Adhere to the gentleman's principles

Chapter 187 No Ethics

Late at night, everything was quiet, and Ah Yue slowly woke up from her sleep. She slowly opened her eyes, and her sight immediately caught sight of Zhao Junning sitting beside the bed. She was startled, and hurriedly sat up, reaching out to touch her abdomen.

"You don't have to worry, the baby in your belly is safe and sound." Zhao Junning comforted softly and handed the teacup in her hand to A Yue.

Ah Yue looked at Zhao Junning with a wary look in her eyes, and asked in confusion: "I almost stabbed you with a dagger, and I also framed Lord Li, why did you save my life?"

Zhao Junning smiled and replied calmly, "I saved you for no other reason than that I felt the baby in your belly should be innocent. Besides, I can see that you were also forced to do so."

Then, Zhao Junning changed the subject and continued, "However, the most important thing is that I hope to make a deal with you."

Ah Yue stared at Zhao Junning, who said calmly, "You should know that I am a businessman, and businessmen always value transactions."

After a moment of silence, Ah Yue said, "What are your conditions? Just tell me directly."

Zhao Junning raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile, and said slowly: "This request is not difficult to achieve. As long as you are willing to provide me with some useful clues, I can ensure that you and the baby in your belly are safe."

Ah Yue said calmly, "I know what kind of information you expect to get from me. However, I am not familiar with the person who sent me here. I only know that he is a high-ranking official. Judging from his expression, he seems to be dissatisfied with Li Ziyan."

At this time, Li Ziyan, who was standing outside the house, heard this and stepped into the house, saying, "Since this is the case, you can rest assured and recuperate here. Don't worry, everyone in the Li Mansion will protect you."

After saying that, he took Zhao Junning's hand and walked out the door together. When they were outside, Zhao Junning couldn't help but ask, "Do you believe what she said?"

Li Ziyan nodded slightly to show his agreement, and then explained: "As far as I know, the biological father of her unborn baby was killed by the leader. Therefore, in my opinion, she should be resentful and want to avenge this blood feud."

The next morning, the sun shone through the windows into the store, illuminating every corner. Mrs. Liu walked into the store with her daughter, looking anxious. This time they came to visit Zhao Junning for another important matter - to ask her to help treat their daughter.

Apparently, Madam Liu had already learned about Liu Xiner's pregnancy, but she didn't know how to deal with it. When she saw Zhao Junning, Madam Liu knelt down without hesitation, with tears in her eyes and pleading: "Madam Li, please save my daughter!"

Zhao Junning saw this and quickly helped Mrs. Liu up, and comforted her: "Don't worry, take your time to talk." Then she cast her eyes on Liu Xiner, stared at her for a moment and said softly: "Miss Liu, please follow me."

The two of them came to the side room together, and after closing the door, the room suddenly became quiet. Zhao Junning sat on the chair, staring at Liu Xiner in front of him, and asked calmly: "Miss Liu, what do you want to tell me?"

Liu Xiner lowered her head, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and stuttered nervously: "Mrs. Li... Madam Li, I know you are very smart and must have a way to save me. Please help me..." After that, she fell to her knees with a plop, and continued to beg with a choked voice.

"What happened? Tell me slowly." Zhao Junning quickly stood up, helped Liu Xiner up, and spoke softly.

"You should have noticed that I was pregnant when I came to your shop that day. Actually, the baby in my belly is not someone else's... it's..." Liu Xiner's face flushed red, and she seemed to have something to hide, and she hesitated to speak.

Zhao Junning poured her a cup of hot tea with sympathy and comforted her, "Don't worry, take your time to talk, there's no one else here." Liu Xiner took the cup, nodded gratefully, took a deep breath, and continued, "I'm not actually my parents' biological child. They passed away too early, so they, my parents today, took me in and raised me. I've always remembered this kindness and I'm very grateful to them. And Madam Liu, my eldest aunt, has never been able to have children."

At this point, Liu Xiner couldn't help but burst into tears. After calming down a little, she continued, "I once naively believed that they treated me like their own daughter. However, on that terrible night, everything changed. My aunt cruelly got me drunk. Then I was sent to my uncle's room without knowing what was going on... It was then that I suddenly realized that they had ulterior motives in raising me, and they wanted to use my body to bear children for them!"

After hearing these words, Zhao Junning was shocked and could hardly believe her ears. "You are their niece! Don't they care about ethics and morals at all?" She widened her eyes and looked incredulous.

Liu Xiner showed a bitter smile on her face, "Ethics? Haha, how could they have such a thing? This time it was because I drank the abortion pill and was caught by my aunt.

She doesn't trust the doctors in the city at all, and she firmly believes that only you, Madam Li, can help her solve her problem. So please, Madam Li, please don't help her, okay?"

Zhao Junning was silent for a while, then asked: "So what are your plans next?"

Liu Xiner replied, "I plan to go back to Qingzhou, which is my hometown. My parents left me a shop, and I want to run it."

"Mrs. Li, I understand that this is very difficult for you, but I really have no other options. It is so disgusting that I can't stand it any longer." Liu Xiner continued.

Zhao Junning silently handed Liu Xiner a cloak, and then walked out of the room together. Although she didn't want to get involved, as a woman, it was difficult for her to stand by and watch.

At night, Zhao Junning told Li Ziyan everything that happened today. Mrs. Liu originally thought that Liu Xiner had been saved by Zhao Junning and the effect of the abortion drug had been removed. However, in fact, Zhao Junning just respected Liu Xiner's own decision.
