As long as Lin Ya was willing, Mu Donglin didnt have to die.

However, Lin Kerou never thought that if Lin Ya had wanted Mu Donglin to live, he wouldnt have pushed him deeper into the abyss while he was in jail.

As long as Mu Donglin lived, Lin Yas career would definitely be affected.

To him, a mere Mu Donglin was not worth the sacrifice.

Lin Ya looked at his sister, who was kneeling at the bottom of the winding stairs, with deep sympathy in his eyes. He said in his usual calm voice, My silly sister, Mu Donglin is your husband. If I could save him, of course I would, but Im sorry, Im unable to.

Lin Kerou lifted her gaze to meet his.

Lin Ya couldnt hide the regret in his eyes, but if there were any sadness, it was not evident.

On the contrary, Lin Kerou did not know if it was an illusion, that she detected some relief in his attitude.

Yes, relief.

It was as if he had gotten rid of an annoying pest, as if after getting rid of Mu Donglin, he couldnt hide the pleasure he felt.

Although she was prepared for this, disappointment struck her like a bolt of lightning nevertheless.

Still kneeling on the ground, Lin Kerou stared at Lin Ya in a daze, not knowing how she should react.

Things had changed.

Everything had changed.

Since that was the case, then she had no other options.

The night was dark and the wind was howling as the cogs of fate quietly turned in the background.

In a daze, Lin Kerou walked out of the house that she had lived in for more than twenty years. She picked up her phone and dialed a number with trembling hands.

The call was quickly answered by a female voice. Hello.

It had been a long time since they last spoke, and her voice was tender and suggestive. It was very alluring in the middle of the night.

When Lin Kerou heard this voice, her tears fell. She called out her name in a remorseful voice, Meng Meng.

When Li Meng heard this voice, she paused and subconsciously turned to look at the sleeping woman behind her.

The woman with the buzz cut raised her eyebrow and leaned close to her ear. Who is it?

A former classmate. Li Mengs voice was reassuring. She then spoke into the phone, Whats the matter?

Lin Kerou was taken aback by this introduction.

They were best friends. Since when had Li Meng started to refer to her as just a former classmate?

Li Meng got a little impatient with the silence and said, If theres nothing else, Im hanging up.

Wait, Meng Meng. Lin Kerous voice was nasal and her words were muffled. Are you free now? I need to talk to you.

Im not free. Li Meng sneered. Just say what you need to. Im not interested in meeting you.

Meng Meng, Im pregnant. I really dont know what to do now

Li Mengs expression stiffened. What has your pregnancy got to do with me? Its not as if I got you pregnant.

Brother Donglins matter has blown up. Im quite sure you know about it. Lin Kerous voice was choked with tears. Meng Meng, I know youve been working with Mu Xichen closely in the recent times. Im begging for your help.

I not able to help you.

You cant but Mu Xichen can. Lin Kerou spoke like she had found a life-saving straw. He will help me. If youd help me contact him, he will definitely help me!
