My White and Rich Beautiful CEO Wife-Chapter 527 I am also a victim
"Smack...."
Yan Mingyu, tears streaming down her face, struck Qin Yu's face with a heavy slap and cried out in heart-wrenching agony, "Why, why do you have to hurt me like this?"
"Mingyu!"
Qin Yu steadied Yan Mingyu as she swayed on the verge of collapse and said slowly, word by word, "In this whole affair, Han Bing is innocent, the child is innocent, I am even more innocent. Can you understand that? I am a victim too. I've walked through fire and brimstone, survived death countless times—all for you. Doesn't that prove my sincerity?"
"Stop talking.... Just go, get out...."
Yan Mingyu pointed towards the door, screaming at the top of her lungs.
"Alright, Mingyu, calm down, I'll leave, I'll leave right now!"
Qin Yu released Yan Mingyu, raised his hands, and walked out of the room through the door.
He couldn't bear to deceive Yan Mingyu anymore and had told her the truth, but she undoubtedly needed some time to process it. If he searched his soul, he hadn't done anything wrong in this matter; if it wasn't for Zhao Qilin drugging him, he wouldn't have touched Han Bing a second time and there wouldn't have been a child.
Hopefully, once she calmed down, she would give him another chance!
Qin Yu looked at the closed door and stood silently for a while before walking into the elevator.

Inside the room.
Yan Mingyu's lips trembled, her mind a blank slate, her body soft as if only leaning against the wall kept her upright.
If Qin Yu had really only touched Han Bing because of Zhao Qilin's drugging, maybe she could forgive him.
But he had been with Han Bing in East Sea; it had been several months, and had he ever confessed to her?
Now there was even a child involved; how could she possibly go back to how things once were with him?
Yan Mingyu clenched her fist tightly, so hard her fingernails pierced her palms and blood dripped onto the shiny floor.
Even so, Qin Yu's words echo in her mind: "I am also a victim. I've gone through hell and high water with you, risking life and limb, isn't that enough to prove my heart?"
Indeed, since he came back to the country last year, Liu Nanyan, Ichiro Sato, Liu Yuran, Miao Xian'er, and even later with Grandmaster Hongwu, the financial crisis, and finally Zhao Qilin in the provincial city, Qin Yu had been with her through it all, hadn't he?
If Qin Yu were truly lecherous, he would have taken advantage of her long ago.
But how could she accept that he had another child out there?
The more Yan Mingyu thought about it, the more stifled her chest felt, as if a massive stone lay on it, making it difficult to breathe.
After an indistinct period, she walked to the bed, spiritless and dispirited.
Her body and soul, both exceedingly weary, she stepped into a deep and shattered dreamscape amidst struggle and turmoil.
Elsewhere.
Du Zhiheng and Qin Wei'er walked out from a mall.
No sooner had they reached the parking lot than a group of brash young men with dyed yellow hair surrounded them.
He had taken Qin Wei'er shopping today, driving his own car and giving his bodyguards a day off.
"Wow, what a beauty, why don't you hang out with us brothers for a bit, huh?"
One of the young men reached out his hand, attempting to touch Qin Wei'er's delicate and fair chin.
Bang...
Du Zhiheng's eyes narrowed, and he threw a punch into the young man's stomach, barking, "Scram, don't look for trouble!"
"Fuck, you've got the nerve to hit first, let's stab him!"
The group of young men bellowed viciously, pulling out knives and lunging at Du Zhiheng.
It's said that one can hardly fight against the many, and though Du Zhiheng had a towering frame and regular workouts, he was no match for knives.
In a mere blink, he was stabbed several times, his white shirt stained crimson with his blood.
"Ah... Zhiheng, police, there's a robbery here!"
Qin Wei'er frantically called for help, her screams piercing the air.
"Shit, cops are coming, let's bail!"
The young men ran off faster than rabbits.
"Wei'er, as long as you're safe... I..."
Du Zhiheng clutched his stomach and slowly collapsed to the ground.
"Zhiheng, Zhiheng..."
Qin Wei'er knelt on the ground, cradling Du Zhiheng's head, tears streaming down.
Aside from her own big brother, this was the first man who had fought desperately for her.
There was no helping it, as cliché as the "hero saving the beauty" trope was, it was incredibly effective in boosting Qin Wei'er's favorable impression of Du Zhiheng by at least three or four stories.
Hmmph...
Hmmph...
A few minutes later, the ambulance arrived, followed by the police cars, which rushed Du Zhiheng to the hospital for emergency treatment.
After completing her statement, Qin Wei'er also hurried to the hospital.
Du Zhiheng's parents, sister, and a group of bodyguards were all standing outside the emergency room.
"Uncle, Auntie..."
Qin Wei'er called out weakly.
Du Zhiheng was the only son in his family, yet for her sake, he was stabbed and severely wounded; if anything happened to him, his parents would certainly blame her.
"Ah... Wei'er, we already know what happened. Zhiheng... he just did what any man should do, protect his woman from harm!"
Du Yuan sighed deeply and said.
"That's right, Wei'er, although Zhiheng has never suffered much, nor fought with others, his willingness to fight with thugs today just shows how much he loves you and didn't want anything bad to happen to you!"
Zhou Rong said, her eyes welling up with tears.
"Hmph, who knows if my brother fell for the wrong person? She's all hesitant about getting married; she's definitely not sincere towards my brother. Those stabs might as well have been in vain!"
Du Zhiheng's sister stood with her hands on her hips, glaring at Qin Wei'er resentfully.
"Kexin, don't talk nonsense!"
Du Yuan glared at his daughter.
"Wei'er, you really should think it over. Zhiheng is so eager to marry you and he means nothing else by it, he just wants to give you a status. Surely, you don't like the kind of man who abandons his woman after seducing her, do you?"
Zhou Rong patted Qin Wei'er's arm and said earnestly.
"Auntie... once Zhiheng is well, I'll marry him!"
Qin Wei'er finally made up her mind. Since she had met a man who loved her so deeply and was willing to risk his life for her, she should marry him. Otherwise, it would be unfair to Du Zhiheng for everything he had done for her.
"Really?"
Du Yuan and Zhou Rong looked at each other, their expressions relieved.
"Yes, really!"
Qin Wei'er nodded.
"Make way, please..."
At that moment, the doctor came out pushing Du Zhiheng, his body full of tubes, and said in a stern voice, "Who is the family member of the injured? Hurry up and pay, with such severe injuries, he must be admitted to the intensive care unit!"
"I, I'm his father, I'll go right away!"
Du Yuan rushed into the elevator to make payment.
"Wei'er, Wei'er..."
Du Zhiheng weakly lifted his blood-stained arm.
"Zhiheng, I'm here..."
Qin Wei'er, with eyes rimmed red, let Du Zhiheng's hand rest gently on her face.
"You're okay, that's good..."
After uttering those strained words, Du Zhiheng's head tilted and he fainted once again.
"Zhiheng..."
Qin Wei'er was frantic.
"All right, make way, please..."
Several doctors pushed Du Zhiheng into the intensive care unit.
Phew...
Qin Wei'er took a deep breath, walked to the window, and dialed Qin Yu's number: "Brother, I've decided, I'm going to marry Zhiheng!"
