Ji Hong never concealed his dislike for Xu Xiao, and even the fact that he kept his white moonlight Zhao Ling outside was open and aboveboard.

He never handed his salary to Xu Xiao, but he never said a word to his parents about Xu Xiao's dissatisfaction with his money and his life. He even blamed Xu Xiao for anything he bought for Zhao Ling.

Ji's father and mother, who had never liked Xu Xiao, became even more disgusted with him, but Ji Hong never said anything and even condoned his parents' criticism of his wife.

It was precisely because of those things in his previous life that Ji Hong had a great sense of control, and was proud of Xu Xiao's constant obedience to him.

He found himself back in his youth, looking at Zhao Ling lying on the bed dying. He followed his memory to find the educated youth point and angrily questioned Xu Xiao.

"You've been reborn too, right? Don't play this trick on me. I'm definitely not going to marry you this time!"

Xu Xiao: "..." She also noticed that something was wrong with Ji Hong. Her eyes met the arrogance in his eyes. She said softly: "I didn't expect to see you again."

Before Ji Hong could react, she rushed forward and knocked the man down with one punch.

She clenched her fists tightly, concentrating all her strength in them. Unlike when she was fighting with Chen Bei, she would still hold back.

Ji Hong fell to the ground and stared at Xu Xiao in disbelief: "How dare you hit me! Are you crazy?"

Xu Xiao didn't answer him. She stepped forward and punched him again, striking him symmetrically. She squatted in front of Ji Hong, nonchalantly lighting a cigarette and glaring at him. "You came back so you could, but you had to come looking for a fight."

"When did I marry you?"

Ji Hong was stunned by her question. After two punches, he lost his previous arrogance.

He shrank his neck, put his hands on the ground and tried to retreat, but when he saw Xu Xiao's eyes looking at him, he stopped and swallowed his saliva: "I think, you are nineteen years old?"

When exactly did Xu Xiao marry him? For Ji Hong, this was a very unforgettable thing.

Because of Xu Xiao, he could only watch Zhao Ling leave. So, for him, that was a memory he would never forget in his life.

At this moment, he was extremely glad that he still remembered. He didn't know what happened to Xu Xiao, why her gentle personality suddenly changed, but he didn't think there was anything wrong.

After all, no matter what Xu Xiao becomes, it has nothing to do with him, and he will not marry her this time.

Seeing the luck in Ji Hong's eyes, Xu Xiao asked him again: "How many years have I been in your Ji family? When did you get together with Zhao Ling?"

"..." Ji Hong frowned. He didn't expect Xu Xiao to change so much and become even more rude. "In the second year since you came to the Ji family, Ling'er and I were truly in love. If it weren't for you, I would have married her long ago!"

Xu Xiao had already anticipated that Ji Hong would ignore the first question.

If Chen Bei wants to take all the blame on himself, then Ji Hong is the opposite. He is cowardly and has no ability, but in the end he will blame everything on women.

When his parents were sick, he had time to see Zhao Ling and take Zhao Ling shopping, but he didn't have time to take his parents to the hospital.

In fact, in the end, Ji's father and mother no longer rejected Xu Xiao, and even began to actively invite Xu Xiao to their home to play.

But she is busy with housework, taking care of her children and husband all year round. She rarely goes out. Even when she goes out, it is to buy groceries or for her children. She rarely goes out just for herself.

The burning sensation at her fingertips dragged Xu Xiao back to reality. She lowered her eyes to look at the sparks still burning in her hand, and suddenly reached down.

Looking at the approaching cigarette butt, Ji Hong's pupils trembled slightly, and even his voice trembled slightly: "Xu, Xu Xiao, what are you going to do..."

Seeing Ji Hong's shocked and even fearful expression, Xu Xiao turned back with satisfaction. She threw away the cigarette and squeezed her slender and powerful fingers, eyes empty: "I think you should understand."

Hearing this, Ji Hong held his head with both hands, and his voice came out through his arms: "Anyway, I won't marry you!"

Idiot.

Xu Xiao really didn't expect that this person still felt that she wanted to marry him.

What's the point of marrying him? To find three parents for myself, or to add another obstacle to my life?

Xu Xiao's silence greatly confirmed Ji Hong's inner thoughts. Even if he was beaten again, he would make it clear: "Xu Xiao, you and I don't like each other. If you leave me, you can still marry someone else!"

He wanted to stop there, but Xu Xiao couldn't bear it anymore and punched him again, knocking him unconscious.

After sleeping for an hour or two, Chen Nan had recovered. In the past, he had pulled all-nighters, sometimes even a whole day and night without a break.

So when she heard the noise outside, she didn't hesitate, put on her coat, walked out of the room, and ran straight to the source of the sound.

Seeing that it was Xu Xiao, she was stunned for a moment and stretched her neck to take a closer look. But Xu Xiao had her back to her, so she could only see that she was digging something.

"Sister Axiao?" Chen Nan called out as he approached.

Xu Xiao turned around: "Did you sleep well?"

"Yeah," Chen Nan nodded obediently and squatted beside Xu Xiao, "What are you doing?"

"Ji Hong is here." Xu Xiao dropped the branch in his hand and picked up a ball of something bulging in cloth.

"He's here? How dare he come! Where is he? I'll go and chase him away!" Chen Nan stood up suddenly.

Xu Xiao held her back: "Nannan, you don't have to go. Something's wrong with him. I'll go. Go boil some water first. I'll be back soon."

"Okay." Chen Nan glanced at the thing in Xu Xiao's hand and lowered his voice: "Sister Xiao, can you give him this? Didn't Fang Hui say that this is somewhat toxic?"

As a user who has used it for decades, Xu Xiao responsibly told Chen Nan: "Don't worry, the toxicity is not fatal."

In her previous life, she lived to be eighty years old.

Chen Nan felt relieved, as long as no one was killed.

After Chen Nan walked to the small kitchen next to him, Xu Xiao slowly walked forward.

Ji Hong had already woken up. He looked at Xu Xiao in horror: "What are you going to do?"

This man is not only a coward, but also a keen coward.

Xu Xiao snorted lightly, and pointed at him in annoyance: "You have more memories than you should have, which is very distressing to me. If you say anything outside-"

Ji Hong hurriedly swore, "Xu Xiao! Xu Xiao! I won't tell anyone, I swear." He held up three fingers, his face flushed, his hands still trembling, "I will never tell anyone."

He has realized that Xu Xiao is no longer the Xu Xiao he is familiar with.

Xu Xiao stretched out her left hand and put it against her mouth. The corner of her lips curled up slightly to reveal a smile. She tilted her head and said, "No, because I don't believe you."

Coincidentally, she had a good medicine here that could make people forget everything. She had brought it back from the Xu family.

At some point, the Xu family's yard had planted some incredibly gorgeous carmine flowers. Their large, deep green leaves made the flowers look like beautiful women surrounded by a protective shield.

On the second day after leaving Xu's house, on a dark and windy night, Xu Xiao and Chen Nan raided the Xu family's courtyard at night and took away all the plants in the courtyard, leaving not even a single seedling.

After Fang Hui's judgment, it was these seemingly harmless flowers and leaves that caused Xu Xiao to be hypnotized.

Orchids bear fruit, and in the end, Xu Xiao, whose life was ruined by this flower, still uses this flower to guarantee his new life.

She didn't believe Ji Hong, even if he swore solemnly. He wouldn't tell anyone else, but Zhao Ling might not.

After all, at the end of his previous life, Ji Hong gave all the inheritance left by his father and mother to Zhao Ling, for fear that his wife would take advantage of him.

Ji Hong's legs went limp and he fell to the ground again. He crawled on the ground, his voice unwilling: "I really won't tell anyone... Believe me, I really won't..."

"You say," Xu Xiao squatted down and gave him a sudden look.

A smiling face was reflected in Ji Hong's eyes, but he only felt fear and dread.

"Who can keep a secret?" she asked, pulling out a gun from her waist and pointing it at Ji Hong, laughing softly: "Dead man, or mute?"

Ji Hong fainted. There was no doubt that he was frightened to death.

"waste!"

Xu Xiao frowned in disgust. She didn't expect this man to be such a waste.

However, she also got a message - she was hypnotized and it had nothing to do with Ji Hong.

He didn't recognize the open dried flowers in her hand, and he didn't know that she was hypnotized.

Even more useless, it's useless.

"Come out." Xu Xiao turned his head and looked behind him.

After watching for a long time, Xu Xi ran out. He suppressed the fear in his heart and said, "Sister Xu, what are your instructions?"

Xu Xiao threw a half-red, half-white flower to him: "Grind this into powder and mix it with water for him to drink."

After saying that, she bent down and picked up half a dry leaf. The leaf was bigger than a palm, but she crushed it.

With a twist of her hand, she pulled out a red amulet tied with a rope. As Xu Xi was surprised, she opened the amulet, placed the small pieces inside, and then closed it and put it back in.

She moved so quickly that Xu Xi couldn't help her in time. Having already made a mistake, he couldn't afford to make another one. He turned and ran into the kitchen, returning with a half-filled bucket of cold water, still drenched in undissolved flower residue.

"Sister Xu, just leave it to me! What else do you want to do next?" Xu Xi asked in a very servile manner.

Now to him, Xu Xiao is more dangerous than Chen Bei, and she is even more difficult to deal with.

"Throw him back and don't let anyone see him. Also, let Zhao Ling sleep a few more days."

Otherwise, they would always want to cause trouble for her.

Even if it means causing trouble, there should be a limit.

"Don't worry, I will definitely take care of it." Xu Xi poured water directly into Ji Hong's mouth. Seeing that Ji Hong gritted his teeth and refused to drink it, he smiled and pinched his mouth.

With a click, Ji Hong began to drink the water. He smiled and said, "This is still good. Sister Xu, just leave it to me."

Xu Xi had indeed done a good job; the funeral was all thanks to him. Plus, he was Chen Bei's man, so she really trusted him. So Xu Xiao nodded, "I'll go in first."

Now that the things have been dug out, it's not good to bury them again. After thinking about it, Xu Xiao walked into the kitchen with the bag.

Chen Nan was sitting in front of the stove, chopping firewood. When she heard the sound, she looked up and asked, "Is it done?"

"Yes." Xu Xiao lifted Chen Nan up, sat down himself, and stuffed the package into the stove. The flames instantly devoured it.

Xu Xiao stared at the fire inside. The reflected light reflected on her face, but it did not make her look indifferent. "Nannan, let's stay at the old man's place tomorrow."

If Ji Hong could come to the educated youth center once, he could also come a second or third time. Not to mention, he was an educated youth himself, so it was natural for him to go back to the educated youth center.

"Okay." Chen Nan didn't care where he lived, as long as Xu Xiao was there.

When Xu Xi came back, he brought even worse news.
