Jiang Zhi felt his burning anger slowly subside until it completely subsided, his heart and lungs feeling as if they were frozen by a heavy, sweeping snowstorm.

He used to think that if he could completely sever ties with her, it would be something he desperately wanted.

But when faced with her undisguised rejection, a dense, persistent pain would rise in his heart, like a bee's sting—a slight, fleeting sensation.

Jiang Zhi looked at her, his eyes red, perhaps from anger.

Her sharp gaze made it seem as if she were some heinous tyrant.

He pursed his lips, his tone stiff: "Those who do evil deeds will eventually face retribution."

The proud young man, whose pride rivals that of others, has yet to learn to bend his hard bones. After speaking, he turned and left without hesitation, his back view resolute.

Jiang Yue fully sensed her idiot brother's true feelings for the female lead and rushed to seek justice for her.

Jiang Yue was so angry she wanted to laugh, her eyes stinging. She turned to look at Zhou Ji, raised her chin, and said, "Are you here to lecture me too?"

To be honest, Jiang Yue's straightforward and unevasive answer to Jiang Zhi's question was unexpected by Zhou Ji.

Zhou Ji was used to her constant lying and her tendency to shift blame when things went wrong.

Her sincerity not only made him uncomfortable, but also made him look at her with new respect.

To put it bluntly, this is a kind of heartening growth for her.

Unlike before, when people did evil and then acted aggressively and arrogantly, which was disgusting.

"no."

"That's good, I'm going to sleep now."

Jiang Yue had been drinking and was feeling a bit sleepy.

She yawned and went upstairs.

Zhou Ji followed her upstairs. The man took a shower in the bathroom, and when he came out, she was already fast asleep, buried in the blankets. Her small face, no bigger than a palm, was nestled obediently on the pillow, and her thick eyelashes fell in a beautiful arc.

Zhou Ji raised his hand and turned off the light.

In the darkness, the man easily wrapped his arms around her waist, and intertwined his fingers with hers with his other hand.

The night was as dark as the tide, and the lingering ripples of the tide seemed to flow all around.

The next day at noon, Jiang Yue slowly woke up, feeling exhausted all over. She was so tired that she couldn't even lift her limbs. She lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, silently recalling what had happened the night before.

He then cursed Zhou Ji in his mind.

He's a beast.

She was still annoyed after saying that. Why did Zhou Ji insist on going home? She didn't mind that he had another family outside.

Jiang Yue had just gotten out of bed when she was forced to accept the devastating news.

The program, which had been suspended from recording, is preparing to resume filming. It will be re-recorded this Saturday and broadcast live to the audience.

There are only three or four days left until the weekend.

In the work group, apart from the director sending out the process instructions, no one said anything unnecessary.

Jiang Yue's nickname in every group is "[Vile Little Jiang]".

Anyone who sees it will have to give it a thumbs up and praise its accuracy and vividness.

Before that, Jiang Yue needs to deal with the trouble from last night as soon as possible. If it really is a black hole left to her by the original owner, it's no big deal to take the blame.

Apologize and then compensate.

This wasn't so difficult for Her Highness; she wasn't someone who couldn't let go of things.

But if it's just a bucket of dirty water, there's no reason for her to take the blame.

The video of the pitiful girl tearfully asking why she hurt me on the deck last night has already spread in the circle.

This class-divided circle is not large; even the slightest disturbance can cause a city-wide uproar.

It's easy to guess who Zhao Shuyan is referring to without even thinking. Among the guests present that day, quite a few felt sorry for Zhao Shuyan.

After hearing that Zhao Shuyan was just a piano teacher hired by the Zhou family, Jiang Yue's actions seemed even more outrageous.

It's not like there's any deep-seated hatred; why use such methods to insult someone and ruin their reputation?

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her heartless.

The younger generation of the Zhou family didn't like this sister-in-law to begin with, and they couldn't help but bring it up in front of the elders in the family.

Zhou's mother smashed the teacup on the spot, scaring Zhou Ji's cousins ​​into silence. At the same time, they were secretly gloating, thinking that Jiang Yue was really doomed this time.

In the afternoon, Jiang Yue received a call from Zhou's mother when she went out.

"Come to the old house now."

The commanding tone made Jiang Yue uncomfortable. In the original story, this mother-in-law, who was the vice dean of the University of Political Science and Law, looked down on her and never took her seriously. She knew perfectly well that Zhou Ji would divorce her sooner or later.

Given that the other party was an elder, Jiang Yue's attitude was quite good: "Sorry, I have something to do right now, I'll be there later."

Zhou's mother was surprised that Jiang Yue dared to refuse. Her tone was neither humble nor arrogant, as if she were a completely different person. Usually, she was always timid and afraid of saying the wrong word.

"No matter how important something is, you have to put it off for me. I have something to tell you."

"You can say it over the phone, or you can say it later."

Zhou's mother didn't even bother to waste any more words with her. Before hanging up the phone, she coldly said, "If you don't come today, don't ever set foot in the Zhou family again."

Jiang Yue looked at the disconnected call and clicked her tongue. "What a lucky break!"

Isn't this a windfall?

She had no desire to return to the Zhou family and deal with those condescending elders.

Jiang Yue felt that Zhou Ji's mother probably only saw her as a nanny who could give birth. Her high social class looked down on people like her who were "lower class".

The call ended.

Zhou Yu'an and his sister cautiously glanced at their second aunt's expression. Her face was so cold it could have sent frost through it. The two siblings looked at each other and both saw the word "fuck" in each other's eyes.

If they heard correctly.

Jiang Yue actually rejected her second aunt just now?

That's incredibly audacious!

Gossip is flying around like crazy in the younger generation of the couple's family group chat:

My handsome little cousin: [My second aunt was furious, but could only vent her anger briefly, because...]

The most beautiful sister-in-law: [Tell me why!]

The most well-behaved little darling: [Because Jiang Yue ignored her second aunt.]

My dearest little darling: [Oh my god, she actually said she had something to do!!! She'll talk to me later!!!]

The most beautiful sister-in-law: [Does she really want a divorce...?]

The most beautiful sister-in-law: [Every time I see my second aunt, I unconsciously turn into a good student. It turns out that besides Zhou Ji, there really is another person in this world who isn't afraid of his mother.]

The most handsome little cousin: [What the hell? Sister-in-law, don't curse! I'm the group admin, or I'll be going to jail.]

My dearest little darling: [Leaving aside all other factors, I would call her—a role model for all of us!!!]

After a serious discussion among the VIPs in the group, they unanimously agreed that Jiang Yue was going crazy, or rather, she was so insane that she would reveal her true form in less than three seconds.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yue condescended to go to Zhao Shuyan's school.

These days, money makes things easier.

Jiang Yue instructed her assistant, Shen, to retrieve the surveillance footage from the cruise ship last night, and they easily identified the man who had attacked Zhao Shuyan.

The man is now tied up in the bodyguard's car behind.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Assistant Shen had lost count of how many times he had come to genuinely admire his wife's skill.

Decisive and efficient.
