Chapter 205: I Have No Tendencies to Domestic Violence
Seeing Jin Changyu close his eyes in resignation and helplessness, Jin's mother realized that she might have gotten into trouble again.
She took a deep breath and quickly pursed her lips, not daring to reply to Sang Qian.
Looking at her expression, Sang Qian already knew the answer.
Then, she slowly looked at Jin Ningxi, who was standing to the side with her eyes darting around and not daring to meet her gaze.
"Ningxi, you knew about this too?"
Jin Ningxi, who was called out, couldn't avoid it, so she could only look at her, grin awkwardly, and then nod.
"So...Grandma knew too?"
Neither she nor her daughter were the type to keep secrets from their grandmother, especially something as significant as her divorce from Jin Changyu.
Jin Ningxi whispered, "...I know."
Sang Qian felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
You all know that?
So, is she the only one in the whole world putting on an act?
Seeing that she remained silent, Jin Changyu felt a pang of panic and reached out to take her hand. "Baby, I..."
Before my hand could even touch her, she brushed it away.
Sang Qian didn't even glance at him, and continued to ask Jin Ningxi, "When did you find out?"
Jin Ningxi glanced at Jin Changyu, then looked back at Sang Qian. She couldn't hide it any longer and could only tell the truth, "It's just that... when the three of us went to Yuting Bay to find you that time, I accidentally saw your divorce certificate in my brother's study."
Sang Qian gasped for breath.
So you already knew all along?
So the feeling that their attitude towards her suddenly became strange that day was not a figment of her imagination, but because they had learned about her divorce from Jin Changyu.
Sang Qian calmed herself down and looked at Jin's mother and Jin Ningxi, "...Then why did you pretend you didn't know?"
Just watch her pretend to be affectionate with Jin Changyu every time, playing the role of Jin's daughter-in-law in front of them?
And then there's Jin's mother. With her personality, how could she not make a scene if she knew about this?
"It's him—"
The two people being questioned pointed at Jin Changyu without any mercy, shifting the blame onto him.
"..."
Jin Changyu's forehead veins throbbed, but he couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.
“Sister-in-law, it was my brother who told us to keep it from you and not let you know that we know about your divorce. It has nothing to do with us.”
Mrs. Jin added without mincing words, "Yes, he told us not to say it. You know he's the head of the family, and we dare not disobey him..."
Seeing the warning look from Jin Changyu, Jin's mother was afraid that her card would be suspended again, so she quickly got up and said, "Uh, well... I have an appointment with Mrs. Lin and the others for a charity mobilization meeting, so I have to go out now."
After saying that, she quickly left.
The living room fell silent immediately.
Jin Ningxi looked at Sang Qian's expression and asked, "Sister-in-law, you...you're not angry with my brother, are you?"
Sang Qian forced a smile, "How could that be?"
That's what she said, but Jin Changyu felt increasingly panicked as he looked at the woman who hadn't glanced at him once.
Unable to resist, he reached out and took her hand again, whispering in her ear, "Qianqian, let me explain..."
"Ningxi, I haven't visited your audiovisual room yet. May I take a look?"
Sang Qian spoke loudly to Jin Ningxi, completely ignoring Jin Changyu's explanation, but secretly pinched the flesh on the back of his hand hard.
Jin Changyu's handsome face tightened with pain, but he dared not utter a sound or pull his hand away, letting her pinch him.
"Of course."
Upon hearing this, Jin Ningxi jumped up excitedly, "Perfect timing! I have several movies saved in my collection that I haven't watched yet."
"Sister-in-law, let's go upstairs and watch a movie together."
Sang Qian shook off the hand that had been ravaged by her and stood up. "Fine."
Then he went upstairs with Jin Ningxi as if nothing had happened.
Ignoring the pain in the back of his hand, Jin Changyu quickly got up and followed.
He followed her into the audiovisual room. Jin Ningxi was playing a film, and he quickly sat down next to Sang Qian. Seeing that she still wouldn't even glance at him, he leaned closer, "Wife..."
"Don't talk while watching the movie." Sang Qian finally looked at him, but without a smile. "If you don't want to watch, then leave."
Just then, the sound of a movie starting came from the projector, and Jin Changyu immediately fell silent, not daring to say another word.
From the moment they entered the audiovisual room until they came out for dinner, Jin Changyu stayed close to Sang Qian, clinging to her, but he couldn't find a single opportunity to speak to her alone.
As for her, she acted as if nothing unpleasant had happened, still smiling at everyone in the family, but she wouldn't even glance at him, let alone give him a smile.
They practically ignored him.
Jin Changyu was anxious and flustered, and finally managed to leave the Jin family.
He thought that once he got in the car, he would have a chance to admit his mistake alone, but when he turned around after getting in the car, he saw that Sang Qian had already leaned back in the seat and closed her eyes to sleep.
"..."
Jin Changyu sat beside her, looking at her. He opened his mouth several times as if to speak, but then hesitated, afraid that she was really tired and sleepy and wanted to sleep, so as not to disturb her.
So he didn't dare say a word the whole way.
When the car arrived home and stopped in the yard, Old Chen turned to him and said, "Sir, we're home."
Jin Changyu nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."
No sooner had he finished speaking than he heard the sound of a car door opening beside him. He turned around and saw that the woman who had just been sleeping with her eyes closed had already opened the door and gotten out of the car.
"???"
So she deliberately pretended to be asleep and ignored him the whole way.
Jin Changyu hurriedly got out of the car and chased after him.
He followed her all the way into her house, but she still ignored him and didn't speak to him.
Finally unable to resist, as she was walking upstairs, Jin Changyu quickly walked up to her and stopped her.
"Baby, I was wrong. I shouldn't have lied to you."
He apologized sincerely.
"Please don't be angry."
Sang Qian, whose path was blocked, stopped and said, "I'm not angry."
His voice was calm, and he certainly didn't sound angry.
But the calmer she was, the more anxious and uneasy Jin Changyu felt.
Her actions were more intimidating than scolding, hitting, or getting angry with him, leaving him even more helpless.
“My family knows about our divorce; I didn’t mean to hide it.”
Jin Changyu, afraid she wouldn't listen, walked closer, took her hand, and said in a low, pitiful voice, "I'm scared..."
“Back then, you were so cold to me and didn’t want to give me a chance at all. I know that if you had known that your family found out about our divorce, you would have moved away from me without hesitation. If you had left, I would have had even less chance to win you back.”
As he spoke, he slowly took a step closer to her, "I'm afraid of losing you, I don't want you to leave, so... I dare not tell you."
"I'm sorry, it was despicable of me. It's understandable that you're angry, but don't keep it inside. Take it out on me, okay? Here, you can pinch or twist my hand as much as you want until you calm down."
Jin Changyu offered her the back of his hand, letting her vent her anger.
Sang Qian looked down and saw a bruise on the back of his hand, a mark left by her pinching him at the Jin family's house.
She looked away and pushed his hand away. "I don't have a tendency to abuse others."
"I didn't keep my anger inside."
