Chapter 32 In the Shi family, she was all alone.
After staying at home for almost a week, I'm finally feeling much better.
Shi Yang's spirits are getting better and better.
Qin Lan's sudden appearance was something Shi Yang hadn't expected.
She came not only in person, but also with a bodyguard carrying various items, all of which looked very expensive just from their packaging.
"Why are you here?" Shi Yang asked in surprise. "Ji Peiheng isn't home."
"I'm not looking for him." Qin Lan took Shi Yang's hand: "Your hands are so cold?"
Shi Yang replied, "I've always been like this. It's normal."
Qin Lan stared at her: "Still trying to hide it from me?"
Shi Yang looked up and saw that Qin Lan's face showed complete understanding. She asked, "You... you know?"
Qin Lan snorted coldly: "Such a big thing happened, and one or two of them kept it from me."
"I was afraid you would worry," Shi Yang said meekly.
"Alright, stop standing there, sit down."
Qin Lan spent a long time asking after him, "How are you feeling now?"
"Much better."
“Tell me the truth, how has Pei Heng treated you? If he hasn’t treated you well, just tell me, and I will definitely stand up for you.” Qin Lan looked her over repeatedly, afraid of seeing her aggrieved expression.
Shi Yang felt a warm glow in her heart and took her hand in return: "Mom, I'm fine, everything is alright, don't worry."
Qin Lan hugged her and sighed softly, "Yangyang, from the first time I saw you, I knew you were my daughter-in-law. Although things later turned out beyond my expectations, thankfully you are still my daughter-in-law, and I am very happy. I have always regarded you as my own daughter. But I know that this marriage is ultimately unfair to you."
Shi Yang shook her head and smiled gently: "I'm not wronged."
At least she felt the missing maternal love from her mother-in-law.
As for Ji Peiheng, he didn't treat her badly either.
After chatting for a while, Qin Lan's gaze shifted to her belly, and she said regretfully, "You've been married for so long, why is there still no sign of pregnancy?"
Shi Yang thought to herself, "They always have contraception, it would be strange if she could get pregnant."
Qin Lan always believed that as long as they had a child, their relationship would be stable.
Qin Lan muttered to herself for a while, then suddenly thought of something and asked, "Tell me the truth, is my son not very good?"
Shi Yang almost spat out the water she was drinking: "Mom, what are you thinking?"
"Otherwise, why would there be no movement?" she muttered resentfully.
Then another guess came to mind: "Yangyang, tell me the truth, you don't not want children, do you?"
Shi Yang, fearing she would be disappointed, said, "What are you thinking? These things should be left to nature."
"Yes, yes, you're right. Just let things take their course and don't put any pressure on yourself."
After sitting for a while, Qin Lan left.
Shi Yang breathed a sigh of relief; if they continued talking, she would give herself away.
In the evening, Liao Nan came to pick her up to go see Shi Xing.
When Shi Yang returned to the warehouse, he could hear cries for help coming from inside from a great distance.
Shi Yang never expected that Shi Xing would be imprisoned in the same place by Ji Peiheng.
The warehouse door was opened, and light shone in.
Shi Yang saw Shi Xing clearly.
He was wearing the same clothes as a week ago, his body covered in dirt. There were no injuries, though. It seemed Ji Peiheng was simply keeping him locked up.
A person locked in a pitch-black place, where day and night are indistinguishable, will eventually go insane. This kind of psychological attack, compared to physical physical injury, is a far greater punishment.
Upon seeing Shi Yang, Shi Xing yelled, "I knew it was you who locked me up! You better let me out right now, or I'll tell Mom and Dad, and you'll regret it!"
After he finished cursing, Shi Yang gently extended her hand.
When Liao Nan saw him, she thought she had met her younger brother and wanted to give him a gentle pat.
The next second, a crisp slap echoed throughout the warehouse.
Liao Nan stared in surprise.
Shi Xing's face was turned to one side after being slapped.
Shi Yang shook his numb palm: "Behave yourself a little better?"
"How dare you hit me, you..."
Shi Yang was too lazy to waste time on nonsense and threw another one at him.
No matter how much you preach to her brother, it's useless; he just deserves a beating.
Shi Xing wanted to curse again, but when she saw Shi Yang's raised hand, she shrank back in fear, covered her face and said, "It was clearly you who pushed my older sister into the water. I only locked you up for a while, but you had me locked up for a week and slapped me twice. Let's call it even."
Shi Yang grabbed his chin and asked, "Did Shi Yue complain to you again when you came back this time?"
“That’s not complaining,” Shi Xing retorted. “My older sister was just feeling very wronged, so she confided in me.”
Even if he didn't say it, Shi Yang could guess that Shi Xing's sudden return and his brainless actions must have been due to Shi Yue's instigation.
From childhood to adulthood, Shi Xing has always been Shi Yue's pawn. With just a little encouragement, Shi Xing will stand up for her.
"I don't care how close you and Shi Yue are as siblings, but don't mess with me again. Get lost."
Watching Shi Xing's departing figure, Shi Yang knew clearly.
He's just a spoiled brat; the truly wicked one is Shi Yue.
She remembered that when Shi Xing was learning to speak, he would crawl behind her and call her "sister" in a childish voice.
As they grew up, he and Shi Yue became closer and closer, and the two siblings worked together to deal with her.
Sitting in the car, Shi Yang kept thinking back on the things that had happened in the past few years.
She sighed heavily, not understanding why she hadn't done anything and ended up all alone.
In the Shi family, she was truly all alone.
She rested her head against the car window, lost in thought: "Assistant Liao, stop the car."
The car stopped, and she walked alone on the side of the road.
Aimless.
The streetlights cast a long shadow over her.
Liao Nan followed closely behind her, worried that something might happen to her.
