5: Chapter 6: The yandere chaebol woman got me pregnant and gave birth to her baby; my childhood sweetheart chose the blond guy and cheated on me!

Liu Ruyan had words on the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed them back.

Her beautiful eyes fell behind her...

onto the hospital pregnancy diagnosis report on the mahogany table!

Now, she was carrying Ye Yun's flesh and blood.

Whether she was a yandere psycho or a domineering female CEO of a conglomerate!

Liu Ruyan had made up her mind—

To nurture the "crystallization of love" between her and Ye Yun.

To bear Ye Yun's child!

Ten months of pregnancy, and the child in her womb would be born.

This was the best witness to her and Ye Yun's love.

It was also the best gift heaven had bestowed upon her!

She pondered for a moment.

Liu Ruyan asked in a low voice.

"Xuanyao, Kun Wu, when is the engagement party for Ye Yun and Xiao Xiaoxiao?"

Xuanyao replied.

"Tomorrow at two in the afternoon, at Yipin Zunfu Hotel in Jiangzhou."

Liu Ruyan further instructed her personal bodyguards, Xuanyao and Kun Wu.

"Good!"

"Tomorrow, Xuanyao, you will accompany me to Yipin Zunfu Hotel, to the engagement party site!"

"Kun Wu, you go to Tianlai KTV. According to my analysis, since Xiao Xiaoxiao chose to dally with her first love on the eve of the engagement party..."

"...then, given that she is such a trashy woman, a gold digger, she must not be sincerely engaged to Ye Yun."

"Moreover, with Xiao Xiaoxiao having Ye Yun wrapped around her finger, it is highly likely she will be absent from the engagement party and instead be with her rich second-generation boyfriend!"

"At that time, listen to my orders and act according to the situation!"

Xuanyao and Kun Wu could not say much more.

They only bowed and said loudly.

"Yes, Sister Ruyan!"

The next day.

13:30 in the afternoon.

Jiangzhou.

Yipin Zunfu Hotel.

A huge private room with nearly ten tables, enough to accommodate 150 people. The engagement party venue.

Decorated with festive balloons to set the mood.

The main guest seating area. There was a 4K high-definition wide electronic screen, using the engagement party poster of Ye Yun and Xiao Xiaoxiao as the background.

It read "Welcome to the Engagement Party." Even the walls were decorated with red paper-cut "Double Happiness" characters.

A scene of celebration.

Mostly Xiao Family friends and relatives—various aunts, uncles, and distant relatives—crowded into the engagement party venue.

It was packed with people.

"What a grand and impressive engagement party. Xiaoxiao is truly lucky to be marrying such a wealthy catch!"

"A wealthy catch? Pfft, that idiot Ye Yun is just a poor orphan and a loser. Don't insult the term 'wealthy catch'!"

"Exactly. His mother-in-law asked for a mere 888,800 in bride price, and he was stingy about it. When others get engaged, the bride price is easily hundreds of thousands, plus a car and a house!"

"See that? This is all the prestige of our Xiao Family. With one call, nearly 200 people came to support the event. In this huge Jiangzhou, Ye Yun doesn't even have a single relative or friend!"

"To be honest, Xiaoxiao is marrying down. Ye Yun is climbing the social ladder by marrying into our Xiao Family; it's like his ancestors' graves are smoking with good fortune."

"Eh? Where is Xiaoxiao? Why don't I see her?"

At the entrance of the private room, Ye Yun, dressed in a sharp suit, stood with Xiao Xiaoxiao's father, Xiao Shanhe, and his mother-in-law, Xia Rong, smiling and welcoming the guests.

Xiao Shanhe, with his beard, looked rather fierce. He glanced at Xia Rong and asked in a low voice.

"Where is Xiaoxiao? The engagement party is about to start; why isn't she here yet?"

Xia Rong's face darkened slightly, and she said irritably.

"How would I know!"

"She said she went to invite her 'male best friend' to attend the engagement party!"

After saying this, she frowned and glared furiously at Ye Yun.

"Ye Yun, what are you still standing there for?"

"Hurry up and call Xiaoxiao!"

Ye Yun gave an "Oh," immediately stepped away from the guests, walked to the nearby corridor, and dialed Xiao Xiaoxiao's number.

"Beep, beep, beep~" "Sorry, the user you are calling is temporarily unavailable!"

A sense of foreboding welled up in Ye Yun's heart. No choice. Call again!

"Beep~" "Sorry, the user you are calling is powered off!"

Although Ye Yun was very unwilling to admit it, the cruel reality was right in front of him. He had to accept it.

He dialed several more times in a row. Still powered off!

Ye Yun walked back to Xiao Shanhe and Xia Rong.

"Dad, Mom, Xiaoxiao... her phone is off, I can't get through!"

Hearing this, Xiao Shanhe and Xia Rong exchanged glances, looking at each other in dismay. In an instant, Xia Rong's eyes widened, glaring at Ye Yun, and she rebuked him.

"Ye Yun, did you make Xiaoxiao angry? Otherwise, why would her phone be off?"

Ye Yun, with an innocent face, defended himself.

"Mom, I didn't~ Since I delivered the cash for the bride price to your home last time and met with Xiaoxiao, she has always said she was busy. We haven't really seen each other much since."

Xiao Shanhe said with a gloomy face, "The engagement party is about to start; hurry up and go find her!"

"If all the Xiao Family's friends and relatives have come to the engagement party, and Xiaoxiao is absent, where will we put our faces in the future!"

Xia Rong, aggressive and fierce, scolded Ye Yun.

"Useless trash! It must be you who made Xiaoxiao angry! Don't just stand there, go find her!"

Ye Yun secretly clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. At this moment, boiling blood surged in his chest. Suddenly, a wave of resentment rushed to his head.

If only the engagement party with Xiaoxiao could be held smoothly today, that would be one thing. If not, Ye Yun would no longer have to swallow his pride and act like a subservient grandson.

For all these years, out of consideration for his so-called childhood sweetheart love with Xiaoxiao, he had endured everything! Accommodated everything! What he got in return was not Xiao Xiaoxiao's affection, but rather, increasingly severe humiliation from Xiaoxiao and the Xiao Family.

Perhaps this deformed relationship was wrong from the start! The more he endured like a grandson, the more he was manipulated by Xiaoxiao's family. They really treated him like a grandson! Like a sucker!

Even if Xiao Xiaoxiao were absent from the engagement party today, they would still blame Ye Yun!

And for Ye Yun, the strange information that surfaced when he was imprisoned by Liu Ruyan, jumped out the window, and escaped into the sea... seemed to be getting clearer.

The fragments of memory gradually pieced together a profile—

He, Ye Yun, the crown prince of the Beijing circle, a third-generation red with impeccable roots, the SSSSSS-level General Zhenbei appointed by the War Department!

He, Ye Yun, rose in the underground world, founding the mysterious organization Dragon Blade that made both the black and white worlds tremble!

He, Ye Yun, holds the Bronze Token of the [Sanctuary] in the business world, commanding the business circles and possessing all commercial resources!

He, Ye Yun, inherited the arts of a divine doctor and practiced national martial arts... Furthermore, there are still many unknown and unsolved mysteries about his life!

At this moment, he lowered his sword-like eyebrows and looked down at Xiao Shanhe and Xia Rong with disdain. Silently, he turned and left.

While dialing Xiao Xiaoxiao's phone, although it remained powered off, he searched everywhere for places she might have gone...

As a result, at 14:00, he returned to the engagement party venue. Xiao Xiaoxiao was still nowhere to be found.

As soon as Xiao Shanhe and Xia Rong saw the sweating and exhausted Ye Yun, the couple walked straight over and demanded angrily.

"Ye Yun, where is Xiaoxiao?"

Ye Yun shook his head slightly and said gloomily.

"Dad, Mom, I still couldn't find Xiaoxiao. Could something have happened to her? Otherwise, should we call the police?"

Xia Rong was furious and roared like a lioness, scolding him.

"Ye Yun, you really are a useless coward! Do you want something to happen to Xiaoxiao that much? On such a happy day as the engagement party, are you cursing my Xiaoxiao?"

"Call the police, call the police, screw you! F*** you!"

"I just had a video call with Xiaoxiao this morning, and she happily said she would come to the engagement party on time! It must be something you said that made her angry!"

Ye Yun couldn't help but feel blood rush to his head, and he explained in a low voice.

"Mom! Can you be reasonable? I sent Xiaoxiao a WeChat message today asking her to come to the engagement party on time, and she hasn't replied to me yet!"

At the same time, he took out his phone, opened WeChat, and waved it in front of Xia Rong.

A short, warm reminder— "Baby Xiaoxiao, it's finally our most important moment—the engagement party, 2:00 PM, let's go together!" Display: Read, no reply!

Xiao Shanhe scratched the back of his head, as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"Enough, stop arguing! Now, friends and relatives are all here, and Xiaoxiao is absent! This girl is too unreasonable. On such an important day, what kind of temper is she throwing? If today's engagement party is ruined because of Xiaoxiao's absence, we will be absolutely humiliated!"

Xia Rong glared fiercely at Ye Yun.

"Ye Yun, it's all your fault. You are a jinx, a bringer of bad luck! Usually, I always tell you that my Xiaoxiao has never suffered or been wronged since she was a child, so you should be more accommodating. No need to think about it, it must be that you treated Xiaoxiao badly!"

Ye Yun was speechless for a moment, but the anger suppressed in his chest was about to erupt like a volcano.

"Haha! Mom, think about it, how else do you want me to treat her well? All these years, I have been as humble as a blade of dogtail grass. I endured everything, accommodated everything, and obeyed her in everything. Food, daily necessities, what didn't I give her the best of? She almost rides on my head to crap and pee, manipulating me in every way! Isn't that treating her well enough? Treating her like an ancestor, isn't that enough?"

Xia Rong shouted and scolded.

"What? Ye Yun, do you feel wronged? Have you been unhappy for a long time? Let me tell you, Xiaoxiao agreeing to marry you is the blessing you've cultivated over several lifetimes! Don't be ungrateful, you useless trash! Stop complaining, you should reflect on yourself. Are you rich enough? Are you working hard enough? Can you provide a high-quality life for Xiaoxiao? My Xiaoxiao marrying you is not to alleviate poverty, nor is it to suffer with you! Understand?"

Ye Yun, with a look of disdain, glanced sideways at Xia Rong.

"Haha! Blame me, right?! Yes, yes, yes, you are all so shrewd, so calculating. One by one, you are selfish, and now it has become my fault! If I'm not mistaken, Xiaoxiao is dallying with her 'male best friend' and 'soulmate', right? Doing some full-body deep SPA massage? Her male best friend is the eldest young master of the Chen Family, a first-class family in Jiangzhou, Young Master Chen Kun, right? To put it more bluntly, Xiao Xiaoxiao has long cheated and two-timed! From beginning to end, I have been a big sucker, right?"
