The Tycoon's Enchanted Mermaid

Chapter 178: Chapter 178: Are You Going to Fight Back?

“But what can I do? I can’t just watch him reach a dead end. He is the father of my child,” Li Xue said with a bitter smile.

Ah Da was surprised; she didn’t understand why Li Xue didn’t just abandon Zhou Zhixiang, knowing full well he was not a good person.

A staff member walked over with a glass of wine, the leaf-shaped rim garnished with a slice of lemon.

“Please enjoy.”

Li Xue said thank you.

After the staff member left, Li Xue turned to Ah Da and continued, “You must think I’m really stupid, and it’s okay, I think I’m beyond help, too. Like a lunatic, I let love cloud my judgement. Otherwise, how could I have been deceived into willingly getting pregnant before marriage, deceived to the point of being penniless now, with my parents seeing me as a disgrace, having a home I can’t return to, hehehe…”

“Actually, I’ve thought about turning back, but I don’t want my child to go through life fatherless. Blood ties can’t be changed, and besides, I once loved him deeply. When he knelt before me, begging desperately, I just… couldn’t remain indifferent.”

Listening, Ah Da felt an increasing pity for her.

Li Xue had fallen into a mire of her own making, and no one could save her but herself.

Li Xue lifted her hand and tucked her bangs behind her ear. Her face was beautiful, but her swollen eyes and purple corners of her mouth looked especially disheveled. “Thank you for helping me drive away Feng He earlier. If you hadn’t shown up in time, he might have beaten me to death. That scumbag has hurt quite a few actresses and online celebrities.”
