Chapter 540: Chapter 538: His Maintenance

Yanxi held onto Shi Ying, his peach blossom eyes fixated on Xia Yiwan’s phone without blinking.

The video began to play again.

Shi Ying crouched next to Ah Cheng, raised her hand, and patted his face.

The cold and gloomy expression in Shi Ying’s eyes was something Yanxi had never seen before.

In his heart, Shi Ying had always been delicate, pure, kind, and wonderful.

But the look she gave Ah Cheng in the video sent shivers down the spine.

A chill crept up Yanxi’s back.

Shi Ying’s emotions also seemed to be collapsing as she desperately tried to stop the video from playing further, but Yanxi firmly blocked her.

Though Yanxi was now thin, he was still a man, and he had strength.

Shi Ying couldn’t break free at all.

“Stop watching it, don’t play it anymore!”

Xia Yiwan coldly tugged at the corners of her lips, “Are you scared?”

Shi Ying glared at Xia Yiwan with a cold and angry expression, “You’re slandering me, yes, this video is slandering me!”

No matter what Shi Ying said, Xia Yiwan continued to play the video normally, and Yanxi also watched intently without blinking.

After Shi Ying crouched down next to Ah Cheng, she began trying to hypnotize him.

But Ah Cheng was an expert, not a pure businessman like Father Xia, who could easily be hypnotized and controlled by Shi Ying.

It took Shi Ying more than a day to forcibly feed Ah Cheng medicine for nervous exhaustion before she successfully hypnotized him.

–You came here under the orders of Xia Yiwan to destroy me!

After successfully hypnotizing Ah Cheng, Shi Ying chopped him in the back of the neck, knocking him out, then began to tear at her clothes and viciously slapped her own face several times, injuring herself all over and creating the appearance of someone who had been abused.

Seeing this, disbelief filled Yanxi’s peach blossom eyes.

A prickling pain assaulted his temples.

“Sister Shi Ying, you…” Yanxi’s eyes reddened, and his tall frame swayed unsteadily.

Shi Ying knew that no matter what she said now, it was already too late.

The video recorded everything that had happened in these two days.

Everything was orchestrated by her!

Shi Ying’s brows were furrowed tightly as she looked at Xia Yiwan, “Where did you get this video?”

Xia Yiwan turned and looked towards Ah Cheng behind her, pointing at the button on his clothes, “Inside here is the latest model of a hidden camera.”

Thinking about it, they had Zhou Hengnian to thank for exposing this spectacle of Shi Ying’s self-directed play.

She didn’t know where he got the latest hidden camera model and even made a button out of it for Ah Cheng to carry with him.

Zhou Hengnian hadn’t mentioned this to her, so she was extremely anxious when she found out about Ah Cheng’s disappearance.

Zhou Hengnian didn’t rush to save Ah Cheng right away because Shi Ying hadn’t been fully exposed yet!

Ah Cheng was Zhou Hengnian’s man. She felt guilty that he had been hypnotized by Shi Ying for her sake.

But Zhou Hengnian told her not to worry about it and that he would take care of Ah Cheng’s treatment later on.

In the year and more that she had spent with Zhou Hengnian, he was meticulous in everything and didn’t require her to worry too much!

If he hadn’t mentioned he had a fiancee he liked and was merely repaying her for the help when he was at his lowest, she might have suspected that he liked her.

But how could he possibly like her in her current state?

Disfigured, unable to have children, and with a terribly failed marriage behind her!

No normal man would like her!

Xia Yiwan snapped out of her reverie and looked towards Yanxi with a cool gaze, “Do you still want to defend her?”

Yanxi swayed unsteadily.

After watching the video, his mind was almost a complete blank.

He couldn’t believe that the woman in the video would be Sister Shi Ying!

It was all orchestrated by her!

She hadn’t been kidnapped, nor humiliated and tormented!

She did this all just to frame and falsely accuse Xia Yiwan!

Then there was Father Xia back then…

Thinking that Father Xia may also have been framed, Yanxi felt his blood turn cold.

Seeing Yanxi’s constantly shifting expressions, Shi Ying’s heart was in her throat.

No matter how much she tried to argue, Yanxi would never trust her again!

Shi Ying felt a fear she had never known before.

She wanted to throw herself into Yanxi’s arms, but before she could touch him, he pushed her away with a shove.

Yanxi’s mind was in chaos now, as if thousands of bees were flying inside his head, making his ears buzz.

Shi Ying was pushed by Yanxi and fell to the ground.

Yanxi looked at Shi Ying with a deep frown, “Father Xia was framed by you, wasn’t he?”

Shi Ying shook her head repeatedly, “I didn’t, Yanxi, you have to believe me!”

Shi Ying got up from the ground, her trembling fingers clutching at Yanxi’s sleeve, “Yanxi, Xia Yiwan’s sudden return scared me, I was afraid she would take you away from me. I was confused and made this mistake…”

“Yanxi, I did all this just to keep you! I had long suspected that Shang Wan was Xia Yiwan. She became your secretary and put hair on your shirt to make me misunderstand. She returned just to separate us!”

Xia Yiwan’s lips curled into a mocking smile, “Weren’t these tactics all learned from you? Who was it that once left hair and lipstick on Yanxi’s clothes to make me misunderstand?”

“Ha, you as a mistress have the gall to say that I destroyed your relationship? I’ve never seen a woman as shameless and as cold and vicious as you!”

Shi Ying paid no attention to Xia Yiwan; as long as Yanxi didn’t blame her, everything was negotiable!

“Yanxi, for the sake of our past relationship, can you give me another chance?”

Yanxi thought about how Shi Ying had once saved his life without hesitation, giving him a second chance, and he felt a softness in his heart.

“You release the hypnosis commands on Ah Cheng and Father Xia, they are innocent.”

Shi Ying’s hanging hands clenched into fists.

If possible, she truly wished Father Xia could be locked away for ten or twenty years.

But he had served over four years, which had eased her grudge.

At least, the Xia family would no longer accept Yanxi as a son-in-law!

Shi Ying nodded, tears blurring her vision, “Okay.”

As soon as Shi Ying finished speaking, Xia Yiwan couldn’t contain her anger anymore, “Shi Ying, you framed my father and made him suffer over four years in prison. Do you think you can escape legal punishment?”

Standing behind Yanxi, Shi Ying appeared trembling, “Xia Yiwan, I can’t possibly go to jail. If you dare to sue me, I won’t release your father’s hypnosis command!”

“Moreover, Yanxi won’t bear to let me go to jail,” Shi Ying looked toward Yanxi, “Yanxi, you will protect me, right?”

Yanxi turned to Xia Yiwan, “I will compensate your Xia family. Wanwan, I promise Sister Shi Ying won’t hurt you again in the future!”

Xia Yiwan sneered internally.

Yanxi was really a fool!

He himself was played like a fiddle by Shi Ying, yet he was making guarantees for her?

Sooner or later, Shi Ying would end up in prison, but certainly not now.

She hadn’t yet found evidence that Shi Ying had someone tamper with her car that year.

She also hadn’t made Yanxi see her true face!

Today’s incident was just an appetizer.

After all, there was plenty of time!
