Chapter 18: Husband, can you let her have the worst of it? (Edited)
If Tang Qiaoguo saw this and knew that the two of them were not in a cold war or quarrel, but were just pretending, would tomorrow's birthday party be able to go on smoothly?
When Zhou Jibai heard Shi Huai's reminder, he prepared to stand up and distance himself from Shi Huai, not wanting to make things difficult for Shi Huai because of him.
Who knew that the next moment, Shi Huai hooked his arms around Zhou Jibai's neck, tilted his head back and kissed Zhou Jibai's lips.
Zhou Jibai was stunned.
When Tang Qiaoguo saw this scene, her eyes widened!
Only Shi Huai was secretly happy, with the corners of his lips raised, and he took the initiative to deepen the kiss.
Their lips and tongues were intertwined, and they were inseparable. Zhou Jibai put his arm around Shi Huai's slender waist and let her stick to him.
A blush of shyness spread from Zhou Jibai's ears to his cheeks. His Adam's apple bulged, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "What about Tang Qiaoguo?"
Shi Huai left his lips, glanced at the water stains on Zhou Jibai's lips, then stood on tiptoe and kissed him, wrapping her arms around Zhou Jibai's neck and refusing to let go.
In a soft voice, she said, "Then, husband, can you make her suffer the consequences?"
Looking into his wife's eyes, which were as rippling as spring water and overflowing with affection, Zhou Jibai was hooked, "Okay, wait. I'll pull her out of my arms in a moment."
Zhou Jibai had already asked He Yunxun, Ling Qingyu and others to lead people to ambush Tang Qiaoguo and the others.
They won't be able to walk out of the bar in one piece today.
Seeing the affectionate couple, Tang Qiaoguo's heart started pounding as she realized something was wrong.
Didn't Shi Huai have a terrible relationship with Zhou Jibai? Didn't he wish Zhou Jibai would die soon?!
How can these two people kiss so sweetly?!
Thinking back to Shi Huai who had always obeyed her in everything, he easily handed the magnificent SVIP card to her mother at Yue Chun Hotel that day, but later made a fool of himself and performed a series of abnormal behaviors.
Now he's back together with Zhou Jibai?!
Could it be that the investigation revealed that she and her mother had secretly drugged Shi Huai and planned to sell her to the red-light district as a prostitute?!
Otherwise, how could Shi Huai and Zhou Jibai reconcile as before?
After all, she and her mother had brainwashed Shi Huai and slandered Zhou Jibai, telling him that Zhou Jibai was deliberately using the Zhou family's power to oppress ordinary people like us. It was Zhou Jibai who took advantage of the situation and raped you! He also treated you like a reproductive tool and didn't allow you to have an abortion!
Logically, Shi Huai should have a deep hatred for Zhou Jibai! How could he possibly take the initiative to kiss Zhou Jibai!?
Shi Huai must know something!
Tang Qiaoguo took a deep breath. She wanted to go home and tell her mother immediately!
As a result, as soon as Tang Qiaoguo turned around, he was blocked by He Yunxun and Ling Qingyu.
He Yunxun narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Sister-in-law, where are you going?"
Tang Qiaoguo looked at He Yunxun and thought that no matter what, he was still a wealthy second-generation rich man, so he had to leave a good impression in front of these rich young men.
She blinked her big eyes and said softly and coquettishly, "Brother He, I drank too much today and feel dizzy. I want to go back to sleep first."
Seeing Tang Qiaoguo fawning over He Yunxun, Ling Qingyu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and sneer, "Why don't you go back and tell your friends?"
Two extremely handsome young men from wealthy families came to the bar to look for her personally. It was obvious that she was so charming that she had seduced them both! At this time, Tang Qiaoguo's confidence in her charm reached its peak.
Anyway, it's still early, and Shi Huai and the others haven't seen me yet. I might as well continue to have fun with these young masters. It won't be too late to go home and tell my mother in the early morning. If I seduce one of these rich young men by then, why should I be jealous of Shi Huai?!
"Since both brothers said so, then okay." Tang Qiaoguo twisted her waist, her legs softened, and she pounced directly on He Yunxun.
He Yunxun instinctively caught Tang Qiaoguo.
Tang Qiaoguo leaned on He Yunxun's arms and said delicately, "I've had too much to drink. Can Brother He help me get in?"
Tang Qiaoguo tried her best to seduce He Yunxun, and her coquettish voice was almost smoking.
He Yunxuan got goosebumps all over his body, and suddenly glanced at Ling Qingyu who was trying to hold back his laughter beside him.
"I can't help it."
Tang Qiaoguo played dumb and said shyly, "Hate it, Brother He, why are you saying anything embarrassing again?"
As soon as she finished her delicate words, He Yunxun put his coat over Tang Qiaoguo's head and asked the bodyguards waiting not far away to take her away.
When Tang Qiaoguo saw the light of day again, she was tied up and thrown into a huge box.
Seeing that all his friends were tied up and thrown here, crying and cursing, Tang Qiaoguo was stunned for a moment.
"Tang Qiaoguo! Look at what you've done!"
"Those young masters had no intention of playing with us! After you left, they set out to tie us up and leave us here!"
"I wish I could kill you! Tang Qiaoguo, you bitch! You promised to take us to catch a rich guy! Now you're going to lose your life!"
These people had their hands and feet tied up. If they were not tied up, they would probably have touched Tang Qiaoguo.
Just when the quarrel in the box was getting heated, the door suddenly opened.
The person who came over was Zhou Jibai.
Zhou Jibai was in a lazy and casual manner, not even bothering to open his eyes when facing the group of people in the box.
The moment Tang Qiaoguo saw Zhou Jibai appear, her brain suddenly froze.
All answers confirmed!
It was a conspiracy between Zhou Jibai and Shi Huai!
Anger surged in Tang Qiaoguo's heart, and she widened her eyes, "You and Shi Huai know everything?"
Zhou Jibai's face was as cold as frost. When he thought of all the injustices his wife had suffered at the hands of the mother and daughter, he wished he could cut the person in front of him into pieces.
"You and Mom have usurped the inheritance and house left to Shi Huai by her father, devoured her family, and even drugged and framed her, intending to ruin her life. Now it's time for you to pay the price."
Hearing Zhou Jibai coldly talk about what he had done to Shi Huai, Tang Qiaoguo's face was full of disdain.
"Can my drugging her be considered framing her? I was satisfying her! Shi Huai gets horny every day without a man. I might as well drug her and throw her into a brothel to be a professional prostitute. This would help my mother and I make money while satisfying her desires. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"
"You're defending her so much, but you probably don't know about her romantic affairs when she was in school, right? Shi Huai slept with many men when she was in college. You can't be sure that the child in his belly is not yours!"
When Zhou Jibai heard Tang Qiaoguo's insults and obscene rumors about his wife, a cold and violent aura filled the entire box.
He walked forward slowly, looking down at Tang Qiaoguo, "Do you think I will believe you just because you say a few words casually?"
Tang Qiaoguo looked up at Zhou Jibai. The paranoid oppression made her scalp numb. When she looked into his cold eyes, she felt as if she would be skinned alive by this man in the next moment.
Zhou Jibai squatted down and took out a lighter from his pocket. The lid of the lighter opened with a click. A huge flame immediately shot into Tang Qiaoguo's eyes.
Tang Qiaoguo stammered, "You, what are you going to do?!"
"Since you can so easily make up stories about people, have you ever thought about paying the corresponding price?"
Zhou Jibai reached out and pinched Tang Qiaoguo's cheeks, forcing her mouth open. Flames shot up and burned the tip of her tongue. Tears of pain streamed down Tang Qiaoguo's face, and her whole body trembled with pain.
She wanted to struggle hard, but she could not withstand Zhou Jibai's amazing strength. The bodyguard was also very tactful and clamped Tang Qiaoguo. Seeing that she was really restless, he directly cut off her two arms.
"ah--!"
Screams echoed throughout the box.
Zhou Jibai looked at his burnt tongue, then calmly put away his lighter. He then turned his gaze to the few people huddled together.
They are all Tang Qiaoguo's friends.
Noticing Zhou Jibai's gaze on them, the women were so scared that they burst into tears and kept apologizing to Zhou Jibai and Shi Huai.
Zhou Jibai: "Want to go out?"
Several people nodded frantically.
Then, Zhou Jibai pointed at Tang Qiaoguo, who was tortured and sweating all over the ground, barely surviving.
"Everyone slap her a hundred times, and then you can leave."
Fearing that Zhou Jibai would change his mind the next second, Tang Qiaoguo's friends agreed without thinking in order to save their lives!
The bodyguards untied them, and they rushed towards Tang Qiaoguo with disheveled hair and started punching and kicking her.
Tang Qiaoguo's tongue was burnt and she couldn't utter a word. She could only roar at the top of her lungs, interspersed with the crisp and loud sounds of slaps.
Zhou Jibai, a cigarette between his lips, sat on the sofa, quietly observing the scene as the master of the scene. The tiny sparks from his cigarette butt lit up, and white smoke swirled around him. He looked like a Yama from hell, devoid of any human touch, a complete madman.
Those who bully Shi Huai should pay this price.
…
After dealing with Tang Qiaoguo, Zhou Jibai originally wanted to go back to the mansion to sleep.
As soon as I arrived at the mansion, I suddenly thought of Shi Huai's soft complaints to me today.
"Turn around and go back to the old house."
"yes."
Shi Huai was half asleep when she vaguely heard something tapping on the window pane, coming from the balcony. She thought it was just the strong wind that night, so she didn't take it seriously, turned over, and went back to sleep.
Zhou Jibai, who had been squatting on the tree trunk for half an hour, was disheveled in the wind.
Outside the window of the residential building where he and Shi Huai lived was a vast expanse of lush trees. As long as Shi Huai came to the balcony courtyard, he could see Zhou Jibai squatting on a tree.
have to.
I guess someone has forgotten this sentence a long time ago.
After waiting for a long time and making sure that Shi Huai was asleep, Zhou Jibai climbed down from the tree again.
The tree was still some distance away from his and Shi Huai's balcony. If Shi Huai was there, he might have tried to act cool and jumped from the tree to the balcony in the courtyard. But since Shi Huai was not there, he still valued his life.
The next morning, Shi Huai woke up and found himself in someone's arms.
She suddenly opened her eyes and saw Zhou Jibai's handsome face, and her heart finally relaxed a little.
She gently pushed Zhou Jibai away, but Zhou Jibai hugged her even tighter and said, "Sleep a little longer."
Shi Huai sighed helplessly and patted Zhou Jibai's face: "I have to get up. I have to go to Tang Xiaoling's birthday party today."
After hearing the second half of the sentence, Zhou Jibai was reluctant to let go of Shi Huai.
It was a rare opportunity for him to sleep with Shi Huai in his arms, and he wanted to sleep with Shi Huai until he woke up naturally.
But Shi Huai has to celebrate Tang Xiaoling's birthday today and can't delay.
"When did you come back?" Shi Huai didn't rush to get up from the bed.
Zhou Jibai lazily sat up, raised his chin and pointed in the direction of the balcony: "Climb a tree."
Shi Huai thought Zhou Jibai was teasing him about the joke he made last night, "Are you born in the year of the monkey? And you climbed a tree to get here?"
Seeing that Shi Huai didn't believe him, Zhou Jibai shrugged and said, "If you don't believe me, forget it."
Shi Huai was too lazy to chat with Zhou Jibai, so he got out of bed, washed, changed his clothes, and prepared to go to the restaurant for breakfast.
Zhou Jibai couldn't go. If he appeared in front of his grandmother now, he would be beaten to death.
Come to the dining table to have breakfast.
As soon as he sat down, Ruoyu came over and asked worriedly, "Shihuai, did you see anything last night?"
"Hmm?" Shi Huai was drinking milk. When she heard her sister-in-law suddenly come over and ask her, she asked in confusion.
Ruoyu: "The security guard on patrol last night said they saw a monkey climbing a tree near your and Jibai's house. It was squatting on the tree closest to your balcony and kept throwing stones at the window. It squatted there for over half an hour before leaving."
"puff--"
Shi Huai couldn't hold it in and spat out the fresh milk in his mouth.
Seeing this, Ruoyu quickly pulled out a tissue and handed it to Shihuai, and immediately patted her back to calm her down: "Did you get scared?"
Shi Huai wiped his mouth with the tissue handed to him by Ruoyu and shook his head: "Ahem, no, no."
Did Zhou Jibai really climb a tree to find me?!
"The patrol team has already sent people to conduct a comprehensive search. Don't be afraid."
"The manor is large and has nice greenery, so it's normal for wild animals to come here. But this is the first time I've seen monkeys come here."
Shi Huai's face gradually turned red, and she didn't know whether to explain to her sister-in-law.
The culprit behind the tree-climbing scare wasn't the monkey, it was Zhou Jibai...
Breakfast was over today but the old lady still hadn't shown up. Shi Huai glanced at the time and date on his phone.
As October approaches, the old lady always becomes sentimental. It is common for her to lock herself in the attic and not come out for the whole day.
I hope I can find the old lady’s problem and help her solve it in this life.
Shi Huai received a call from Tang Xiaoling.
Tang Xiaoling: "Huai'er, is Zhou Jibai coming?"
When Shi Huai heard Tang Xiaoling ask this, he leaned lazily on the chair and pretended to be very impatient: "If he comes, I won't come."
Seeing that Shi Huai was still angry with Zhou Jibai, Tang Xiaoling was as happy as she could be. She forced a smile and said, "You two are still angry? You are still so childish. You are going to be a mother too, you should also consider the overall situation. After all, today is a family dinner. It would be a shame if you came alone without Jibai."
Tang Xiaoling advised earnestly.
If Shi Huai brought Zhou Jibai to her birthday party, she would be so proud. Wouldn't all the wealthy wives then look up to her and make her the center of attention?
When she sent the birthday party invitations to these wealthy ladies, upper-class people, and her own relatives, everyone was surprised and stunned.
The venue for Tang Xiaoling's banquet this time was the most luxurious hotel in Changjing, magnificent and splendid! This hotel had a membership threshold, and only a handful of people could hold banquets there.
No one thought that Tang Xiaoling could actually do it here! In my heart, I am more convinced that this Tang Xiaoling is really a wealthy wife, a rare talent.
How could Shi Huai not know what was in Tang Xiaoling's mind?
"Okay, since Mom said so. I'll give him a call and ask him."
"This is my good daughter."
Shi Huai hung up the phone.
If she wanted Zhou Jibai to come over and give her face, she could invite Zhou Jibai over, but she didn't know if she could afford the price.
…
Tang Xiaoling had already arrived at the magnificent hotel to welcome guests, but Tang Qiaoguo disappeared at this critical moment.
He sent me a message in the early morning, saying that he would bring me a big gift tonight, and then he disappeared without a trace.
Tang Xiaoling no longer had the heart to worry about what her daughter was doing. Even without Tang Qiaoguo by her side, she still had Shi Huai.
The dinner has begun one after another. Tang Xiaoling, dressed in a jeweled dress, looks exquisite and luxurious as she welcomes her guests and relatives at the banquet.
When the group of poor relatives in the family saw that Tang Xiaoling had really become rich, they began to flatter her and say good things about her one by one, almost praising her to the sky.
There were also wealthy ladies who used to look down on Tang Xiaoling, but when they saw that Tang Xiaoling could actually afford to hold a banquet in such a magnificent setting and even wear a high-end custom-made dress, they all became very friendly to her, chatting and laughing with her, and talking to her like a real sister.
Shi Huai arrived late on purpose, and as soon as he entered the banquet, he saw Tang Xiaoling, surrounded by the crowd and smiling like a flower.
She was wearing a slim-fitting, ruffled vintage goose yellow outfit today, and her long black hair was tied up on the side, which made her look bright, gentle, and graceful.
As soon as Shi Huai appeared, his face alone attracted everyone's attention.
"Mom." Shi Huai suppressed his nausea and walked forward to call Tang Xiaoling.
At this time, Tang Xiaoling was chatting happily with a group of rich ladies. When she saw Shi Huai appear, her smile faded a little.
"This is your daughter Qiaoguo, right? Oh my, she's absolutely stunningly beautiful."
When Mrs. Fu saw Shi Huai appear, she praised Shi Huai's beauty without hesitation.
The smile on Tang Xiaoling's face was stiff. Before she could speak, Shi Huai took her arm and pretended to be intimate: "Mom, don't you have something to talk to me about?"
"Oh, I would have forgotten if you hadn't told me."
Tang Xiaoling didn't want Shi Huai to steal her limelight, so the two of them left the public's sight with an expression of deep mother-daughter affection.
Shi Huai's name is not unfamiliar in the circle.
She got married to the second young master of the Zhou family while pregnant, and they had a quick marriage within a month. She jumped from a girl from an ordinary family to the second young lady of one of the richest families in Changjing.
A few days ago, a video of her humiliating Tang Xiaoling and Tang Qiaoguo in public at the Yuechun Building was leaked in the circle.
When people heard that she was Shi Huai, they all looked her up and down, looking at her with contempt.
"Shi Huai is truly lucky. Just because of that one night, she was able to gain entry into the Zhou family thanks to her son's status as a mother."
"Heh, a typical gold digger. Who knows if she's deliberately plotting against the second young master of the Zhou family?"
"Tang Xiaoling is really tolerant. Shi Huai gave her the cold shoulder at Yue Chun before, yet she's still willing to entertain him?"
Before Shi Huai arrived, Tang Xiaoling always defended Shi Huai in front of everyone, saying that she just did something wrong because she was young, and that her temper was just like that naturally, and she had no bad intentions.
Various labels such as "a mother's status depends on her son", "marrying with a child", "materialistic", "climbing the social ladder", and "scheming" were attached to Shi Huai. Everyone who saw Shi Huai at the banquet could not help but spit at him, and instead felt sorry for Tang Xiaoling.
As he walked along, all kinds of people looked at Shi Huai strangely, but Shi Huai didn't care.
If she keeps looking through other people's tinted glasses and lives in other people's evaluations, then every step she takes in the future will be as difficult and stiff as being pulled by a hard wire.
Tang Xiaoling and Shi Huai came to the lounge.
Shi Huai took the initiative to bring up the topic. She asked curiously, "Hey, where's Qiaoguo?"
Tang Xiaoling was also puzzled: "I don't know where that damn girl Qiaoguo has gone. She hasn't shown up yet and she won't answer my calls."
"Is that so..." Shi Huai seemed to be lost in thought. "How about I ask Zhou Jibai to go look for him? He's fine right now anyway, and it'll be a while before he can get to the banquet."
Hearing that Shi Huai had actually taken the initiative to create an opportunity for Tang Qiaoguo and Zhou Jibai, Tang Xiaoling smiled, "Then I'll trouble Jibai. Let Qiaoguo and Jibai spend more time together and improve their relationship."
She was still thinking about how to lure the snake out of its hole, but she didn't expect Tang Xiaoling to reveal her fox tail so quickly.
Shi Huai pretended not to understand and asked Tang Xiaoling, "Why do you want Qiaoguo and Jibai to improve their relationship?"
