In the end, I wasn't able to find out more because Beiming Xue refused to speak after that. My excessive concern drew Murong Mingyue's attention, however.

“Lu Chen, can you come over for a moment? There's something I need to talk to you about.”

Murong Mingyue pulled me by the sleeves and dragged me to a nearby bar regardless of my protests. Once we sat down at a corner, she shot me a question. “Did you notice something isn't quite right with Beiming Xue as of late?”

“Mn!”

I nodded strongly. “What's wrong with her?”

Murong Mingyue cupped her wine gla.s.s before explaining, “I saw her vomiting inside her room this morning, but nothing seems to be coming out of her mouth. Besides that, she's been getting up later and later recently. Do you know what that means?”

I shuddered. “Is she hitting her second p.u.b.erty?”

“Oh, you!”

Murong Mingyue punched me lightly before saying very seriously, “You probably don't get it, but I do. If I'm not mistaken, then Beiming Xue is probably… pregnant!”

“Ah?!”

My mouth fell right open. “How is that possible? I asked her about her relations.h.i.+ps when she first came to Suzhou. How can she get pregnant when she didn't even have a boyfriend?”

Murong Mingyue smiled at me. “You fool. Do you think you can guess a girl's thoughts completely during your first meeting? Maybe she had a failed relations.h.i.+p in the past. Maybe it was the main reason she decided to come to Suzhou, to begin her life anew. But she didn't realize her previous relations.h.i.+p had resulted in her getting pregnant, and since this is probably her first time she didn't dare to talk to anyone about this at all…”

I stared intently at her for a moment. “I see… say, sis. Is it just me, or does it sound like you've experienced this yourself?”

Murong Mingyue got angry. “You brat! Of course not, I just met a lot of young girls in the company who had had the same experience. Hmph! I'm… I'm still a virgin, okay…”

“Holy s.h.i.+t, I cannot believe you just said that!”

Murong Mingyue puffed up her chest fearlessly. “Why wouldn't I? It's the truth, isn't it? I'm never afraid to telling the truth!”

I took a seat in dejection. “Anyway, back to Beiming Xue. What on earth should we do about her? Even if I understand her circ.u.mstances now, I'm still a guy. It's not right for me to ask her about this directly…”

Murong Mingyue thought for a moment before smiling. “Should I find an opportunity to speak to her about it? Indirectly, of course.”

“Mn!”

……

Suddenly, we heard a noisy commotion from outside. It seemed to be an argument of sorts.

“What's going on? Let's head out and take a look!” Murong Mingyue rose to her feet.

I was already on the move and striding toward the lounge. I immediately saw Beiming Xue and a young man with dyed red hair standing next to the pool. The guy looked incredibly rowdy, and for some reason I felt like I had seen him somewhere. A few seconds later, I abruptly realized that he was that “One True Love” we took out this morning! I could never forget someone with eyes as disgusting as his!

Beiming Xue looked like she was about to collapse on the spot. Delicate shoulders trembling and tears streaking down her cheeks, she pointed a finger at the young man and cried out, “Get lost! Get lost!”

One True Love frowned at her. “Ah Xue, won't you come back with me? You can't be happy to be a stranger in a strange place…”

Beiming Xue bit her lips and suddenly cried loudly. “How dare you say that to me with a straight face! Why didn't you think of me when you were sleeping with another woman? Why didn't you think about my feelings when you manipulated Zhang Qing and made her lie to my face?”

While saying this, Beiming Xue leaned against a wall and sobbed. “You don't know how to love someone at all. It's all just a tally to you. Go away, I don't have feelings for you anymore…”

“Ah Xue, how can you criticize me like that?”

……

Gui Guzi and Du Thirteen were around too, but they didn't get involved with the argument. After all, this was Beiming Xue's private business, and it wasn't their right to interfere thoughtlessly.

But I wasn't able to hold myself back. I pushed aside the forming crowd and walked up to Beiming Xue. “Beiming, what's going on?”

“Boss…”

Beiming Xue looked at me sadly and helplessly. Beiming Xue was both angry and terrified of One True Love, and the moment she saw me she jumped straight into my lap and cried like a broken dam.

One True Love's eyes instantly turned hateful. He stared at me and asked coldly, “You're the one who swindled her to Suzhou, weren't you? What is your goal, you G.o.dd.a.m.ned sc.u.m?”

I looked at him but didn't say anything.

But One True Love took my silence as a gesture of submission and jabbed his finger at us, sneering, “I knew it. You've already slept with him, haven't you?”

Beiming Xue's eyes turned furious. “Get lost!”

I sucked in a deep breath and gently pushed Beiming Xue to Murong Mingyue. Then, I spun around and punched the motherf.u.c.ker right on the cheek!

Bang!

The punch was about as solid as it could be. You could almost hear his jaw dislocating from his bones.

One True Love collapsed like a rock, but he struggled to his feet and jabbed his finger at me again. He shouted incoherently, “f.u.c.k… your mother, how dare you fool around with my woman! Just you wait, I'll… make you pay for what you've done!”

Without a word, I grabbed his collar with my left hand and punched his stomach with my right!

Pu!

His face turned purple as the air exited his lungs. His expression became even more distorted and sinister-looking than before.

It didn't take a genius to figure out that he was a real hooligan in real life. Sigh, G.o.d knows how Beiming Xue even fell for him in the first place.

Three punches later, the man could do nothing but pant heavily on the floor. His face was covered in blood, and one of his front teeth had dropped to the corridor. He could no longer even speak without sounding like a leaking bagpipe.

Gui Guzi chose this moment to walk up to One True Love and kick him again and again in the body. One True Love was lucky that Gui Guzi was wearing a pair of sports shoes, not leather shoes. He actually could've died from the sheer force behind the kick if it was the latter.

I stared at the gasping One True Love before saying coldly, “Enough, Little Gui.”

“Mn.”
