This family left him with a very bad impression. Even if you bully your daughter, there's a limit. They really valued their daughter's life less than grass.
He couldn't help but feel a little understanding of Jiang Xue's hardships, considering how she had previously supported her family and used all her charms to seduce him.
After Ji Chen chased away these awful relatives, he slammed the door shut with a "bang" and then bolted it shut.
Jiang Xue still had a bright red handprint on her face. She stepped forward to comfort Shao Heng and Shao Meng, "Did I scare you?"
Jiang Xue hugged the two children together and gently patted their backs.
Shaoheng's little hand touched Jiang Xue's face. "Does it hurt, Auntie?"
Jiang Xue's nose stung with tears, and she shook her head, saying, "My aunt doesn't feel any pain. Didn't I fight back against them? From now on, if anyone tries to upset us, we'll fight back against them."
Shao Heng hugged Jiang Xue's neck tightly in a childish voice, "Auntie lied to me. My mother often hits me like this, and it really hurts."
Shao Heng got up and repeatedly touched Jiang Xue's face. "But she's my mother. I can't hit her back. I can only let her hit me. I'm clearly a very sensible person."
Jiang Xue was initially just feeling sad, but after hearing Shao Heng's words, she couldn't hold back her tears and they streamed down her face.
Ji Chen turned around and saw the three people hugging each other and crying loudly. He froze on the spot, and could only scratch his head anxiously.
Ji Chen had never seen a woman cry in front of him before, and he didn't know how to comfort her.
I had no choice but to take a clean towel and wipe Jiang Xue's nose and tears.
Jiang Xue took the towel and stood up. "Shaoheng, let's eat. What's past is past. From now on, your aunt will protect you."
She rummaged through the now-cold food in her bowl, saying with her head down, "Thank you for today."
Ji Chen feigned nonchalance, "Oh, it's nothing, it's nothing."
"The food is cold, I'll go heat it up."
"It's alright, Shaoheng and Shaomeng have already eaten, I'll just eat whatever I can." Jiang Xue didn't want to trouble Ji Chen too much.
Ji Chen remained silent, took the food, and went into the kitchen.
Soon, a bowl of steaming hot fried rice with the aroma of pure natural rapeseed oil was handed to Jiang Xue.
Jiang Xue's eyes were slightly red. She had never been cared for like this before, neither in her past life nor in this one.
Having been an orphan since childhood, she grew up in an orphanage. She finally made some close friends, but they were all eventually adopted.
In the workplace, she only thinks about making money and has no energy to maintain these relationships. She seems to always be a lonely person.
Having been given a second chance at life, and ending up with parents like these, I don't expect them to treat their children like ordinary parents, but at least not too outrageous.
Jiang Xue was eating the fragrant fried rice, but her throat felt blocked and she couldn't swallow it.
But she knew that Ji Chen was watching her from time to time, so she tried her best to hide her vulnerable side.
Ji Chen frowned. "Just cut ties with them completely from now on, don't take it to heart."
Jiang Xue knew that the words were rough but the reasoning was sound, and she nodded at Ji Chen with reddened eyes.
But then he thought about how Ji Chen seemed to have offended Xie Xiaotian's father because of what happened tonight.
"Thank you so much for today. Go pick up Xie Xiaotian tomorrow, but if she dares to say anything out of line again, I'll still be ruthless towards her." Jiang Xue was very grateful to Ji Chen for saving her, but she was clear about their relationship.
