My Fortune-Blessed Leading Lady-Chapter 622: Late Retribution 30

Qi Younian was stunned by Meng Qiuyan’s straightforwardness, staring ahead and feeling his heart thud, "Did I just experience an auditory hallucination?"

How could he think he heard Meng Qiuyan agree to have his child?

Although he was not young anymore... but...

Meng Qiuyan chuckled, looking at his shocked expression with a touch of bittersweet feeling. It wasn’t that the issue had never come up, but after she refused, Qi Younian never mentioned it again.

Everything was left to her happiness, but now, she suddenly felt some regret.

Could it be that she was also someone worth living for?

Meng Qiuyan gripped his hand tightly, "You didn’t have an auditory hallucination, and I didn’t misspeak. I said, if both of us are okay and live on, I will have a child with you."

She was not young anymore—it was about time she had a child. Boy or girl, it didn’t matter; she just needed a child of her own.

The focus of Qi Younian’s concern immediately became a bargain, "Can I throw away all those things at home?"

Meng Qiuyan blushed, wanting to slap his face. Was this the time to say such a thing? What was he thinking?

"Yes."

Qi Younian’s lips curled up slightly, with a triumphant smile, "Meng Qiuyan, remember what you said. No matter what, I hope that I’ll be fine today. I have something even more worth living for."

Bang—

Without realizing it, they had driven to the outskirts. Silence surrounded them. The car behind seemed impatient and suddenly crashed into them. Their hands separated, Meng Qiuyan’s complexion turned pale, and she instinctively looked at Qi Younian’s expression while he comforted her.

"Close your eyes; it will be over quickly on our side."

Meng Qiuyan shook her head, "No, I want to be with you, no matter what we go through, I can be with you."

Qi Younian felt reassured, "Okay."

Bang bang bang—

Boom—

At this moment, Qi Younian and Meng Qiuyan were unaware that everything happening on this road was being broadcast on the biggest central screen in the capital, with many people on the square watching. Initially, everyone saw an advertisement playing on the big screen.

Then a snowy, blurry image appeared, which eventually turned into a live murder scene.

Ah—

In the square, under the gaze of thousands, the murder unfolded before them, especially shocking when they recognized the people in the small car ahead.

"My God, it’s a murder, this is murder."

Someone shouted out, and many people snapped back to their senses from their astonishment. Then they saw a very dangerous scene on the big screen where the car behind hit the sedan in front, causing it to spin 360 degrees.

"My God, call the police, call the police quickly. I know the people in the car, it’s Meng Qiuyan and Qi Younian from Ran Studio. This is murder, definitely murder."

Many people who had regained their composure were already taking out their mobile phones, with some calling the police and others recording the incident, as if everyone had something to do. There was even an internet celebrity who set up their phone and turned into a news anchor, providing live coverage.

Thanks to the internet speed, the Christmas atmosphere vanished on Christmas Day, and everyone’s attention was focused on one point: the audacious, live murder.

All major websites were quickly blown up by this explosive news.

...

In a certain villa area in the capital.

"Madam, it’s bad news; the plot has been revealed." Zhao Shuqin picked up the phone, and her confidant’s doubtful voice came through, very unstable.

"What’s wrong? Did that stinking girl, Meng Qiuyan, die?"

That time, knowing she hadn’t killed the girl, she felt uneasy. Now, Xi Nian’s life was hanging by a thread, and although she couldn’t see him, all the news indicated that he wouldn’t wake up.

He would be nothing but a cripple then.

She just wanted to see the look of regret on Xi Zhen’s face.

Although Xi Zhen felt sorry for her, in truth, he had been concerned about her over the years, and it seemed Xi Zhen had changed a lot.

Last time, she thought that after he knew her attitude, he would leave here for London, but unexpectedly, Xi Zhen stayed with her all the time, even though he didn’t receive any kindness from her. Yet, it couldn’t be denied that Xi Zhen was indeed by her side.

And the butler with Xi Zhen would bring her breakfast every day.

What Xi Zhen meant by doing these things, she didn’t want to ask or care about.

But one thing, she did not wish to have any more entanglements with Xi Zhen. If she could piss him off to death, all the better.

But now, the reaction of her confidant was off. Her expression darkened, "What’s with the panic? It’s unseemly."

The confidant, "Madam, we’ve been exposed! You had my brother go to kill Meng Qiuyan, and now it’s being broadcasted live all over the internet. The police are already on the way. Once this is exposed, you know the consequences, Madam."

The confidant was clearly panic-stricken too. The wrongdoer was his brother, and if caught red-handed, there would be no good ending. The whole internet was condemning the perpetrator now.

Even though he had called his brother, telling him to back off immediately, his brother simply wouldn’t listen.

Saying that after this, he would have a lot of money; he had gone mad, his eyes filled only with greed.

If the Madam didn’t call it off now, he believed his brother would continue in his delusion and wouldn’t stop.

The confidant was internally frantic.

"What do you mean exposed?" Zhao Shuqin’s hand trembled with the news. Until now, everything she had done had gone too smoothly. After issuing orders, she never followed up, always achieving the most satisfactory results. But now, the sudden news stunned her.

She repeated in disbelief.

"What did you just say? What’s been exposed?"

The confidant switched gears, recounting what was happening online at that moment, while Zhao Shuqin turned on the TV, scolding him, "Doesn’t your brother have a brain? How could he handle things this way? Now that such a thing has happened, you should make him stop immediately. If I’m exposed, none of you will get off easy."

Zhao Shuqin knew all too well the power she had behind her, and the confidant didn’t dare say more, could only make another call to his brother.

Meanwhile, Zhao Shuqin watched various live broadcasts on TV, her hand trembling as she continuously changed channels, but the news was the same everywhere.

This breaking point enflamed the whole nation.

Not even action movies would dare to shoot like this; murdering in such a manner was terrifying.

The public, following this event, waited for the final outcome.

Meng Qiuyan gripped Qi Younian’s arm tightly, her face deathly pale, "Qi Younian..."

She wanted to ask if he would regret making such a choice and whether one day in the future, he would harbor resentment towards her because of the decision he made today.

But she didn’t dare to ask.

Even though Qi Younian was focused on driving, he sensed the unease deep inside her. Looking straight ahead, he spoke firmly, "Meng Qiuyan, don’t think about all that nonsense. Listen to me clearly;

The things you promised to give me, you can’t miss a single one."

Meng Qiuyan blinked her eyes, now misty with tears, "I..."

"I love you and am willing to die with you; it’s my own choice, you just have to put up with it."
