning sharp when he looked at Xi Xinyi as if he could see right through her. His voice was so stern that even Han Yifeng could feel the pressure. "Please use your brain before trying to frame someone the next time. You're a pregnant lady, but you're wearing high heels over ten centimeters. Are you sure you care about your child? Or did you plan this from the start?"

"CEO Han, I hope you guys can give me an explanation about what happened today. I've already given her a chance about the military academy incident. If she continues to do this, I don't mind letting her taste her own medicine. I believe the Han family wouldn't want to see that as well. If anything happens to my wife..."

Mu Yuchen did not finish his sentence and just glared at everyone as he walked outside with Xi Xiaye in his arms.

Xi Xinyi struggled to get up before roaring at Mu Yuchen, "No! It's not me! Master Mu, that witch Xi Xiaye framed me. Ouch! My hand! My hand! Master Mu, please listen to me! Xi Xiaye is a wicked woman! Don't be tricked by her!"

"Xinyi! That's enough! He's already gone. What's wrong with you?"

Xi Xinyi looked like she was about to break down any second. Both Han Yu and Huang Ziyao looked very upset while Yue Lingsi quickly went up to her and gave her eye signals.

After a while, Han Yu sucked a deep breath in as he looked at the photos on the floor before leaving. "Xinyi, I'm so disappointed in you!"

Huang Ziyao's expression darkened. She thought about what Mu Yuchen said just now and glanced at Xi Xinyi. Soon, the accumulated frustration inside her exploded. "Xinyi, you didn't listen to me at all! Can you stop causing more trouble when it's already so chaotic? Will you only be happy when you drag everyone down with you? Are you trying to affect Yifeng by showing these photos to Mu Yuchen? I really... How do I tell the elder about this? Ugh, how annoying!"

Huang Ziyao was having a headache. Her eyes seemed impatient as she swiveled around and left.

"Ziyao! Han Yu! Listen to me, Ziyao! Ziyao!" Yue Lingsi was anxious as she wanted to catch up to them together with Xi Xinyi. However, they had already disappeared.

"Father! Mother!" Xi Xinyi panicked and looked at Han Yifeng beside her. At that moment, Han Yifeng's eyes looked like they were dead as he kept quiet. Xi Xinyi felt like she was looking at a stranger and started to freak out, going towards him while ignoring the pain flaring from her hand.

"Yifeng, Yifeng, you have to listen to me! It's not like what Xi Xiaye said. She framed me! She really did! She pushed me and was trying to kill our child! Yifeng, I beg you to please believe me. It's her. She's trying to hurt me..." She grabbed onto Han Yifeng's sleeve and sobbed, seeming so pathetic right then.

Han Yifeng just let her be while he laughed pathetically at himself. He glanced at Xi Xinyi's high heels before averting his gaze to one of the photos on the floor.

He went quiet for a moment before squatting down and picking a photo up. Studying it seriously, he put on a bitter smile. "Xinyi, what else do you think I can say? I believe that I hold some of the responsibility for what happened to you... I pampered you too much... I can't do this anymore. I'm really tired. You can decide for yourself whether you want to keep the child or not. I'll make sure to compensate you a huge amount of alimony."

Xi Xinyi grabbed onto Han Yifeng tightly and explained, "No! No! Yifeng, don't be like this. I'm just trying to scare her off, but I never thought of exposing this. I'm scaring her, hoping that she will practice some restraint. She wouldn't let me take over Yueying so easily, Yifeng!"

"Chances? Again and again? There are no more chances, Xinyi. Let's face it. I can't give you the future that you want. Let's not waste each other's time anymore."

"I don't want this. I don't want it. I'll never agree with it. We just got married! How could you say that?"

Before she could finish, Han Yifeng pulled her hands away from his arm.

"Yifeng, don't be rash. We can talk about it. Let's just talk it out, alright? Think about what's going to happen to both our family's reputations? Just how many days have you guys been married? Do you think it's just a little game?"

Yue Lingsi scowled and supported the pathetic-looking Xi Xinyi.

Han Yifeng ignored them and went towards the door, but not before leaving an order to Secretary Wang, "Secretary Wang, send her to the hospital."

"Yifeng! Yifeng! Listen to me. Xi Xiaye really framed me! Why won't you believe me? Why?!"

Xi Xinyi sat down in defeat with the double blow she just received. Wailing loudly, she covered her face with both hands.

Yue Lingsi wanted to run after Han Yifeng, yet seeing how Xi Xinyi was at the moment, she could not bear to leave her, so she waited for her to cry a while longer before she helped her up. "Okay, that's enough crying now. Let's go to the hospital to check on your hand first."

Then, Secretary Wang walked over and helped Yue Lingsi to support Xi Xinyi out too.

They had just reached the staircase when they saw Deng Wenwen walking over.

Deng Wenwen narrowed her eyes at Xi Xinyi's swollen wrist and asked coldly, "What happened? How did things turn out like this?"

"It's all because of Xi Xiaye that slut! Every time she comes home, she turns the whole house upside down! If anything happens to Xinyi, I won't let her off that easily!" Yue Lingsi face sank and her tone became unusually sharp. "She clearly came back to cause trouble. She did it on purpose! Mother, the Han family even said that Xinyi is carrying their flesh and blood. How could they be so heartless? Han Yifeng even wants her to abort the child! What is he saying? It's all Xi Xiaye's fault! She did this on purpose. On purpose!"

"Are you done? I could even hear all your hooting from downstairs!" When Yue Lingsi finished, Xi Mushan's gloomy voice came from ahead. They looked to the source of the voice and saw that he was standing in the walkway ahead.

"Xi Xiaye hurt Xinyi. Xinyi's been afraid of pain since she was young. Look how Shen Wenna raised her daughter. Just look! This is the good daughter that your kind Wenna raised!"

An indescribable fury rose from Yue Lingsi's heart as she pulled Xi Xinyi's arm and walked up to Xi Mushan. Struggling, Xi Xinyi screamed from the sharp pain.

The moment Shen Wenna was mentioned, Xi Mushan turned even more bitter. "You know well enough how you are yourself. I'm telling you again, don't stir trouble up. Now, you've caused a great commotion. It looks like you're done being the Mayoress, hmm?"

"Xi Mushan, you get it right! Right now, Xi Xiaye has hurt Xinyi. Are you blind? Don't you see how Xinyi has been hurt by Xi Xiaye? If anything happens to her hand, I'll make Xi Xiaye return a hand to Xinyi!"

Yue Lingsi was blinded by rage. She could not hold herself back and shouted angrily at Xi Mushan, "In fact, whether or not I'm done with being a Mayoress is not up to you, Xi Mushan!"

"If something bad happens to Xiaye, your good days are up too. Did you get that? Fool! Mu Yuchen's coming next week to West Park to propose marriage!"

When Xi Mushan had come over, he coincidentally saw Mu Yuchen carrying Xi Xiaye and rushing downstairs. In fact, Xi Xiaye did not look very well as she clutched her belly, and he pondered the reason for a wedding that was initially planned for October suddenly be moved ahead. The only plausible explanation was that Xi Xiaye must be pregnant!

That was the most logical explanation.

When Xi Mushan said this, Deng Wenwen was stunned. A light flashed through her old eyes. Just as Yue Lingsi was about to say something, she suddenly went up and said, "Enough! Stop arguing. Send her to the hospital first. Otherwise, this hand will be done for!"

At Deng Wenwen's words, Xi Mushan shot the few of them a sharp look, then coolly walked downstairs.

"Mother, look at him! He's clearly biased towards Shen Wenna and her daughter. How are we suppose to go on with our days!?"

Yue Lingsi watched as Xi Mushan vanished out of the door downstairs. Her eyes instantly reddened and her tears could not help but trickle down her face.

"Xin Er, you're too rash. Why don't you think about the consequences? You really disappoint me more and more! At such a crucial phase, you have to consider the outcome before doing things! What do I usually teach you? You know that it's a special day today. Can't you just leave the Xi family with some honor? Do you have to make things so awfully awkward?" Deng Wenwen's tone came with a reprimanding tone.

"Mother, don't scold her anymore. Look at how Xinyi is now!"

"Quickly go to the hospital!"

...

On the other end, Mu Yuchen carried Xi Xiaye and rushed out from West Park. Meanwhile, Li Si and the rest who were waiting in the car immediately got down with heavy expressions when they saw them. They quickly opened the door for Mu Yuchen.

"What's wrong with the Missus, Master?" Li Si asked anxiously with concern.

"Get in the car first." Mu Yuchen's brows were furrowed as he hurried into the car.

"Does it hurt very badly?" Xi Xiaye had just sat in the seat steadily when his deep and sexy voice entered her ears. He was not anxious like he had been earlier at all. Now, he seemed quite calm.

Frowning slightly, Xi Xiaye tilted her head and squinted at him. She saw that he was smiling casually as he looked at her.

Then, she moved her hand away from her belly, lifting her fingertips to massage her forehead as she asked, a little bewildered, "How could you tell?"

He grinned as he took the handkerchief from his shirt pocket, and took her hand that was wounded from the scratches. He said softly, "Your acting was so bad. If I didn't quickly carry you and run off, you'd probably have been exposed."

Then, he carefully helped her wipe away the blood stains on the back of her hand. As he looked at those clear traces of scratches, there was a gloom between his brows. "We should still make a trip to the hospital and get this wound cleaned. At the same time, check whether you need to be vaccinated."

Xi Xiaye was pleased to hear his concern. She retrieved her hand and studied the bloody scratches on the back of her hand was quite obvious, but they were not serious to the point of...

She reached out to take the handkerchief from his hand as she said, "I don't want to. Don't you know that you only need to be vaccinated when you're scratched by an animal? Besides, was my acting truly that bad?"

"What do you think? To me, she's no different from an animal. Also, your acting is unbearable," he said justifiedly. Then, he reached out to hold her hand again as he got Li Si to retrieve the first aid kit from the car before he began to help her clean the wound. When the medicine touched her wound, the fiery pain made Xi Xiaye inevitably gasp.

"Can you hurry up? It kind of hurts!" She hissed softly.

He was focused on cleaning the wound when he looked up at her. Without an ounce of pity, he said very calmly, "It's good to experience a little hurt. Once it hurts, you'll remember better. Next time, you can suffer less."

"Have I been suffering at all this time? In fact, I successfully made Xi Xinyi fly into a rage and break her facade. In fact, her hand seemed to have..." She could not help but defend herself. To her, she felt that she had performed quite well this time, so he should be praising her.

He casually glanced at her, then said calmly, "Do you want me to praise you? For being very good, very cool, very strong? Missus, did you know that you're starting to look more and more like a certain thing?"
