Repaying with My Body
以身为报
Synopsis
In the third year of my secret relationship with Zhou Jiashu, he suddenly announced his engagement.
I was not the bride.
Someone who knew the truth tried to speak up for me, but Zhou Jiashu only gave a cold, dismissive smile. “If you feel so sorry for her, why don’t you marry that penniless girl yourself?”
Later, when my grandfather fell gravely ill and the company faced a crisis, I was forced to announce my pregnancy to inherit the family business.
“Miss Xu, is the child Mr. Zhou’s?” a reporter asked.
Facing the cameras, I maintained a graceful smile. “The child has nothing to do with Mr. Zhou.”
I heard that when Zhou Jiashu saw me on television that day with my slight baby bump, he was so enraged that he smashed every piece of furniture in the room.
Even later, someone caught a glimpse of the most low-profile and mysterious Ancestor of the Jing Circle on a crowded street, whispering pleas to a woman.
“Yanyan, the baby is almost a year old and about to start calling me ‘Daddy.’ Are you still not going to give me a formal title?”
