Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 370: Born to Be Cheated - 1
Chapter 370: Chapter 370: Born to Be Cheated - 1
In this world, a considerable number of people have an endless greed for money.
In their eyes, everything has a price, including risk.
As long as the reward is sufficient, a stroke of luck easily defeats fear.
It’s not just capitalists who will take risks for profit.
Ge Qinghe was no exception.
Xiao Ming didn’t know how she convinced herself, but after about ten minutes of hesitation, the woman picked up the paper on the table and started reading it, memorizing carefully.
Xiao Ming wasn’t in a hurry; he picked up an apple from the fruit plate on the coffee table, glanced at Qingfeng, and suddenly, a small knife appeared in Qingfeng’s hand, which he brought over with slavish eagerness.
Xiao Ming started to peel the apple, and soon he pulled off a long strip of apple skin. Just when it looked like he was about to complete the peel perfectly, his elbow was suddenly bumped, and the skin broke.
"Got fleas on you?" he glared at An Kefang discontentedly, "Keep fidgeting like that, and believe it or not, I’ll have Qingfeng strip you and scratch the itch myself."
An Kefang immediately hugged her chest, "Why should he strip, and you scratch?"
The fact that she could ask such a question showed just how peculiar her thought process was.
"You want Qingfeng to scratch you?"
"Of course not."
"So you want me to strip your clothes then!"
"No... Ah! None of you are allowed to strip my clothes, nor to scratch me!"
"Congratulations, you’ve finally caught on. Let’s give you a round of applause."
Xiao Ming took a big bite of the apple, his face full of contempt.
An Kefang’s face turned red, and after hesitating for a moment, she said with a frown, "Can I ask one question? Just one."
"I have a feeling that you’ll either die of curiosity or from frustration of not getting answers to your curiosity," said Xiao Ming with a sigh of resignation, "Ask."
An Kefang giggled and asked, "What’s the relationship between this Ge Qinghe and that sculpture stall owner we met before?"
"Father and daughter," Xiao Ming responded crisply.
"I knew it!"
An Kefang’s eyes sparkled, her face full of pride in her own intelligence.
Xiao Ming gave her a pitying glance, worrying internally: This kid is done for, born to be deceived.
At that moment, Ge Qinghe spoke up, "Mr. Xiao, I’m ready."
"Wow!" Xiao Ming looked at his watch and praised, "Not even four minutes have passed, you have a pretty quick mind!"
Ge Qinghe awkwardly tugged at the corner of her mouth.
Next, Qingfeng took out her ID card from her bag and handed it to her. Then, holding a digital camera, he counted down "three, two, one," and shouted "start."
Ge Qinghe’s expression instantly turned mournful, her eyes brimming with tears. She held up her ID card and choked out, "Hello everyone, my name is Ge Qinghe, and I’m from Yahe County, Qingyang City.
I would like to report Lin Jingyou of the provincial city.
To possess me, he had people beat up my father and brother.
I had no one to turn to and couldn’t bear to see my family hurt any more, so I agreed with resentment to be kept by him.
For two years, under Lin Jingyou’s beastly assault, I was isolated from the world, living a life worse than death. Yet, I had to keep up a brave face, not daring to show any signs of distress, only able to wash my face with tears when alone at night.
But what I didn’t expect was that my compliance didn’t ensure my family’s safety.
By chance, I met an acquaintance from my hometown and then learned that my father’s legs had become paralyzed and my elder brother’s mind had been damaged so severely that he now had the mental capacity of an eight-year-old.
The worst part is that because my father never gave up looking for me, Lin Jingyou actually had people kidnap my youngest brother, who has been missing ever since.
He was a child not even three years old! Because of this, my mother couldn’t withstand the blow and is now mentally unstable.
Lin Jingyou... he’s not a human, he’s a beast, no, worse than a beast..."
Ge Qinghe indeed knew how to act. By this point, she was sobbing uncontrollably.
Xiao Ming was just about to nod in approval when he felt something amiss beside him. He turned his head and was instantly taken aback.
There sat An Kefang, face awash with tears, blowing bubbles with her snot, as if everything that Ge Qinghe had said had happened to her.
"I mean..."
An Kefang intended to apologize for her uncontrollable tears, but Xiao Ming covered her mouth with his hand, his eyes warning her to stay silent.
"...I’ve given two years of my youth and my body, groveling like a dog, only to end up with a destroyed family."
Ge Qinghe continued through tears, "Why? Just because of his power, is there no justice in this world?
I won’t stand for it! Nor do I believe it!
I will not endure it anymore!
I swear that every word I’ve just said is true, and I’m willing to accept any investigation.
Next, I will play a few videos that I secretly recorded at my residence. I sincerely ask everyone to help spread this, to help my family and me get justice. Thank you all!
Last but not least, please remember, I will never, ever commit suicide. If anything untoward happens to me in the future, it will definitely be related to this video!"
After the shooting ended, Qingfeng played the video once to make sure there were no problems, then removed the camera’s memory card.
"Mr. Xiao," Ge Qinghe asked, "what are you guys going to do next? Are you really going to post this video online?"
Xiao Ming had already stood up and gave her a slight smile, "Hard to say, it depends on the situation.
The two million is yours now, just remember to withdraw the money soon."
"Miss Ge, don’t worry, we will definitely get justice for you!"
Just before leaving, An Kefang, with tears streaming down her face, earnestly promised Ge Qinghe. She didn’t notice the extremely strange expression on Ge Qinghe’s face.
