Chapter 24: Just a Show

My face turned pale as I stared at him intently. I really wanted to find a needle to sew up his rotten mouth. We stared at each other for a few seconds, thought about it, and decided to give up. There was no point in explaining too much to a cold-blooded animal like Jiang Ruohe.

I turned around and sat back on the sofa angrily, ignoring him.

Jiang Ruohe seemed to feel that he had said too much, and said that his mother didn't get any good thing either, and his grandfather asked her to go to Africa for a month.

I snorted coldly and turned my face away. Seeing that I didn't say anything, Jiang Ruohe said, "Just stay here," and turned to leave.

When Jiang Ruohe opened the door, he called out "Auntie".

I turned around and saw Jiang Ting standing outside the door in a dress. She glanced at Jiang Ruohe, then looked at me in the room, and her face turned cold.

"Why are you here?"

"Something happened." Jiang Ruohe closed the door and went downstairs with Jiang Ting.

After a while, Jiang Ruohe called me and asked me to come downstairs. He was waiting for me downstairs.

When I was going down the stairs, I saw Jiang Ruohe talking to someone. A waiter happened to come up with a plate. When he passed by me, he tilted his body and a cup of hot water on the plate spilled on my arm. It hurt so much that I almost cried. I hurriedly looked at my elbow and it was already red.

Jiang Ruohe quickly walked up the stairs, pushed the waiter away, and glared at him fiercely.

"What's going on? Don't you have eyes?"

Jiang Ruohe's scolding made the waiter panic. He quickly apologized and said that he was not walking steadily for a moment.

Jiang Ruohe tore off his work badge behind him and said that he would deal with him later. Then he pulled me back to the lounge and washed my arms by the sink.

I stood by the pool in a daze, looking at Jiang Ruohe. He was staring intently at my swollen arm. A strange feeling flashed through my mind. It seems that he is not as bad as I thought.

"Sit still on the sofa. I'll get some ointment for the burn."

After a while, Jiang Ruohe came in with ointment and a cotton swab, sat next to me, took my left hand, and carefully helped me apply it.

I looked up at his cold and handsome face and lost myself in thought.

When I came back to my senses, I found that he suddenly stopped and stared at my arm in surprise. A strange look flashed across his eyes, and then it turned into calmness. He looked up at me.

"Don't think I'm really nice to you, I'm just pretending."

I glared at him and held my breath. Fortunately, I didn't say thank you to him. I said in a bad mood that I had never thought of it that way.

"That's good. Apply it yourself. I'll go out for a while." Jiang Ruohe threw the ointment to me, opened the door and went out.

"It's incomprehensible." I complained.

After applying the ointment, I got up and went out to look for Jiang Ruohe, and found him talking on the phone in the corridor.

"Aunt, I hope you can be kind enough to forgive me. The photo I sent to the newspaper last time was not Yu Xiaowan."

I stood behind him in shock, and then I realized that the waiter had done it on purpose, and the person behind it was Jiang Ting.

Jiang Ruohe noticed me, hung up the phone, walked towards me, reached out to hold my hand and said someone was about to arrive. I shook his hand away and glared at Jiang Ruohe.

Except for Grandpa and Aunt Liu, there is really no good person in their Jiang family. I walked past Jiang Ruohe and planned to leave. Jiang Ruohe asked me where I was going, but I ignored him.

After I took a few steps, Jiang Ruohe pulled my hand forcefully, pushed me against the wall of the corridor, and looked at me coldly.

"Stop it."

"Am I just going to let you bully me?" I glared at him with gritted teeth.

"Are you going to say again that what I did to Huang Minwei was a hundred times more vicious than what your aunt did?" He almost shouted.

"Jiang Ruohe, let me tell you, about Huang Minwei's matter..." Jiang Ruohe interrupted her before she could finish her words.

"Yu Xiaowan, if you say anything bad to me again, I'll fuck you right there."
