0104 Settling Accounts
He seems to never apologize, no matter who he is or what he does.
Just like this time when she was so frightened by him and Yu Xuan that she miscarried, he was prepared to let it go as if nothing had happened. Sometimes Yu Diandian really hated his ruthlessness.
The room was quiet except for the snoring from the bed next door. Jiang Jiping sighed inwardly and was about to say something when her phone, which was on the table, suddenly rang.
He picked it up and glanced at it. When he saw that it was a call from Jiang Jifan, his brow twitched.
Yu Diandian turned around and took the phone from his hand.
"Hey, sister-in-law, I'm heading back to the hospital now. Would you like something to eat?"
"No need, you should come back soon, it's too late, it's not safe outside..."
Jiang Jifan is a madman. If she sees him, she'll probably go crazy again. Although Jiang Jiping isn't afraid of her, he's afraid that Yu Diandian will be affected by her. After she hung up the phone, he stood up and said, "If she comes back and sees me, she'll make a scene again. You should rest well. I'm leaving now. I'll come see you again in a couple of days."
After he left, Yu Diandian buried herself under the covers and cried silently. Then, before Jiang Jifan returned, she quietly wiped away her tears and pretended that he had never been there.
Jiang Jifan still bought some fruit and brought it back. When he opened the drawer and saw a wad of money inside, he immediately looked up and asked her, "That dog came by?"
Yu Diandian followed her gaze and was slightly taken aback when she saw the stack of money.
Knowing she couldn't hide it any longer, she simply nodded.
Jiang Jifan closed the drawer and sat down on the stool by the bed.
"Sister-in-law, tell me the truth, do you regret marrying him?"
Jiang Jiping was a bastard, so Yu Diandian came to their house when she was a teenager. When she found out, she chased after him with a broom and beat him up, cursing him for abusing people.
He really ruined people. What decent man would be away from home all day, neglecting his wife and children and having an extramarital affair?
Jiang Jifan has always abhorred this, which is why she has always looked down on Jiang Jiping.
A man like him doesn't deserve a wife and daughter.
Yu remained silent.
Regret? She had never thought about that question.
She's been with Jiang Jiping since she was a teenager, and although she's still afraid of him, she also loves him very much...
Before this, Yu Diandian always believed that she was blessed by God—being able to be with the person she liked when she was young and have a child with him was something that many people dream of.
Therefore, she always felt very lucky.
After all, she was so insignificant back then...
She didn't want to talk about it, so Jiang Jifan didn't force her.
Her sister-in-law was very gentle and even more timid than Yao Man. Although she didn't want to admit it, she had indeed been well protected by Jiang Jiping before, so she often treated her like a little sister.
"It's late, go to sleep, sister-in-law. I'll take care of everything else for you."
Jiang Jifan kept his word and found the culprit the very next day.
"Bang bang bang!"
Early in the morning, Yu Xuan heard banging on the door. She had just returned home and gone to bed not long ago. The sudden knocking annoyed her, and she got up to open the door, still grumpy from being woken up.
"Who is it!" As soon as she opened the door, she saw Jiang Jifan with black hair, red lips, and high heels standing at the door. She was so startled that she hurriedly closed the door.
Jiang Jifan was prepared. With a sudden kick of her high-heeled foot, she kicked the door open and strode into the room.
"Yu Xuan, you have the guts to be a mistress but not the guts to show your face in public, right?"
Yu Xuan's eardrums ached from the volume of her voice, and she covered one ear in unbearable pain.
She had just been beaten up by Jiang Jiping last night, and now this woman was harassing her again. She was so annoyed that she put her hand down, looked at her, and yelled, "Are you sick in the head?! Are you two siblings both out of your minds?! If you're sick, then stop running around outside all the time!"
Jiang Jifan saw the injuries on her cheek and forehead and instantly understood. He sneered, "What? Jiang Jiping hit you?"
"None of your business!" Yu Xuan glared at her.
She seemed to have seen something amusing; she slung her bag over her shoulder, clapped her hands vigorously, and laughed loudly, "Great! Let the dogs fight!"
Jiang Jifan didn't believe that Jiang Jiping had a change of heart; it was all because Yu Xuan had harmed his interests.
After all, he's the kind of person who, when he gets ruthless, will even hit women.
Yu Xuan gritted her teeth, her bare face looking tired and haggard, her expression fierce and twisted. Pointing at the door, she shouted at her, "You've laughed enough, can you get out now?!"
She was in so much pain that all she wanted was for her to get out of there so she could go home and get a good night's sleep.
Jiang Jifan stopped smiling and took a few steps forward. She had specially chosen a pair of 10-centimeter high heels today, and now she was more than half a head taller than her.
"Yu Xuan, being a mistress isn't easy. If you're not afraid of death, then keep trying." Jiang Jifan looked down at her, his eyes sinister and cold, devoid of any warmth, and warned in a deep voice, "I don't care what you and that dog Jiang Jiping have been doing outside, if you dare to cause trouble for my sister-in-law again, I'll kill you!"
After saying that, he shoved her so hard she stumbled.
Yu Xuan barely managed to stand, staring intently at her. After a long while, she suddenly burst into maniacal laughter, "I'm not dead yet, but someone else is already half-dead, right?"
She clicked her tongue, her sarcasm undisguised: "Yu Diandian is so pathetic. She can't even control her own husband, all she does is complain to you. Such a cowardly woman deserves it..."
"Smack!"
Jiang Jifan pulled his hand away and slapped her across the face.
"You dare to mention my sister-in-law?" Her eyes flashed with the same ruthlessness as Jiang Jiping's, and she glanced at herself with disdain.
"Although she also has the surname Yu, fortunately she never needs to rely on serving wild men to make a living like some people do."
"Yu Xuan, what are you so arrogant about?"
Yu Xuan was so angry that her face turned red and white in turns, and her hands, hanging at her sides, trembled uncontrollably. After she left, she screamed like a madwoman and smashed everything she could reach in the house to pieces.
Author's Note: Actually, if you ignore all the messy stuff, the relationship between the scumbag brother and his sister-in-law is quite sweet (not trying to whitewash them!). The epilogue will depict their relationship in their youth. The sister-in-law is a typical naive and pitiful character. Although she's love-struck, there's a reason for it.
