“Sutong had just woken up from her fainting spell and didn’t know what Zheng had done before. She was worried about him losing control, given how scared he looked at that moment and the fact that he had already drugged her, so she blurted out that the child was his.”
“To avoid being exposed by the Ye family for what she had done, the two had not been intimate since then and hadn’t seen or communicated with each other.”
“Zheng had no idea about Sutong’s real intentions. Sutong, too, was just seeking revenge, wanting Ye Minxing to support a child that wasn’t hers.”
“Why were they all forcing her into this situation?”
“But this revelation wasn’t just a shock for Zheng; it left everyone in the room, including the viewers and the Ye family, in disbelief.”
“The comments briefly went blank before flooding with messages like: ‘Wow, what a love triangle!’ ‘What’s a love triangle? I’m out—just these three entangled!'”
Ye Minxing was seething with anger.
Yet, he refused to believe that the girl who once pursued him relentlessly would put this kind of burden on him. As he saw the sympathetic glances from the others and the angry looks from the Ye family, Ye Minxing loudly declared, “This is fake! She’s just saying this to make Zheng back off!”
The mood in the Ye family softened slightly, but it wasn’t as frantic as before.
If Ye Minxing was right, that would be ideal, but they had already lost some hope for the child. Once the child grows a bit older, they would need to do a paternity test.
With everyone seemingly believing his words, Ye Minxing felt more at ease, convinced it was just as he said. But just then, Sutong spoke again, and the camera captured her. She looked Zheng in the eye, saying, “This is real! Why would I have a child for Ye Minxing? You know that I’ve been chasing him since I was sixteen. He preferred a girl who appeared out of nowhere over me…”
“Now that he’s come back, why should I agree?” Sutong’s eyes were full of resentment. Some things couldn’t be said; after all, in her past life, she had died because of Ye Minxing!
“She died for love, yet still loved?” Sutong thought to herself, staring directly at Zheng. She cried out, “I don’t love him, I hate him! Why would I have a child for him? Zheng, the child is ours, I’ve calculated the dates; it’s yours! Please don’t do anything foolish!”
Yes, she was doing this to get back at Ye Minxing. If not for him falling for another girl, divorcing his wife, and giving Sutong a chance to be reborn, Sutong wouldn’t have learned about the Su family’s situation. This gave her a year’s window to find an opportunity.
Dealing with it herself was better than risking exposure or inspection later on, which would carry far more weight.
Viewers watching the live stream were shocked and confused:
“Exciting!”
“Help! This isn’t just a plan to appease Zheng; it’s real!”
“The green hat is so obvious! The whole country knows!”
Seeing this, everyone relaxed. With Sutong’s statement, Zheng wouldn’t dare to hurt her, so they started joking around.
Qingli seemed more at ease now. She clearly remembered that in the original story, Sutong still had some feelings for Ye Minxing at the beginning, but over time, as she spent more time with Zheng, she genuinely stopped loving Ye Minxing.
Everything she did was just a casual form of revenge. Why would she have a child for Ye Minxing?
In a previous life, Sutong’s obsession had driven her to the point of almost going to jail; why was she so easily compromising this time?
Zheng’s mouth hung open: “D*mn it! Sutong knows how to play the game!”
Off-screen, Ye Minxing was completely dumbfounded, shocked, and deeply hurt as he looked at the screen. The Ye family’s faces, which had just softened a bit, turned completely pale. Without a second thought, they quickly turned and left. As they were leaving, Ye’s father slapped Ye Minxing angrily, shouting, “What are you still doing here? Go home!”
Ye Minxing was dazed, following his parents blankly. It seemed he hadn’t fully processed Sutong’s words yet.
On-screen, Zheng seemed to have snapped back to reality, but his first reaction wasn’t joy; he was panicking as he looked towards the camera that was live-streaming. He rushed over and tried to shut it down. The two of them were facing away from the camera. Sutong hadn’t noticed it before, but when Zheng rushed over, she looked too and saw a snapshot that perfectly captured their situation.
Her brow furrowed in instinctive worry. She asked, “Zheng, what’s this?”
Zheng turned off the live stream, his face white and his expression full of regret. “… I had planned… to die with you. I’m sorry…”
“Live stream?” Sutong couldn’t believe her ears.
Zheng nodded sadly, hating Ye Minxing and the Ye family, but feeling powerless against them. If he had never had Sutong, he would have been able to dedicate his whole life to her. But now that he had known and lost her, and the woman he loved was moving on so quickly with another man!
He was willing to die for Sutong, to give up everything, but why couldn’t Sutong do the same for him, and give up the Su family?
Sutong, obsessed with chasing after Ye Minxing, and Zheng, is equally obsessed with protecting Sutong, when obsession becomes pathological, it can be as destructive as it is all-consuming.
His legs buckled, and he knelt on the ground, his voice hoarse: “I’m sorry.”
“What good is an apology?!” Sutong shouted, her voice trembling with anger. “Are you insane? Did you go live-streaming suicide? Now everyone knows what I’ve done, and this child won’t survive!”
Zheng was more regretful than ever, covering his face, unable to look at her.
Sutong hated him so much, that even though she still loved him, she couldn’t help but hit him a few times. Just as she was about to strike again, a loud noise came from the doorway, followed by a group of police officers brandishing guns appearing on the scene.
Suo Tang froze, her entire body feeling as if it had plunged into an ice cellar—police were here, and the last shred of hope was gone. The Ye family knew, and a breakup was inevitable. If her parents found out, would they be so upset they might even vomit blood?
“Don’t move!” the police officer’s sharp command rang out.
The two dazed individuals didn’t react at all. Suo Tang could only silently shed tears.
She was the victim—no one said a word as two officers quickly advanced. One aimed a gun at Ji Yan’s head while the other handcuffed him.
Another officer guided Suo Tang away.
Ji Yan did not attempt to resist, silently extending his hands to let the police cuff him.
This situation was far beyond a simple love triangle now.
Suo Tang shivered, looking at Ji Yan, only able to see his head covered with a black cloth bag and the silver handcuffs—just one look was enough to feel that the rest of her life was bleak, it was over!
Everything was over now.
Suo Tang despaired, collapsing weakly on the bed with no strength left, clutching her stomach in pain. “Ah! It hurts so much!”
