Chapter 9 : Misunderstood

• "But..."
• I touched my stomach, my face pale, and looked at Yang Xue with worry in my eyes.
• "The most important thing for you right now is to take care of your own health. You don't need to worry about anything else."
• Yang Xue patted my shoulder and said meaningfully.
• I lowered my head, looking at my stomach, feeling a strong sense of sadness.
• Yang Xue was right, the most important thing for me now was to take care of my health and take good care of the child in my belly. He had narrowly escaped Yu Jia's abuse, and I couldn't let anything happen to him.
• At four o'clock in the afternoon, I had just woken up from a nap when Yu Jia appeared in my hospital room wearing a red dress.
• Seeing Yu Jia, my body instinctively trembled.
• "What does Miss Yu want from me?"
• I tried to suppress my fear, clutching the blanket on my body, looking at Yu Jia with slightly red eyes and asking.
• A coldness filled Yu Jia's beautiful face as she threw a stack of newspapers in front of me.
• I looked at her in confusion.
• "Miss Mu, it seems that you haven't learned your lesson. A poor and insignificant commoner like you dares to provoke us?"
• What does she mean?
• I furrowed my brows and picked up the newspaper. When I saw the contents, my whole body trembled.
• #Huoshijituan's CEO, Huo Chengjin, deceives a rural girl, abandons her after she gets pregnant, and his actions are despicable#
• #The rich second generation abandons his pregnant wife and even causes her to have a miscarriage#
• There was also a tear-jerking article attached, along with Mu Nanyi's name and family background.
• "This isn't me..."
• I tightly held the newspaper, looked up at Yu Jia, and shook my head in defense.
• "You instigated your brother to gather the media in the capital and go to Ajin's company to put up banners, smearing Ajin's reputation."
• Yu Jia's words made me take a deep breath.
• I never expected that my older brother would do such a thing. Isn't he just asking for trouble?
• What is Huoshijituan? Why did he... go there to cause trouble?
• "I'm going to find my brother right away."
• I gritted my teeth, lifted the blanket, got out of bed, and said to Yu Jia.
• Yu Jia looked at me coldly, her eyes filled with disdain and mockery.
• "People like you, who come from humble backgrounds, are only interested in money. Before Ajin revealed his identity, he gave your family a lot of money. Now that you know Ajin's identity, you're playing these tricks, trying to take advantage of him. So, I must say, commoners will always be commoners."
• "Miss Yu, the villa you live in is also built by commoners. Without commoners, no matter how much money you have, you wouldn't be able to build a house."
• I pinched my palm, raised my chin, and said calmly to Yu Jia.
• "Well spoken. I want to see how long you can keep up this act."
• After Yu Jia finished speaking coldly, she glanced at me contemptuously and left my hospital room, walking away in her high heels.
• I watched Yu Jia's departing figure, wiped the sweat from my forehead, tidied myself up, and left the hospital room to find my older brother.
• I left the hospital and took a taxi to Huoshijituan.
• Sure enough, I saw Huoshijituan surrounded by the media, and standing in the center, shouting through a megaphone, was my older brother.
• With a cold face, I immediately approached him and threw the megaphone out of his hand.
• "Mu Qiang, how long are you going to embarrass yourself here?"
• "Mu Nanyi, have you gone crazy? I'm fighting for justice for you."
• My older brother saw me throw away the megaphone and started yelling at me.
• "Don't embarrass yourself here, come with me."
• I suppressed my anger, grabbed my older brother's hand, and tried to lead him away. If we didn't leave, Huo Chengjin would never let him go.
• But my older brother refused, forcefully shaking off my hand and sternly saying to me, "You've suffered so much injustice, shouldn't you seek justice for yourself? Huo Chengjin deceived your feelings, took advantage of you for so long, and even caused you to have a miscarriage. These rich people think they can do whatever they want just because they have some money. They're nothing but scum."
• Watching my righteous older brother, I couldn't help but feel angry.
• "Take him to the police station."
• I steadied myself and was about to step forward when Huo Chengjin's cold voice sounded at that moment.
• The reporters rushed towards Huo Chengjin after seeing him, and I was pushed aside. My older brother continued to shout, demanding a huge compensation from Huo Chengjin, threatening to bankrupt him if he didn't comply.
• As I was being pushed by the crowd, protecting my stomach with both hands, a reporter forcefully stepped on my foot and pushed me away.
• Losing my balance, I fell backward.
• "Ah." I was filled with fear, hugging my stomach tightly. When I closed my eyes in despair, a hand wrapped around my waist and held me in their arms. I smelled a familiar scent.
• This was... Huo Chengjin's scent.
• With a lingering fear, I looked up and saw Huo Chengjin's cold and flawless chin, as well as his mercilessly handsome face.
• "Huo Chengjin."
• I opened my mouth and couldn't help but call out to him.
• He frowned, let go of me, and his eyes turned cold as he said, "Mu Nanyi, when we divorced, I offered you money, but you refused to take it. Was it because you thought it was too little? Is that why you had your brother come here to cause a scene?"
• Huo Chengjin's words made me feel uncomfortable.
• He misunderstood me.
