In the basement, where there was no daylight, there was a light like a bean. A thin and thin figure was lying on the cold wooden bed in the corner. Her hands and feet were tied to both sides of the bed by iron chains, and her whole body was full of shame. Her bulging belly was so big that it was scary, and her belly was covered with blue and purple lines of pregnancy.
"Oh..." Cheng Tang's stomach suddenly moved violently. She moved her body in horror and shouted in a hoarse voice, "Help, let me out. My child..."
"It's about to give birth?" The iron door opened, revealing a little bit of bright light. As the fat and thin figures entered the door, the light was blocked again.
Cheng Tang struggled desperately, and the wound on her hands and feet, which had just been condensed, cracked again. The iron chain clanged. "Liu Yu... please let me out... I'm going to give birth. My stomach hurts so much."
A few months ago, she was plotted against by her stepmother and slept with a mysterious man. From the moment she found out that she was pregnant, she was taken to the countryside and imprisoned for more than eight months.
During this period of time, she had been tortured by the mother and daughter of the Gu family. Blood crisscrossed all over her body, and black blood oozed out of the ferocious wound. Her delicate and beautiful facial features were now crisscrossed with scars, which occupied her whole face like a spider web.
Even though she was begging for mercy with tears in her eyes and looked pitiful, her face made her look very scary.
Liu Yu threw the food and milk in front of her and sneered condescendingly. "It's just the beginning of the pain. Don't worry. Eat something to replenish your strength first."
The woman from a wealthy family took good care of her body. She had a round face and a casual smile on her face. "It doesn't matter if you die. You have to give birth to this child safely."
"There are rich and powerful people inside." Hearing this, Gu Xiaoxiao stretched out her delicate vest and touched her belly. She seemed to be smiling, but her eyes were full of viciousness and coldness. Cheng Tang was so scared that her body began to spasm. "Don't, don't touch my child..."
Even if the baby in her belly was just an unexpected product of a one-night stand, she had been pregnant with the baby for nearly ten months. Even if several times she was tortured to death, she gritted her teeth and survived when she felt the little life in her belly.
She could not let anyone hurt her child.
Pa!
"You don't deserve to have a family member!" Gu Xiaoxiao suddenly pulled up Cheng Tang's hair and slapped her hard on the face. "Who do you think you are! Your shameless mother and the bastard son of a wild man..."
"You b*tch, how could you be so lucky to climb into Young Master Xi's bed!"
The Xi family had been passed down for a hundred years, and it had long been an unshakable top rich family in the business pyramid. The heir of this generation, Lu Muchen, was even more God's favored one. So many men, who were beyond the reach of the rich and powerful, had been touched by Cheng Tang, a humble weed born in the mud.
Gu Xiaoxiao pressed down on her head a few more times before she was able to vent her anger. A sinister smile appeared at the corners of her eyes. "Remember! This child is mine. You're just a vessel."
"No!"
No one could take her child away!
This was her motivation to persist until today, and her only hope.
Cheng Tang's head was hit with blood, and the blood was spreading along the scar on her face. Her eyes were covered with blood, and she suddenly felt wet under her body.
"Child..." With a sudden sharp pain in her stomach, Cheng Tang suddenly grabbed Gu Xiaoxiao's wrist, as if her whole person was going to be torn apart. She shouted desperately, "Call the doctor!"
"You still dare to order me?" Gu Xiaoxiao was so angry that she jumped. She was about to hit him, but her wrist was held down by Liu Yu. "Stop fooling around! She's really going to give birth to a baby. Go and call the doctor. The baby is the most important thing."
Thinking of her plan, Gu Xiaoxiao shook off the woman who was in pain and turned to find a private doctor.
"Don't be nervous." Liu Yu smiled kindly and gently scratched her belly with her nails like knives. "No matter what, I won't let anything happen to this child."
"Ah!" Cheng Tang was so nervous that her heart was beating fast. She was so painful that she almost fainted. The iron chain was stuck in her skin and flesh, so deep that her bones could be seen. The intense pain made Cheng Tang, who was on the edge of unconsciousness, wake up again, but she was so weak that she had no strength at all.
"Behave." Liu Yu's expression changed. He quickly opened the chain and forcefully poured the nutrition into her mouth. "If the child dies, you won't be able to live either."
Fortunately, the doctor soon arrived. When he saw this scene, horror flashed through his eyes. He quickly reached out to help deliver the baby, but he was shocked in his heart. Even if the child was born, with the pregnant woman's weak state, the adult would not be able to survive.
After more than two hours, Cheng Tang woke up. It was painful, painful, and exciting. It seemed that her whole life's sweat had been used up at this moment, and the child finally fell to the ground.
"Great, it's the little prince!" Liu Yu handed the child to her daughter. "Xiaoxiao, you will soon become a rich wife of a top rich family."
Gu Xiaoxiao was very excited. "Mom, I'm going to be Young Madam Xi soon."
Her smile faded. She walked to the bedside and looked at Cheng Tang, who was half dead. A cruel coldness flashed in her eyes. "Doctor, you can get rid of this kind of useless thing."
After that, the mother and daughter left happily with the child in their arms.
"Child..." Cheng Tang opened her eyes wide and desperately looked at the backs of the two people, but she couldn't see the child at all.
No!
For the sake of her child, she could not die here.
Seeing the doctor coming over with the medicine, Cheng Tang desperately wanted to untie the rope and begged, "Killing people is a crime. Do you really want to do this for money?"
"I have no way out for a long time." The doctor closed his eyes tightly, opened her mouth, and was about to pour the medicine.
"Don't..."
She didn't want to die here.
She was unwilling to give up.
Just as Cheng Tang was in despair, the iron gate was suddenly kicked open, and a slender and tall figure appeared in her blurred sight.
The man was against the light and his face couldn't be seen clearly. His neutral voice was full of surprise. "It smells... there is really someone here!"
Cheng Tang desperately pushed the doctor's hand away and cried, "Please, save me."
"Who are you?" The doctor panicked and was about to attack.
The man sneered disdainfully, punched the doctor's temple, and kicked him to faint on the ground. Then he walked to the bedside, and his eyes suddenly lit up. "There are so many babies, but you are so lucky..."
Cheng Tang was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to do.
The man bent over with great interest and whispered, "It's okay to save you... but I have a condition..."
"I..." Cheng Tang grabbed the man's sleeve and said, "I promise you."
No matter what this person's purpose was, she had to agree.
One day, she would become stronger.
He came back for revenge and took the child back.
