Yan Jiaping had already denied it vehemently in front of Fu Yanting, so admitting it now would be a complete loss of face.
Therefore, he decided to stick to his guns and deny it to the very end.
After all, this was just surveillance footage and didn't prove anything.
He could still clear himself.
With this thought, Yan Jiaping seemed to make up his mind.
Looking at Fu Yanting, Yan Jiaping asked guiltily, "Mr. Fu, what do you mean by this? Xi Xi is my daughter, would I kidnap my own daughter?"
Fu Yanting looked at Yan Jiaping and let out a cold scoff, saying nothing more.
Yan Jiaping had no idea what schemes Fu Yanting was hatching.
He looked at Fu Yanting, not daring to even breathe.
Seeing that their focus was all on that wretched Yan Xi, Yan Xiao felt even more resentful.
This man in front of him should have been her husband.
But now, his entire focus was on Yan Xi.
Fu Yanting's phone rang, it was Xin Yi calling. Fu Yanting glanced at Yan Jiaping, and for some reason, Yan Jiaping felt a cruel gaze from Fu Yanting.
It was as if he was about to be devoured.
Yan Jiaping couldn't help but swallow.
Fu Yanting pressed the answer button, switched on the speakerphone, and Xin Yi's voice came through the phone.
"Sir, the young madam has been found. It's the same mansion where the old madam was kidnapped, and all the properties are under Yan Jiaping's name. This shows that it was all planned by Yan Jiaping."
Fu Yanting didn't respond and directly hung up.
He looked up at Yan Jiaping.
Yan Jiaping instantly caved, kneeling directly before Fu Yanting and begging, "Mr. Fu, please be magnanimous. I truly didn't mean to. Xi Xi is my daughter, how could I kidnap her? She was disobedient, so I had no choice but to send her back to our old ancestral home to repent before our ancestors."
"Disobedient? In what way? Do you mean she didn't do what you wanted, like sleeping with other men?"
Yan Jiaping was surprised that Fu Yanting knew about this and still held a grudge.
He couldn't help but wonder if Fu Yanting's strong feelings about this meant he had already developed genuine feelings for Yan Xi.
If that were the case, could he perhaps appeal to family ties and influence Yan Xi to plead on his behalf to Fu Yanting?
"Remember, Yan Xi is my wife now. Only I can bully her. If anyone else wants to bully her, they have to get past me first."
After saying that, Fu Yanting turned and left.
As he reached the doorway, Fu Yanting, with his back to Yan Jiaping, said, "The Yan family must also bid farewell to this era."
With that, he left without looking back.
"Mom, it's all Yan Xi's fault. Ever since she married Fu Yanting, our family has been restless. She must have said a lot of bad things about us."
Yan Xiao said resentfully, watching Fu Yanting's retreating back.
Kong Yalan snorted coldly and said irritably, "An insatiable wolf."
"Xiao Xiao, don't worry. I'll talk to Li Qin properly about this. No matter what, you marry into the Fu family first. Overwhelm Yan Xi with your presence. This Fu family isn't just about Fu Yanting, there's another man, isn't there?"
That rich man, always idle, and not as handsome as Fu Yanting.
Yan Xiao was unconvinced, but at this moment, there seemed to be no other option. To achieve great things, one must first learn to swallow one's pride.
Yan Xiao nodded at Kong Yalan.
After Xin Yi rescued Yan Xi, she had fainted. She was sent to the hospital, and when Fu Yanting arrived, he was relieved to see that she had only fainted and was not seriously injured.
Yan Xi opened her eyes and saw herself lying on a hospital bed. Fu Yanting was by her bedside, looking concerned. Seeing that Yan Xi had woken up, he began to ask about her condition with concern.
Yan Xi gently placed her hands on her lower abdomen. She was fine.
She had been held captive by Yan Jiaping in their old country house for the past two days and hadn't eaten much. Yan Xi was worried that the baby in her womb would suffer from poor development.
But Fu Yanting didn't want this child, and Yan Xi couldn't inquire about the baby's condition in front of Fu Yanting.
"How did I get to the hospital?"
Yan Xi asked weakly.
Her voice was very soft, and if Fu Yanting hadn't had sharp hearing, he might not have even heard Yan Xi asking.
Fu Yanting recounted how Xin Yi had gone to the old house to rescue her.
Yan Xi closed her eyes.
The incident of her kidnapping by Yan Jiaping felt like it happened only yesterday.
"Where is Yi Yi? Was the surgery successful?"
Fu Yanting's face darkened. Fu Yanting had been so worried about Yan Xi during the two days she was kidnapped by Yan Jiaping, he hadn't slept at all. He had punished the Yan family and then sent Xin Yi to rescue Yan Xi.
But when Yan Xi opened her eyes, she didn't even care about him.
Even Yan Yi's place in Yan Xi's heart was more important than his.
Fu Yanting knew that being jealous over something like this was pointless, but he was still jealous.
"Yan Xi, look closely. I am your man. Now that I'm by your side, you are not allowed to think of other men."
After saying that, Fu Yanting, fearing that Yan Xi would retort, added, "Not even Yan Yi."
Yan Xi found Fu Yanting's behavior very childish and didn't want to argue with him. She was very weak from the ordeal of the past few days and needed to rest.
Yan Xi turned, and as she pulled her hand, the IV drip swayed a few times.
Fu Yanting quickly grabbed Yan Xi's hand and said with a dark expression, "You're an adult now, can't you learn to take care of yourself?"
"I don't need an IV drip."
Yan Xi said, and ignoring Fu Yanting's objections, she pulled out the needle.
Blood flowed down her arm.
But Yan Xi felt no pain.
She was pregnant now.
She couldn't have an IV drip; these medications would be bad for the fetus.
Seeing Yan Xi so stubborn and so careless with her own body, Fu Yanting also became angry.
He slammed the door and left.
After Fu Yanting left Yan Xi's hospital room, Shi Wenwen emerged from a corner not far away.
She never expected Yan Xi to be in such a state.
Seeing Fu Yanting so angry, he would definitely ignore Yan Xi from now on.
She always knew that in this world, besides her, no other woman could stay by Fu Yanting's side for long.
Look, her chance had arrived.
With this thought, a slight smile curved Shi Wenwen's lips. She took out her phone and dialed a number.
The call rang twice before the person on the other end picked up.
Shi Wenwen's lips parted slightly as she said, "Haven't you always loved Fu Yanting? Now, his legal wife, Yan Xi, is carrying his child. As long as that child is gone, she and Fu Yanting will be completely separated."
"Who are you? Why are you telling me this?" Yan Xiao stood up abruptly and asked.
Shi Wenwen sneered and then directly hung up the phone.
