Lu Yixuan's eyes were full of sarcasm: "I wonder how long you can keep hearing this nickname. The feeling of being abandoned must be quite nice, right?"
"Who said our Ah Jin is going to be abandoned?"
Bai Ningshuang wiped the coffee stains off Xiang Jin: "Master Xiao just took A Jin to meet the Murong family. They really like A Jin and even told her to come back often."
"Some people are just jealous of our Xiang Jin, jealous that she's so popular, while she can only daydream about becoming the nationally renowned Mrs. Murong!"
"Hahaha, that's hilarious!"
...
Bai Ningshuang clutched her stomach and burst into laughter.
Lu Yixuan's face looked like she had swallowed a fly; it was extremely ugly.
"You bitch, what nonsense are you spouting! Who's jealous of her!"
"Oh, you're not jealous? Then why are you always targeting our Ah Jin? Do you have a crush on her?"
Bai Ningshuang pulled Xiang Jin's hand and walked outside.
"Lu Yixuan, wait until you're truly Mrs. Murong before you come and mock our Ah Jin! Right now, you're not even worthy to carry her shoes!"
They're not even worthy to carry my shoes!
Bai Ningshuang's deafening voice echoed throughout the mall's main entrance!
Lu Yixuan was so angry that she trembled all over.
She gritted her teeth, her blood rushing to her head, and she wanted nothing more than to tear Bai Ningshuang's mouth apart.
However, Jiang Wanru held on tightly and refused to let go no matter what.
"Yixuan, calm down. If you want to achieve great things, you have to stay calm, you know?" Jiang Wanru advised her.
"But Mom, that's too much! That's not how it is at all!"
"What do you mean, 'don't you want to marry Master Xiao, don't you want to become Mrs. Murong, don't you want to become that person who shines with brilliance'?" Jiang Wanru asked calmly.
"I……"
Of course she wanted to.
I really want to.
I'm thinking about it like crazy.
But what can be done? Xiang Jin is Xiao Gege's wife. Just like Bai Ning Shuang said, she's not even worthy of carrying her shoes now.
Brother Xiao even took her to meet the Murong family. Wasn't this a tacit admission of Xiang Jin's identity? She was angry, she hated, and she even wanted to kill someone!
"If you want to, you have to calm down and wait, understand?"
"Madam Murong said they will divorce in two months. At least for now, you can't cause trouble and you can't let her look down on you, understand?"
Lu Yixuan gradually calmed down.
"Mom, you're right. The better days are yet to come. I must be patient and endure until the day I get through it all."
When the time comes, she will definitely repay Xiang Jin tenfold for the humiliation she has suffered!
...
Bai Ningshuang pulled Xiang Jin out to hail a taxi.
“This Lu Yixuan is simply delusional. Why doesn’t she take a piss and look at herself in the mirror? Besides having a better family background, what else does she have that you can’t compare to?” Bai Ningshuang said while cleaning up the coffee stains.
Xiang Jin smiled and said, "Shuangshuang is right."
"If Master Xiao doesn't even fancy you, how could he possibly fancy her?!"
Xiang Jin continued to laugh.
"Oh no, no, it's because Master Xiao is blind that he doesn't like you! Ah Jin, I misspoke, please don't mind me."
“You’re absolutely right. I’m definitely better than Lu Yixuan. Murong Xiao is truly blind.” Xiang Jin said with her big, fox-like eyes, her expression serious.
Bai Ningshuang burst out laughing.
She pinched Xiang Jin's face and exclaimed, "How can you be so cute? You're so adorable! If I were a man, I wouldn't even have a chance with Master Xiao."
"But Master Xiao is really something. Why is he like a piece of poop in a latrine, always attracting flies?"
Xiang Jin nodded in complete agreement: "Exactly."
"That's it? That's it."
A deep, magnetic voice slowly came from behind—
Xiang Jin and Bai Ning both froze instantly.
Looking back at the source of the sound, Murong Xiao was standing in front of the Bentley, walking towards the two of them.
The man wore a sharp, light gray suit. He was tall and had a powerful presence. His well-defined and perfectly proportioned face was the kind of killer that any young girl would want.
Except for the upward curve of the corners of his mouth.
His seemingly indifferent smile and gentlemanly demeanor were actually as chilling as a vast expanse of snow.
The moment Xiang Jin saw Murong Xiao, she felt as if she were dead.
Bai Ningshuang, standing beside her, looked even more ashen-faced.
In a short moment, she even decided what kind of grass to plant on her grave and clearly thought about the words on the tombstone: "I am Bai Ningshuang, died from talking too much."
"Why are you here..." Xiang Jin asked softly.
Didn't this person go abroad? What, do they need to come back to clock in?
Murong Xiao's expression remained cold.
The gradually sinking aura, the oppressive aura, felt as if it wanted to devour her alive.
"Master Xiao, I was wrong. I was talking nonsense. Please don't blame Ajin. This has nothing to do with her!" Bai Ningshuang stood in front of Xiang Jin with righteous indignation.
Murong Xiao narrowed his eyes, his gaze still fixed on Xiang Jin.
"Shuangshuang didn't do it on purpose, please don't blame her, okay?"
"Get in the car, go home!" he snapped.
Xiang Jin shuddered.
She glanced at Bai Ningshuang a few times to reassure her before following Murong Xiao into the car.
The car drove towards the Lakeside Villa.
Murong Xiao's face remained cold.
Xiang Jin couldn't take it anymore.
She shifted slightly to the side and said softly, "I'm sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn't have spoken ill of you behind your back..."
Murong Xiao snorted coldly.
"You're quick to admit your mistakes, but you're even more enthusiastic when I'm not around, aren't you?" A cold, unsettling gaze fixed on her small face.
Xiang Jin chuckled dryly, "No, no. It's just that so many things have happened recently, and Shuangshuang was just speaking her mind, which is why she spoke without thinking."
"Speaking from the heart?" A dangerous aura was approaching.
"Oh no, that's nonsense, it's utter nonsense."
This damn will to survive.
The Bentley stopped in front of the Lakeside Villa, and the two men got out one after the other, each heading towards their own room.
Halfway there, Xiang Jin's hand was suddenly grabbed.
"Those things on the internet will be fine in a while." Surprisingly, his tone was very gentle.
Xiang Jin nodded: "I know, I won't mind."
"Don't you care if people say you're a mistress?" He scoffed, his dark, night-like pupils fixed on her.
Xiang Jin thought for a moment.
Just as he was about to speak, Murong Xiao spoke again: "Of course you wouldn't care. You never care about my affairs. I shouldn't have asked."
The Xiang Jin who cared for him, protected him, and gave him warmth has long since disappeared.
On the day he wasn't Feng Jianian.
The door to the room was closed.
Xiang Jin stared at the disappearing figure, remaining silent for a long time.
Only when my legs went numb and my hands and feet were ice cold did I open the door and go back to my room.
*
Eat breakfast in the morning.
Xiang Jin, munching on corn, asked seemingly casually, "Hasn't Murong Xiao gotten up yet?"
"Young Master's flight was at dawn; he's already gone abroad. Didn't Madam know?" Zhou Zhou brushed the dog's fur. The still-sleepy Canna was lazily lying on the floor, yawning.
