My Sloppy Husband Is Actually a Handsome Bigshot!-Chapter 205 - 197 Aunt Xu 2

Li Chengze couldn’t help but remember, back then, his mother and Mia kept Li Yanan in this place, treating him like a dog...

Just as Li Chengze was thinking about this, Li Yingying’s figure suddenly vanished.

He snapped his eyes wide open, took a closer look, and finally let out a sigh of relief.

It turned out Li Yingying didn’t vanish into thin air; she was crouched among the evergreen plants, and being so slender and small...

This is why Li Chengze thought she had disappeared.

"Mom, what on earth are you..."

"Shh, shut up!" Li Yingying turned her head, glaring fiercely at her son in the dark.

Li Chengze finally noticed that her mental state seemed a bit off.

Moreover, her hands were digging into the dirt, layer by layer, while mumbling incessantly to herself.

"Don’t blame me... Blame your own lowliness..."

Li Chengze initially thought he must have misheard, but when he moved behind Li Yingying and listened carefully...

There was no mistake; Li Yingying was indeed muttering those words.

"I can’t control my man... but I sure can control you... hehehehe..."

Li Yingying’s laughter in the chilling night wind was exceedingly unsettling.

At this moment, neither Li Chengze nor Li Yingying noticed that in a certain room of the servants’ quarter, with the lights off...

The curtain was being subtly lifted.

A shadow stood quietly behind the curtain, watching intently.

On the phone screen in the shadow’s hand, a combination of three numbers was primed and ready!

Li Chengze watched as Li Yingying frantically dug into the earth. He truly had no idea what she was trying to do.

No matter how he tried to stop her, Li Yingying, like someone deranged, continued digging with her hands.

Her long fingernails were packed with dirt. She didn’t care even as her fingers bled.

Who knows how long it went on like this, but before her, she had managed to claw out a large pit in a frenzy!

"Chengze, come and look..."

After a long time, Li Yingying looked back at her son, smiling eerily.

Li Chengze took a step forward and glanced inside.

In his heart, he felt a jolt, gasping sharply!

Something had happened at the Li household.

The next day, the neighbors beside the Li Mansion gathered to discuss the events of the previous night.

Late last night, many police cars, sirens blaring, had come rushing in, breaking the night’s tranquility.

Reportedly, the police had unearthed old bones at the Li’s residence the night before.

One was an adult, and the other was an underdeveloped child.

Li Yingying was taken by the police that night for questioning.

And all of this, Lin Zhenxin saw on the local news the next day.

At that time, Li Yanan was holding his car keys, about to head out.

Upon hearing the sound from the TV, he paused, his gaze falling on the screen.

Lin Zhenxin instinctively looked towards him.

She didn’t know what had been said in the study between Li Yanan and Li Yingying that night.

However, she could guess that the incident at the Li household had a connection with Li Yanan.

Lin Zhenxin was somewhat worried about Li Yanan.

Not just because of the Li family issue, but also because of last night...

In the middle of the night, while she was half-asleep, she found that Li Yanan, lying beside her, showed no sign of sleep.

In the darkness, he simply stared at the ceiling, lost in thought.

Initially, Lin Zhenxin thought she was dreaming, but thinking back this morning...

If it was a dream, it was too realistic!

"I’m leaving. I’ll be quite busy these next few days. I’ll call you if anything comes up."

Li Yanan diverted his gaze from the TV, his tone revealing no hint of his mood.

"Um..." Lin Zhenxin stood up, intending to ask if he had slept last night, but upon seeing Li Yanan’s cold expression...

She hesitated to voice her question.

Li Yanan patiently waited for her, and if Lin Zhenxin didn’t speak, he wouldn’t move.

"Hug..." After a long pause, Lin Zhenxin squeezed out those words from her throat.

Even she found it nauseating.

Li Yanan’s expression froze for a moment, and then his slightly indifferent lips curved up. Holding car keys in his hand, he opened his arms to her.

Since she said it, no matter how embarrassing, she had to finish the hug.

Lin Zhenxin, wearing only cotton socks, walked up to Li Yanan and embraced his strong waist, feeling a bit reluctant to let go.

"By the way, Aunt Xu... is Xun Chen’s mother?"

It was still too early, not yet Aunt Xu’s working hours, and even Grandma was enjoying a rare sleep-in and hadn’t gotten up yet.

Li Yanan didn’t hide it this time, nodding his head.

He pointed in the direction upstairs.

"Also, Aunt Xu lives right above us."

"..." Lin Zhenxin looked towards the ceiling in the direction Li Yanan pointed, unable to speak for a while.

No wonder she saw Aunt Xu take the elevator up last time.

"And Dean Xun..."

Li Yanan just smiled without speaking, and Lin Zhenxin understood, opting not to ask further.

After Li Yanan had left, Lin Zhenxin belatedly remembered to ask about the two skeletons.

Was one of them his mother? If so, whose child was the other skeleton?

But if not, then whose were these skeletons?

Leaning by the entrance, a puzzled expression spread across Lin Zhenxin’s face...

She received a call from Yao Lemon not long after Aunt Xu had returned home.

"Lin Zhenxin, quickly call the guard, they won’t let me in."

Yao Lemon never thought the security at Lin Zhenxin’s place would be so strict, no matter how much she explained, they wouldn’t let her in, and not even with an ID deposit.

Lin Zhenxin was momentarily stunned, then pressed the intercom to confirm the information and identity before finally allowing her entry.

Before Yao Lemon arrived, Lin Zhenxin had a cup of hot water.

She still remembered the dull ache in her lower abdomen from yesterday, and avoiding cold foods, she switched to hot water.

But more than half the day had passed, and still no bleeding.

Aunt Xu was cooking breakfast but was clearly preoccupied, unaware of what had happened yesterday.

The doorbell rang from outside, and just as Lin Zhenxin opened the door, Yao Lemon handed a bag of fruits over unceremoniously.

"I say, your neighborhood really is high-end—non-residents aren’t allowed in!"

Yao Lemon didn’t encounter anyone on her way there.

"Why are you here?"

"I’m worried about you!"

After the ordeal at the mall last time, coupled with today’s news about the Li family, Yao Lemon couldn’t sit still.

"Have you had breakfast?" Lin Zhenxin hadn’t finished speaking when her grandmother, carrying needle and thread, approached with delight upon seeing Lemon.

"Grandma, I’m here to scrounge a meal." Yao Lemon’s eyes laughed like crescents.

"Lemon... Xinxin... baby..." Grandma laughed too, reaching out to touch Lin Zhenxin’s belly after speaking.

"Are you pregnant?" Yao Lemon asked, eyes widening in surprise. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

"Don’t be silly, Grandma is confused, and so are you!"

"Who’s unclear here? You and Li Yanan have been married for quite some time now. It’s very possible!"

"And you and Gu Daxiong have been married quite a while too!"

The two exchanged glances as they spoke.

"Don’t mention him to me, I find him annoying," Yao Lemon replied irritably, dropping onto the sofa.

"Is it about the ex-wife?"

"Lin Zhenxin, why do you always pick at the sore spots?"

Yao Lemon retorted, rolling her eyes.

"But you, are you alright?"

He Nuoxin’s state was really not like a normal person, plus the He family’s wealth and her brother alone...

"What could possibly be wrong with me?"

Lin Zhenxin knew Yao Lemon was referring to He Nuoxin.

After several confrontations, she hadn’t gained any advantage over her, so she should just let it go, right?

Lin Zhenxin stood up when suddenly a stab of pain in her lower abdomen halted her movements.

That dull ache akin to menstrual pain came again.

"What’s wrong with you?" Yao Lemon was startled.

"It’s nothing. It could be that time of the month, my stomach has been aching a bit the past couple of days."

"That time of the month? Lin Zhenxin, our cycles are pretty similar, and mine was over some time ago..."

Lin Zhenxin’s expression stiffened.

"I have a friend who says some people mistake initial pregnancy symptoms for menstrual cramps, you might be..."

Yao Lemon and Lin Zhenxin exchanged glances.

"Could you really be...?"

Inside T.N.C Group’s headquarters.

Due to Li Yanan’s recent involvement, the company had been frequently in the public eye.

In fact, T.N.C Group had already been setting up a ring of influence in major cities around J City, with J City as its core...

Following Li Yanan’s instructions, Jiang Dongting and Jin Muchi remained inactive.

Upon entering headquarters, top-tier cutting-edge technologies were visible everywhere.

Everywhere you looked displayed the company’s technological and human-centric nature.

However, employees here had to sign non-disclosure agreements a few years back, prohibiting them from casually stating where they worked.

Sometimes they jokingly referred to themselves as being in a secret bureau.

That non-disclosure agreement automatically expired a short while ago.

In the CEO’s office, reflecting cold glints of tempered glass, Jiang Dongting was sitting face to face with Li Yanan who was in the executive chair.

"Has it started?" Jiang Dongting twiddled a gold-plated pen with his right hand, his stern face showing no expression.

"Yes." Li Yanan did not hold back his intentions from Jiang Dongting.

The three of them had been through a lot together—gunfire and rain, life and death...

To reach this point today, they shared a bond beyond life and death.

Li Yanan’s list of trusted people was short—he could count them on five fingers.

"You don’t need to worry about the funding. Mo Chi and I will support you unconditionally."

Jiang Dongting’s left hand, clad in a black leather glove, matched his ruthless facial characteristics.

"You seem quite exhausted these last couple of days."

Li Yanan remarked offhandedly.

Although appearing fragile, Chu Xingguang had a stubborn essence.

Due to this, Jiang Dongting had a challenging time recently.

Jiang Dongting didn’t respond, instead raising his eyes to Li Yanan, catching the fleeting glint of amusement in them.

"I once advised you not to let pride get in the way of any relationship."

"Apparently, practice is the sole criterion for truth."

Such teasing remarks could only come from Li Yanan directed at Jiang Dongting.

"Instead of talking about me, why don’t you sort out the He Nuoxin issue?"
