Chapter 1 Have the child for me, and your mother can be saved

"Jiang Ruan, today is your ovulation day. Serve the man inside well."

"If you get pregnant with his child, your mother can be saved."

Jiang Ruan felt ice-cold all over. Thinking of her critically ill mother, she bit her lip.

"Fine, I agree to your terms."

She was pushed into the presidential suite.

The dark room was filled with the strong scent of alcohol.

In the next second, as the world spun round, Jiang Ruan cried out as the man pulled her down beneath him.

The man's breath was scorching hot against her face.

His aggressive, dark eyes brushed over her face as he said both forcefully and pitifully, "Yuning, you have come."

"Don't be afraid..."

"I will marry you."

He stroked her face over and over, extremely gentle, and then a fiery, domineering kiss descended, the drugs stirring within him, reaching the limits of his endurance.

Underneath him was soft and tender; the girl with fearful eyes in her watery gaze further incited his possessiveness.

Pain swept throughout her body, a tear fell down Jiang Ruan's cheek, she raised her hand to cover her mouth tightly, being forced to endure it.

The man was unrestrained, taking frantically.

Again and again, he called out in a low voice by her ear: "Yuning, Yuning..."

But she wasn't Jiang Yuning.

She was just a substitute that Jiang Yuning had found, a tool for bearing children!

Only because Jiang Yuning was infertile.

And the Zhan family matriarch demanded a pregnant bride before she could enter the family.

The Jiang Family adopted her, and with her mother's illness, she had no right to refuse!

For three whole days, she was confined in the dim house, where he held her as they bathed, personally fed her, and also took from her body fervently and ceaselessly, deeply loving her softness.

He treated her like a precious doll; in moments of intense passion, he bit her ear and repeated, "You will be the death of me."

"I have grown to like you more and more."

"I really want to marry you and take you home soon."

He took off the signet ring of the Zhan Family patriarch that he always wore and slipped it onto her middle finger.

Jiang Ruan's heart trembled fiercely, her hands involuntarily wrapped around his neck. For the first time, someone said they liked her...

At dawn, she picked up the clothes from the floor, dressed herself, and cast a final glance at the man who, even in sleep, seemed too handsome to look at directly.

She didn't dare to linger, hastily leaving the room.

The Jiang Family

Jiang Yuning looked down at her from her lofty position, her voice filled with disgust, "Come here."

Jiang Ruan didn't dare to resist, stepping forward bit by bit.

"Strip her!"

Jiang Ruan immediately covered her clothes.

The servant walked toward Jiang Ruan and rudely tore off her garments.

"No..."

The shirt was ripped, exposing her marked body to the air.

Jiang Yuning's eyes instantly reddened with jealousy.

If it weren't for her having an abortion before, making her infertile,

How could the opportunity to sleep with Zhan Xiaohan, a man in power of the Zhan Family, ever fall to Jiang Ruan, this slut?!

She walked over and raised her hand, giving Jiang Ruan a vicious slap.

"Slut! Just like your mother, that vixen, knowing how to seduce men!"

What adoption? This little wench looks 80% like her! Clearly, she was the love child her father deliberately brought home to raise!

Jiang Ruan's face burned with pain, and her body trembled. Her pride was crushed underfoot.

Her eyes were slightly red, but she was accustomed to this. In the Jiang Family for more than a decade, beatings and abuse were normal.

All she cared about was her mother's illness!

Jiang Ruan suddenly looked straight at Jiang Yuning, "Miss, you promised that as long as I... did this in your place, you'd get a Divine Doctor from abroad to treat my mom."

Jiang Yuning gave a cold smile and leaned in maliciously, "What I promised was that I'd seek treatment for your mother after you get pregnant with the child."

"So you better pray that your encounter wasn't in vain, and that you get pregnant with the Zhan heir soon!"

She coldly ordered, "Lock her in the back yard."

"The Zhan Family will be coming to ask for her hand in marriage soon—don't let this wretch ruin my good fortune!"

She absolutely couldn't let her appear before Zhan Xiaohan again!

The stretch Lincoln drove majestically toward the Jiang Family

A man of unapproachable elegance stepped out of the car, and the Jiang family members instantly greeted him with great enthusiasm.

"Mr. Zhan, you've arrived!"

Zhan Xiaohan's gaze fell on the exquisitely dressed girl with the sweet smile, and his heart skipped a beat, suddenly uncertain whether the obedient girl from last night was her.

"This morning you..."

Jiang Yuning quickly said, "I'm sorry, I was really too tired this morning, embarrassed to face you, so I left first."

Hearing this, Zhan Xiaohan nodded and said in a faint voice, "Yuning, these past three days, you have worked hard."

The old lady was eager for an heir and drugged him, bringing Jiang Yuning to him.

He had no interest in this business marriage, but these past three days... the girl had addicted him, had whetted his appetite.

However, Jiang Yuning's face suddenly stiffened, a strong wave of jealousy flashing in her eyes.

The man before her was even more handsome than in the magazines!

Moreover, he was the man at the very pinnacle of Capital City, the one in power of the Zhan Family!

She slowly clenched her fist, putting on a shy smile, stepped forward, and softly clung to his arm, "It was not hard; I was willing."

Jiang's father and mother were overjoyed by the trove of betrothal gifts brought in by the Zhan family!

As expected of a wealthy family among wealthy families! They were truly generous with their offers.

Once Yuning marries and becomes the young mistress of the Zhan Family, oh, the boundless wealth and honor!

The whole family welcomed Zhan Xiaohan with smiles on their faces.

In the backyard,

Jiang Ruan received a call from the hospital.

"Miss Jiang, your mother is critically ill! She urgently needs surgery, and we need a family member's signature!"

"I'll be right there!" Jiang Ruan stood up abruptly and headed for the door.

The servant blocked her way, menacing as a fierce god.

"I need to go to the hospital, let me go!"
