C29 He Wouldn't Have a Good End
But the risk of doing this is obviously higher than the first two.
Because if the painting was not properly drawn, it would immediately be seen through...
Kuan Xinyu stared at the message and bit her lips. After thinking for a few seconds, she immediately made a decision -
Let's do it!
Using a red pen, she drew a line on the pregnancy test stick.
She didn't want to take the risk.
If Shangguan Rui knew that she had tampered with the pregnancy test stick, he would not let her off easily.
But if she didn't tamper with it and left just like that, she would be discovered by Shangguan Rui. Pregnant was a lie, and there wouldn't be a good ending, right?
Since he had been forced onto Liang Shan and would die anyway, he might as well go all out and gamble.
This way, there might be a chance for him to survive.
Kuan Xinyu took a deep breath and started to forge.
Five minutes later...
"This is what you wanted."
Kuan Xinyu came in front of Shangguan Rui and handed over the pregnancy test stick she had prepared.
On the pregnancy test stick, two red lines entered his eyes.
Although it was only shallow, it was indeed explained in the instruction manual as pregnancy...
Shangguan Rui was slightly stunned, and his expression was a little stunned.
He had always felt that Kuan Xinyu was not pregnant and was only playing tricks...
In the end, the answer was completely different from what he had expected.
Was he overthinking and making a mistake?
Kuan Xinyu's strange behavior just now did not have any other meaning, much less a guilty expression?
Shangguan Rui's long and narrow eyes narrowed slightly.
"Shangguan Rui? What do you mean by not saying anything?" Kuan Xinyu broke the silence and stopped Shangguan Rui from thinking.
When she came out of the bathroom, her heart was hanging by her throat and she was so nervous that she almost jumped out.
If not for the support of her strong willpower, she was afraid that she would have collapsed a long time ago.
"It's nothing, I didn't expect you to really be pregnant. I'm a little surprised." Shangguan Rui curled his lower lip. His eyes were dark, like the sea in the middle of the night, making it hard for people to see his real face.
Kuan Xinyu was very nervous, so that her fans would not stop sweating.
She really wanted to destroy the pregnancy test stick in her hand, but she was also afraid that Shangguan Rui would notice something wrong. She held on to it, and her hand was shaking a little.
"Since you are pregnant, then give birth." Shangguan Rui frowned and said. His cold black eyes quickly flashed with a glimmer of light.
Did this mean that she successfully deceived Shangguan Rui?
Kuan Xinyu secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
"I will not give birth to a child for no reason."
"You want to get married?" Shangguan Rui's cold eyes suddenly gave birth to a terrifying light.
He had always hated women who threatened him to marry them with their child or death.
"Of course not!" Kuan Xinyu denied in horror, her face full of shock.
The reason she found Shangguan Rui was to buy the news for fifty million.
Kuan Xinyu had never thought of compensating herself.
If she got the fifty million yuan, she would immediately leave.
It was absolutely impossible for her to marry Shangguan Rui!
Shangguan Rui's expression suddenly turned cold, and his eyes were as sinister as an eagle's.
Kuan Xinyu did not use the matter of the child. If she wanted to threaten marriage, shouldn't she feel that it saved her some trouble?
Why didn't he heave a sigh of relief? Instead, he felt as if he had been stepped on, and his anger burned wildly?
Because there was no precedent of being rejected by a woman?
Shangguan Rui's pupils shrank, and the corners of his mouth twitched in ridicule. "If you don't want to get married, then what do you want?"
"Money. I want money." Kuan Xinyu said.
"Money?" Shangguan Rui's face was cold, and his dark eyes were sharp and disdainful. "Tell me, how much do you want?"
He thought that this woman was more or less different from the rest, but now it seemed that he had overestimated her!
These women were essentially the same -
Payment.
For money, even children could be traded.
Shangguan Rui looked coldly at Kuan Xinyu, his face unprecedentedly cold.
Kuan Xinyu's heart kept trembling.
She did not know if it was because she successfully deceived Shangguan Rui or because of his frightening gaze.
"Fifty million." Kuan Xinyu said while holding back her trembling voice. She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug deep into her flesh.
"Fifty million?" Shangguan Rui's cold eyes looked up, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent. "You are quite bold to ask for an exorbitant price. Or did I mishear you?"
"You didn't mishear me. I said fifty million." Kuan Xinyu looked at him fearlessly.
"What if I don't give it to you?"
Shangguan Rui leaned against the sofa and smiled faintly, but his smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.
"The child will not have the chance to be born in this world."
Shangguan Rui's pupils suddenly shrank, and his eyes were filled with killing intent. "Are you threatening me?"
No one had ever dared to do this.
This woman, how dare she!
"Right." Kuan Xinyu simply admitted it.
At this point, she no longer had any way out and was not allowed to retreat.
Shangguan Rui was silent.
Then, he stood up and walked step by step to the front of Kuan Xinyu.
Kuan Xinyu subconsciously straightened her back and stood even straighter.
She did not say anything.
The whole world was silent.
Time seemed to freeze.
Shangguan Rui looked down from above, covering Kuan Xinyu in the shadows like a falcon with its wings wide open, its imposing manner intimidating.
Kuan Xinyu could not help but tremble.
She gritted her teeth and held on.
She couldn't show weakness.
Once she showed weakness, she would not have any bargaining chips to negotiate with this man.
She had to have enough momentum to have the chance to gain the upper hand.
Kuan Xinyu took a deep breath and calmed her emotions down.
Shangguan Rui stared at her without blinking.
After a while, he suddenly curled his lips and smiled slowly.
Kuan Xinyu frowned, not understanding what he meant.
"Your courage is not bad." Shangguan Rui praised.
... ""
Kuan Xinyu furrowed her brows tightly. She did not know what Shangguan Rui was up to.
"50 million. I agree."
Kuan Xinyu heaved a sigh of relief.
However, before she could relax, Shangguan Rui said again -
"I can give you 50 million, but there is a condition."
"What?" He tensed up again.
"I will only pay on the day the child is born."
... ""
She never would have thought that Shangguan Rui would put forward such a condition. Kuan Xinyu's expression froze and she was stunned.
The matter of pregnancy was fabricated by her. Such a fact did not exist at all.
It was simply impossible to agree to such a request.
"What is it? Not willing?"
... ""
"I think, you should understand the principle of goods and silver, right?" Shangguan Rui's voice was cold and emotionless, like a cold arrow, "Since you treat your child as a 'commodity' to trade. Then, I also have the right to request to see 'goods' before paying. Isn't that so? "
... ""
Kuan Xinyu was really in chaos now.
She agreed. Nine months later, where would she find a child for Shangguan Rui?
Oh, there was no need for nine months. Four months later, her plan would be exposed...
If she did not agree, she would definitely not have the money to buy information from Detective Lin.
If he didn't have money, he wouldn't know who killed Liye.
Should he give up just like that?
No!
She would not give up!
After investigating for more than three years, she was only one step away from the truth. How could she give up?
She had to know who had killed Liye that year.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be willing to die.
Kuan Xinyu gritted her teeth, "Okay, I promise you."
Four months.
After agreeing to Shangguan Rui's conditions, she still had four months.
In these four months, she would definitely think of a way to solve the problem of fake pregnancy.
Kuan Xinyu told herself.
Shangguan Rui fiercely stared at Kuan Xinyu. His dark eyes were cold to the point of being frightened, as if he wanted to eat someone.
What did he want to do?
Didn't he already want to believe that he was pregnant?
Why was he still looking at her with that kind of gaze?
Could it be that he had already noticed the difference in the test kit?
Kuan Xinyu's heart was beating wildly. The pregnancy test kit in her hand subconsciously hid behind her back.
Shangguan Rui saw it and did not think much about it.
"Tomorrow, I will arrange for a doctor to come over and do a detailed examination for you." Shangguan Rui said.
"There is no need for a examination!"
Kuan Xinyu's reaction was intense.
It was not easy for her to muddle her way through. When the doctor arrived, how could she lie to him?
Shangguan Rui narrowed his eyes suspiciously.
"What I mean is, my health has always been good. There are no problems. I don't need to waste medical resources." Kuan Xinyu calmed her emotions and explained, trying to make her voice sound normal, "I can show you the physical examination table!"
Kuan Xinyu showed the physical examination table to Shangguan Rui.
In her heart, she was secretly glad that when her knee was injured and hospitalized, she listened to the nurse's advice and did a full body examination.
Shangguan Rui did not pick it up and turned around to leave.
What... did he mean?
Kuan Xinyu was stunned and did not react for a long time.
Because Shangguan Rui did not give a direct answer, he would not find a doctor to examine her body.
Kuan Xinyu was anxious and uneasy. There was a bucket of water hanging in her heart. She could not calm down.
She wanted to ask Shangguan Rui clearly, but she was afraid that asking too much would cause suspicion. She could only endure and stay.
A little later, two maids came over. They said that Shangguan Rui had sent them to specially serve her.
The two maids served tea, poured water, and even supported her as they walked, causing Kuan Xinyu to almost break down.
She directly kicked the maids out of the door and sat alone on the sofa in a daze.
At six o'clock in the evening, the maid knocked on the door and came in, asking her to come downstairs for dinner.
There was a special restaurant in the villa on the first floor.
The space was very large, like a small banquet venue.
The decoration was very simple, with no more than three colors, giving people an elegant and solemn feeling.
In the middle of the dining table, there was a long rectangular table, a typical European style, full of extravagance.
On both sides, the maids formed a "one" standard team of waitresses.
Shangguan Rui was already sitting there and enjoying his food.
The light from the light golden crystal shone on Shangguan Rui's body, and above his head, it formed a hazy circle of light.
The scene was really beautiful and elegant, just like the nobility in the painting.
"Miss Kuan, this is your position."
The chair opposite Shangguan Rui was pulled open.
Kuan Xinyu looked over and saw that the distance was at least five meters.
They were obviously deskmates eating, but they were so far away. Didn't she feel uncomfortable?
Kuan Xinyu bit her lower lip, "I'm not sitting here."
She walked directly to the seat beside Shangguan Rui and sat down.
The maid quickly moved the dishes over.
"So close... What? He suddenly realized that he had fallen in love with me?" Shangguan Rui raised his eyebrows and put down the knife and fork in his hand.
The maid brought a napkin over.
After Shangguan Rui wiped it, he casually threw it on the table and leaned back lazily, looking unrestrained.
Kuan Xinyu had to admit it.
