Li Yuzhu's smile froze, and her hands involuntarily clenched into fists.
"Chen Jiayi, do you think you're very lucky?"
Li Yuzhu chuckled softly, a tear sliding down her cheek.
"If it weren't for me back then, would you have been able to escape this sea of suffering?"
Chen Jiayi: "?"
She glanced at Li Yuzhu and felt that Li Yuzhu was really inexplicable.
Chen Jiayi crossed her arms, amused. "After all these years, you're still the same."
How exactly did I, in my past life, get manipulated by such a person?
Looking back, Chen Jiayi can't bring herself to criticize her past self.
Indeed, only by reading and learning more can a person break out of a narrow field.
Looking at it now, Chen Jiayi felt as if she were standing on a mountain staring at its foot.
Chen Jiayi glanced at Li Yuzhu expressionlessly and spoke somewhat irritably.
"Get out of the way."
She didn't want to talk to Li Yuzhu at all.
Li Yuzhu clearly didn't understand what the other person meant, and even took a step to the side, trying to stop Chen Jiayi.
At that moment, the people in the private room pushed open the door and saw Li Yuzhu and Chen Jiayi facing each other.
He looked at Li Yuzhu with a puzzled expression, then at Chen Jiayi.
"Chen Jiayi, do you know this Xiaoyu?"
Xiaoyu is Li Yuzhu's stage name, and she wears a name tag around her neck.
Li Yuzhu's expression froze upon hearing the man's words.
Before Chen Jiayi could even speak, she quickly offered an explanation.
"I don't know him. I just asked this classmate a question."
Seeing Li Yuzhu trying to distance herself from her, Chen Jiayi gave Li Yuzhu a half-smile.
That casual glance landed on Li Yuzhu, making her expression even stiffer.
The male students felt something was off, but Chen Jiayi simply took a step around her and walked straight past.
Seeing Chen Jiayi go inside, and the man beside her still staring at her, Li Yuzhu, who originally wanted to stop the male classmate, no longer dared to do so.
At this moment, Mom saw Li Yuzhu standing at the door, and her old face turned cold.
"Xiaoyu, what are you doing outside? The customers have complained about you!"
Li Yuzhu watched Chen Jiayi go in and come out quickly, just in time to see herself being scolded, which made her even more resentful.
She glared fiercely at Chen Jiayi, cursing inwardly: If it weren't for those two bitches, Ding Haowen and Chen Jiayi… would I have been forced to do this? If it weren't for them! Would I be in this state? It's all their fault. Ding Haowen deserves to die a horrible death, Chen Jiayi…
Ha, Chen Jiayi? He even cursed her to be poor and destitute.
Chen Jiayi glanced at Li Yuzhu, and Li Yuzhu felt even more resentful when she saw Chen Jiayi's expression.
In Chen Jiayi's current view, Li Yuzhu is not qualified for her to kick someone when they're down, because that would be too beneath her dignity.
Besides, she brought all of this upon herself; she deserved it.
So Chen Jiayi had no intention of paying any attention to her.
The nightclub madam loudly berated Li Yuzhu.
"Do you even want to keep your job? The customers in the private room are already nagging us! If you don't entertain them well and make them happy today, and they don't pay the bill, you'll be responsible for all the expenses. Now get back inside!"
Li Yuzhu quickly lowered her head and smiled awkwardly.
"Okay, okay."
Li Yuzhu turned and glared at Chen Jiayi before quickly entering the private room.
This little incident didn't interest Chen Jiayi much. After Chi Mengqiu came out, the two of them left the club directly.
Although she felt uncomfortable facing the man's gaze, Li Yuzhu still managed a smile.
"What are you looking at me for? Come in and have a drink!"
With so many people in this private room, we can save a lot of money on drinks tonight.
.
Two days later, the police came to Chen Jiayi's door.
She stared blankly at the police officer in front of her, somewhat at a loss.
"What's wrong?"
"Ms. Chen, something happened at your class reunion a couple of days ago. We need to investigate. Would it be convenient for you to come to the police station with us?"
I was informed by a serious-looking police officer, whose identity was also nationally verified.
Chen Jiayi realized that it wasn't some kind of prank.
She exclaimed "Ah!" and hesitated for a moment.
"But I have to report to my workplace later..."
Today is the day Chen Jiayi officially starts her job.
"We'll call your workplace and explain the situation for you. Is that alright? If it has nothing to do with you, you can go back and give a statement. You'll be able to go there soon."
Shen Jialiang wiped his hands and came out. "What's wrong?"
He was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and his eyes were sharp as he looked at the two people standing in the doorway.
The two people at the door felt a sense of oppression, but after Chen Jiayi offered an explanation, they quickly lost that feeling.
"I'll go with you. I'll explain the situation to my workplace."
"good."
Chen Jiayi thought about it and decided it was a good idea.
When I arrived at the police station, I saw many familiar faces.
Many of the familiar faces were classmates, and Chen Jiayi frowned, asking what had happened.
Chen Jiayi was somewhat surprised to learn that something had happened at the nightclub that day.
She then found out.
That day, several male classmates drank too much and did unspeakable things to Li Yuzhu.
Li Yuzhu's husband took the matter directly to the police station, where they are investigating the case and need everyone's cooperation in making statements.
Chen Jiayi left early that day and was unaware of what happened afterward.
It was only during the statement taking that I learned the specific details.
She had an indescribable expression on her face. Ding Haowen used to be so refined and cultured, but now she couldn't imagine what he was like anymore.
Chen Jiayi left with Chi Mengqiu that day. They left early, so everyone remembered them. Some classmates testified for them, and they were able to leave quickly.
When Chen Jiayi left the police station, she ran into Ding Haowen.
At first, Chen Jiayi did not recognize Ding Haowen.
Chen Jiayi brushed past a portly man, but he called out to her first.
Chen Jiayi frowned and looked over, feeling that the face looked somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was.
Ding Haowen hadn't expected Chen Jiayi to change so much. Looking at the increasingly youthful Chen Jiayi in front of him, a hint of regret flashed in his eyes.
Chen Jiayi was just an ordinary village woman back then, but she was prettier than most of the women in the village.
At that time, Chen Jiayi was no ordinary woman. Ding Haowen was willing to spend 66 yuan as a bride price to marry her because of her beauty.
But after marrying her, he found her tasteless.
He couldn't resist having an affair.
It was indeed very happy and exciting when I first got together with Li Yuzhu.
Ding Haowen also regretted leaving Chen Jiayi.
But the regret I felt before was nowhere near as intense as it is now.
Seeing the unfamiliar look in Chen Jiayi's eyes, Ding Haowen gave a mocking smile.
