The Tycoon's Mysterious Darling Wife-Chapter 499 - 502. Deserved Punishment (14 Updates)

Ding Minghui ultimately did not sign the divorce agreement. He knew that the person Ning Ke cared about the most was Ning Xiuji, and Ning Xiuji’s background was a secret and a leverage. Now that he had this leverage in his hands, Ning Ke wouldn’t dare to really do anything to him. Leaving without a penny? Simply a joke.

Ding Minghui didn’t sign the agreement, but Ning Ke wasn’t in a hurry. She had her lawyer submit a divorce application to the court directly. Originally, if it weren’t for the incident with Tong Yushi, Ning Ke wouldn’t have planned to divorce so quickly. After all, her divorce would cause turmoil in the company’s stock prices. But recent events had proven that Ding Minghui was a ticking time bomb. Keeping him around would lead to endless troubles.

At this moment, Ning Ke also regretted not having seen Ding Minghui’s true colors when she had chosen him to play a role in her ploy. Along with this regret rose a hatred for the man who had abandoned her and her child, the cowardly man. If she ever saw him, she definitely wouldn’t let him off.

When Ding Minghui learned that Ning Ke had really filed for divorce in court, he panicked and barged into Ning Ke’s room without knocking. Ning Ke was changing clothes, and he just rushed in. She quickly grabbed a robe from nearby and put it on, her expression turning cold, "Who allowed you into my room?"

At this point, Ding Minghui couldn’t care less, staring intensely at Ning Ke, "You actually really filed for a divorce!" Did she value her son and her company the most? How could this benefit her by doing so now?

For Ning Ke, divorcing Ding Minghui now could avoid greater loss and hidden dangers in the future.

Ning Ke raised an eyebrow, "Do I look like I’m joking with you? Ding Minghui, even if you sign the divorce papers now, it’s too late." This time, she was determined to leave Ding Minghui with nothing. To think he could use her son to threaten her and also want money, such cheap behavior doesn’t exist in this world.

"Are you really not afraid that I will expose Ning Xiuji’s background to the public?"

"If you want to roll out of Beijing with your parents and sister disgraced, never able to set foot in Beijing again, just try it." Ning Ke was unafraid of his threats.

Ding Minghui’s expression was frustrated, "Ning Ke, don’t push me too far. If you push me too far, I’m capable of doing anything." A cornered dog will leap over a wall, let alone a human.

Ning Ke’s expression was indifferent, "If you came just to threaten me, then please leave. I need to rest."

Ding Minghui stared at Ning Ke’s indifferent face, rage bubbling up inside him, and suddenly he lunged forward, pinning Ning Ke onto the bed, "If that’s the case, then let’s fulfill our marital duties."

Ning Ke’s expression turned icy, yet she did not panic, "Ding Minghui, you dare!"

"What wouldn’t I dare? Since you’re divorcing me anyway and leaving me with nothing, wouldn’t I be able to get neither the money nor the person?" Over these three years, they had been sleeping in separate rooms. Ning Ke had never let him touch her.

Ning Ke struggled desperately, but her strength was no match for Ding Minghui, "Ding Minghui, I warn you, if you dare touch me, I’ll kill you."

"If you have the guts, kill me. We might as well die together, I’ve got nothing to lose anyway."

The tie of the robe was pulled open by Ding Minghui, revealing a large expanse of Ning Ke’s fair skin. In a panic, Ning Ke kicked fiercely at Ding Minghui’s vulnerable spot. Pain whitened Ding Minghui’s face, and he immediately knelt on the bed unable to move. Ning Ke quickly tied her robe and ran out.

Ning Ke ran to her son’s room, locked the door from the inside, and slept hugging her son. Her thoughts were no longer just about leaving Ding Minghui with nothing.

The next day, when she woke up, Ding Minghui was not at home. Ning Ke called her lawyer, asking him to expedite the divorce proceedings.

On the third day, Ding Minghui was unwilling to divorce, but the court’s decision came quickly. Since their marriage had been one of convenience and they had been separated since the day they got married, the court even skipped the mediation and issued the decree directly. The speedy verdict was, no doubt, influenced by Ning Ke’s connections.

And with Ding Minghui proven to have committed adultery during the marriage, he was determined to be the party at fault and was left with nothing, just as Ning Ke had said. The most compelling evidence was the child in Tong Yushi’s belly and the paternity test report with Ding Minghui.

Tong Yushi had been planning to talk to Ning Ke in a few days, but instead, she received news of Ding Minghui and Ning Ke’s divorce.

Just as she was unsure of what to do, Ding Minghui showed up at her door.

"Open the door, Tong Yushi, open the door for me. I know you’re inside, hurry up and open it." Ding Minghui banged on the door loudly.

Hearing the noise outside, Tong Yushi knew it was Ding Minghui and did not want to open the door, but given Ding Minghui’s commotion was too loud, continuing could alert the neighbors above and below. With no other choice, Tong Yushi had to let Ding Minghui in.

Ding Minghui looked at Tong Yushi as if he wanted to kill, "This is all your fine work. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be left with nothing now. Are you satisfied now? 20 million, in your dreams! Now you won’t even get two cents, and even though I’ve slept with you, it’s all for nothing."

At that moment, Ding Minghui’s eyes were bloodshot, and he looked maniacal, causing Tong Yushi’s heart to tighten. She stepped back repeatedly and watched him warily, "Don’t come any closer, if you do, I’ll call the police."

Ding Minghui gave a cruel smile and slowly walked towards Tong Yushi, "Go ahead and call. I’d like the police to see just how promiscuous you are."

The result of losing everything had been unbearable for Ding Minghui. Unable to find Ning Ke, he had no choice but to seek out Tong Yushi, especially since if it weren’t for the paternity test report in her hands, he could have denied his infidelity during his marriage.

Tong Yushi kept retreating until she backed into a corner, "What do you want to do?"

"You guess."

"Ding Minghui, let me tell you, I’m pregnant now, and carrying your child?"

Ding Minghui glanced at her protruding belly, "My child? Who knows whose it is? Oh right, you didn’t mention, I should actually be thanking the child in your belly. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have lost everything so quickly. I want to ask you, what did Ning Ke give you to pass the paternity report to her?"

Tong Yushi pursed her lips. Could she say she hadn’t given the paternity test report to Ning Ke? She had no idea how Ning Ke got hold of the paternity test report. She wasn’t foolish; there was no benefit to her in Ding Minghui’s divorce.

"You damned fool, you’ve doomed me to such misery, tell me, what should I do with you?" Ding Minghui’s voice was soft but sent shivers of fear through Tong Yushi.

Ning Ke had been ruthless, not only making Ding Minghui lose everything but also reclaiming the house of his parents and sister. Now their family was in utter chaos.

"It’s not my business," Tong Yushi said. "I didn’t give her the report, really. Think about it, I wanted some compensation from her, why would I give her the report? So, it really has nothing to do with me."

Ding Minghui shrugged, "It doesn’t matter anymore, whether you gave it to her or not, you’re indelibly linked to this. If you hadn’t gone to her, she wouldn’t even know of your existence, nor about the paternity report."

In the end, it all came down to this woman’s greed. Since she was the primary culprit, she would have to join him in hell.

"Ding Minghui, don’t come any closer," Tong Yushi cried out, her expression panic-stricken, as Ding Minghui was clearly not in his right mind.

"You want money, right? I don’t have money, but I am still here, do you want me?" Ding Minghui’s expression suddenly turned ambiguous, causing Tong Yushi’s heart to tremble fiercely as she shook her head desperately.

"I don’t want anything, please leave, I won’t ever come looking for you again, I promise," she was genuinely terrified, the man before her too frightening in his current state.

Ding Minghui grabbed Tong Yushi by the throat, the ambiguity in his eyes swiftly replaced by ferocity, "When you first came to bother me, did you ever think not to stir things up to this point? Now you admit your mistake and ask me to let you go? Where in the world do things come that cheap, you foolish woman?"

Tong Yushi slapped at Ding Minghui’s arm, "Let... let go!"

Ding Minghui dragged Tong Yushi onto a couch. Without daring to struggle too violently, she sat down according to his force and defensively crossed her arms over her chest, "What do you want to do?"

Ding Minghui looked at her defensive posture and scoffed, "What do you think I’m going to do to you? Looking at you now, I can’t even bear to glance at you more than once."

These days, Tong Yushi looked haggard, going sleepless night after night, combined with her shabby appearance, she really did look quite disheveled—as if no man would desire her.

"I’ll explain to Ning Ke that the child isn’t yours, that I made it up to get your money. Will that do?" Tong Yushi looked at Ding Minghui hopefully, hoping he would let her go and leave here.

"Tong Yushi, do you think everyone else in the world is a fool?" Ding Minghui sneered, staring at her belly he softly touched it.

His touch was slow, almost tender, but Tong Yushi felt as if a venomous snake were creeping slowly over her abdomen, hissing with a bloody tongue.

"The child is still moving, does he know I’m his daddy, greeting me?" Ding Minghui’s voice was gentle, "Ah, what a good child; I will certainly cherish you once you’re born."

Tong Yushi suddenly widened her eyes, what did his words mean? "I won’t give birth, I’m not having the baby now, I’ll terminate the pregnancy tomorrow."

The tenderness on Ding Minghui’s face vanished instantly, he stared fixedly at Tong Yushi, his eyes a dark abyss, "Why won’t you have it?"

"It’s a mistake; it shouldn’t have come into this world." Tong Yushi shook her head. If there had been any hesitation before, it had now been scared away by Ding Minghui.

Ding Minghui stared at her coldly, gripping her chin. "Not give birth? Didn’t want to have the baby? Then why didn’t you abort it when you first found out, and now that the child is so big, you say you don’t want to? Is it because it was a mistake, or because it’s not Li Bomming’s?"

Tong Yushi was filled with shock. "You..."

"Want to ask how I knew about Li Bomming?"

Tong Yun really wanted to know how Ding Minghui found out about Li Bomming.

It was quite coincidental. That night, while Ding Minghui and Tong Yushi were together, she kept calling out Li Bomming’s name. At that time, Ding Minghui thought it was just someone with the same name and didn’t think much of it. Since it was a fleeting fling, he didn’t take it to heart until Tong Yushi appeared in front of him pregnant and even disrupted Ning Ke’s marriage to him.

Originally, Ding Minghui did not connect Tong Yushi with Li Bomming, but just yesterday, someone sent him an email revealing the relationship between Li Bomming and Tong Yushi.

If asked who Ding Minghui hated most in this world, Li Bomming would definitely be at the top of the list. If it hadn’t been for Li Bomming, he might even have had a chance to reconcile with Fang Tong, but it was this man who took away the woman he loved the most. Now, this man’s admirer disrupted his family as well, adding new grievances to old ones. Ding Minghui wanted to kill Li Bomming. He didn’t understand what was wrong with the women in this world. Why was everyone attracted to him? Fang Tong was like that, and so was the woman before him.

Was it just because Li Bomming looked a bit better or had more money?

"Admiring Li Bomming, wanting to be with him forever, you seduced him planning to use a child to tie him down, but mistakenly ended up in my bed. Finding yourself pregnant, you were ecstatic, thinking you could use the child to make Li Bomming marry you, only to find out the child wasn’t his, so you thought of aborting it. But before doing so, you couldn’t bear to let it go to waste, so you thought of using it to gain some advantages for yourself," Ding Minghui said softly, deliberately not rushing.

Tong Yushi’s face went pale as he pinpointed her thoughts, but she still denied it. "No, it’s not like that."

Ding Minghui smiled, a gentle smile, "No? Then what is it? Tell me where I went wrong, and I’ll correct it." He didn’t care about the child in Tong Yushi’s stomach, nor did it matter if it was his; however, after learning about their relation, Ding Minghui changed his mind.

The look in Ding Minghui’s eyes as he gazed at Tong Yushi’s stomach carried a peculiar glint.

"What do you want to do?" Tong Yushi asked fearfully.

Ding Minghui gently touched her face, his tone tender, "Be good, give birth to this child, and as long as you give birth to this child, I will help you get Li Bomming."

Tong Yushi shook her head, "I don’t want to."

"How come? Don’t you want Li Bomming anymore? Aren’t you the one who loves him most? You did so much for him, only to end up with nothing. Aren’t you willing to see him pampering another woman, cherishing her, while disregarding you?"

Tong Yushi felt unwilling, but what could her unwillingness do? Li Bomming already knew about her affair with other men, even carrying someone else’s child. Under such circumstances, even if he and Fang Tong broke up, he would not want to be with her. Thinking about this, Tong Yushi felt nauseous.

Seeing Tong Yushi shaking her head in disagreement, Ding Minghui slapped her across the face. "Ungrateful! Let me tell you, you have to give birth to this child, whether you want to or not."

"You claimed this child wasn’t yours, didn’t you?" Tong Yushi covered her face, challenging him.

"I acknowledge it now. Since it’s my child, it should be born."

Tong Yushi didn’t believe that Ding Minghui truly acknowledged the child in her stomach as his. Seeing his crazed demeanor, she was certain there was a conspiracy.

What Ding Minghui was planning, Tong Yushi did not know. She only knew that for the sake of the child in her stomach and for her own good, she couldn’t keep the child. But now, with Ding Minghui staring intently at her, it seemed if she didn’t agree, he would be ruthless.

Having no other choice, Tong Yushi reluctantly nodded, "I understand, I’ll give birth."

Ding Minghui patted her face, "That’s a good girl." He stood up from the couch, seemingly about to make a phone call. Tong Yushi seized the moment, sprinting towards the door. She would go and abort the child now.

Ding Minghui, seeing this, chased after her.

Tong Yushi had already opened the door and then closed it behind her. She pressed the elevator button, but the elevator was slow to open. Seeing that Ding Minghui was about to come out the door and chase after her, Tong Yushi decided to take the stairs. Just as she ran to the stairwell entrance, Ding Minghui caught up with her.

Ding Minghui grabbed her arm, "Where do you think you are going, go back inside and stay put."

Tong Yushi slapped Ding Minghui’s hand away, "I won’t go back, I want to go to the hospital, let me go."

Ding Minghui didn’t let go and was pulling Tong Yushi back when she struggled fiercely. Suddenly, her foot slipped, and her whole body fell backward. Ding Minghui failed to grasp her tightly and watched helplessly as Tong Yushi tumbled down the stairs.

Tong Yushi’s belly slammed hard against the ground. She felt a heart-piercing pain in her abdomen, and a warm flow came from between her legs. Ding Minghui stood above, staring at the blood under Tong Yushi and panicked immediately, hurriedly whipping out his phone to dial 120.

Tong Yushi lost her child. He was lost, brutally, through a fall from those high stairs.

When the doctor removed the stillborn from her belly, Tong Yushi opened her eyes to see the bloody child, already well-formed. It was a boy.

Tears instantly fell from Tong Yushi’s eyes. Although she had wanted to let this child go, when the child truly left her body, her heart could not help but flood with sorrow.

It was because of Ding Minghui’s pushing that Tong Yushi fell down the stairs. Therefore, when Tong Yushi awoke, she filed a lawsuit against Ding Minghui in court, accusing him of intentional injury and rape.

Tong Yushi knew she was alone and in such a situation, suing Ding Minghui for rape was likely to end in a loss. So, before her body had fully recovered, she forced herself out of the hospital and sought Ning Ke’s help. She needed Ning Ke’s help to make Ding Minghui pay.

Ning Ke looked at the woman who appeared before her and waited for her to state her purpose. After listening to Tong Yushi’s words, she opened her mouth, "What makes you think I would help you?"

Having just miscarried, Tong Yushi’s face was devoid of any color. Losing the child had inflicted colossal physical trauma; the doctors had already deemed her constitution weak, and the induced miscarriage potentially damaging to the mother herself. Additionally, her fall down the stairs had confirmed the doctors’ initial concerns; she would never be a mother again, from here on out.

Tong Yushi hated Ding Minghui so passionately she wished she could grind his bones to dust, "I can help you get rid of the trouble that is Ding Minghui."

Ning Ke raised an eyebrow, and Tong Yushi continued, "Although Ding Minghui is now your ex-husband, as long as he’s alive, he can come looking for you, continuing to harass you. Plus, he might hold your secrets in his hands; if he decides to reveal them, it won’t be good for you. If I could get him imprisoned, then he won’t be able to bother you in the future, and I can take my revenge. Two birds with one stone, right?"

Ning Ke’s fingers tapped lightly on the table, seemingly considering Tong Yushi’s proposition, "What do you want me to do for you?" If the price is right, it might be feasible.

"I don’t want your money; I just need you to provide me with the best lawyer to help me win this case."

After a long pause, Ning Ke finally spoke softly, "Okay, I accept your terms. The lawyer will contact you tomorrow."

Tong Yushi breathed a sigh of relief and slowly walked out of Ning Ke’s office.

True to her word, Ning Ke had the lawyer approach Tong Yushi the next day. They discussed the details of the case. Regarding the rape, it actually lacked certain persuasiveness, since Tong Yushi had mistakenly entered the room that night and had initiated relations with Ding Minghui, saying it was rape was too far of a stretch. However, the fact that Tong Yushi miscarried and became infertile due to Ding Minghui’s act of pushing her down the stairs was indubitable, and he couldn’t escape the charge of intentional injury.

"Can’t you get him a heavier sentence?" Tong Yushi, listening to the lawyer’s analysis and feeling dismayed, said. Three to five years was too lenient for Ding Minghui.

"That’s the maximum we can strive for, as this can also be characterized as involuntary manslaughter," the lawyer said. Knowing there was truly no other way, Tong Yushi could only agree.

"Did Ding Minghui go to prison?" Yu Xiaoxuan looked at the newspaper headline with some surprise. Shen Qinglan glanced at the paper, and although it didn’t specifically name names, they both knew who it was about.

"But that’s for the best. This way, he can no longer bother Fang Tong," said Yu Xiaoxuan. "It’s just a pity that the woman didn’t go to prison with Ding Minghui. Given that her child was lost, why didn’t she fight Ding Minghui to the death?" It would have been best if they both ended up harming each other, landing in prison for intentional injury for a few years. That would give Fang Tong some peace.

"Fang Tong, you better avoid going out much during this time," Shen Qinglan advised, to prevent Tong Yushi from doing something drastic to harm Fang Tong, as a woman driven to desperation could do anything.

Moreover, Shen Qinglan knew more than Yu Xiaoxuan and the others; she was aware that Tong Yushi could never be a mother in her lifetime. With Fang Tong due to give birth soon, it was best to be cautious.

Fang Tong nodded, "I’ll be admitted to the hospital in a few days, and my mom will be there to take care of me. Bo Ming has also hired a nanny, so there won’t be any issues."
