Chapter 340 - Old Acquaintance (2/2)

He knew that she was not worth it, and yet he still thought about her almost every day. His mind was unwilling to do so, yet his heart still thought of her. Why, just why was this for?

No one could give him an answer, and he was even more so unable to.

The night was extremely dark, and there were bound to be people with sleepless nights. The man on this bed, at this point, could only open his perplexed black eyes till morning when he fell asleep faintly.

Li Manni walked out from the hospital, disappointed. She placed a hand on her stomach. Recently, she felt fatigued and had slight retching. She was ecstatic and thought that she had gotten pregnant, and so she went full of hope to the hospital for a check-up. However, the results led to her disappointment. She was not pregnant. It was just a bad stomach ache.

She let out a sigh gently. Why was it that after such a long time, she still had not successfully conceived? When would she finally have a child?

She entered the car, not realizing the pair of eyes watching her. The gaze was cold and dark, like that of a predator who had caught its prey, malice painted with poison.

The car stopped, and Li Manni got off the car. She raised her head. The two-story villa in front of her, where she had lived in for four years, was as empty as before. It was really missing a child. If they had a child, everything could be solved.

Mr. and Mrs. Chu had not visited for a long time, perhaps due to that reason. They had not gotten over their sadness. After all, it was a grandchild they had been looking forward to for four years. They could not accept it all of a sudden. They were expecting their grandchild, but all of a sudden he was gone. They needed more time. Time might bring them another child, but another child seemed so far away.

A figure approached her slowly, and a strange voice sounded. ”Mrs. Chu, we haven't seen each other for a long time?”

Li Manni turned around immediately, her face turning black in an instant. ”It's you?”

Behind her was a man well-dressed in a suit but did not reach 1.7 meters. He was extremely skinny with protruding cheekbones, and his extremely cold eyes made one feel fearful instantly. It was evident that this man was no good with just a glance.

The corners of his lips lifted into a conniving smile. ”It's me. I see that Mrs. Chu, you're still as beautiful even after four years. You haven't changed.” He gave her a once-over, his eyes full of malice and revealing a greedy frenzy for her body.

Beautiful, extremely beautiful. Chu Lui's woman was indeed good. The previous one was, and so was this, but… thinking of this, his eyes suddenly blazed with a strong hatred.

”Don't look at me with those disgusting eyes.” Li Manni took a few steps back. She hated the way he looked at her as if he was ripping off her clothes with his eyes.

”Disgusting?” The man sneered. ”Mrs. Chu, if I am disgusting, what about you? You've been drugging your husband for four years. Don't you find yourself vicious and disgusting? You'll even harm your own husband. A woman like you still wants a man to love you? You say I'm disgusting, but I think you're the disgusting one. Don't you agree, beautiful Mrs. Chu?” he said, but his words made Li Manni's heart froze all of a sudden. She felt a coldness seep deep into her heart and pierce her bones.
