"Get her pajamas, prepare a bath!" Yan Che's words pierced the night, his arm wrapped possessively around Lin Wei, whose sobs filled the room. Jian Xi, his wife, stood frozen in her nightgown, her heart splintering. "Tonight, Wei Wei sleeps here. You take the guest room."
A bitter smile touched Jian Xi’s lips. "Lin Wei, everything in this house – if you want it, it’s yours. Including my husband." Yan Che scoffed, calling her petty. But it wasn't pettiness. It was a shattering realization. "I don't want it anymore," she whispered, turning to leave, a wave of dizziness washing over her. She stumbled on the grand staircase, clutching her abdomen. *My baby...*
Years flashed through her mind: Yan Che’s feigned tenderness after her parents’ death, the stock transfer agreement he’d subtly coerced her into signing, all to gain her family’s shares. He never loved her; she was merely a means to an end, a stepping stone to become the Pei family heir.
Now, in the opulent living room, her husband paraded his mistress, telling his grandfather Jian Xi wasn't welcome. Jian Xi, no longer fragile, met his gaze. "The Pei family’s threshold… when did it get so low? For a woman without shame?" Lin Wei gasped. "She's my only wife!" Yan Che declared, glaring at Jian Xi.
Jian Xi, her hand trembling, splashed her tea in his face. "Big brother," a cool, amused voice drawled from behind Yan Che – his cunning younger brother, Pei Ming Chuan. "You took her shares, and now you deny her dignity? That's a clever calculation, but I think it's time for a different kind of balance."
