She had just been provoking and mocking me, getting carried away with her triumph, when she suddenly lost her footing and fell.
What goes around comes around.
Serves you right!
I stepped forward and looked down—
Shi Xia's slender and delicate body tumbled down the teak-colored stairs, her clothes disheveled, her leather shoes falling off, and she let out a pig-like scream, accompanied by fear.
Her heavy, old suitcase had already been knocked open and slid down the stairs with a loud thud, scattering her clothes, notebooks, photos, and other items all over the stairs.
Seeing this, I was startled and, without thinking, went downstairs to check on her.
I had just reached the halfway point down the stairs when Shi Xia got up from the ground and sat up.
Her hair was disheveled, her nostrils were bleeding, her eyes were red-rimmed, her face was covered in tears, and her lips were purple. She looked extremely disheveled.
You pushed me!
Shi Xia turned her upper body around, looked up at me on the stairs, and roared like a madwoman.
I was stunned for a moment, and then I cursed in my mind.
This summer, she really knows how to spout nonsense without thinking, trying to frame me again!
I was initially worried about her when I saw her tumble down the stairs, looking quite badly injured. But now, seeing her blatant attempt to frame me, I just think she deserved it!
Even if such a person were to fall to their death on the spot, they wouldn't deserve any sympathy.
"Shi Xia, how dare you slander me? Look closely, there are several security cameras in my building's hallway recording this!" I pointed to one of the cameras, looked down at her, and said sternly.
However, these surveillance cameras do not have audio recording capabilities; they can only record video.
Shi Xia looked up at the security camera above the stairwell, completely calm. She then looked at me, raising the corners of her lips in a cheerful smile.
Her nose was covered in blood on the lower half of her face, making her look like a lunatic.
"So what? Do you think Brother Fu would check these surveillance videos to verify?" She looked at me smugly, her tone sarcastic. "It's all because of what I say that he believes..."
Her smug expression and proud tone made me so angry I wanted to kick her to death!
Thinking this, I had already gone down two steps when I saw Shi Xia suddenly clutch her chest, her brows furrowed, her features contorted, looking extremely pained.
It didn't look like he was faking it; it looked like he really fell.
"Serves you right, I hope it hurts so much!" I gloated and mocked her loudly.
Shi Xia, with her vicious and scheming nature, deserves to be gloated over!
Just then, a series of heavy, loud footsteps approached from afar.
I looked up and saw a man striding in from outside. He had a detached and indifferent expression and was wearing a classic camel-colored long trench coat in the British style.
The swirling hem of the trench coat exudes an aura of confidence, making the wearer appear like an international supermodel on the runway.
“Brother Fu…”
Shi Xia turned around and called out to him.
Her voice was weak, as if she were struggling to utter the sound from deep in her throat, and it was tinged with tears. She clutched her chest, looking extremely pained and aggrieved.
"What's wrong?!"
The man's panicked voice echoed in the large living room.
Hearing the commotion, the bodyguards outside rushed in immediately.
Fu Yanshen had already half-squatted down in front of Shi Xia, his brows furrowed and his face dark.
Seeing his precious childhood sweetheart in such a miserable state, he was heartbroken again.
I snorted and clenched my fist tightly with my fingertips.
"I... I fell down the stairs... My heart hurts so much..."
Shi Xia's voice was fragile and filled with deep longing.
Fu Yanshen was clearly flustered and immediately picked her up in a princess carry.
"Get the car ready and contact Dr. Xu!"
He turned and coldly gave orders to the bodyguard standing by the door, then turned back, slightly raising his chin, staring at me with a cold gaze.
"What happened?"
He spoke in a questioning tone.
Clearly, he thought I had bullied Shi Xia again, and that I had pushed her down the stairs.
I suppressed the pent-up frustration and bitterness welling up inside me, raised my eyebrows, crossed my arms, and looked down at him with a smirk.
"She did too many bad things, so she got her comeuppance."
My tone was gloomy, full of disdain and sarcasm.
Whether they believe me or not is irrelevant; I'm too lazy to defend myself.
Upon hearing this, Fu Yanshen was slightly taken aback. His dark eyes were fixed on me as if he wanted to see through me. Then, he glared at me fiercely.
"Sheng Qiaoqiao, get out of here!"
The man looked at me coldly and shouted sharply.
I felt like I'd been hit on the head with an iron rod; my mind went blank, my body swayed, and I almost fell over.
Fortunately, there are handrails.
"Brother Fu... I was originally... going to move out... Please, don't blame Miss..."
At this moment, Shi Xia, who was in his arms, tightly gripped his clothes with her pale and slender fingers, and spoke in a weak voice.
"Shi Xia, don't say anything, I'll take you to the hospital right away!"
Fu Yanshen bowed his head and comforted her for a moment, then strode towards the door.
Sheng Qiaoqiao, get out of here!
I was left standing there, stunned on the stairs, the words he had just yelled at me echoing in my ears. My mind was filled with the look in his eyes that had just pierced me, and the heartless, dog-like way he had forced me to divorce him and then kicked me out of this villa in my past life.
I just got home from the hospital today, and he's already kicking me out...
That's good. In this life, the timeline has been moved forward, hasn't it?
After Shi Xia's fall, he finally realized his love for her. Thinking that I was the one who hurt her, he simply told me to get lost.
Very good!
I'm finally free from being his sex slave and from warming his bed every night!
I can finally get rid of him and start a new life!
The more I thought about it, the more excited I became. I opened my mouth wide and laughed, but then a liquid flowed into my mouth, and it tasted extremely salty.
They are tears.
A piercing pain shot through my fingertips.
I lowered my head—
My hands gripped the stair railing tightly, my fingertips digging deep into the wood. My newly done rhinestone-studded manicure had been crushed and split, breaking off at the nail bed, with flesh sticking to the nail plate and bleeding continuously.
I was in so much pain that I kept gasping for breath, and large tears rolled down my cheeks.
It really hurts.
The kind that pierces your heart.
I cried my heart out for a while before I could stop. Then I contacted a moving company to help me move all my clothes, bags, jewelry, and other belongings from my walk-in closet.
I remember in my past life, I absolutely refused to move out, so Fu Yanshen ordered his people to pack up all my things and throw them out.
That scene even made the news with great fanfare.
Looking at the closet, which was full of shoes, clothes, ties, watches, cufflinks and other accessories that I had bought for Fu Yanshen, I called the people from a second-hand luxury goods store to come and have them recycle them. The underwear, socks and other items that couldn't be recycled were all packed up and thrown into the trash can.
After doing all that, I felt much better.
Stepping out of the bedroom, I stood on the stairs, looking at this home where I had lived twice and was now being evicted again, my throat tightening and feeling choked up.
It's over. I should raise a glass and celebrate.
But I still felt a tightness and blockage in my chest, a very uncomfortable feeling.
Just like last time, when I thought Fu Yanshen would go to jail.
Even though he's finished, I still don't feel satisfied.
