130: Hu Bing had diarrhea at a meeting, and Qi Xueyao bought a pregnancy test stick and was found by Jiang Lei. - The Rich Second-Generation Villain With No Morals
**Whoosh!** Upon hearing Qi Lin's words, Qiu Yuelin's face flushed a deep red. Qi Lin was boldly addressing the nature of their relationship, admitting that it was he who had taken her innocence. "Do not get angry, do not scold him; you must endure and find an opportunity to take revenge on him." "Especially since I have a trump card up my sleeve. Once the child in my belly is born, I will ensure he disciplines Qi Lin properly, calling him a jerk." Suppressing the sadness, grievances, and hatred in her heart, Qiu Yuelin forced a smile: "I thought you wouldn't admit to your actions, but since you call me 'Yuelin Wife' and dare to touch me, I'll forgive what you did that day." "But I must tell you, I am innocent, and since you treated me that way, you need to take responsibility." "Am I not taking responsibility now?" "Linlin Wife, you're so beautiful. If Hu Bing saw your adorable expression now, he'd surely be envious of me." Qi Lin teased, and without further ado, kissed her directly. "Mmm~" There was a trace of anger in Qiu Yuelin's beautiful eyes. This little rascal was too much, kissing her while deliberately mentioning Hu Bing, was he trying to make her feel guiltier? Looking at Qiu Yuelin pretend to go along with him, Qi Lin's dark eyes were filled with an arrogant smile. This girl was truly silly, utterly adorable. He fabricated the story about her innocence being taken, even going so far as to claim she was pregnant. This way, he didn't have to go to the trouble of deceiving her. As long as he firmly grasped onto Qiu Yuelin's desire for revenge, it appeared that she was intentionally accommodating him rather than falling victim to bullying. "Linlin Wife, since the rice is already cooked, I miss you so much. How about we go book a hotel room now?" Qiu Yuelin was dizzy from Qi Lin's kisses. In her foggy state. Qi Lin sat on the seat in front of her office desk, while Qiu Yuelin sat on his lap. Hearing Qi Lin mention going to a hotel room snapped Qiu Yuelin out of her haze slightly, her eyes displaying a hint of panic. Because she was drunk that night, she had no recollection of what happened. Being bullied by Qi Lin once was enough; she truly didn't want to repeat that nightmarish experience. Forcing a smile, she said: "Qi Lin, we got together by accident, and we still don't know each other well enough. I can't accept this kind of married life just yet. Can you give me a little more time?" Qi Lin felt a pang of regret as Qiu Yuelin didn't fall for his ruse this time. However, if he were to actually go through with it, Qiu Yuelin would certainly discover she was still a virgin, making it hard to take advantage of her in the future. And there was a high likelihood she might report him to the police. So he decided to take it slow. The starting point was already favorable for him. Initially, he used photos to blackmail her but couldn’t even get a kiss from this little rich woman, Qiu Yuelin. Now, due to a simple misunderstanding involving the room 537, he could kiss and embrace her freely. This was a swift progress indeed. "Linlin Wife, now that we're a couple, how could you and Hu Bing still be so foolish?" "I don't want to see you being constantly pestered by Hu Bing, or even looking for ways to take advantage of you." Qi Lin feigned anger as he spoke. He needed Qiu Yuelin to hurt Hu Bing, causing them to break up. Upon hearing Qi Lin's words, Qiu Yuelin immediately berated him for his shamelessness. She intended to wait until tomorrow, and Hu Bing had no idea how naive he was. She had been taken away from Hu Bing by Qi Lin, and now Qi Lin was even badmouthing Hu Bing. "I've known Qi Lin and Hu Bing for seven or eight years, and now he's my mentor." "He also has deep feelings for me, and if I tell him, it will be hard for him to accept initially. I plan to slowly find an opportunity to explain to him, but now is not the time." "If it comes to it, I promise you, I'll have no further dealings with him; my hand will only hold yours, and my lips will only kiss you. Can you be reassured by that?" Qiu Yuelin understood that men can be selfish creatures, and for Qi Lin's safety, she had no choice but to say such things. It was indeed an enormous joke. Clearly, Qiu Yuelin resented Qi Lin deeply, but now she had to preserve a virtuous facade for him. But, as she mentioned, she wasn't an aggressive woman. Qi Lin had just taken her innocence, and until she exacted her revenge on Qi Lin and overcame her psychological trauma, she couldn't let any other man touch her. *** After stepping out of Qiu Yuelin's office, Hu Bing felt a strange sensation in his stomach. However, since a meeting was about to start, he didn't give it much thought. But as he approached the conference room door, Hu Bing suddenly blushed, his whole body trembling. He felt a chill in his stomach, a sensation signaling a dire need for the bathroom. "Hu Bing, why are you so late? We're just waiting for one more person to start the meeting. Hurry up and come in!" The vice principal, noticing Hu Bing lingering at the door, expressed displeasure. Faced with the vice principal's reproach, Hu Bing could only endure, clenching his buttocks tightly to resist the urge to rush to the restroom. With Hu Bing's arrival, the meeting formally commenced. Most of the school leaders intended to expel Yu Chen. After all, his issue had already reached the police station, and allowing him to remain at the school would only tarnish its reputation. With the principal currently hospitalized due to a heart attack, the school’s leadership had transitioned to the vice principal. Moreover, it seemed the principal's health was deteriorating, likely signaling his impending retirement. Currently, the vice principal stood a good chance of stepping up to the principal position. Knowing this, Hu Bing had been doing his utmost to ingratiate himself with the vice principal, diligently attending to any task he was assigned. His efforts had paid off, and the vice principal now regarded Hu Bing as a trusted confidant. He even intended to promote Hu Bing at this very meeting to the position of director of the original education department. Listening to everyone's opinions, the vice principal gave Hu Bing a smile and said, “Hu Bing, what are your thoughts on this matter, since you were the one who discovered the problem with the school's textbooks being stolen?” Qi Lin had framed Yu Chen, while Hu Bing had unwittingly reaped the benefits as the hero. Previously, Hu Bing would have solemnly expressed his support for the school leadership's work, attributing his achievements to their guidance. But this time, Hu Bing was enduring a unique agony, his words trapped. There was no doubt about the grievances he wished to voice. At this moment, his stomach felt as though a mischievous monkey was wreaking havoc, and all the rivers were turning into seas. His face turned a peculiar shade. "I..." "I appreciate the leadership's trust; I wish to..." "Consider Yu Chen's situation—" Hu Bing was on the brink of madness. He genuinely didn’t want to lose the leadership’s confidence yet again. Gritting his teeth, he painstakingly articulated his suggestion, word by word. But nonetheless, the vice principal cast a dissatisfied glance his way. "Hu Bing, why are you so hesitant in your speech, like a big man who doesn't know how to speak out loud? You looked as if your butt is about to leap out and start twitching." The vice principal reprimanded him sternly. But unknown to him, those final words of his criticism struck at Hu Bing’s Achilles heel. His face crumbled, and he could no longer hold back. The floodgates opened. Miles away. "Splish, splash, splish, splash~" The sound echoed like a faucet being turned on. "A poor, miserable porcupine~" Which strangely enough resonated like the loudest fart. A plethora of yellow, unidentified substances remained on Hu Bing’s legs. In an instant, the whole conference room reeked as if a rat had died beneath the bed a week ago. "Wow!" Hu Bing’s impressive display left every leader in the conference room astonished, staring at him in disbelief. Amazing! Indeed astonishing! Throughout history, Hu Bing was undoubtedly the first person to soil themselves during a meeting. They reconsidered the situation—if they were in Hu Bing's shoes, perhaps they too would shamelessly jump out the window rather than face such disgrace. Particularly the vice principal. Now, he stood there with a face as dark as thunder, engulfed in a stench of feces. Hu Bing had been considered a promising talent, often a focal point of discussion and development at several meetings. How did Hu Bing repay him? By freezing mid-speech?? "Well, congratulations Hu Bing! You really took my advice to heart. When I said excrement comes from the rear end, you actually took it literally and followed through, giving me a real face!” Witnessing the strained but amused expressions of the two vice principals beside him, it seemed like they were snickering at his poor judgement in choosing such a confidant. The vice principal moderating the meeting was losing his mind. "This meeting can't go on, let's call it off!" “Someone come clean this mess up!” The vice principal, fighting back nausea, stood and stormed out of the room, his face a canvas of displeasure. In his mind, Hu Bing was as good as gone. Forget restoring his previous position—if the vice principal worked without constantly putting Hu Bing in impossible situations, he wouldn't be deserving of his title. With the vice principal calling an end to the meeting, the rest of the school leaders swiftly scattered. Some barely made it out before they had to rush to vomit. Hu Bing, though not a high-profile figure at Huashida High School, was certainly known among the teachers. Surely, it wouldn’t take a day before news of his meeting mishap spread amongst all the faculty and students. "Why? Why did the heavens treat me this way?" "Everything was fine just a moment ago; why did my stomach suddenly revolt during the meeting? Who can tell me?” Hu Bing knelt amidst his own filth, tears streaming from his eyes. He could never guess, nor would he ever realize, that his unfortunate incident stemmed from the water Qiu Yuelin offered him. All Hu Bing knew was that he was utterly finished. In the court of public opinion, he was completely ruined. *** "Miss Fang, I want to go out and buy something." By lunchtime, Qi Xueyao could no longer bear it. Sitting in the living room watching TV, she rose and told Fang Yuanyuan. "You silly girl, how many times have I told you? Since you're the daughter-in-law of the Qi family, you should call me 'Mom.' Otherwise, what should I be called, just Aunt Fang?" After the food festival concluded, Fang Yuanyuan had the rare opportunity to take a day off at home. At noon, she prepared a nourishing old hen soup for Qi Xueyao and asked her what she wanted to eat so that she could immediately instruct Aunt Chen to fetch it. She truly treated Qi Xueyao like her own daughter-in-law. "I-I find it embarrassing to call you that," Qi Xueyao murmured softly, biting her lip. Although Fang Yuanyuan treated her kindly now, she couldn't help but feel intimidated by her. "Oh, I see. After all, you haven't married my Lin'er yet, so it's hard to adapt to a new role just like that. Worry not, I won't make it hard for you. Call me whatever you feel comfortable with." "By the way, what did you say just now? Want to head out and buy something?" "You've only rested at home for a few days and you're already thinking of running around. What if you hurt yourself?" "Just tell your Mum what you need, and I'll have Aunt Chen get it for you." Fang Yuanyuan smiled, offering Qi Xueyao a sliced apple. Looking at the apple in front of her, a touch of helplessness crossed Qi Xueyao's pretty face. It was the fifth apple she'd eaten that morning, making her feel like she wouldn't need lunch. Qi Lin had presumably told Fang Yuanyuan that Qi Xueyao might be pregnant. Fang Yuanyuan had heard that eating lots of apples would result in a baby with fair skin, thus she kept offering apples to Qi Xueyao repeatedly. "Actually, I just want to go for a walk. I feel unsettled staying indoors, and I'm afraid I might break down," Qi Xueyao admitted, her beautiful eyes turning slightly red with an unexpected hint of sadness. Fang Yuanyuan sighed upon hearing this. She could guess that this girl's innocence had likely been taken by her own mischievous son. Everyone has someone they care for, and given what's happened, it's perfectly understandable to not want to be cooped up in the house all the time. "Listen to your mother, love is like life. If it can't be refused, perhaps embracing it might lead to the life you've dreamed of?" "Going out for a walk is fine, but promise me you won't do anything foolish. Both your mom and Lin'er are worried about you." Indeed, the apple didn’t fall far from the tree. Fang Yuanyuan was masterfully indoctrinating Qi Xueyao, who had nowhere else to turn. Feeling warmth from Fang Yuanyuan’s concern, Qi Xueyao nodded. Shortly thereafter, under Fang Yuanyuan's watchful eyes, Qi Xueyao left the villa. Her real intention was to purchase a pregnancy test. She knew that pregnancy could only be detected after two weeks, and since she had only been with Qi Lin for a week, how could she be certain? As a naive girl recently robbed of her innocence, wild thoughts easily consumed her mind, causing her to buy in advance, just in case. The scene shifts, turning the perspective to Jiang Lei. Qi Xueyao hadn't been to work for several days, leaving the pressure of training at the learning center all on Jiang Lei. Fortunately, the center had hired a few new teachers. After Jiang Lei dealt with work affairs, he would head out to distribute flyers. After several hours of handing out flyers, Jiang Lei passed by a pharmacy entrance. "Hmm?" After taking a few steps, he halts and backtracks. He spotted a familiar figure in the pharmacy. "Hello, I'd like to purchase a pregnancy test," Qi Xueyao said softly to the pharmacy clerk. Jiang Lei had initially doubted whether the figure was really Qi Xueyao’s but hearing her voice removed his doubts and left him in shock. The shock stemmed from Qi Xueyao buying a pregnancy test. After all, he was the only boyfriend she acknowledged, yet he'd never even held her hand. How could Qi Xueyao be pregnant? What was she doing buying a pregnancy test? Could it be she was with someone else now? The only possibility stirred in Jiang Lei's mind was Qi Lin. He imagined Qi Xueyao had lost her innocence. The thought of Qi Xueyao being pregnant was unbearable—how could Qi Lin sully the woman he adored most? Jiang Lei's whole body went cold, shivers running through him, overwhelmed by intense anger and immense sorrow. After purchasing the pregnancy test, Qi Xueyao turned to leave the pharmacy, but just as she was about to catch a cab home, a voice filled her with alarm. "Xueyao, how long were you planning to keep this from me?" Qi Xueyao's face turned pale. She spotted Jiang Lei leaning alone against the wall, smoking, eyes brimming with unshed tears. Facing Jiang Lei, the pregnancy test slipped from Qi Xueyao's grasp, dropping to the ground. The two acquaintances stood facing each other in silence. And then, Qi Xueyao broke into tears. This time, she wasn't troubled by the task at hand. She was anguished by the thought—if she was destined to be tormented by Qi Lin, why did she have to meet Jiang Lei first? That way, at least one person might have been spared from pain. Yet, she loved him truly; her first love rendered her torn between two men, forcing her to make the harshest choice.
