d back by the force and stumbled. Before she could steady herself, the gleaming dagger in the man's hand had already pierced forward to her chest.She paled with fright and couldn't dodge in time.On th...Lin Xiaoru was a little frightened, but she couldn't show it on her face. She could only turn her anger back to Su Kexin and say: "Su Kexin, hello there. You really are two-faced! You think that cutting off ties with the Lin family is the end of it I tell you, you have Lin Haisheng's blood flowing through your veins, and you'll never be able to wash it away!"

She turned to Gu Chi and continued, "Mr. Gu, I came here today out of kindness to see my sister. I heard she was pregnant, so I came to see how she's doing."

She thought that by making excuses for herself, Gu Chi would be polite to her.

To his surprise, Gu Chi merely let out a cold snort, his voice as icy as if laced with shards of ice. "Lin Xiaoru, you'd best not push your luck. You saved me, not Su Kexin. I can repay you, but don't even think about making things difficult for Su Kexin."

Gu Chi's voice was icy and low, terrifyingly so. Lin Xiaoru was a little scared.

But soon, she let out a sneer, "Mr. Gu, don't you forget who saved you back then Now you're questioning me"

Lin Xiaoru sat on the sofa, arms crossed, her heart brimming with confidence. Hearing this, Gu Chi must have remembered her "kindness" and endured her rudeness. So she continued: “Didn’t you want to repay your debt Didn’t you say that husband and wife face everything together What Now you want to go back on your word I came to find you, I'm a guest, asking your wife to pour me a cup of tea, is that too much Pregnant, precious Still just the child of an outsider...”

"Lin Xiaoru."

Before Lin Xiaoru could finish her words, Gu Chi suddenly spoke in a cold voice, interrupting her.

She was startled, she raised her head to look at Gu Chi, and she realized that the other person's eyes were terrifyingly cold.

"Get out." Gu Chi was clearly too lazy to say another word to Lin Xiaoru, just coldly spitting out three words.

Lin Xiaoru was completely dumbfounded.

"Gu Chi, what do you mean" She stood up abruptly. "You treat your savior like this—"

"Whether or not you are my savior," Gu Chi interrupted Lin Xiaoru again, "as long as you offend Su Kexin, I will not forgive you."

Gu Chi opened his mouth, his icy gaze falling on Lin Xiaoru. Lin Xiaoru suddenly felt as if she were in a cellar, and her heart was filled with shock at the same time.

In her opinion, Gu Chi was a loyal and righteous person. It was precisely because of this that she hoped to use Gu Chi's hand to give Su Ke Xin a good slap in the face.

...but looking back now...

Did she ultimately underestimate Su Kexin's position in Gu Chi's eyes

No, Gu Zhi still has use. She can't give up on him, she can't abandon this last straw.

Upon reading this, Lin Xiaoru immediately changed her expression, putting a hand on her stomach as if it were perfectly natural.

"Oh, sorry about that. Pregnancy hormones are making me a bit emotional lately, prone to mood swings and little tantrums. I'm sure my elder sister, with her big heart, will understand and forgive my shortcomings. After all, she's pregnant too."

Lin Xiaoru strengthened her pregnancy again, afraid that others would not know that she and Su Kexin were both pregnant.

On the other hand, Su Kexin was stunned when she heard Gu Zhi defending her.

She knew how much Gu Chi cared about the benefactor who had saved her ten years ago, so despite the resentment she felt towards Lin Xiaoru's insults, she was already prepared to endure them.

But unexpectedly, Gu Chi actually spoke up for her.

Su Ke Xin's heart felt warm, and she didn't care much for Lin Xiao Ru's provoking antics like a jumping clown. She just gave her a cold glance, "Since you know you are pregnant, then quickly explain your intentions and resolve this matter quickly so I can go back to rest."

Lin Xiaoru twisted her face and snorted coldly, "I'm looking for Mr. Gu, I don't want to idle people here."

Gu Chi's face flashed with anger again, but Su Keqin didn't want to argue anymore, so she主動ly said: "Well, I'll go back to rest first."

As she said this, she also couldn't be bothered to look at Lin Xiaoru any longer and went back to her room.

As soon as Su Ke Xin left, Gu Chi's last trace of warmth disappeared from his face. He looked at Lin Xiao Ru with disgust, "What are you here for"

"With the recent economic downturn, I'm short on cash. Could you lend me some" Lin Xiaoru said bluntly.

"Need money again" Yang Zu couldn't help but complain.out of the palanquin, took the baby in her arms, and walked forward. 。While Gu Chi quietly paid the bill at the back, he then followed them. 。Because Cheng Kexin had just started running a few steps,...
