Chapter 8 I'm Sorry, Zhou Jibai
Old Mrs. Zhou sat in the upper seat, staring at the two people sitting in front of her with a serious expression.
Shi Huai's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he had been discovered while secretly delivering food to Zhou Jibai?
She looked at Zhou Jibai for help and quietly tugged at his sleeve. Her innocent and slightly timid eyes seemed to be saying.
【what to do? 】
Zhou Jibai glanced at the hand that was clinging to his sleeve, curled the corners of his lips slightly, and patted the back of her hand with his palm.
Then he raised his voice and said, "Grandma, what's going on? Tell me."
Old Madam Zhou took a deep breath and slammed the table twice in a dignified manner: "You have been set up."
"What?" Shi Huai pretended to be ignorant and tilted his head to look at Mrs. Zhou. "What do you mean by setting up a trap?"
Zhou Jibai's expression was solemn and his brows suddenly furrowed.
An assistant handed Shi Huai the information they had collected over the past two days.
Then, at the old lady's glance, all the servants in the restaurant retreated.
The video currently playing was the scene where she and Zhou Jibai first met.
A group of obscene and low-class hooligans surrounded me when I was already intoxicated, and wanted to take advantage of me.
Shi Huai was like a helpless and weak rabbit, tears welling up in his eyes, his consciousness blurred, and he kept muttering, "Who are you?"
"Us? Hahahaha, we are the ones your stepmother called to help you with the antidote!"
The obscene words fell into Shi Huai's ears. She looked at the videotape in front of her and couldn't help but clench her fists, tears gathering in her eyes.
Shi Huai was helpless, her consciousness completely blurred. Even though she was forced into a corner, she still did not forget to ask for help. Even if it was a weak and incompetent voice, as long as there was a moment of hope, she should hold on tightly.
"Is there anyone who can come and save me, save me, save me!"
"have."
The simple and low sound of the word was like a powerful hammer hitting Shi Huai's heart which was entangled with despair, chiseling out a beam of dazzling and strong light.
Zhou Jibai walked out surrounded by a group of people. He was dressed in a dark black suit and looked cool and handsome, like a gust of free wild wind that did not make noise for anyone.
He waved his hand and called a group of bodyguards, who beat them up severely.
Then he held the soft body of Shi Huai in his arms. He lowered his eyes to look at Shi Huai's flushed cheeks, as if thinking about something, and his expression looked very solemn.
Zhou Jibai himself had been drugged by a rising starlet. He endured the discomfort and whispered, "I'll take you to the hospital."
Shi Huai buried his entire face in his arms and shook his head frantically: "Wuwu, no. It hurts. Can you take me away? Can you be my antidote?"
As she spoke, she stood on tiptoe, hugged Zhou Jibai's neck with her arms, and her hot breath sprayed on Zhou Jibai's Adam's apple. Then she opened her red lips slightly and bit it gently.
The next moment, Zhou Jibai picked him up horizontally.
The video ends here.
Although Shi Huai knew that the truth was that her stepmother was behind the incident, when the evidence was presented to her, she couldn't help but shed tears.
My heart was pounding and I felt so depressed and uncomfortable.
She pursed her lips and looked at Zhou Jibai, who had the same stern expression beside her.
Then, Zhou Jibai glanced at her sideways, and was slightly stunned when he saw her tears of true emotion. He threw a pack of tissues in Shi Huai's hand, and then took the evidence found by his grandmother and read it one by one.
Transfer records, chat records, and recordings.
The audio coming from the recorder was a conversation between stepmother Tang Xiaoling and the brothel owner.
The madam generously praised Shi Huai's stunning beauty, "Oh, your daughter is absolutely stunning! The men here like this type. Why are you selling her so cheaply? Could it be..."
Tang Xiaoling could hear the concerns in the madam's heart, "Don't worry, I've asked around, and this girl is still a virgin! I guarantee she'll be your cash cow when the time comes."
"Is this girl still willing to tell you this?"
"Oh, she's just like a dog I raise. A love-starved bastard who comes over at the mere beckoning of a finger. Does she dare to say no to anything I ask her to do?"
"She killed her own mother, and yet she still treats me as her biological mother? I'm so unlucky. If I weren't waiting for the house her parents left her to be transferred to me, how could I support this jinx?"
As soon as Tang Xiaoling finished speaking, Tang Ru's sweet voice was heard again.
"Humph, Mom has been acting with you for so long, and you've been belittling me in front of her, and I still have to put up with her. I don't have any credit, but I've worked hard. When she makes money in the adult entertainment industry, she has to give me half of it!"
"Okay, okay, when Mommy coaxes her into buying the house, she'll add your name to the property deed."
"That's more like it! Shi Huai, that bitch, I always dislike her. In a few days, she will go to hell!"
"By the way, will you keep our chat today a secret?"
"Of course!" the madam vowed. "All our transactions here are under a confidentiality agreement. Don't worry about that. I guarantee you'll continue to be a good person in front of your stepdaughter."
The vicious and harsh words, the ultimate truth of the matter, were like a dagger piercing Shi Huai's heart. Her tears stopped, and her faith became even stronger. The more these harsh words pierced her heart, the more she sobered up and stopped having any undue attachment to the mother and daughter.
It turned out that Shi Huai's stepmother had already planned to sell Shi Huai to the red-light district and had even received a deposit of tens of thousands of yuan.
They treat themselves well and what they want is the house left to them by their parents and the value of their own labor.
They don't even consider themselves as human beings!
Veins bulged on Zhou Jibai's neck in anger. He originally wanted to tear the evidence into pieces, but in the end he forced himself to hold on to the last bit of his sanity and slammed the documents on the table.
"Bang!" There was a loud noise, and the house was shocked into silence.
Because of these misunderstandings, I hated Zhou Jibai for such a long time in vain.
Shi Huai was reborn, and only learned the truth before her death. But when all the evidence was laid out before her eyes, the heartache and grief made her heart ache.
There was a baby in her belly, so she didn't dare to have too much emotional fluctuation and let herself calm down little by little.
But the bean-sized tears were still flowing out one by one. She sniffed and started to act: "How could it be..."
As she spoke, she stumbled back a few steps, as if she was too weak to bear the truth of the matter. Zhou Jibai supported her in time.
"How could my mother and sister do this..." Tears welled up in Shi Huai's eyes as he glanced at the old lady sitting in front of him with a solemn expression.
It was the first time that the old lady heard the truth. She never expected that the mother and daughter whom her granddaughter-in-law usually protected would be such beasts!
If Shi Huai hadn't cried at the dinner table that day to speak up for her stepmother, saying how sad and depressed she was about marrying her second grandson, and if she hadn't taken her anger out on herself, I wouldn't have known it until I checked. Once I checked, I would have been really shocked.
"People's hearts are like devils! These two bastards are really rebelling against heaven!" The old lady gritted her teeth and angrily slammed the armrest of the chair.
Shi Huai acted as if he couldn't believe the reality, and kept muttering to himself, choking with sobs as he spoke: "Grandma, did you make a mistake in your investigation?"
Mrs. Zhou felt quite helpless and heartbroken: "At this point, you are still stubborn and refuse to change?"
Zhou Jibai couldn't help but hug the person in his arms tightly. He could understand that Shi Huai couldn't accept the truth of the matter for a while, and he didn't want her emotions to fluctuate too much.
"I'll take care of the problem for you. All you have to do now is calm down and get some rest. Okay?"
Seeing that both of their emotions were aroused by him, how could Shi Huai give up helping Tang Xiaoling "explain" so easily?
She shook her head and sobbed as she recounted all the good things Tang Xiaoling had done for her.
"No, no, no, it must be fake. Mom loves me so much every day. Knowing that I love beauty and want to lose weight, she often makes vegetarian dishes for me and meat for my sister. When I was in school, she knew that I loved studying and was reluctant to spend money on materials, so she brought my sister's homework to me to use as review materials.
She knew I was afraid of the dark and couldn't live alone in a large room, so she gave up her sister's small room for me to exchange clothes with. She knew I had too many clothes to wear, so she took the initiative to help me give them to my sister... How could she not love me? She said she loved me more than her own daughter, and that she did all this for my own good. How could she possibly sell me off?
As Shi Huai recounted what Tang Xiaoling had done to her, Zhou Jibai and Old Lady Zhou's faces became increasingly ugly and gloomy.
He gave meat to his daughter and vegetables to Shihuai.
Let Shi Huai act like a tool to help her daughter with homework.
The big room of Shi Huai was taken away and given to the younger daughter, and Shi Huai lived in the small room.
Instead of buying new clothes for Shi Huai, you gave all of Shi Huai's clothes to your daughter?
He even mentally controlled and PUA'd a girl who lacked love and emotional support since childhood! ?
Damn it indeed!!
Zhou Jibai's breathing was disordered. After listening to Shi Huai crying and talking about all the "favors" his stepmother had for him, he wished he could go straight to the disgusting mother and daughter and cut them into pieces!
The atmosphere seemed to be wrapped in a thin layer of cold air. Shi Huai seemed to accept the reality. He raised his eyes that were like apricot blossoms wet by the spring rain. His slender body leaned in Zhou Jibai's arms. He trembled uncontrollably and spoke in a hoarse voice.
"I'm sorry Zhou Jibai, I misunderstood you all along."
This is a sincere apology.
She owes Zhou Jibai many, many apologies.
I'm sorry for always misunderstanding your sincerity.
I'm sorry, I have never stood firmly behind you and believed in you once.
I'm sorry for causing you to have a car accident and leaving you disabled.
I'm sorry for messing up your peaceful life.
Zhou Jibai's heart tightened, as if the softest part of his heart was poked hard.
It was obvious that she had suffered a great injustice, but the first thing she did after learning the truth was to apologize to herself?
If these evidences had not surfaced, he would have no idea that his spoiled little wife had suffered so many unknown grievances.
A bitter taste spread across Zhou Jibai's heart. The corners of his eyes turned red, and his brows knitted together. "You've never done anything wrong to me."
