Chapter 36 Provocation Fails
Chen Jia staggered to her feet, went back to her room to get her things, glared at her mother and the others, and stormed off.
Holding her daughter-in-law's hand, Chen's mother said disappointedly, "No matter how much I try to persuade her, she just won't listen."
They're even daring to kill people now.
Sister-in-law Chen also felt sorry for Chen's mother.
Her mother-in-law was a very easy person to get along with. Although she said she favored boys over girls, she actually treated her grandsons and granddaughters equally, and her sons had what her daughters had.
She doesn't cause trouble. Since she came here, she does housework and takes care of the children. Sometimes she even pays for their food.
Such a good person, yet Chen Jia felt wronged by her mother.
It's truly disappointing that someone would do something like this for a man.
Rubbing her temples, Chen's mother sighed softly and said, "Let it be. What she does is her business. Just don't let it affect your work."
Sister-in-law Chen knew that Chen's mother's words meant that she had completely given up on Chen Jia.
"Mom, why don't we find Chen Jia a boyfriend?" Chen's sister-in-law was thinking that once Chen Jia got married, she might stop bothering Shen Xizhen and be able to live a good life.
Chen's mother shook her head with a wry smile: "You think I haven't thought about it, but it's no use."
Chen Jia's mind is entirely focused on Shen Xizhen. If someone were to secretly find a man for her to marry, who knows what kind of trouble she would cause.
Sister-in-law Chen thought about it and agreed. Chen Jia was thinking about Shen Xizhen all the time. If they were to find a man rashly, it wouldn't be a marriage alliance, it would be an enmity.
"So we're just going to ignore it?" Sister Chen asked hesitantly.
"Never mind, children and grandchildren have their own destinies. When she grows up, she should pay the price for what she did."
Seeing Chen's mother's reaction, Sister-in-law Chen said nothing more.
I just feel that Chen Jia will regret it someday.
When Chen Jia passed by Zheng Jiayu's house, she saw Zheng Jiayu drying something in the sun.
He walked in, glaring at Zheng Jiayu: "Are you very proud of making me get beaten up?"
Zheng Jiayu, who was drying chestnuts, turned to look at Chen Jia. Seeing Chen Jia's limping figure, she smiled slightly and said, "Well, I am quite proud of myself."
"But Chen Jia, you've caused me trouble for Shen Xizhen, even trying to kill me. Getting a beating is too lenient for you." If it weren't for Chen's mother's sake, she would have taken matters into her own hands.
"you……"
“I’m letting you off this time because of your mother, but it won’t be so easy next time. Chen Jia, you better remember this: I’m not the kind of person you can just bully.” Zheng Jiayu leaned closer to Chen Jia.
Chen Jia was frightened by Zheng Jiayu's cold gaze, staggered back several steps, and finally fell to the ground.
Chen Jia got up from the ground, embarrassed and angry, and glared at Zheng Jiayu: "You just wait."
Watching Chen Jia scramble away, Zheng Jiayu rolled her eyes.
They don't even have this much ability, yet they dare to come up to her and yell at her.
However, Shen Xizhen's methods are truly despicable.
Instead of causing trouble himself, he found a girl to help him.
I don't know what Chen Jia saw in Shen Xizhen.
The more Zheng Jiayu thought about it, the angrier she became. When Gu Yunting came back for dinner, she vented her frustration about the whole thing.
Gu Yunting focused on the key point, pulling Zheng Jiayu aside to examine her closely. He only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was not injured.
"It's good that you're not injured."
“Originally, I wanted to deal with Chen Jia myself, but then I remembered that Aunt Chen had reminded me about this before, and Chen Jia is her daughter, so I thought I would just return the favor. As a result, Chen Jia was beaten and kicked out of the house.”
"Aunt Chen is a very good and sensible person. She did this because she was worried that Chen Jia would implicate them." If Chen Jia had been obedient, she could have lived a good life. Unfortunately, Chen Jia did not understand her mother's good intentions at all and only thought about Shen Xizhen.
"What's so good about Shen Xizhen? Why does Chen Jia like her so much?" She'd been thinking about it all day, but she still couldn't figure it out.
There are so many good-looking, capable, and decent people here, so why did Chen Jia choose to fall for Shen Xizhen, who is all cunning and calculating?
"In the eyes of other girls, Shen Xizhen is good-looking, a doctor, and gentle." These qualities alone are enough to deceive many young girls into doing things for him.
Zheng Jiayu said with a conflicted expression, "But Chen Jia will suffer a lot if she gets together with Shen Xizhen."
“She will eventually be killed by Shen Xizhen, and we…” Although Zheng Jiayu didn’t like Chen Jia, it was still a life.
With his hand on Zheng Jiayu's shoulder, Gu Yunting comforted her, saying, "Aunt Chen must have talked to Chen Jia about this many times, but Chen Jia won't listen. She's even like a moth drawn to a flame, relentlessly pursuing Shen Xizhen."
"You can't reason with a suicidal person. Aunt Chen has said everything she needs to say. Even if you tell Chen Jia now that she will die if she gets close to Shen Xizhen, Chen Jia won't believe you. She might even think you're ruining Shen Xizhen's reputation and become your enemy." Gu Yunting knew that Zheng Jiayu must have seen something to say such a thing.
But Chen Jia's mind is now filled with Shen Xizhen. If Shen Xizhen uses a few more tricks, Chen Jia will have no chance of escaping Shen Xizhen's grasp.
Zheng Jiayu remained silent. She knew that Gu Yunting was right, but she still felt uneasy.
"Jiayu, if you want to save her, talk to her after she's been hurt by Shen Xizhen. That might be more effective." Let Chen Jia see Shen Xizhen's true colors first, then talk to Chen Jia about this. Maybe that can bring her back.
Zheng Jiayu nodded seriously, "Then let's wait and see."
Chen Jia staggered back to the treatment room.
Seeing Chen Jia like this, Shen Xizhen quickly went over to help her up, touching the bruises on Chen Jia's arm: "What happened?"
Chen Jia's pale face flushed red at Shen Xi's actions, and she stammered, "No...it's nothing."
"Chen Jia, let me treat your wound." Shen Xizhen didn't ask any questions, helped Chen Jia inside, and began to treat her wound.
Because she had many wounds on her body, Chen Jia was a little embarrassed at first, but at Shen Xizhen's insistence, Chen Jia silently lifted her clothes and asked Shen Xizhen to help treat the scars on her back.
After the wounds were treated, Chen Jia's face was completely red.
"Now can you tell me who injured you?" Shen Xizhen asked softly, sitting down next to Chen Jia.
Hearing Shen Xizhen's gentle voice, Chen Jia's eyes were full of grievance, and she told Shen Xizhen what had happened.
"I just hate Zheng Jiayu. I'm clearly my mother's daughter, but my mother treats Zheng Jiayu better than me. She even hits me for Zheng Jiayu's sake." Chen Jiayu became more and more upset as she spoke.
Zheng Jiayu was perfectly fine, yet her mother still beat her severely.
That wasn't all; they even kicked her out of the house.
"Dr. Shen, do you think my mother is being unreasonable?"
