Everyone was confused, not knowing why Li Qin went to the living room. Even if she were packing, she should have gone back to the bedroom.
The next second, Li Qin cleared up their doubts.
Li Qin held a fruit knife to her throat.
Seeing Fu Yan Ting, Li Qin's eyes were filled with hatred.
It was all Fu Yan Ting's fault; otherwise, she wouldn't have to do this.
She hadn't actually intended to die, only to scare Fu Yan Ting, nothing more.
Li Qin looked at Fu Yan Ting and said fiercely, "Let's see who dares to drive us out. This is the old Fu family manor, not Fu Yan Ting's private residence. We are also part of the Fu family. Why shouldn't we be allowed to live here?"
Fu Juan was truly terrified.
She was a girl, and Fu Wen Hai favored sons over daughters. Moreover, she wasn't even Fu Wen Hai's biological daughter. She worried that if Li Qin really committed suicide, her life in the Fu family would become even more difficult.
Fu Juan's legs turned to jelly on the spot. She directly knelt on the ground, looked at Li Qin, and cried heartbrokenly, begging, "Mom, we'll still have a place to live if we leave the old manor. Please, don't do anything foolish."
Li Qin had expected Fu Juan to plead with Fu Yan Ting and say something nice. She never imagined that Fu Juan's first words would make Li Qin want to die.
How could she have given birth to such a useless child?
Li Qin couldn't be bothered with Fu Juan.
Fu Juan spoke again, "Fu Yan Ting, please persuade my mom not to do anything foolish. I'll go back to my room and pack my bags right now, and we'll move out immediately."
Li Qin truly felt that Fu Juan was beyond hope.
Fu Hao was frivolous and unrestrained, but that was because he was pampered by the Fu family. But Fu Juan, had she lost her mind? Not only was she not helping her, but she was also dragging her down.
Li Qin's objective in doing this was to soften Fu Yan Ting's heart and get them to stay in the old manor. But Fu Juan's actions had undoubtedly pushed them to a dead end.
Li Qin glared furiously at Fu Juan, but Fu Juan seemed oblivious.
Fu Juan pleaded, "Mom, it's okay, we don't have to live here, we can just move out."
"Shut up!"
Li Qin had reached her limit and roared.
Fu Juan, startled, quickly shut her mouth.
Li Qin looked at Fu Yan Ting and said coldly, "Fu Yan Ting, if you drive us away today, I will die right here."
"Uncle Chen, call the police first. If she really dies, it will be suicide. That way, the police won't have to come here to take statements after she's dead. Even my grandmother couldn't rest in peace after she died."
Uncle Chen was the one who took care of the old madam Mu Qing Xiang at the old manor.
Later, after Mu Qing Xiang passed away, Uncle Chen had offered to resign. Fu Yan Ting knew that Uncle Chen's family situation was difficult; he had two college students, and his wife was frequently hospitalized. He desperately needed this job to support his family.
Therefore, Fu Yan Ting asked Uncle Chen to stay and look after the old manor.
Uncle Chen was naturally grateful to Fu Yan Ting, so he couldn't disobey Fu Yan Ting's orders.
At this moment, upon hearing Fu Yan Ting's words, Uncle Chen looked at Li Qin and, without a word, quickly dialed to report to the police.
Li Qin hadn't expected Fu Yan Ting to be so cold-blooded and heartless.
Fu Yan Ting couldn't be bothered to clean up this mess. He handed over the matters in the front courtyard to Uncle Chen and went to find Yan Xi.
Finally, Fu Yan Ting found Yan Xi in the most secluded room. Yan Xi was already too weak to speak.
Beside Yan Xi was Yong Yong.
Yong Yong was a wolf raised by Fu Yan Ting. This wolf was incredibly human-like.
It would try its best to protect those who were kind to it, but it would devour those who were not.
Fu Juan had wanted Yong Yong to devour Yan Xi, which was why she had locked Yan Xi and Yong Yong in the same room. Thinking of this, Fu Yan Ting's resentment towards Fu Juan grew even stronger.
Fu Yan Ting looked at Yong Yong and gently explained, "Your mother doesn't recognize you yet, so she's scared of you. Be good, don't frighten her."
Yong Yong was very human-like and knew that Yan Xi was kind. Therefore, after Fu Juan locked Yan Xi and Yong Yong together, Yong Yong became unusually excited and approached Yan Xi. When Yan Xi saw Yong Yong's teeth, she recognized it as a wolf, not a dog.
Yan Xi's heart was filled with extreme fear.
This was why she had screamed.
However, after a day, Yan Xi's body hadn't fully recovered, she was already weak, and coupled with the shock, Yan Xi began to scream loudly.
Finally, she became too weak to scream and lay on the bed, listless.
Yong Yong, worried that Yan Xi might get hurt, quietly guarded her side, refusing to leave.
Seeing Yan Xi so weak, Fu Yan Ting's hatred for Fu Juan intensified.
Fu Yan Ting didn't hesitate. He carried Yan Xi to the front courtyard. Seeing Fu Yan Ting carrying Yan Xi out, Uncle Chen asked with concern, "Sir, is Madam alright?"
"She's fine, she was just frightened."
After responding to Uncle Chen, Fu Yan Ting paused, then added, "Uncle Chen, after Fu Wen Hai's family leaves, keep Fu Juan here. Lock her up with Yong Yong."
Uncle Chen knew that Fu Yan Ting wouldn't do such a thing without reason; there must be a rationale behind his actions.
Uncle Chen nodded.
Fu Yan Ting then took Yan Xi to the hospital.
Yan Xi felt extremely unwell now, curled up, her brow furrowed as if enduring pain.
Seeing this, Fu Yan Ting placed Yan Xi on the back seat, letting her lie down, hoping it would be more comfortable.
Fu Yan Ting drove in the front, while Yan Xi lay in the back. Suddenly, liquid flowed from beneath her.
Yan Xi didn't know she was pregnant. She thought she had her period. However, she hadn't brought any pads and didn't want to stain the car, so Yan Xi was still afraid to move much.
But the liquid kept flowing, reaching a point where she couldn't control it.
As the fluid increased, Yan Xi's stomach began to ache.
Yan Xi knew that Fu Yan Ting was taking her to the hospital.
So, she remained silent, enduring the pain.
However, the pain intensified with each passing moment.
Yan Xi's forehead was covered in a fine sheen of sweat.
Yan Xi used to experience menstrual cramps, but she had never felt such intense pain before.
Yan Xi couldn't bear it any longer. She weakly said, "Husband, my stomach hurts."
Yan Xi's voice was so soft that even though Fu Yan Ting was in the same space, he almost didn't hear what Yan Xi said.
After speaking, Yan Xi fainted.
Fu Yan Ting was worried that Yan Xi would have an accident. He was still driving and could only softly coax her, "Xi Xi, be good, bear with it for a moment. We'll be at the hospital soon."
But the only response he received was silence.
