CHAPTER 562: CHAPTER 557: ANOTHER SCHEME

Xu He certainly knew what Zhou Yunmei meant by her question; it was nothing but her disgust for Xu He having been defiled and now no longer pure.

But outwardly, she pretended to be nonchalant, "What do you mean what to do? Just go home as if nothing ever happened. As long as you don’t tell Zhiming, there won’t be any issues."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yunmei was so furious she almost hit Xu He again, but she was too physically exhausted to fight once more, and instead pointed at Xu He, cursing vehemently, "How can you be so shameless? You’ve already put a green hat on our family’s Zhiming, and you still dare to say to act as if nothing happened?"

Xu He sneered, with a look of contempt, "Is it the first time for your Luo Zhiming to wear a green hat? Didn’t he wear one before when he was with Fang Xiu?"

Seeing Zhou Yunmei’s eyes bulging with anger, about to lose her temper, Xu He immediately switched to a pitiful look and said, "Besides, can this even count as putting a green hat on him? Wasn’t I taken advantage of for the sake of his reputation? I’m the one who’s suffered; I haven’t come demanding life or death from the Luo Family, which should count as me being forgiving enough."

"You..." Zhou Yunmei was so infuriated by Xu He’s words that she couldn’t utter a single sentence for a while. After some time had passed, she finally gritted her teeth and cursed, "Xu He, I’ve seen shameless people before, but never anyone as utterly shameless as you."

"So what do you want then?" Xu He asked, rolling her eyes impatiently, while her mind raced with thoughts of how to smoothly gloss over the matter.

Otherwise, even if a divorce wasn’t to happen, her days in the Luo Family would be difficult.

To be honest, she herself knew that although she was smart and beautiful, the reason she could act arrogantly within the Luo Family wasn’t due to her cleverness, but because Luo Zhiming doted on her, obeyed her every word, and Zhou Yunmei doted on Luo Zhi, so no matter the trouble she caused, it didn’t matter.

Once Luo Zhiming ceased to care about her, her fate would be the same as Fang Xiu’s before—forced to be compliant and humble.

If she really had to live like that, she’d rather die.

Die?

This word suddenly sparked an idea in Xu He’s mind, and after thinking it over for a while, she came up with a plan to deal with the situation, feeling a wave of secret delight.

Her lips curved slightly, and then she looked at Zhou Yunmei, asking again, "You tell me, how does your family want to handle this?"

"Divorce." Zhou Yunmei said definitively, "Once we get back, I’ll make my Zhiming divorce you."

Xu He narrowed her eyes and glared at Zhou Yunmei, her expression nonchalant but her tone resolute, "Wishful thinking. Now that I’ve been through all this, if your Zhiming dares to abandon me, I’ll crash my head to death on the Luo Family’s doorstep."

The whole dying act was something Zhou Yunmei had played too many times herself, yet here she was, still alive and well.

She raised her eyebrows at Xu He and pointed to a wall behind her, "Go on, crash now and die. See if I blink an eye."

Seeing that Zhou Yunmei was completely unfazed, Xu He bit her lip and really rushed towards the door to crash into it, but Zhou Yunmei just watched indifferently, not having the slightest intention of pulling her back.

As far as Zhou Yunmei was concerned, she was the originator of such acts; she knew all too well Xu He’s intention to scare her.

Someone who truly wanted to die wouldn’t make a scene and hope for the whole world to know at the time of their death.

Besides, just by seeing the direction Xu He was crashing into, a flimsy piece of wooden door; that was not something that could kill someone.

As expected, Xu He saw Zhou Yunmei make no move to pull her back, and when she rushed to the door, she deliberately slowed down a bit. Her head hitting the door did create a loud noise indeed, but it was not intimidating at all.

Seeing this, Zhou Yunmei curled her lips with a sneer, "Xu He, stop acting. Even if you really died in front of me, it wouldn’t matter to me. I did not kill you."

"Clean up. We’ll head home first thing tomorrow. Once we’re back, I’ll have Zhiming divorce you, and then we won’t have anything to do with each other."

"I..." Xu He was sitting on the ground, slightly lifting her head, trying to speak, but she suddenly went limp and fainted on the spot.

When Zhou Yunmei saw Xu He suddenly collapse motionless on the floor, her eyebrows knitted tightly. She suspected that Xu He was faking it and deliberately called out, "Xu He, don’t play dead with me. I’m not going to pay attention to you."

Yet, Xu He remained on the ground without any movement.

At this, Zhou Yunmei frowned, walked over, and pinched Xu He’s arm hard, but Xu He seemed to truly feel nothing, as if she had really passed out.

This time, Zhou Yunmei got scared. She shook Xu He’s body vigorously, "Xu He, wake up. Even if you want to die, don’t do it here. If you die here, what if the Police Station people come to trouble me?"

Xu He was just pretending, and naturally, no matter how Zhou Yunmei shook her, she remained unresponsive.

Seeing this, Zhou Yunmei truly feared that Xu He might die, so she glanced at her, then slowly reached out to check Xu He’s breath under her nose. Thankfully, there was still breath.

It seemed she had just fainted.

Zhou Yunmei let out a sigh of relief, looking impatiently at Xu He lying on the floor. She intended to ignore her, but was also concerned that Xu He might actually sleep herself to death and cause trouble for her.

With no choice, she had to run to the front desk of the guesthouse, mentioning that someone in the room had fainted and asking if they could get a doctor to have a look.

The guesthouse staff, also fearing the consequence of someone dying, immediately went to fetch an old doctor from outside.

The old doctor, a practitioner of Chinese medicine, felt Xu He’s pulse and then, smiling at Zhou Yunmei, said, "Old lady, this is good news, the girl is pregnant. She probably fainted due to overexertion. She’ll wake up after some rest."

"Wait, you’re saying she’s pregnant." Zhou Yunmei was stunned for a good while, then, upon coming to her senses, she expressed disbelief to the doctor, "That’s impossible."

Xu He was with another man just yesterday. Even if she was pregnant, it wouldn’t be so soon.

The old doctor sensed something was off and probed, "What, this girl doesn’t have a partner, is she single?"

"That’s not the case." Zhou Yunmei shook her head, saying, "She’s married."

"If she’s married, then having a child is surely good news." Hearing Zhou Yunmei say this, the doctor smiled, "Old lady, make sure to let the girl rest well. It looks like she’s overworked and may have stirred the fetal spirit. After you get home, give her some good nourishment."

"Doctor, are you really certain she’s carrying a child?" Zhou Yunmei still did not believe the fact that Xu He was pregnant.

The old doctor laughed and pointed outside, "I run a Chinese medicine shop over there. I also do regular pulse checks for people. A simple matter like this, I certainly won’t get wrong."
