Chapter 209 Slap her!

The next second, Xie Jinghuai saw his wife comforting the old lady, not even glancing at him.

The man's handsome face visibly darkened by one shade.

He strode over to Lin Zhixin's side, his eyes fixed on Jiang Shiyuan with a barely concealed malice.

“Brother Jinghuai…” Lin Zhixin clutched her chest, her brows furrowed, and she swayed precariously.

Seeing that she was about to fall, Xie Jinghuai stretched out his long arm and subconsciously wrapped his arm around her slender waist.

Lin Zhixin naturally leaned into the man's arms. In front of Jiang Shiyuan and the old lady, she made no attempt to hide her feelings, as if she and Xie Jinghuai were the real couple who had already gone through the wedding ceremony!

She put that saying into practice—the one who isn't loved is the mistress!

"Jing Huai! Let go of this little slut!"

The old lady, clutching her heaving chest, pounded the bed in anger. "How dare you hug and kiss your sister-in-law in front of your daughter-in-law! Do you know you're committing incest? Do you even care about A-Yuan?!"

Lin Zhixin sobbed softly against Xie Jinghuai's chest, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

These words were too harsh, and Xie Jinghuai's handsome eyebrows furrowed deeply.

However, he did not let go of Lin Zhixin's large hand on her lower back.

Jiang Shiyuan's expression was unreadable; she simply comforted the old lady in a soft voice, "Grandma, please don't get angry. Have some water first."

"Silly girl, how can you be so heartless! Your husband is behaving like this in front of you, why don't you go up and slap him?!" The old lady was full of indignation and disappointment.

Jiang Shiyuan smiled indifferently.

Xie Jinghuai has been acting like this for a long time; if she were to get angry about it, she would have been dead long ago.

"Fine, fine... You can't bring yourself to do it, you spoil him like a grandson, so I, this old woman, will take care of this bastard for you, and this lowly little whore too! I'll deal with them all!"

The old lady glared angrily and was about to get out of bed when she shouted, "Today I'll punish you on behalf of my beloved Yuan! If your Lin family has any grievances, you can come at this old woman! I'll risk everything to tear apart your ugly face, you little whore!"

Jiang Shiyuan and Aunt Feng quickly held the old man down.

"Grandma, can't you be reasonable?"

Xie Jinghuai's gaze darkened, and his voice became hoarse, "Zhixin brought gifts to visit you with good intentions. If you don't appreciate it, just accept them. Why make such a fuss?"

The old lady was not born into a prestigious family, and now, in her extreme anger, her former shrewish side was revealed:

"Pah! You don't find it disgusting, but this old woman does! Who knows if eating what she gives me will cause my intestines to rupture and my stomach to rot?!"

The old lady struggled with all her might. Although she was a sick old woman, when she got angry, Aunt Feng almost couldn't hold her down.

"Brother Jinghuai, forget it... I'm fine. Don't argue with Grandma, she's not in good health."

Lin Zhixin's pretty face was completely pale. "It's all my fault. I apologize to Grandma and to my sister... Grandma, sister, I'm so sorry."

It actually looks quite convincing.

Xie Jinghuai glanced at her and said in a deep voice, "Alright, don't blame yourself."

Instead of offering comfort, Lin Zhixin burst into tears and couldn't stop crying.

"Little girl, go... and give that bitch a good slap! Don't be afraid, Grandma will back you up!"

Seeing that Jiang Shiyuan was indifferent and unresponsive, the old lady became so anxious that she could hardly breathe. She had no choice but to force her, "If you don't do as Grandma says today... Grandma will really be angry with you! And you shouldn't come to see me again!"

Lin Zhixin pretended to be scared, but inwardly she was sneer.

Would she dare to mess with that good-for-nothing Jiang Shiyuan?

Moreover, this happened in front of Jing Huai. Unless, she wanted to make Jing Huai completely lose heart and utterly despise her!

Faced with her grandmother's insistence, Jiang Shiyuan pursed her lips, turned around, and calmly walked up to Lin Zhixin.

"Sister, I..."

The next second, Jiang Shiyuan raised her delicate hand expressionlessly and slapped Lin Zhixin hard across the face!

Snap!

The crisp sound of a slap echoed throughout the frozen hospital room.

Lin Zhixin's pale cheeks immediately turned red and swollen, but she forgot even the pain, staring blankly at Jiang Shiyuan's aloof and ethereal face with her large, round eyes.

She never expected that Jiang Shiyuan would dare to hit her.

In front of Brother Jinghuai, this bitch... how dare she?!

"Jiang Shiyuan! What's wrong with you?!" Xie Jinghuai glared angrily with his phoenix eyes and pulled Lin Zhixin behind him.

It's all about protection!

"Jinghuai, didn't you see? Grandma told me to hit him..." Jiang Shiyuan seemed frightened, her body trembling slightly as she looked at the man's angry eyes with a sense of panic.

With that charming and adorable appearance, who wouldn't be captivated?

It's just teasing, isn't it? They're following the path of the green tea bitch, leaving Lin bitch with nowhere to go.

Seeing Jiang Shiyuan's reddened eyes and the way she was about to cry, Xie Jinghuai felt a lump in his throat, unable to swallow it.

He had never seen her like this before—soft, vulnerable, and pitiful.

His heart skipped a beat.

"Hahaha! Well done, girl! You're such a good child of your grandmother!" Old Madam Xie clapped her hands with joy, her face flushed.

Lin Zhixin covered her burning cheeks, her eyes fixed on Jiang Shiyuan with a venomous glint, wishing she could pounce on her and bite her throat off!

Xie Jinghuai took a deep breath and said with restraint, "Jiang Shiyuan, don't use Grandma as an excuse. I've told you countless times, you're angry..."

With a snap, the man's handsome face turned sharply to the side.

Jiang Shiyuan was caught off guard and slapped him across the face!

"Ah! Brother Jinghuai!"

Lin Zhixin screamed in shock, as if the pain she felt was directed at his body but not at her own heart, "Sister! How could you do this? You've gone too far!"

Jiang Shiyuan decided to go all out and seize the opportunity to fully portray a young woman who rises up in retaliation.

"Why can't I do this? Why can't I do this when my husband is hugging and kissing another woman right in front of me?"

Lin Zhixin was stunned and speechless.

She had a guilty conscience and automatically assumed the role of the mistress. Faced with the wife's attack, how could she dare to utter a word?

Just like her mother, Liu Nianrou, who became her husband through a mistress.

The wife is weak, so he becomes arrogant and domineering, showing off his power.

If the original spouse is dominant, one can only develop stealthily and crawl in the shadows.

"Hahaha! Good! Well done! This brat deserves a beating! Little girl, give him a few more slaps, don't be afraid, Grandma will back you up!" The old lady became even more enthusiastic, and her condition improved a lot from her previous sickly state.

Jiang Shiyuan turned on her toes and walked up to Xie Jinghuai.

Their eyes met, and she leaned forward, tiptoed, and whispered her cherry-red lips in the man's ear:

"You can do whatever you want with her, even if you do it in front of me, I don't care, it's just a bit cringeworthy."

The warm breath sprayed onto Xie Jinghuai's earlobe, and his body under the suit trembled slightly, as if an electric current was running through his nerve endings.

“But you shouldn’t have brought her here and made Grandma angry. I can tolerate anything, but if I upset Grandma, I can’t tolerate it anymore.”

In fact, Jiang Shiyuan also had his own selfish motives.

Lin Zhixin used Guan Na and Wu Hui to frame her, almost costing her her life. Slapping her was too lenient!

...

Xie Jinghuai dragged Lin Zhixin, whose eyes were swollen from crying, to a secluded spot in the corridor.

"I specifically told you that you were not allowed to go directly to see Grandma before I arrived. Why didn't you listen?" Xie Jinghuai's phoenix eyes were filled with agitation.

He used to be very patient with Lin Zhixin.

But now, looking at this woman in front of him, crying and making him unhappy again and again.

He was getting annoyed.

"I'm sorry, Brother Jinghuai... I really didn't expect Grandma to be so angry when she saw me."

Lin Zhixin rubbed her eyes, sobbing, "Maybe... it's because my sister is here..."

The man frowned, and surprisingly, spoke up for his wife:

"Don't bring Jiang Shiyuan into everything. She does not like you, but she is not an unreasonable person."

Lin Zhixin's expression froze.

"In short, from now on, without my permission, don't see Grandma unless absolutely necessary. Especially before Grandma has surgery."

Xie Jinghuai pinched his brow in annoyance and closed his eyes. "Go back. I'll have Secretary Han take you."

"But Brother Jinghuai..."

"go back."

Lin Zhixin's lips trembled as she walked away in a disheveled state.

Xie Jinghuai sighed sullenly and turned back to the ward door, just in time to bump into Jiang Shiyuan coming out of the ward.

Jiang Shiyuan ignored him and brushed past his shoulder, but he grabbed her slender wrist and held it tightly.

"Let go," she said coldly.

Xie Jinghuai raised an eyebrow, staring at her with dark, brooding eyes. "You just let it go after slapping me?"

Jiang Shiyuan sneered, "Otherwise, are you going to fight back?"

"Jiang Shiyuan, didn't we agree that before Grandma's surgery, our relationship was just a charade?"

Xie Jinghuai touched the cheek where he had been slapped with the tip of his tongue, then suddenly pulled her forcefully back in front of him.

Immediately, he braced his strong, long arms against the wall, and with Jiang Shiyuan beneath him, slowly pressed down on her.

Jiang Shiyuan's beautiful eyes widened slightly, and she hurriedly placed her hands on his hard chest, pushing him away forcefully.

However, it remained completely still.

The man's thin lips were only inches away from hers.

Their breaths mingled, and with effortless ease, he could kiss her:

"You slapped me today, did you actually take it all for real? You couldn't stand seeing me with another woman, huh?"

Puxin Dog!

Jiang Shiyuan was almost laughing in anger. "I'll say it again, it was Grandma who told me to hit her. I don't want to upset Grandma, so I can only ask you, Mr. Xie, to do this."

"You're so stubborn. Is it so hard for you to admit you still have feelings for me, Jiang Shiyuan? I still remember you so clearly, the way you used to say you loved me and were willing to do anything for me. Now you say you don't love me, but your body and your reactions tell a different story."

Xie Jinghuai narrowed his phoenix eyes, his tone playful, "Jiang Shiyuan, in my eyes, you are completely naked, do you know that?"

Jiang Shiyuan was startled and trembled.

She discovered that since she decided to divorce Xie Jinghuai, she began to understand this man less and less, and even saw more and more of his dark, primitive, wolf-like side.

Beneath the suit lies savagery, rudeness, and vulgarity.

And they're shameless!

“I have seen you take off your clothes in front of me, one by one, and every scene is etched in my mind.”

Xie Jinghuai spoke in a low, husky voice, his eyes filled with a mixture of mockery and desire, "Now, you want to put your clothes back on, piece by piece? I doubt it'll be that easy, will it?"
