Chapter 7: Where are your previous abilities?
Jiang Yichen's voice was hoarse and cold, but it carried an unquestionable attitude, "If she finds out anything, the money from your parents will be greatly reduced."
I didn't expect him to make such a request, so I immediately expressed my loyalty, "Don't worry, I won't do that."
"Won't?"
Jiang Yichen's eyes seemed complicated for a moment, but he quickly suppressed them and said coldly, "It's good that you have this self-awareness. Come up later."
He got up and went upstairs to take a shower. I saw his cell phone on the coffee table. When I was hesitating whether to give it to him, the phone suddenly vibrated.
Lin Nan's phone number was displayed on the screen.
I looked at my phone, but my thoughts were not on the call, but on the photo of Jiang Yichen and Lin Nan on the screen.
The two of them look very close.
The cell phone rang for a long time. I thought Lin Nan might have something important to tell me. When I was about to hand the phone to Jiang Yichen, an arm suddenly stretched out from the side.
"What do you want to do?"
Jiang Yichen spoke each word with a cold tone, "Don't do anything unnecessary."
Did he think I just wanted to answer the phone?
Before I could explain, Jiang Yichen turned around and went back to the second floor, answered the phone, and explained in a gentle voice to the person on the other end of the phone.
I suddenly felt sad, so sad that I wanted to cry.
During this time here, I always feel like I'm serving others, and I no longer have the temper I used to have. Only with Jiang Yichen do I feel there is still a glimmer of hope.
But now——
The facts are clearly laid out before me, what else am I not understanding?
Taking me in as his lover was just a way for Jiang Yichen to humiliate me. He wanted to avenge me for what happened in the past.
I pretended to be calm.
I took the cup to the kitchen to get some water, but I heard the servants talking. The contempt and sarcasm in their words made me want to lose my temper on the spot.
"Isn't that person a prostitute now?"
"She used to be so arrogant and looked down on everyone. She deserves to be treated like this by Mr. Jiang now!"
"But Mr. Jiang didn't like it much either. Didn't you notice that Mr. Jiang hasn't come back in a while? I saw on the news that he seemed to have gone to an auction and brought back a necklace."
…
I listened and realized that this was the reason why Jiang Yichen disappeared recently.
It’s just a necklace, you can tell without thinking that it’s a gift for Lin Nan.
Just as I was about to leave, I heard something that made me lose my mind.
"I think the Gu family deserves what they are doing now. Who knows, they may die someday somewhere we don't know."
There were terrible screams coming from the kitchen.
By the time I realized what I had done, the cup had already fallen to the ground, and the glass fragments even left a bloody mark on my ankle.
I feel a little annoyed.
Even if he was angry, he shouldn't have done this impulsively. Jiang Yichen was still upstairs, and he would definitely come down when he heard the noise.
Just as I was thinking about how to solve this problem, my body suddenly lightened, and the familiar smell of shower gel filled my nose. I was carried sideways to the sofa.
Jiang Yichen lowered his eyes, half-knelt in front of me, his brows furrowed so tightly that a fly could be squeezed to death. He took out a medicine box from the side, disinfected it, and then put a medical wound patch on it.
The bloodstain was obviously not obvious, but after Jiang Yichen did that, it looked like I was seriously injured.
I looked up and found that the people who were in the kitchen just now also came out and stood at the door, looking at me nervously.
"What's going on?"
Jiang Yichen's voice was cold and deep, implying that he would settle the score later. "If the object just now was heavier, would you have killed someone? How are you going to explain this to me?"
"Mr. Jiang, this has nothing to do with us."
The person I hit before had blood all over his face, and he looked at me with resentment, "We were just working in the kitchen, but who knew Miss Gu would suddenly come over and hit me. I'm going to have a wound on my face from now on..."
Jiang Yichen listened to her complaints, turned to look at me, and it was obvious from his eyes that he was asking me what was going on.
I don't want to say.
When my parents hadn't gotten into trouble, they treated the servants quite well and even gave them the most red envelopes every year.
But now they can curse people to death viciously.
I seemed to see a hint of disappointment in Jiang Yichen's eyes, and my heart felt even more uncomfortable and a little aggrieved.
The soreness in my eyes could no longer be suppressed.
I haven't cried for a long time. I made a big fuss with Jiang Yichen during the divorce, and I didn't cry when I found out that he was engaged to Lin Nan and was forced to become his lover.
But now, I have a hunch that Jiang Yichen seems to be on their side and saying that I am immature, which is no different from before.
"There are surveillance cameras in the kitchen."
When I was crying hard, Jiang Yichen wiped my tears with his fingertips, but his voice was extremely cold.
"Whatever you did and said in there can be seen clearly."
After I calmed down, he continued, "If you don't need this job, I can pay you the salary and you can leave now."
The faces of the people in front of him changed.
After the Gu family left, they behaved more unscrupulously and relaxedly in the villa. After all, they had all seen how Jiang Yichen was as a son-in-law.
Even though he looks powerful now, his past cannot be easily erased.
"Mr. Jiang, it was our fault just now..."
Someone stood up and apologized to Jiang Yichen with gritted teeth.
Jiang Yichen said to those people with a cold face and a sense of oppression, "This will not happen again. As for her——"
He pointed in my direction and I got a little nervous.
"She's here just like I am here. Before you do or say anything, you'd better consider your position clearly."
I was instantly happy.
After these people left, Jiang Yichen's mocking voice rang in my ears, "You were so powerful against me before, is this the only way you can use against them?"
"Gu Mo, where are those little skills you had before? Why are they gone?"
My feelings disappeared instantly, and I even stared at the person in front of me with some anger, "I have no status here now, how can I be the same as before!"
If they had dared to say this in front of me before!
Jiang Yichen suddenly approached, pinched my chin with his fingers, and looked into my eyes. I could clearly see my own reflection in them and instantly became nervous.
The sound of the heart beating is like the beating of a drum.
The living room was very quiet. I thought Jiang Yichen must have heard the voice, because a rare smile appeared in his eyes.
How embarrassing!
The result of my anger and humiliation was that I kicked Jiang Yichen, my financial sponsor, and made him fall off the sofa.
"Jiang Yichen!"
