Chapter 241: Relentless
Even Li Jinzhi, when she first saw Song Chongjin, had her heart flutter with spring feelings, but after Song Chongjin got engaged to Wang Yongzhu and knowing that the Song Family was like a pit of fire, she knew she couldn’t bear hardship or tolerate mistreatment, so she quickly snuffed out that thought and hooked up with He Dawei instead.
Since she came to the town, she’s been constantly battling with He Dawei’s mother, that old devout woman. She didn’t know if it was out of anger or what, but her pregnancy didn’t go well.
What’s more terrifying is that three months into the pregnancy, her belly swelled up like it was inflated, her complexion turned yellowish-black, and spots appeared on her cheekbones and cheeks.
She had to apply thick makeup every day just to barely cover it up. Over time, her face became more and more unviewable; without the makeup, she dared not step outside.
That bastard He Dawei, back when she was a fresh and pretty girl, clung to her like a dog to a bone, impossible to shoo away. Now, though she was bearing his child, she was no longer as beautiful as before and couldn’t attend to him. With the town full of brazenly dolled-up temptresses, they lured He Dawei out day and night.
Because of this, the old devout woman spared no effort to belittle her, saying that He Dawei didn’t want her anymore and would drive her out once the child was born. She also cursed her for being shameless, staying at the He Family without a proper status, spewing as many ugly words as she could think of.
In the past, He Dawei would take her side, but now he grew increasingly impatient with her.
Li Jinzhi knew she had nowhere to go; He Dawei was her only lifeline, her only hope. No matter what, she absolutely couldn’t let go.
Lately, she stopped fighting with the old devout woman and just focused on keeping a tight watch on He Dawei, not allowing those flirty foxes to spirit him away.
