Everyone chimed in with their own opinions, and even though Xu Jiancheng wanted nothing more than to beat Jia Yue to death, he didn't dare to make a move now.

The house she lived in belonged to her former parents-in-law. His ex-wife had passed away, leaving behind their only daughter. No matter how outrageous he was in private, as long as no one knew, it would be fine. But he would never dare to openly abuse her.

Jia Yue lowered her head, a hint of sarcasm flashing in her eyes, but no one saw it.

You cowardly bully, just wait, this is only the beginning.

However, she'll have to wait before seeking revenge. She needs to resolve her work issues quickly, otherwise, that bastard Xu Jiancheng might just resort to a desperate, all-or-nothing approach.

Finding a job can be difficult, but it can also be easy. As long as you spend the right amount of money and find the right people, finding a job is not a problem.

Money can make the devil turn the millstone. In this day and age, money is neither so useful nor so useless.

In short, we still need to make money.

Xu Jiancheng gave Jia Yue a threatening look, which frightened her so much that she lowered her head and couldn't help but tremble.

Then I received a look that wasn't inclined to condemn.

Finally, Xu Jiancheng promised not to let Jia Yue do any work for a while so she could recover properly, and only then was she let go.

Once back inside, Xu Jiancheng said in an unfriendly tone, "You certainly know how to play the victim."

Jia Yue said pitifully, "I didn't, I didn't mean to, I was really scared, sob sob sob..."

Xu Jiancheng had a headache and yelled at her, "Stop crying, you're giving me a headache. Honey, hurry up and clean up the food. If Jia Yue can't even cook properly, then don't eat it."

The stepmother advised, "How can you make things difficult for the child? Jia Yue didn't do it on purpose."

“She did it on purpose. I told her not to eat, and I mean it. Hurry up, she’s starving.”

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away."

As she spoke, the stepmother looked at Jia Yue with disapproval: "Your dad is just working too hard, he's not targeting you on purpose, don't take it to heart."

Jia Yue didn't say anything, lowered her head, went directly into her cubicle, and closed the door.

Xu Jiancheng's complaining voice came from outside the door: "Look at her, what kind of behavior is she? She dares to act like a spoiled brat. She's been spoiled rotten."

The stepmother's voice followed: "She's still a child, she doesn't know any better. She'll be fine when she grows up."

...

As they spoke, Jia Yue lay down on the bed, preparing to sleep.
