Ji Xinxin stood there in the room, her hands and feet were icy cold. There was also pain spreading through her mid region.
This cannot be. Li Xiaoxing does not plan to let me stay by his side.
I cannot just sit here and do nothing.
She quickly broke out of her reverie and grabbed her phone from the cabinet beside. With shaky hands, she dialed a number.
The first person she tried to call was Bai Zhou. Thankfully, the call connected on her first try.
“Zhouzhou, help me…” Ji Xinxin suppressed her sobs and begged for help in a soft whisper, “I have been confined by Li Xiaoxing. I know you must have a way to help me escape from here…”
Bai Zhou asked, “Why didn’t you call the police?”
Ji Xinxin replied incoherently, “I don’t dare to! I… I’m carrying his child but he doesn’t want me. I-I need to protect my child…”
She bit down hard on her lip. She had never expected herself to be in such a wretched situation.
Not long ago, she was still feeling humiliated about a small matter like having to be treated as Ji Fanyin’s stand-in by Li Xiaoxing.
There was a long pause on the phone before Bai Zhou replied, “I am currently in Yandu, I cannot help you.”
“But your social network is so wide! With some money, I’m sure you can hire some people to break me out of the hospital, right?” Ji Xinxin begged, “I also need a place to hide, can I stay at the condo you previously lived in?”
Once again, there was a pause on the other end before Bai Zhou’s voice sounded, “I have sold all the assets under my name.”
Ji Xinxin’s first reaction was that the Bai Family was also going bankrupt, just like how her parents had been fervently selling all their valuable assets to raise money.
However, what came next overturned her thinking.
Bai Zhou: “I am preparing to give all the returns from the sales to Ji Fanyin.”
Ji Xinxin dug her nails into her palms. She asked incredulously, “Haven’t you already given her enough?”
“No matter how much money I give her, it will never be enough to right the humiliation I had inflicted on her.”
“... Zhouzhou, have you chosen to betray me too and fallen in love with her?” Ji Xinxin asked softly.
But before Bai Zhou could answer, Ji Xinxin ended the call. She could no longer take the possible impact of Bai Zhou’s answer.
Once again, she scrolled through her call logs. Finally, her finger stopped on a number in her blacklist.
… Cen Xiangyang.
