Chapter 429: Using the Body as a Bargaining Chip

"This is impossible!" Ling Yutong lost her voice, "Shi Ting, you are lying to me, right? The man that night was obviously you! I called your name, and you didn't deny it! And the next morning, I saw the note you left! I recognize your handwriting!"

Ji Shiting frowned slightly, as if he was surprised, and seemed to find it funny: "What was written on the note?"

"You said..." Ling Yutong choked for a while before continuing, "You said... Even if I use my body as a bargaining chip, you still can't help the Ling family through the difficulties. ... At that time, I knew that it might really be over between us."

The man she loved thought she used her body as a bargaining chip, and she was almost heartbroken at the time, but she didn't explain in the end. Because she knew that since Ji Shiting had clearly stated that he would not help the Ling family, even if she explained, it would be nothing more than humiliating herself.

After that day, she ran to the bank and the court, hoping to rescue her father, but unfortunately her father was eventually sentenced.

And during this process, Ji Shiting stood by and watched.

Then she found out that she was pregnant.

She went to see Ji Shiting for the last time. She originally planned to tell him about the child, but her self-esteem eventually made her unable to speak, so she chose to break up.

At that time, she thought that as long as Ji Shiting didn't agree, she would tell him about her pregnancy.

But the result disappointed her.

Ling Yutong still remembers the man's silent and cold expression. There was no trace of nostalgia and reluctance in the black eyes that fascinated her.

Recalling this, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

Ji Shiting looked at her biting her lips and trying to endure it. After a slight pause, he finally spoke: "It's obvious that someone deliberately imitated my handwriting and misled you."

Ling Yutong clenched her fists and suddenly felt difficult to breathe: "No... Impossible... Shiting, you must be lying to me!"

"If it were me, I wouldn't touch you at all that night." The man looked at her, his tone still calm, "After all, at that time, I thought you betrayed me. At that time, I had planned to break off the engagement with you, but it happened that something happened in your family, so I never mentioned it."

Ling Yutong felt dizzy.

She looked at the man's eyes with a hint of pity, and suddenly realized that what he said was true.

"Also, about your father." Ji Shiting added lightly, "If he was wronged, then even if I misunderstood you at the time, maybe I wouldn't mind helping, but the fact that he committed a crime is a foregone conclusion."

Ling Yutong's lips opened and closed several times, but she couldn't say a word.

It turned out that all her resentment and all her humiliation in the past few years were a self-deceiving joke. If she hadn't thought that the child was Ji Shiting's, she wouldn't have given birth to Xiao Zheng so decisively!

The lingering night in her memory was suddenly wiped away by the veil of tenderness. Thinking that the man was just a stranger, her blood turned cold.

"Who is it?" She uttered these two words with difficulty, her smile was extremely bitter, "Who is Xiao Zheng's father?"

"I'm still investigating." Ji Shiting pondered for a moment, "After all, you spent a night with him, maybe you can provide me with some clues."

Ling Yutong opened her mouth, and suddenly bit her lip in hatred: "There is no clue, I don't remember it anymore!"
