My Lady, To Defeat Scumbags You Must Start Early

Chapter 463: Chapter 463: Little Tiger, from now on it’s just the two of us (Second update)

A quiet night.

Yin Qin listened as Song Zhizhi spoke in an eerily calm voice about Luo Xiaolang’s situation.

“She waited all day, but you did not come. You didn’t even come to apologize. But I believe, being as kind as she is, Luo Xiaolang will not hold it against you, you can hurt her without restraint.” Song Zhizhi suppressed her emotions, her tone bitter with sarcasm.

Yin Qin, in fact, wished that Luo Xiaolang would hate him.

Hating him might make him feel a little better.

At least she wouldn’t have to feel so guilty—so guilty about hurting such a beautiful and kind-hearted girl.

Song Zhizhi continued, “Afterwards, your mother took Xiaolang back to your home. I don’t know what you said to each other, but Xiaolang only asked me to come pick her up and mentioned nothing about you. I suspect Xiaolang probably doesn’t blame you. You can enjoy a guilt-free life with your Ji Baixin, abandoning Xiaolang would cause you no trouble. Xiaolang won’t fight for herself. You can love your Ji Baixin fully.”

“Oh, and by the way, the main point I wanted to make today—Xiaolang had a relapse of lactation.”

Yin Qin stiffened.

“You probably don’t know why she is lactating again. I don’t know either, Xiaolang doesn’t know, but the experienced nanny does—it happens when someone is too heartbroken.” Song Zhizhi spoke slowly and distinctively.

Yin Qin remained silent, listening.

His heart hurt tremendously.

He had already numbed himself to the pain, unable to feel any emotion, but upon hearing Song Zhizhi’s words, he felt a profound pain, so intense that his eyes turned red.

He understood that any woman would be upset in such a situation. Luo Xiaolang only kept it to herself and said nothing because she didn’t want to bother anyone.

He felt like a complete jerk!

“Now, because of the lactation issue, the little tiger has no milk to feed on. We had no choice but to buy formula, but like you, your son hates it—he refuses to take the bottle or pacifier, no matter how much we coax him. He cried until his voice went hoarse and then he finally cried himself to sleep. I don’t know if he will keep causing a fuss when he wakes up later tonight. But judging by your son’s stubbornness, just like your obsession with Ji Baixing, he probably won’t accept formula easily. Rest assured, I’m not saying all this to ask you for help. I just thought, if you have a shred of conscience, these words might make you feel guilty. Otherwise, with your heartless nature, you would probably think it’s only natural that Luo Xiaolang bears all this for you.”

Yin Qin remained silent, saying not a word.

Song Zhizhi never expected a response from Yin Qin.

Yes.

Her intention in saying all this was to make Yin Qin feel terrible.

Why should Luo Xiaolang be the only one to bear the brunt of all the miseries? Why can’t Yin Qin be made aware of it? She did not seek his help, but at the very least, he shouldn’t be allowed to live in such tranquility.

She was different from Luo Xiaolang.

Having been reborn once, she was determined to exact revenge!

Just as Song Zhizhi was about to hang up the phone,

She suddenly heard a familiar female voice from Yin Qin’s end.

She heard Ji Baixin say, “Yin Qin, are you on a call?”

In that moment, Song Zhizhi wanted to strangle Yin Qin.

She spoke through gritted teeth, “Is there a need to rush? I really feel bad for Xiaolang. It’s not fair!”

With that, she hung up the phone abruptly.

She was so angry she felt like exploding.

The day had not even ended. Their announcement about the end of their marriage hadn’t even passed a day, and he was already living with Ji Baixin!

“Ji Baijian!” Song Zhizhi shouted angrily, her temper flaring.

Ji Baijian looked at his furious wife.

“Come here.” Song Zhizhi called him over.

Ji Baijian complied, moving closer to her.

Song Zhizhi grabbed Ji Baijian’s hand and bit down.

Ji Baijian winced in pain.

Song Zhizhi was struggling to vent her anger.

Unable to punish the despicable Yin Qin, she took it out on Ji Baijian instead.

Who told him to raise Yin Qin? And who told him that the vixen luring Yin Qin away was his own sister?

With these thoughts,

She felt that Ji Baijian was totally involved!

After biting for a while, Song Zhizhi let go.

Letting go, she left a deep teeth mark.

Fuming, she stormed upstairs.

Ji Baijian gave a silent smile.

As he watched Song Zhizhi’s retreating back, his face gradually became serious.

He picked up the phone that Song Zhizhi had tossed onto the sofa and dialed Yin Qin’s number again.

Yin Qin answered.

“It’s me.” Ji Baijian said.

“Hmm.” Yin Qin responded.

“What happened?” Ji Baijian asked directly.

Yin Qin was silent for a few seconds.

Slowly, he said, “Baixin was violated.”

Ji Baijian’s face darkened.

“Don’t tell anyone.”

“Who did it?” Ji Baijian asked, then realized, “Weng Cheng.”

“Hmm.”

So that’s why Yin Qin had abandoned the wedding ceremony so recklessly.

To take responsibility.

To take responsibility for Ji Baixin.

Ji Baixin’s entire ordeal was his own doing from the start.

Given Yin Qin’s character, he would never abandon her!

“I am currently investigating those involved.” Yin Qin said, “I will make sure they don’t die a peaceful death.”

“Don’t do anything rash.” Ji Baijian warned, “It might be a trap set by Weng Cheng.”

Yin Qin’s face tightened.

“From now on, don’t act alone. Let me know if there’s anything.”

“I won’t let this go.” Yin Qin said through gritted teeth.

“Neither will I!” Ji Baijian gave him a definitive answer.

No matter what, Ji Baixin is his sister.

He can’t let the culprits get away with this.

“Baijian.” Yin Qin called out, “I don’t want to publicize this for Baixin’s sake.”

“I understand.” Ji Baijian nodded.

He wouldn’t let Ji Baixin face unbearable embarrassment in front of everyone.

“When is Weng Cheng going to court?” Ji Baijian asked.

“Next week.”

“We need to figure out a way to lead Weng Cheng to his own ruin.”

Yin Qin knitted his brows.

“Contact me then.” Ji Baijian said in a serious tone.

“Okay.” Yin Qin responded, not doubting Ji Baijian’s plan at all.

He was cunning and could handle anything.

But he was the one,

Always making a mess of things.

He put down the phone, gently set it down.

He turned and headed back to his room.

Ji Baixin was watching TV in the living room.

She must have just woken up from a nap.

She seemed frail and weak, sitting in the living room.

She turned her head to watch Yin Qin entering from the balcony.

She asked, “Was that a call from my elder brother?”

“Yes.”

“He knows all about it?” Ji Baixin asked.

She looked very calm.

Yin Qin nodded, “I didn’t want to deceive him, nor could I.”

Ji Baixin pursed her lips.

“Baixin, we will never let those people go unpunished, don’t worry.”

“But… I don’t want everyone in the world to know what I’ve been through, to know how miserable I, Ji Baixin, was…”

“It won’t happen.” Yin Qin affirmed, “I swear I won’t let you be exposed.”

Ji Baixin’s eyes seemed a bit moist.

She truly couldn’t shake off the tribulations of the previous night.

If she dared to think about it, the pain would be unbearable.

She didn’t even know how long it would take to emerge from those shadows.

“Don’t fear, I’ll protect you.”

Yin Qin came over, embracing her and consoling her.

Ji Baixin nodded in silence.

The two held each other for quite a while.

Ji Baixin suddenly asked, “How is Xiaolang?”

She knew that Yin Qin had gone back while she was asleep.

She was also in anguish, knowing what she had done, she couldn’t even believe she had done such a thing, but she couldn’t help it.

She couldn’t imagine, if she had lost Yin Qin by now, what would she have left.

How could she emerge from those terrifying shadows.

Yin Qin’s body seemed to tense up for a second.

As if the mere mention of the name caused a strong physical reaction.

He spoke lightly, “She’s alright. She doesn’t understand love or societal views very well. She’s still too young, too naive… she doesn’t understand sorrow…”

She doesn’t understand.

Why suddenly she stopped producing milk.

Yin Qin couldn’t say anymore.

Even deceiving himself became too much.

Ji Baixin looked up at Yin Qin.

Watching him try to hide his true emotions.

Yin Qin slowly smiled, “Don’t overthink it, Xiaolang will live well.”

“Do you like Xiaolang?” Ji Baixin asked him directly.

Yin Qin shook his head, “Silly, don’t you know who I like?”

Ji Baixin rested comfortably in Yin Qin’s arms.

She knew that Yin Qin had always loved her.

His involvement with Luo Xiaolang was simply a matter of duty.

Consequently…

She had not caused a rift between a pair of lovers, she hadn’t.

Embracing Ji Baixin, Yin Qin gazed straight ahead.

Right.

He didn’t like Xiaolang.

He didn’t like her.

No, he didn’t. At this moment, Luo Xiaolang filled his mind!

…

The following day.

Luo Xiaolang was really tortured by little tiger throughout the night.

He would wake up and cry, and when he stopped crying, he would sleep; he would wake up after twenty minutes and the cycle would begin anew. Finally, in the early morning, Luo Xiaolang fed him some formula, he sleepily gulped down most of a bottle before finally falling deep asleep.

The nanny and Luo Xiaolang had both been up all night.

Seeing little tiger finally eating and then sleeping, the nanny advised quickly, “Miss, you also take some rest while he’s asleep. Lack of sleep can affect the production of milk. After a good sleep, we can go to the hospital and see if there’s a way to stimulate lactation.”

“It’s okay, I don’t feel that sleepy.” Luo Xiaolang said, “Auntie Wu, you also have been up all night. Go to sleep first. I can watch over little tiger.”

“How can that be? You need to ensure that you get enough sleep, Miss…”

“Just call me Xiaolang from now on.” Luo Xiaolang said.

The title Miss was only for Yin Qin’s wife.

The nanny paused for a moment before finally saying, “Xiaolang.”

“Yes.” Luo Xiaolang gave a small smile, there was no sign of sadness in her look, not even a hint of negative emotions related to yesterday’s happenings.

This girl.

How could the young master bear to hurt her so.

“Go and sleep, auntie. I’m going to need you to look after little tiger while I’m at the hospital; you’re the one who needs to get some sleep.”

“Should I ask madam to send a few more servants over to lend a hand?” Auntie Wu suggested.

She wasn’t worried so much about taking care of little tiger single-handedly, but more about Xiaolang not getting enough sleep.

“No need.” Luo Xiaolang declined, “Auntie is pregnant. She was already upset enough over my matter with Yin Qin yesterday. I don’t want her to worry about little tiger too.”

Auntie Wu genuinely felt for her.

Luo Xiaolang always considered others.

She never thought about what she was going through herself.

As a woman, the most heartbreaking thing was to learn of your husband’s infidelity or your child’s sickness.

While it wasn’t a sickness, little tiger not sucking was certainly a major worry for any parent of an infant. Any mother in this situation would be very vulnerable and sensitive, yet Luo Xiaolang didn’t want to bother anyone.

“You go and rest for a bit.” Luo Xiaolang encouraged.

Auntie Wu said no more, after all, she was just a maid. She turned and went to the other room.

Watching auntie Wu leave, Luo Xiaolang lay down next to little tiger.

Little tiger had cried and fussied the whole night, there were still tear stains on his face.

She watched her son.

“Little tiger,” she said, whispering into his ear, “from now on, it’s just us two. Can you be a good boy? We can live very well even if it’s just the two of us, right?”

Of course, sleeping little tiger couldn’t respond to Luo Xiaolang.

Luo Xiaolang extended her index finger and grabbed little tiger’s hand.

Little tiger, with a reflexive grasp, clung tightly to her finger, as if she was his whole world.

Luo Xiaolang gave a small smile.

Just having little tiger by her side was enough.

She really bore no resentment towards anyone.
