Chapter 181 Emotional Abuse
Song Dong pondered for a moment and shook his head: "I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult. There will definitely be people who plead for Lai Laosi and Bian Xiaoxiao."
Zhou Xiye frowned: "Then let's make a big scene, until no one dares to plead for her. I think the Bian family will definitely abandon Bian Xiaoxiao."
Song Dong laughed: "I didn't expect you to have such a ruthless side. It seems I've really hit your weak spot."
Zhou Xiye remained silent. With Bian Xiaoxiao in trouble, Bian Yucheng would also be wary and would remain quiet for a while.
Give them enough time to gather evidence and completely suppress the Bian family.
Song Dong nodded: "Okay, I'll take a statement in a bit. You guys go back first, I'll handle the rest."
Jiang Zhizhi and Li Yuanchao went to give their statements. They had agreed beforehand that they would only talk about being kidnapped and that they knew nothing else because they were very scared.
After the statement was taken, Song Dong sent someone to take them back to the compound.
It was past 3 a.m. when Fang Hua got home. He went out several times but didn't see anyone.
She had just returned from her last trip and was about to call Zhou Chengzhi, who was working at the grassroots level, when Zhou Xiye brought Jiang Zhizhi back.
Seeing Jiang Zhizhi's disheveled hair, dirty clothes covered in mud, and mud splattered on her fair face, she exclaimed in surprise and went over to take Jiang Zhizhi's hand: "What happened? What happened?"
Jiang Zhizhi felt a lump in her throat from the concern, but before she could think of what to say, Zhou Xiye spoke up: "She was kidnapped by Bian Xiaoxiao's men."
"What?"
Fang Hua's voice rose in shock: "Bian Xiaoxiao hired someone to kidnap us! What does she want?! Is she taking advantage of our family's lack of support? Where is Bian Xiaoxiao?"
Jiang Zhizhi was touched by Fang Hua's attitude: "She has already been arrested."
Fang Hua sneered: "Good job catching her! I really didn't expect Bian Xiaoxiao to dare to kidnap people."
While speaking, she called out to Zhou Xiye, "Quickly help Zhizhi take off her coat. Zhizhi, go take a shower. I'm going to call and scold Wang Qinglan now."
Zhou Xiye stopped her, saying, "Mom, don't call yet. She'll definitely come to see you tomorrow. Just don't be soft-hearted."
Fang Hua rolled her eyes at Zhou Xiye: "What are you talking about? They're bullying us like this, how can I be soft-hearted?"
She now wishes she could rush up to Bian Xiaoxiao and slap her twice.
Zhou Xiye didn't say anything more, nor did he help Jiang Zhizhi take off her coat. He took off his own coat and hung it on the coat rack by the door, then walked into the house.
Jiang Zhizhi was still standing there waiting, watching Zhou Xiye walk away on his own.
My feelings went from anxiety to feeling wronged and upset.
She silently took off her clothes and placed them on the stool next to her, planning to wash them the next morning. Then she told Fang Hua and quietly went back to her room.
Seeing the two who were all lovey-dovey yesterday now acting all awkward, Fang Hua knew they were having a fight, so she wisely turned off the living room lights and went upstairs to rest.
Jiang Zhizhi entered the room, and Zhou Xiye was standing in front of the bed. He had just taken off his military uniform jacket when he heard her open the door, but he didn't even turn his head.
Jiang Zhizhi's temper flared up. She could accept criticism, but she would never accept passive-aggressive behavior!
In the past, I would bend down and pull my bag out from under the bed, then get up and go to the closet, open it, take out my clothes, and throw them on the bed.
Zhou Xiye turned around, a little surprised: "What are you going to do?"
Jiang Zhizhi ignored him, folded a piece of clothing, stuffed it into her bag, and then folded another one.
Zhou Xiye frowned: "Why are you folding clothes? Where are you going?"
Jiang Zhizhi still ignored him. Didn't he like the silent treatment? She would give him the silent treatment in return!
He continued folding the clothes slowly and then stuffed them into his bag.
Zhou Xiye finally couldn't hold back any longer and bent down to grab her wrist: "Jiang Zhizhi, where are you packing your bags to go?"
Jiang Zhizhi, who had been keeping her head down and gathering her emotions, looked up and her face was covered in tears. Her eyes were still brimming with tears as she stared at Zhou Xiye with red eyes, stubbornly trying not to let the tears fall.
Zhou Xiye was startled; the tears seemed to burn his heart as well. His voice softened involuntarily: "Why are you crying? I didn't scold you."
Jiang Zhizhi glared at him, trying not to let her tears fall, as that would make her look stubborn and pitiful. She choked out, "I know I was wrong this time. You can hit me or scold me if you want, but why are you ignoring me? Do you think I'm a troublemaker? Then I'll leave. I'm going."
"If I leave, no one will cause you any trouble. And no one will upset you anymore."
"I'm leaving, so you can find a good, obedient, and virtuous wife."
As she spoke, she continued stuffing clothes into her bag, this time a little faster and with a bit more force, looking both heartbroken and resolute.
Helpless, Zhou Xiye grabbed her hand to stop her: "When did I ever dislike you?"
Jiang Zhizhi retorted, "You ignored me the whole way here. Mom just told me, and you still won't help me take off my coat. Aren't you just complaining? What are you trying to argue about?"
Zhou Xiye felt a pang of sympathy. He took her hand, pressed her shoulder, and made her sit down on the edge of the bed. "I don't dislike you. I'm just very angry."
Jiang Zhizhi said aggrievedly, "If you're angry, you can talk to me. Ignoring me is no different from beating me up."
Zhou Xiye frowned: "You're reckless and impulsive. What if your plan goes wrong this time?"
"It's just that Bian Xiaoxiao and Lai Laosi are blindly confident. If you had met a calm and mentally strong opponent, you would never have been found today."
Jiang Zhizhi defended herself very quietly: "I know they are blindly confident, so that's why they used this reverse psychology tactic. Although there were some unexpected situations later, it was better than I expected."
"Lai Laosi tried to rape her, and she injured him. Then the two of them will fight like dogs. In the end, neither of them will be able to escape."
Zhou Xiye frowned as he looked at Jiang Zhizhi, and after a long while he sighed: "You can tell me."
Jiang Zhizhi pursed her lips: "If I told you, would you agree to us doing this? Li Yuanchao did make some mistakes, but it's precisely because he's young and inexperienced that Bian Xiaoxiao is even more confident. She thinks I'm stupid for finding such a partner."
Then she started to complain again: "I did this because I wanted to get rid of Bian Xiaoxiao, this annoying person, as soon as possible, so I could study properly. You have no idea how hard everyone in my class studies. I have the worst foundation, so I have to work really hard to catch up."
“If I’m bothered by Bian Xiaoxiao every day, how can I have the energy to study? I twisted my ankle and my fingers hurt, and you don’t even ask me about it. You’re just giving me the silent treatment.”
The more she talked, the more convinced she became of herself. She pushed Zhou Xiye's hand away and stood up. "Fine, I get it. You just don't like me that much, so you find me troublesome now. If you don't want to talk to me, then I'll leave."
As he turned to leave, Zhou Xiye sighed deeply, reached out and pulled the person from behind, sitting them on his lap.
Naturally, no one noticed the smug little joy that flashed in Jiang Zhizhi's eyes.
